APR THE BATTLE What the Pedestrians Have to Say About the Long Walk. —‘+--—___- THE TRACK FOR O'LEARY. sapere eerentiesmeesninence Harriman Declares that He Was Smoked Out of the Race, -__— WESTON CHALLENGES ROWELL. Ennis Will Try to Bring Back the Belt. DENOUNCED FROM THE PULPIT. The late John Morrissey’s rooms at the Ashland House, in Fourth avenue, resumed for tho first time sinco his death their wonted gayety yesterday. Once more the American champion’s headquarters were resonant with the echoes of congratulatory compli- ments, and onve more the long private parlor was bedecked with a victor’s emblems of tfiumph. The plucky littlo Briton who had just snatched the pedestrian champion belt from America’s grasp was quietly reclining on a bed in the rear room, while mumergus English and American admirers of bis onduranco were cxamining, in tho front room, the floral contributions tendered him during the long ond woary dafs and nights spent at Gilmore’s Garden. A folding @oor partially openi§l revealed a small group of mea of ‘middle age seated in a semi-circle near their friend! Two of the gentlemen wero Rowell’s physicians, and as the reporter enterod the ‘bedroom where the champion, nicely dressed in an English walking suit, was lying with his feet cle- vated on a small mound of pillows, one of those Physicians was the first to speak. “He is doing re- markably well,” said Dr. Taylor. ‘Look at his com- plexion. In fact, he never lost it at all; but see how fresh he looks.”” “ Turning to Mr. Rowell ono of the physicians threw off the rug that covered his feet, and, rubbing his hand over them, showed how smooth they were. ‘There were only one or two scars visible whero blis- ters had been before; but as to the talk of “varicose veins,” the physicians laughed heartily at tho state- ment, which had been widely published in the jour- als, and a careful examination of the young athleto ‘tailed to reveal any of the ills to which sporting flesh is apt to be heir to. “But, Mr. Rowell, why do you keep your fect at euch an clevation ?’ asked a gentleman. Mr. Rowe11—Because during the contest of th past six days the blood has settled there consid- ‘erably, and by raising them I will succeed in bring- ing the blood back to its natural circulation. “What about futuro walking; do you think you'll be able to go at'it again?” + « “Phave received a challenge for the belt already, ‘and Lintend to hold it if I can,” was the pert reply. The despatch from Sir. John Astley given below ‘was then alluded to, when a gentloman satd, “But, ‘Mr. Rowell, yourrecord at this match is not ex- ‘traordinary. Did ‘not’ O'Leary make over five hun- idred milesin England?” “Yes, he did. I don’t think mysolf that this record is so extraordinary. The real truth is that I ‘was not pushed. I can do better than that.” “How did you like the track at Gilmore's Gar- den?” : , MIt was not good either onthe ‘frst oron the second day. After it had been watered and settled Gown somewhat it became better.” “And the surroundings” “The smoke sometimes made me fcel miserable. ‘The constant putting of smoke was horrible. Often I felt like going into my cabin fora little while to ‘get out of that miserable cloud of cigar smoke.” “Are you well satisfied with the manner you havo Deen received?” Hata “I really have had a better reception here than I had anticipated.”’ And saying this the champion reminded his attendants that they had an engage ment to call on Harriman at the St. James’ Hotel, THE NIGHT AFTER THE CONTEST. While the party was making preparations to visit the Maine man the reporter ot the Henap hada long conversation with Mr. Atkinson, Mr. Simpson and Mr. Langford, of the English party. They stated that immediately after Rowell had been .brought to the Ashland House on Saturday night at ten o'clock they stripped him, rubbed him down and put him to bed, He slept till two o'clock in the morning, then woke up, moved about his room a little while, went once more to bed and slept again roundly till six o'clock yesterday morning. This time he did not move ebout long, bug was soon put to bed again and. slept till eight o'clock, He thon took some slight Tefreshment and another nap of two hours followed, which brought him to ten o’clock, when he aroso, @ressed himself and ate a very hearty breakfast. The physicians at that hour made a thorough ex- amination of the champion’s physical condition. found his pulse regular, his stomach in good coalinontns feet somewhat but not much biistered, ‘and only some parts of his boty chafed, “WESTON CHALLENGES LOWELL, Just about that time the following cable despatch ‘was handed to Mr. Rowell Well dono my boy.

This is tho challenge to which Rowell alluded when ho stated, as "tin above, that ho intended to ‘hold the belt.” After conversing with his party for ® consiterablo time as to the contents of this despatch the champion once more took to his bed, and enjoyed any number of cat naps up to two é’clock in the ernoon, when his attendants to have their hands full in disposing of numerous visitors who calied to pay their respocts to “the hero of the hour.” Among these was a young ley at @ox- ious to see the char » but bop ing told that he received isitors desired meet him at some “tutare tim &t should here bo stated that Mr. Rowell is unmarried, and that tho claims of the fair to secure tho attention of the bravo has at least not been overlooked in this instance. ROWELL’S FUTURK MOVEMENTS. After their visit to the St. James Hotel the English porty returned to tho Astiland House, Mr, Rowell ring to his apartmonts at an esrly ‘hour, ‘To-day he will dino at Mr. Francklyn’s, the agent of the Cunard line, and meet Lord Lennox, Mr. four ‘and other English gentlomon: at dinner. Mr. Atkin- foun stated last evening that Mr. Rowell would attend the Joo Goss benefit at Harry Hill's on T and sail for England on the steamer ‘Wodnesday of next week. MR. AND MRS.

