A CENTENNIAL BIRTHDAY ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD AND STILL CHEERY. OTE GENERATIONS ASSEMBLED TO DO HONOR TO MRS. CLARISSA RAYMOND BRIEF 8KETCH OF THE OLD LADY'S LIFE HER RECOLLECTIONS OF NEW-YORK CITT. Wilton, April 25. A gray-haired laay whose face, while bright and Intelligent, be-ipoke extreme old age.

tat In an easy chair Jn a large and hospitable looking house on theedjr-of the little hamlet of Wilton to-day. A throne surrounded her that was composed of persons of all ages from toddling babet to white-locked men and women, who looked scarcely younjrer than the one who was the centre of the assemblage. The old lady was Clarissa Raymond, the relict of Samnel Raymond, who departed this world 66 years ago, and she was celebrating the one-hundredth annlver-lary of her birthday. The gathering that clung about her numbered over 100. and comprised her descendants.

Including herself, fire generations were represented. Among the oldest in the company were the two surviving daughters of the centenarian, Mrs. Ann Raymond, aged 77. widow of the late Samnel Raymond, of South Norwalk, ind Mrs. Clarissa Comstock, aged 76, widow of the ate Nathan Comstock, at whose residence the ivent was celebrated.

The youngest were Alice Comstock, aged 7 months, and Raymond Com-itock, aged 2 years and 1 month, the children or Frank Comstock. of Norwalk. a great-rrandson of the centenarian. Mrs. Raymond was born iu the town of Stamford.

April 25, 1783. Deodate Raymond, her brother, was the rrandson of the Rev. John Davenport, who was Pastor of the Stamford Congregational Church from 1093 to In Canaan, in 18M. she married Samuel- Raymond and removed to Poundridse, N. Y.

Soon after they went to New-York City, where they resided in Hester-street until 1816. Mr. Raymond died in that year and Mrs. Raymond removed to Wilton, in which township she has ever since lived. During her latter years she has resided with her daughter.

Mrs. Comstock, and until a short time ago the five generations were represented in the single household. There are living in the direct line of descent two children of Raymond, 13 grandchildren. 19 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren, in 1822 Mrs. Raymond became connected with the Wilton Congregational Church, now over 150 years old.

and she still remains a member. Mrs. Raymond received the guests in a black satin dress made 60 years ago. On her bead she wore a neat cap. She was in excellent spirits and expressed great pleasure at seeing people she had not seen before, many of them, for 10 and 20 years.

The old lady told some of the incidents of her life In quaint way to her interested listeners. In her girlhood only ox-carts were used, and in making Journeys the people rode on horseback. When a man and his wife started on a trip the latter sat behind her husband on the horse. The first carriage ever seen in the part of the country in which she lived was procured for the use of an invalid lady. In these days it would be considered a cumbersome thing, but then it created a great deal of talk.

The women folk suffered a great deal for the want of tea. When Mrs. Raymond and her husband went to New-York they traveled in a wagon, and went over the old Boston road to the City. The upper part and. In fact, all of Manhattan Island above what Is now called Eighth-street, was unsettled.

The ground was irregular and thickly covered with trees and bushes. "You know those hills between Chatham-street and the East River?" said Mrs. Raymond to a visitor from New-York; but I suppose they are pretty much dug away now. An awful sight of digging was going on wnen came away." The house that Mrs. Raymond and her husband occupied was a pretty two-story frame structure In the centre of a large yard in Hester-street.

The business nart of the City was away down on the Battery and along the docks, and Broadway down to Bowling Green was the fashionable quarter for residences. Wnen the war of 1812 broke out the soldiers were garrisoned Just above Grand-street, on the East River. I was glad when they moved up to Stuyvesant Green, (now Stuyvesant-square.) because I had grown tired of hearing the drums. All of the able-bodied men in the City were compelled to go out in the morning and mark time so as to be ready to do service If required. There was a great deal of talk of stretching a big chain across the East River to keep out the enemy's ships.

When peace was declared Col. Wet's house was all lighted up. Col. Willet owned a big parcel of land, but I suppose it is all covered with buildings now." When Mrs. Raymond lived in New-York the Citv was lighted with lamps filled with fish-oil, which stood at the corners of Intersecting streets.

She remembered well the launohof Robert Fulton's steam-boat, the Clermont, and the excitement it created. When asked what business the people of New-York were mostly engaged in at the time, she said "a great many were engaged in digging out bills." The Bowery was almost out in the country, and a favorite resort on pleasant days. Harlem was considered a long dlstanoe off. When Mrs. Raymond left New-York to go to Wilton she took a packet boat through Long Island Sound, and was a week making the journey.

