THE CITY'S WATER SUPPLY. A PROTEST AOADtST TOT BILL INTRODUCED BT ASBBMBLTMAX XTXBXTT. The Major, Controller, Corporation Coun- 10, and Commissioner of Public Works hare sent to the Legislature a memorial.

In which are ex-. pressed various objections to the bill introduced on March 1 by Everett, of Putnam County, entitled "An act for the purpose of supplying the City and County of Sew-York with pure and wholesome water in greater quantity. It is the opinion of the memorialists that the provisions of the bill materially affect this City In adding from 114.000 to 18,000 to the annual salary ao-. count; to limiting and practical! destroying rights which the city has just acquired 'at an expenditure of about $250,000: in subjecting the new system of water supply to the supervision of agents to be paid by the but to be appointed, and removed by the authorities oft Putnam County. The bill also Seeks, it is asserted, to limit and control the City's use of the principal tributaries of the Croton River the East Branch, the West Branch, the Middle Branch, and the Muscoot River through agents to be appointed by the Supervisors of Putnam County.

The necessary result of its passage would be. thoy say. to seriously impair and Impede the supply of water, in New-Tori, while enlarging the advantages of the Putnam authorities at the expense of the City. One of Its provisions is the appointment ot from 14 to 19 Water Inspectors at SO per day and a Superintendent at 1.600 per rear to perform work now done by six men one. eveler at per year and five watchmen at $1 ftS per dar.

It does not propose to limit the use of the reservoirs built by the City, except as it subjects that use to the control of the. Putnam County agents; but it does most stringently restrict and uuii, lire v. i uao ui it? vtwvi mi ji uv- ural lakes bv providing that it shall not draw any water from those sources until after the reservoirs are exhausted, and then only case of emergency and in a specified order, beginning with the White, Black, and Kirk Lakes, and going through three classes, in which Lake Mabopac one of the most important, stands last In the third class. The bill bJm provides that in 188 the City shall lose all rights in any of these lakes rights which were, the say, acquired in the course of proceedings Instituted under acts passed in 1877 and 1K70 and by an expenditure of about $290,000. A resume of the proceedings in question is given In the memorial which concludes substantially as fol-: lows: The publlo necessity that "this matter should be controlled exclusively by the City of New-York, has been uniformly recognized by the State, which has surrendered all Its own rights In these various waters, either through the Legislature or the Commissioners of the Land Offiee.

Legislative provl-. SKn has also been made that the City may aoquire every existing right in such waters, by whomsoever held. The present bill Conflicts, on the one band, with toe recognized policy of the State: on the other, with the principles of honor and honesty governing transactions between private par-sou. BALTIMORE AND OHIO. ITEVr USE TO BB COH8TRCCTID BALTTMOBB TO PHILADELPHIA.

raoM It is officially announced from itt tfwh lUlMmAM and Dhto Railmaii COmoanvhaa 1 AterminMi tA hnild a new railroad from Baltimore Philadelphia, there to connect with the Philadelphia and Beading and New-Jersey Central lines to Sew-Tork. They win push the bullfflng of this I sew line as fast as money and men can construct 1 it. During the construction of the new road the 1 Baltimore and Ohio Company has made a temporary arrangement with the Pennsylvania Railroad to run the Baltimore and Ohio freight and passenger trafflo over the New-York division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and hence the' Baltimore and Ohio Ps-Jcurrr trains will be temporarily withdraw from the Jersey Central and Reading Roads. This arrangement will only continue till the completion of the new lino to Philadelphia. The entire freight and passenger trafflo of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to New-York will then pass' over the sew line, and toence by the Bound Brook route to this City.

On the day after the purchase of the Philadelphia, WUm ogtoo and Baltimore stock by the Pennsylva-rpia Railroad Company the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company bought tne Delaware ana western Railroad, and Is now the owner of nearly all the stock of that company. Companies will be at once organized under the general railroad laws of Maryland and I'ennsylrania. which, uniting with the Delaware Western Railroad, will constitute the new road. A oorps of engineers has already been placed In the field, and the construction of the new line will begin without delay. It to stated that the new line can be built for $7,000,000.

A majority of the Directors of the Open Board of Stock Brokers Building Company petl-fionVl the Supreme Court some time ago to dissolve the company and appoint A Receiver to wind ap Its affairs. Judge Dooohne appointed Mr. 8.

