GELSTON’S SUIT. The Veil of the Brooklyn Tabemacle Considerably Rent. William G. Gelston brought suit about a month ago against the Brooklyn Tabernacle through his counsel, ex-Judge Morris and Thomas A. Pearsall, to recover the sum of $1,347, which amount he alleges was borrowed from him by the defendants, The suit ‘was commenced in the City Court. The money was loaned, it is claimed by the plaintiff, to pay the salary of the pastor, Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, at a time when Mr. Gelston was a member of the Board of Trustees of that church. In their reply to the com- plaint the defendants allege that on February 17, when subscriptions were made to pay off the debt of the Tabernacle, Mr. Gelston subscribed $1,000, which they should be accredited with, as it had not since been paid by the plaintiff. To this counter claim on the part of the Tabernacle a lengthy and remarkablo Quswer was yesterday filed by Mossrs. Morris and Pearsall in behalf of their client.

T. DeWitt Talmage, the Re tor of the defendants, was present, and requested Mr. Kimball to solicit subscriptions from said con .gation for the alleged purpose of raising a sufficient ‘sum of money to pay oif the entire indebtedness of Mefendants; that the said Rev. T. DeWitt Talamge, without the knowledge of the trustees of the defend- ents, or either of them, and for the purpose of mis- leading said Mr, Kimball and the co: tion then and there assembled, represented to said Mr. Kimball that the total indebt ess then owing by the de- fendants was but the sum of $69,500 in addition to a contingent liability which might becom® due upon the old church property of $3,000; that the said Mr. Kimbull, believing the representa- tions so made to him by said Rev.

T, DeWitt cage. that no sub- scription made by any person should be binding un- Jess the whole amount of indebtedness then owing by defendants was raised, and that all subscriptions should be paid within six months from February:17, 1878, without interest. Upon the terms and condi- tions above set forth the said Mr. Kimball then asked said congregation for subscriptions. ‘THE PLAINTIFY'’S PLAINT. Third—Plaintiff alleges, upon information and be- Nef, that thereupon Henry 8. Elmore, a member of said Cary pee prepared a written subscription and signed his name. t! to, stating that he sub- seribed the sum of $5,000 for the purpose aforesaid, upon the following conditions, vis.:--$2,000 oc said amount to be paid within one year from the date thereof, $2,000 within two years trom the date thereof and $1,000 within three years from the date thereof, and handed the same to Rey, T. DeWitt Talm: who was then upon the platform near said Mr, that the said Rev. 7. ‘Talmage concealed the fact that the said subscription had been made by said Elmore upon the conditions above set forth, and simply stated to the congregation that seid Elmore had subscribed the sum of $5,000, by which statement led to believe and this plaintiff was falsely did lieve that said subscription was bona fide terms be ate moi made upon the and conditions hereinbefore stated; that upon other subscriptions being solicited for the purpose afore- said it was announced from the platform, in presence of suid congregation wnd this , that Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage subscribed $5,000, the Sunday school $5,000 and other subscriptions of various amounts were also announced; that the plaintiff, being de- ceived by the suppreasion of the fucts hereinbefore and hereinafter stated, and believing that the sub- scriptions so announced as aforesaid were honest and bona fide subscriptions toward paying off the entire debt of the defen: ts, and had been made upon the condition that the whole amount of the indevtedness skould be raised and paid within six mouths, ver- bally promised to pay $1,000 upon the (erms and con- ditions upon Which said subscriptions were solicited. But this plaintiff denies that said promise so made as aforesaid is binding upon him eit in law or by tho precepts of morality. ‘Was IT BONA FIDE? Fourth—And this plaintiff, upon information and beliet, further alleges that the subscription aforesaid of $5,000 made by the Rey. T. DeWitt Talmage was not a bond fide subscription made upon the terms and conditions aforesaid, but that the same was made upon the ment and understanding between the said Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage and certain officers of said defendant that the subscription made by said Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage should not be within six months, but the same should be by him in five years, in yearly payments of $1,000 each, the said yearly payments of $1,000 cach to be deducted from the ‘salary of said Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage as pastor ot the defendants. Fifih—That thereafter, as plaintiff 1s informed and Delieves, and so allege scheme was entered into by aud between said Kev. T. DeWitt Talmage and cer- tain officers of defendants by which the said Talmage was to be relieved from paying any portion of said subscription, which scheme was suecesstully carried out by formally increasing the salary of said Rev, T. DeWitt ‘Talmage $5,000. Sirth—That at time the aforesaid subscriptions ‘were announced t@ the said conyregation in presence of this plaintitY the conditions above stated were concealed from the congregation for the purpose of inducing this plaintiff aud others to subscribe to indebtedness, and this plaintiiT was misled and deceived thereby at the time he promised to con- tribute toward liquidating said debt.

