REFORM OF THE CORONER'S OFFICE, The Prohibitory Pool Selling Bill Recommitted. <i etemntemertrmneen: Atuaxy, Ved, 18, 1877, Business crept slowly through the two houses to- @ay. Most of the Senate’s time was taken up with a Dill. concerning tho Coroners in the city and county of Now York, while the House spent the morning in the discussion of a motion to recommit the prohibitory pool selling bill and half a dozen points of order grow- Ing out of it, The time consumed over debating par- hhamentary questions is occasionally quite considerabic, In fact there never was so much of that fort of discussion im the Legisiature, ‘This is owing to the presence of so many members who have had some prior legislative experience and are fond of airing their knowledge or ignorance, as it nay be, of the science, Speaker Sloan had a trying timo attending to and disposing of the many peiuts of order raised, but be proved bimsell equal to the occasion, and bowled down some of the veterans with a skill fnd finish that excited gencral adwiratou, A little moro experience and Speaker Sloan will be able to handle this turbulent assembiage with all the ease of ‘Qo old hand at the business. ‘The bill concerning pool selling was finally recom- Butted to the Judiciary Committee to allow persons connected with certain driving associations in the Btate to be beard on it and against the amendment forbidding the sale of pools on any race truck what- ever. UTILIZING HELPLESS CHARITIES. Mr. Joseph Stein introduced a bill to provide for the @issulution of charitable and venevolent corporations Incorporated under the general laws of the State, It gives the Supreme Court the power, upou proper ap- plication and hearing, to vacate the certificate of in- torporation and dissolve the corporation and assign all its property und effects to any other society incor- porated for any like purpose. The object of the biil Is jo secure the merging of many charitable societies of fmited means into those of more extended usefulness, practically having the effect of doing greater charity at Much less expense. REGULATING BUSINESS CORPORATIONS, Mr. Husted introduced a bill to amend the act passed Juno, 1876, providing for the organization and regulation of certain business corporations, which de- clares that the capital stock of every corporation formed under tho act shall be divided into shares of not jess than $10 each nor more than $100 cach, and any business corporation organized under the gencral Jaws of the State or by special charter, whether formed before or after the passage of this act, may come under and avail itself of its privileges. TUR INTERKBT ON CITY TAXES. The idea embraced in a bill of Mr. J. C. Dimonds $s not new, for it has already been expressed under an- ctwer form. His bill provides hat the interest to be colected onthe annualtax for the year 1876, and every annual tax hereafter upou property in the city of New York, real and personal, shall be at the rate ol seven per cept per annum for ove year from and afterthe date of confirmation of said taxes re- spectively, provided, however, that any tax may be aid without interest if paid before the Ist day of ecember next following its confirmation. STRERT CLEANING CONTRACTS, Mr. Grady introduced a bill containing an implied ensure on, white extending a heiping band to, the Board of Police. It provides that the Board of Police Is authorized to maxe contracts for one or more years with responsible persons for the removal ut ashes, ‘bage and street sweepings, provided the work can done at less cost and with greater efficiency than at present. THE LIBERTY OF THE CITIZE! Last year Mr. William T. Graff, of the Fifteenth pre- ‘cinet, drove a hobby to death, in relerence to giving arresied persons, When. a magistrate 18 not avaiable, he privicege of Dail at the hands of a police captain. Dr. Hay banded ina bill providing that in case a person 18 arrested tor any breach of the peace not Amounting to a riot or for violation of any corperation, Qealth or excise ordinance, and such arrest occurs too late in the day or night to convey the person before a Magistrate, the Superintendent of Police sball have power to enlarge the liberty of the arrested party upon 4is entering into a recognizance ina sum not excced- ng $500, WHAT THE STATE MAY SAVE, In what Mr, Husted bas here thrown into the form wf @ bill he asseverates, if it becomes law, the State will effect a saving of us much as $150 a day, It declares that the Treasurer of the State sball pay, on the warrant of the Comptroller, the sum of $2,169,543, which 1s hereby appropriated trom the moneys ia the treasury to the creait of the general fund debt sinking fund, to be applied to the payment of that portion of e general jund State debt held by the Comptroller ta trust for various funds, including $4,000 reimbursable July 1, 1875, not paid. LIMITING LOCAL EXPENDITURES. For several