Randall to give a bond for The motions were based apoa in affidavit made by Mr. Arthur T. Tlmpeon, a stockholder, and Trustee of the company. Mr. Timpano averred that tbeTtooeiver of the company was likely to eons tato the 4rsessioa of 1 1 10,000.

This was met by a sworn statemeat from Mr. IRandaU to the effect that be has received only 1770 and that the prooerty Ukelv to be received by him was a disputed claim for and real estate valued at about $60,000 aad inortgaged foe The Interest oo the mortgage was long Inr arrears. la the coarse of the argunveet the eoua-sei went over the otMsttoa, now loo iadianaia.es to whether Messrs.

Jtr. wu-11am Fullerton anoeared for the motions, and Mr. btdnev S.

Harris opposed them. Judge Lawrence reserved bis decision. CAPTAIN AND CREW RESCUED. THSIB HARD WOKE AT THE PUXPS BTORXS THAT BHIPB MET. The bark Arthur Wade, Capt.

Sherman, which arrived from Cardenas yesterday, rescued the Captain and entire crew of the three-masted schooner L. W. Wheeler, la latitude 10 90 and longitude 7V 40 on the 15th, and brought them to this port. Shortly after daybreak on the 15th the Wheeler was discovered flying signals of distress, and the Wade approached her. The wind was blowing at the time, and a heavy sea was running, bat the crew abandoned the distressed schooner In their own boats, which were brought alongside the bark.

There were then feur feet of water la the hold of the schooner, the pumps of which had become choked. Capt. Bowen. of the Ix W. Wheeler, reports that be sailed from Navassa, for Wilmington, N.

with a cargo of guano, on Feb. 1ft. With favorable winds the run could have been made In a week. When the schooner was off Bird Key a heavy northerly gale set in, and Capt. Bowen decided to put back and remain in the lee of Fortune Island until the storm was over.

The schooner proceeded again on the Sftth. but a few days afterward a violent westerly gale set In. and caused a rough sea. In which the vessel labored badly, and was so severely strained that she begsn to leak. For nine days the wind blew heavily from the westward, and the nneven seas boarded the schooner on all sides, causing her to leak at the rate of 1,000 strokes per hour.

All bands went to the pumps, where they worked steadily for a number of days. The wind suddenly shifted to south south-west, from which quarter It blew for 12 hours and then veered, to west-north-west- While the gale blew from the latter direction It was accompanied by heavy raualls which threatened to tear away the spars ana rig-ring, although hardly anv sail was carried at the time. The schooner bad not carried a whole suit of sails since leaving Narassa. The seas loenme still more confused, and broke over the vessel in a dangerous manner, and the leak gained on the crew until, early on tbe morning of the irth. there were four feet of water in tbe hold, and the men were almost exhausted from constant labor at the pumps.

Signals of distress were made as soon as tht, Arthur C. Wade was Very little wan saved besides the seaman's clothing and tbe ship's papers and Instruments. The men speak very highly of their treatment while on board tbe bark. They wiil probably start for their home in Maine to-day. The L.

W. Wheeler was built in 1868 at Damaris-cotta. where Mr. Abner Stetson, ber principal owner, resides, but she bas been thoroughly repaired since. She had double decks and registered Its; tons.

It is thought here that she jwas uninsured. Capt. Sacbariasen. of the Norwegian- ship Thor. which arrived from Hamburg yesterday, reports that he came by the northern passage.

On March 8, when off tbe Scilly Islands, the "ship was struck by a terrific squall. Sail waa shortened asquickly as possible, but the main and mizzen topmasts were carried away and the head-sails were lost. After the squall 'repairs were made, and the ship kept on her course without meeting with any more bad weather. The schooner Maud Robinson, from Sagua la Grande parsed a quantity of wreckage, consisting principally ot empty petroleum barrels and cabin-work, painted white, last Monday, about 20 miles east of Cape Henlopen. This wreckage did not appear to have been long in the water.

Cnpt. Bond, of the British steam-ship Rialto, from Hull, reports a stormy voyage of 16j days. Heavy westerly winds. with foes and rain, prevailed nearly all tbe time. Tbe steam-ship Helvetia, of the National Line, from Liverpool, encountered westerly gales during the early part of the passage.

OBSTRUCTIONS ON BULKHEADS. MERCHANTS RESIST A HKCEHT ORDER BCILDI5G FOR A' STEAM-BOAT A committee of merchants, consisting Of Messrs. J. L. Riser.

