A NOVEL SEIZURE.

FIFTY FEET OF ATLANTIC AVENUE, BROOKLYN,
CLAIMED AND FENCED IN AS PART OF THE
cowENHovEN EsTATE-RAILRoAD TRAVEL M
PEDED.
somewhat novel case came up in Brooklyn yester-
day and owing to the peculiar method adopted by the
Sherirs officers led to considerable excitement Some
years ago action was brought in the Supreme Court
against the city to strip of land which now
forms part of Atlantic This ground was and
is claimed by Mrs Louisa Strong and Margaret r.
Cowenhoven. The verdict was for the city and the
plaintiff carried the case up TO the Court Of Ap-
peas, where the judgment of the Court be-
low was reversed. The land thus awarded to
the plaintiffs 1t is strip 800 feet long, beginning fifty
feet OF Fifth avenue and extending thence eastery
TO point opposite Cumberland street. The width of
the strip is fifty feet from the front Of the
house out into the street. Unfortunately for the At
lantc avenue horse route II takes in the front rail
of that track that line According To law If this
land had been used by the city for twenty years
could not be claimed by the original owners. Tho
twenty years would have expired to-day. The counsel
for the plaintiffs to guard against misfortune TO his
clients, procured the assistance Of the Sheriff, and
eeeded to Me the ground They distributed
notice to the parties Interested, setting forth that
ssaid strip OF land lies along the fronts Of the premises
designated Nos 800 to 40 Atlantic avenue, and has
lately been used part of said And the sub
scrbers hereby fOrDd, prOhDU ana protest against any
use Of the said land any part thereof road
or way for any other purpose whatsoever by per-
son or persons whomsoever. All trespassers will be
prosecuted according 10 law"
The sherif7s men put down picket posts along the
boundaries Of the ground and interwove strong wire
around it, so as 10 eTectuay enclose the property.
Two and a half feet of ex-Alderman Richardson's
tracks were thus enclosed and the

when they had finished their labors Deputy Sheriff
Hardy formally delivered over the ground TO the coun-
sci for the claimants Ex- Alderman Richardson was
very much incensed the summary proceedings; and

THE POLICE COMMISSIONERS.

SERIOUS CHARGES SAID TO BE PREFERRED
AGAINST THEM
II is understood that specific charges TO bo
preferred TO the Mayor oday by prominent lawyer Of
this city against the Police Commissioners. Tho gen.
teman who has drawn up the charges IL is said, has
been engaged upon them for some time, and they are
said be of serious character that they cannot
fail to command the immediate attention OF the Mayor
The democratic politicians however, last evening when
spoken to about matter did not seem
TO put much faith in the probability OF their
'force," and they base their view of the matter
the ground that the charges already preferred against
the Commissioners by the Board of Aldermen have not
been heard Of since they were 10 the Mayor il il
hardly possible that private individual have had
better opportunity than the Board had to find go0d
cause' for the removal of the Mulberry street mag
mates OF course If the charges justify action tha
part Of the Mayor he will not be slow in calling upon
the Commissioners 10 pay him early visit.

The body OF young man, about thirty years OF age
respectfully dressed found floating In the river od
North Pier, Atlantic Dock yesterday morning The
remains removed to the city Morgue by order Of
Coroner Smms. Subsequently a named John
Mayer called the Coroner and stated that he had
the body, which he recognized that OF August
Kenmeyer, Of Weehawken, N j., butcher by occupa
tion He stated that last Sunday the deceased
to Brooklyn and went by the horse with him
TO Canarse; from that point they went TO Rock
away Beach In the evening they took pas
sage the steamboat william Cook for
New York The steamboat named Is registered TO carry
500 passengers but instead of that she had board
nearly 500 souls and loaded down to near her
guards and Mr. Mayer says the deceased was literally
crowded overheard at point opposite Governors
Island He blames the authorities OF the boat for not
insulating proper search for the man when the acci-
dent reported To them. II is common practice 70
overcrowd the Rockaway boats and the only thing TO
be wondered at is that accidents OF serious
ture are not more general Yesterday Coroner Simms
was also visited in connection with this
by one of the steamboat inspectors II Is the intention
of tho Coroner TO thoroughly investigate the causes
which led TO the death of Mr. Kemneyer and flsten
the responsibility whero IL belongs Deceased ropre

A BETRAYED GIRL THROWS HER CHILD INTO
THE RIVER.
Shortly after O'Clock yesterday morning a
Der of boatmen ounging in the vicinity of the pier at
the foot Of West Thirty eighth street observed pale,
hollow eyed and poorly clad young girl approach the
dock bearing in her infant upon which she be-
slowed many fond caresses she neared the water
Reaching the srngpece bordering the front OF the pier
she sat down and afeconately considered the bit
Of humanity lying In her lap while the tears coursed
down her cheeks, and Sob audible to the boatmen,
broke from her lips Now and then she cast furtve
look toward the dark, Shiny waters be-
meath, but quickly turned from them to
again watch the little sleeper. Twice she
caught the child conyusivey TO her breast and twice
she laid It down again, saying "No, no; cannotl"
The Watchers who apart half obscured by pile Of
old smber, thought that she sick and had to
the river front to get little fresh air the custom
Of the poor Of the SIDE and therefore they paid
but little attention to her But presently they heard
light splash in the water just at the edge Of the dock
a mufiled, gurglng sound followed and little linen
wrapper Hoaed noiselessy past the end Of the pier.
Turning to where the girl had the boatmen her
hurryng toward the street They pursued and gave her
in charge of an officer and then returned look for the
child. After half an hours search II found lodged
between two Of the great piles upon which the pier
rests The nlant was tendery borne 10 the Twentieth

our new city clerk discovered things in a
dreadfully chaotic and mixed condition as
our Inheritance from the League admin

worst possible plight. No records have
been kept of the orders drawn on the
Treasurer from time to time and the
financial condition Of our affairs have been
kept in wretched shape. There is a general
overhauling needed of the books, accounts
and records in the clerks Office which will
involve considerable time for some one

Attempted Highway Robbery.

Mr.. Charles D. Miller, son of the Rev.
S. K. Miller, of this city, met with mar
row escape few days since. He had just
closed his winter term Of school teaching
some three or four miles north of Fox Lake
village, and was returning after dark to his
boarding place from the house of the Treas
urer of the district, when two men sprang
from the shadow Of fence in a lionel Y
place and rushed towards him with vio-
lent demonstrations. Mr.. Miller ''took 10
his heels,' which being at the end of a
pair of tolerably long legs, at a high
rate OF speed. But two bullets we're fred
after him one of which passed through his
cap just grazing the top OF his head. The
men maxi ng this attack are supposed to
be members of a company of tramps, who
for day or two past had been prowling
around the neighborhood, under the pre-
tense ofseeking work, and their purpose
must have been robbery.
