DILITOBT rEHPABATlONS AT CENTEAL PABE?
TUK BUOOKLYNITE8 ALBKADY ENJOT1NQ THE
?>POBT?BRILLIANT SEASON ANTICIPATED.
Tbo prorpects for the comtng skating season were
generally discussed ycMerday and the evident revival
of enthusiasm among lover* of the bracing and beauti
ful exercise commented upon. A tour of tbe various
ponds In tuit city and Brooklyn yesterday showed
that tbo season can no longer bo spoken ol u* "obta
in y," but is actually now in progress, und bids lair to
be tbe most brilliant experienced for many years.
AT t'SNTK.U. PAKE.
At tbo commencement of last week tbe outlook for
(he skating season ou the Central Park ponds was poor
indeed. There wes no money in tbe public treasury
applied for tbo winter recreation ot the people, und
without money there would be no staling. The diffi
culty was at leugtb overcome and tbe tunds provided,
and yesterday a lorce ol carpenters and olbor workmen
were busily employed In the Central Park lu
getting tbe temporary buildings tu order. Tbo
houses arc put together In sections and at
tbo end ol each season are taken down and
stored away lor tbe next. By this arrangement
economy is secured and lime saved In tbetr erection.
It is thought that by tbo eud of tbe week everything
will be ready lor tbo lull uud free luduigenco of the
Skaters. Everything this Centennial year has been
done on a large scale, und why may not skating be en
tared on the catalogue tor u ILrsl prize In tbe skating
records! It is not unreasonable to expect that, at least,
tho average thirty-four day season wilt he reached.
SKATING in urooklyx.
Tbeio are In tbo City of Churches strong ovidencos
on every liand of n revival of interest In tho healthful
and exhilarating sport ol skating, and thero is every
reason to believe that the cutters ol pig< ou wiugs ? 1.1
enjoy themselves during the present winter us they
havo not douo since tho noble exercise began to dc
Cliue In popular favor, eight or ion years ago. Tbe
Brooklyn belles and beaux wore then reckoned
Among the most gruceiul und expert skat
ers In the country, and that city
was one of tho llrsl to build und equip u handsome
rink for tbe accommodation ot those who loved to un
lay the sport, sheltered front tho rude winds which
frequently sweep tho outdoor ponds. The recent ea
Ismity will, no doubt, Indirectly help to itiuku sk ding
popular during tins win tor, inasmuch as a very large
number of young ladies will be tearful of trust
ing themselves within other such liaps as the
Brooklyn Theatre while tho memory ol the dis
aster is fresh in tbetr utinds, uuu will, consequently,
with their escorts, spend under the stars und lu tho
wholesome, bracing winter uir many un ovcuiug which
would otherwise be passed in* tbo stilling und perm
clfus atmosphere ol somo ill ventilated place of amuse
ment. Besides a rink und the extensive lakes at Pros
pect Park, upon which all are tree to glide when the ice
w ill salely bear their weight, the Bri oklyniies have
two large and well kept sheets of ice, upon the Cuplto
liue and Uulou Base Bull grounds respectively, which
flooded at the Ursi approach of Irost. The
weather continued so warm duriug November und lue
first week ot tbe present uioutb that the proprietors
had grown despondent, und given up watching lor tlie
?pprouch ol King Frost, who wus overdue us loug as
liie distinguished captive, \\ illlam M. Tweed, was
wheu tbo Franklin arrived. So lUut wheu his (rigid
royalty an ived u tow days ago they were rather taken
by surprise, und wero not ready to receive In in in a
liyle such us their previous preparations would seoui
lu warrant. 'Hie truth is that w hen the thermometer
wont down with such a rush on Thursday lust the
thoughts of every one In the churchly oily wore
fa-tuned upon Ihu hurrilic scene being enacted among
the smoking ruins ol the tll-laicd tin ntre, aud which
seemed to develop Iresli horrors every hour. The
I'npitoliue Pond, however, hoisted us dug on Thursday,
and was patronized by those who had spirit enough to
shake oil tho oppressive gloom sulllcleutly tu seek
relief In tlieir luvorllo exercise. The weather lias
continued so favorublo since that day that a splen
did surface Is now obtained?one which will
tic; v tho warm sun ol sovcr.il "thawing'1 days, should
they come. Yesterday the piond named wus well pu
trou I zed all day, a very large proportion ol tho visitors
bciug ladies; and In the eveuiug it was Illuminated,
.end despite tho slight lull ol snow, was crowded
throughout the evening. The Uniou pood was in splen
did order yesterday morniug, its gates wete thiown
open at an eariy hour, aud the attendance duriug the
day and evening \ru> very large.
