NEW Yobk, Ootober S7. i O'CLOCK EMM FUSE ARTS. A Rare Collection of Furniture and Objects of Art Workmanship. 1 Nearly a year ago there was a gallery of paintings, known as the1 "Lookwood Collection," placed on exhibition and sold under the auctioneer's hammer by the Messrs, TJeavitt, at their salesrooms, Clinton Hall, Astor place, New York. To day we have, as it were, a sequel to the former sale, lathe Am of a collection of artleUo furniture and objects ef art, belonging to the same estate, which is to be so'd at the same place on Thursday and Friday of this week, beginning at eleven o'clock each day.

This collection of furniture Is generally conceded to" be the most elaborate outfit for household purposes ever, manufactured. There is nothing to compare with it in America, and it outvies in magnificence anything of the kind in Europe. This is a bold assertion, but we think that an inspection of the exhibition will bear out its truth. In the collection are two seta of bedroom furniture of the most elaborate workmanship and made rrom'the richest materials. One of the bedsteads is made of blrdBeye maple, inlaid with ebony and gold, and canopied with satin hangings.

The bureaus and other objects are In keeping, in elegance, with the Bides and Horns Elepbants' XusUs Dotes and Spices StrBmaban store Hew Piers to bo Built. Nearly all the leather that is used in this" country oomes from South America, partleularly from Buenoa Ayres. The vast pampas, of that ooun try are the homes of millions of wild oattle, that are slain for their hides and tallow. The horns also form an important article in tbe trade with that eountry, 'and are wrought up Into Innumerable forms. The hides arrive in this part, drlea and doubled: together and iressed as fiat a'a board, and ore piled away Tory nuchas lumber wettld be stored.

Many of the horns are extremely large, and must have spread apart at least three feet when upon the animal's head, 'ELEPHANTS' TUBKS, Another consignmen of elephants' tusks was received a short time ago, at Pierrepont's Stores. They came from the eastern coast of Africa, through the Bed See, and the Mediterranean. These tusks are smaller and pf a finer kind than ordinary ivory and are intended for billiard balls. A single tusk weighs about 150 pounds, and 1b valued at three dollars per pound. At that rate a pile, six feet square, Is worth a small fortune.

Pierrepont's Stores, a greater variety of the products of foreign climes, especially from tropical countries than any other warehouse along the water front. Here are, clovce from Zanzibar, ivory from Africa, jute from Hindostan, sugar rrom tne weBt indies, bud nepner from Arabia, (said to bo the finest condiment known to cookery), cassia from the East In dies, and cinnamon from Ceylon. And here the writer was told the difference between cassia and cinnamon a thing whioh even good housewiveB are not aware of. Large quantities ef cassia are sold for ground cinnamon, whereas very little genuine oinnamon is brought to thie country. What is called oinnamon is really oassia from Fnr therilndia.

Tho difference in taste as well as appearance is very peroeptible. Tho genuine oinnamon bark is very light colored, whereas the cassia is dark ana almost tasteless, when compared with the genuine article. DATES. A large quantity of dates is also in store at Pierre pont's Stores. The season for them is fust commencing, and they are put upon the market as "new" dates, whereas they are a year old, and arrive in this coantry in the Spring, but of oourse cannot be Bold during tho seasou of fruits, but are held in store until cold weather.

The dates from Syria are much better than those from India. They come paokedin mats, stamped together, it is said, by the bare feet of Arab girls. The writer conoluded he did not like dates as well as he supposed. FINE VESSELS. There aro now lying at the Docks at Pierrepont Stores, two ships of the largest class, the Enoch Train and the Great Admiral.

They belong to a Boston firm who own one of the largest fleets of merchantmen be longing iu this, country. The tight of these magnificent vessels calls to mind the days when the Bails of American vessels whitened every sea. When tho Enoch Train camo into port, she brought one of the largest cargoes of sugar ever landed upon tho Brooklyn Docks 2,400 tons. She has been overhauled and repainted, and is now offered for sale, as her owners are desirous of replacing their older vesselB with new crafts. Just below Atlantio Basin, at the foot of King street, are the Btores until recently known as the Golton Warehouse," but laat Summer the namo was changed to BTBANAHAN STOBES.

