GENTLEMEN WHO Wish Dress or Business Suits. PANTA1100NS, SPRINCi OVERCOATS, Of the best Fabrics and Cunade and trimmed in a highly artistic and superior manner, please call at Garson 1 I i i 1 v. It was currently reported throughout tbe portida 'of the city yesterday that the cause of th delay in the opening of the canal was sttrfbutabl to the construction of a sewer under the canal at Rochester, and it must be admitted that no little indignation was manifested by those I who credence to tbe reports. Dunne the day Mr. Ford, the Superintendent of this section, visit dock and took considerable pains to deny tl of the rumors, tie explained that tne ja ment of theopening oi navigation on the canal was due to entirely dinerent causes.

A reporter ot 1 HE Express called upon Mr. ord at bis residence on Chippewa street last evening for the purpose of ascertaining the facts in the case. I am very glad that you have come," remarked the superintendent. tor I want to have this nutter DroDenv unaer- stood by the people." Assuring Mr. Ford that The Express desired 10 publish nothing but facts, our reporter asked if there Was anjr truth in tbe reports that the delay in tne opening ot ine canai was caused by the construction of sewer ussier the channel at Rochester.

No sir," replied Mr. Forr1, there is no foun dation whatever for such reports. The postpone ment of the opening was-occasioned by tne so It condition of the banks of the canal on Sections 8, and- 10, extending from Lockport to Rochester and from Rochester to the line of Wayne County. How is the canal in this sectionr "All riphl. Everything is in pood condition, but that isdne in a great measure to the fact that on this sectionyie water is not drawn off during the winter season as it is on the other sections.

When will the water be let in on the dry sec tions? 1 On Tuesday, the 13th replied the bu perintendent. Five feet of water will be let in at first, and the other two feet will be fed very slowly, so that the condition of the banks can be watched carefully and attended to if they should show any signs of weakness." "lhe canal win not be opened formally before tne zotn unacr any circumstances, will lit inquired the reporter. Well, the 20th is the date hxed. but as soon as there is three feet of water in the channel the light boats now lying in Eastern ports will be started west. About seven-eighths of the boats on the canal are east and will have to come west for freight." AN EXPLANATION Editor Buffalo Express -The fact that I am censured by the Coroner's juiy for employing in.

competent men to take charge of my boilers neces sitates my making the following statements The engineer who is charged with incompetency was first employed by Luman F. Johnson (then foreman), July, 1871, and considered by him as faithful, industrious, an 1 competent man for his duties. As to Mr. ohn son's qualifications to judge of the competency of men under him, every person acquainted with bim will say there was no more capable man in the State. lanuarv 1st, 1875, Mr.

Johnson left my service, Tames Duggan was placed in charge as foreman. He continued Deitz engineer in the same place and at the same kind of labor, and always reported him to me as lully qualified foriis duties. October, 1876, Frank Kammerer succeeded Mr. Duggan as foreman, and -always assured me that this same engineer was as fully qualified for his work as Kammerer himself, and that he was a faithful. careful and temperate man, and in September last advised me to advance his wages, saying he did not like to lose him, as he could not find a man to nil his place.

He has served me in this capacity for almost nine years, and has never been found derelict in duty. I submit, therefore, whether under the circumstances I did not lake all suitable and proper measures to have a man competent to fill the place and whether I should be censurable for neglect. I think that the jury were misled as to the incompetence of Deitz by his ua fortunate manner on the stand. His ignorance of the language and a natural timidity in finding himself in a novel position, to say nothing of feeling that he was held responsible for the disaster, "so confused him that it gave him an appearance of stupidity that he did not Yours truly, Henry Childs.

MISS REILLY'S CONCERT. The benefit concert civen last evening at Sf, James Hall by Miss May E. Reilly drew a moderate audience, which was rather to be wondered at in view of the many attractions offered. Miss Reilly is, we are informed, only sixteen years old, and considering all circumstances, her debut as a pianist was a flattering success. The task which she set for herself was a very an.bitious' one, as It included thfc od.

II of Beethoven, Mendelssohn's Capriccio Brilliant for piano and orchestra, and the Wagner-Liszt Tannhauser March." In these very taxing numbers, she showed the pdsscssionof considerable power, and a correct execution. Her failure was where it might be anticipated-in her crude and amateurish interpretations. Her performance, technically, was remarkable in many ways, and deservedly won for her the hearty applause of the audience. Miss Reilly was assisted by Mme. Poppenberg.

harpist; Miss Koch, soprano; Miss Burger, alto; Mr. Ward, baritone, all of whom acquitted themselves with credit. The accompaniments of tha evening were supplied by M. Harrison and Poppenberg's full orchestra, the latter also adding several interesting selections to the programme. MR.

