THE SMITH MURDER. Important Evidence Given by the Dead Officer’s Sister-in-Law. QUARRELS BETWEEN MAN AND WIFE, Dr. Case Testifies that He Noticed a Smell of Chloroform. ‘The attendance at the Hudson County Court House, Jorsey City, yesterday, at the trial of Mrs. Jennie R. Smith and her alleged paramour, Covert D. Bennett, for the murder of the former's husband, Police Ofi- cer Richard H, Smith, wos even larger than on the previous day, the aisles being crowded entirely up to the bar enclosure and the galleries jammed, There ‘was much larger attendance of ladies than on tho previous day, and many were very fashionably at- tired. A number had provided themselves with opera glasses and as the trial procecded the glasses were continually pointed in the direction of the pretty defendant who is charged with assisting in her husband’s murder. The prisoners were led through the crowded aisles by Under Sheriffs Foley and Peel and placed by the side of their counsel. Bennett sat near Judge Hoff- mann and kept his eyes on the jury, looking occa- sionally at the witnesses and biting his nails almost continually, Mrs. Smith looked as pale as on the preceding day and watched the jurors intently. She newr removed her long black veil, and during the testimony of Dr. Case she showed the first signs of breaking down by crying bitterly. She placed a hand- kerchief over‘her eyes, and, bowing her head, wept until the Doctor had left the stand. As her husband’s sister-in-law gave her testimony she kept ‘her eyes upon her and frequently her faco assumed a con- temptuous expression, After her first cry in the morning she remained as impassivo as ever and gave no signs of emotion during the remainder of the day. DR, CASE’S EVIDENCE. Dr. Charles H. Case testified that he resides in Jersey City and has practised medicine for thirteen years; he saw thé officer's body lyffig there covered by a quilt and the head with a pillow; the feet pro- tended from beneath the quilt; he removed the pil- low from the officer's head, and feeling his pulse and finding he was dead he returned to the front room and said to those present that he was dead; Mrs. Bmith said, “Oh, is he dead?” the body was not cold; he found three incised wounds in the region of the heart and two on the head. (Here Mrs. Smith began to ery and continued sobbing until the wit- ness left the stand.) The witness continued:—There were stab wounds near the heart; a quilt was shown, and the witness said that the quilt covering the body appeared to be darker than the one shown; the light was dim until ‘Mr. McGregor procured another lamp; the witness examined the body to find whether he was breathing, and afterward felt the body to learn whether it was cold; the wounds on the head had broken the scalp on the left side; the officer's hair was very thick, and witness did not see the wounds until he felt the bead; after examining the body he looked at the clock and it pointed twenty-five minutes to five; he no- ticed an odor of chloroform in the front room but not in the bedroom; the odor was not strong; there were blood stains on the bed and floor and closet door at the head of the bed; there was no blood on the side of the room or on the east side of the bed; there was a sheet on the unoccupied side of the bed; he noticed no blood on it; the officer had a shirt on and the wounds were cut through the shirt; he ex- amined the premises and found the windows in the front room unlocked; he saw no dog about the remises, and noticed nothing peculiar about Mrs. inith;. Captain Lennon sho: witness an ounce hial two-thirds full and asked if it was chloroform; Be saia it was chloroform; he could not tell from his examination how long Smith had been dead. .The witness was cross-examined by Senator Win- Geld, but counsel clicited nothing new. WHAT A SISTER-IN-LAW NOTICED. Mrs, Hattie Smith, a sister-in-law of the murdered officer, was next sworn and during her testimony the ‘widow watched her almost savagely. She testified :— I reside at No. 145 Summit avenue, Jerse City Heights; on the morning of August 1, last she went to the house of Jennie Smith, at No. 133 Pacific avenue; Mrs, Mai Smith, my sister-in-law, accompanied me; I ask Jounie it she had any idea of who had committed the murder, and she answered no; I asked her if she ever heard anything that would lead her to suspect any one and she seid, “Harry had lots of enemies;” I asked her how she could have failed to see or hear anything at the time of the murder and she told mo that she awoke and tound a man in the room, who cap and carried a white cloth in his ; then she tasted something sweet in her mouth and she fell asleep; she said the man was tall and slim, like Mr. Robert Kerr or Mr. Storrs; Lasked her whether Harry was herby of any one and she told ‘es, he was jealous of Mr. Stein and Charley T asked her if he was not jealous ot Mr. Ben- “Do not ask me that,” and added, “Everybody is asking about Mr. Bennett, and I don't know why; he was always very kind to me and Har was always very cross to him;” I asked if sho had seen