These warehouses are among the most extensive and well appointed stores along the water front. They were built about two years ago by the Atlantio Dock Company, who still own them; They were at first intended for the warehousing of cotton, and a com pany was formed for that purpose under the title of the "Cotton Warehousing Company." After a year'B trial in the business it was found that the business of cotton warehousing was not sufficient to warrant the keeping of the stores for that purpose. Nearly all the cot on that comes into New York harbor is brought on the Southern steamers, and is landed on their docks in New York and transported to the warehouses by trucks as the expense of conveying it to this side of the river waB too great to warrant much business. Another thing was the difficulty always experienced in diverting trade from its old channels, the cotton warehousing having been done for years on the other side of the river, and the merchants still carried their goods to the old warehouses. The Btores are now leased by LOCKWOOD AND OOISON, who oarry on the business of general storage.

Their office is in the New York Cotton Exchange. The stores are six in number, are 200 feet wide and extend baok from the bulkhead a distance of 709 feet. The bulkhead Is about forty feet wide and running baok from the edge of the wharf through the whole extent of the etores is a railway, with switches and turnouts in the different Btores. The first store standing nearest the switch is one story in height, and 200 feet Bquare, with a loft extending over the centre. It is separated from the other stores fey double iron doors and a space of several feet in the doorway between the doors.

Tho five other stores are 200 feet long and 100 feet wide, two etories in height, with a third story over the centre. There is no communication between the different stores above the first floor, and the stairways and hatchways ore closed with heavy trap doors. Each store is distinct by itself and separated from the one adjoining by heavy iron doors. The walls are of brlok, six teen inches thick, and the gangway through which the tracks run is wide enough for a horse to be driven tbsoughwlth the trucks. So convenient arejthe arrange ments that ISO bales of ootton can be conveyed from the docks to the farthest store in an hour.

Tho writer was informed that the owners intended building two piers, six hundred feet in length in front of the stores. This will afford facilities for tho discharge of the largest ships. At present the shallow ness of the water prevents any but vessels of light draft from approaching the bulkhead. Stranahan Stores are especially adapted for the stor age of provisions, and their extent offers facilities for an enormous quantity of merchandise. REV.

DR. PUTNAM'S TESPERS. The fourth season of the vesper services of the Church of the Saviour, the Bey. Dr. Putnam's, Monroe place and Pierrepont street, was resumed last evening.

Those only who have visited these beau tiful services can understand the solemnity, impressivp ness and spiritual reverie which are added to the quiet of a Sunday evening. As these devotional services aro almost wholly musical in their nature, tho pastor of the church generally delivers an extemporaneous address or a running commentary on Borne passago of Scripture. The following were the selections rendered last evening Trio from Lejoal's MaSB. "uiono." aporn (Juartetto flotow 'TJonuui eat" Geinttmr Deum" Kolclimar The choir of the church, which 1b noted for its fine music, is composed of Miss Ida Hubell, soprano Mrs. Fred.

The following paragraph appeared in the New York Sun thiB morning Theodore Tilton has written a letter to the Plymouth Church Committee, caylng that inasmuch as he has not been a member of the ohuroh for the past four years, he doeB not feel in duty bound to obey their citation to appear before them, and therefore respectfully, declines to answer the charges made against him. This is all true except that Mr. Tilton has written no letter, that he has not been cited to appear by any committee, that he has not refused to answer any charges, that no charges have been made, that there is no committee, and there is no investigation contemplated. The Beccher scandal is dead as are the men who caused it, and the effort to reBuirect it now is only less contemptible than the course of lying and equivocation which created it. Mr.

Beeoher stated the other day that Mr. Tilton had never slandered him, and that the effort to make that gentleman appear In such a light was not less ennoying to him, Mr. Beccher, than it wis grossly unjust to Mr. Tilton. The men who set the etander afloat had an opportunity to prove their charges they not only failed, but were so conscious of Ihe'r inability to prove anything that they did not even dare lo make the effort.