Mr. Ennis then stated that he would return to Chicago about the end of tho week, well satisfied with his visit to the metropolis, but cetermined at all hezards to win the belt back, so as to retain it in this country. HARRIMAN IN EXCELLENT MEALTH. The rooms vecu, by Harriman at tho 8t.James Hotel looked like veritable tlower yardons yesterday, £0 profuse were tlie floral favors bestowed by kind friends upon the man of New England grit.” Thero was hardly acoruer in'the Maine man’s parlor but showed the deep estimation in which hoe was held by his countrymen and countrywomen during the try- ing ordeal through “which he has go luckily passed. ‘There were also other toReus of affection ard ood will aside of the floral contributions spread about the room. Notable among those were severi! horseshoes of gold and silver, one of them containing the German word “Gluck” conspicuously engraved on the upper end, showing that, thongh from New Fugland Marriman did not lack Legion ree among the Toutonic race represented in country. In fact, wherever one moved through his rooms there was to be 1ound abundant evidence that he, more than any other else, hal touched the hearts of the thousands of visitors to Gilmore’s Garden during the momentous struggle. It was, indeed, areal pleasure to look at hiin yesterday afternoon, the tall, erect young man, neatly clad and looking the reverse of the melancholy pteturs ho pro- sented at the Garden when he strove so hard to make the 450 miles. His eyes looked somowhat btood- shot, but otherwise there was not the least sign of M1 health or suffering. He recognized the HenaLp reporter yesterday, and bade Mr. Lathrop, of the Union Athletic Club, of Boston, who has all along acted a8 Iarriman’s best friend, to tell the writer bs ey Dea experiences of the night after the con- es UNABLE TO REACH THEIR HOTEL YOR AN HOUR. Mr. Lathrop then, said :—‘Dr. Chitse and I had ac- tually to carry Harriman out of Gilmore's Garden in ourayms. We had our carriage engaged and got him in. We thought thetrouble was all over now, as we intended. to drive at once to this hotel, but hardly had wo Harriman safoly ensconced in the carriago and were about to shut the door when an immense crowd of men and boys surroynded us. I told the driver to go to the hotel at once, but ho could not move his horses for fear of trampling tpon somebody, It was with the greatest difficulty that we were able to move at last; but the hackinan at oties saw that he could not stop at the hotel, as tho houso would hayo been invaded by @ most unruly mass of human beings. So, against our wish, we kad to be driven on, no one knowing whither, crowd hanging on to the coachy* Tt was di It to “Let oe eens Horriman;’ ‘Give us @ shake, old beans,’ and all sorts,of noisy demonstrations, only ine by additional crowds as the carriage slowly made its way; then ugh’ cross streets, en atong the ' ayeuues, then over. ‘the ® without the Jesst prospect of rel an erertnceeety over-enthusiastic crowd. I finally got the’ wh.p from the driver, and piicd it most wnmercifully upon some of those who actually had clambered upon the carriage, but the whip did riot deter them in tho least. were not a bit afraid of it. We had to drive all the way to Ninth avenue, went up that thoroughfare, still the crowd kopt following us up—cheering, Gore and poor ote he ny rest $9 ae a An hour had nearly pasaed, Yelnable timo that tho man re- arte for Re aise | wo were driving throug! it sorts of thorouylifares simply to be rid of ‘crowd. I finelly halted the carriage, after wo had been driving in all dircctions, and told the crowd that Harriman was real sick, and that if they had knit regard for him to leave him alone. This seemed to have some effect upon the most unruly, and after a little more leying and still more coaxing we were it at aast to reach our hotel-in safety, It was then half- past eleven P. M., one hour and half atter we had Jeft Gilmore's Garden, but we wero even then com- pelled to keep thy number of his room aseoret: Wo at once gave Harriman a warm sponge bath and then put him to bed. A man was lett with him during the night to watch him and keep him well covered up, one of us looking in every one or two hours, He woke up at half-past cight o’clock this morning with an excellent appetite, and subsequently took a very good breakfas:,” z NEVER WELT SICK AT ALL. “How do you feel now, Mr. Harriman?’ asked the roporter. “I fee! no better to-day,” answered the man from Maine, ‘than I have felt all through the week. I have felt nice all seecag and did not feel sick at al as the papers made out. Nothing bothered me ex: cep tthe atmosphero ot Gilmore's Garden. Of course my countenance showed weakness, but I felt well all the time. I had no aches or pains, except the last two days in my knees, but even that is better now.” “Are you ready for another tussle?’" ‘o, Lam not ready for a six days’ running.” ‘nat is your opinion of Rowell?" ‘Ithink he is a wonderful man aud can accomplish an unperalicied feat. There is no man who walks that can take the gait he takes, He can, I must hon- estly admit, beat any walker.’’ “Are you satistied with the manner in which things were arranged at Gilmore's Garden?” : CHARGES AGAINST THE TRACKMEN. Mr. Lathrop, in the presence of Harriman, hero said, “Lot me tell you what We found fault with. On the first day the track was made loose and soft, all for O'Leary's benefit, so as to prevent, according to our opinign, other speedier men from meeting O'Leary, You must remember the ex-champion’s fect aro very tender, and the track was fixed to suit him. Mr. Kelly, previous to this, had bet that Harriman would not cover 500 mites, and it was very evident to us, cvon thou, that it was not a good track, ITgot a broom and 6 tthe track off myself. All ot the contestants liked it the way I swept it, but I could not get it swept by Mr. Kelly to suit us, Tho moment O'Leary was off the track hse gave us all wo asked for in to the track and the atmos- phere. of the, en, 1 then had signs made ‘No smoking allowed near the track,’ but they, were not pnt up tll Friday; too, late to be of any’ practical enedt to us. DEFEATED BY TODACCO EMOKE. “Lt was tor Harriman like walking through anever- lasting spittoon, as’ the le would throw their cigar stumps right on the track in addition to tho volume of smoke that constantly arose from the dense crowd. : ‘Lhe whole track, in fact, smelt like 3 huge spittoon, You mast remember that the effect of the smoke on Harriman was quite different from the effect on the other contestants, Harriman is taller, and as he moves the track he catches the vile volumes of smoke right in his facs, the terriblo effect of which you might possibly better understand if you were not a smoker.” ‘On Thursday last,” here interrupted Herriman, “T intended to make cighty miles, and lost ten miles Teould 12 on that day simply owing to that smoke. mot stand it, d had to remain two hours lo: = io