a BOR AGAINST CAPITAL. Threatened Repetition of the Riots of 1877. | faba “EIGHT HOURS A DAY'S WORK.” \ Monster Demonstrations To Be | Made on the Fourth. —_——_.—_—- The recurrence of July recalls to the observant | mind the many disturbances, riots and sanguinary frays by which this month has gained an unenviablo notoriety, and, in view of the violent socialistic and communistic agitation which has again become Prominent of late, the railruad strikes and riots of 1877 are especially objects of unplessant semem- Drance just now. While the Henaup dogs not desire to excite neediess alarm the fact cannot be con- | cealed that within the past few weeks there havo | been anxious mutterings ef an impending ‘en and thas some vigilant observers, who are “fa- wiliar with the exteut of the tevolutionary labor movement, have seen what they consider to bo unmistakable premoniticus of another outbreak on the part of the dissatisfied laboring classes, oF rather those elements which are under the influence of rabid and revolutionary leaders. This outbreak, rumor has declared, waa to be preceded by mouster demonstrations in most of the large cities, to bo held on the Fourth of July and immediately thereafter, In favor of the immediate and universal reduction vf the daily hours of labor to eight, and to be fol- dowed by s general eight-hour strike all over the eountry if the demand were resisted by em- Ployers. That such a state of affairs might lead to acenes of dangerous conflict between the strikers, who are led by bold and reckless men, and the guardians of property and peace, is a fear which las been freely expressed by those who claim to be familiar with the facts, and who declare that no procautions should be omitted to prevent the possib’e recurrence of the riots of 1877, and of the disastrous loss of life and destruction of property which they entailed upon the community. FOUNDATION OF THE RUMORS, A Hxraxp reporter,had an interview yesterday with a gentleman who has sustained intimate rela- tions with the International Trade Union and the sggaslistic labor party, and who is in a position to shed much light on the inner workings of these two organizations. According to his statements the rumors above alluded to have a substantial founda- tion, and preparations are actually in progress for this monster strike and conflict. He said that the executive committees of both organizations had issued circulars to their respective sections, unions and sub-unions in every city, town and hamlet of the country calling for simultaneous monster demonstrations on the evening of the Fourth of July and on the days immediately following. At all these meetings speeches are to be made by leading mem- bers of the party demanding the immediate enforce- ment of the eight hour rule all over the country, and a general and simultaneous demand is to be made upon employers to consent at once to the reduction of the hours of labor. If they refuse then the supervising boards of both or- ganizations are to order an immediate general strike. ‘With a view to this contingency the various organi- zations have already prepared themselves with money, aud according to this informant the follow- ing trade unions have sufficient funds to sustain themselves for two or three months inst capi- talists:—The Iron Moulders, of Pennsylvania; the Crispins, of New England; the Potters, of Trenton, N. J.: the National Spinners and Weavers’ Union, the Cigar Makers, of New York; the International Cabinet Makers’ Union, the Bricklayers’ Union and other great trade organizations, ‘According to the details turnishea by the gentle- man above alluded to the movement for this revolt ‘against the moneyed classes was started by the In- ternational Cabinet Makers’ Union, who adopted, about two months ago, at their reunion in Chicago, resolutions looking to this strike. At their sugges- tion the International Trade Union took up the mat- | ter, and negutiatious were opened with the social- istic labor party, in order that these two great bodies might act thoroughly in concert. The socialists ac- cepted the invitation cordially, and their secretary, Phalip Van Patten, sent, on behalf of the Executive Committee, circulars to the various sections of the party, requesting their earnest co-operation with the Internationals. Nearly all these sections adopted resolutions indorsing the action of the ceu- tral committees and committing themselves fully to the objects in view. The two bodies are said to number over a quarter of a million strong, resolute, able bodied men—the internationals being about one hundred and twenty thousand and the socidlists abont one hundred and forty thousand in number. The movement will probably attain its greatest strength in the West, where the socialists are more rienced armed and organized than they are re. DANGERS OF COLLISION. “These men,” said the HeRatp