I was in New-York 25 years ago," said Mrs. Raymocd. "and I went ud on the housetops. I declare I could see notnlng but roofs." The first steam-boat that she rode on 35 years ago was in making a trip from Norwalk to Bridgeport. It was run by Capt.

Brooks, and she called it a shocking old thing." and the was afraid of her life when riding on it. The first train that she saw was on the Dan bury and Norwalk Railroad 28 years ago. When young she sang "counter" or alto in the church choir, and to this day, her relatives said, she always asked who took the lead at meeting." Three pairs of men's cotton socks that the old lady knit In ber one hundredth year were exhibited. Miss Annie Vail, a great-granddaughter, the daughter of J. J.

Vail, of Brooklyn, Long Island, presented a basket of flowers with 100" in pnrple In a bank of white, and a neice. Mrs. Eugene Smith, of New-York, a handsome box containing knitting needles, and many other gifts were received. After dinner an address was delivered by the Rev. James W.

llubbell. of Danbury; a poem written for the occasion was read by John O. Davenport, of Water-bury, and prayer was said by the Rev. Frank Thompson, of Wilton. Mrs.

Raymond enjoys remarkably good health. Her hearing is good and she can see to read large print without glasses. She is quite active and is always happy to receive friends. She often piles up blocks on the floor for her great-great-grauj children to play with. Her relatives attribute her long life to plain living, regular habits, and an even temperament UAPLESON'S PROPERTY A TTA CHED WARRANT TO ENFORCE MINNIE HATJX's UNSATISFIED JUDGMENT.

An attachment was granted by Judge Barrett, Supreme Court, Chambers, yesterday, against property of Cot James Henry Mapleson. the Manager of her Majesty's Opera Company. Mme. Uinnle Hauk Wartegg. the prima donna, is the plaintiff in the snlt in which the warrant Is obtained.

She seeks to compel CoL Mapleson to pay ter $1,177 72, with Interest from January, 188a Her demand for this sum Is based upon a Judgment for 242 which was rendered In her favor against Col. Mapleson In the High Court of Justioe, Exchequer Division, in London, England, on Oot 15, 1880. The attachment In the present suit Is granted on the ground that CoL Mapleson Is anon-resident of this State. The sureties npoh the two-bundred-and-fifty loUar bond given by the plaintiff are Messrs. August Belmont and Oustav Schlr-mr.

The affidavit of Mme. Hauk-Wartegg npon which the warrant of attachment was obtained was verified on March 81 last, and the undertaking was prepared on April 1. Why the attachment was not procured as soon as all the papers were ready for use Is known only to the parties to the lult. Col. Mapleson could not be seen last night, but Sis son, Mr.

Charles Mapleson, explained the mat ter to a times reporter as iouows: in the Fall or 1870 my brother Henry, Marie R6ze's husband, you tnow, gave an extra season of opera In London with Minnie Hauk, dl Murska, and others. My father allowed him to use his name to help the thing along. The season was not a success owing to some Jealousies In the company, and at the close there was a balance dne both to Minnie Hauk and dl Murska. Both of them sued my father for the amounts and both were beaten, but In the succeeding Fall, after my father had come to New-York. Minnie Hauk's London lawyers brought a Dew sutt against him there.

Instead of serving the notice of the suit on my father's lawyer there they sent it to bis residence, and, of course, when the case was called and no answer was made, judgment in default was secured against my father. Nothing more was done about the matter, however, and it was almost forgotten until last Fall, when mv father, in making the engagement for the season with Minnie Hauk. began to cut the terms rather fine, and she reminded him of that old matter. He then told her verbally that he would make the matter all right, but there was no mention of It In the contract." Mr. Mapleson added that his father wonld probably get out a counter-attachment against Mme.

Hauk's effects. FATAL MEVIEW AT FOBTBESS MONBOE. Fortress Monroe, April 25.

Scotch Plains is the name borne by a New-Jersey hamlet about four miles north of Plainfield. One of the most modest cottages in the village is occupied by an old ladv named Brown and her two daughters, Mary and Margaret. Forty odd years have passed since both the daughters were born, and time has not used either gently. Some two years ago they became acquainted with an old gentleman named Peter Clawson. living in Dunel-len.

about seven miles from Scotch Plains. Thongh the old man has passed over 60 years in the free enjoyment of bachelorhood, he has long since tired of that estate, and for years has been searching for a wife. His adventures have been singularly unfortunate, and though engagement rings and wedding suits have several times been purchased by him. something has always happened to interfere with the holy banns. Since he met the Misses Brown.