dad w, Mr. Lathrop, tell tho gentlem: what Kelly said in regard to this matter.” Mr. Latunor—Yes, { will tell tried hard to get ventilation and be rid of the smoke during tho first threo da; Later on, when tho raco was tairly progressing, Mr. Walton’ bet Al mith $600 to $2,000 that Harriman Would go 450 iniles, This was on Friday. Kelly then tokl Mr, Walton that ho was foolish to bet in this manner; be would bo sure to lose, He said:—'The first day you have had a loose track, the noxt.two days they have you out; they ate bound to it you any- »” replied Harriman, “eferything was prot fair as to scoring and other mater" . ae CLAIMS TEN THOUSAND DOLLANS AT LMAST. “Are you satiated with the pocuntary results “These results, as stated in the mofning papers,” replied Mr, Harriman, “are under-estimuted. My receipts will be rully $10,000, You will find that the net gato money, cleat of all expenses, will reach $50,000, Tknow of what I am speaking, and i am also satiefed that all of the newspay will have to correct the money figures printed this morning.” Mr. Harriman, atter low more gentiemen who called to ¢ ny » enterod a Uy and, accompanied by Mr. Lathrop and Dr. Chase, took a drive through the Central Tact » Whence he returned toward dark, quito refreshed, and preparod to receive Rowell, who, 0s already stated, tatled Upon him during the’evening, Tho uo boy will loave for the Pino Tree Stato toward the end of the week. by The following is @ copy of letter reveived Marriman:— .

Before the match was finally arranged—that is, during the course of the arrangements—it apy that Ennis, Harriman and O'Leary were together against Rowell, and they wanted Mr. Kelly to be the sole and responsible trustee a1 eustodian of the funds. This was objected to by Mr. Rowel:’s friends, und @ clause was drawn up to the effect that the money should “be conuted each day in the presence of a representative of each ot the men, be deposited in the Second National Bank to the credit of the International Walk, subject to the order of James E, Kelly, but that the check of eaid Kelly shall be countersigned by Mr. George W. Atkinson.” The following figures are on the author- ity of Mr, Busbey, who showed the vouchers to the Hxnaxp reporter :— hag First day, $3,576 75 Second 7.220 Third di 9,156 75 Fourth 11,406 15 Fifth day 11,447 00 Sixth day. 00 Total.

The correction hee wisbed to announce was that exch man would draw ont $1,000 instead of $2,000, The truth of the-whote matter is simply that after the first any the success of the walk, from 4 financial point of view, was assured, ‘The walkers and their represcntatives were all anxious that nothing should occur to mar the serenity of tho affair, and during this era of yoo: fecling the foilow- ing agreoment was hastily drawn up and signed by the representatives of the four men :— * e's Ganonn, March 11, 1879, the fonr witiks ed in precedented the monoy is divided shall receive the Signed for Harriman—F. F. WALTO: Signed for O'Leary-—J AMES KE. KEL Signed for Rnnis—WILLIAM H HATCH, Signed for Rowoll—-HAMILTON BUSBEY. Before the papor was actually recognized as exe- ented, however, the ropresentatives of Ennis and Rowell stipulated that they might keep the docu- ment—at least Mr. Buyboy on the part of Howell did and that it should be destroyed it in his judgment it would operate unfairly to the interests of the man he was looking out for, Sabsequent'y Mr. Hatch's and Mr. Busbey’s names were torn from tho paver, and in thig mutilated condition it was shown to the reporter of the Heap yesterday. The reson for this was that while a spirit of liberality and fatrness characterized the whole of the arrange- ments to concele sucha proposition would be sim- ply to take money which afterward was fairly earned out of the pockets of Rowell and Ennis. Still later on an agreemout-was ontercd into by which O'Leary wax te be allowed $1,000 out of the gate money and the divivion of the net profits would be made after- ward, Mr. Busbey said that in reund numbers the amount which would accrue to each man would be about as follows:— as + 8,000 ‘The representatives, from 3 money point of view, are:—For Rowell, Hamilton Busbey; Eums, William H. Hatch; Harriman, F. F, Walton. The division of the spoils, or, at least, an accounting, will be had at eleven o'clock to-day. In explanation of the ep- parently smell amount of the receipts for the last day it was stated that, on the outect, 1,000 complimentary tickets were printed, with the Te that’ after boing resented they were to be taken out of the boxes and lestroyed. Tho ure Was Bo great, however, that these complimentaries to friends of the con- testants, city oflicials and others were reissued, and as Ennis, O'Leary and Herriman mude no objection Rowell did not want to be quently his representative made no protest. Tno estimate is thut there were at least 2,000 peo- ple in the Garden at the finish who did not pay to be admitted. Then, agein, itis stated thatthere woro several leaks. “The people who had charge of the doors at the Fourth avenue and Twenty-sicth street sides abe oapgated of being at le&st derelict in. their uty. ~ THE ,DRUTAL COXTEST—A SERMON BY THE REV. DR. J. P, NEWMAN. ‘ ‘Tho Rev. ‘Dr. Newman ‘selected for his \Sdtiday evening discourse ‘The Brutal Contest,” his text being from Matthew xxvi.,8—‘To what purpose is this waste?” New York, said the preacher, has been shamefully disgraced from Sunday to Sunday. This great Christin metropolis’ and commercial em-- porium is im dishonor in the sight of God and in the eyes of the civilized world. The. leprous spot will cleave to her through a whole decade. Law has been held in contempt, decenog-at ‘9 discount and heinan life as a thing net worth a thought. Disorder has been rampant, the mifnight air has resounded with tho yells and execrations of a maddene! crowd and the holy Sabbath trampled in the di This ‘community bas beon intensely excited over a brutal foot race; men, women and children have felt tho terrible intoxication. Like a sirooco the excitement has swept through our streets. It has been the en- grossing topic of conversation onour thoronghfares, in the cars, at business placos, in our public achools,. at home and even at clrurch. The press published tho results of cach day’s contest as if a nation’s life were at stake on the field of battle. The electric wires have burned and blazed with the intelligence, an‘ two continents have throbbed responsive to the excitement. What was at stake? Four men were testing their capacity of physical endurance—that is all. Pride, ambition and lovo of gain gave inspira tion to the strife. By force of nationul pride the brutalgontest was clothed with internationul dignity. England and Amcrica, the two great Christian nations of the globe, were pitted on a sawdust track and ro- proented by animals in human form. Tho interest in the result felt and manifested on both sides of the Atlantic is the shameful count in the indictment poy our Christian civilization. Public opinion should have been so strong in advance as to render the race impossible, and public indignation should have flamed forth at the mere proposal of such o contest in our city. “TO WHAT PURPOSE ?’’ But what have we to say againstit? Let us answer the question in the text, “To what purposo is this waste ?” 1t is a waste of physical force with- Out en adequate componsstion, “All the vital forces have been strained to their utmost tension, and per- haps impaired for life. Heart end lungs have been taxed beyond measure aud the whole system has re- colved an unpardonable shock. This tearful waste of strengh has not the apology of a noble end. It is worse than a useless exhibition; it is harmful. It has not tho upology of physical development that can be attained in our gymnasiums, It cannot be ranked with useful gymnastic sports. Tho object was not the development of speed, required in aucient times to carry intelligence. The telegraph fiashes our thought; and the railroad carries-our petsons a mie a minute. It is in violation of all well known hygienic laws. Nature can endure so much aud no mvre;. it ts 2 violation of the law of limitation; it is revival of tho brutal. sports ot pagan Rome, whon the gladiatorial combats wero at thetr height. It is a waste of happiness. How terrible tho suf- ferings those men iniicted upon themselves by ex- hanstion, fatigne and pains. Day and night for a whole weok walked with swollen and stiffened joints and blistered feet. The pains-ot a whole life were ondured in a week, and the happi- ness of @ life was sacrificed in the same brief timo. Is happiness #0 cheap? Others will be tempted to try, and will suffer in turn. The dofective must suffer mortitication, and his friends disappointment. We can applaud the fireman aud soldier who suffer in the discharge of their duty, but he who inflicts voluntary suffering upon himself defrands noviety. It is @ waste of money from the beginning te the end, Gambling has characterized this conteat in high places and in low; wages havo been wagered. This money has not exchanged hands on the commorctal Jaw of compensation; the loser has nothing to show for his lost money, and the winner has given no equivalent for what he has received. Ennis mort- re his little homo to bet on the contest, and O'Leary is a bankrupt. Wis ee OF tal AND seaman, m beginning to ¢ us been & oe op © eration, thereby in defiance of the Tawe of the 28, It is a waste of moral power, Pui morality is a great and conserving torce in this city, which should not be diminished or broken. This contest hus set frve upon us a whole brood of vices; intemperance has held high carnival and the liquor lew been set at defiance. Here the Doctor read from the Hxnarn of the 1th inst., in which it was stated that beer was drank by the hundred kegs, gin by the gallon and whiskey by the barrel. Profanity made check of night blush for shamo; tho holy Sabbath was des- ecrated in ® shameful and flagrant manner; and, to the mortification of every good citizen, ladies were It is a waste of heroic force demanded in the great struggle of life. All tho laws ot God and all interesty of society demand the application of that heroic force in the acquisition of knowledge, in the accumulation of honorable wealth, and in accomplishing tho highest moral achievements, Here is roam for our noblest heroism. But there is one great lesson taught by this contest—namely, if men can train themselves to endure #0 mich in a bad cause they can do the same in @ good cause, and God and society hold them re- sponsible. THE EVIIS OF PEDESTRIANTSM—SERMON BY THE REY W. ©, STERLE, Tho Rov. W. C, Stovle, at the South Third Streot Methodist Society’a Chapel, Williamsburg, de- nounced walking, matches, The text was from Hobrews xt., 8—"Bodily oxercisé profiteth little.”” Tho sperker premised that bodily suffering or mor- tification of tho flesh, as a more effort toward ascetic. ism, will not do in licu of faith in Joous Christ es a preparation for oternity, and where no aim bat Aworldly profit or renown was in viow it was an | settlement of the matter, unmitigated evil. Our people, with its nervous tem- Perament, were a8 usual in a great state of excite” ment, in fact wild, over the subject of pedestrianism, And they usually do go wild over every passing sen sation, even if it touches the domain of religion. But in this present sensation it was only born of and Productive of evil, And because the press was silent on that score it became the duty of the censors of public morals appointed by the Almighty to point out the danger arising from it. ‘Wo remember,” said the speaker, “when the ladies of the Temper- ance Union protested sgainst the open violation of the Sunday law by that coarse rough woman Mme. Anderson at Mozart Garden; how they were treated and the sophisms with which she replied to them. Since that time she has had hundreds of imitators, and every village of any size has had a touch of the walking mania, which has culminated in the international match, with ull its evils, the firat of which is phystcal abuse, Open air exercise is ro when not excessive. Euglish women who are habituated to it are more strong and healthy than are our women, and good, joyous exercise is beneficial, for all work and no Low fi makes a dull boy. The body should be developed that the mind. does not become a monstrosity and destroy it, for nervous diseases geverally aridy from a lack of exercise. Dio Lewis, one of American women's greatest benefactors, wonld ery out, how- ever, against such abuse of physical strength as anincessant walk of ftv or six days together implies, especially in the bad air and odors of such crowded places as the Kink or Gilmore's Garden. O'LEARY'S SUFFERINGS, O'Leary, the man who withdrew, saia his constitu- tian wes undermined by the foul air, odorons of to- baceo, inhaled during previous matches, and Mrs. Ennis says she fears her husbaad will never recover the great strain upon his physical system. O'Leary also says that he Jost a toe nail from time to time in wallcmg and at seasons only proceeded while suffer- ing the groatest agony. ‘The fact that the feet are blistered and the whole system is racked stamp the undertaking as an excess, suid the preacher. ook at Harriman, @vorn oyt and Staggering around the track like a drunken man, only sustained by the applause of the crowd, and who can say it is beneficial or creditable? And yet these arc called mauly sports. It is barbarious and never ought to have a place among civilized amusements, If rit is to be shown let it beon the battlefield for the right. International contests produce international rivairies and bad fogtings, though on the part of Rowell wo can crodit him with being a good, generous map. And so let the belt go back to England. Let tho American and English flags ever bg entwined, the emblems of progress, learning and civilization. .