AT FKOSPNCT I'ARK.
The largest and finest skat tog ponds on Loot; Island
are those of l'rospecl 1'ark. 1 tieso are cureluity kept
hy the olQctala uud are usually tho llret to be turowu
open to the public. This season, however, they
aro not ready, owing to ibo lace that tome
11mo since tbu authorities dccidud to tear uovrn the
one story plain boarded house oh the edge of the hike,
devoted to the uccoiiiinoduliou of tbe boatmen in sum
mer and given over to i tio uro of skaters in winter,
and to erect in its sieud u new and more lustelul struc
ture to serve ibo sauio ends. The old liuild'Ug wns
pulled down and work begun upon tbe new one, but
it has not yet been completed, and the I'ark Com
missioners have Issued strict orders to allow 110
one to saaio tbere until tbe house ahull have been
IIDished. The large Ifike, however, is now being
cleared, and will be opened temporarily 10 the public
011 Wednesday. When tbo building snail be (Unshod
the small 1-ke w ill oe put in order, and the skaters
will have to retlro to it, m tbu large lake is roscrved
(or the use o( ice bouts, base Oall, curling, &c.
There will be a game ot base ball played there on
Saturday afternoon, and there will probably be several
curling matches this week.
C.N ION POND.
This pond has for many years been a prointneu! placo
?f resort lor tbu Vvilhamsburgorc, it buiug located just
within tho borders oi the Eastern District. It was
opened to the public yesierdav, and the attendance
was such us to juslily the expectation that tbo nrosetil
season will be one of the must brilliant aud suecessiul
experienced lor many vtare. Every preparation has
been made to ronder the sport as enjoyable us possiblo
by rendering the cuiiuitioua nrsl cluss 111 every respect,
aud there Is no doubt tbe public will repay tbe cost by
a hearty putrouuge. ,
CAI'ITOLINK I.AKK.
The skating on this wetl-kuown lake is excellent
and has been lor more than a Weuk. The attcuounco
Is quite numerous, especially of ladles. Tina is ul
ways the Ural lake iu Ibis vicinity to put up the signal
(or skating, owing to the shallowness of the water, it
not oeme more than from twuiV* to tilleu Incbes ucop
In the dce|iest part. Consequently u bigger risk cuu
bo taken, us the smallest child that uses skates coutd
hot get urowlied it 11 were to break through.
TDK KINK.
The Rink on Clermont uveuae on the iiill, wbleh bas
not been used lor the purpose lor wulcU 11 was erected
during ibe past two years, is being altered to serve Its
original purpose tins winter, the Hours which were
been laid uowu during lis occupuncy us u summer gar
den, us u prize ring, a temple lor Moody and San key
and a political wiguum, have been removed, and a glit
tering sheet of ice will soou take Its place.
On the whole, lirooklyn offers great advantages to
the lovers ot skatiug, and the spoil will linil ns many
loltowets and its higuer lorms as brilliant exponents
there as in any cuy lu the Cnlon.
BEATING IN 1UE PASES.
To tus Editor of tuk Murald:?
As the weuthcr, but not 1110 I'ark funds, Is favorable

AMUSEMENTS.
EDWIN BOOTH A3 OTHELLO.
?'Othello" was played last night at the Lyceum
Tbeatro before a very well pleased audience. It Is
oue of the moat di(11 cult of all Shakespeare's plays,
"llamlct" might be said to play Itself, so rich ts It lu
philosophy and poetry, but "Othollo" is lull of pas
sion, aud Illustrates frequently the celebrated
step from the sublime to the ridiculous.
