The dinner last night given In order to bring
the members together in social way and sec how
they felt In regard TO the coming season. From the
large attendance and the enthusiastic sentiments
pressed by those present thcro not much fear that
the New York Yacht Club will pass out OF existence in
1871.

his widowed mother, at Fordham Last Sunday morn
ing deceased found by Olcer Philip Reilly OF the
Th-syfourth precinct lying In an insensble condition
near tho Harlem Railroad track short distance south
of the depot Central Morrisania. When discovered by
the police officer about nine O'clock the man lay on tho
west side OF slight embankment, few feet distant t
from tho rails OF the down track. The snow was
thawed Immediately around the unfortunate man. EVIL
dcncng that he had been there for several hours As
could be procured ho carried to
the railway station ana later IN the day con-
Monday afternoon. Deceased. who was about
twenty-five years old. was mason and piasterer by
trade aud lived with his mother at Fordham He was
In the employ Of MI Van Nostrand, living at Tre-
mont and had been engaged dong some work down

il said that Kcees employer was in the habit Of pay
ing his monthly, and that us The former was
working some distance from tho shop Van Nos.
trand went to Fordham Saturday afternoon and
paid the mother OF deceased MS two weeks wages 1t
Is further stated that Keee left mis- work early IN the
afternoon and up to Morrisana Tor the purpose
OF celebrating st. Patrck's Day Nothing definite
seems TO be known, however, regarding his move
menis after he quit hts task or until ho was found
insensiUIe Il was at first supposed that The man
hal been struck ny the midnight train while
walking on the track. bu: this theory is now
secuted by many In Of the fact that the only In
jury he had ustained was blow or concusson, whcn
fractured the skull on the top. Tho force employed
was sufficient to drive In portion OF the skull on
the BRAN. which protruded from the wound.
1t argued that had deceased bcen struck by
u locomotive some OF his limbs must have either
been broken, or at least considerably bruised, while
1t Is understood that no otner mark OF injury
found on the body Those friends OF the deceased
who the theory OF foul play intimate that the
fatal blow might have been dealt by some person who
knew that deceased was paid every two weeks, and

CITY CHARITIES.

Comptroller Kelly yesterday transmitted circular
to different asylums, rcfornatores and charitable In
sttutions, entitled to per capita allowance for the
care and support OF inmates. Ho states that nearly
81, 900 900 has been appropriated by tho Board Of
Estimate and Apportonment for this purpose for
the year 1877 and calls attention TO the TACT that the
city IS under legal obligation TO pay than the
amount liked. He argues "that some measures should
money for such objects and limit the annual addition
to the burden OF taxation imposed by the present sys
tem which is out all Just and reasonable proportion
TO the increase OF taxable property" He also points
that 1.-THE original design OF founders OF several
institutions have been lost sight OF, and instead OF
de spending on private contributions Tor support they
are now mainly II not wholly, supported by taxation
through tho operation ol special Legislation"