The lecture of Mr.

Wendling in answer to Ingersoll is the subject of conversation in varied circles. Judge Shel-lebarger, one of the counsel in the Electoral Commission, pronounces it one of the finest efforts he ever heard. Judge Davis is equally emphatic. Martin I. Townshend, of New-York, calls him tbe finest orator in America.

Senator Ferry came upon the stage at the close of the lecture, and rt-auesting sn introduction, paid most exceptional compliments to the voung Hercules.

at. The Straits be low here are piled up full of ice. The ice in the south channel is still solid, and quite a. fleet of ves sels are waiting here to get through. There is fresh south wind blowing.

F. Since Thursday evening there has been but tittle to chronicle in marine matters. The arrivals have been few and the departure; nil, as the weather has been unfavorable for sailing vessels and tbe pro peller lines, -with the exception of tbe Commercial line, did not intend sending out any of their boats before this morning. The weather during the past week or ten days has been much more tike March than April, and yesterday forenoon it was blowing half a gale down the take; towards sunset it mod era ted somewhat, though still blowing a fresh breeze from the W. S.

with pretty heavy i sea running outside Tbe Western Transportation Company will prob ably send out their fine propeller, the this she was busy yesterday and the day before taking on some rolling freight for Chicago. The B. W. Blanchard," of the Union Steamboat Company's fleet. Captain Laurence Green, cleared yesterday at the Custom-house with 1,500 barrels of cement for Chicago, and about 80 tons of gen- -eral merchandise-for Milwaukee, and will probably leave the river thissnprning, bound up.

The An chor line will also sendNput a boat this morning, In Thursday issueVe stated rt as probable that coal freights would decline after the first arrivals of the Chicago fleet, but. they have not even waited for that event, as they Vesterday fell from 75 cents to 50 cents a ton, both to Chicago- and Milwaukee. This suddea decline in coal freights can only be accounted for by the supposition that pur coal agents are" not yet in any hurry to make extensive shipments, and also by the fact that many vessel owners ire wining to take any reasonable oner sooner than, permit their vessels to remain idle or leave port light. The following are the only charters reported yesterday afternoon: The schooner Porter, 1,200 tons -coal to Chicago, 50 cents the schooner Gallatin, 020 tons at same figure; schooner Samaria," 500 tons, Chicago, also at 50 schooner A. J.

Dewey," coal to Toledo, at 15 cents. I hese were the only charters reported, and no canal-boat charters have been 're corded, since the announcement that the canals would hot be open for navigation until the 20th inst. This decision has occasioned a considerable amount of discussion among the canal men, as it will send all grain sold for delivery in April seaward by rail. In fact we know of an instance in which three canal-boats were engaged to load grain for New-Yprk from the propeller Graves, and they were towed up the river for that purpose, but on the announcement that the canals were not to be opened until the 20th, the grain was refused them as it was for April delivery and would have to go by rail. The arrivals since Thursday are as follows The steam-barge W.

T. Graves," from Toledo with corn, and her consort the George W. Adams," both consigned to Messrs. Whitney Gibson. The Graves reports leaving Toledo on' Wednesday afternoon with light winds from north west to southwest.

They unloaded yesterday after noon at the City elevator, and if the wind is not too strong down the lake will go out this morning, light, for loledo. the steam-barge "II. Tuttle, Captain Moore, from I oledo, and her convrt the schooner-barge H. Ely reached port this morning shortly after six o'clock. lhe" 1 utile brings 28,400 bushels of corn con signed to H.

J. Hall Co, and 285 barrels of pork consigned to J. C. and I. Hvans; tier consort the Ely, 42,100 bushels of corn consigned to Guthrie.

She left Toledo Wednesday afternoon and had a fine run to port, with westerly and south westerly winds. On starting the winds were light but this side of Long Poirt they freshened consid erably. -The schooner A. J. Dewey arrived down from Detroit on I hursday evening with 16 000 bushels of wheat consigned to C.

F. Sternberg, which she unloaded yesterday at the bternbeig elevator. Captain Vincent reports leaving Detroit on iuesday forenoon at 10 clock. Had light north and north-westerly winds until well down the lake, when the wind veered to the south ard and blew fresh. The schooner Frank J).

from Detroit with 21,000 bushels of wheat con signed to M. L. Crittenden, entered the rivewThurs day mght. shortly alter the Dewey. she dis charged yesterday forenoon at the Evans elevator and will probably load coal trom here although she ha: not yet been chartered.