Othello Is not generally considered oue of the best
of Mr. Edwin Booth's personations, yet It has been
greatly Improved recently. It is original, poworiul,
lull of delicacy, and ho makes the great point of ex
pressing love rather than bate. Mauy Oibcllos make
the mistake of subordinating their love to their jeal
ousy. Mr. Booth does not. Tho passlou of
Othello surpasses oven that ot Borneo, and
It Is probably tho most profound emo.
noual tragedy that Sbakespearo ever wrote.
Mr. Booth has greatly Improved his personation. It
lias more breadth and power than it possessed In for
mer years. In tliu third act be was particularly Ado.
Tiie exquisite soliloquy, "oh, now forever furt-wcll the
trunquil mind!" was beaultlully read, and coutrastod
powerfully with the subsequent reaction against iugo,
which the tragedian guru with Intense power. Tho film
act, which is in Itself a tragedy, was magnificently
ucied, and the now cllccts which Mr. Booth intro
| (lured woio enthusiastically received. He wus called
bcloro the curtuin again and again. To-night he will
| uppcar as Iago.
The performance wa9 generally good. Mr. Frederic
Robinson gave a very spirited representation ol lugo,
which was only injured by cxcosslvo force, and Mr.
Uardio gratified us with a photograph ol the serious
phases of Cassio's character. Miss Clara Jennings was
u very ogrccablo Desdeuiona, aud Eiulha was effec
tively reudcrod by Miss Jennie Carroll.
STEINWAY hall*
An cntortainment was glveu iu behalf of the sufTorers
from tho Brooklyn Theatre fire last evening at Stein
way Ilall. The following wus the programme:?
1. Quartet, "How can 1 Leave Thee," Gruvter, Wtllio
Uryunt, Hurry Work, Kminett Brew and Y. J. Brow.

Shannon. 3. Cradle song. Gottschalk. Master
Gusicr ltelchold. 4. Humorous song, "O Mother

Quartet, "t'orao Where My Love," Foster, Masters
llryaut. Work, Kminett and T! J. Drew. 7. "Blngea

ous sung, "Low llack'd Car," Lover, Muster Thomua
Christy. 'J. Ftunle to act second ol "Alula," Verdi,
Master Tbomus J. Brew, assisted by young gcntluuien
ot tho Voung Apollo Club. The cuieriummcnt was
glveu by boys in tho cause of a worthy charity, and
cannot therefore be criticised.
UERMANIA THEATRE.
"Dor Zigeuner" (The Gipsy) and "Helnrlch IXcine"
were tho two comedies presented last evening at tne
German la Theatre. "Helnrlch Hcino" aflords a vivid
picture of ccrtutn repulsive social phases ot German
lile which are us true ot the Vallcrlaud of to-day as
they were lilty years nam. The rich Jewish hanker
still looks down upon the poor impractical struggling
pout quite as much us Home's uncle deBplsed his
genius cf a nephew. Mels' comedy introduces, be
sides, some original and intensely comical cnsracters,
such as lllrsch, tho Jewish chiropodist and lottery
ageut. Mr. Frcemuu played this part with u
realism aud truth worthy of the highest praise.
Thu cupidity, cunning and dry huuior ol the caustic,
covetous, money-grubbing Jew wero never more
laughably and strikingly portrayod. Herr Kudelburg,
who essayed the part ot Heine. Is usually a good
actor, but lie sufTcredTrom a sickly, mawkish style
which suggested only the silliness and not tho natural
grandeur of thu poet.
AUT MATTERS.
THE SEABUdY COLLECTION.
There was placed 011 exhibition at the Kurtz Gallery,
j yesterday, uamuil but valuable collection of pictures
preparatory to tbelr sale at public auction. There
are in all somo eighty pictures, tho majority belong
ing to Mr. Charles Suabury, ot Boston, and some lew
to Mr. Wolff; of New York. There aro very few poor
pictures In this collection, and thore aro sumo
remarkable ones. Among tbeso is a very oxcellent ex
ainplo cf the lamented /.amatols, whose "Court Jesters
Playing ut Cards" is an excellent sample of his work
and his peculiar humor. It Is a very strongly painted
work and Is highly liuislicd. "A Harbor View," by
Vollon, is a remarkably strong work, soinowhat pecu
liar in colur. Mudrazo's ?'Coquette" has tho mastorly
boldness ot touch which distinguishes this artist, but
this cunvus is n little crudo in color. There is a lino
Cnlatne, "the Hums ol Ptestam," winch probably
suggested to Church Ins "Parthenon" picture, but is
handled with much greater strength and subtlety.