Mr. Claw-son has made no less than three matrimonial attempts. None of these was connected with the fair ladies of Scotch Plains, and until a few weeks ago it was not even suspected that his heart was leaning in that direction. At that time he sold his farm rear Dunellen. upon which he had been living, to a Mr.

Smith for $600. The money was placed to his credit in a New-Brunswick bank, and Mr. Claw-son determined not to rest till he had found a partner with whom to share his good fortune. Then it was that be thought of the sisters whom he had met two years before, and be at once started for Scotch Plains. The ladies received him graciously, and spread out all the delicacies of their pantry.

He told them of his wandering vicissitudes, and they extended their sympathy. He narrated the story of his recent mercantile transaction, and they gave him their hearty congratulations? He boldly announced his determination to marry, and they applauded his resolution to the echo. The old gentleman was now in a quandary, as he couldn't marry both. Hapnily for Margaret. Mary was called out of the room, and when she returned ber sister and the old man were betrothed.

As Mr. Clawson was without a he was easily prevailed on to accept that of bis sweetheart. He grew very confidential In his relations with all the members of the family which he was soon to make his own. He bought tbem a me-lodeon, carpets, a sewing-machine, gold rings, dresses, cloaks, watches, chains, and many other souvenirs of his affection. When be went out he left his money and watch in their keeping.

The marriage with Margarst was arranged for yesterday, and In anticipation of the Joyous event he bought a handsome bedroom set, and gave his wife 860 with which to set up honsekeeping. Last Saturday afternoon the Mr. Smith to whom the old man bad sold his farm drove up to the cottage of Mrs. Brown, and, calling for Mr. Clawson.

demanded 20 which be claimed as borrowed money. The old man opened his purse, but found only left He asked his betrothed for the balance, but the gentle Margaret demurred, and Mr. Clawson was obliged to request nis friend to wait until be was married. It was necessary to go to Dunellen to make some preparations for the festive occasion. He departed on Saturday night, promising to return on Monday.

On that day. arrayed in her bridal costume. Margaret waited all day for the coming of the groom. The shadows began to lengthen, but still the ancient lover failed to put in an appearance. As she was about giving him up.

Margaret heard a loud noise outside the door, and, opening it In blushing haste, was astounded to find the heavy hand of Constable Moffett on her shoulder, and to hear him announce that sbo was his prisoner. The Constable was accom- anted by her late lover and his friend Ir. Smith. Margaret promptly fainted, and Mary began to scream. You're my prisoner, too," said Constable Moffett to tne latter, "and you are both harged with stealing S200 and a watch from Peter Clawson." The house was searched, and Clawson's watch, clothes, and $100 in money were found.

The entire party were then driven over to Plain-field, where the unfortunate Misses Brown were given a hearing before Justice L. E. Clark. While that official was adjusting his eye glasses and taking down bis ponderous books of law, Margaret began to approach her recreant lover, who was stated quietly on a bench. She took a seat by his side, and laid her hand on his arm.

"Didn't you say you loved me, Peter?" she asked. The old man made no reply. Didn't yon tell me you'd marry me, Peter?" she continued. As Peter remained motionless Margaret threw her arms about his neck, and filled the room with cries of lamentation. The old man struggled to free himself, and called loudly to the officers for protection.

Margaret was soon quieted, and the examination proceeded. On the strength of the old man's testimony the sisters were beld In default of $350 bail each. When this decision was annonnced Margaret became furious, and demanded that the Justice should perform the ceremony of marriage between her and Clawson then and and there, or she would sue for breach of promise. Under the protection of his friend Mr. Smith, Mr.

Clawson was obdurate, and his former enchantress and her sister were sent to Jail. Yesterday morning bail was furnished by Mrs. Brown, and they were released. Margaret announced her firm determination to sue for heavy damages. THE INDIAN OU1 BREAK.

Tucson, Arizona, April 25. A correspondent at Safford's gives the following account of the recent Indian attack: Stanislaus Metas, 0 years old. has just arrived from Stevens's sheep camp with the following story of the Indian massacre on April 18: "Before daylight the Indians attacked the camp while we were all asleep My father and five other men attempted to ge their guns, but were too late. The Indians rushed in from all sides and overpowered them efore a shot could be fired. The work of slaughter then began.