De — ‘almage, for t urpore of further deceiving sai congregation, engreod the Rev. B. I. Ives, on the 26th flay of May last, to solicit further subscriptions from said congregation for the purpose of paying off the debt aforesaid, and represented to said Ives that the total debt of the defendants wos the sum of $70,000, and that $50,000 of said debt had been subscribed and provided for, leaving a balance of $20,000 to be raised; that said B, I. Ives, believing said ta~ tions to be true, and in pursuance thereof then and there stated to said con mm that the total debt of defendants was 70,000, that $50,000 had been subscribed and pro- thero was wanting only out the entire indebtedness of congregation thet all the subscriptions taken thus far toward the $70,000 debt had been taken or given the entire amount should be raised, and no vdge was binding unless the last dollar of the entire debt is pledged; that the entire amount needed was $20,000; that the time in which the subscriptions of oyer $50,000 already made expired in August, and in order to prevent the loss of the subscriptions already made, solicited subscrip- Hons to ae the, balance di 000; that thereu; certain of the defendants, for the purpese of inducing meinbers of said congregation and others to subscribe toward the ment of said debt, announced that the following subscriptions had been made, to witi—The Infant class, $500; Advance Guard Bible class, $1,000; Mr. Hall's Bible claws, £500; Harblin’s Bible class, $1,009; infant clase, 8600; Mr, Uaniblin’s Bible class, $1,000; intent clas Colin's clasé, $500; infant class, $509 class, $500; intant class, $500; Lay College Lil Bociety, $100; that the amounts above set fo! and ig to be subscriptions toward the pay- iaaot inndeb’ P pOrny mm NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1878-~TRIPLE SHEET, sisting of infants and others of no pecuniary respon- sibility or legal liability whatever, and that said sub- scriptions were not legal nor binding and could not be collected, wnd that the suid Rev. T. De Witt Talmage and others, officers of the defendant, who were know- ingly deceiving the congregation, were well aware of thet fact when they allowed said pretended subserip- tions to be publicly announeed; that many persons being deceived by the announcement so made as afore- said of these illegal and bogus subscriptions were in- duced to, and did, subscribe various amounts for the purpose aforesaid, PLAIN TALK. Eighth—And the plaintiff further alleges that the statements so wnade to said congregation us aforesaid, to wit:—That the total debt of the defendant was the sum of $70,000—and that $50,000 thereof had been subseribed, leaving a balance of only $20,000 to be provided for—were untrue, and so known to be at that time, by the said Rev. 'T, DeWitt Talmage and others, officers of said defendants, and that said state- ments were made for the purpose and with the in- tent of deceiving said congregation, and many were deceived by said false statements, and indueed thereby to subscribe and did subscribe toward the payment of said debt, Ninth.