informant, ‘‘are a to fight for what they consider their rights, even at the cost of bread, shelter and blood. Their officers and leaders are efficient men, many of whom have served in the armies of Germany, Austria and France on their native soil. Some of these men are exceedingly bold and desperate—they will not shrink at any means to conquer in this battle with capital. The m who made the streets of Paris run with blood; tl men who are now causing the goyernment of Russia such trouble by their persistent attempts at assas- sination and arson, are of the same breed as those who threaten a riot in Chicago, St. Louis and other cities, It was only recently seen in Chicago, at a pic- nic of the Bohemian socialists, how easily blood is shed by the armed sections of the party, and this in the face of the law, for in Illinois there 1s a law for- bidding the parading of armed companies other than the State militia and regular soldiers. ‘The spinners of Fall River and the puadlers of Pitts- burg have started the ball in Massachusotts and Pennsylvania under direction of the International Trade Union, and unless their demands and the de- mands of their fellow laborers are complied with the country will, it is to be feared, witness scencs which will cause the strikes of 1877 to sink into in- Bignificance. “Whatever the result of the strike may be the battle Is to be fought over again at the polls. Efforts are already being made for s union of the socialists and internationals, to be effected at the next convention ot the former, which will be held in the latter part of December, 1879, at either Detroit or Indianapolis. ‘Tbe New England and Western greenback elections of the past gt ged were due in a large measure to the strength of the internationals, who, having no decided political organization, threw their entire vote into that party. The aggregate vote of | the socialists in 1878 was 98,000. The internationals | have a paying membership of 120,000, The socialisis | are divided into 111 sections, representing as many | different towns and cities in the Union. They are | strongest in llinois and weakest in Lo At their coming ember convention candidates will be nominated for the highest offices in the land.

His name, says Schwab, will add groat strength | to the ticket,” THE ORIGIN OF THE MOVEMENT, | “Gan you give me some reliable date as to the igin of the movement?” the reporter asked, Yes,” replied his inform: “although much of the inner workings of the organizations are still in- volved in mystery. In the tall of 14758 Union Congress | of workingmen was held in Philadelphia, At that | Sime the thought of political power cutered little into | ‘their minds, anc it was not until later, when the sce. tions of Llinois entered the political arena, that their | ambition in this direction became kuown. Chicago was nightly ablaze with processions, and when the returns came in it was found that the socialists had | elected several of their candidates for Alder- | aynen and) =6minor = offices, and thus first | learned their political strength, Their success | electrified the mombers of the organization, and another congress of socialists was called. ‘This con- gress was held in the latter part of December, 1877, in Newark, N. J., and remained in session five days. ‘The constitution of the organization was altered to admit of a political course which was then shaped for tuture action. The leaders were couvinced that wocial weltare, such as they desired, could only be | obtained through political power, ‘Tho first result | of this change of sentiment was shown in the spring | elections of 1874, in Llinois, when the socialists electod their candidates for State Senator, members | to the House of Assembly and other offices. In the tall of the same year they again tried their hand at the ballot box, and their aggregate vote was 140,000, This continued steadily on the increase, notwith- Mtanding the fact that the California sections were ispended from the party for indorsing Donis ney and his doctrines.” THE LEADERS. “Who are tho leaders of the movement!” “The leading men of both organizations in this sountry, besides those generally known, are James O'Neil, of Massachusetts, pt dent of the Interna- tional ‘Trade Union; Philip Van Patten, of Cincin- nati; Albert Currlin, of St. Louis; A, Kh.

He received a sword for his bravado in Paris, Some ot the other secret leaders are distinguished by their connection with the riots of 1877." ‘The following are the leading socialistic press or- vans in this country:—Labor Standard, New York; Labor Standard, Paterson, N, J.; Emancipator and So- cialut, Milwaukee; National Socialist ant Journal, Cincinnati; Socialist, Chicago; Star, St. Louis, and Vindicator, Lynn, Mass. ‘The socialists have also a half dozen journals privted in the Bolemian lan- guage, two in the Scandinavian and twenty-two in German.