Comoro is preseuled iu a tuirly slroug work, "Alter
the Masquerade." It is cleverly panned, the tired out
group Deinir well imagined and carefully d/awu.
"Maternal Admiration," ' y Uougereau, la a very line
example ul thai artist. It Is bcuutiful in color. The
grouping is natural and easy?tho woman Is really
usllgntcd with the perloriuance ot tho httlo urchin
she holds oil her knee Vtborl la represented by a
well pulutod and highly linishod work, "Suspense."
Tho color Is rich and the panning ul remarkable solid
ity. Houghton is reprosoutod i>y "The Matchers;"
there is about this work a very interesting sentiment,
but beyond this very little else. "Ilio hUnUard
Hearer, ' by l.osrol, is'good in color but very poor iu
drawing. It luriilsbes a strung contra-1 with ilio ad
mirable bit of canvas by lieiaille representing an
incident in the sioge ot Puns, in winch the
artist himself is an actor. Two soldiers are on the
skirmish line lying down. One ol thein is In the uct
ol Uriiig nod the other lias his hand at Ins cartridge
box and Is about to take out a cartridge. Uutli figures
are very natural. There is nocxaggcratiou, no seeking
a:ier ctlocl. Tho figure tu the foreground is u portrait
of the artist, who served as a soluier during
"The Siege ol Paris." The two largest works are tho
"Midnight on the Ocean" ol W. K. Norton, and
Becker's "Kruns von I.lckcugen taking leave ol the
liishop of Hamburg and Adelaide of Waldorf," wlitch
w is exhibited some years ago Iu Goupil'a Gallery. The
collection is well worth a visit; it will remain 0|>cn to
tin' public until the l.Mli ol Docember, when it will bo
ollercd at auction.
DRESS IN THE PUDLIC SCHOOLS.
To TBI KdITOR or THK II Kit.! LI":?
I beg leara to add to tbe communication of some six
weeks since some further Information which 1 bavo
gathered upon the prevalence of dress In our public
schools, and find that II nuy reform is to be hoped for
it must begin with desiring the commissioners of the
schools, wheu engaging the teachers, to require ol
tticrn, as do the principals ol many private
school* in this oily, a decent plainness Iu
dress. In some of the mure lashlonablo schools,
wbero too children of tho better circumstanced of
our citl/ens attend, some of the teachers wear silk
gowns. Jewelry, even diamonds, rings, kc., and elabo
rate liair dressing. In franco a teacher's dress in
Protestant s< hools Is a black alpaca dress; in the
Catholic, some black stsO, and white coliura ami
< ulis. li would bo a saving of a teacher's salary, thus
heiiciitibg both teacher mid pupil. Tito frenzy for
flue clonu s iu our women, whether domestics or bno
ladies, is something unknown in the older civilized
countries, where, as It was in the curlier days of our
Kepublic, economy u still taught and prac
tised us a virtue. When oao returns
from a visit to Europe and enters New York
streets he wonders why everybody is so
dressed up. Thin extravagant demand lor llncry in
dross sad equipage is one ol the principal Onuses of
domestic embarrassment, and the disbonosty in po
sitions ol trust slid conlideuco !0 frequently disclosed
may olten be traced to Hits caste. Tho seeds ol this
vulgar and most mischievous growth are sowu in
childhood. It would seem proper that At leuat
ill the schools all should be or seem equal,
and the republican virtues ol plainness and
simplicity impressed upon the young by both ex
ample and precept. This can only be done by requir
ing un Inexpensive, neat and ample dross on both
teacher ana pupil. It would eaaole the children ol the
poor to attend without tearing the scorn ol their richer
neighbors, and lucilnate the tusk lor the good women
in each ward to provide suitable attire lor such children
n- are not able to get It lor themselves, without tho
knowledge ol too other, thus m..king them equal Id
the school. There is. however, 111 this tttty a lamenta
ble want ol primary schools; of grammar schools
there are ahuudauco. but were it nut ior the charity
schools one hall ul tbe children (obliged by law logo
to school) could nut Und place. Why should this be y <

TO OO BEHIND THE BETUHNS TO BE CLEAB
AND INDISPUTABLE.