—Plaintiff further alleges, on information and belief,ghat at the time it was announced that $50,000 of ‘btedness had been provided tor the bond ide subscriptions toward said debt did not exceea the sum of $15,000, and the total indebtedness of the defendants at that time exceeded $85,000, THAT “JUBILEE” MEETING. Tenth—And the plaintiff farther alieges upon in- formation and belief that for the purpose of further deceiving said congregation, of whom plaintiff had been a member, the Rev. T. De Witt Talmage and others, officers of said defendants, caused a “jnbilec” mecting to be held in the Tabernacle,” on or about the 29th day of May, 1878, for the purpose of rejoic- ing over the payment of a debt that had not been paid nd exulting in a free church overburdened with debt, at which mock “jubilee” meeting the said Rev, T. De Witt Talmage, A. W. Tenny, John Winslow, Dr. Jef- frey, Rey. Dr. Lymaa aud other distinguished clergy- men and citizens were present, and at said “jubilee” meeting the said Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, for the purpose and with the intent aforesaid, untruly stated that the entire debt of defendants had been paid, and that the same ws ‘sunk in the inidst of the sea.” Thata number of distinguished ‘sons present, being misled as to the facts, un- Enowingly gave ‘the weight of thetr influence in std of the deception that was being practised upon said congregation and the plaintiff. ‘The said A. W. Tenny said:—“As a citizen ot Brooklyn, Iam rejoiced to be here. The payment of adebt of $72,000in three months isan achievement worthy of all praise. It is something of which the Church may well be proud. Iam glad that you have paid your debt.” Dr. Jeffrey said:—"‘L congratulate you that you have Raid off your debt.” Rey. Dr. Lyman said:—yYou have buried your debt from your church — wall: it was a splendid offering.” John Winslow said:—‘“If Brook- lyn can be proud of a tabernacle in debt how can sho lorify high heaven for a tabernacle out of debt.” at at the very time this mock ‘‘jubileo”’ meeting was held in the Tabernacle there were two yalid and subsisting mortgages upon the very build- ing in which this scene was being enacted—one for $35,000, recorded in Kings county Register’s office in Liber 1,172 of mortgages, page 501, and one for $21,000, recorded in said office in Liber 1,280 of mort- ages, page 508, besides other indebtedness, amount- ing altogether to upward of $85,000. UNPAW DEBTS. Eleventh—That the defendants thereafter and on or about the — day of September last, sold and disposed of ceYtain property belonging to it, consisting of the old church property, and used the proceeds thereof toward paying off a portion of the indebtedness of defendant, and this plaintiff alleges, on information and belief, that there are now due and unpaid debts owing by the defendant to various persons and cor- porations exceeding the sum of $63,000. Twelfth—Plaintiff, turther replying toso much of the answer of the defendants, alleging or pretending to allege a counter claim herein, denies each and every allegation therein contained, erefore plaintiff demands judgment against de- fendants as demanded in the complaint. MORRIS & PEARSALL, Attorneys for Plsintiff. City of Brooklyn, County of Kings, ss.:—William J. Gelston being duly sworn, says he ‘is the plaintiff in this action, that the foregoing reply is true of his own know! except as to the matters therein stated to be on information and belief, and as to those inatters he believes it to be true.

