Long before the hour arrived the old Congregational church was filled to its very utmost capacity.

Mr. White opened the concert with a piano soli, followed by Miss E. Dan forth, who's rendering of Who's at my Window brought her deeerved encore. Otto Dosenbach, tbe young violin player, produced with fine effect De Beriot's favorite sixth air, and following him we were delighted with the appearance of James Monroe, who sang Trusting Mrs. Api y's select reading elicited much applause and was also very affecting.

chief engineer of the water works, to suggest a plan the adoption of which would furnish safeguards against the Hooding of the city by tbe Genesee river. Mr. Tubbs has given a great deal of thought and attention to the subject and as the result thereof has addressed the following communication to the mayor. is worthy of the most serious consideration. and is highly creditable to its author, whose reputation as a practical engineer is widely and deservedly extended The sketch refer red to can be seen at the office of the mayor by all who desire to obtain further Information than the communication affords, al though, we think that from the clearness with which Mr.

Tubbs makes his statements, the p.an will be perfectly intelligible without the aid of the tketcb: Omci or TBI Water Works, ROCR BTB Feb 6 1877- Hon, Corwiius H. Parsons, Mayor of fie Cttu of Kochrtrr. N. i IS ik In onmpiinnoe with your request, I have bestowed some thought on the subject of precautionary measures which it is desirable to inaugurate to prevent the recurrence tf dangerous floods in the Genesee river through this city. Two general plaos, with various modifications, have bean freely discussed in the pass each having enthusiastic advocates.

Tbe first is the construction of a very large tunnel, either under the bed of the river itseif or under tbe streets, buildings and races on the east side of the river, commencing in either caa above the canal aqueduct and ending below the first falL This plan would prove very expensive in construction, and I am SBtit-tied might from natural causes prove entirely inoperative just at the moment when it was most needed. The water through the tunnel would of course have a great which woW flood aud lib-wood, including rsntotrST" wiuTa iSg5 probability that tbe tunnel would become so gorged and choked that little if any of the flood water would pass oft in that way. The second plan is the excavation of an open channel along the center of tbe river from the fall to a polut above the canal aqueduct, including the deepening of the channels between tbe piers which support the arches of the aqueduct and the Main street bridge. This plan involves the construction of movable gates in the dam at the head of Brown's race, or the towering of said dam and depressing the bottom of Brown's race, and in consequence the deepening of very many and perhaps nearly all the wheel pits on said race, and alto the east side race. 1 am fully of tbe opinion that the plan of an open 'Channel along the center of the river from tbe brink of tbe fall to a point near Court street, will prove the cheapest and most certain in its operation.

In the aosence of careful measurements my suggestions and estimates must of course be quite general in their character. My plan, then, is as follows: I suggest that an open channel be excavated starting at the brink of the fall, wish a width of 100 feet and a depth below the present bed of tbe river at the railroad bridge of 4J feet; that this channel be continued up the center of the river on a true grade to a point in the vicinity of Court street, bring depth of cutting in some places as great as nine or tea feet; that tbe excavation shall be continued between the piers of Main street bridge, and if found necessary, the rotten or disintegrated or shattered rock to be removed and i replaced with large blocks of cut stone, thoroughly fitted and bolted to the solid rock below. Tbe spaces between the piers of the aqueduct to be similarly treated. The theoretical area of the arcbes of Main street bridge is 3,294 square feet. Tbe excavation 1 of the channel proposed cannot fail to add at leatt one-third to the capacity of the river.

If this view of the cade is adopted, the next important question is to provide for tbe maintenance of the dam which supplies Brown's race on the west side and the Hydraulic company's race on the east side of the river. My suggestion in reference to this matter is as follows: There are five piers and six openings at the railroad bridge. These openings are about fifty feet wide each in the clear. The proposition is to cut out a section of the present dam. near the middle of tbe same, something over 100 feet in length, and extend wing dams cf cut-stone masonry from each end of tbe opening, from the dam to a pier of tbe laiiroed bridge, so as to include between these two wing dirna the two center openings of the bridge; that the pier of the bridge included between these wing dams be extended up stream about six feet, and tbe two outside piers to be thoroughly connected with the it dams.

