THE TEATED TERM. General Improvement in the City's Temperature Yesterday, What as Been one at the Hospitals | During the Hot Weather. | NATURE OF SUNSTROKE. fhe indications early yesterday morning pointed toa | tontinuation of the heated term, The thousands who | on Sunday left the city for the seaside and mountain Tesorts, und who had to return to business the next fay, found the city like an oven in the forenoon and everybody sweltering. As the day wore on the heat Somewhat abated, and a littie after four o'clock & gentle breeze sprang up from the south- east, which graduaily grew in strength till | At became absolutely a pleasure to saunter along the Bhady side of tho street, meditating over the fact (?) Shat the backbone of the heated term bad at last been broken, That there at one time appeared to be good reason for the supposition it ia only necessary to state that at six in the eveniug the thermometer indicated only S4aegrees in the shade, whereas 1 showed 02 degrees two hours and a bul! before, aud that at half- past seven it was at only 82 degrees, with wine welvome breeze as fresh as ever and apparentiy growing cooler. In the tenement house distriets the breeze, however, had but little effect, and the heat Inthe more closely packed quarters was ex- cessive, made all the more intolerable by the stench from the gutters, The docks last evening were crowded with mothers and their little ones trom the tenements in the near neighborhood, who were able there to find some relief from the heat in their pent up rooms. Ifthe backbone of the heated term 18 really broken there will be no mourners in this city, tor the record shows that for fourtcen days out of the seventeen of this mouth the thermometer indicated every day at some hour 90 degrees in the shade, and that the mer- tury has been xmong the nineties for twenty-two days Mince the lst of June. THE HOSPITALS, ‘The hospitals of the city have been abundaatly able to meet the increased number of casualties caused by the excessive heat. Bellevue and the New York City Hospital have taken in almost all the cases of sun- iroke that faied to receive home attention, The at- tendant physicians at these hospitals unite in declaring the number of victims from solar heat to be unpre- cedentod. They are satisticd, at the same timo, that with the proper precautions sunstroke should be as rare here as it isin the West Indies, Strong driuk is At the bottom of seven out of nine cases of this mal- ady, and irregular and unwholesome eating may also be held responsible. Yesterday a fresh, bracing air from oif the ocean made the atmosphere quite endur- Able, and instances of sungtroke were imited. A Heaco reporter made a tour of the hospitals with the object of ascertaining their experience of the last three weeks, THE MORGUE Max. He also dropped in at the Morgue, and was informed | by the keeper that bis time has been pretty well filled tm with business tor the past part of tho month. “Thero are three classes of bodies,” said he, “tuatl have the most dislike to handle—drowns, burns and sunstrokes, A sunstroke corpse won't keep louger than eight hours, n it should be buried.

OFFAL IN THE BAY.