The attempt to revive it now cannot be less futile than it is obyiouBly disgraceful. YACHTING. The Miniatube Pennant Baoe. The fourth contest for the Oulyer pennant took place in GowanusBjy, Saturday afternoon. The contestant model yachts were tho Commodore Toorhis, Alba Unknown, Little Gat, Culdaph, America and Golden Arrow, the Commodore Toorhis being the winner.

There was a full sail breeso blowing from the northwest, making quite a eea in the bay, testing all the Bailing qualities of the different models. The pennant has now been won by the Albatross, Little Gat, Un known and Commodore voorhis. To retain possession of II, it must bo won three tunes by one model yacht. ANOTHER MYSTERY. Disappearance of a Respectable Citizen Did tte walit into tne River John G.

Chatterley, aged 27, five feet eight inches in height, black eyes and hair, and full black beard, has been misBing from his home, 43 Bergen 6treet, Brooklyn, sinoe Wednesday night. He attended the Methodist Episcopal Church on Paciflo and Clinton streets during the evening, and after returning home, oonversed cheerfully with the family. He retired to bed, and as he did not comedown by the usual time next morning, his mother went to call him. Greatly to her surprise, the room was empty. The bed had been lain on, ahd the young man's slippers, working pantaloons, and thin jaoket were missing the cap was alsa gone.

For many years young Chatterley has suffered from EPILEPTIC FITS, and when these attaoks were uponhhn howasnnoon cIoub of his actions. It is supposed that he was seized with one of these fits in the night, and while under the influenoe of it arose, and quitted the house. The win dow of his bedroom on the second floor was found open, and his watch was discovered under the pillow. No tidings of him have oeen received, although his father and brothers have visited New York, WUliamaburgh, and the adjacent localities, making diligent inquiries. His mother is in great distress.

She says that her miss ing son was an exemplary young man, and had no vices, The family believe that young Chatterley, while irre Eponeiblo for his aotions, wont toward the river and was drowned. CARELESS SERVANT. Yesterday morning Mr. Badeau's servant raked the stove In the kitchen of his resldenoe, No. 68 Sands street, and threw the hot coals in a barrel under the stoop.

When she had the room fixed up and the dinner table fixed, she and the family were hurried from the place by the entrance of a orowd of boys and policemen yelling fire. The flames were extinguished before the stoop was consumea, ever heard of it. Reporter Wye yon held responsible for the alleged egiectv Justice Delmar Oh, no. That was THE OLEBK'S BUSINESS. Be kept all the records; collected all the floes and made his returns to the Auditor.

I had no more to do with it and know no mora about it than you do. Beporter Do yon think the Indictment proceeds from that complaint 1 Justice Delmar I hardly think it does. The opinion la general that OONBADY lfl at the bottom of this business. BeDorter What is hl objeot Justice Delmar he's in a tight spot, and to sustain the charges made against the Sheriff he Is strengthening his position or trying to by implicating thers. Reporter How much oredlt will be given to his es tlmoy? Justice Delmar I don't care to say much now about his character.

HIS BECOBD is before the public You ca Judge what is thought of a man who shot and killed another without justifiable provocation. It is also well known that he was charged with perjury before the Grand Jury. I only instance these casos because tho facts are incontrovertible and generally talked of. Whatever else there may be against him will come out at the proper time. Reporter You have heard the rumor that it ia alleged irregular commitments have been made out by tho Justices? Justice Delmar Yes, that's the funny part of tho play.

Reporte What is your opinion of the oharge 7" Justice Delmar That it is perfectly ridiculous. The reporter mentioned Justice Biley's theory regarding the deBd commitments, and Justice Delmar said Buch an error was possible with the best of clerks. "A mistake of that kind" he added, "benefits no one but the Sheriff, and casts reflection on no one else, I don't care what they charge mo with, and have but one anxiety in the premises that is for a speedy trial. My court records are open tor examination, and I want an investigation as quickly as possible." Justice Elliott's Statement. An Eagle reporter called on' Justioe Elliott this morning, to obtain from him a statement of the why, the wherefore, and the general character of the indictment which tho Grand Jury made in reference to him on last Saturday.