years past something hike the subjoined, by Mr. Cowdin, has been before the Legislature :—It provides that no local improvement shail hereafter be Made in or along any street or avenue in New York, and the expenses of such improvement be assessed upon the property intended to be benefited vy it, unless the improvement be made on the petition of the owners of at least one-half the lingai lect of frontage n such street or avenue. THE WISDOM OF OLD 8. Alvord introduced the same Dill that reported from the Judiciary Committee by Mr. Strahun pro- bibiting theselling of pools, except that the clause that lorbius the sale of pools on political nominations and elections is stricken out. It is Mr. Alvord’s notion to huve separate bills on the separate subjects of pool yelling on horse racing and elections, in place of being linked together as they are now, and let each stand or tail on its own merits, 1tis bard tu see what is to be gained by this move. RETRENCHMENT IN THE SENATE. The Woodin bills abolishing the Ice system and fixing the suluries of the Coroners, County Clerk, Commts- sioner of Jurors and Register of the city ot New York were the special ord«r in the Senate. Contrary to gen- pral expectution there way not a large delegation of vilice-holders in the guilery, and it early became up- purent that there would be no dilliculty Whatever over bhe main points at issue, and that democrats aud republicans were unanimous in the that something ought speedily to be dove toward doing away with the enormous pecuniary emoluments of which city officials are the recipienta Nearly ali the time was consumed in tue discussion of the Coroners? bill, Mr, Dorman B, Eaton eniering the Seu- ate chamber “ead, silent, solitary and alone” just as it ‘Was pussed in ils amended form. Mr. Woodin, on moving the bili, quoted freely (rom Comptroller Green’s reply of last year to an inquiry by the Assem- biy in relation to the adumiuistration of we focal gov- frnment of the city of New York. He bandied the Manner in which business bad veen transacted by Coroners in New York during the past without gloves, and charged that the abuses which existed were a dis- grace to tbe city. He spoke of CROKEK'S ADMINISTRATION especially, and charged that the names of six jurors Bppeared in 120 cuses out of 2g lo show that a system of summoning jur in operation dis ereditable, if actually erimina Mr. Gerard and Mr. Bixby both made brief speeches favoring retrench- nent und reform, and claiming that the democratic party were as much in favor of proper reductions as the republicans were. Mr. Morrissey said he bad been present ata meet- ing in New York city on Saturday which was attended by representatives of all the reform associations, He found that these reformers bad uot read the bills under consideration. He was in favor of the bill now Delors the committee, and would go « it weot. He thought an of weparta York city cou well be abolished, Tne Department of Docks, for instance, might, iu the form ol a bure go to the Puvlic Works; the Building | might gu to the Fire Department, and the Excise to the Police. The heads of the various departments would be in Albany ina few days. and he thought it would be well to postpone the further consideration of th iii until they had an opportunity to be heard, In any evont, he would vote for Wwe bill.

Mr. Lawrence frankly admitted that Mr. Tilden's chances at present looked ‘‘very blue,” and he was convinced that the commission,would decide Louis- jana, avd possibly Oregon, in addition to Florida, for Hayes and Wheeler. He thinks Tilden has, how- ever, a good case in Oregon, “I wish it distinctly understood that I place the pro- posed withdrawal of the democratic members from the commission apart trom any question of constitu- tionahty, om the ground that the refusal of the majority to go into any scrutiny of the validity of the votes given for the electors was a virtusl abdication of their functions, which were to ascertain from the papers before Congress, or otherwise, who {| were the legally chosen, electors. In their re- port on the Florida case the commission only hag done what it was proposed by the republicans that the President of the Senate should do, and to prevent which tho commission was instituted, Nor is the case different in ite results if we are to regard the commission not in Its constitutional or legal aspect, butas@ matter of arbitration, That even an arbitration between nations is not binding | unless the award follows the submission was fully shown in the case of the reference of the northeastern boundary of the United States to the King of the Netherlands, who, instead of deciding what were the mountains of the treaty, made the boundaries Wrween the United States and Nova Scotia in the middle of a river, The decision was at once repu- | diated by the United States; and England ad- mitted that it was not binding on us, Had the commission gone into the examination of the test!