him lately and shi replied, “Well, not a great wiile ago: she said no more until she heard the men in the other room, when she asked, ‘What is that noise?” Itoid her that they were onine Harry away; she Dogan to cry avd asked, “Oh, will they take me?” I said “No,” and she stopped crying; she remained lying quiet until thejury came up, and then she went to the window and said, ‘Hattie, do you know any of the jury?” THE CAPTAIN'S WHISKERS, a said that I didn’t hey = look ea ea can she knew two—Birdsall, the nter, Captain Lennon; she said, ‘Hasn't Ci Rrn Ay Lennon splendid side whiskers? don’t you think he is pretty, tie?” Mrs. Sinith st this began to smile in a sarcastic way, and the audience, noticing it, laughed also. Witness continued—I told her that I did not know any of tho police and said that I supposed she knew them all; she replied, “No, rest are all Dutchmen and I don’t know them;” then she smiled and dropped the curtain; she asked me what they were qoing to do with Harry and I said they would prob- ably take him to the Alderman's house; she then said to me, “Hattie, I want to go to the bureau,” and Tsaid, «Wait Cosham see Mr. McHorney ;" I called In the detectiveand he said he would go to the burean with her; she said to him, “Have I got to be dogged around like this?” and he said, “Jennie, you certainly have while you are in oy eee she started to go into the bedroom and I took hold of her arm to sw port her, think! that at the sight of the body ake ie Was calin and ps as i body and I began to cry; she walked the T pareaa and — began loki over some slips she toward ot peer: afterward turned the parlor door, and I said, ‘Jennie, on which door is the blood?” and she said, ‘There it is,” and pulling open the closet door she showed me; an hour after that, while we were sitting in the lor, she said, ‘I wonder if I could clean aioe ,"" and MeHorney naid, ‘Certainly ;’’ she went into the kitchen aud was eweeping something out of the sink, when I asked what it was,and she said, “Oh, nothing; only tea leaves ;” aiter cleaning hor teeth she walked into the room and sat on the foot of the bed until I told her ot to sit there; then I said, “What an awful jooking bed that is,” and she said, “Yes, the mattress is entirely spoiled;” i ask if she had always acted right with , and she replied, ae near right as he Lsaygested that some one big tm wanted her, and, to get hor, killed her Hat acted with, ons of him Harry; she replied, “Why should they kill Harry to get me? 1 will never marry another; then she = a ¢an looking over Harry's clothes and felt kote; she said, “Oh!

After the Court had been adjourned the audience, to the number of nearly athousand, remained outside to catch a glimpse of the prisoners as they were taken to thejail. Under Sherifis Peel and Foley broughtthem out by a back way and the crowd aged in a dis- graceful stampede to the rear of the jail to see them, THE GOLD STREET HOMICIDE. An inquest was held yesterday at the Thirteenth precinct by Coroner Flanagan on the body of Jacob Sleight, who died Monday, at No, 113 Clinton street, of a fractured skull fro: blow of a mallet in the hands of Martin Gross, at No. 69 Gold street. Fred- erick Walsh, residing at No. 68 Middagh street, Brook- lyn, deposed that he was in the saloon at No. 69 Gold street at the time the fatal blow was struck; about half-past cleven A. M., the 10th inst., deceased came in and said to the proprietor, Gross, ‘Martin, I am going to settle the dispute between you and me; you'll kill me or I’ kill you;” deceased then took something from the counter and threw it at the prisoner; deceased was behind the bar; Gross had a mallet in his hand; deceased kicked at Gross, and then Gross struck deceased with the mallet; the lat- ter fell and was assisted to his feet by the prisoner; a doctor came in, and the injured man was conveyed in a coach to his lodgings. John Grant, the bartender, corroborated this evi- dence. John H. Sleight, son of deceased, who gave his age as twenty-five yers, said he resides at No, 111 Bank street; he was not on friendly terms with his father; the latter, on entering the saloon, was swearing and using abusive language; deceased kicked Gross in the groin, avd, while attempting to follow up the assault, Gross struck him with the mallet; witness did not interfere, as he was afraid that.deceased would attack him also. ‘The jury decided that Jacob Sleight came to his death by injuries received with a mailet in the hands of Martin Gross, and we do not justify said Gross in using the mallet. ‘The prisoner was held in bail. DESTITUTION AND DEATH. If the good things of the next life are reserved for those who receive none of them in this then George Werner and his little family will have a rich store of them to enjoy by and by. At the suggestion of a correspondent a representative of the Hxnaxp called yesterday at No. 611 West Forty-ninth street, in the rear, and on the second floor of tho tenement house he found “Poverty Corner,” But to destitution was added death also, and with it additional expense and