THE PROGRAMME FOR THE FOURTH. ‘The above are some of the outlines of the pow ful movement which, it is believed, again threatens peace and prosperity during this summer. As to the specific programme of the demonstrations to be held on the Fourth of July, it appears that the recent failure to organize meetings on the Denis Kearney plan in Union square has rather discouraged the labor agitators in New York, and that they will concentrate their efforts in Brooklyn, where a monster parade and amass weeting are to be held and resolutions in favor of the eight-hour system to be adopted. George Winters and 8. E.Shevitsch, the nibilist, are to be among the speakers in Brooklyn. In Boston Leander Thompson is to harangue the socialists; in Cincinnati, C. H. er, member ofsthe Illinois State Legislature; in Chicago, State Senator Sylvester Artley, and in St.Louis, P. J. Mc- Guire, of New Haven. it has been ail along con- sidered by the socialists that they were moving in the dark, and that the suddenness of this demonstra- tion would appall their enemies and strike dismay into the capitalist camp. They thought their move- ments were unobserved, and it rematns to be seen whether the publicity given to their preparations by the present exposé will not induce the authorities to take sufficient precautions, in order that the scenes of 1877 may not be repeated. STRIKERS TO BE SUPPORTED. A mass meeting of pianoforte makers was held last night in the Teutonia Assembly Rooms, Third ave- nue, between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets, about two hundred and fifty workmen, representing nearly all the principal pisnoforte factories in this city, being present. George Bartholemew, the chair- man, said, in opening the meeting, that they had as- sembled for the. purpose of determining whether recently employed by Kranich & Bachs, who struck three weeks ago against a former reduction in their | wages. The men claim that the firm reported the weekly earnings of their employés to be on an average $23, whereas in reality they did not average more than half that amount. A committee of three was appointed to examine the books of the men on strike and ascertain the average earnings of the men for four weeks previous to the strike. After an absence of twenty minutes the committee returned and reported that they had examined the books of | forty ot the men, and found that the amount earned in one week by the forty men was $412 12, oran average of $10 30 per nan. They also tnd that the highest amount earned in a week by any one | man was $16 and the lowest $5. A resolution to | sustain the men on strike was then adopted and the meeting adjourned. EDISON'S WORK. COMPLETION OF THE NEW ELECTRO-MOTOGRAPH TELEPHONE AND A NEW DYNAMOMETER, A private exhibition of Mr. Edison's new electro- monograph telephone was given at Menlo Park yea- {erday before a nuatnber of ladies and gentlemen from New York. The occasion was the final testing of the instruments preparatory to their shipment to London, where they are to be used in @ new telephone exchange system to be established there. The principle of the | electro-motograph telephone was explained in these | columns shortly after the invention. It consists briefly of a new property of electricity—viz., the power of electricity to lessen friction normally ex- isting between two substances in contact. From this principle Mr. Edison, atter a long | series of experimeuts, ected the new telephone, which reproduces the sound waves of the human voice transmitted at the distant end in a manner marvellous both for accuracy and distinet- ness. And what is more curious, it reproduces the | sound waves considerably magnified. A low whisper, for instance, scarcely audible as it leaves the > er’s mouth, comes out at the distant end of the line by means the electro-motograph loud enough to beard some feet away, The exhibition yesterday comprised a miniature telephonic exchange, all the buildings around the laboratory being connected by wires, with the la- boratory as the central station. Here Mr. BE. H, Johnson, Mr. Edison's ageut, sat with a switch board, by means of which he could ina twinkling place apy building im communication with any other. Dozens of experiments were tried and all gave the | highest satisfaction, The exhibition continued for over two hours, ‘THE Nkw DYNAMOMETER. Later in the day the laboratory was visited