- mony on which the rights of the respective claimants depended, Congress might have been, at least, morally bound by it, whatever tho decision. As it is, there can be Lo pretext that the report of the commission has any force,”” HAYES ‘THE PACIFICATOR. | JUDGE MACKEY PREPARING POPULAR SENTIMENT IN SOUTH CAROLINA TO HAIL THE INAUGURA- TION OF HAYES AS THE SALVATION OF THE SOU1B—HIS VIEWS INDORSED BY GENERAL KERSHAW—HAMPTON [0 BE RECOGNIZED AS GOVERNOR, [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD. j Couvunia, 8, ., Feb, 18, 1877. Judge T. J. Mackey, who recently visited Governor Hayes, bas been creating a lively sensation throughout the upper portion of the State by preparing the people in a series of addresses for the inauguration of Hayes us President, The Judge, a fow days ago, decided that Hampton was the legully elected and qualified Gov- eruor of the State; in the case of a prisoner pardoned by the distinguished democratic claimant for the office, Judge Mackey arrived here to-day, and as his ut- terances have attracted such general attention he was called upon by the Hxkap correspondent, to whom be freely expressed his views. Hesaid:— JUDGE MACKKY’S VIEW OF THE SITUATION, “I regard it as an absolute verity that Hayes will be declared President. 1 have no doubt that tne Electoral Commission will hold that the votes of Louisiana and Oregon must be counted for Hayes, I regard the posi- as ton of the republicans as to both of these State perfectly impregnable, ‘The statute which creat the Returning Board in Louisiana, and defines its powers and duties, virtually vests tt with the authority to appoint tho Presidential electors by conferring upon it the pewer to revise the returns and to reject or expunge majorities which in their judgment were obtained through intimidation. The constitution of the United States provides that the Presidential elec- tors shall be appointed in such manner as the Legus- latures of the several States shall direct, und the power of appointment in Louisiana has practically been del gated to the Returning Board. This may be dangerous law, bat it is nevertheless Jaw, and the decision of the Returning Roard must be regarded as the judgment of the court of last resort upon the question as to who wero duly elected Presidential electors. TUX LAW A8 TO THE ORKGON VOTE, “The Oregon problem will be solved by the applica. cation of fumiliar legal principles) The statute there provi that the College of Electors sball fill all va- cancies, This means, inlaw, that the majority shull exercise the power, and negat the idea that in a college actually composed of three persons present, one of them ghould segregate himseli and proceed to disiranchise the other two, by declaring their seats va- cant and pretending to elect two others in their stead. ‘This wouid be alike contrary to law and right reasva, anu would be, in fact, reversing the order of nature by making the tail Wag the dog instead of the dog wa; ging the tail HAYES THE PACIFICATOR OF THA SECTIUNS. “I believe that Hayes, as President, will exert bis powers bemgnly toward the South and be tl cator of the sections, I am satisfied thi speedily recognize the government of Hampton in South Carolina and that of Nicholls in Louisiana, and that ne will do this as an act of supreme justice und Sagacious policy, ‘This will also be in accordance with the pledge given by bim in hig letter of acceptance, in which he declared that if elected President be would endeavor, by all legitimate agencies, to foster the es- tablishment of intelligent and bonest local [- government in the States of the South, and expressed the opinion that it would be practicable for him to contribute to this beneficent re- sult, when, 1 those States, the rights of all are recog- nized and respected by all, Hampton’s government stands ready to comply with this just condition, both in letter and 1m spirit PREPARING SOUTHERN SENTIMENT. “I have been endeavoring, and I think successfully, to 1opress my teliow citizens with the views nere e: pressed, since my visit to Governor Hayes. I have a dressed many public meetings called to hear me ou the political situation since my return from Ono, aud the probable accession of Hayes to the Presidency is no longer regarded by the democracy of my circuit, a8 portending evil to South Carolina, or the cause Of good governmeut in the Southern States, Un jast Saturday 1 addressed upon this subject a large audience oi white and colored citizens iu Lancaster, the birthplace of General Andrew Jackson. 1 was heard with respectial attention as | portrayed the civil and military carcer of Hay and when I re: bis lever, written trom the Sir deab Valiey in 1864, protesting against retaliation upon Confederate prisoners lor cruelties intlicted upon Union prisoners ut Andersonville, I was heartily applauded by the ex.