Law- rence F, Touer, late of the Star of the Sea Church, Brooklyn, is at present in temporary charge of the latter parish. A TBAGICAL FARCE, FIVE IN A FREE FIGHT—ONE PISTOL SHOT FIRED AND A MAN ALMOST SCARED TO DEATH. “T'was dusk on Thursday evening and people were hurrying past Jefferson Market along Sixth avenue from their work when five young men stood wrang- ling on the southeast corner of that thoroughfare and ‘Tenth street, The cause of the dispute was a woman, of course, and her name was bandied from lip to lip, now bitterly and then contemptuously. A few of the passers-by halted to note the progress and result of the wordy war. The contestants stood close together and their voices grew louder and threatening. All at once ‘one of the five ut tered a savage curse and ‘struck another in the face, felling him like an ox. He had no sooner touched the sidewalk than the four began to kick and stamp him most brutally. He managed to get in an upright position again and then another of the five was knocked down and assailed in a similar manner by the recent sufferer and the three still unhurt, The way in which these four kicked and jumped upon the prostrate wretch terrified the working girls and bystanders, but no one dared to interpose im the fallen man’s behalf. Suddenly he rose on one knee, extended his right arm, there was a sharp report, and one of his four assailants staggered, shrieked “I'm gone!” and the shooter was master of the situation. ‘The three uninjured fighters flew to the assistance of the man who had been struck by the bullet and the spectators, overcome by that horror which always thrills those who witness any terrible trag- edy, stirred neither hand nor foot to prevent the as- sassin’s escape. He fled with the s«poed of terror from the spot and was out of sight ere any one had recovered safticient presence of mind to pursue him, ‘The chase once begun, however, dozens jomned init and the presumably mortally wounded man was taken in a fainting and limp condition into an adjoining store. ‘There was a frightful commotion. Court. messenger McEvoy, who saw the man fall, dashed off as fast as he could for an ambulance and medical aid. A moment or two later, while the man who had becn hit was reclining ina’ chair undergoing the tender ministrations of his friends ahd sympathetic by- standers, City Marshal Clark and Special Deouty, Sheriff Sayers returned with two men—one named “Chris,” of Houston street, and a tall follow known as “Nimey”’—to the place where he reclined. They were both egy as having taken some ‘s the affray and fied when the shot was But the victiin said that neither of them had fired at him. ‘The prado pr had escaped and his name could uot be obtained. ‘Then followed the careful stripping of the victim, As his outer and inner coats and vest wero removed the faces of the bystanders grew pallid with expecta. fiom, Still there were ho treves of gore on tus finan. Then « breath of relict was drawn all sround and the clothes were exemined. It was found that the ball had perforated the two coats and was checked by aleather pocketbook in one of the breast pockets of the vest, and that the man himself was seared, not hurt. Pity and anxicty gave place to laughter and jest and the crowd dispersed. A policeman appeared after the row was over. THE PRISONERS’ FEUD. “fome years ago Celestine Gerisse, a French resi- dent of No. 127 Macdongal street, was malcted of $3,500 by a couple of Italian confidence operators. Last wock Superintendent Walling received a letter from Dominico Thomatus, a prisoner in Auburn State Prison, informing him that the person who did 80 was Joseph Barduro, and that le would be released on acertain day this week. Accordingly, Detective Van Gerichten, of the Central office, went to Auburn with Gerisse, and as Darduro stepped out of prison # free man_ arrested him and yesterday brought him before Judge Otter- bourg, at Jefferson Market Police Court, Gerisse was unable to identify him, and Barduro related that he and Thomatus had been sent to Auburn for five and quarelled while there. He (Barduro) wrote toa lady on Staten [sland that Thomatus had robbed her place, and the latter, finding thie out, wrote the letter mentioned above to Superintendent Walling. Thomatus will be free to-day, but a detective awaits hit at the prison gate, The men will be confronted | with each other. Sgt oi RELIGIOUS INSANITY. George Yourly, a carpenter, aged forty yoars, was found by an officer of the Fourth precinct police, Brooklyn, yesterday, addressing an assemblage on Bushwick avenue, proclaiming that he was divinely commissioned to preach the Word of God. When taken to the Ninth precinct station louse he stated that he was a meuber of Rov. John LH.