by Protessor Barker, of the University of Pennsyiva- | nia, a personal friend of Mr. Edison. The Professor examined with interest the new generating machine | and the new dynamometer. This latter proved one of the most difficult parts of the electric light sys- tem with which the inventor has had to do. Several kinds were made by him, but none gave faction. His object was to obtain a dynamometer of suflicient delicacy to measure with unvarying ac- curacy the one-hundredth of a horse power. ‘Tho new apparatus does this and works with entiro re- liability, The manner in which this result is av- complished is quite curious, for, strange as it may seem, the horse power is literally weighed. Tho belt leading trom the engine is arranged to pass over & pulley attached to a box which 1s filled with scales. The increase of the strain upon the beit teais to lift the box of weights from the seale, thus | causing the latter indirectly to show by the diminu. tion in weight the amount of «train on the belt, Bearing in mind that the amount of strain upon ® belt is the indication of the horse power which the belt is conveying, it can readil: bo understoo!t that any means bd; which | the increase or decrease of — sucl strain | can be shown will indicate the horss power obtained from the engine, Wita this dynamometer Mr, Edi- #on is now enabled to calculate the cost of the eleo- tric light to the minutest detail, Previously the only way has been to approximate when beyond tho working point of the old dynamometer, LAW AND PHYSIC. Judge Neilson, in the Brooklyn City Court, rendered a decision yesterday in tho case of Tho People ex rel. Samuel 8. Guy vs. The Hommopathic Medical Society of Kings County, denying the mo: | tion for a mandamus to compel the society to restore | the relator to membership.

To-day the Witokas and Alaskas play on the Union Ground, Brookly: BALLOONING ON THE BEACH. PROFESSOR KING'S ‘‘CAPTIVE” AT CONEY ISLAND— THE FIRST ASCENT TO BE MADE TO-DAY. As the voyager steams into Rome through dry and sandy tracks the first monument that catchos his eye, rising high above the city, is the dome of St. Peter's. So, from to-day, the excursionist arriving at Manhattan Beach will see, towering over pavilions and pagodas, a huge painted dome, and will learn | with satisfaction that this is a captive balloon, sixty- five feet in diameter, containing 150,000 feet of gas, costing $20,000 and capable of carry ing twelve persons to a height of a quar- ter of # mile, into regions which even the blare of Levy's cornet shall be powerless to penetrate, That such an airship would prove an attraction at any place of popularresort was demon- strated at the Paris Exhibition, where acaptive bal- loon netted » small foftune for its proprictor. Every visitor used to patronize it. In its car the commonplace tourist could jostle against dignitaries | of State. Sarah Bernhardt, the actress, rode in it every day, and was silly enough to publish a book about her musings in the clouds. Two vaudevillists put it, with great success, upon the stage. It was the sensation of the summer. HOW THE BALLOON WAS BoRN. But Professor Samuel A. King, the aeronaut, abhors | sensation, Professor King isa practical man. He speaks seldom, thinks much, acts quickly, and re- sembles the generality of his fellows only in this— ‘that he rides a hobby. This hobby is to cross the Atlantic in # balloon, He hopes to emancipate the balloon from its slavery to the wind. He cousiders that it still remains what it was in the days of the Moutgolfiers—a machine that all the skill of man has not been able to prevent from floating with the wind or from being controlled by it abso- lutely from the moment it is launched. The power of sustaining itself is gradually impaired by leakage. It has never been able to maintain the same eleva- tion or avoid the fluctuations of the atmosphere in its course. The moisture which it absorbs at night being suddenly dried by the morning sun causes it to rise, aud thus, by incessant changes of level, its progress is forcibly terminated. But the protessor, who has already made an air voyage of over a hundred mites, believes that he will yet be able to 1 for a whole month, He purposes to send a pioneer balioon across the Atlantic, carrying bal- last suspended from ropes of different lengths, so that when the longest touches the water the ballast will be lifted and the balloon