J. D. Wing, and J. M. Taylor, called on the Dock Commissioners yesterday, and presented a petition for a modification of the order of the board relative to the removal of merchandise and other obstructions on the bulkhead line of the improved part of West-street.

The attention of the board was recently directed to the crowded condition of that street, resulting from a practice by importers of leaving certain kinds of raw material and cheap goods in front ot the piers for weeks and months at a time. Other obstructions were found, in the shape of oyster stands, restaurr.nt booths, and trucks. All these It wast decided to remove, and the steam-ship companies were given notice that on and after April 25 the board would not permit them to place anv goods on tbe bulkhead. The gentlemen who appeared before the Commissioners to ask for a modification of the order, urged the following reasons in their written petition: Unless this order can be modified. It will preclude our citizens continuing tbe small part of the distributing or lobbing business now lett them in raw materials and cheap merchandise required by the manufacturing interests of our country and the trade naturally belonging to the Metropolis.

In fact, it is largely owing to the facilities afforded by the bulkhead (where such merchandise not materially injured by exposure to tbe weather bas been allowed to remain until it could be removed) that New-York has retained even what remains of her trade in raw material in competing against the greater inducements and facilities offered by the various Atlantic cities and tbe railroads running out of them to di vert these shipments to their ports." Mr. Riser Informed the Commissioners that It would be impossible for the dealers in this City to compete with those of Philadelphia, Boston, and other sea-board cities if their goods were not allowed to remain on tbe bulkhead at least two weeks He had been a merchant for 30 years, he remarked, and bad never known a worse time for selling goods than the present. A special bearing will be given tbe petitioners to-morrow morning. The Iron Steam-boat Company filed plans for a two-story structure of wood and iron, which they Intend to erect on Pier No. 1 North River, which bas been leased by them for the term of 10 years at an annual rental of 30.100.

Tbe interior of the building on the pier will be divided into handsome waiting ropms for passengers, a restaurant. Superintendent's offices, store-rooms, and other apartments. The company were granted tbe free use of the pier fqrthe mouth of April, with the under-standlcg that the water around it was to be dredged at their own expense. An application filed some time ago by the Red Cross Steam-ship Company for one of the new piers on the North River was yesterday withdrawn, the company having made other arrangements. ELEGANT SUITS AND MANTLES.

AX ELABORATE OPEXINO DISPLAY MADE BT ARNOLD, CONSTABLE CO. Arnold, Constable Co. opened a large and costly stock of Parisian mantles and suits In theli store at Broadway and Nineteenth-street yester day. and the sales-rooms were thronged with cus tomers and visitors from early In the morn Ins until the hour of closing. The Imported suits or exhibition are very elegant.

Among the mosi elaborate of the dresses is one of changeable silk. trimmed with ecru, with embroidered cuffs and waistcoat In Persian colors.

On one side is a cascade of lace, and the other Is ornamented with drapery of satin de Lyon.

A black brocaded satin dress, with full train, trimmed with cascade! of black lace, with the jacket embroidered In colors, was the centre of attractloi yesterday. It Is a magnificent specimen of tb modiste's art, and will draw a large check from thi hand of some affectionate husband. Not the leasi interesting feature of the exhibition is a large as sortment of elegant opera cloaks, of which Arnold Constable A Co. make a specialty. One of thi most elaborate is a long wrap of Japanese texture threaded with gold, and bearing on its surface figures of birds, fishes, and other emblems.

An other is of white satin brocade, trimmed with frills of point d'Alencon. the sleeves being orna mented with ostrich feathers and fringe.

Mr. Gayli thought the note of warning was undoubted written in a disguised haad and that its auth was the author of the specimens Whittaker. I presented an exhibit In tbe shape of a made-c note of warning, differing from that of expert Ames in that no letter was used in its composiUqta that was not fotmd in the specimens of Whlttakerfi handwriting. The initial in Mr." was missing altogether, no such Initial existing In the words In the Whittaker specimens, and therefore Mr. Gayler refrained from making one up.

hatch argues nr ator OP THE MOTIOJf. The argument on a motion to con tin no the temporary injunction obtained by Rufus Hat oh. and by which the Western Union, the American talon, and the Atlantic aad Pacific Telegraph Companies, the Union Trust Company, and the Directors Of the Western union Company ln- Tidually, are restrained from doing anything ito tarry into lenect tne agreement ot consouuauon between thi three first-named companies, went on. esterdsy. in Superior Court, Chambers, before Judge Spehf.