Richmond, Dee. 0,1876.
To the Editor or tbb Herald:?
Fivo or fix days ago 1 received a letter from your
correspondent asking my opinion as to the duties of
tho two bouses of Congress in counting tho electoral
voted (or President. 1 waa much engaged at the time,
aud bavmg boon long out of tbo political world I thought
It beat to leave It to otbera more actively engaged In
polilica to discuss ihcae questions, and not to withdraw
my attention Irotu other manors w hich engage me
just now. But the question is becoming so Important
and portentous tbat it baa occurred to me tbia morn
ing that no good citizen should withhold bis opinion
on this subject If asked. It "tbo bcglnniug
ol tho end" baa not already occurred In tbo
outrage on popular rights wbieh baa been recently
commuted by the President and other officials in three
of the weaker States, It Is time ihut the lovers ol pop
ular sovereignty uud our old lorin ol government wero
uniting to interpose lor the defence ol the Union aud
tbo right ol the people to govern themselves and
elect their own President, llow this can De preserved
without the right of Congress to go behind the returns
of Presidential electors and ascertain tbo number of
voles, uud how cast in the recent election, 1 do not
well see. If it bo tho duly ol Cougress to "count" the
voles given lor President, they ccrtatuly must have
tho power to ascertain those whom they are to
count; and how are they to do this unless
hey buvo the power to go behind the re
turns? U la thu e&clusivo Interest ol tho State
to know if tho voters wero qualitled, hut
Tho whole people Ol the United Stales uro interested
to know bow- muny votes were cast and to what per
sons given, lor there uru facts which touch the ques
tion of the oleotiun of tbo President, who is tho officer
ol all. Who so 111 to examine Into those questions, it
doubllul, as thu Congress who are the united repre
BCiitativus of the whole people? How else are the peo
ple to bo mtido ccrtuiu a* to the man truly elected to
tliut most important ol all these offices?
A POWER IK MJT OIVRN I.N TKRHS TO HE I Ml* UUD.
II there be no mode ol reacbiug these
results unless there bo power la Cougress to go
butuud the returns the inlcrcticu is not only
fair but necessary that such a power is to bo implicit.
To muko mis an plication equal to tbe exigency it is
requisite; nut to vest this power in Cou
gress, which represents the whole peoplo iu
times ol deep popular excitement, or o! utter corrup
tion iu u State, a strong temptation to return this vuio
lalsely might exist in u particular Stale, wuen, as at
present, a siug'o electoral voie might cnaiige tbo chur
ucier ol thu President and ol Executive policy. Times
may bu upprelieuded when tlieio might be danger ol a
state yie.diug to such a temptation it'the opportunity
were jivcn it with power in I he Congress to ueteel
and prevent It- II tbe power does not exist now la
Congress there Is none to prevent or check such an
abuse II the Ntato were to couuive ut It. To learn the
question of tune in this matter uuder the supreme
control ol thu representatives of tlio whole people, the
constitution provides that "tho Congress may ueter
mino the tune ol choosing the electors uud the duy of
giviug their votes, wmcn day shall be the same
throughout tho United States" (fourth section, second
article).
A WIDE SCOPE OP CONGRESSIONAL POWERS.
But Ihut Congress may pass such laws as snail ena.
bio it to count the vole ol the Presidential electors is
plain from tho provision that it may make all laws
which are uecos.-ary and proper for carrying into exe
cution tbe loreeuing powers aud all oilier powers
vested by the constitution Iu tho government ol thu
Uulted. .Stales, or iu uuy department or office thereof.