A CHALLENGE FROM THE AUSTRALIAN RIFLE- MEN-—ARBANGEMENTS POR AMERICA. Desurm, July 6, 1876. A meeting of the Council of the Irish Rifle Associa- tion was held on Tuesday, being the earliest possible date yr the meeting ut Wicklow, to consider some pressing business, and upop adjournment was continued | yesterday. The first thing which called for attention | was o challenge from the Australian riflemen to the National Association of England. The terms of this | challenge were as follows A match to be fired with the Martini-Henry rifle, at 200, 500 and 600 yurds, ten shots at each range, and two ting #bols; also the same men to tire with small-bore rifles at 600, 800 and 900 yards, ten shots at each range, and two sighting shots. " The highest total of both matches to be declared (he winning score This chatlenge 18 to be iesued to five Englishmen, ave Scotehmen, or five Irishimen—not tive Britishers, The tate lo bi ed uader .2e usual National Rifle Asso- clation rules. We are induced to forward this, as the number of matches open for Vicvorians will no doubt be limited. It was agreed to accept this challenge, it being under- stood that the match will be shot during the approach- ing meetiag at Wimbledon, Lieutenant Fenton was requested, in conjunction with Major Leech, to select a team to meet the Australians, It is understood that Mr. Fenton will select for this purpose the best shots out of the “Irish eight,” The next business was to namo the Irish eight who areto compete at Wimbledon with the English and Scottish eights for the custody of the Hicho challenge shield. Yhis match is fixed Jor Thursday, 20th July. According to the regulations governing the competition for places in the etght, which took piace at Wickiow ou the 28th and 291 of June (and coincided with the com- petition for places in the Centennial team for America), H.” Fulton and J, K. Milner-should bave been respectively third and sixth man in the eignt. But both declared their mability to b2 present ut Wim- dledon. ‘This upset the trastitiona! arrangements, and tue council had practicaily to reconstitute the eight. After consultation the following ridemen wore se- locted to uptiold the honor of Ireland (whieh at present keeps the shield) at Wimbledon :— 1, William Rigby. 2, Lieutenant George Fenton. %& Edmund Johnson. 4. Captain W. Smyth (from Glasgow). James Wilson, n Rigby. nant A. H. Ward ((rom Chester), D. Got, Three “men in waiting,’ or supernumeraries, were selected—viz, W. R. Joynt, R. 8 Groenill avd F.C. K. Cooper, ‘A reference to the soores made at Wicklow, and al- ready transmitted to the Hrga.v, will show that John Rigby and Goff have, in this selection, obtained piaces to which their performances on the Murrough would not have entitled them. BatJohn Rigby requires no test of qualification, aud Goff has come to be univer- sally esteemed an admirable marksman. ‘The next business which the counci! had to take into consideration was the arrangements to be made in con- nection with the American team. Major Loech was formally appointed by the council to be captain ot the team. ‘Tniz disposes of the quibbles raised on this point, Lieutenant Fenton was appointed adjutant. It will be remembered that, last Saturday, a meeting of competitors wag held at Wicklow, as the Haratp has been already notitied, when 1t was resoived to in- vite J. K. Milner, J. G, Pollock and & S. Young to join the nine (Captain Smyth having d ‘ed he could not go out to Aterica) already successful competitors, | Whose numes were transmitted a week ago, ‘Tnere 18 great uncertainty about John Rigby and J, K. Milner, partly on account of business matters which claim their presence in Europe, partly un aecount ot private personal affairs which cannot well permit their absence, Tre name of James Wilson was also mentioned as a man whose presence ou the team ought to be secured, if possible, he having made during the two days of the Aborcorn Cup 405 marks, or three more than Cooper, who succeeded m winning fifth piace in the Centennial team. Wilson bad taken no part in the early compett- tons at Dundalk, hence be had dropped out of the running for Ameriea, The Couneil of the Rifle Asso- ciation DoW resolved that (he Secretary should wre to Messrs. John Rigby, J. K. Milner and James Wilson, asking each and allof them to consent to go out to America as members ot the team, A comtittee was ulso appointed to collect subscrip- tions to dotray expenses connected: with¥sending out the team to America, L adhere to.the statement made in my last letter, that the personnel of the team cai as yet by no means bo regarded as settled. 1 doube tf anything really defigite can be ascertained before the second weck in August. In this uncertainty [ have thought it prudent to send the scores made by Fulton, Milner and Wilson during the competition of the 28h and 29th of June. On these scores they ought to occupy third, sixth and seventh places, respectively, in tne Centeunial team, THE SCORK, H.

Justice Barnard, of the Supreme Court, has rendered an opinion ta the action which was brought by James J. Garvey, Dough- erty’s exceutor, jor the construction of the will The 1 maintaining of a echoothouse thereon for the benefit testator created the Bishop of Raphoe, Ireland, trus- tee, upon the following trasi:—"‘The money shall be used for the parchase of w site for the erection aad the poor Roman Cathohc children of 2 et Sipe, ecany ot Dong parish ot ye, county Ireland, and to. have aud to hold the same to sai¢ Bishop and his successors forever.’’ The (estator gave to the Bishop all his personal Pawo in trast for the execution of this scheme, lie directed his reul estate ts be sold by his execusors at the “xpiration of four years alter his death and the proceeds to be paid tothe Bishop. After reviewing the law bearing on the Judge Barnard says:—My conclusions therefore are:— 1 The power of sale to operate utter the end of four years is invalid. 3 2 That the four years’ estate in the land to reut (he saine 1s invalid, uot oeing limited by hvea, 3 That the gift of the land to the Bisbop of Raphoe, as land, is invalid under our law, for the reason that the trust is not one authorized by the statutes. 4. That the four years’ accumulation of the rents to form part of the residuary egtate is invalid under our | statete; and that the amount collected tor rent belong- ing to that of the next eventual cstate, which is that of the heirs at law of the testator, : 5. That the office ot Bishop of Raphoe has no power of suecession in law, and the holder of the office cam: not take a title to land acquired by bis predecessor in office or do apy legal act by virtue ef his oflice as successor of a preceding bishop, and hence the whol plan proposed is illegal im Ireland and fails for tnat reason. 6. The giltto the Orphan Asylum Is good for the reason that the two (2) months’ limitation of the law of 1848 docs not apply (ou benevolent association not fuunded under tue genera! law oi 1848, and the charter of the Orphan Asylum and the amendment does not subject it to that restriction. 7 After the payment of the three legacies Orsi the wil! that the residue of the estate be dia i: among the beirs wt law and next of kin of de coaged, the saine a8 if, as to such residue, he had dieq whoily iniestate, THE STATE BAR ASSOCIATION.