Iu these extensions of the three piers wul be cut gains or recesses to receive tbe ends of timbers extending across the two openings. At the bottom of each opening, aud partly let into the rock, is to be inserted a cns sill of timber bolted to the bed rock, and in tbe rear of these, at the distance of a few feet, another bed sill is bolted to the rock, against which to toe braces for the movable Cam between tbe piers. In these recesses will be inserted cross timbers above the bed sills at suitable distances apart, with posts or upright limbers set vertically behind them and braced back against the second sui. Thd dam itee is to be rurmd of plank pushed down end wise against these longitudinal timbers and lightly apiked. A foot bridge is to be placed on top of the extended piers over the cross dam and light power provided on each pier for raising the temporary dam in case of high water; in which case the plank are first raided one by one and the cross timbers one by one, when the braces drop over down stream and remain' on the bed of the river, being hinged to the rear fcilL It will be readily seen from this description that the construction of the bulkhead dam between tbe piers is extremely cheap and simple and in case of necessity can be sawed out in a few minutes, without waiting to take them out piece by piece, involving thereby only the loss of a small amount of timber and plank.

For a more perfect understanding of the plan above described, your attention is called to the accompanying sketch of the proposed bulkhead dam. From careful inquiry of citisens who have been familiar with the nver for many years. lm satisfies that should the debris which is deputed in bed of the river above the kwer-iazn and extending throng the arches of Mam street brHge be fully removed, there would be depth ot water in the river between the sointe namod, when the pond was full of not kss than eight ttet. If this true, then the material to be removed on my plan between these points would consist of loose material which could be removed at half price of solio rock, even if it was hauled by teams. I suggest, however, that with the dam changed as proposed, and the channel excavated frxa the fall to the old dam, that the leaving of this dam bulkhead open during a siKge spring freshet would probably scour out this deoris and carry it over the falls wica-out any expense t) tbe city.

The importsaoe of an early removal of thiObcentraterf tilth firm the river, when i 18 exposed to the sun and air during the drr season in summer, and becomes a i miasmatic poi- son through tblfcr- of the czty, cannot be exaggerated have, howevur, in the rough estimat expense herewith submitted, pro-cwdr oa the assumption that this material is tr.oe removed by teams in the usual manner.

Yet as loyal Odd Fellow, we submit until such time as we can by vote express our dissent thereto.

I perceive, by tbe publications in the fol- lowing secular papers, Buffalo Daily Courier, i Dansville Advertiser, Rochester Evening Ex- press, Poughkeepsie Daily Eagle, Chenango i Union, Port Jervis Evening Gasitte, and others, that tbe district committees are giving remarkable beed to the Heart and Hand "to crush out this evil" and sustain its slanderous insinuations against P. G. M. Swbb'ns. Kings number one, Dutchess district, Cayuga district, Chenango district, as well aa Monroe, have thus "early" placed him in nomination for grand representative, and several of them have had the audacity to publish these nominations in tbeir local, secular journals," without per- miK-ion of Tbe Heart and Hand.

In the Rochester Evening Express of the 5th instant, in an article copied from the Buffalo Bundav Courier I find the following excerpt. 11 The Heart and Hand seems to be trying to establish for itself the oflice of 1 censorship of the press.

Next to be Hear, from. Yesterday morning the committee appointed by the -common council to take action in regard to the truant house, visited th it institution, for the purpose of making inquiries in relation to the children confined tbere. The committee was represented by Aldermen Bennett, Baetzel, Lauer and Morhardt, and the board of managen by Messrs. Herzberger, Anthony, Meyer, Smith, Hays and Superintendent Bryan. At about half -past 11 o'clock the joint commission commenced business, and on motion of Aid.

Baetzel, Aid. Bennet was chosen chairman. At the request of the committee, Superintendent Bryan produced the record of -the conviction of the different children, and Tberon A ins worth, the first on the list, was announced as being discharged by the managen subsequent to the testimony being taken by i he committee. After some discussion as to how the proceedings should be commenced. Manager Hay.

moved that the names of all those over seventeen yean of age, or those committed by the superintendent of the poor, be taken op first. The resolution was adopted, and the next name read was that of William Henderson, (colored), aged sixteeen years, committed by the county superintendent of the poor November loth, 1876- Aid. Lauer moved that Henderson be discharged and the superintendent of the poor be notified of the fact. Manager Anthony said that if he could be assured that the boy would be weU pro vide i for he should have no objections to his discharge, but otherwise he should. Manager Hays said that the county superintendent should be notified to pay to the city the expense of caring for him- or else remove him.

Aid- Lauer thought the managen were arguing on the assumption that the house was not to be abolished. Manager Smith thought they were losing tirre in useless discussion. The resolution liHKj-ed was to decide what children should be I discharged, and he thought the managen should look through the list and conclude if there were any children they wished to dis- pose of. Aid. Bennett said they should act on the resolution as adopted, and have the children committed by the county superintendent brought up aod immediately discharged.