will rise again; and this process will be ed till it is landed sately on European shores. ‘o effect this revolution he wishes to make experiments at the altitude of a thousand feet, and therefore the present balloon has been constructed at Manbuttan seach, the capital being furnished by a number of gentiemen united under the style of the American Aeronautic Society. HOW THE AIR SHIP LOOKS. The balloon is to rise to-day There was a great gas conveying artery of India rubber throbbing at its base last evening. The car with its network of ropes was waiting to be attached, The mercury in the dynamometer, which is to indicate the strain, was weary of long idleness. The workmen, iu sailor costume of bine flannel, directed by Superintendent Vincent, were hauling at ropes and tastening stays, The vast balloon rose in the centre. The equa- torial line was marked on it by a broad vand of coloring in gay figures. Columbus was painted on the dome seated in his cabin, with chart m hand and cannon beside him. The rest was « rough medley of tints, black and yellow and green, coarsely laid on. Round the balloon was « netting of pink and white bands. Canvas bags of sand, stamped with the monogram ot the American Aero- naut.c Society, held it to the ground, ts stays were securely fastened to iron winches, Its coating was of closely woven Irish linen, doubled and sewn with silk, and so firmly stayed that the stays form an even rred chee It stands in an enclosure of wood 200 feet in diameter, 30 teet in height, painted outside in subdued gray, with a border of bright color, and furnished inside with a gallery looking down on 4 wooden pavement, surrounding an iuner and in their midst, tugging at the winches, the balloon, with its name, “Pioneer,” blazoned upon it. TH HOISTING APPARATUS. The gas is mavutactured on tue spot by a simple r process, which produces pure hydrogen at the of 60,000jcubic feet an hour, Beside the engiue stands an immet windlass, turnished with double inches in di 1,200 feet in The cable passes through a trough built in the din = boat torm to from ti rising tide then with versal joint and so con dy mever aud the balloon. it is considered of 20,000 pounds, Into it 1s woven a double te wire, which will add to the amusement of the aerouauts, The workmen have their meals and sleep within the enclosure. They have taken the greatest pride in theig labors, aud both the Professor and Mr. Vincent now pro- nounce the balloon to absolutely safe, complete in ail its equipment and “us pretty as a picture ROBBED IN THE STREET, James Myers, foreman of Dawson's tannery, in Newark, N.J., went to the office of the firm in Ferry street last evening and drew several hundred dollars to pay the men inthe tannery. He placed the Money in a pocketbook, which he cerried in bis wi pocket, and procveded down Ferry street, on wy to the tannery. When he reached the canal ©, Opposite Madison street, he was attacked by m capable of bearing & ruflang, one of whom threw red pepper in his es, which had the effeet of disabling him for the noment, and in the meantime they secured over $1,000, _ | talking with his wife . , ' FREAKS OF LIGHTNING. 4 RETROSPECY oF FATALITY AND DISASTER BY ELECTRICEPY——INSTANCES OF DEATHS THAT HAVE CCOURRED UNDER THE SHELTER OF TREES -THL DANGEROUS SEASON OF THE YEAR DEFINED. | A glance over the doings of ligh'ning and thunders | bolts will reveal several things, not the least impor- tant of which is that their deadliest touch is given between the latter part of May and the early part of | September and that there are fewer places more sus- ceptible to their visits or more dungerous than the | wrovcur shelter of trees and door porches or piazzas, When persons out im a ficld are caughs in a thunder storm their most natural | movement is toward @ tree for shelter, The few | | instances which foliow are taken from lust summer's records and the few weeks of the present season will explain clearly enough why they should not seek such sheiter. And the death of the little children of Mr. and Mrs. Wiswall, in Melrose, whose funeral will | tuke place from their p 8’ residence to-day, only | gives emphasis to the other cases. For instance, on | June 27 of last year Isadore Langden, of Montreal, Canada, while standing on the balcony of bis house aantly killed by light | ning, while Mrs, Langden escaped uninjured, On | the same day and during the same