DENTAL VULCANITE. A Plain Statement of the- Manner in Which an Extensive Business ia Conducted, with its Bearing; Upon Josiab.

Bacon's Murder. Its Extension Advocated and Opposed. Hearing Before the Street Commissioners. The Damages that Would Have to be Paid to Property-OWners. A public hearing was given this morning before the street commissioners at tbeir office, to parties interested In the proposed extension of Hamilton place to Washington street.

Mr. Francis Brooks, for the petitioners, said that the uestion of the necessity was not disputed by anyone, but that it was conceded that the extension should be made Tbe crowding of Winter street showed the necessity, but it was rather a question 'of expediency owing to the cost. He particularly alluded to the crowded state of Winter street, and said that tbe necessity would be demonstrated every year. Mr. Ralph Warner, the owner of one of the estates, said that he bad seen for a number of years the necessity of some relief of the crowding of Winter street, and thought that tbe expense would be so small, comparatively speaking, that it would be a benefit to tbe city.

By having another street In the rear of Winter street it would give greater facilities for business. To the best of his information he estimated it would cost about $200,000. Tbe Music Hall Association would probably want King's estate, $100,000, and the adjoining estates He had made no estimates 00 the Marlboro estate, and had made no estimate as regards Hamilton place, lie thought tbat if the improvement was ever 10 be made, It Should be Made Now. He estimated that the improvement would increase the taxable property to tbe amount of $1,000,000. In answer to a question by Charles A.

Welch, he said he had no rights on Hamilton place. He thought that the cost of the land taken from the estate on Hamilton place would be $10,000. He thought that tbe estates of the Marlboro Hotel would be benefited and the King estate tue estates on Hamilton place, of which there are two or three, J500O each; Music HaU estate, $6000. Police Officer West, who has, been stationed on the corner of Tremont and Winter streets, statd tbat nine months of the year he could count daily forty or fifty private carriages standing at one time on "Winter street. In regard to foot passengers the north side of the street was very much crowded, but be did not think that the travel or obstructions had increased the last three years.

Mr. C. J. Morrill, one of the trustees of the Hemenway estate, said that the trustees had made no absolute decision in relation to tbe matter, but it was the intention to build on the estate and cover It. It woula possibly be thirty or sixty days before any definite plan was adopted.

The president of tbe Music Hall Association, Mr. J. Baxter Upham, asked Mr. Warner where be got the information that the Music Hall. Association would sell for $75,000.

Mr. Warner replied that be Had Received a SJote to That EfTect, but the treasurer and a number of tbe directors who were present stated that tbey had never seen any such letter nor had ever heard of any such proposition. Mr. Upham further stated that according to the line drawn ot the proposed street it would go through tbe organ, which cost $00,000 in gold, and be was opposed to the whole project. He had no recollection of any negotiation ever having been made in regard to tbe improvement, and could not recollect of any official action ever taking place by the board of directors.

Mr. C. C. Perkins.one of the directors, also stated that he had no knowledge of of any official action having been taken by the association, or of any estimate being made in case any such improvement was undertaken. Mr.

Brooks said tbat he understood that the cutting through tbe estate was fully understood by the directors at an estimate of and now if tbey opposed It it made a wholly 3LeW1tifBImslSe8VAe'Cofe estaTSrStatl'j-tEit nothing bad been said to him in regard to the project, and he was decidedly opposed to it. He Thought It Was a Private He explained what improvements had been made on this estate since his appointment as trustee; the building is rapidly filling up; be paid a tax on an offer of had been refuted for the estate, and any change would be a irreat damage to the property. Mr. Upham again entered bis protest as a citizen, and also in behalf of the Music Hall Association, and spoke particularly of the great injury and damage which would ensue to the great organ, which would be a public calamity. The hall had proved a pertect success, and after many months of careful investigation at the time it wss projected to build a concert ball, they decided tbat this site was the proper one; in regard to tbe acoustic qualities, ill is hall, if not the best, was equal to any one ia the world.

Mr. Carmi E. King, the owner of the King estate, was opposed to tbe extension. He owned the estate occupied by Mr. Leonard, and stated that it rented for $9000 per year.

Mr. Leonard, his tenant, stated tbat he had expended $25,000 for improvements, and had built up a fine business, and should not be willing to give it up; that it was particularly adapted to his business, and Bhould expect an ample remuneration If it was decided to make the improvement. The hearing was then adjourned to May 10, at 11 o'clock a. m. SOMEKVILLK.

'1 be dealer takes a percentage from every pot.

Ivory checks are sold to the players by the dealer and used for betting instead of coin. Tbe authorities require tbe keepers of tbe game to pav a license of $100 for the first month and 1 a for every subsequent month, and the amount of money exchanged i something enormous, for it is all the rage juat now and has been for the past two months.

In the United Stales commissioner's court this morning, before Commissioner Hallett, James Henderson, a seaman on the American barque Robinson Crusoe, wss arraigned, charged with making an assault on one l'aul d. Uoberts, tbe second officer of said barque, on January 11 last, while said barque was on a Toyage from "Alexandria, Kgypt, to Boston, l'aul J. Koberta took the stand and testified that when about a month out from New York all of the crew of said barqu. (six in Humbert grew quarrelsome and mutinous, making threats against tbe witness and other officers ot the crew that the crew would murder thein and throw them overboard. Henderson waa the ringleader.