an empty exchequer. Until yesterday morning George Werner’s family consisted of himself, wife and three children, the oldest a little girl just six years old yesterday, @ younger daughter aged three years, and a nursing babe a few months old. On Monday night the oldest child died of scarlet fever, and at four o’clock yesterday morning the second child followed with the same disease, and yet the destroyer has nt done its work. Inthe apartments adjoining Mrs. ‘Werner's, and where her babe is being temporarily cared for while she looks after the dead, thore is a child of another family sick with this fever, and in the apartments up stairs there are other cases. The women of the house say their children receive medi- cal attendance, but it is well to direct the attention of the Board of Health to the house lest the disease spread more and more, Mrs. Werner's little treasures were removed to a room on the top floor, where the preparations for the funeral, simple though they be, were made. The house is occupied by German families, who, so far as they are able, manifest deep sympathy one with an- other. The case of George Werner's family is deeply touching. He has been without employment during the fall and winter except that he does chores now and again for Mr. May, a Church strect merchant, and tries to eke out a scanty living by buying a few quarts of milk at wholesale and selling it at retail. He was out yesterday looking for help to bury his children. His wife looked haggard and careworn, and a sorrow than tears could express was depicted on her countenance. Her apartments consisted of two small ‘rooms, and the marketable value of her household stock would not exceed. $5. And yet the poor woman did not wish to talk about her poverty and her bereave- ment. Whatever aid is rendered should be rendered promptly, and any contributions sent to this office will be forwarded, while those who reside in the vicinity will find pleasure and profit in being the al- moners of their own benevolence and bounty. THREE MORE UNFORTUNATES. There are at present at Castle Garden three female immigrants who say they wero betrayed in Europe and sent penniless to this country by their betrayers. Bridget Chrishien, in her affidavit before Superin- tendent Jackson, stated that she is nineteen years of age, and that she arrived on Sunday last, in the steam- ship City of New York, her passage having been paid by her seducer, who lives in Tuam, county Galway, Ireland, She was confined in the reception hospital, at Castle Garden, yesterday morning. Catharine Doyle, twenty-three years of age, arrived in the Germanic yesterday, and swears that she was seduced by a farmer of county Kerry, Ireland. She clainjs that her father nadie | .. to = hs hp A ewgere nag , of Regensburg, Bavaria, twenty-two years o' , arrived on abe Donte ob Fer 0, and swears tl her betreyer was the son of the man in whose family she acted as servant in Landwehr strect, Munich. She stated that his parents paid her pas- sage to this country, and that they also offered her some money, but she refused it, fearing to lose it on the voyage, They told her, she says, to write when she needed any cash, and she sent them a letter several week ago, but as yet has received no reply. The Commissioners of Emigration will send these three unfortunates back to their friends if they are willing to go. WEST BOUND FREIGHP POOL. It was stated authoritatively yesterday that no meeting of the presidents of the trunk lines to re- apportion the percentages on West bound freight was contemplated. One of the presidents said that, in his opinion, there would be no change in the per- centages, and that, even if there was, the whole mat- ter would have to be decided by Commissioner Fink, who had been appointed arbitrator. The percentage on allotment, as it stands at present, is:—Noew York Central, 33; Erie, 33; Pehnsylvania, 25, and Baltimoro and Qhio, 9. Some time ago the New York Central asked for an increase of their allot- ment to 40, and the matter was referred to Com- missioner Fink, who rted in favor of the follow- ing new allotments : York Central, 46; Erie, 31; Pennsylvania, 25, and Baltimore and Ohio, &. This report met with strong opposition, especially from Presidént Jewett, of Erie, and remonstrances were entered against the proposed allotments. The gentleman alluded to above says that full power was conferred on Coromissioner Fink to settle the ques- tion; but, rather than have dissatisfaction among tho mombers of the pool, he could state positively that the New York Central would withdraw her claim for an i allotment. BUSINESS TROUBLES. Schmidt & Curtius, stationers, have temporarily suspended, having liabilities amounting to about $25,000, of which $11,000 are for merchandise and the balance for borrowed money. Samuel B, Stewart and Louis V. D. Hardenbergh, comprising the firm of Stewart & Co., carpet dealers in Brooklyn, have made an assignment to William fon ongrerae bg tontyn was K penrgpen bed Boi of years, an fore the’ was estimat wort $200,000, Sonathau" Stowert, who