New York, Dec. 20.—An unusually large number of persons flocked into Dr. Talmage’s tabernacle in Brooklyn when the doors were thrown open at 10 o’clock Sunday morning. A great many of them were attracted there by curios ity. The sheriff took charge of the tab ernacle on Friday night, having seized it to execute a judgment obtained against the trustees by A. R. Tong, a Brooklyn decorator. Mr. Tong deco rated the new tabernacle and was paid in notes which he was unable to collect. Then he brought suit. The sheriff put a watchman in charge of the tabernacle on Friday night and re-enforced him Saturday with a deputy. It was inti mated that when the collection was taken up Sunday the proceeds would be seized by the sheriff, and therefore a large number of persons not members of the congregation went to the tabernacle to see the “fun.” They were disap pointed, for the trustees had an under standing with Mr. Tong, and the dep uty sheriff and his assistant were re moved.