An Indian pnt the muzzle of his gun against the head of one man and fired, blowing his brains against the door and walls. I saw them km my mother and two brothers by beating their brains ont with stones. They killed five persons, and tied my father and tortured him most dreadfully. He begged them to spare him, but they only tortured him the more, and finally they split his skull with an axe. An Indian squaw, the wife of one of four friendly Apache sheep-herders, who worked with us, saved my life by holding me behind her and begging them to spare me.

When all the Mexicans were dead except me the Indians left" The squaw who arrived with the boy says there were S3 warriors In the attacking party. They called themSelves Chiricahuas, and said they were going straight to the San Carlos Agency to kill off the whites and get more Indians to join thorn. They also declared that they wonld kill all the inhabitants of this valley. The hostiles frequently declared that their desire was to kill in retaliation for the three Indians recently banged at Fort Grant Later news from the front is to the effect that the whole force of about 300 Indians, Including women and children, crossed the Southern Pacific track last night going south, near Lordsburg. The present outbreak is the most disastrous which ever occurred In Arizona.

I galloped for 16 miles to them and found the Indians strongly intrenched in Stein's Peas; Range.

Attacked them at once and drove them from their Intrenched position. They fell back and occupied two Impregnable positions which were from 6 to 18 feet high. Found it impossible to dislodge them without great loss. I gave np further operations at 5 o'clock and started again for Richmond. My loss was four Indian scouts and one private.

Alvord denounced the bill as useless and. as usual, as unconstitutional. He was sharply taken to task by his colleague. Major Farrar, who declared that some such provisions as those embodied in this measure were needed In every county of the State. He had seen the necessity for rigid regulation of the primaries in his own city and be knew full well how a few men were enabled, in the absence of wise and stringent laws, to transform a minority into a majority and otherwise thwart the will of the voters.

Mr. Roosevelt said that it was evident from the votes of bis colleagues from New-York that a majority of them were opposed to any regulation of the primaries. That fact of itself, he maiutained, was sufficient to convince him that the bill was an excellent one. He only regretted that it did not apply to New-York, where it was much needed as It is in Brooklyn. The members from New-York, who by their votes are now on record as opposed to a purification of the Srimaries, are Assemblymen Ahearn.

Democrat; rodsky. Republican; Cooper. Democrat; Major Haggerty. Tammany Democrat, whose sole objection was that it was not made applicable to the whole State: McClelland. Democrat; McManus.

Tammanv Democrat; Maher. Tammany Democrat; Murphy, Irving Hall Democrat; Niglutsch, Republican E. Sheehy, Tammany Democrat Gov. Cornell sent to the Assembly a message urging the adoption of a bill which has been prepared to meet bis views, making an appropriation of $50,000 for the purchase of a site and the erection of buildings thereon for camps of Instruction for the National Guard. The Adjutant-General, the Inspector-General, and the Chief of Ordnance are appointed commissioners to select and purchase the site.

No part of the appropriation, however, is to be expended by the commissioners, except with the approval of the Governor. The bill, after some debate, in which ex-Gov. Alvord tools the ground that the bill should be sent to the Ways and Means Committee, was referred to the Militia Committee, on motion of Col. Muroby. The action of the Governor In sending a bill of his own to the Legislature is criticised by a number of the members as most unusual and uncalled for.

In bis Message the Governor says: To promote the efficiency and usefulness ot the National Guard when required for actual service, the Military Code of this State authorizes the annual assembling of a part of the Guard In camp of Instruction, provided that not more than lo.uoo men in the aggregate may be so assembled in any one year. Hitherto theexpense necessary to maintain this military establishment has rendered It impossible to provide for such camps of instruction out of the appropriations made for military purposes. During the past two years, however, the force has been reduced In number from 20.000 to about liOiHJmen. In-order that those remaining In the servlee should be provided with camp experience and exercises In the field without an Increase of the ordinary expenses of this department, bile tha law it ample for the organization of a camp of Instruction, a careful examination discloses the fact that tt does not authorize the purchase of a site therefor, and In lew ot expense required properly to equip the camp for use. It Is not deemed prudent to make such an investment on leased ground.

