The new building of the Bethesda Presbyterian Chnrch, just completed, situated at the southeast corner of Frankford road and Vienna street, will be opened for public service for the first time on next Sunday morning, the loth instant. The building is one of the largest and most handsome In that section of the city, and the congregation worshipping in it Is in a most flourishing condition. The church Is under the pastoral care of the Rev. W. T. Eva. The efforts of this reverend gentleman In the building up of this new enterprise have been in every wy successful, as the now completed house of worship testifies. He was formerly in charge of the First Kensington Presbyterian Church, on Girard avenue, known as Chandler s Church, from its first minister, and while there was also very successful. On December 4, 1S07, the Bethesda con gregation was formed as a colony from the first church, and this portion of the old body took with them the pastor. The corner-stone was laid on the first of July, 1868, and by May, 169, the work was so far completed as to admit of the occupation of the lecture-room, which was dedicated on the eleventh day of that month. The work was then pushed for ward and is now completed. The main audience room and the finished building will be formally dedi cated with appropriate services on next Sunday. The building is from designs by Addison llu'tton, architect, and Is built of hewn Trenton brownstone, in the Philadelphia Normnn style. The dimensions outside are 110 hy 64 feet. The main audience cham ber is CO by 77 feet. The ceiling or ths amlieace room Is 85 feet high, and Is In a sloping form, the Inchest portion holding the likhtlng apparatus of the church, which consists of three sets or rings of gas burners mounted in strong reflectors. The height of the basement celling is eleven feet. On the main floor there are 7so sittings, exclusive of the gallery. The entire sitting capacity of the church is estimated at aooui vtw, anu tins is inougnc to be about the comfortable ligiire. The windows are of stained glass, inclusive of one very large one m the front of the church, and .are from the manu factory of Brownholtz, Alcken A Hanson. Between the Winnows, anil ruimiiiK iu me ceiling, are large plaster ribs In the roniflnesque stylo. Tne galleries run around all four sides of the church, and the organ gallery Is at the easteru end, immediately back or and over the pulpit. In this a goodly-sized instrument by H. Knautr & Son has been placed, which will be opened on Thursday evening next with a concert, in which Mr. Michael Cross, the organist of the Cathedral, and several well-known vocalists will take part. The pulpit desk is of solid polished white marble by Vandcrhelt, and the pulpit platform is finished in solid walnut. The pulpit and other furniture Is from the house of G. Sanderson, aud the upholster ing is by Walraven. This last is In dark red for the main floor, while in the gallery the pews are fitted up in a lighter cojor, and with handsome oil cloth cushions capable of withstanding much hard wear. The carpeting, from J. Ketchcnman, is very pretty and also substantial. The main audience-room is reached by four wide flights of stairs to the sidewalk. The basement has an additional entrance to it and through it to the auditorium, which opens on Vienna street. Directly on the corners or the two streets is an unfinished tower, now run up to the top or the stone work and terminated with ornamental points, but which, when completed, will be continued into a spire alto gether in the neighborhood or 180 feet high. The builder of the church was Mr. W. B. GInnodo, and the painting and oiling was done by Joseph Hemp hill. The congregation of Bethesda has greatly in creased in numoer since its formation, and it is now among the largest in the city. Within three years its communicants have been more than doubled. The president of its Board of Trustees Is Select Councilman William Buinm and the treasurer is James Irwin. Coroner's Inyestioation Tuk case of Obokoe II. Hokum. Coroner Taylor this afternoon began an investigation Into the case of George Boehm, who died on Friday of injuries alleged to have been re ceived at the hands of George Blakeley, on Thurs day morning last, at Baldwin's locomotive works. From the evidence, it appears that the deceased had been at work with the night gang in the steam hammering shop. Between 2 and 3 o'clock on the morning of the occurrence, Bochm went into Hamilton street, and in a few minutes George Blake ley came along that street and had a conversation with him. A quarrel ensued, and Blakeley made threats to whip deceased. The latter asked him to fight.. A tussle was the consequence, and the fore man of the Bhop separated the combatants. Blake ley then threatened to cut the foreman, who had hold of Sim. In the meantime, Boehni secured an lion bar, and coming towards Blakeley, the fore man seized the bar for the purpose of wresting It from him. Boehm left go the bar and went back into the shop, lollowed by Blakeley. Whatever occurred subsequently muit have been done in the dark, as none of the dozen witnesses who were examined had any knowledge of Blakeley striking Boehm. The witnesses all testified that attention was attracted to tne deceased by his groans, and on going to the spot where the sounds emanated they discovered him lying on the ground. Dr. Shapleigh testified to the nature of the wound which caused death, and that the injury was the re sult of a blow from some heavy bloat Instrument. The jury rendered a verdict that the deceased came to his death from blows inflicted by an instru ment In the hands of George Blakeley. Sale of Real Estate and Stocks.