Captain bcott stales that he left Detcoit on Tuesday noon with a light N. W. breeze and fine clear weather, but on getting down nearl Long Point, the wind veered to the blowing hard and raising quite an ugly sea. The schooner Venus," Captain Carter, also arrived from Detroit yesterday morning shortly before 8 clock, with 16.000 bushels of wheat con signed to Messrs. A.

P. Wright Son. She left Detroit Wednesday morning wun very light north winds, which held for twenty-four hours and then chanced to1 the West and ssnth-west with several snow squalls. lhe schooner IMagaunee, Cap tain A. C.lbmith, arrived down yesterday forenoon from Detroit, with 40,000 bushels of wheat con signed to P.

Wright Son, which she charged at the Bennett elevator. Captain Smith states that; he left Detroit Wednesday night and had a hne run down tor tnis season ot tne year. Winds varied from west to south-west. He goes to Cleveland light for orders. The schooner "Westside" is also in harbor from Detroit with 10,000 bushels of wheat consigned to Whitney Gibson, and 11,000 bushels to M.

Crittenden. The ischooners Eliza Allen," from Port Rowan, J. Hazard Hartzell," from Toledo," and F. W. Porter," from Ashtabula, have also arrived in the river and were all busy discharging yesterday.

There were no departures. The Inter. Ocean of Thursday saysr The schooner Goshawk," Capt. Edward Morton, left the harbor on Tuesday morning for Buffalo with a cargo of grat At 1 o'clock in the eveniiur she was of! Two Rivers The wind was northwest, and it came on to snow, steadily growing colder. Frederick Cook, one of 'the seamen, in obeying an order to aid in reefing the mizzen, clambered on the boom, when, the vessel taking a sudden lurch, he went overboard, the mate witnessed tne accident, ana immediately threw a plank over tbe tide, and rushing aft got the small boat ready.

Calling for volunteers, Henry Crosby, James Lynch, and Neila HcTaggart, seamen, responded, and the boat was toon clear of the ship. It was blowing fresh, and athe snow was, now coming down thick and I heavy. Capt. Morton, the second mate, and the cook were the only members of the crew left on tbe vesset." Conversation was kept up with the boat party for two or three minutes, but after that no answer could be got to the loudest shouts. Yesterday morning Captain St.

Peter of tbe life-saving crew sighted the Goshawk at anchor off Chicago with a signal of distress flying, and immediately went out to her with several of bis crew. Assistance (was lent in raising the anchor, and the tug Annie Smith towed tbe venel back into the harbor into Light-bouse slip. Captain Turner knew nothing to tbe contrary, however much be might hope, and it soon became common report along tbe dock that five men bad been lost from the Goshawk." The instant the vessel had been made fast- In the slip, the captain leaped aboard the tug and started out in search of the missing boat, but after scouring the lake for hours, the Smith came back unsuccessful, and the fatetof tbe gsilant rescuers seemed sealed. Fortunately, however, there was no such bad luck. The boat bad lived through tbe nigbt, and had made a point oa the those several miles south of South Chicago.

i if A spirited meeting was held at Turn Hall last evening jto give expression to the deep seated feel-rig which prevails throughout tbe city, of opposition to the passage of Senator Williams's bill affecting a change in the present police force. The attendance, which was quite large, embraced many pj-omineht and influential and although the I nectmg jraa iv. uv kuk a miumu yuc uicmci rSnHion sf those "Dresent were Republicans. The ntiment manifested during the evening was unan- ously antagonize to the reposed reorganization Ijf the police force. ji 1 1 ne meeting was caiiea 10 oraer soon aiier cirui 1 rfclock by Mr.

It teemed to him to be a very ill-timed action on the art of the party managers, to attempt any innova- on upon, or radical changes in our present excel- nt police system. It was very, strange that this. ilmosl rabid effort should be made in the State Leg- ature to put one set of men out and another set of men into office- The thing ought not to be done. the probosed change was being done for political fleet, tne speaner proposed 10 oppose 11 neanuy. matter which party it was designed to help.

Box was then called upon, and he jroceeded to deliver a very effective address. He id that he had been unable tjo prepare any set but what he should say would certainly have tne merit 01 Demg sincere. 1 1 nose wno were resent had met to consider a very important mater. Probably there was no city in the country ivhich en ioved the reputation of havfne so excellent police force as the.one possessed by Buffalo. In tii's experience as a lawyer Mr.