Reporter I have called to see you, Judge, in reference to your indiotment Justice Elliott I have NOTHING TO SAY about the matter smiling, I do not know what I have been indicted for. Reporter Have you received no notification Judge Elliott No, I have not, and it looks BATHER SINGULAR. I should think a person who has been indicted should be immediately notified of tho fret and dealt with as the law directs. Reporter Have you 6een either Justices Reilly or Delmar in reference to the matter. Justice Elliott No, I did not see them, but I shall endeavor to do bo to day.

PerhapB they can give me some definite knowledge of the matter. Reporter Then you have no idea of what this indiotment means? Justice Elliott No, I am not conrclous of having committed any breach of official duty. The Grand Jury may have used errors to.iudict me, but any criminal action they have not found against me. Reporter Did you have any knowledge that you were to be indicted Justice L'llict'; Yes, I was told so, but tho reason of it was not given me. Sheriff Walter.

Au unsuccessful effort was made by an Eaole reporter to see Sheriff Wolter. He waB not at home, was not at his usual place of business, and was not about the City Hall. Tbe Tribune's Libel. The following, published in the Tribune of August 30, iB the article in which Judge McCuo claims that he was libelled, and upon it the indictment against Whitelaw Reid is founded THE BROOKLYN RING'S METHOD. ThiB was the method of the swindle lately developed in Brooklyn.

The various bureaus of the City Government paid into the hands of City Treasurer Sprague or his Deputy, M. T. Rodman, tho moneys received for taxes, assessments, and correct receipts were given for tho same. The Treasurer or his Deputy decided in which city bank these moneys should be deposited, and each bank was charged on the city booas with the full amount deposited. In this way tho Broooklyn Trust Company came to bo charged, the week before its bus I pension, with $500,725.28.

But the Deputy Treasurer, whose duly it woe to deposit these "amounts, was alBe Secretary or Treasurer of the Brooklyn Trust Company. It was hiscuttom to leave the Treasury with the full amount charged to the bank as deposit, pocket a portion before reaching the bank, enter the full amount in the City Treasurer's pass book, and a smaller amount by just so much as Ujts stealings in the Trust Company's ledger. In this way he made the accounts of both concernB appear correct. But it was only necessary that some other than himself should compare the two books to detect tho fraud. They never were so compared until Tribune ck poaed the defalcation of Mills tho discrepancy would never have been known but for that cxposm e.

And even fnon an attempt was made to conceal part of the truth. JUDGE ALEXANDER MCOUE, counsel, director, chief owner of the Bank, appeared in court, and threw the institution into tho hands of a receiver of his own choosing, one Mr. Daniel Chauncey. For nearly a month that receiver, whOBe appointment waB denounced as au outrageous proceeding made to conceal the raudB in tho Ring Bank, was in possession, and during the whole of that time he was busily engaged with Judge McOue in what the law condemns as the "compounding of a felony." Tho two were engaged iu concealing frauds and in receiving stolen funde returned on condition that the criminal should not be punished. We mean precisely what we say here.

Mr. Chauncey received from Rodman on August II last $13,000 which he knew had been stolen, and when asked why he did not arrest the thief he answered, We dare not do that." And when Dually mis lajtmui oinoer had completed his work he turned the bank over to the elected President with the assurance that all was right, and made a nubile dis play of unusual virtue in not accepting $20,000 of fees for protecting tho criminal and re cBtanusnmg the bank. Withm three hours of coming into possession of the bank, the President, Alderman Ropes, discovered that there was a defalcation of $203,000 in the City Treasurer's account. So clear was it to tho dullest apprehension, that he. now to tbe affairs of the bank, discovered it from statements published a month previously, and witliiu twenty lour nours alter tno moutie prociaimea Mills to be a defaulter.