On Saturday morning Edward Ischudy, a clerk in the employ of Messrs, Wagner, Schneider & Co,, dealers in upholstery goods at No. 185 Canal street, noticed thal jiece of upholsterers’ woollen cloth, valued at abow $125, which had been lying on one of the counters, wa missing, but no clew to the thieves could be obtained, Shortly after one o’clock in the afternoon he noticed three young men, Isaac Wilsey, aged twenty, of Na 191 Cunal street; Jcromiah Daly, aged twenty. one, of No, 35 Crosby _ street and Edward Landers, aged twenty-one, of No. 100 Mott street stop in frout of the premises, and, after a short consu: tation, Wilsey aud Daly sat on a stoop next door, whik Landers entered the store und attempted to steal another piece of the cloth, but seeing that he was boyng watched, he ran out of the store and the trio escaped, Yesterday morning, officer Nealis of the Fourteent® precinct, succeeded in arresting them. They wert taken before Judge Wandel! at the Tombs Police Court, wen Landors admitied haying stolen the cloth and tuken it to the residence of Wilsey, at No. 191 Canal street, and afterwards sold it to a man in Fourth Ward. Although Wilsey denied this statement in toto, he and Landers were committed for trial in dev fault of $2,000 each. Daly was remanded to the sta tion house in order to give the olflicer time to prove him an accomplico m Wie transaction. ROBBED At CONEY ISLAND, The thieves appear to have inarked Coney Island foP their own this season, so numerous. are the victims of their rapacity at that place, and so great bas been the immunity which the rogues have thus jar enjoyed from detection, Yesterday Detective Charles Frost, of the Brooklyn Central office, was cngaged in a hope less search for $700 worth ct proverty which was sto Jen from the pockets of two Pennsylvania priests, while they were bathing in the surt at Coney Isiand oa The clergymen, after roving ior ri, locked the doors, leaving two gold watches, -values at $500, und $260 in greenvacks in their pockets, Upon retarning they discovered that the house had been entered during their absence, and their property was gone The watches are engraved with their uames and address, and it will therefore bo dillicult for the robbers to dispose of them, HEARTLESS RASCALITY, Archibald Eadie, of No. 334 East Twenty-fifth street, and David McClintock, of No. 255 First avenue, both Diind, called at the Central Office to-day and reporied that they had been swindied out of $9 by a man caliing himself Professor L.

It has been a matter of contest between the Now York Central Railroad and the Mayor for some time as to whether the road named should have the right to ran dummy engines at mght down to their new freight depot at Barotay street, bringing thereto and taking thereirom empty and loaded cars, or whether the Cen- tral should merely run their tugs and floats to the new entrepot, just as to their otner river front stations. It seems 10 be conceded that the St, John’s Park depot of the company is totally inadequate to the business wants of the merchants and the Central, and while the former were clamoring for new facilities to ship or ree ceivo their goods in a lower part of the city, and the latter were arranging to give them such fucilities at Barclay street, the resolution adopted by the Board of Aldermen to permit dummies to be’ran at night was vetoed by the Mayor. The Cheap Transportation As: sociation then indorsed, by proceedings at the time pubushed in the Hekaiy, the position of the Central, und 4 Committee Was uppointed to urge upon the Aldermen and the Mayor whe gr of the requisite permission to the end that New York’s terminal sacilt- tiey should go far be mereased. Another oppovition now seems to have developed in the Erie Railway Company to the Ceatral’s encroach. menis on the North River, the Erie claiming that If the Contra used ine Beit line of road tor ihe transportation Barclay street depot the Krie would be equal use of the sane on accoant uf the difference in its guage, and not only this, but that the streets would be blocked by cars toa great injury to the business both of the merchants and the krie Company. Meantime the Central bas been steadily working ta complete their new depot, and now that the painters are pucting the finishing touchés to it itis seea to be Som of the handsomest freight stations on the river rome. A Haravp reporter waited on Mr. Rat - eral Freight Agent, at the Grand Centr depo yester- day, to inquire ther the opposition vy the Mi aud Erie Kaiiway Compauy would make any differ nee io the commencement of business at Barclay street. The answer Was:+-Notatull We commence opera- tion# there on Monday uext. Of course, we cannot haul cars there by rail, ax was at first iotended, jeaxt until the present attitude of the Mayor changes ot other facetious opposition ceases; but we shall bring goods there by tugs and floats The ner. chants were complaiming that their goods were deli down with 100 mueh delay, to help them as well at our own business by erecting the mew treight depot, and We tind ourselves embarrassed at aliuiust every step.