was con- nected with the firm, died some time ago and his bene py oe recently demanded a setilement of tho ont ment » which is said to have caused the cmbuarrass- it of the firm. The merchandise liabilities of the firm are estimated at about $30,000, Jausuos Higgititis, John G. Higgitiris Louis C. Small, manufacturers of candy, made an assign- ment yesterday, giving @ preference for $3,000 to ‘Thomas Lynn. BRODSKY-PATTERSON CONTEST. The Assembly Committee on Vontested Seats, con. sisting of Mosars. Baker (chairman), Steele, Roberts, Young, Berry, Travers and Fiynn, met at the Metro- politan Hotel yesterday morning for the purpose of hearing witnesses in the Brodsky-Patterson case. Mr. Daniel Patterson, the Tammany nomineo, it wil be remembered, at present holds the seat for tho Eighth Assembly district of this city, Mr. Johh E. Brodsky, the anti-Tammany candidate, claims that Mr, Patterson was not lawfully elected. That gen: tleman bad a majority of seventven yotes; but it is alleged that some persons yoted for him who wero ‘not residents in the district and some who were not eitizens. Mr. Brodsky was not ready to proceed yes- terday and the committee by the heativg until to-day at eleven A, M, It is said that over seventy-five witnesses will be examined on each wide. committees will not, however, remain in | Gall the city after to-morrow, but will, if necessary, -ap- | dey point a sub-comunittce to take the testimony, VANDERBILT'S WILL CONTEST. ——- The attendance in the Surrogate’s Court when the Vanderbilt will case was called yesterday was very light, but few persons being present besides the op- posing psrties, their counsel and witnesses. The motion to compel the executors to file an inventory avas set down for argument next Friday morning at half-past ten. The argument on the order in relation to substituting other executors was set down for the 21st inst. at half-past ten A. M. After these preliminary matters had been disposed of Mr. Edwin D. Worcester, secretary of the New York Central and Lake Shore railroads, testified as to the soundness of the Commodore’s mind for some years previous to the making of the will and up to about a nonth after the codicil was signed; witness es 2 interview with the Commodore on February 2, 1874, Q. What did the Commodore say at that interview? A. He told me that by the next May he would be eighty years old and that he would then let Billy take the management of the railroads; witness also testificd to many other interviews with the Commo- dore, to the Commodore's clearness vf mind im. re- ard to business matters, as shown at the m Greisendad; one of the meetings was that of Western Union Telegraph Company, at which the urchase of Edison's quadruplex system patent was isenssed; the Commodore urged it very strongly and the measure was adopted, A recess of half an hour was here taken, and at its expiration Mr. Scott Lord took up the cross-examina- tion. He asked witness concerning a large number of interviews had with the Commodore and consul- tations on business matters, his object being to show that the Commodore generally took witness’ advice in these matters, Witness said that was not always the case, and detailed many conversftions in which the Commodore op his views and adopted measures entirely different trom those advocated by him. One of these conversations was in relation to an injune- tion that had been served upon Coumodore Vander- bilt to prevent him from making the payment of a Lake Shore divideed. The Commodore characterized the matter as a stock speculation. He thought Daniel Drew was in the plot, and said he thought the Judge who ——- the injunction was interested in the speculation, After several other unimportant questions the case was adjourned until this morning at eleven o'clock. Part 1 of the Brooklyn City Court, Judge Reynolds presiding, was crowded throughout yesterday by an interested assemblage of members of Talmage’s Tabernacle, friends of the pastor thereof, lawyers and curious people who were attracted to the second trial of the suit of ex-Treasurer Willicm J. Gelston against the Tabernacle. The trial is progressing in the same court room in which the cause of Tilton vs. Beecher was tried three years ago, and though the issues involved are of a widely dif- ferent character a morbid and attractive popular in- terest would appear to centre about the place. Even ex-Judge Morris, who was of counsel for Tilton in the latter's suit against his former pastor and friend, revives the recollection, as _ it were, by appearing in the present ‘suit for the plaintiff, Mr. Gelston, against the Church of which he was a prominent member." Rev. T. De Witt Talmage retained a seat during the day near United States Attorney Tenney and . Freemai counsel for the defence, and closely watched the pi ceedings. From time to time he shot quick glances around, and, scanning the faces of the assemblage, he recognized his friends by 4 slight inclination of the head and a broad grin, expressive of “Glad to see ou. ‘The first witness called to the stand