The witness evidently bad a troubled aud anxious time on said voyage for fear of a general mutiny and a violent death. The evidence of tbe other olticera of the barque substantiated the facts a related by tbe second mate. Tbe uefendant took the stand aud test i lied tbat while iu his bunk he beard the second mate say he would lick any man on the ship, whereupon be ran up on the deck and struck him two blows ou the mouth for disturbing bis sleep, liendeison was held in bonds of $(H) at the May term of tbe circuit court.

Tbe following entries have been made for the ten-mile walk at the East Boston tournament, The death of the late Josiah Baoon in San Francisco has naturally attracted renewed attention to a company, whose agent be was, which bas already been the subject of very considerable notice, and no matter in what light his tragic fate may be considered, any of the circumstances which, rightly or wrongly, may have led to it are full of interest. The Goodyear Dental Vulcanite Company has been engaged in so much litigation that, in many quarters, it has come to be looked upon as an oppressive corporation. There is no reason for sucn an assumption, as its operations have always had the sanction of the highest courts iu the land, in order that the general course may be judged of, the following tacts from trustworthy sou ces are given: Tbe man Samuel P. Chatfand, who is suspected of having murdered Mr. Bacon, was originally a dentist in Wilmington, Del.

Some four years ago he was called upon by the authorized agent of tiie company, and it was ascertained that he had Oeen infringing the Cum mines patent, he refused to respect tbe claims of the company, its owner. He was sued, and be Wait Enjoined By a Competent Court. He left Wilmington aud went to St. Louis, where he again refused payment to tbe agent of tbe company. He was sued aud enjoined a second time, and thereupon went to San Francisco, Cal.

A year since he refused a third time to recognize the claims of tbe com pauy, and he was again enjoined. In view of sucn persistent defiance of the courts on his part, it can hardly be said tbat the company has been persecuting Mr. Chatfand. The validity of the Cummmgs patent, under which the royalty is claimed, was first tested in Boston, in a suit brought oy the company against Isaac J. Wetherbee, a demist of this city.

The decision at that time was in favor of the complainants. After this decisiou delegates from the dental association met the agents of the company and devised a license, under the provisions of which they were to keep a correct account of the number of plates made, and at the end of each quarter they were to pay a royalty thereon. A large number of these licenses were issued, but it was found that not more than one-tbi-d of those who held tbem lived up to their contract. It then became necessary for tbe company to change their mode of tariff, aud charge a yearly tax outrigbt. This license has been issued for $50 a year and upward, and Btrong inducements to secure payment in advance have been made.

At first a discount of ten per cent, upon such payments was made, and last year tbe allowance was thirty per cent. Dentists have always had thirty days' notice, in order that tbey might have time to raise tbe amount needed to pay for this license, and if tbey did not avail themselves of these privileges no blame, on that account, can be attached to the company. Unparalleled litigation ha been had on thisCum- mings patent, and notwithstanding, freauent usuuxwui learned juaces, sua enlists haVtr Persistently Continued to Beslet the legal claims of the company, and have thus burdened themselves with great expenses. Tbe company has on its part been obliged to expend $75,000 to $100,000 yearly in forcing dentists to respect the rights conferred upon them by the United States courts. It.

is well known that the United States are divided for court purposes into nine circuits. In each of these the Cummings patent bas been and had been sustained, and as several of those who bad served as circuit judges, and decided for the company, were on the supreme bench when it was brought before that tribunal, the company had good reason to expect the decision in tbeir favor, which was made. Tbe portraits of all who sat at tbat time, and not 01 these only who gave their voices in favor of the company, now adorn the walls of its office in Temple place in this city. Only last month there was given another decision in favor of the vulcanite people. It was made at Washington by the supreme court of the district of Columbia in the case of the Goodyear Dental Vulcanite Company vs.

Owen H. Brightwell and others, and by it celluloid was declared to be an infringement of vulcanite. Mr. Bacon was in San Francisco for the first time for four vears. Mr Caduc was there last year, but Mr.

Bacon's last visit prior to this was made in 1874. BRIGHTON DISTRICT.

Burke, a late employe as brake man on said road, brings an action of tort against the corporation to recover $10,000 for personal injuries received by the plaintiff on March 30, 1878.

The plaintiff alleges that for about three months previous to the time of the accident he had been employed as a brakeman on the 3 o'clock train from Boston to Worcester; that on that date, while attempting to shackle freight cars and in tbe exercise ot due care, he was severely injured owing to the improper and careless construction of said cars. Tbe defence is a general denial, and that If the plaintiff was Injured it was due to his want of exercise ot due care, and was caused by tbe negligence of an employe, for which the defendant is not legally liable.

At tbe close of the hearing in the whipping case on Tuesday evening tbe sub-committee gat with closed doors and considered tbe case, and drew up the heads for a formal rtport to be presented to tbe full school committee board on Thursday evening. The report states in substance that after having carefully and patiently listened to all the evidence presented and examined the facts bearing apon the case, the conclusions arrived at are that the punishment inflicted had nothing whatever to do with the death further, that the whipping given was only of an ordinary nature and not unusually severe, and concludes with a complete exoneration of tbe teacher, Miss Merri-am, from any undue harshness or any overstepping of the bounds of proper and good school discipline.