It may not only pass all laws necessary or proper to
execute the gruntod powers, hut puss such as may bo
uecossury to discharge u grunted duty or necessarily
supplementary to execute a function whore tho grant
Is not of Kscit complete in terms. Under this power
Congress may make the laws which aro necessary to
enubie It "to count the vole. " As all
tho States are interested In counting truly
tho voto for President, so tbat duty and tho
inuans necessary to discharge 11 ought lo bo couGdcd
to the Cougress ol .the whole. Thu place ol "> astuig"
the vole lor tbe Slate, and perhaps "tbe manner" of
doing it, most peculiarly concerns the State itself, to
wboin, perhaps, it would bo proper to conllco those
duties, hill to ascertain who are legally chosen as elec
tors is tbe peculiar duty of Congress, which cannot bo
executed uuu ss it has
TIIB RIGHT TO OO BXIIIXD THE RECORDS.
1 hold, ihero ore, that it is not only their right but
their duly, II it be necessary to do bo; It that be neces
sary to enable them to know who are entitled to cost
tho votes tor i resident. Tbo highest of all rights
which a Legislature possesses is to provldo ngalnst an
archy, It, without such action, it would ensue.
Could anything bo more likely to lead to this
than a contested Presidential elcctiou without
the means to settla it truly und justly? If
the right ol seii-detonce, to protect your
lilc, be a law or nature, is not tho right to defend the
lite of society, tho existence of u Stale, still more un
doubted? For all these reasons I believe llie right of
Congioss to go behind the records Is indisputable, and
do not think it uecessary to Investigate the question us
to tlieexistonce ol the jolut rule which some seem to
think so important. Tbo right ol Congress to go
"behind the records" to ascertain whom they are to
count 1 hold to bo Indisputable and louudcd upon
higher considerations than those of rulo. It is a
question which touches tbo peace and existence ot tho
country which tbe constitution Itself affords the
means ot docidiu^ Very respectfully,
R. II. T. HUNTER,
THE PRESIDENTIAL BETTING.
The excitement among those Interested, following the
announcement that Morrissey As Co. had "declared off"
all pools bought at their place on the geueral result ot
the Presidential election, atill continues. Not alone
is tlio feverish condition of the betting pulse observed
at the pool marta In this city, but In hotels and the
scores of other places where tbu fraternity are wont to
dally congregate, the subject Is wurtniy discussed.
As to the right ot Morrissey & Co. to take
the step they have, there are many opinions. Belting
men are, human, aud, therefore, a little selfish, so
those who aro getting the best of the bargain by tho
decision in question feel very jubilant, while others
denounce It in unmeasured terms. A tour yesterday
alteruoon among those who inako this sort ot specula
tion a means of livelihood, and those of a sporting turn
of mind who "llxe to bo a littlo interested" In every
event of ehance, gave the curious-minded an Idea of
the leellng In the case.
MOKRISSKT At CO.'s ACTIOX 1IEXOUSCKD.
Said one prominent belling Individual wno generally
has the luside track of every guod tnlng, "Why, by
what right do Morrissey At Co. assume to become tho
judges in this matter? Who gives tho pool seller the
authority to take such a stand? It isa lunny thing,
and there can be no other reason to my mind than they
were lorced to do It to protect themselves Irom serious
losses. Never lu tho lilsiory ol pooling lu this
country bavo parties thus holding money in trust
dared to commit such n high handed outrage. The
proper authorities at Washington mast decide this
matter, aud my money will be lost or won by tbal de
cision."
TUB OTHER POOL SELLERS.
Such Is the samplo ol the poul room talk, take It for
what It is worth. as for the influence which Morris
sey A Co. 's action will hnvo upon tho Johnsons and
Keliy, Bliss t Co., the other large pool sellers,
it is h* yet difficult to determine. From
excellent authority, these Arms aro In un unplcasunt
predicament. All reports to tho contrary notwith
standing, at least ouo ol the llrms "cannot see by what
authority Morrissey .V Co. have decided how the money
deposited In trust with them shall go." Nor could tn'o
sumo individual imagine why "thev eolieel the iwo
per con t com mission when he is aro 'declared off.