Box had had ample if .1. i. 1 means to saniy muiscii ui avtuvy, iaii.iiiuiiic ftnd vigilance of our police. Most of the men on the force, had been judiciously selected with -every "Consideration for their mental, physical and moral fitness. It was claimed that fhe.

jjproposed change of the present; police force was to be done in tne interests 01 economy, ui course every tax-payer desired an economical municipal government: but it could not be made clear to them vkat our police force could be conduct ed any cheaper than was now without impairing its efficiency. It had been said that 'the new hill fproposed a reduction of patrolmen. Such a reduction, irre speaxer maintained, couia not dc made without serious detriment to the system. Five yearrs ago, that very efficient Superintendent, Tu tnr on IV. present number, of twenty men, and gave excellent reasons why the increase should be made.

Tbe need of greater police facilities had certainly not diminished within the last five years, and yet the framers ot the bill propose to give us less patrolmen ratiter than more. In the matter ot a legal adviser to the Board of Police, it was designed by the new bill to tspense with that official entirely. Although the speaker did not believe in keepins. up the position of a legal adviser tp the Board of Police unless it was absolutely necessary, still he did not think there would be any economy in requiring the City Attorney to perform the legal duties required by the Police Commissioners. The latter official claimed that he had all the work he could do now, and if a mass of extra work was thrown upon his shoulders he would be obliged to ask for: extra help, and the extra clerk hire would amount to more uian the money saved by abolishing the present office of leeal adviser to the Board of Police.

1 The very men who had insisted upon the appointment of the present Attorney to the Board of Police and the, present Assistant Superintendent, in opposition to the wishes ot Commissioner Sears, were the men who now sought to make the people believe that their new bill was intended to save money by dispensing with those two officers. Mr, Box did not believe that there was any intention on the part of the backers of the new bill to reduce the number of patrolmen now employed. The cry of economy was an empty cry and was put forth to mislead tne people. 1 The radical change which was contemplated by Senator Wulflrms bill would establish a mischiev ous precedent, for it would give the Democratic party a good excuse to change tne force to suit meir interests as soon as- they came into power. 1 he faithful and valuable service which the present po lice force had rendered to the citizens of Buffalo entitled them to the earnest support of the people at this Dresent crisis.

Mr. Box did not desire to attack or denounce Senator Williams, but he be lieved that if that honorable gentleman persisted in pushing this obnoxious bill to its passage he would dig deep his own political gravel. 1 Applause, The Hon, PbilipBccker then moved that a com. mittee of five be appointed to draft resolutions ex- Dressive of the sense of the meeting. I The motion was carried and the Chairman appointed the fol lowing named gentlemen: Philip Houck, Chas.

F. Bingham, oeo. vy. tiaywaru, rnuip Becker, 1, Davis. The committee immediately retired for deliberation.

ij I REMARKS BY MR. GOODYEAR. Mr. Charles W. Goodyear was the next speaker.

He said he was glad to see so many people present ho had the independence to come forward and boldly assert their opposition to the new police bill. It was a gratifying sign that so many good men of both parties should be willing to unite in protesting against the destruction of one ot our oest ana most valuable Dublic The question before the meeting Was one of vital importance to every taxpayer. During his experience as Assistant District Attorney, the speaker bad been able to observe closely-the workings of police-force, and he knew very well that statistics wouia snow mat the nresent Buffalo police force had guarded the Inter ests of our citizens more vigilantly and more suc cessfully than any police torce in any other city in the country. Why then should an attempt be made to destroy this model police torce to make room lor another set of men? Business men did not, as a rule, desire sweeping changes when their affairs were moving harmoniously and prosperously, and the speaker did not believe that the people ot wanted the present police force broken upand replaced by another organization nmpry to grainy partisan or personal interests. The voice of the people should be the voice of the law, and tbe people were certainly satisfied, in this case, to let well enough alone.