Anthony waa willing to duhago all children not properly committed, but he withfd a little time in which to ascertain that they were properly disposed of. I Manager Herzberger thought they should be nxnitdiately discharged, and then tbe common -council committee could take care of them. This was agreed to, and Charles Mar- tin, Bgea fifteen; William Henderaon, aged sixteen; John Earl, apd fifteen; and Henry Earl, aged twelve, were discharged. Fred- crick Karl was disposed of by tbe managers subsequent to the testimony. Thomas and Joseph Nolan were also dischargea, as being i county children.

Tue meeting then took a recess for the pur- pote of seeing the children eat their dinner, and at the conclusion of this interesting spectacle the investigation proceeded. The next name read on the list was that of-Eugene F. who will be eighteen years of age next December. llaneger Anthony opposed his discharge on humanitarian grounds and the manager, declined to discharge him. The next was Charles Schurten, an orphan twenty-two years of age, who had been rendered partially imbecile by fits.

He had an aunt living in the city able to take care of him and he was discharged by the managers. Maggie Lindsay, nineteen years of age, was Discharged by the managers, but retained, for the present as help in the house. Perry Henry, a sixteen year old boy, was committed by Justice Wheeler. He his. no parents living and the managers decided him to be a county charge and discharged him.

James Mr Far land, fifteen years of age, was discharged by the managers on the statement of School-policeman rancis that employment had been found for him. This concluded the class of those over seventeen years of age, or the county charges, and the committee of aldermen then proceeded to dispose of those remaining. The following resolution was offered by Manager Hays in behalf of the managers: 'lf you bave any plan to offer whereby the children hich are hero now, and all those wbich may be committed for truancy, can be cared for, we will consider your plan, and if in our opinion it is a good one, we will accept and take care of the children accordingly. At present we are not prepared to discharge any nio-i. tjau, wr oiq we permit any more to be removed from here.

wua anrf IMe if any other place can be found where the ai agers wul be satined that tbe children will be taken care of as weli as here, aad their moral training into consideration; tten we will gladly do ail we can to satisfy your demands. Therefore we your committee to give us ample time to see what is best to be doae with them under the circumstances." Id anager Hey er said that he wished it to be tbat he agreed with the above up to the words present t'me, and no further. The committee then disposed of the remaining children as fallows: Jemes blase, aged five years; to be sent to the Industrial school. CaHin 8.

F. A Die pat la Odd Feliowanlp. To t4 Editor of Ou Democrat and ChrorUcU Hih 1 read with extreme regret" a commu nication in your paper of the ultim upon tbe action of the L. U. upon toe election of P.

G. Htebbins to a seat in hit grand body. I think that if Brother Whice had thoroughly understood his theme be would have written thus Your able local reporter of our ttrand Uodge proceedings lat August, 1 noticed was preent every oay during the session, and as he is the secretary of our Monroe District Grand Committee," neens none of my assistance to maintain the trnth. I am not much accustomed to writing elaborate article, for the daily press, bat I know something of Odd Fellowship, having been a member of the order about twenty years, aid during that time have carefully studied the record of the proceedings of the Grand Bod- iee and Ipanj standard Works upon lu teoeU. It was my pleasure to attend the session of the G.

U. 8. in Philadelphia, in September last. Tbe proceedings of the L. of N.

aad also the Daily Journal of the G. L. U. 8 I have studied with considerable care, and am sur prised that the Heart and Hand," or Gr. Representative hit, or any one else that has done Jtffe should make so much JfclUweefcT since" that SrTeEbins received a majority of all the rotes actually cant, and after sitting in mmi U.

Li. U. B. and representing this great jurisdiction through its entire session (except the afternoon of the laat day), was then deprived of bis seat by the adoption of the report of the P. G.

Birea, which I unhesitatingly say count, him out on trivial, clerical omissions in the returning officer, such as would not be allowed to deprive a member of his seat in any deliberative body in any country. I supposed this was generally understood, and that while it was conceded that the G. L. U. 8.

bad the supreme power to do so, it was neither iust nor equitable to this Jurisdiction, nor to Brother Stebbins. Until Rep- White made the statement, I was not aware that there was any personal quarrel between brothers," and do not believe it now. That remark convey, a wrong impression to the public, which I desire to correct. Brother Stebbtns, while grand master, was interfered with in the discbarge of his legitimate duties as such officer, and resisted that interference by pursuing the course he had laid out in giving instructions in the secret work, and by pushing oat of his way such interference. I have often conversed with him on this subject and have never been able to discover that he had a quarrel with any one.