yesterday was Nelson Hamblin, the. present treasurer of the Taber- nacle, who was cross-examined by ex-Judge Morris concerning the February “beg,” whon it was claimed by the plaintiff so many bogus subscriptions wero made toward the liquidation of the heavy debt then resting on the Tabernacle. “Is the Church now paying Mr. Talmage $12,000?” queried the Counsel. “It was left to his discretion,” was tne response. “We are not paying that amount.” In reply to ques- tions by counsel for the defence witness said that Mr, Talmage’s salary now was $7,000; that had been the amount for over three years. Cy Witness said his class, which is composed of women exclusively, whose agea range from twenty to sixty years, is called the Mispah Bible claes; of the amount subscribed by him $400 had been id; witness said that he talked the matter over wit! clas ind asked them what they would subscribe; they named the figures. Ex-Judge Morris wished to know the names of the class, whereupon the witness gave several: names and said that he asked them what they wou!d do. After they had talked the matter over Miss Alice Maher said $3,000. Another said, “Make it another $10u.” This was why the amount was $3,100. Messrs. C. C. Howell, S. H. Frankenberg, treasurer of the Sunday school; E, D, Angel, John R. Burnett, G. W. Vandolah, Charles M. Nichols, William P. Stout and Joseph F. Ric! on all testified in rela- tion to the subscriptions. The Court then adjourned until to-day. FUNERAL OF THOMAS LORD. The funeral services over the remains of the late ‘Thomas Lord took place at ten o'clock yesterday morning, at the University Place Presbyterian Church, Rev. Dr. Booth officiating. Long before the hour named for tho funeral the church began to fill with interested spectators. When the funeral cortége ar- rived the body was deposited in the chapel at the rear of the church, and simultaneously the organ played a dirge, which was chanted by the choir. The pallbearers were Thurlow Weed, Samuel B. Ruggles, Commodore C. K. Garrison, Charles O'Conor, Henry Bergh, John Bigelow, John J. Cisco, Robert B. MeCurdy, Thomas Bond and Alexander Knox. Gen- eral Dix and ex-Governor Tilden, who had been named as pallbearers, were unable to be present, The coffin bore the following inscription : Gi ereece recess reve rerccorees t006: THOMAS er DIKD FEBRUARY 8, 1879, Ace 84 YxaRs, 10 MONTH AND'20 DAYS. 3 NOOO AOE OCTE RELL EE DE DE LOTHe During the playing of the dirge the family of the deceased millionnaire entered the church, including ‘Thomas Lord. Jr., and wife; Charles Lord and wife, Frank Lord and Henry Lord, sons of the decease, and David Lord, his elder brother. Mrs. Lord was unable to be present, owing to iliness. A portion of the church was set apart for the servants ot the family, an‘l all of them, both colored and white, were present. The burial service was very simple, con- sisting only of the prescribed form of the Presby- torian Church. Suitable selections from the Scrij tures were read, hymns sung aud prayer offered. At the close of the ceremonies an by eer was afforded to view the remains. The ly Was con- veyed to Greonwood Cemetery, where the interment took place. MR. DAWSON AND HIS CLIENT. New Yorx, Feb, 11, 1879, To tne Eprror oy tux Henaip:-- In an issue of yours of recentdate you announced tho fact that the Generol Term of the Supreme Court had made an order requiring me to show cause why Ishould not be stricken trom the roll for neglecting aclient’s business and failing to pay over moneys col, lected. No such order has been werved upon me, and my object in addressing you now is to ask you to use your potent journalistic influence in the premises, to the end that if such an order has been made by the General Term and returnable to the March Term of that court, as you stated, that it be served forthwith and made returnable five days hence. Innocent men of spirit are always ready to court investigation under charges which insult their feelings and slander their honor. Every fact this client can state has already been passed upon by Judge Westbrook in an affidavit made by her, on which an order to show cause was granted and denied, simply because every fact therein alleged was orically contradicted by from three to seven unimpeachable witnesses, five of whom were known to His Honor to be reputable members of the bar, and one of whom was the referee who tricd the cause. On that occasion I had but forty-eight hours’ notice, Those forty-eight hours I devoted to the preparation ot affidavits voluminof&s enough to leave me not one moment of rest, but when tie motion was called I responded, “Ready,” as I always will respond whenever that much notice is given me of charges inculpating my fidelity to a client or my in- rity as # man, hile I cannot dieguise the fact that the announce- ment you have has cost me stings of mortifi- cation sharp and bitter, yet, it 1 shall find you as ready to annownce my vindication when that is made complete a you were to publieh a rumor about the truth or falsehood of which you knew nothing, I snall be content.