storm a little girl | named Farrell, ten years of age, was killed in a field, near Martintown, Ont, She had probably taken shelter under a tree, $ KILLED AT A PICNIC. On the last Fourth of July a German Lutheran | church, of Pittsburg, Pu., went to Ross’ Grove on @ | picnic, and while a party were seated pleasantly under a large oak the tree was shattered by light- ning, fell, and killed ten of the company at once and | injured fifteen, five of whom subsequently died, During the same storm hailstones us large #8 chest. nuts fell, rain fell copiously, and a flouring mill and stables attached were burned in the city of Pitts- burg; the Vesta Oil Works, at Negley’s Run, together with 80,000 barrels of oil, valued at $100,000, were destroyed, and a stable at East Liberty, Pa., cone taiming three horses, was consumed. Taking @ sweep eastward the same storm swept over New Lon- don, Conn., and yisited Thames Grove, seven miles north of the city, where u temperance picnic party were enjoying themselves. At the approach of the storm, naturally enough, everybody ran to the shele terof a tree. It was fatalto Mrs. Bridget Maxwell, for a fire ball fell from the clouds and struck the’ tree under which she took retuge, burned her body to acrisp and dug a hole six teet long and two or three feet deep and wide, into which her liteless re- mains fell. The ball exploded in its own made ditch with a report like a park of artillery. Two other women named Harris and Rogers were struck by the same bolt and paralyzed in their lower limbs, while alad named Kowe was obliged to walk home bare- foot and to patronize bis shoemaker. THE ELECTRIC FLUID IN CITIES. But the summer storms do not confine themselves to the country, As thig year so alse last year resi- dents ot New York were visited by the lightning stroke and hurried suddenly into eternity. While Edward White and Bernard Gray were working on the tower of the Central Presbyterian Church of this city, on the 10th of last July, the former was killed on a scaffold and fell sixty feet to the ground, receiv- ing an abrasion on his forehead, Gray’s clothing was scorched to a tinder, and the flesh on his breast, thighs and abdomen severely burned. Possi- bly the same storm took a southward and westward stride and tore down 130 feet of the untinished steeple of the Reformed Church at Hayerstown, Md.; tore up 500 feet of the track of the Cleveland and Wheeling Railroad, and killed John Hancock, a herder, and his horse, in a field afew miles from Camp Robinson, Neb. 1t must also have visited the North, probably before it came here, for it killed a boy named Wilkes in Fredericton, N. B., and aestroyed an unfinished broom factory a¢ Amsterdam, N. Y., burying nine workmen in the ruins, thrce of whom were fatally injured. Ad on the day previous Mr. Hezekiah Shailor, a member of the publishing house of Sheldon & Go., of this city, while on @ visit at Haddam, Conn., was killed by lightning, while a $4,000 barn belonging to Mr. D. T. Shailor was burned to the ground. Auother barn, belonging to Mrs. Parsons, at Somers, Conn., and two horses were burned, two mena attending them were stunned. But no one can account for the vagaries of the electric fluid, Last summer, on the 19th of July, it splintered ‘the flagstaff on’ the Produce Ex- change, then ran across the street and struck @ clerk in the office of Hughes, Hiscox & Co., slightly injuring him, It also ran down the smokestack of the Fulton ferryboat Uniou, passed to the engine | room and momentarily stopped the progress of the boat, but did no injury. A SUNDAY SCHOOL DISASTER, And as it has no respect for aye or sex, 80 neither has it any for days or occupations. While the Sun- day school children were gathering under a gospel tent in Philadelphia on Sunday, the 4th of august, 1878, the fatal fluid struck and followed the cdntre pole and instantly killed Mary Ann Elfrey, a lit | girlof ten years; tore the shoes off Willie Adams’ | feet and left b dest and otherwise injured, | Other children were thrown to the ground and stunned, including Mary Ann’s brother Willie and Willie Burns, another lad, who were severely ine jured. Mr. H. Conor, a teacher, was tossed like @ | ball from one part of the tent to the opposite and | slightly injured. WORKMEN KILLED. On the 16th of May, this year, John Durnell and Silas Moran, farm hands at work near Fredericks- | burg, Ind., took she.ter