I., March 16, 1879. Rev. N. L. Tho:npson, recently of Brooklyn, chose for his subject to-night, at the Second Bzptist Church, “The Lessons of tho Great “International Walking Match,” his toxt being from I. Corinth- fons, Ix., 44, 25. As was to be expected, this popu: Jar subject drew together an unusually large congre- gation. He spoke of the men who visited Gilmore's Garden and gambled with tho money that belonged to their family and their creditors. Young ladics were in attendanco who frequently complain of the uncomfortabdleness of their homes by lack of vontila- tion, and yet they were content to breathe the foul air of the Garden. Young men took their first glass, uttered their first oath and gambled for the first time, while applauding the walkers. The pross and the bul- letin boards kept ‘he country hourly .iv- formed of the progress of the match. The ° with the news, and \ wines wero but “England, as well ‘as America, was eoxcited. ‘He drew a painful picture of O'Leary, who, he satd, by overexertion had shatterol his constitution and \ruined pamimnrraa of ae 2 eae. The’ other three competi compl the le and) stood to pocket the oe ae el was trophy.. There was more rejoicing in England to- day over Rowell’s victory than there was over the mations of the Bible. The pedestrians had keg the laws of heaith and nature. If one-hun- @redth part of the exertion and endurance of the walkers was displayed by Christians for and in be- half of fallen men most glorious results would en endeavored to iy that the walking fev epreading like an epidemic, and that no ‘would come of it. If Christiana wouid ont: thomeelves as the walkers. had done they wouk be sure of a prize—not a gilt or gold belt, but the crown of life. ahiX A WALK INTERRUPTED. Mist Josio Wilson having completed on Saturday night, at Oraton Hall, in‘ Newark, as claimod, 2,700 quarter, miles in se many quarter hours, continued her walk yesterday with tho intentton of walking 8,000 quarter miles in 3,000 quarter hours. It being Sunday, when public exhibitions for gain aro prohibited, the entrance waq free. Toward dusk s crowd of roughs entered the hall and refused to leave and make room for others, There was a row, which caused wild excitement. Miss Wilson fied affrightel from the track and took in her A sqnad of mn to be closed, Practically this was done already, for Miss Wilson, upon reaching her quarger: swoanel away, and two physicians were called to tend her. At eleven o'clock the Henan reporter visited the hall and learned that Miss Wileon had gotten over her convulsions and was improving rapidly. She was walked around the track at hourly intervals, it being deomed dangerous to let her stop altogether. THE LECTURE SEASON. THE IRISH EMIGRANT. Rev. Edward A. Terry, of Utica, delivered a lecture in St, Gabriel's Church, last night. At the hour ap- pointea, a large audience nesembled in the sacred eili- fice. The subject selected was “Tho Irish Emigrant; his Trials and Interests.” The lecturer commenced by teferring to tho religious clement in the Irish national festival, and dwelt at length upon the object of tho Church in establishing festival days as a familiar human method ot utilising natural impulses and national cnstoms in the cause of religion. In this spirit sho brings God to us as fathor, the Virgin as a cherished mother, the saints as elder brethren of tho household and heaven itself as our home, ewoet home, It was in keeping with this principle that the Church in her mission to the nations never insisted on “abolishing all former religious practices and national customs; sho rather permitted: these to remain, gave them a Christian eMaracter and thus made of them fomiliar and welcome channels of truth to the Rearts of men. The lecturer then took occasion to py merited eulogy to the fidelity of the Irish people to the falth of their apostle. The Irish emigrant, his trials and interests wero next dwelt on by the reverend speaker, who gave a graphic and touching picture of the home of the emigrant and described in eloquent language his feelings on leaving it for another land. Passing from tho bred gel in L be a> ag! of ina emigrant ho proceeded to speak of the practic: nile” of tho subject and the interests that should influence him in his new home. He beqen by. ding the immigrants in general and tl Trish immigrants in particular, against imputations of popular prejudice, dwelling especially on the charge of intemperance. He re ferred sharply to the popular argument against Irtsh- men taken from the records of potty crime, It was their poverty and peculiar social position that ex- posed them to arrest, whoreas tho wealthy Leg) indulged his drunken orgy screened by his riches and social position, HELL | INGBRSOLL AND WHISKEY— CAN'S HUYOROUS ADDRESS. “Hell! Ingersoll and Whiskey” was tho title of « lecture to be delivered at the Lyceum Hall, in Williamsburg last evening. It was also announced that tho lecture would be by w. T. Duncan, of Ohio, tho humorist and orator of tho West, alded by Mies Ada Lynwood, mezzo soprano vocalist, and others. Mr. Duncen did appear on on the rostrum, so to apeak, and Miss Ada Lynwood did vocalize. Mr. Duncan read the most inflamatory parts of Colonel Ingersoll’s lecture as a text to a few remarks which he made to the audience, JOSIAH CALDWELL IN COURT. Josiah Caldwell, notorious during the Blaine in- vestigation in 1876, was summoned on Monday, tho Sd of March, before the Lord Mayor at the Manston House Police Court, London, for obtaining $1,250 from Colonel W. H. Reynolds, of Providence, B. 1. Mr. B. Wontner, counsel for Colonel Reynolds, said he was originally instructed in the matter, but the complainant had not aince seen him, and he had re- ceived @ letter from him stating that since taking out the summonses he had reveived such informa- tion and explanations as satisfied him that he had misapprehended the facts, and that now he did not intend to pursue tho matter further. This ended tho police court proceedings which might havo proved interesting had it not been for Caldwell's . T. DUN - ready to return to England with his | THE RUSSIANS TN BULGARIA, General Tchernaieiff’s Plans Discussed. ON OF THE BULGARIANS. A The Panslavist Ideas Considered Utopian