for occupation, ana the opening was celebrated
by grand ball and supper. Four months later,
what was then known as Orange street, on the
east side, between Grand and Broome, was
changed In name to Centre Market place, which it
still retains. About the same time kynders street
was changed to Centre, so as to correspond with
the name OF the market, which was in 1870 great
depot OF supplies Tor citizens. Years before this
period petition was presented to the Board OF
Supervisors by the foreman and thirty members OF
Fire Engine Company No. 40, then located In Mul-
berry street. stating they were residing
In thickly populated part OF the city
and praying that bell be placed
In the steeple OF the market The cost OF the bell
was $55, and the request was granted. In the lat
ter part OF 1853 another addition 80 feet wide and
30 feet high was erected and joined TO the building
on Centre Market place at an expense o. $4,000.
ARMORIEs AND DRILL ROOMS
In 1889 the market was the only public building
in the city available for drilling the militia.
The rooms were divided up among sew
eral regiments, including the Sixth, Eighth
and Seventy-lr and on one occasion,
while the Eighth was marching at cadence step,
the floor suddenly broke away and sunk many
inches. II was then, as stated before, abandoned
for regmental drill purposes Some Of the upper
rooms were at one time occupied as q station
house. The military again obtained possession,
which they retained until 1867. The upper part
OF the building is to be once more occupied by the
National Guard. During the past year good
many vacant stalls have been rented and the reve-
nue. has consequently considerably increased.

THE UNCTUOUs OsTRANDER.

Bogus Collector for CITY Charities
Brought to Grief-Judge Dowling's .
Memory Again.
Yesterday afternoon man giving his name as
Henry Ostrander, attired in clerical garb and pre-
senting a most favorable appearance, was ar
raigned before Justice Bowling on a charge OF
imposture.
Mr.. Ostrander bears striking resemblance to
Henry Ward Beecher, Is demure in feature, tall of
stature with long, flowing locks and an exterior
every way calculated to inspire confidence in any
representations he might choose to make to the
charitably inclined. Presuming on these aids
he entered the office OF. John T. Talmadge,
ITO Water street. on the 18th OF August last, and
informed that gentleman that he was the chaplain
of the Water street mission and was organizing an
excursion for the benefit Of the little waits in his
care.
Mr. william E. Dodge had already, he said,
subscribed $500 for the purpose Of giving the
children little fresh air, but the cost of trans
portation would absorb that amount A
vide clothing, refreshments and other
little etceteras Of which Messrs. William
Mr.. Tamadge, not to be out done by his neignbors,
and feeling for the little ones at home, generously
contributed s. TO the good work, and Mr..
supposed he has been operating largely on the
charities OF the well disposed but escaped detec-
JlOu unJll now. On the ZOCn Oh November ne called
on Mr.. Barring, of 46 South street, and this
time figured as the Rev. Mr.. schoonmaker, Of the
Water street mission, as usual, ON charitable mis-.
sion intent He was getting up little Thanks
giving dinner for the 'little ones" and casually
mentioned the names Of several prominent citi-
zens who had come forward generously in aid OF
the project. Mr.. Barng at once advanced $40,
apologizing to his clerical visitor for the small
amount and feeling really ashamed OF the petty
sum he had offered.
Since then Mr.. Barling discovered that the Rev.
Mr.. SchOonmaker was myth and took steps to have
his career arrested Officer Hogan, OF the Sixth
precinct, was put on his track and the pseudo
reverend SchoOnmaker, alias Ostrander, was
raiRned before Justice bowling
