Judge Lott occupied the chair. Alter the reading
OF the minutes OF the previous meeting the Judge

He said that the people OF the suburbs were willing
to pay for such necessities Water, Fire and PO-
lice Departments, but they could not afford such
Injuries as parks Just now parks are left ont OF
the assessments then they would gladly come in.
The day was not far distant he believed, when not
only the whole of Kings county but also the cOun-
ties OF Queens and Suffolk would be included in the
limits OF Brooklyn. He even went so far in the
stretch OF imagination as to Opine that great New
York would soon be found knocking at the doors Of

Commission adjourned to meet this afternoon,
when the substitute Of Judge Lott Will be voted

SAD CASE OF SUICIDE.
Arrest OF n Druggist.

Yesterday morning Coroner Young was called to
No. 21z Macdougal street to investigate the cir.
cumstances attending the death OF Mrs. Margaret
Hammer, German woman thirty-two years of
age who died on Sunday morning from the effects
OF dose OF poison she had taken the night pre-.
vious, with suicidal intent. On Saturday morning,
after Mr.. Hammer left home, it appears his wife
was waited upon by a rank swindler, who repre-.
sented that he was President OF Ger
man association OF which Mr. Hammer was
member. The villain 1urther gained the conf
dence or Mrs. Hammer oy representing that ne had
procured for her husband situation as watchman
IN store down town at salary OF nearly 500
month but that $50 security was necessary. Mrs.
Hammer. believing the story, gave the fellow the
required amount; but later in the day learned that
she had been swindled. Mr.. Hammer found fault
with his vile for parting with the money, at which
sue e so bad that proceeding TO the drug store OF
w. H. Becker, No. 234 spring street, she procured
nail an ounce or arsenic under the preJence that
II was to be used for killing rats. Procuring the
poison, Mrs hammer prepared and swallowed a
uose Oh IL w1th the result stated. Mr.. Becker was
subsequently arrested by Captain Williams OF the
Eighth precinct, Ior violating the law in relation
to the sale OF poisons, and Coroner Young released
him on bail. Deputy Coroner Marsh yester rday
afternoon made an autopsy the body of Mrs.
Hammer, and found that death resulted from
CASTRO enterltis, caused by the poison.

WHY SHOULD MURpERERs EsCAPE7
} the EDITOR OF TnE HERALp:-

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
In perusing your issue OF the HERALD of Sunday.
7th inst. was surprised on reading the letter OF
@. Smith in behalf OF the prisoner Stokes who
now lies in the Tombs charged with the murder Of
James FISK. Icannot keep silent on the matter,
though shall but feebly express my own feelings.
besides representing the views OF the vast ma
jority ofour law abiding citizens. only hope that
my humble effort in trying to expose the attempt
about to be made in order to gain the sympathy Of
the public on behalf OF Stokes shall be successful.
or That it will at least call forth tire opinions OF
some OF our citizens on the case showing that
though we do live IN an age when men have to
obey women more than sometimes is healthy, we
also 1--we in an age when woman cannot tamper
at will with the highest ofilces in our land-I mean
our courts OF justice. The writer asks the uues
ton what benefit II will be to New York n they do
claim the life Of Stokes as penalty fer the lie OF
his victim, but seems TO forget that though the loss
may not be great, we will be obeying the
commands OF q higher authority than either @.
smith or even the highest Court in our land that
he that sheddeth mans blood by man shall his
blood be shed. 1t was u woman brought Stokes to
where he now stands, and think il iii becomes
woman now TO interfere on his behalf By publish
ing this you will oblige an OLD SUBSCRIBER.