To his credit, ho it said, ho did what Judge McCnc and his receiver did not do, but ought to have done a month before ho wont to the City Treasurer and told him about it. An then, suddenly coutiucd to his duty, forgetting what was due the city of which he is an oulcial agent, he concealed the crime, although nc Knew the criminal was still a city officer. AND WHAT DID THE OITY TREASURER DO i This guardian of public trusts at once went to work to inake: himse lf the moral accomplice of Rodman in the offense. He concealed the crime, and failed to arrest the off ende the whole Ring cGuspired to compound tnisieiony. y.ou may silt tno matter as you wul, gentlemen, but that is about the giit of it.

Public officers, responsible in heavy bonds and heavier moral obligations, they compromised with a thiei because they "eared not arreBt him." The only excuse UKyhavciB that they wished to recover from the bondsmen 01 tne tuiei. These were responsible men, whom the law officers could have sued in proper forai the arrrst of Rodman would not have lessened their rrBi.ensibility. But such, was not their only motive. We said a month ago that they were concealing the facts; they were doing so down to within the last forty eight hours Sprague, McCue, Chauncey, Ropes, the whoie of them. Semethine of the startling character of the develop ments which nviy yet be made ia irdicated in other columns.

It is natural that the ring should still strive to conceal the frauds hero indicated; it will bo the fault of tho Controller and the Council and the people if thoy succeed. The City Treasurer haB intimated to Mr. Warren, the accountant, whose figures revealloyond dispute that these frauds have been going on systematically for years, that he has had enough of examinations. But the tax payers have not. ah tne oanas woicn nave city money on nana snonta invite examination.

Experta should not bo nut into every department of the government and the facts brought te the surface. With nothing less ought the piunaerea peoi te 01 uroomyn to do now content. Tbe Sun's Libel. The following is the artiole (head and all) published in the Sun on the 18th of September, for which Mr. Dana has been indioted i'LlOHT OF THE SWIHDLEBS WHEUE ABE WILLIAM C.

KrKosLEr and Judge MoOue 7 Brooklyn is getting to be a bad place for Kings. The developments of yesterday' have spread terror and confusion among the allies of corruption, and given hope and courage to tno honest portion ot tne community. J. no aao blers in fraud and public robbery were anxiously lookuntr for two men who were invisible, and Boon the romor became generally current that Alexander Mcuue, uity jueige, enter owner, manager and legal adviBer of the Trust Company and the great MepniBtopneieB oi tne rang ana wuiiam u. jungsiey, the Boss contractor on all Bine Jobs, had incontinently left the city.

It was boldly asserted on the streets that these two men, feeling Inculpation in the robbery of tne city treasury ana tno irauas oi tne Trust uompany, had quietly left the city with the intention of remaining away until the breeze had blown over, or until the danger that seemed to threaten them personally bad MO CUE AND KINGSLEY NOT TO BE FOUND. On IVfnndav evening a reporter was directed to call on both JudKe McOue and Mr. Kingsley and tender them the use of the Sun's columns for any explanations they might navo lo make view or Mr. bprague'B arrest and their known intimate relations with him. The reporter called at Judge McCae's refidence, in Wil loughby street, and was informed that that gentleman waB out oi town, ue next visitea air.

tungsieys residence, on Cumberland street. He found the house in confusion, and no one at home but a servant, who informed him that the house was leing repaired, and while it was untenable from this cause tho family was staying at the Mansion House In Hicks street. Following the trail to Hicks Btrcet, the reporter waB merely in lonnea mat. mr. iui gsitij vma iiuliu.

On Tuesday another reporter made the rounds in search of these same gentlemen, with no better results; they were both reported absent from the city, though ot Mr. KingBley'8 absence nobody seemed to bo aware but his lmmeaiate lamuy. THE JUDGES SUDDEN ABSENCE. Judge McGue opened tho Soptember term of the City Court last week, and was engaged in that Court all the week. YeBterday an important case waB to have come before him for the settlement of a bill of exceptions.

The counsel on both sides wore in attendance with their papers all prepared for the Judge's niimatiire. But to their surprise Judge McOue was not to be found. They went before one of the associate Judges, being anxious to have tho. matter settled; but that Judge acennea to entertain tne uusiuese, iua points excepted to naving neon maae Deioro juage mo Cue, who could alone certify to the bill. And so the matter had to stand over.