THE BOARD OF REVIEW OF THE NATIONAL ASSO- CIATION—DECISIONS IN EXECUTIVE SESSION. During the executive session of the Board of Re- view of the National Trotting Association, held on Thursday night, several decisions of an interesting character were reached at a late hour and announced yesterday morning by Secretary Vail:— FRAUDULENT ENTRY. No. 778, Era ©, Williams, Muncie, Ind. (ex parte).— ‘This is a case of long standing, Williams first appear- ing before the Bos to ask the removal of the - alty of expulsion imposed by an association in ington, Ky., for pai hog in a fraudulent entry. The Board granted him temporary reinstatement upon his own showing, since which time the associa- tion has remonstrated, holding that the reinsta ment should not be continued unless Williams stored certain money which he fraudulently carried oft. The Board, appreciating the force of the remon- strance, ordered the expulsion revived and the case to be continued until the May meeting of the Board for further action. PREMIUM WITHHELD, * No, 848, William E. Weeks, New York, vs. Prospect Park Association (Atwood & Co, lessees)—Complaint and application for an order.—Weeks won a race at one of the late meet 3 as above, and Atwood re- tained the premium, offering as a defence that ho was investigating the eligibility of the entry. The Board ordered that the premium in controversy be depos- ited with the Treasurer of the National Association pending investigation, as under the rules he is the proper custodian of all moneys in dispute, and that the case be continued for further action. DISTANCING THE FIELD, No, 850. ©. L. stailoy, Midway, Ky., vs. Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders’ Association, Lexington, Ky.—Claim and application tor au orler.—In a five- ar-old race on the above track, the premiums being 350, $100, $50, one of the published conditions was that w horse distancing the field should receive first money only. ‘The colt Aldine, owned by Mr. Railey, won the race, taking the first, second and fourth heats. Romance was winner of the third heat, in which Allie East was distanced. Mr. Railey claimed third as well as first money, which the agsociation re- fused, The Board held that the conditjon published by the association did not meet this case, as the field ‘was not distanced, and conditions of this nature can- not be stretched to accommodate any interest. The association must pay third money to the applicant. PERDGING A TROTTER, No, 836. Adrian Driving Park (limited), Adrian, , va. W. 8. McLaughlin, Detroit, Mich., and the mare Hattie—Application for an order.—The Board confirmed an old suspension on record against McLaughlin, and in the present case the evidence ex- hibited that he had turned the mare Hattie over to the Adrian Park as security for his dues, including the entrance fee. After competing in the race with the mare thus pledged, without winning, McLaughin removed her without consent, and failed to pey his dues, The Board ordered that McLaughlin and the mare be suspended until the demand of the associa- tion shall be satisfied. INES IMPOSED. No. 888. TT. J. Vail, secretary, Hartford, Conn. Atwood & Co., lessees Prospect Park, and Will McMahon, Parkville, N. Y.—Complaint and applica- tion for an order,—In this case it appears that At- wood gave McMahon # receipt declaring that he had deposited money with him to cover the claim of an- other member of the National Association, which re- ceipt McMahon exhibited and used as evidence that he thus provided for dues, for the non-payment of which he had previously been suspended. When the demand was made to send the money to tho office of tho National Asso- ciation for administration both Atwood and McMa- hon fatled to comply. Atwood, in his explanation, said that he did not receive any money from Mc’ hon, having only promised to pay the olddues, which showed the receipt to be a fraud. For this deception and disregard of the rules the Board imposed a fine of $50 on each and ordered them to be suspended until payment of the same. ‘THE OLD DRIVER OF SMALL HOPES. No. 905, William Mc@uigan, Jr., Detroit, Mich. (ex arte).—This case revives the old Small Hopes scan- Fal, and in answer to the petition of McGuigan (pub- lished in Friday’s Heranp) the Board ruled as fol- lows:—That if Mr. McGuigan shall lodge with the President of the Board a petition supported by suit- able recommendations from of parks and turfmen, in localities where his bape ree saree occurred, such agin the judgment of the ident merit attention, he, the President, is authorized to grant. temporary reinstatement to the spplicant until the May meeting of this Board, \ COLONEL DAWES’ ABCORD. No. 903. Utica Park Association, Utica, N. Y. (ex parte/—Applicat for an order upon the facts sub- mitted.