Brother White says he cannot see why any one should detire a membership in a body that would do such a wrong. No one suspects the G. L. U. 8.

intended any wrong. It was an error committed at almost the lat hour of the session, when ail was harry and anxiety to close; and when there was no time for deliberate and calm investigation. Had there been, no such result, in my opinion, would have been reached. More than this, had Representative White, or any other representative from this state, not personally interested in the result, arisen and said a word in defense of the action of our grand lodge, and given his vote to sustain the action, I have no doubt the report would have been defeated by a large majority. This was the opinion of many members of that grand body.

It is a source of surprise to me that a report unanimously made by eight past grand sires, and all using tbeir great influence for its passage, and not opposed by a single representative from this state, except Brother fctebbins, who entered an earnest protest agaimt it (a most damaging document to the P. G. 8ires. seepage journal G. L.

TJ. 8, 1876) should have been adopted by the aniail majority -of eleven on tbe call for of the yeas and nays; there being bv and 53 against it. Representative White's excuse for not voting or speakirg on the question is a Tery lame cue. He says he was not going to take sides in a personal quarrel." Tnere was no personal quarrel." The had, by a fair majority, elected Brother Stebbms over three ether com pet. ton.

Our Grand Lodge carefully canvassed the rote and so declared. Appeal was taken from the decision of our G. Li. Wfiat personal quarrel could there be in that appeal It was simply a question wbeiherour G. had correctly canvassed the votes: It canvassed and declared the result in the same manner waiving the same irregularities as it had the two years previous, when Brother Medole obtained his election He now files a protest against the action of our Lodge.

Brother White being a member of the G. L. U. 8., was bound to act a much as any other member; more so; the correctives of the action of his own G. L.

being involved-Rep. White says, It is a dirty bird that "fouls its own nest." I do not quite understand the design of the quotation us made. I have always sap posed that was just what birds built their nests for. It is too late now to raise tbe question of the propriety of discussing these matters through the public journals. If Representative White or any other representative had correctly represented his Grand lodge in the G.

L. U. -6 it probably would not have been necessary. The 41 Heart and Hand has been spreading them before the country in a distorted and one-sided manner for the year past. The daily journals in this city published the facts in outline during the session of our Grand Lodge last August, and during the session of tbe Grand Lodge of the United States.

About two week, ago the office ot Dr. Bee-ley on Plymouth avenue was entered by soma aneak-thief, who succeed ed in stealing two cases of surgical instrument, from the room, and escaped from tbe premises undetected. The doctor lost no time in giving notice of tbe burglary at tbe police headquarters, and officera were detailed by Chief McLean to visit tbe offices of the various pawn broken I and ascertain whether any property corresponding to that stolen had been pawned. This attempt to discover tbe thief proved a failure, as none of the pawnbrokers had any knowledge of the affair. Not long afterward another complaint was made by Dr.

Babbage that his office on State street had been robbed of a satchel and a full set of surgical instruments, 8ti more re-. cently Dr. Gallery, whose office is on Hatej street, gave notice to tbe chief of police that; three cases, containing implements of surgery-similar to those taken from the offices of the; other physicians, had been stolen ro hti premises also. Detectives Lynch, Burchal? and Hughes were set to work ani commenced vigorous search for the stolen property and tbe thief. One of the orticers bsl recently seen in the streets a woman whom he had arrested more than eight years ago for wtealing quantity of bedding from tbe Bracketd house, for wbich crime she was subsequently convicted and punished.

From tbe nature of the thefts recently committed in the mndicat this woman was the criminal whom he and his associates were endeavoring to find. Acting upon this belief, the officen succeeded in arresting Jenny Wasson, aif. Mrs. Mo- Donald, alias Fanny Wallace, who now gives ner nam as Mrs. Jenny Fickey.

With the uual fear which characterise, criminals when -v, -v ana told the racers where she bad disposed of the stolen property. That belonging to Drs. Gallery and Babbage she bad taken to tbe city bovpital, seHing it to Dr. Green, with the representation that tbe instruments belonged to a Dr. Damon, who had been boarding with her and bad failed to pay his bills, and that he bad given her permission to raise what money she could upon his cases of implements.

Believing this sbiry true. Dr. Green purchased the case, and their contents. Tbe instruments belonging to Dr. Seeley the woman had sold to Dr.