Thus it is apparent that his absence was a sudden ana unexpected event. WHEBE ABE THEY It has been repeatedly charged that both McOue and Kingsley wero mixed up in all the speculations, frauds, and robberies now charged to the sole account of Mills, Rodman, and Sprague. These charges have, however, only met with indignant denial, both from those gentle men themselves as well as from their associates in the Board of Trustees of the Trust Company. But unfortunately for thoir asseverations of innocence, the Sun recently printed a schedule of mortgages on Kings County property running to the Trust Company, from which it appeared that the company held mortgages to the amount of $13,000, made by Edgar IX. rtniieh.

McOne's neDhew and business agent. some of which were based on property commonly re nnioA fir.innr frt the In regard to this show ing neither the Judge nor Mr. OulTen have ventured any explanation; bnt in tbe so called confession of Rodman, as sifted through District Attorney Britton's lips and printed yesterday, an attempt was made to clear up this matter by the assertion that Sprague had borrowed $46,000 from the Trust Company in Mr. Oullen's name without that gentleman's knowledge or consent. This was a singular assertion to nuke, and almost impossible to believe.

Possibly because of its incredibility another Hutiemeut was put out yesterday uy air. antion in ttiu form of a supplement. This statement is followed up by some hardly less libellous matter concerning the affairs of the Trust Company. AS OFFICER DEAD.

The farmer says he will drink no more Michigan cider, since it is so hard to keep it down.

A considerable sum of money was found Btowed sway in odd corners of tho house of Miss Jeru sha Peck, of Riverside, who died lately at the premature age of eighty. An old lady of Newport County, O. was awakened on Friday morning last, by the Coroner's jury, which had been Bent for by the family, under the supposition that she was dead. The inquest was postponed. A young sub lieutenant of cavalry in Paris, recently invited a young girl whom he casually met in the street, to ride with him.

When he returned, he ordered a lavish supper, of which both participated, after which he drew out his pistol and blew out his substitute for brain's. No one knew his name, and what was worse still, he had not even a sou. in his pocket to pay his restaurant bill. Charles Missotm, an employe of the Banque Oenerale, being about to leave Paris for Italy, lately invited some friends to dinner, and after a gay time, left the room, went into an adjoining apartment, and shot himself so that he died. No cause was assignable for the suicide, as he was well off.

Being but twenty years of age, some think he ended life too Boon, others thlnfr he began it too soon. A Vermont professor, who believed in the power of the human eye, lately selected a bull, which waB peaceimly grazing, as a proper subject for experiment. Without loss of time, he fixed his terrible optics on the bovine, and the next instant the skeptics who had come to witness the result saw him sail upward to the height of twenty seven feet, and descend swiftly on the other side of the fence. Fortunately the professor was not seriously hurt, but it is now said that he is a skeptic on the subject of ocular power himself. The most amusing and remarkable paper ever printed was the Hv.se Historique or Rhyminj Gazette of Jacques Loret, which, fdr fifteen years, from 1650 to 1C6S, was issued woekly in Paris.

It consisted of 650 verses, summarizing the week's news in rhyme, and treated of every class of subject, grave and gay. Loret computed, in 16C3, the thirteenth year of his enterprise, that he had written over 300,000 verses, and found more than 700 different exordiums, for he never twice began his Gazette with the same entree in matter. He ran about the city for his own news, nevor failed to write good verses upon it, and never had anybody to help him, and his prolonged and olways equal performance has been pronounced something unique in the history of journalism.

Beooklys, Oct. 18, 1873. the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle I am fifteen years old and beintf in the dark in regard to some things, would like to have Information. My age is excuse enough for not knowing everything, and consequently ask the reasons why a woman, who has a far better moral training given her by society, should be held less accountable when she violates morals than a man whose ohances for and moral training, when compared with hers, have been as one to five; why she is oredlted with being so much butter and' at the same time held less accountable.