It is a con- descension I decline to make. ‘That grown up man whose knowledge of the world and sense of justice will permit him to credit a ramor and contract against me & prejudice upon it before be ot has heard my answer to it, possibly, as an enemy, may be useful to me, but ea as # friend, never Respectfully, ANDREW UW. H. DAWSON, STABBED IN A QUARREL, The police of the Tenth precinet, Brooklyn, wero notified at an early hour yesterday morning that a young man, named Walter Gallagher, was lying at his residence, No. 483 Flatbush avenue, bleeding from a stab wound in the loft shoulder, and that he would probably die, Dr. Gleavy and an officer went at once to young Gallagher's residence and tound that an artery in his shoulder bad been ent. The flow of bloud, was soon stopped, and an investigation of tho ‘case brought out the following facts :—Gallagher, William Brower, of 175 Park place, and Thomas Daly, of No, 441 Flatbueh avenue, quarrelied on Monday afternoon last over the breaking of a pane of glass at No, 446 Flatbush avenue, during which Daly stabbed her.

I refer particularly to the cosey ticket offices of the Roosevelt strect ferry. It is not unfrequently the case that five or six gatemen, deck hands, &c., congregate around the venerable receivers of chauge and listen to their good stories while @ crowd of shivering passengers aro standing ready to pay their fares. A few days ago I noticed a poor woman, with a child in her arms, shaking with cold aud patiently waiting theconclusion of a joke in five acts which was being recled off by an antiquated fare taker. If there is any head of affairs about the ferry house aforesaid will he not give heed to the long suffering public who have to travel on his jine? BROKER. POOR INVENTORS. To Tne Eprron or tHe HERALD:— I see by the Henan that Congress is about to pass a law “taxing patents.’’ Will not the Henan raise its voice in opposition to such a measure and advo- cate the passage of a law making it an offence pun- ishable by a fine and imprisonment for infringing on a patent issued by the government, and especially so after the patent has been tested in the courts and pronounced valid? Asthe law now stands an in- ventor may spend years in perfecting the most valn- able invention or improvement ever gotten up and then pay the government $35 whea a document called « patent is issued, which virtually amounts to this:—If the inventor has [ome enough money to fight infringers (‘‘sharks” who have mouey but no brains) and fee greedy lawyers, and pay innumerable little costs, then he can make some money; but if he has no money then he must live and die poor man and peradventure fill @ pauper’s grave. A POOR INVENTOR. LADDERS ON THE “'L” ROADS. To tHE Eprror or tTHr Hrraup:— ‘To be detained on the “L” roads is certainly very unpleasant, but accidents will happen everywhere and under every circumstance. Horses rin away in Central Park and people are killed; boilers on steamboats explode, and men, women and children are scalded to death ; houses fall down and bury their teuants under their ruins. All that can be done is to take all the means possible to yeduce the evil to ite simplest expression, ‘Therefore this is what I would suugest to the com- the “LL” roads:—As lifeboats are attached to . let smail ladders be attached to the cars, one to each'car, long enough to reach the ground, in case of accideut, and inade so as to be fixed with hooks to the edge of the read.