Mr. William A- Beach made a long argument the motion. He admitted that tbe lefendants counsel were correct in their position tl at tbe decision of Judge Barrett, the Supreme Court, Jolly affirmed the tght of I the telegraph companies to lake the agreement of consolidation. He.admlt- ed also, thkt if the agreement bad been fully exe cuted no sqch injunction as that now applied for ould be granted. That contract, however, was bet executed.

Its execution had been stayed, first by legal jjroceedings In-, the Supreme Court, knd afterwards by the decision of Judge kedgwick. in the Superior Court. That de- ision had declared that it was illegal for be Wesiern Union Company to issue Its capital stock, representing its sur plus earnings, to its stockholders. Jar. rieacn con-idered that the conclusion arrived at by Chief-ustlce Sedkrwick was correct, and he argued that krhen a.

comorAtlon earns a srreater income than is efficient td pay a fair interest to its stockholders ihe surpiuslhelongs to the public from which it was rierivea. Tthts seemed to him a -plain principle of L-quity and morality. He could Imagine no circumstances unfler which the Western I'nlon stock- loiaers wouiu nave a ngui to a uiTiuenu iroui iiirolus earnings. He urged, therefore, that Judge speir should sustain tbe decision of his colleague, hief -Justice Sedgwick, in the Williams case and upply it to the present cae. Mr.

Beacb remarked that his opponents that Mr. Rufus Hatch bad no reason to complain of the ngreementlof consolidation, 'becuuse under it be would matie money. He would get, they said, in the distribution of the stock dividend. 48 percent. of the frUxf now held by him.

As a matter of calculation mat was true; out it was no argument in he present case. The question was, whethor the proceeding was legal or equita ble. Mr i Beach said he did not rare to parade his client, Mr. Hatch, as an especially consclf nti( ns man. nor to assert that in this pro-' feeding he was actuated by virtuous motives.

But be would ay that Mr. Hatch's attitude was one ot virtue. II Ito position simply that of a stockholder of the Western Union, who. after A legal de cision had been rendered declaring that the pro posed stock dividend was illegal, came into court ana aexea mat mat aecimon should be carried to its loirical conseouence. The f)lan of a ock dividend had been devised by the argest hoi lers of Western Unionstock for tbe purpose of mil king money.

They had commended it to Mr. Hat -h. saying that it could be carried out In defiance of public opinion, because the Legislature, dictated tr by the large and vigilant lobby of the Western ITnion Company, would not interfere. Mr. Hatch while not indorsing the morality of the proposition, waa willing to accept its results, in view of the arpsrent certainty that it would be carried out.

The smaller stockholders of tbe Western I'nion Company frere brined, by the hope of a stock dividend, to annrove the agreement of consolidation. If they were not brihea they certainly would not have approved ia contract by which the Western Union was to par such large sums for the plant of the other two telegraph companies. Now that it has been decided that the Western Union cannot make a stock dividend. Mr. Beach argued that the other terms of t.e agreement were nullified.

It would be against equity to prohibit the American Union and the Atlantic and Pacific Companies to be paid for their property out of a capital stock of instead of one of which was the sum contemplated by the agreement, if theywereiso paid, the stockholders of the seller companies would receive 48 per cent, more than the stockholders of the Western Union agreed to five then. It was thus clear, said Mr. Beach, that in ecnity and in Justice to the Western Union stockholders the agreement should not be carried out. as It had been rendered ineffective in all its features by the decision of Judge Sedgwick. Tbe Injunction should therefore be continued until all the disputed matters could be finally settled by trial.

As Ito the assertion that innocent holders of Western Union scrip Issued for stock of the other two companies were hurt by the injunction, Mr. Beach said that It amounted to nothing, because those persons had trafficked in the scrip In defiance of the order of the court. Mr. Beach finished bis remarks with an appeal to Judge Spetr to continue tbe injunction. Mr.

A. JiVanderpoel began to answer tbe remarks of Mr. Beach, but after a few minutes became ill, and had to retire. Tbe case was adjourned until this morning, when the hearing will be had on the motion toj punish the officers and Directors of the Western nlon Company for, contempt, in taking proceedings under the agreement of consolidation, which. Mr.

Hatch claims, was deprived of all effect by the de of Chief-Justice Sedgwick. P0S1 'MASTER-GENERAL JAMES. WHY III DECLINES AN INVITATION TO DINE I It was WITH THE MERCHANTS.