Buckley, telling a similar story to the one related at the hospital. Nearly all of the stolen property has been recovered by the detectives. The woman has one child a little girl two yean old. She says she would be satisfied to go to prison inexpiat on for her crime, if ber child were placed where it could be well provided for She is a woman about thirty -five years of age, and says she was married to a man named Fickey some yean ago, but that he subsequently deserted her and sailed fur Germany. Whisky, says, ia tbe agent by the use of which is now under lock and key as a thief.

Spending hat money she bad in drink, want stared hereelf and child in the face, and ahe resorted to theft as ber only means of sustenance. Sue says she will not attempt to meet or deny the charges against her, but will place herself entirely at the mercy of the court. She will be examined in the polios court this morning. Baefael Noah. A large audience was highly pleased last evening at the appearance of a Rochester artiste, Mis.

Rachel Noah, as Marie in tbe charming play, Tbe Pearl of Savoy." The yotng lady has gained an enviable and fluttering reputation in various leading theatrical circles at out the country, but has not favored a Rochester audience with an exhibition of her talents for many years. Her rendition of the role of Marie was not only good, but it was rare In Its excellence. With the remem brance of Maggie Mitchell's admirable personation of this difficult character fresh in the mds of her audience, the younK lady nad no easy tasE oeiore ner in essaying the role, but tne oearty applause her etTorts elicited was ample proof that the acting was of a suparior character. Miss Noah was called before the curtain twice most enthusiastically a compliment well deserved. The support waa excellent throughout.

COllAT OF 8KMSIONS. The Testimony Concluded In the Case of SsRta miller. Indicted for For gery Cosasel to Hum thle morning. Yesterday morning the trial of tbe third prisoner charged with forgery Susan stiller, alia. Esther English waa taken up in the court of sessions.

Considerable difficulty was experienced in obtaining a jury tj try the cabe which was satisfactory to the counsel for T. ri A natrteliflo A r. I aar. aflur olaoan inrvi. harl the defense.

At last, after eleven jurors had been peremptorily challenged and dismissed, the trial got under way. The testimony for the people was substantially the same a that produced in the former cases. District-attorney Haines explained that forgery in the third degree consisted in placing a forged signature to a document, the forger being ignorant of what use was to be made of the document. An accessory to forgery in the second degree was one who forged a name with a full knowledge that the signature was to be used dishonestly, To be guilty of forgery In second degree a par- be present when a forged doc ument is jjrweuLtai ior Vy uuxerwise a prisoner can only be convicted an accessory. Tbe defendant testimony was more damaging to ber case than any which was introduced by a the prosecucion.

At first she swore positively tbat she had never seen and did not recognise Mr. Mannis, one of the gentleman in the court-roam- When her testimony was conduced Mr. Mc Mannis was placed up the stand Mid that he had, previous to ber I aft arrival in this city, procured a check from him. Be produced, in court the book containing a stub or duplicate ot the check, Ui that she gave him toe name of Esther English. Th.

counsel for tbe defense had her recalled as a witness, bhe stated that her memory had been revived, and she remembered having seen Mr. Mc Mann is before. Upon being aeked by the district-attorney how it happened tnut ber memory was so suddenly refreshed on this point, she replied that she recognised the man by his voice, which she had not heard previous to bis being called as a witness. Bhe also swore that she was the legal Wife of David Miller, whom married in England two years ago; that si ore her marriege she had become the mother of two children, whose names were Hattie and Lottie. Whether this is true or false the case will be decided by the jury to-day.

after which, if Mrs. Mil ler ia found guilty, all three of the prisoners will be sentenced by the court. The penalty for forgery in the second degree is confinement in state prison for a term of not more than ten years, nor less than five, at the discretion of the court. Meeting 1st tne Tweilih Ward.

Jt a. liraddua. at HeriM Tailors $100,000 Total The work which should he dose first under this plan should be the change in tbe dam and opening of the proposed channel from the fall to the present dam. Tbe next should be the work under Main street bridge anj th" aqueduct, and the might follow in such order as should be deemed advisable.

sofpOM the rock excavated could be claimed by the adjacent owners; but as it ia doabtful whether they would haul it at tbe times required by the city, and find depositlnV ground for it on the chance of a future) It is probable that the city could so dV'P08 ot them aa to materially decrease tbe cost v'' th work. While the common council proba'" to pass au oral nance f.r this worv et a. I judge it will be deemed advisable to fpwad the ateeasment of cost over a series of years, legislative action will be hut lb. considers! iun 0f thil qoestioi.es weli as that of t. proper manner of making tne aasts.a,ent.oomes witLin tbe domain uf the mayor ami common council, and I therefore pas tt with the above eimpl alluaion.