It Is highly desirable that a portion of the troops should be encamped the present season, and selections have already been made of several regiments for such purpose. To enable the military department to discharge a duty which Is deemed essential, and even vital, to the maintenance of a proper and effective National Guard in this State, authority Isdeslred to acquire and improve the necessary site. For this purpose the accompanying bill has been prepared by my direction, and It Is herewith respectfully transmitted to the Legislature, with the hope that It will receive your early and favorable consideration." Those amendments to the Appropriation bill which were agreed upon by the members of the Conference Committee of both houses were approved by the House to-dav. The items are of minor importance, and the sum total varies little from that of the bill as originally prepared by the Ways and Means Committee The item of $.300,000 for the State Militia is restoted. The Senate.

It will be remembered, reduced this to $250,000. The items on which the joint committee of conference could not agree upon relate to the Catbolio Protectory, for which SS0.000 Is demanded by the Church beggars, and to the salaries of the Governor's private Secretary-, the Deputy Secretary of State. Deputy State Treasurer, and Secretary to the Board of Regents, all of which the Senate insisted upon, increasing them from $1,000 to $1,500 eaoh. A new committee to consider these items has been appointed by Speaker rauerson. it comprises Brooks, Murphy.

Poucher, Sharpe, and Brodsky. The Senate committee which will meet these gentlemen comprises Senators Jacobs, Lynde. and Grady. This last committee was made expressly to enforce the demand of the Catholio Protectory. There are a sufficient number of plastio gentlemen on the Assembly committee.

It is believed, to concnr In this item. Col. Murphy and Mr. Brodsky are relied upon to fill the bill. A host of bills received their third reading and were sent to the Senate.

Among them was the bill ot Mr. McManus. of New-York, prohibiting the selling of theatre tickets at a greater price than that established by the theatre managers, and making it a misdemeanor to sell these tiokets tor more than is charged in the box-office. Mr. Alvord and a number of other gentlemen agreed with the spirit of the measure, but objected to the form in which it Is presented as being unconstitutional.

The bill received 81 votes. Another bill whloh passed is that of Mr. Newman extending the terms of office of the Brooklyn Park Commissioners three years. The bill of Mr. Crane requiring the names and residences of physicians engaged in the Night Medical Service of New-York to be posted in conspiouous places, in order to facilitate the speedy summoning of such gentlemen, was passed.

The Commissioners of Emigration have discovered that the steam-ship companies of New-York will make no terms with them whereby so much per capita for each emigrant landed at Castle Garden shall be paid into the emigration fund. Some of the Commissioners, believing they could persuade the companies to treat with them, secured the passage of a bill some time ago the provisions or which It was deolared would relieve the Siate from the necessity of making annual appropriations for the support of the commission. This has failed of its purpose, and a bill to provide for Its maintenance, as usual, was Introduced by Mr. Brooks to-day. It directs the State Controller to draw and the Treasurer to pay warrants in favor of the Commissioners of Emigration to the amount of $2:0,000 for the year commencing May 1 next.

If, however, any appropriation is made by Congress a bill to secure such relief being now before that body then the State is relieved of further expense. Mr. Brodsky introduced the annual bill of Mr. Bergh's prohibiting the vivisection of animals. The bill is accompanied by a petition drawn by the same eminent authority on matters relating to the brute creation of New-York City, in which the practice of cutting and carving up animals to illustrate either theories or lectures is denounced as demoralizing.

The terra vivisection nsedin the aot includes every investigation, experiment or demonstration producing, or of a nature to produce, pain or disease in any living animal, including the cutting, wounding, or poisoning thereof, except when the same is tor the'purpose of curing or alleviating some physical suffering or disease In such living animal, or in order to deprive it of life when incurable. Mr. McClelland introduced a bill repealing the act requiring the publication of judicial procedings and of legal notices in the Daily Register of New-York. THE SENATE'S DISCUSSIONS. Albany, April 25.

Mr. Russell's bill to legalize and protect primary elections and conventions in Brooklyn occupied a large portion of the session of the Senate to-day, and was finally ordered to a third reading. From the discussions of the bill it would appear that most of the Senators have very little confidence in the measure as a relief from the political evils growing ontof primary elections. Tney were all careful to have their districts excepted from its provisions, and while some doubted its constitutionality, yet they were willing that Brooklyn should try the experiment Mr. Boyd's bill requiring savings banks to publish, on the first of each year, a list of the names of depositors whose accounts have been standing without change for a period of 20 years was ordered to a third reading.