by the Russians. THE U) Sr. Prrrassunc, Feb. 21, 1879. ‘The special correspondent of an English journal telographed from Bulgaria recently some informa- tion of a sensational character relating to the move- ments of the Russian and Bulgarian armies. He described certain military movements and prepara- tions in Bulgaria which to him appeared to indicate that the Russians intended to make a lengthened stay in the countries beyond the Danube, or that some important military enterprise was again con- templated by Russia in ‘Bulgaria and Eastern Rou- melia. P He spoke also of the formation of many new bat- talions of Bulgarian militia, of the continual arrival of fresh troops from Russia, and-even deseended in his minute details to the construction of a tem- porary home for General Todleben in the picturesque wildorness of the Balkan passes, Persons unac- quainted with the internal strugglesiof tho localities may be induced to believe in the conclusions at which the correspondent arrives. ‘A RUSSIAN EXPLANATION, Many of these assertions are, it may be hore said, highly probable, although the correspondent is quite mistaken as to the cause and the motives which lie at the bottom of the movements and preparations observed by him. The Russian government is not only quite candid. in its expressed wish to rry out the provisions of the Berlin Treaty, but is essentially opposad to all further disturbances on the Balkan peninsula, The Russian oflicials have “received tho strictest instructions to oppose with all their energy any national movement on the part of the Buigarians which may come to their kaow!- edge, because any such occurrence is radically ad+ verse to Russian interests. To make the subject clear, I must refer to something which took place in Russia some time sgo and which was not evon men~ tioned by cur local papers. Almost simultancously with the recall of the Panslavist leader, Mr. Aksakoff, from his temporary exile in one of his remote coun- try seats, there had been arranged several moctings of the Panslavie circle in Moscow. Many schemes Were enterteined for the attainment of the cause of Bulgarian unity, seriously compromised, but none of them could be considered feasible cnongh to claim tho exertions and moncy which Panslavists were ready to apply for tho attainment of ultimate success. They hat recourse at last to Gen- eral Tchernuieff, and that gentleman showed them 80 many chances for the success of their enterprise that they were quite ready to subscribe any sum wanted in the preliminary estimates of the contem- plated actions. TCHRRNATEFE’S PLANS. General Tchernaief submitted to them all his cal- culations, and it must be acknowledged that those calculations were based on actual facts and were sus- tained by very weighty figures, His plan was not a complicated one, * He reckoned mostly on the forces ready at hand—called out by the undonbted Prestige of his name and put to use by his friendly hand. He ‘was to go to Bulgaria, w there are forty-four battalions of the national miflitia al ariNed end placed ona perfect military standing by the exor- tions of the Russian authoritics. ‘There were, be- sides, to be had cight battalions from the western of Bulgaria, in the ncighborhood or Sophis, Servian wilitary forces it be raised: to seventy-two battelions, and, finally, Tcher- naieff declared, that on his firet popeal al young men of Eastern Roumelia would ready to leave their country and join him in Jarge masses. Accord- ing to the above catenlation Tchernaiet? was to have in all about one hundred and twenty-four thousand men; buthe swore to be able to resist all attempts on the part of the Turks to reoccupy Eastern kou- melis even with 50,000 men. THE PANSLAVISTS AND THE GOVERNMENT. But even tho hottest supporters ot Tehornaieff's plans never hoped for the shghtcat assistanco from the Russjen ‘nment. They had also to consider the means by which they were to repair the damages inflicted on thetr cause by the Russian government in the imminent application of the Berlin Treaty to the newly organized province. General Tchernaieff is ® man not much tronbied by secondary considera- tions. He declared thatas the Russian administra- tive authorities are to resign their places only on tho arrival of their Ottoman substitutes, he will let the Turkish authorities enter the country in order to get fre from [Russian authority. ‘It will not re- quire much skill’ said Goneral Tchernaictl, “to master the Turkish officials and make them quite inoffensive if, when the Russians have gone. They will be allowed to live in seclysion if they show themsclyes obedient, but will be sacri- ficed if they uttempt to prejndice our canse. But the Turkish army must not and shall not enter the prov- ince as long as I have @ handful of men to opposo such @ catastrophe.” So the plan was declared to contain the capacity for success, and wae encr- tically sustained by the Pansiavistic party of Russia. Not being ip @ position to know exactly how far they have carried their preparations for the contemplated action I will limit myself to the contemplation of the means they will have at their disposal in case their fencies happen to become reasities, and the latter must be considcred possible, TRE FROVAILITIES OF KTCCESS, Tchernateff made an attempt to gain Prince Milan to the cause he is about to ropresent, but in thix he failed, as the Prince seems to be quite satisfied with the actual oe a things bon cauieibeies on = change his position of an independent Prince for the visionary honors of a king of a projected kingdom, He even r-fused to see General Techernaieff at Nish. Not #0, however, the Servian government. As far eg Ican judge Kistish is completely on the side of the Russian Panslavist party, and there is no doubt that he will do atl he can toward disposing the country {n favor of TohernaictT's aa Tehernateft declares that he is able to hold the ans and prevent the Turks from occupying Eastern Bulgaria, even with a forco of 50,000 men, Arins and enimunition are = already, it is said, in great quantities, Tcher naieff rockous himself able to hold the Turks in check with his infantry and cavalry, ‘The artillery is to be left to the Bulgarians after tho evacuation of the