GENERAL KERSHAW INDORSES HAYES. 1 was followed ®y General Kershaw, one of the most splendid types of the soldier that the late war pro- duced, His division was immediately opposed to that of Hayes at Cedar Mountain, of which buttle it has been said by Howell, the biographer of Hayes, that 1 made Sheridan a lieutenant general, Gordon United Svates Senator, and Hayes Governor of Ohio, Allud- ing to my encomium upon Hayes General Kershaw said:—‘-Even though the dearest wish of our hearts bo defeated by the failure of Mr. Tilden to be declared President I still shall have fall faith that, with Hayes as the President of the United States, justice will be done throughout the whole jand, and glory and honor and peace will crown’ our country | through his wiseand benign administration of its gov. | ernment, and as to the question /of his title to the | Presiden I shall hold the judgment of the high Klectoral Commission now sitting at Washington as final and authoritative upon all the issues 1uvoived in the great and perplexing problem which it bas been assemblod to solve,” STATE APPAIRS.

THE FLORIDA ELECTION. A CARD FROM MANTON MARBLE 1N REPLY TO MR. FRYE. Wasuixaroy, D. C., Feb, 13, 1877. Manton Marble published a card in the Daily Union of this morning denying certain statements of Kepre- sentative Frye made in the House of Representotives. He says:. First—Thore were no Now York politicians in Talla- bassee at the time me: ogi by Mr. Frye. Second—Atvorney Gen Cooke never eed to throw out the count of Monroe county. Third—Attorney General Cooke never voted to throw out the vote of Monroe county, Nobody ever proposed, aud no member of the Canvassing Board over agreea, or ever voted, to throw out the count of Monroe county. When the two republican members of the State Can- vassing Board of Florida had completed their share of the shametul partisan fraud which has pow reversed the vote of the people of Florida. fraud denounced by the Executive, tho Legislature and the judiciary of that State in every possible way—it was perceived that the process of fraud had been worked out mainly in four counties, They took away 1,500 votes trom the Tilden electors and 400 votes trom the Hayes electors, a Det gain ot about 1,000 to the Hayes electors, which was ten times more than enough to overbalance the actual majority of eighty-six which the lower Tilden elector over the higher Huyes elector, as shown upon the face of the returns. THE SHIPPING ACT. PROGRESS’ OF THE PROTEST IN CONGRESS AGAINST THE SYSTEM OF JUDICIAL COMMIS- SIONS. ; WasuinGtoy, Feb, 18, 1877. The important question raised between the United States Shipping Commissioners and the owners, cap- tains apd sailors of vessels in all seaports of the United States, has some prospect of a new settlement. The Shipping Commissioners act of 1872 was deemed to be in several respects unwarranted, It was the first act pussedgby Congress taking away the power of ap- pointing government officers from the executive de- partment and banding it over to the judiciary. By its provisions the Circuit Judges were empowered to ap- point the Shipping Commisstouers in their respective districts, and the Secretary of the Treasury, who is intrusted by law with the direction of other matters connected with American sbipping, bad no power in the selection of appointees, The act required that every time a sailor returned from a cruise he must be discharged, and reshipped, if bis services were again wanted, by a Shipping Commissioner. By this pro- vision every Commissioner got a fee for cach sailor, which, though collected from tho shipowuer, ulti- mately decimated the sailors’ wages. So adroitly was this provision of the act enforced by the Commis- sioners that vessels sailing from Portland to St. John, N. B., for instance, had to discharge their crews and resbip them at considerable expense at the end of @ Voyage of only turty-eight hours. WHAT Was DONE WITH THE FERS. Tho act also required that all tees upward of $5,000 0 year collected by any Commissioner should be turned over to the Treasury Department, This provision was evaded by several Commissioners, It was alleged dur- ing av investigation by the Senate Committee on Com- merce that Commissioner C. C. Duncan, at the port of New York, received avout $50,000 im fees, none of which found their way into the Treasury. Ip nis tcs- timony belore the committce Mr. Dunean explaiued that he employed four soos of his own at salaries of $2,700 each, He cited other expenses to account for delicicncics, AN AMENDMENT RESISTED, In 1873 an amendment was pussed, whereby vessels sailing between ports of the United su , the British provinces 1n North America and the West India Islands ‘were exempted from the operation of the uct oi 1872, Ybe Commissioner at New York omitted to comply with the terms of the amendment, alleging, tt is under- stood, a delect in its construction, though both the secretary of the Treasury and the Attorney General decided that the amenument legully prescribed the duty of every Shipping Commissioner. Mr, Duncan insisted, however, that coasting vessels should be sub- ject to