The list Is required to be pub-, lisbed in the paper having the largest circulation in the county where the bank is situated, and the expense of tne advertisement is to be paid from the accounts embraced in the list The Assembly bill forbidding the recovery or sale of furniture, sewing-machines, tc, sold on installments until 25 per cent of the money advanced has been returned was ordered to a third readiag. Among a large number of bills whloh were read a. third time andLsassed were the following; Mr. Grauv's bill Increasing and equalizing the pay of members of the Police and Fire Departments. This bill will add about $80,000 annually to the expense of the New-York City Government Immediately, and ten times that snm In a few years from now.

The bill legalizing the conveyances of property by the City of New-York whloh were defective on account of the absence of the Mayor's signature. The bill authorizing the Supreme Court Judges of Brooklyn to appoint four stenographers at salaries of $2,000 each. The bill exempting cities from liability for accidents caused by defective streets unless notice of the defect bo given to the proper munloipal authority 24 hours before the accident occurred. The bill giving the defense In trials for capital crimes the closing speech in summing up was passed by 17 votes, after a long discussion. It is an Innovation npon long-established usage in this country and England and does not meet the approval of lawyers generally.

The bill will not be likely to pass the Assembly. Senator Kiernan introduced a bill to exempt from taxation all vessels, boats, and other craft engaged in inland commerce in this State, together with their receipts and the capital Invested in the business. It is entitled A bill to promote commerce in the inland navigable waters of the State." Mr. Kiernan has received a petition, signed by the Presidents of the Stock Exchange, the Produce Exchange, the Cotton Exchange, and the Maritime Exchange, asking for the passage of the bill introduced by him last week permitting interest on call loans at any rate that may be agreed upon by the parties. The Senate Finance Committee this evening, by a vote of 4 to 8, rejected the Governor's nomination of Dr.

Stephen Smith, of New-York, to succeed Dr. Ordronanx. of Queens County, as State Commissioner in Lunacy. All the Democrats voted against the nomination and the Republicans for it The same committee agreed to report favorably the bill appropriating $15,000 toward the oentennial celebration at Newburg, in 1886. The Assembly Commerce and Navigation Committee agreed unanimously on a favorable report of the bill introduced by Mr.

Brooks last week to reduce the number of Quarantine Commissioners from three to one. the reduction to take effect next Spring, on the expiration of the terms of the present Commissioners. The Senate Jndioiary Committee this evening agreed on a favorable report of Mr. Daly's amendment to the Constitution providing for local self-government in cities. The Anti-monopolists are to hold a convention or conference here to-morrow, and among the delegates who have already arrived are F.

B. Thnrber and Fred A. Conkling. of New-York; Thomas Kin-sella and John F. Henry, of Brooklyn, and ex-Congressman McDougal.

of Cayuga. Tammany has also sent ud its quota of delegates of the stamn that usually represents that organization. Preoisely what object the gathering has in view in coming together here at this this time no one appears to know, not even the delegates themselves. It Is assumed that they desire to make an Impression on the Legislature In connection with some of their pet measures now pending. But there is quite as muoh difference of opinion among them touohing these measures as there is among members of the Legislature.

On the Railroad Commission bill, for instance, they are at loggerheads, a portion favoring the election of the Commissioners by the people, others favoring their appointment by the Governor, and still others approving the method of appointment provided In the bill reported from the Senate Committee. It is expected that they will also have something to say on the Five-Cent Fare bill, which was ordered to third reading in the Senate, without debate, two weeks ago, and has never been heard of since. The Tammany Senators claim to have been elected on that issne, but none of them has called the bill up for final passage, and it is reported to be securely locked up in the safe of the Secretary of the Senate. Mr. Boyd, who introduced it has suffered bis ardor to cool, and still permits his constituents to pay in cents for riding from the Battery to Harlem without a protest THE MANHATTAN INVESTIGATION.

LAWYERS FOR THE COMMITTEE FOUR MEMBERS WHO FROWN ON THE WORK. Albany, April 25. The Assembly Judiciary Committee has finally settled upon two lawyers to serve as its counsel in the Westbrook-Ward investigation. These gentlemen are Francis L. Stetson, of the firm of Bangs Stetson, of New-York, and Mr.

Albertls Perry. Mr. Stetson is the choice of Mr. Roosevelt Mr. David B.

Ogden was also named by that gentleman as a lawyer who should be retained by the committee. Mr. Poucher, however, lugged In Mr. Perry as a gentleman who is a friend of his and who is well known in the western part of the State. The committee, by a majority vote, accepted these facts as qualifications, and so Mr.

Perry has been Invited to cooperate with Mr. Stetson in the investigation. Mr. Perry is not unknown in New-York. Both gentlemen are expected to be present at to-morrow's meeting of the committee, to receive a formal introduction.

