BROOKLYN BABBLE.
1t Picks Up Peter and His Son.
NO COLOR LINE THERE.

National Associated Press to the Star
BROOKLYN, May 25.-Peter Call, we'll
known colored resident of Brooklyn, was
before Justice Bloom for examination on a
charge of bigamy.
Peters celebrity among the colored pop
ulation of the city of churches is so wide
spread that large crowd Of dusky specta-
tors was attracted to the Courtroom. The
case excites as much comment among the
people of Peters color in Brooklyn as did
the Beecher case among the fairer skinned
members of this community. Mr.. Call has
a son in Jail awaiting trial on charge sim
liar to the one brought against the old man.
THE WALTON CHARGES.
The charges that Mrs. Barbara Walton
presented to the Examining Committee of
Plymouth Church against Mrs. Tilton and
ing her pastor, and the latter of threaten,
ing never again to darken the doors of Ply
mouth Church, having been returned by
the Committee to their author are likely
never to be renewed by that lady. The
Committee on Thursday night voted to send
the charges back to Mrs. Walton, that
she might omit the charge against Mrs
Morse, who is not a member OF the Church
and that she might make the charges
against Mrs. Tilton more specific. Mrs
Walton's relatives have also SO disapproved
of the introduction of her name into the
history of the scandal, that they almost
persuaded her to cut short her connection
with the case by refusing to furnish the
Examining Committee with any new
charges. Mrs. Walton intimated that she
had about decided upon this course.
| NICE KETTELLE OF FISH.
| The lecture-room of Plymouth Churcl
was comfortably filled last evening by mem
bers of that fold. At o'clock Mr.. Smith
the accused pastor, occupied the chair at thu
desk. Mr.. Beecher being absent at Mon
treal, he said nothing about the Ketell'
scandal. The charges made against him by
the young widow forms a prominent topi'
of conversation among gossips, while friend
of Plymouth Church and of the accused
minister scout the statements of the lady
mentioned as being utterly unworthy o
credence; others as warmly espouse he
cause and point to the circumstantial pre-
cision of her apparently ingenious story be
fore the Committee.

The Social and Moral Virtues.
Senator Burnside, from the Committee on
Education and Labor, yesterday reported
his bill to introduce moral and social sci
ence into the public schools of the District
of Columbia. 1t is amended so as to read
as follows:
Section /. That school officers shall in
troduce as part of the daily exercises of
each school in their jurisdiction instruction
in elements of moraland social science.
Section 2. That it shall be the duty of
the teachers to give a short oral lesson
every day upon some one of the social or
moral virtues which characteriZes the good
citizen, and to require the pupils to furnish
from time to time thoughts or illustrations
of the same.
Section 3. That it shall be the duty of the
Commissioner of Education to direct the
operations under this bill, and report upon
the result in his next annual statement
Section 4. Emulation shall be cherished
between pupils in accumulating thoughts
and facts in regard to the noble traits pos
sible and illustrating them by their daily
conduct.
A Rest for the Inventors.
The inventors throughout the country
will no doubt be sorry to hear of the stop
page of the issuance of letters patent at the
Patent Office until the 1st of July, because
of the failure of Congress to supply the
money needed to print the specifications
and descriptions of inventions, which work
is done at the Government Printing Office
The public printer is unable to go on until
authorized to do so by Congress, so that the
only remedy lies with that body.
Blows and Black Eyes.

Gen. Denver took umbrage at some remark

Denver who is many years his senior sew.
eral heavy blows in the face one of which
cat and backened one of his eyes.
Farther hostilities were prevented by
spectators, and the aged combatants were
separated. General Denver went into a
drug store and had his wcunds dressed,
while Mr.. Grow walked up Fifteenth street
and disappeared before the arrival of a
policeman. The cause of the dispute is un.
known, but is supposed some legal business
in which they were both interested. No

that being Deputy Auditor he could not

having the right to act by deputy.
