Louis Goldstein, Hebrew reddler, only
three months from Russia, was attacked by
several unknown men on Colwell street,
about O'Clock last night, knocked down
and kicked until unconscious. His assail-
ants escaped. They were evidently intent
on robbery, as Goldstein had no enemies.
He was taken to the home of his brother, on
Scott street, and attended by a physician
who found that two of the young mans ribs
were broken and he has two ugly cuts ON
the head. The police are after the attack
ing party.

TO BREAK A CUSTOM.
Part Of a Hebrew Congregation Wag-
ing War on Church Rules.
AGAINST SEPARATING THE SEXES.
The Factions on Both Sides Industriously
at Work in the Fight.
TO BE SETTLED ON SUNDAY, NOV. 29

On Sunday, November 90, the congrega-
tion of the Synagogue, at Third avenue and
Grant street, will determine by the in
dividual votes of the members whether the
orthordo1 custom of separating the sexes
during services shall be continued or
whether families shall be allowed to take
pews together.
A. Fink, President of the congregational
leading the opposition to the old custom.
He has with him many substantial members
of the church, but, on the other hand, many
of the strong members are ylgor-
ously opposed to the proposed change
in the ancient order of things, and
are resisting it with all their energies. b.
Jacobs and Joseph Levi are among the
leaders opposing any change. The Rabbi, 5.
Sallinger, is favorable to a change. He
argues that the church, where the congre-
CATION is allowed to mingle together is more
attractive, especially to the young members.
He contends that the proposed new ar
rangement would prompt more regular
attendance on the part of the young people
but would also attract many of the faith
who are not now members of the church.
May Cause Division.
Those opposed to the change say they
will leave the congregation if any change
is ade. They demand, they say, the same
teachings and religious customs as their faith
ers and they will be content with no other and
they will have no other. If they cannot
get it at one synagogue they will get 1t at
another is the ground upon which they are
standing
1t requires two-thirds vote of the con-
gregation to change any of the customs of
the church, and those who are managing
the fight for reform of customs say they
now lack but two votes to be able to carry
the point, and they are confident of success
when the vote is taken week from next
Sunday.
In the meantime the fight will be indus
triously carried on and both sides are con-
fident. An ordinary political contest, in
which contending candidates are in charge
of the struggle, could not be more interest
ing, and rarely, if ever, excites more atten-
tion from the parties concerned. There Is
great fear that the controversy has pro-
crossed to such distance, and has excited
so much feeling, that the result of the bat
tie, no matter which way it terminates, will
cripple the organization and that split
will follow.
It Is q Serious Matter.
A member of the congregation, who re-
fused the use of his name, said yesterday:
'Tt is bad, very bad, for the church. The
prosed changes in the customs of our congre-
cation are serious and are of greater i'm
portance than one would suppose. The Or
thodox church, if it wants to remain ortho-
dox, must submit to customs of the Phari-
sees, and if we begin to change our customs
there is no point at which we must stop and
in consequence the customs of our church
as they now stand, as they have stood for
years, may be wiped out entirely. 1t is ev-
ident, however, that there is going to be
not"

The Arguments Arc Over, but the Court
Reserves the Decision.
The hearing on the application for pre-
llminary injunction in the case of Murdock,
Kerr & Co. against members OF Typo
graphical Union No. Z and Pressmen's
Union No. 13 was concluded yesterday
morning before Judges Kennedy, Porter
and McClung. D. P. Patterson, Esq, spoke
TOR the defendants. He asked that the bill
be dismissed, as no case had been shown
against the unions, and if there was any
guilt at all it was on the part of the de-
PENDANTS as individuals. He held that the
case was not one for court of equity, as
there was remedy at common law.
The police, he asserted, were the ones to
be called On if there was any of the trouble
alleged, and they could afford ample pro-
lection. j. s. Ferguson concluded the
argument for the plaintiffs He asked for
the injunction which, he said, the afidavits
read showed was necessary. At the con-
cluslon of the arguments the Court took the
papers and reserved decision.