country by the Russians, It must not be supposed, either, that the Emperor Alexander resented the greater part of Russian guns to the julgarians in any provision for a future insurree- tion. Such a sacrifice was dictated by considerations quite foreign to all Panslavistic fancies, and was not even due to any magnanimity on the’ part of tho Crar. It had been saat ascertained during the last Turkish war that two-thirds of: the Russian artillery was positively good for nothing; only one-third of it—the guns recently purchased—proved to answer the exigencies of modern warfare, Were the Rus- sians obliged to fight the English, or even the Aus- triens, these old fashioned guns would be of no use, and us there certainly will be no other occasion to fight Turkey for a long time to come it was not thought worth while to carry that part of the artil- iy ome 5 Bresson — Coe the pee asp oe the guns would perhaps have been greater than the actual worth of their material. So it was decided to leave them behind for the Bulgarians. Tehernaief on his side affirms that thoy would yet answer vi-y well the purpose of the’ actual momont, and is on the whole quite confident in the eufiiciency of all the means provided for the contemplated rising of the Slavs, So much for the plans and hopes of the Bulgarians and theit supporters, who, although Russians for the most part, decline to see what an mopportnne mo- fhent—eo far as Russia is concerned—they have chosen for theturtherance of their idea, RUSAIA OPPOKES THE PLAN. Thavo already stated that the Russian government is for the present decidedly adverse to any efforts on the part of the Bulgsrians to achieve the union of therr country ag: reat, Powers of Europe. by Servia, would probabt; theit ends if they only had to fight Turkey, but it ts not to be doubted for @ moment that and Austria would iuterfere in such a case, What would then be the part imposed on Russia? The country is ex- hausted by the last siruggle; the bad state ct her finances beg vpeed many years of undisturbed peace in order to be put on a proper footing. The itussian people are tired of ; the Emperor is, and ever was, opposed to it, The need of many reforms, sus pended during the Inst disquicting yeers, is untver- eally felt, and such reforms, indispensable as they aro, for the welfaro of the Russian people, cannot be carried out except with several years of arsured peace and all possible economy in internal expenses, Lat us suppose for oue moment that Russia could allow things to take their course without supporting the conse of Bulgaria against Turkey, would it be saible for her to leave Bulgaria without assistance Tethe othot Powers were to come dowy upon her? Would not the Bulgarigns be right in #aying then that Russia had disavowed them after having been the first cause of their rising? Could Russia hold to her policy of peace when the Bulgarians were really threatened with ruin, and amid them so many of her own sons—the Russions who are now in the Bul- arian atmy as teachers, aubofficets, &c, Years of loodshed and misery would ensve which would ex- haust ail Europe, stop commerce, and Russia would =" out of it, even it victorious, the most injured of he THE PANSLAVIST IDEA TNSOUND, The Panslavists cannot find any excuse for forcet- ting ali this and ombroiling their land in @ war in the hope of a el Utopia, Nations are not to be built up in ali their glory in one day.

MAYOR COOPER’S CHARGES. DFFENCE TO BE MADE BY THE POLICE COM- MISSIONERS—OLD AND NEW EXCUSES. The fact that yesterday was Sunday did not pre vent politicians from congregating in the lobbies and corridors of the uptown hotels to discuss the veharges that have been nade against tlie Police Com- missioners by Mayor Cooper, whose letter was made the forerunner of some startling facts which, it was said, might confront the accused officials when they Appeared to present their answer at noon of next Wednesday, Doubts wero freely ex- pressed as to whether the investigation would be conducted in public in spite of the fact that the Mayor had on last Saturday decided to “have av open exsinination. The quidnunes, however, re called instances when a chief magistrate had said one thing one day and another thing the next, and af persons wity whom the Hrraup reporter con- versed yesterday seemed inefined to believe that the Commirsioners would not be allowed the privilege of examining and cross-exemining witnesses who might be called for or against them. But the two questions that seemed to be on everybody's lips were:—How can they defend themselves? What can be said in justification of the condition of the streets during the past winter ?”” THE COMMISSIONERS’ ANSWER. For the purpuse of obtaining an answer to these questions the reporter proceeded to the house of « gentleman’ who has been connected, in one way oF another, with almost every trial of a police board or a commissioner that has taken place in this city in some years, He will be one of the many legal rop- resentatives of the prosent Board, although he will not be able to take a prominent part in the proceod- ings. When the Hrranp representative called on the gentleman yesterday he found him busily engaged in colecting and collating memoranda in relation to the Street Cleaning Bureau and other matters. Upon being requested to give an outline ef the defence of the Commissioners in the coming fight with the Mayor he declined at first to do so, stating that he had not as yet become very well acquainted with the case of his clients.” At last, however, he yielded, and in prefacing his remarks gave a short history of the formation of the Street Cleaning Bureau. He then continued as follows :— “Of course you will understand that before we make any defence whatover we will make a formal demand upon Mayor Cooper for more specific charges, if he hes any; we shall ask him to let us have the right to call and examine witnesses. im our own behalf, nud we shall protest against tha attempted removal of Commissioner Erhardt, because his term has already expired and his plece may be filled at any time by the Mayor with the consent of the Board of Aldermen. This last point is, in my judgment, a good one and will be pressed upon the Mayor's attention if an opportunity is given. If it is made to appear that Mr. Cooper is secking to evade a provision of law by removing Mr. Er- hardt it will not look so well. As it is now the con- sent of the Aldermen is necpesary to confirm Er. hardt's snecessor; but if he were removed; why. then it is claimed by meziy lawyers that the Mayor could appoint a gentleman to position indepen- “a.” “How about Sn charge in relation to the cleaning of the strects?”’ asked the reporter. “Oh, that’s all dosh,” answered the gentleman.’ “The Commissioners do as well as they can under the existing state of affairs, and this, in my opinion, will be proven to the satistaction of everybody. The lew, it is true, providers that the streets be cleaved and kept clean, but the Board has surrounded by 80 many difficulties that it is absolutely im- orsibie to carry out tho strict letter of the statute, it will be shown that the Lo sy aan d is wi inesuticwot; that since is%the amount leid to clean the streets has decreased every year, and’ that there has never been ayy sum of money ap propristed for clearing away the snow and ice, Over three hundred miles of streets have to be swept and cleaned at certain periods, and the ashes and garbage have to be collected on nearly four hundred miles of streets, All this work has to be done every day according to the law. A typos ego boon the moneys appropriated and expended by the depart- ment since 18732, her withthe number of wiles of strects cleaned, garbage and dirt removed each year, and the cost per load, will be made. It will be shown in this connection that, although the city hes increased in size during the past six years the amount of a for the ‘work of strect cleaning hes steadily reased,"* NO DUMPING GROUND. june “Now I come to, per! the most important part of the defence of the Police Board,” continued the gentleman as he took from a table a bundle of docu- mente tied up with red tape. “I hold here inmy hand copies of judicial proceedings taken against the present Commissioners by residents of Long Inland for dum) refuse in Gravesend Bay and at other points on the Island shore. Proof will be submitted to Mayor Cooper of the truth of tho statement that there is not at the present time, nor has there been since 1876, 9 regularly designated dumping ground that could be made available by the Street Cleaning Bureau. Tho law, it is true, that the city refuse shall be taken out to sea; bat our answer to thet is that we have not the proper facilities for doing this. The number and capacity of the scows, tn, ure by the department are entirely inadoquat proper performance ot the duty intrusted to the Street Cleaning Burean, We will show that frequent application has been mado for the appropriation to purchase or build new self- a on Ol er eee tion was deniel by the of Apportionment until recently, when it received some consideration at their wl Bi ease ee See it is absolutely imy lo every day, we dump the dirt within Narrows or in the Sound, the Shore Inspector, a State official, I believe, instantly > and provides commences In several cases employed by the bureau have been arrested subjected to punishment, either by fine or imprison- ment. All this and much moro besides of the same character will be fully explained to Mayor Cooper.”* THE ALLEGED DEMORALIZATION. The gentleman, in answer to some further quos- tions, said that the charge of Mayor Cooper to tho effect that demoralization had taken place among the members of * Police force be en dis- roved, Mr. Erhardt is ex: to givo over gain is teatimony and show by the of ti Department that he is not state of affairs all will point, it ts claimed, to many efforts that he made to remodel the police force on a better pol basis, which met with the hostility of some of his col- es. isons the first matters that will be bronght to Mayor Cooper's attention by the counsel for the ac cused Comiissioners will be one which will relate to the action of the Chief strate in not serving Mr. Wheeler with a copy of charges. In case he should fail todo so by Wednesday next the point will be raised by Messrs. Smith, Nichols and Erhardt that, aa the charges of the Mayor aro made, against the Board of Police, Commissioner Wheeler’ should have been,treated in the same manner as his col leagues, Should this question be raised, said coun- sel, it might be necessary to bring tho matter before acourt, and thus the investigation could be indefi- nitely prolonged. TEMPERANCE. Mrs. Ida Von Leggett differs from the majority of agitators in hor views on the temperance question, Sho desires to reject entirely the emotional or ro ligiona element, and to propagate the virtuo of moderation of life by purely rational pro- cesses. In order to effect this end pro poses to deliver ® series of discourses at the Masonte Temple, and she commenced last night by indicating all the principles that bear on her snbject, and which she intends to discuss more fully here- after. She said it is uscless to suppose that gencral abstinence from liquor can ever be produced by any motive power so unstable end temporary as that of appealing to the feelings, However much men tnay be moved, however sincere resolutions they may form, the force that wakens the emotions passes away ins moment, and there is nothing to sustain the weak one. He inevitably drifts back to his old condition. But if his reason be awakened, if its shi eye be turned on the wretchedness of a state of intemperance, and the hideons effects it produce, then a force is set at work tl cannot die out, Mrs, Loggett further said that it is absurd to endeavor to produce temperance tm one direction only, to make 4 man avoid liquor, perhaps be ungoverned in some other appetite. Moderation should be incuicated as a general rulo of life, for the sake of the good it will do him who practises it, for the sake of the good it will do those who observe him A those who depend on him. Parents shotld be taught to observe it, for the sake of thet children; men in general, because each in- dividual is a model to ® number of others; all, be- catise it exalts and purifies those who practise it. This stato of affairs was, in the opinion of the ee ee be grea of reason, and cam ¢ thought, be produced in the future,