—This case, briefly reported in the Hrrarp of Friday, is again alinded to, in order that the ruling of the Board regarding # record of the bay gelding Colonel Dawes be clearly ‘anderstood. In the “thirty” race trotted at Utica, August 15 last, Colonel Dawes won the fifth heat, the time being afnounced as 2:24, which was afterward changed by the judges and association to 2:25. Upon inquiry the Board found that the official time of the fifth heat was taken by Mr. A. M. Osgood, one of the judges of the race, who testified that the time upon his watch was | 2:243¢; but semuping $e allow the horse tho benefit of some alleged doubt regarding the precise accuracy of the time, they announced it to be 2:25 in the change that was made. The Board held that such allowance was not permissible under the rules, and that the time of the heat was 2:24%, and the record must be corrected to conform thereto. ‘THMPORARY REINSTATEMENTS CONTINUED, Before adjournment the Board ordered that in any cases continued or referred to the special committee, wherein temporary reinstatements had been granted, that such temporary reinstatements shall continue until the May meeting at Chicago. HORSE NOTES, The foals dropped at Mr. M. H. Sanford’s Preakness Stud Farm, near Lexington, Ky., during the past sea son numbered forty-nine in all, five of which died or were premature births. Of the forty-four living foals there are twenty-six colts and eighteen fillies. Virgil is credited with fourteen, imp. Glenelg with fourtcen, King Lear with eight, Monarchist with seven and Bay- wood with one. With one or two exceptions the yearlings are a choice lot and doing well. The State Grange of Alabama has made a liberal provision for a series of running and trott! con- tests to come off ut the spp ing fair at Mobile, and much sport is anticipated therefrom. Captain William Cottrill is on hapd with Aunt Betsey, Buck- shot, Buck Leo and seven two-year-olds, besides a number of yearlings and weanlings for the competi- tive exhibition. Mr. N. B. Cheatham is also on the grounds with Bonnie Itavka, Limber, Iradell and Waverley. W. & A. Lakeland have Little Reb and Andy Woodstock; Mr. Martin hes Bill Link and All Over; Mr. James Caldwell has Silvermaid, and other parties are on hand with some thirty head of trot- ting stock. The prospect of a successful meeting is good, and the grangers will find this year a consider- able addition to the debit side of the profit and loss account, One-half interest in 269 acres (‘Bosque Bonita’), the home of General Buford, Woodford county, Ky., on the Versailles and Medway turnpike, was sold by Master Commissioner R.

After being offered for $1,000 in the summer, he was worked a little, and when there had been a good move got out of him, the price was at once advanced to $1,500, ‘The signs of the times indicate that Toronto will have a first class jockey club ready for operation for 1879. It is gronoved to form a joint stock company and eecure Woodbine Park for a term of years at ® reasonable rental. The shares have been ‘placed at £100 each and the lability of each sharehokler will be limited to that amount. Already about one-third of the stock has been spoken for, and no effort at so- licitation has beon mado, From this it will be seen the accomplishment of the scheme appears to be of epeedy completion. Aiceidl HE PRIZE RING. DWYER ACCEPTS THE CHALLENGE JAMES ELLIOTT. John J. Dwyer has caused to be published in the Brooklyn local papers a card accepting the challenge of Janes Elliott, of that city, to fight him for $2,000, He says:—‘‘As the public are well aware, I haye on several occasions boen ready to try my skill and en- durance with men of known science, but in each caso when a match has been made it has fallen through> and always for reasons which never eman from mo. Now, I hereby accept Mr. Elliott's chaflenge, because I do not care to disappoint the many friends TON” 3. or who have #o often shown their confidence in me, and neither do I desire to have it said that I am afraid to mect Mr. Elliott. The conditions on which I accept this challenge are these :—That the match be made for $1,000 a side and the championship and the stake money be left open for as much more as Mr. Elliott and T om pies upon. On these conditions, then, I willcover Mr. Elliott’ money at the Clipper office to-morrow (Saturday), De- comber 7, and will meet him there on Monday, at one o'clock, I desire this to be distinctly understood, further, that whether I win or lose in this contest with Mr, Elliott, under no circumstances will I allow myself to be induced to euter the ring again.” Mr. Dwyer stated to a reporter yesterday that he would be done with the orig Le rg as soon us the fight with Elliott was over. He ssid he knew Elliott to be 1 man and one that herbors no mean points avout him. Ho was setiafied that he could depend on what he said. PEDESTRIANISM.