The Murder af Thoaiaa Donahue, Under Ball 10 Appear for Trial for the Assassination of Florence Hcannel John Ncnnael Accused. Shortly after U o'clock last night, Thomas Dono hne (who was accused before the Coroner of killing Florence ncannei, dui, wno, auer ne naa Deen de clared gntlty, was out on ball awaiting his trial), while walking along the Third avenue between Seventeenta and Eighteenth streets, with his two cousins, Dennis and Thomas Donohue, was met by a man who approached him with his head hanging down evidently 10 conceal ma ieaturcs. witn a short Btart the man stopped in front of the party. Wltiont a word lie pointed a pistol to the breast of Thomas Donohne, and Instantly llred. The report was distinctly heard at Twentieth street by the ciiicer on miry. The ball entered Thomas Donohue's left breast. The assailant, af.cr shooting, turned around and ran rapidly along Seventeenth street, pursued by several citizens, but he disappeared in Irving place. On his road he threw away an ordinary slouched hat. a gray spring overcoat, anu a nrown wig, an 01 which had evidently been used as a disguise. He was also seen to throw away a pistol, which was picked up by Mr. McDonald, of No. 152 Third avenue. The other articles were picked up by Sergeant Loonle, of East Twenty.second Street Police, who, while going his rounds, was talking to oilicer ltur lelghon the Third avenue, about a block from the scene of murder, and who both hurried to the spot upon hearing the report of the pistol, and found Bonobue bleeding from the wound in his left breast. DONOHUK RECOGNIZED HIS ASSASSIN. The Eergeaut asked Donohue who had shot him, and the wounded man at once replied that it was John Scannell. and that ho had recognized him in spite of his disguise. Donohue's companions also said that the murderer had run away along Seven teenth ttreet. The ssergennt tncrerore went rapidly In that direction, and saw a carriage, iu which were two persons, hurriedly driving away. Suspecting inai me muruerer migni ue in inai veuicie, me er geant overhauled it, but found that he was mis taken, and this delay , gave the fleeing assassin a chence to escape. The Sergeant, having found the clothing before alluded to, then returned to the police station, Donohue having been borne by hl9 menus to nis rcsiaence at ao. 31s n.ast jiignteentn Btreet. THE NATURE OF THE WOfND. Dr. KImbark having examined the wound nro nounced it very serious. Ho could not positively assert that It was fatal, although the fact that th ) bullet was a very large one, that it made a jagged wounn, anu tnat it oia not meea much externally, is annum conclusive evidence mat 11 is mortal. SCANNBL'9 DOUSE VISITED. As Donohne has asserted positively that John bcannei nad nrea tne ratal snot, a visit to the uien- n r r 1 1 rtll on rFI i rl oirAnna o r 1 Tinnntir.fnnrth atvaaf formerly kept in part by John Scannel, was deemed necessary. The person in this house said that John Scannel was at Copake, on the Harlem Kailroad, and had been there for at least eight weeks. If. therefore. the assailant was John Scannel, he must have come to this city to shoot Donohue, as he had often threat ened ne would no on tne nrst opportunity, JOHN SCANNEL OCT ON BAII, When John Scannel before attempted the life of Thomas Donohue, and was arrested, he was bound over in flooo bonds to keep the peace toward Dono- nue ana an other citizens ror twelve months. a. r. iun to-day.

Some three wee&s ago they set out, on a nuuuug ana nsning lour. Hunting ana fishing, they spent the time until last Saturday, when, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, as they were novan miles ntf Ktftnv 'Pittnf ttnnfwl oornaa tha i.t. by some mismanagement, or from a sudden shirt of the heavy wind which was blowing from the east, the boat was suddenly capsize. On lirst being mrown out ine iueu ciamuerea upon me slue or the yacht, not at first regarding the ail'air in a serious light. But they soon found that the wind was strengthening, bringing up a rougher sea, which soon constantly Drone over inem. xney made seve ral attempts to right the craft, but the heavv sea. and the numbness which soon seized them, rendered an wieir attempts unsuccesaiui. After a time Turner became so weak and numb that, with Merrltt's help, he lashed himself to toe boat, to prevent the seas washing mm awav. Mer rlttwas holding a short oar or paddle when the accident occurred, and he now fouud that by using this he could keep his blood circulating, and prevent the helplessness which was so surely and steadily rendering Turner a dead man. AU night long the mad, hungry waves beating over them, the wind howling a funeral dirge, the boat bounding and straining, the men clung to life, cheering each other as best they could with the hope that daylight would bring some passing vessel to their relief. How long and gloomy that night was, few of us can imagine one Hieatmy uyiug, me otuer leeung tnat ueatu would soon seek him out despite all that he could do. Thus wore the night away, and just in the irrev of the morning they said to each other that their lives depended on making another eilort to ritrht the boat. For this purpose their lashings were cast oil' anu togeiner tney maue tne attempt. But Turner's helplessness, the cold water, the rough waves all worked against them, and with a cry of despair on on his lips. Turner let go his precarious hold and sank beneath the roaming waters. As he rose again be became entangled in the rigging of the mast, but was slowly drowning when Merritt made up his minu to rescue uuu. urawuug careiuuy 10 tne up of the mast, cheering the man to bear un aud hold on, he at length reached and brought him back, suc ceeding, after much hard labor, In again iuslilug him to tne boat. Bat the poor fellow was too far gone to recover from It and without a word or a groan eanK uacit ins ion weigni i n me rope around him. and in a few minutes was dead. Mcrning brought no relief. Passing sails were too distant to notice tne overturned yacht, and Merritt was becoming too weak to make ny exertion. He could do no wore than let the boat float before the wind. At noon the hope or rescue before death had nearlvlert. But about 3 o'clock in tuo afternoon. the Manitoba, guided ty some ruling hand, bore down upon them. Slowly she bore down, wind blowing and sea running, and they at lastjsaw hi m. What one of the crew asserted was nothing but a loir. Drovtd. under the captain's class, to be the liv ing and dead, aud tne former was soon in the cabin of the barge. He was just able to stand aud could not tell his story until wanned by stimuUnts and fire.. The yacht was taken in tow, aud arrived as stated.