This will be accomplished, and then another long delay must occur while the counsel are engaged in making ont a plan of action. At to-day's meeting of the committee another batch of documentary evidence was introduced in Judge Westbrook's behalf. This had been fished out of dark corners in the Albany County Clerk's office. Mr. Roosevelt also was persuaded, and the word is used literally, to deliver np a mass of evidence bearing npon the case of the Manhattan Railway Company and Judge Westbrook's connection therewith.

Inasmuch as the committee has insisted upon counsel, it is difficult to determine why that astute body desires information of Mr. Roosevelt or of anybody else nntil It Is fairly in working order. To the counsel of the committee, it Is argued. Information should properly- be presented. David Dudley Field attended the meeting of the Judiciary Committee to-day, presumably in the interest of Jay Gould and other notorious gentlemen whose interest he has so well guarded In the past Two weeks have now elapsed since the Judiciary Committee was instructed to investigate the acts of Judge Westbrook and ex-Attorney-General Ward.

In that time the committee has practically done nothing. Its conduct has been criticised as very strange, to say the least As a matter of fact it has not shown the slightest disposition to undertake the investigation. On the contrary, its sole efforts seem to have been in the direction of delay. It was well known before the committee began its labors that It was composed of elements that should never be tolerated if an honest investigation is really to be undertaken. There are at least four members of the committee who have frowned upon this Investigation from the very outset Every member of the House knows their names, and it is only fair to that portion of the committee wbioh is sincerely desirous of getting down to business to mention them.

They are Assemblymen Parker, Potter. McClelland, and Livingston. If they can give any explanation of their curious conduct aud cynical statements in committee the publio would be glad to hear them. It is not demanding too much to ask these gentlemen to retire and permit the Judiciary Committee to get to work in earnest Not one of these gentlemen is sincere in bis purpose of Investigating Judge Westbrook. Unless the committee purges itself forthwith and gives evidence of its honesty of purpose, some member of the Assembly may be expected to introdnce a resolution calling attention at least to its dilatory action.

The committee has, as a whole, been simply fooling with a most important matter, and too severe language cannot be used in denunciation ot its course. GENERAL RAILWAY NOTES. Boston, April 25. The Transcript's financial article says: There is a strong party form ing in the Atchison Railroad Company desiring a consolidation of the Atchison and Mexican Central Roads, and the election of President Strong, now of the Atchison Company, as Vice-President and General Manager, and President Thomas Nickerson, now of the Mexican Central Company, as President of the consolidated company. We have reason to believe that some of the largest and most conservative owners of Atohison stock have pronounced in favor of the projeot but it is urged that Mr.

Nickerson would not consent to it and that he does not believe a consolidation would best for the interest of either company." Coltjmbtjs, April 25. The Supreme Court to-day reversed the decision of the Court of Common Pleas of Franklin County, by which an order was issued during the Vanderbllt-Jewitt litigation for the appointment of a Receiver for the Cleveland, Columbus. Cincinnati, and Indianapolis Railway and all orders in aid of the same. The Receiver never got possession, but was enjoined on bis arrival In Cleveland last September. This virtually does away also with the contempt case and all pending litigation between Vanderbilt and Jewett over the attempted consolidation of the Ohio railways.

St. Louis, April 25. The opinion of Judge MeCrary in the case of the Pullman Palace Car Company against the Missouri Pacifio and Iron Mountain Railroads was given to-day in the United States court The claim was that by contract tn 877 the Missouri Pacifio Company had given the Pullman Company an exolnstve right to furnish drawing room and sleeping cars for 15 years over the Missouri Pacifio and all roads thereafter controlled by that company. It was further claimed that the Iron Mountain Road was now controlled by the Missouri Pacific Company, and an injunction was asked to prevent other sleeping cars from being used on the former road. Judge MeCrary refused the injunction.

Justice Miller, of the United States Supreme Court, concurs. Burlington. Iowa. April 25. At a meeting of- the stockholders of the Burlington and North -western Railway Company this evening, a resolution was adopted favoring the lease or sale of the road to the Iowa Central Road, and the formation of a new corporation to be known as the Chicago, Burlington and Pacific BRIBERY IN VIRGINIA.

Richmond, April 25. At a meeting of the Board of Sinking Fund Commissioners held this afternoon. Second Auditor H. H. Dyson and Treasurer D.