A NEW BICYCLE CLUB, {From the San Francisco Call, Nov. 29.) The bicycle mect yesterday morning proved a com- plete success. Owing to the late arrival of some of the bicyclists @ start was’ not effected until half-past eight o'clock, A new rider, with a magnificent fitty- six-inch machine, turned up quite unexpectedly, thus swelling the company to ten in number, and the whole party rode leisurely along, now in twos, now in threes and now in a body, making a very pretty sight with their bright wheels flashing in the sun. At the hill beyond the half-mile track some of the riders but slightly experienced in road-riding dismounted, but the mein body kept straight on over the long grade withont resting, and the Oliff House was reached by the advance couple in thirty minutes from the time of starting. The “bicyclists” had pre. viously decided that no fast riding show be attempted, and a very eas: was, therefore, adopted, the time made being nothing to what the machines are capable of doing. ‘Two of the riders turned round at the top of the hill and wentdirectly back without descending to the Cliff, aud two more tollowed soon after. The remainder of the company amtised themselves for over an hour, two trying @ ride on the beach, two, who had not suf- ficiently attended before starting to-the wants of the inner man, partaking of breakfast, and the rest watching ‘the seals and the riders on the beach. This bei the first meet of the byeiclists im this city, just before starting on the return trip an informal council was held, the, riders present agreeing to join themselvos together under the name of the San Francigeo Bicycle Club. It wos resolved that, as the club is at present a small one, it would be better to dispense with ail super- fluous formalities until more members were obtained, all the officers necessary just now being @ secretary to give notice of in’ meets and @ captain to drill the club when onarun, These were therefore chosen, and the party then adjourned without dela; forarun home. The return trip was made in time, and the riders se] od for their several destina- tions, all wine genom psa with the meet which bad off 0 ‘ally without accident of any kind to mar the day’s enjoym: Numerous horses: ere met and on the , but notone paid iy ular attention to the machines, all be- having a8 if bicycles were met on every day, SPORTING EVENTS ABROAD.

SHATTERED, HOPES. A MAID OF FORTY CHARGES A MAN OF FIFTY WITH BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE— THE PLAINTIFF'S AFFIDAVIT. In the Essex County (N. J.) Cireuit Court yesterday, at Newark, the preliminary steps were taken in a suit for breach of promise of marriage, the alleged facts of which form # very singular story, The plain- tiff is Miss Anna Horwath, who has reached the ripe age of forty and resides at No. 195 Bruce street, Newark. The defendant is Mr. John Beisinger, of No. 73 William sireet, who has long been employed as foreman in Peddie's trunk factory, is vice president of the Germay Hospital Association, is a prominent German Free Mason, and is, or was until recently, possessed of property worth about $20,000. He is about fifty years of age. Mixs Horwath, who is also # Gorman, and has lived as 4 domestic for many years with a family on Park street, lays her damages at $10,000, MISS HORWATH'S STORY. From the plaintiff's affidavit and the statements made by her counsel, Mr, Samuel Kaliach, to the Court, it appears thaf Mr. Beisinger and Miss Horwath became acquainted before his wife died and when she was on her dying bed. Miss Horwath states that he made advances to her then, which sho repelled, saying that she could not receive visits trom him while his wife was still alive. Lhe wife died and was buried. Soon after, as the plaintiff alieges, Beisinger began to call stoadlly on her, and “professed the highest esteem and affection for her.’ On June 2%, 1878, he called and declared, she_ testifies, that he was tired living alone, and that she must now be satisfied that he desired to marry her. She says she asked him it he was sure he had seen enough of her to satisty himeelf that she would make him a good wite, and he replied he had; that he was satisfied from what he had seen of her that she would make a good and faithful wife. His wife had made him promise on her dying bed that he would remain sin- gle a year. “Therefore,” said John, as Anne alleges, “one year from to-day you shall be my wite.”” ‘THE OLD sTORY. From this, she continues, she was “enthused with great confidence in the said Beisinger and in the sin- cerity of his promises of love and affection.” Subse- quently he said he had made up his mind to marry sooner—that a year was too long to wait. Still later, she alleges, he prevailed on her, by assurances that she was then to him the same as married, to submit to his embraces. On the 15th of September he called on her, she avers, and said he had neluded not to marry her because he was Free Mason (be had been Worshipful Mas- a German Masonic lodge in Newark), and his Order forbade him marrying with a Catholic, she being one. She asked why he did not mention that before and why he had taken advantage of her. His reply was, she alleges, that he had found some oue that suited him better. Then she instituted a suit for breach of promise of marriage against him, laying damages at $5,000, At the inception of the suit, however, as she alleges, he called oy her and begged her to discontinue it, saying that the Free Mason story was simply a joke aud that he certainly intended to keep his promise and marry her. At first she says she matuaeks but finally, upon his giving her a promise in writing, she instructed her counsel to stay proceedings. The promise which oe alleges he gave her, written in German, ran as follows :— NEWARK, 25th Sept., 1872, I promise hereby that as soon us my year of mourning is pasrel Lwill merry son, JOMN BEISINGER “(HE MARRIED ANOTHER.” Beisinger renewed his visits and the intimate rela- tions he had established with Anna, as she allegos, visiting her almoxt daily until October 30, when he again said the marriage could not take place. The doctors, he said, had advised him that it wae danger- ous for him to marry; that to do so would send him to an untimely grave. He juested, she says in her affidavit, that she would re- turn him the paper above quoted, but she refused, She wrote a letter to him offering to go with him to a doctor and if the latter saidin her presence that he ought not to get married she would release him. He declined the pro} ition, she says, but offered her $500 if she would release him and she refused it. It was not his money that she wanted, she said. Finally, she avers, he married a midwife named Lizzie King, on November9 last, and is now living with her at No. 73 William strect, Newark. Hence the suit. Miss Horwath says that she is determined this time to press the matter before the Court. It is stated by her counsel that Beisinger recently, but ‘ior to his marriage to her, transferred to Miss King (now Mrs. Beisinger) eleven building lots and passed to his daughter the balance of his property. STEAM HEATING SCHEMES. At yesterday's meeting of the Board of Aldermen Mr. Morris offered the following resolution :— Resolved, That the Counsol to the Cogporation be and is hereby requested to inform this Board if, In his opinton, the resolution passed at the last meeting permitting F. B. Spin- ola nnd his associates to lay pipes in she streets of this city, under such condisions, restrictions and regulations as may: be determined upon by the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, is logal, and if it js oompotent for the Common cil to delegate the power therein granted to the said Com- missionors to them, or any Board or Commission of the city government. THis resolution was lost, the democratic members being opposed to it. In connection with the same subject Alderman Pinckney presented an ordinance “to regulate the laying of mains and pipes in the streets, avenues and public places of the city of New York for heating buildings and other purposes.” This ordinance gives to the Commissioner of Public Works authority to issue to any corporation, person or persons who may apply therefor —_ to lay pipes and mains for heating stores, ries, a ings, churches or other structures, For every such permit the Commissioner is to be paid a certain amount of money to be after- ward determined and to be regulated according to the number of lineal feet of the mains or pipes to be Ind. ‘This money is to go into the city treasury. Before these permits are issued the Commissioner is authorized to pues upon and approve of the dimension of the pipes and of the apparatus and appliances pro) to be used, and have general supervising control of the whole business. Bonds sre to be given by the per- sons or corporation doing such work that the pave- ments disturbed shall be fully restored, and also to protect the city against any suits arising out of ex- plosions or other accidents. ‘The ordinance was laid over in order to be printed SADLY DESTITUTE.