from an impending storm Under a tree, ss usual. Moran was thrown into the Blue River near by and killed. Durnell was found sitting upright at the base of the tree dead aise. | Three other persons were killed by the same storm at Lannside, Ind. On the 3ist of May, this year, Mr. P. P. Perry, of | Stephentown, N. Y., was killed by Lightning and a $2,000 barn belonging to Mr. A. J. Whitman destroyed. On Sunday, the Ist of June, William Putnam, @ canal driver, was killed at Mechanics ville, , and a man named Collins wag injured at Castleton, N. Y., the same afternoon, | James Kelly and Barzill Fenton, painters, were working on the cottage of Rev. George Clark, of ‘Tarrytown, at Asbury Park J., on the 6th of last month, when a storm cai on suddenly. They took shelter on the porch of the cottage, where bey were killed by the fiery fluid. Keliy’s shoes and stockings were burned clean off his fect and the flesh of his right shoulder crisped. Carpenters who were at work inside were stunned and the cottage was damaged to the amount of $500 to repair it, DESTRUCTION AND DEATH. On the 1th ot June last a storm passed over Ohio, Indiana and parts ot Kentucky. Its force took @ direction north and south, It struck several dwell. ings in Salem, Ind., and killed Daniel Alitchell, who had ran under a tree for sh And # couple of Sundays ago, June 15, at P ness Village, N, J., while Albert Smith and his son were trying to spread @ piece of tin over the root of an extension to his house to keep the rain out, they Were struck by lightning. The father was instantly killed and the son stun Whea Mr. Smith was examined it wag found that his. clothing had not been injured in the least degree and that the only evidence of injury on his body was @ blue sulphurons streak down bis back, parallel with the spine and close to it. REPUBLICAN SORGANIZATION, A meeting of the Executive Committee of the Re+ publican Central Committee of this city and county was held last evening in Republican Hall, Colonel Joel W. Mason presidiug. There was a full attend- ance of members. Jacob M. Patterson, Jr., from @ sub-committee to whom was referred the subject of reorganizing the different Assembly districts agrees ably to the new apportionment, submitted a report, which, after @ long discussion and « ‘few amendments was adopted. It is proposed to establish new republican associations in the several ers at such places as may An election isto be held tor permanent officers of the associations unier the supervision of actin officers, As the boundaries of the first district am the Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth wards are uns changed, the new arrangement does not apply to the associations in those districts, A sub-committee of seven was ordered to be appointed to carry out the details of the new programme and to consider the question of merging the Kingsbri Association with the Twenty-fourth Ward Soaie: tion, The Executive Committee recommended that an election for delegates to organize a new central comnuttwe be heid at some time to be hereafter de termined. LEFT AT LONG BRANCH. New York, June 28, 187% To THe Eprron or tHr Henatp:— The steamer Adelaide seems to be regularly ads vertised to make excursions to Long Branch, There are many citizens who have been waiting anxiously for nearly two weeks to hear {rom those who man- age tae boat. On Tue » 17th inst., the Adelaide was advertised to make two excursions—morning and afternoon—to Long Branch, She made the morning trip, landing at hail-past twelve at the pier, and the captain assured those who landed that he would return at seven o'clock, After waiting pa- tiently until long after that hour we were informed by two gentlemen who arrived by rail that the steamer would not return—thereby leaving more than one hundfed passengers to get home as best they could, We did not receive one word of explana tion, by telegraph or otherwise, and have not since, Among the passengers thits left were many women Acnildren and thirteen who had not the means to pay for a railroad ticket and would have been left the beach had not the passengers themselves hell them through, hope you will pubiish the above that the public may be ciutious about buying exeu sion tickets until they know they are dealing wit responsible parties, and also that it may bring out ome explanation of the conduct of those who rum | the steamer Adelaide, PASSENGER,