the same conditions as vessels bound to foreign ports, In the meantime the coust lin from New York to Stonington and- Fall River, and from New York to ports as far south as Savannah wuflered distress and annoyance. Commiussiover Dun- can retulned, and contunues to nold to, tis consiruction of the laws, being amonable unuor his judicial appeint- ment neither to the Secretary of the Treasury wor to we Attorney General nor to any other executive olficer. THE WARD BILL, After a long struggle, a v1 l which has come to be known as the ‘‘Ward bill,’ was introduced in the House last year by Hon. Elijah Ward. it amended tbe act of 1572, passed the House, and is now beforo the Senate Committee on Commerce. It proposes, in the first place, that the power to appoint Shipping Commissioners shail be taken out of the hands of the judiciary and given to the Secretary of the ‘Ireasury ; second, that these Com- inissioners shall be aalaried oiticers; that coasting ves- wels and vessel uling tothe West Indies und the British North American provuaees shall be exempt from their authority; algo that sbip owners’ tees shall be reduced and the fees of seamen made nominal in an- ticipation of a collection which will just about pay the expeuses of the system, These classes are intersted iu the Ward bin: — D ’ and captains’ associations, Fourth—Vhe muriume exchanges. Fith—All seamen. i REVORE THE COMMITTER, All but the first class advocute the bill, and have asked to be heard in voues bvetore the Senate com- mittee, the Shipping Commissioners to be heard at the same time. The committee hesitated at iirst to hear oral arguments, and requested written ones, In re- sponse to their wotificution they received a bushel basket{ul of inted urguments, nearly all 1 favor of the Dil, The committee undertook to consider theve waa nts the otber day, but were without a quorum for U ation of the mutter during the entire seasion: members were busy on political investigaty mittees, Jt is learned to-day that the 51 probably be referred to a sub-committeo paving time to deal with it, and that shipowners Irom New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Charleston, Savannah, Bos- ton and Portland, and tbe Shipping Commissioners uf the sume ports’ will be allowed a speedy hearing.

A regular meeting of the Bar Assoctation was held last night at their club rooms, on West Twenty-ninth Btrect. In the absence of William M, Evarts Vico President Sandford occupied the chair, Mr. KE. i. Brownell acting as Secretary, The Treasurer reported 711 members on the roll and a cash balance of $7,422 in the bank. Mr, R. Darling, from the commitice appointed to investigato tho cbarge made against William C, Barrett, a late member of the association, reported they had every reason to believe that he bad been guilty of gross irregularities in bis practice, They had presentod the matter to the Judges Of the Supreme Court, who bad promised to look into the matter. The Executive Committee reported that the case of Titus H. Eldridge, who Was accused of irregularity of practice in the Surrogute’s Court, had been re- ferred by the Supreme Court to William H, Leonard, referee, to take testimony, and recom- mended that the associution appropriate $500 Jor counsel (o prosecute the matter, It was so ordered, A general and lengthy discussion on the question of the morals of the Bar followed, Mr. Charles Price said that he knew of at least two mem- bers of the association. who should be made the su of discipline, and that it would be well for the ecutive Committee to take the work in hand. Mr. Clifford H. Hand raid that the condition of the Bar of New York was fast becoming source of public discussion. He believed there was terrible amount of piracy and extortion practized in some of the courts by members of the Kar, and the Supreme Court Bench should be aided in. bringing the offenders to justice. He moved a resolution to the effect that the Executive Committee should investigate the entire matter, with power to appoint sub-committees or employ counsel to wid the Supreme Court of the dia- trict in 118 efforts to remedy the evil, The resolution wus adopted, Resulutions were passed that the report of the Com. mittee on Extortions, made in 1872, be adopted, aud {hat @ committee of threo be appointed to procure on as shall give eflect to the recom- 8; also that the association approve ot such parts of the Woodin bills pending in the Leg) ure which provide that the County Clerk and Register iu this city be paid fixed salaries instead of tees, MR. CANTRELL DYING. At midnight Mr. Cantrell was reported at Beliévuo Hospital to be dying. He was novexpected to survivo the night, MRS, WORCESTER'S ASYLUM. At the meeting of the Health Board yesterday Dr. Hughes, wno was appointed to investigate the Charies Street Lying-in Hespital case, presented his report. It merely de-eribes in a gingerly way the house and its occupants, two of Whom are male imiante—one sickly and ten days old, bealthy and ove duy old. The report wus laid on the table, THE QUARANTINE REPORT. ‘The annual report of the Commissioners of Quaran- tine, presented to the