TEBDI A OA IS ST. Ay ELEVATED SO AD. Publi Administrator Algernon 6. Sullivan sued thi Manhattan Railway Company for $3,000 damage alleging that by their negligence a man named 'allahan was killed. The suit was for the benefit it Callahan's widowed mother.

Callahan, was a sinter, and, with another workman, was upon a i staging swung under the bridge over the elevate I railroad at Thirty-fourth -street and Third-avenue. They were painting the under side of tbe bridge. The smoke-stack of a locomotive struck the staging, and, knocking It down, threw Callahan into tbe roadway. He died soon afterward. The complaint alleged that tbe locomotive's smokestack wfhich struck tbe staging waa higher than any other smoke-stack, and that the staging was swung high enough to avoid the tops o( all the others.

The detentte was that tbe locomotive which struck the staging waa in use on the road all the night prior to the accident, had passed repeatedly under the Lairing, and that the. accident was caused by the ropes which upheld the staging being stretched by wet weather and the weight of tbe mechanics. The case was tried before Judge Barrett and a Jury In she Supreme Court, Circuit. A verdict for $3,000 damages was rendered yesterday. TBS SEAWASHAKA DJ3ASTES.

That the undersigned refiners declare their unwillingness to recognize in any form the New-York Sugar Exchange, and that they will buy no sugars under the rules and regulations Imposed by such Exchange. -v Tbe resolution is signed by Havemeyer A Elder. De Castro A the F. O. Matthiessen A Wetehers Sugar Refining Company, -the Brooklyn Sugar Refining Company.

Dick A Meyer, the Havemeyer Sugar Refining Company. oiler, Merck A Thomas Oxnsrd, and W. Purant A Son. These firms control tbe sugar refinfng trade of this City, end together they Import directly about one-quarter of the raw sugars that come here. One of them said yest.rday that if necessary they would form a syndicate and import all their sugars.

He gave as the principal reason for their opposition to the Exchange that as there are only eight or nine of them they would be greatly outnumbered in such a body by the Importers, who would consequently be able to make rules tosait themselves. This heclaimed to be the object of the importers in establishing the Exchange. They profess to have no fears of the ultimate result of the contest. Tbey say that It will be Impossible for the refiners to carry out their threat of turning importers themselves, and they propose to continue the fight 'for the maintenance of the Exchange, whose existence, they say, is necessary to correct the abuses which the control held by the refiners has caused to creep Into the trade. Meantime, the importers continue to monopolize the membership of the Exchange, which Is doing no business, the brokers holding aloof to see which side will win in the struggle.

THE CITY DEMOCRACY. HOSE OPPOSED TO TAMMANY ADOPT A FLA5 OF ORGANIZATION. The Committee of One Hundred, appointed at the Democratic mass-meeting held in the Cooper Institute early last Winter to reorganize the party "upon a popular basis," met last evening, Charles Creary in the chair, and received along report from its Sub-Committee of Twenty-one. This report embodied a permanent plan of organization for the party, which, after some discussion, waa adopted. It provides for tbe formation of Election District As sociatlons in each lection district, a committee in each Assembly district, a County Committee, conventions for making nominations, and conventions for choosing delegates to other conventions.

All primary elections shall be held at election district primary meetings, and the voters "shall be Democratic electors who were duly registered for the last preceding general election in the election district in which they reside at tbe time the primary meeting Is held. who are duly qualified members of the election district Association of that district" Elections shall be opeji, each person offering to vote stating bis name and residence, which shall be recorded by the tellers. He is liable to challenge, and his vote shall be rejected on the decision of two judges. To the County conventions and to each convention, to be chosen exclusively In one Assembly district, there shall be elected one delegate in each election district for each 100 votes cast at the last Presidential election, and to all nominating conventions one delegate from each election district. Each Assembly district is entitled to an equal representation in the County Committee.

Tbe Committee of One Hundred shall call the first primary elections under the permanent plan, send a person to call the meetings to order, decide If necessary as to their regularity, and, in short, make the permanent organization. After considerable discussion, it was determined that the name of tbe new organization should toe The New-York County Democracy." It was then resolved that the Sub-Cr-'nmlttee of Twenty-one should be instructed to arrange for the holding of primaries in pursuance of tbe plan adopted as soon as possible. PAIXT1SGS AT A VCTIOX.