Not until tho decision of Morrissey & Co. hsd a single
ouo ol tho buyers called upon him 10 dis
cuss the question of drawing his money. But sinoo
thru they buvo had numerous rails upou the subject,
aud threats of suits come thick and lust. Thus it Is
held lucre must ho trouble w ncn iliu 4 h of March
comes. 1'nlc-aa all bcls ure, meanwhile, "off," the
holder of a winning ticket will want his money, and he
must be paid. "But. suppose," continued tho pool
sollcr, "the loser also comes in with Ins card mid
says, 'Oivo mo that,' then something liko the follow
ing must occur:?
?What will I do that lor?'
'Why, Morrissey A: Co. declared all bets off, and yon
should.'
"That's tho way It will work, and the same annoy
ance will lie experienced Irom Maine to California, mark
my words."
No OM-iy non-hotting man can eually see that tharo
Is a pretty squabble brewing between the pool buyers
und the poid sellers, the llrst scene in which will doubt
less be wituesscd at tho tinging up of the curtains ihia
evening at the rooms ol Jobuion .V Co. uud Keliy,
BIB" Co., when the meetings ol ticket holders, called
by them to consider and discuss this iuiportaut matter,
are called to order.

THE RYE TRAGEDY.
DEATH OF THE BITBOLAB bHOT BY lOCMO
OBEACEAM?HE BE1U8ED TO INK) JIM OK HIS
cosfekebaTes.
The burglar who was shsl while robbing the house of
Mr. John Greaccun, at Rye, Westchester county, about
miuuight on Saturday, and who subsequently gave bis
name as George Kcisor. died in Whito Blaine Jail on
Sunday evomug after sullering intense agony from his
wounds. lie resolutely rciused to the last to state who
bis coniederates wero or to divulgo anything that
might lead to his own identity. While sinking rapidly
on Sunday afternoon be sent lor Deputy SheriU Craig,
and told him be could Hud several pawn tickets
by ripping the lining of his (Keisor's) vest Among
the tickets lound was oue which represented u cost
pawned May 22 for (4 AO, also oue of a shawl pledged
at Simpson's, In the Bowery, on December 2 lor $0.
On boiug asked by the Deputy Sherifl to atato to
whom these articles belonged, the dying inau only re
plied by a shake of the head to Intimate that he ro
lusud to tell At bis request Iter. Father l|:Klroy was
called in, and from him tbo dying man received the
last rites ot the Church. He died almost immediatsly
afterward.
Among tho effects found on the deceased were a
silver hunting cuso watch, having the letters "M. M."
engraved on tho front case; a patty knife, such as is
used ny glaziers, and what is believed to have been
used by the deceased iu opening window sashes; also a
postal card bearing tho printed designation of a Ger
man assoctuliou in New York. The caru was partially
torn, and was addressed to Lot d berg," in this
city.
TI1K INQUEST.
At the Coroner's inquest tho principal witness was
F.dwsrd J. Greucean, who shot the burglar, and whose
lesiiuiouy mainly corroborated the account of
tho utlair us published in the Hkkald last
Sunday. It also appeared from the evideuco
that me liou:-c of Mr. Greucean bad been entered lu the
night tlinu by burglars some mouths ugo, when pistol
shuts were exchanged with tuo intruders, who suc
ceeded in milking good tueir escape. 1 his was tlio
reason why young Mr. Great-can had concluded to keep
a leaded shot gnu near his bed at night. A verdict ol
Justifiable killing was promptly rendered by the Jury.
Ill response to u telegruin sent by silicr-tl Car
penter to ucling Superintendent Dilks yesterday
alu-raoon an oillcur was sent from Police Headquarters
to White Plains fur the purpose of Ideutilyinsr, il pos
sible-, ilia dead burglar; but the detectivo lulled to
reuoguist the remains. It Is coulidcuiiy believed,
however, that the deceased, who hail lost his right
eye, was a thief who lntd formerly figured in ll'.c Six
teenth ward. The renin.ui, II out claimed by relatives,
will be buried by llie Westchester couuty authorities.