Legislature yesterday, givesa detailed history of New York quarantine, including statistics, from the original location of the establish- ment on Governor’s Island in 1794, The State appro- priations for quarantine began in 1857, and have amounted to over $2,000,000. Lust winter the Com- missioners recommended that these appropriations should cease and the department be made self-sustuin- ing by applying the revenues to the payment of the expenses. In harmony with this recommendation only $10,000 was appropriated for quarantine last year, compared with appropriations averaging for the ten preceding years (including construction fund) $203,000 annually, Tois nominal appropriation of $10,000 has been found sufficient, and there 1s a balance on hand. Large reductions have been made fo cost to the State for maintaining the artificial ‘slands, health officers’ residences and steambouty, The steamer Nelson K. Hopkins, which in previous years hus cost the State $10,000 annually for running expenses, has paid ber own way this year, The Governor Fenton bas likewise been run without expense to the State, ‘The commission patd for lawyers’ fees $24,000 from 1870 to 1873, Prom 1873 wll 1875 the counsel were only $1,000, and during the past year they hat amounted to nothing, ‘Tne fees for boarding vessels are the same as in 1820, when they were fixed by the Legislature—viz, $6 60 lor foreign, and trom $1 50 to $3 for home vei sels, The former are collected at the Custom House, tho latter from the vessels as they are "boarded. Fumigation rates were reduced by the Commissioners at the —commence- nient of jast season. They offered Hoflman Island to the Emigration Commissio: when Castle Gurden was burned, believing thut this tnused artificial islan which hag cost the State nearly $500,000, cuuld ve pe manently utilized for emixration purposes. ‘The name of Swinvurne Isinnd bas been given to the lower of the two artificial islands, in conformity to a legislative epactment requiring it. ‘Owing to the generous provisions made by the State the Commissioners say there peed be no apprebension as to the ability of the quarantive authorities treating cholera and yelloW fever in the future, During last season 99 Vessels arrived bere having had yellow fever aboard, us compared with 16 in 1875; 89 pavients were emoved to hospital from these vessels, us compared with 33 in 1875, 12 in 1874, 62 in 1873 and 42 in 1872, The report is signed by Commissioners W, L. B. Steers, David W. Judd and James McQuade. DEATH AFTER DEBAUCH. A scene of death again ends a drunken carousal in Suffolk county. Tho locality is shifted from Bay Shore to Greenport; and although it is not @ case of murder, with banging or the State Prison as a probable consequence, the vircumstances are iu some respects even more horribic. The fishing smack Alice, Captain Cook, arrived at Greenport on Suturday night last, and after making her fast to the wharf the captain left for his home, leaving the vessel in charge of two of the crew, Benjamin and Jobo #ranklin. The men re- mained on board uutil sunday afternoon, whon they determined to goon shore, and, hiring a horse and wagon, they drove to tbe village of Southold. While there they fell in with a dissolute young woman residing in the place, named Ida ‘Tinker, and remained in her company during the remainder of the alternoou, When night came on the men started to Tetarn to Greenport, and Ida accompanied them, ‘They spent some little time in the viilage of Greenport, but finally the three went down to the whart and aboard tho smack, where they remained carousing until five o’clock on Mouday morning. Both the men and Ida wished tonvoid observation, and instead of going directly trom the smuck to tho wharf, as they could have done, they took the yawl, imtend- ing to pull around to the railroad wharl, 8) that the girl could take the carly train from Greenport and reach her home before breakfast. Ida avd Benjamin were the first to enter the bout, When Jobo attempted to step in he trod upon the gun- wale and tho boat wus immediately capsized, throwing the three into the water. Benjamin, being unable to awim, sunk and was drowned. John struck out, leaving the rest yo their fate, and succeeded in reach ing the shore in &atety. Ida's clothing buoyed.ber up fora time, aud she shrieked for help betore she sunk. Her cries attracted the attention of some men ipa schooner near by, and she was with great difficulty rescued and taken on shore. Considerable time elapsed, however, betore the services of a physician were procured; meantime nothing was done for her resuscitation, and being thoroughly chilled by ber immersion she uied in about two hours ulter being taken from tho water. The body of Benjamin was re- covered late on Monday afternoon, Coroner Skinner, of Greenport, held an inquest upon the bodies yester- day morning and the Jury found a verdict of accidental death by drowning. To the case of Ida Tinker they further found that she died from neglect, they believ- jog that if proper measures had been adopted-when sho was first taken from the water her lite could avo been saved.