THE METROPOLITAN STRIKE, NEW HANDS DRIVEN YROM THE WORKS—THE LABORERS STUBBORNLY REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE REDUCED SCALE OF WAGES. The strike on the line of the Metropolitan “ tension continued yesterday. Forty men on the Ninth avenue line went to work again early in the morning, but some of the gangs of laborers from the Eighth avenue came down and “beat them off.” These forty men were afraid that if they continued work at the reduced rate of $1 25 per day against the will of their comrades some malicious, reckless fel- low night throw a piece of stone or rock down into the deep excavations where they were laboring. In- spector Thorne arrived later with about fifty officers from the two adjacent police precincts, and from that time order and peave prevailed. He declare} that all those who desired to return to work should do so unmolested, but the strikers evidently thougit that their enormous numerical preponder- ance—ibout one thousand three hundred strong, hardy, rough men against fifty police officers—would prevent any of their number from resuming their labor. The workmen—about one hundred and fifty in number—who do the blasting and drilling contin- ued undisturbed, Considering the greater danger of their work their rates were not cut, but were lett at the old rate of $1 50a day. WHAT THE OFFICERS SAY, Vice President José F, Navarro said, yesterday, in reference to the reduction, that the current rate of pay inthe city by many large employers was only $1 a day, while the company would still continue to ay $1 2 aday, He thought that the men yould all he glad to return to work at the retuced réte. Mr. Navarro did not anticipate any tyouble, tor he be- Koved the good sense of the laborers would keep them from committing excesses, which could only be injurious to their cause. General Manager John Baird also expressed the belief that the men would, in a day or two, quietly resume their labor, seeing, as they donbtless would, that they would not better themselves by holding ont against the reduction. WHAT THY LABORERS SAX. The laborers, in conversation with the reporter, complained that if $1 25 was to be the rate paid to them it should have commenced in the beginning of the winter and not now. Several declared emphati- cally that they contd not live on $1 25 a day, and that it cost them twenty cents in car fare to reach their place of work, which, they said, was @ material de- duction from their actual earnings. Others ad- mitted that $125 was as much as they could get anywhere in’ the city, but they claimed that the work was harder and more disagreeable, from the cold and exposed character of the entire line. The bricklayers and masons, who number abowt one hundred and fifty, and whose pay was not affected, naturally grumbled very much at being also thrown out of employment through the strike of the laborers. It was generally thought last evouing by the people along the line of the strike that the majority of the strikers would return to work before the end of the present week. In case they do not it is understood that large numbers are willing, and even.anxious, to take their places at the present re- duced rate of wages. CIGARMAKERS’ “ry UNION. OPPOSITION TO REDUCTION OF WAGES AND TO THE MANUFACTURE OF CIGARS IN TENEMENT HOUSES. A mass meeting of cigarmakers was held last even- ing in Concordia Hall, No. 28 avenue A, for the pur- pose of tuking action toward bettering their condi- tion, and especially for the object of adopting some course calculated to bring about the abolition of tho tenement house system of manufacturing cigars, which is considered detrimental to the interests of the journeymen cigarmakers. Mr. E. Mann presided and Mr. J, Schaefer, one of the committee to prepare some ideas for an organization, read a synopsis of a plan the committee bad adopted to the following effect:—The organization shall op- pose any reduction of wages and a continuation of the tenement house system. The head of the organ- jzation shall be a member of the Central Committee, and the delegates to that committee shall be elected from several meetings to be held in shops and in_ several parts of the city; every hundred cigarmakers elect one delegate to the Central Committee; this committee shall make out the tariff of weekly dues and also the figures for the benefit of such members as may be on strike against reduction; the committee shell send men to watch the shops, and in cases of impor- tance shall bring the matters in question before ail the members of the organization in several moetings for. the purpose of having a vote; the Central Committee shall elect a xpocial committee to prepare a memorial for presentation to Congress asking for a law abolishing the tenement house sys- tem of making cigars, because it is both unhealthy and demoralizing and reduces men to a condition of slavery. The same memorial shall be sent to the Legislature of the State. To make this plan success- ful cirenJars will be printed and sent to all working- men’s societies and humane people, calling on them to support the position taken by the cigarmakers. ‘There was a long discussion over the Proposea plan of remedying the evils of which the cigar- makers complain, some of tho speakers being op- posed to it on the ground that it wiped out the three existing unions of cigarmakers and created one en- tirely new organization, which it was thought wouid not be as effective as the present arrangement. Without taking final action on the plan of organiza- tion proposed the meeting adjourned to mect at an early date. MARRIAGES AND DEATHS ENGAGED. iatsoN.—Lovrs RosExpoure to Jo- No cards.
