tory. Owney Geoghegan the proprl-
e.or Of one of the most infamous dens
that ever disgraced the city has been
arrested, tried and sentenced to pay
a fine of $500 and to serve month
in prison. The charge on which he
was brought up was a slight one
simply letting a boy under twelve
years sell flowers in his place, but
the police were driven to do some
thing and Geoghegan had to go to
prison. He made matters worse for
himself by attempting to bluster and
bulldoze in court; and threatening to
expose all officials who had received
hush money from him. Under the
circumstances the police had to sup
press him. Had he been i'll Captain
Williams precinct he would have
been "railroaded" to States Prison on
some other charge, the same as other
criminals before him, who though
thew were invincible because they
had money and knew things about
people in prominent places. Geog-
hogan is the worst wretch in the IN
famous business which pushes hum
dreds of men and women down to
the lowest depths after they have
once begun to descend. Not alone
coward and bully he actually
claims to be respectable, and prides
himself in being "a man Of property
and charitable man"
Ore scarcely knows what to think
of the case of DR.. IIeber Newton,
who recenely created such L stir
by doubling certain of the pas
sages of the Bible. The matter IS
now to be brought officially before
the Bishop, and an effort will be made
to have him expelled from the Epls-
copalian community. Certain it Is,
that he has some very bitter enemies
among his colleagues who seem de
termined to hound him down. | am
creditably informed too that he would
never have gone to the extreme log
ical consequences of his peculiar the
cries if he had not been forced to it
by clergymen who were determined
TO ruin him. 1t is certainly a sad
case, for DR.. Newton Is one Of the
most noble hearted and generous
minded men in the pulpit, and it is
hardly fair play to see him pursued
in a manner which leaves no doubt
that ruin is meant. These people
have newspaper as their organ,
which has literally been leaving no
stone unturned To force the expulsion
of the unfortunate clergyman, whose
mental powers and mora! tortitude
made him enemies.
That worthy institution, the Sea-
side Sanitarium, will be opened for
the season tomorrow. 1t was start
ed at Rockaway two years ago, and
destined as q resort where sick moth
ers and children and invalid young
men might stay few days, and re
cuperate under the invigoratlns inhu
enco of the sea breeze. 1t is provi-
ded with a bathing pavilion, the
cooking is plain and wholesome, and
the establishment is altogether
model institution. During the short
period Of Its existence it has already
saved hundreds of lives, and is fully
deserving of the support it has been
receiving from sensible philanthro
pists. The mode Of conducting it
will be somewhat changed this year.
That is to say an effort will be made
to make it self sustaining Persons
able to pay small sum for their &C
Communications will be charged, while
those who cannot afford to do 80 will
be az we'll treated as before.