The crush became so great that at 10
O'CLOCK tho principal doors in the corner
tower were thrown open, and ticket-holders
were allowed to pass through. The immense
edifice was filed in short order, and men
and women were standing three or four
deep in the lobbies back of the pews. Every
inch Of space in the galleries was occupied,
and people considered themselves fortunate
to be allowed to stand anywhere.
Just before 10:30 o'clock the large folding
doors separating the church proper from the
Sunday school room we're thrown open, max
ing one immense auditorium. About 1000
persons crowded into this room, where
though they could not see very well, they
could distinctly hear everything that was
said. At 1880 o'clock 1t was estimated that
there were fully $500 people in the building.
Half as many more remained on the outside,
being unable TO gain admission.
The Tabernacle is by no means COM
pieted. A great amount Of work remains to
be done and it will take two or three weeks
to finish it. 1t was after midnight Sunday
morning when the last workman left the
building. The incomplete state OF the edt-
fee did not in the slightest interfere with the
comfort Of the audience.
The rostrum was handsomely decorated
with flowers. A large bank Of roses placed
under the reading desk attracted great
deal Of admiration. The word "Resurrec-
ton" was worked in red roses on a white
background, and very pleasing effect was
had. The memorial table was one Of the
principal attractions. 1t IS constructed in
part Of rough blocks Of stone from Mount
Calvary, Mount Sinai and Mars Hill, near
Athens, on which ST. Paul preached. Before
and after the services crowds surrounded it
and listened to DR.. Talmage's description OF
the scenes whence the relics came.
The family Of DR.. Talmage occupied pew
in the center aisle, and near them wers
seated Trustees John Wood, James w. Brk-

Alexander Mclean, Charles NJ. Stafford,
James II. Ferguson, Edward n. Branch and
F. NJ Lawrence. Sixty ushers and the
Trustees looked after the seating OF the
throng.
Many persons were turned away from the
doors at the evening service, when DR.. Tai
mage preached. He made special reference
to the stones in the wall of the church which
he brought from Mount Sinai, Calvary, and
Mars Hill last year. 1t was announced that

PIE GRANT MONUMENT.

Before the time for beginning the cere-
monies the posts Of the Grand Army OF the
Republic gathered at the upper end OF Riy-
erside Park, and were inassed In and around
the place where the monument Is to stand.
On the river opposite the tomb the war
ship Yantic was anchored decorated with
flags and bunting, and at o'clock salute
Of twenty-one guns vas fired by her. The
platform near the tomb was filed with men,
bers Of the Grant Monument Association,
members of the Grand Army Of the Repub-
lie, and the speakers. The Marine Band
played an overture, and 800 children from
the Sheltering Arms Asylum, headed by
fife and drum corps, marched past the tomb
Each child carried O small bouquet of for
get-me-nots, which was cast upon the tomb.
After prayer was offered by the Rev. DR..
Clark Wright, Chaplain Of Commander Free
mans staff, chorus sang "The Star-Spang-
led Banner" and then General Horace Por-
ter, the orator Of the day. was introduced by
Department Commander Freeman, of the G..
A. r. General Porter spoke at length of the
when he had finished the chorus sang
America"
Commander Freeman next arose to carry
out the great ceremony Of the day-the
breaking Of the ground. The spade which
he used was superb specimen Of American
handicraft, bearing an inscription contain
ing the chief events Of General Grants life.
Before inserting the implement in the turf
General Freeman delivered brief address,
in which he alluded to the services Of General
Grant, and concluded as follows:
'Now in the presence Of Almighty God
and these witnesses, we the representatives
of the Grand Army Of the Republic, break
the sod preparatory to laying the foundation
Of the monument which shall stand as
slight expression Of the love Of the nation for
its chieftain, and shall tell to all the world
that the United States Of America does not
forget her heroic dead"
Commander Freeman then turned spade
full Of earth, and the work Of erecting the
monument was thereby formally inaugu-
rated.
The Grant Birthday Association held its
anniversary dinner at Delmonico's, New
York. Over hundred distinguished citizens
were present. Hon. Joseph H. Choate pre-
sided, and delivered the opening speech.
Other addresses were made by ex-senator
Evarts, Colonel Kyd Douglass, Mr.. Fred
erick TAYLOR Hon. John s. Wise and Will
lam McMichael. A pleasant interruption
to the dinner was the appearance Of Mrs:
Grant in the gallery at the rear Of the hall
as the talking was about to begin. She was
accompanied by Mrs. Sartoris Miss Vivian
Sartoris, Miss Elverson, Mrs. General Coils
and Miss May Eassett. The moment she was
seen every man was on his feet and right
royalty was the widow of the man to whose
memory all were paying tribute greeted.
The memory of Grant was also honored
bv the Harlem Republican Club that night
in birthday dinner at the Metropolitan
Hotel.