There should be no attempt made to change the present state of things in the Police Department Until the. people signified that they desired a change. There 1 had been one reason ad vanced, remarked Mr. why. tbe pro- nosed change should be An afternoon paper 1 had stated that there was one Democratic Commissioner now I on the Board, and should the Democrats elect the nest Mayor the police administration would become Democratic therefore it was necessary jto legislate the whole force out of office in order to get rid of the Democratic The speaker said that he bad been familiar with the police administration of this citv for many years and be-conld honestly say of the late Superintendent, Colonel John Byrne, that as a disciplinarian ne was one 101 tne most skiumu, vigilant and valuable men ever placed at the head of a police organization, and the superior efficiency 1 il-fi OI the torce naa not ia anyming unucr tac carciui supervision of the present Superintendent.

th rartmo lnsrw at tbe number of DatroJnjen the speaker did not belieye that the oeoDW wanted any such thine: done. With our large amount of territory within the city limits and our constantly Increasing, population, there would be more sense in Increasing the police force than there would be in ratting down the number of men. If it was desirable to keep our admirable notice force in its present superior and matchless condition 01 cuickdcj, me pcopiv Daouu wwam insist upon it that the Department should have as little of political partizanahip about it as possible. The moment that designing politicians sought to mbe a nolitical foot ball of the police force, then the discipline and substantial exellence of the organisation jrould he. destroyed.

Mr. Goodyear closed by hoping tbat the meeting would remon-srate stronsly and -X of a I The Committee 00 resolutions at this point re turned, and Mr. Hayward read tbe following preamble and resolutions, 4 'rt Wktrrmi, The bill sow pendmr before the Legislature of this Scale to sstaMish a Police Departssent fas tbe City Buffalo, aad to abolish the best police system and the moat ssnsianory ana eTOorniorgsnirstirm oa tae aaaa mat this city bas ever knows; aatd ,11 wiurtm. rreantatasa suacaisea-ior auiei leseaoc wna a issahliahrd organ iaatkm of this kind tritds so rUmnrst- ise sad destroy its esacieacy; tberefof I aViaaW. 1 aat tt tae smsanssoua sentmsem of sass seel ins- that the samoosed solaoe law is smmst to the pres- ent tefauy eoossitutea rooos sn wuwi tbs tax-pavers and detrimental to tbe best interest of tbs people; aad therefore asost earnestly and euiphatirally protest ajrainst its paasuure.

The Hon. Bernard. F.

REMARKS BY MR- BECKER. Id response to loud calls the Hon. Philip Becker spoke briefly in opposition to the proposed Police bill. Me maintained that there was in the commu- nirv- a atmn7 and-len-ssted sentiment of antacr- onism to the proposed change, and for that feeling 101 suiinguwisiu mere were iiiauj eAuciiciiL ica-mji. One of the new features of Senator WiUiamss bill Snpenntent a member of ftoaro; tZftZJTZ 0wn-plansv Another interesting feature of the new bUl was the secret fund," which was put down at at- .1 1 A 1 1 e)tuuo, a ne bum luai uu ever uccn rcuiicu lur secret police purposes in tne past, said Mr, Becker, was $1,200.

Yet this increased amount was to be given into the hands of the Superintendent to spend just -as he saw fit. Being himself a member of the Board of Police, of course no action of the Superintendent would be questioned, and if he saw fit to establish two or three sinecure offices with the ereater portion of this who was to stop him? There is not a department in the city that is managed more prudently or carefully than the present Police The system, of auditing and paying accounts is as vigilant as it pos sibly can be, and not a dollar can be expended ex cept on a majority vote of the Board of Commis sioners. It had been claimed that the new Police bill had been 'prepared in the interests of the tax. payers. If that was so, why, enquired the speaker.

did not Senator Williams let the people of Buffalo-see the text of it sooner? It was a long while after the bill had been introduced before the Buffalo public could obtain any idea of its provisions. Alter the conclusion ot Mr. Becker remarks tne meeting adjourned. 1 he committee which was appointed in pursuance of the resolutions adopted by the meeting will wait upon Senator Williams this noon. ST.

PAUL'S CHURCH CHOIR. Matters at St. Faul Cathedral which were slightly disorganized by the of the recent election, have not thoroughly recovered from the disturbing effects of the occurrence. Last evening was the regular time for the holding of the re hearsal of the Surpliced Choir, and as no official postponement had been announced, it was supposed that the members would meet as usual. But on Thursday several members of the choir were rather surprised at receiving, as is alleged.

notices' to the effect that there would be no choir meetine as Gurteen would not be present. I A number after receiving these notifications being rather mystified by them sought for an explanation and in'that manner the matter reached the ears of the Rev. Dr. Shelton and the leader of the choir. They at once took measures to sec the several mem bers of the choir and ar.sure them that the rehearsal would be held as usual.

The result was that the rehearsal was held last evening and the attendance was not materially diminished. The new organist, Mr. Joseph Mischka, was unable to be present until eight clock and some little delay was occasioned bv that. Otherwise everything tiassed off satisfactorily. We are requested to say that at a meeting ot the gentlemen members ot the surpliced choir, neia 1 1 1.