R. veley. constituting a majority of the board, filed an answer to Auditor Allen's protest against the awarding to the Kendail Bank Note Company, of New-York, of the contract for the engraving and printing of the new bonds. to be used in funding the State debt In their answer, after detailing the manner in which the contract was awarded to the lowest bidder, they say that so far as the allegation eentalned la the of Auditor Allen is concerned George H. Kendall approached him with what he believed was Intended as an improper solicitation in the form of an offer to compensate Mr.

Allen for his influence. They never heard of snch solicitation or Improper approach nntil after it had been decided to award the said contract to the Kendall Company. They were then of opinion that any public officer of Virginia would understand suoh a proposition as an assault npon his offioial integrity, and would have resented the insult immediately and taken steps to punish the offender against decency, propriety, and law. In the same connection Mr. Kendall submitted to the board an affidavit in which he sets forth the manner in which the bid of the Kendall company for printing the bonds.

Ac, was made and accented, and then goes on to state that in an interview with Auditor Allen the latter expressed unwillingness to award the contract to the Kendall company, saying that his (Mr. Allen's) party were under obligations to the American Bank Note Company for the snm of $5,000 advanced to assist in paying the capitation tax of voters to help United States Senator Mahone In his political campaign that certain members of his (Allen's) party sold short the bonds of the State of Virginia, and might be Interested in not having the readjustment of the State debt proceeded with to gain profit by the rising value of said bonds; that Mr. Allen bad said It was customary, he believed, to make certain rebates in bank note engraving contracts, and that he might Influence by means not stated to be improper the giving of the contract mentioning the sum of $1,000, distinctly stating that a present for bis trouble would not be objeotlonable. The examination of tne case of Mr. Kendall, for whose arrest a warrant was issued yesterday at the instance of Auditor Allen, will take place to-morrow morning.

Until then Mr. Kendall was balled in the sum of $1,000. THE HIGH PRICE OF BEEF. Chicago. April 25.

Inquiry as to the cause of the present abnormally high prices of beef has elielted the following points from persons who profess to understand the matter: Probably as many as 15 per cent of 'the eattle on the Plains were killed by the extraordinarily bitter weather of the Winter of 1880-81. These were chiefly the younger animals, they being the least able to bear and survive the exposure, and the loss thus fell among the very class of cattle whloh come into the States in the FalL It is reported that $30 per bead was paid about a month ago in Montana for S-year olds to be taken upon ranches where the destruction had been the most severe. Also, the large immigration of last year caused a much larger demand for cattle to stock new farms, whloh was a further drain upon the available supply. The scarcity of corn in many sections, and its high price everywhere, has prevented a great many cattle from being fed into killing condition. There were tnus fewer to market and those that were marketed cost more to fit them for the hands of the butcher.

The number of animals that we-e kept waiting for grass-feed was sufficiently large to make a decline in prices probable when they came freely on the market From New-Year's Day to date Chicago receipts of cattle are larger than for the corresponding time in 1881, but during the last three or fonr weeks this has been reversed, and the smaller supply is met by an increasing demand for export of animals and meat From 6.000 to 6,000 animals now leave our shores weekly for Europe. There bas recently been an increased demand to suppiy the manufacturers of canned beef. Two new factories have been established in Chicago during the past few months. The growing demand for canned meats is possibly connected with the falling off in the export movement of pork products. A steady increase in the range of prices at the Union Stockyards is noticeable during the past three years.

In 1880, the average prioe per hundred-weight during tbe last week in April was $4 to $5 for shipping grades and $3 to $4 25 for butchers' grades; in 1881. $5 to $6 25 for shipping and $3 25 to $4 75 for butchers', and in 1882 $6 25 to $7 75 for shipping and $4 to $6 for butchers'. KILLED BY AN INSANE HUSBAND. West Chester, April 25. Much excitement was cansed here to-day by the announcement that J.

D. Andrews had killed his wife, at their residence, near Hayesville, in this oounty. For several years "Prof." Andrews, as he is familiarly called, has manifested a tendency to insanity, and an attendant was hired to watch him. Last night while Mrs. Andrews was in ber sitting-room her husband, who had been left unguarded for a moment in an adjoining room, seized a rolling-pin and, quietly stealing up behind his wife, dealt her a terrtfio blow on the head.

She fell to tbe floor Insensible, while the attendant returning just at this moment, secured Andrews and summoned medical aid. There was no hope, however, and Mrs. Andrews died at 4 o'clock this morning without recovering consciousness. She was about 60 years of age. Andrews, who Is about 60 years old.