Why it is that a woman can deceive a man in a matrimonial way and no punishment incurred, while a man is called to account and sometimes made to pay enough to make it quite worth while to have a man break hiB promise. Why is it that a young man under twenty one cannot claim his own earnings while a wife can pocket everything she earns, while at the seme time her husband iB responsible for her sup pert? vfhyisit that a huBband la not entitled to all hia own property, willed to him or otherwise, while a wife can claim all that she may earn or have given to her at the same time the law holding the husband responsible for all her scions? And why is it that a young man of eighteen, who is lialie for all a citizen's duties and responsibilities, haB not the rights of one 1 These things have puzzled me for some time and I thought (hat perhaps you could answer them. The questions I have aEked do not includo all I wish to know, but they are as much ae you cau answer at once. W. C.

NpBtHWSeentOirj I Fatal Railroad Accident in Wheeling. Paying SilTer The Secretary's Plan for uesnmpuon laseiy ne Postponed. Wbesltmo, W. Ootober 27 As a street ear was crossing the track of the Balti more and Ohio Railroad in the E'ghth Ward of this oily onSaturdar a passing train a brook the hind end of the car, and the passengers becoming frightened, ump ed off. One man named Adam Lozear waa run over, and so badly injured that he died in four hocrw.

Lozear had been making arrangements for the nneral of his brother in law and waa returning home when the accident occurred. Paying Silver. A special dispatch to Ihti Evening Post, from Washington, says, Secretary Richardson said to day that he was very much afraid that the aeitatton whioh has occurred in consequenco of the announcement of the intention of the Treasury Department to nlaoo the currency on a silver basis, had defeated the object he had in view, and would prolong the time for resump tion. The demand for ooln is muoh greater than was anticipated, and it is clearly evident that all the. silver in the Treasury would be absorbed in a very few days, if a policy of exchanging it for currency were now carried out.

The statement that the Treasury has only about two hundred thousand dollars with whioh to begin resumption is not correot. The amount on hand ia about half a million of dollars, and this, it was believed, until today when the extent of the demands for silver became known, wonld be enough to enable the Secretary to place tho currency on a Bilyer baBis.

Tho complaint in the above entitled action was duly aiod Embl ewOctom PlainUlTl Attorneys, S71 Broadway, 00S7 9wH Disappearance of aDlsappointed and Dissipated Young Mail, His Body Fonnd in the Hirer Covered irith Tar A 8nspleln of Foul Play Tiro Tfcpries to the Case. Two weeks ago, Thomas Duffy, a young man pf 25 years, disappeared from his residence, No. IS North Oxford street. He was living with a younger Bister there. Nearly a year ago, the father died, leaving an estate of some $30,000, to two daughters.

Thomas was disinherited. He was out of favor with his father, en account of his bad habits engendered by bad associates. The father frequently remonstrated with him, but It was to no avail, the sob recklessly pursuing a dissipated and downward career. While his father lived, he was supplied with money. On his death the eon was thrown on his own resources, and this led him even to greater excesses.

The elder Blater in the bank in her brother's account, and which was to remain there daring her life time. Two weekB ago this sister died. He was INTOXICATED AT THE FUNEBATj. On returning from the cemetery he went off with some of his aBBOoiateB. This was tho laBt Mb relatives saw of him.

The younger sister being deprived of her only protection, was almost orazed. 8he informed the police of the sudden disappearance of her brother, and search was made for him. On Saturday morning last tho body of a man was washed on the beach at tho foot of Twenty fifth Btreet. It waB discovered there by a boatman. He was horrified at the appearance of the body.

It was COATED WITH TAB from head to foot. A portion of the oce wob eaten away, and the clothes hung fast to the corpse. The boatman notified an officer of "hiB discovery and then word was 'sent to the Coroner. The body was removed to the Morgue. Its strange appearance excited the suspicions of the polioe, and efforts were made to find out who the deceased was and how he came to his death.

The sister was found, and she identified the body, but without considerable difficulty, the features being thickly covered with tar. She expressed apprehensions that her brother had come to his death foully. She observed him going off on the night of the funeral with some boon companions, and thought that they might in some manner have been RESPONSIBLE FOB HIS DEATH. Therowas a lack of motive through, for the young man had little money about him, and the only way to account for it was that he had got himself in some difficulty and had tarred and thrown overboard. Cor Jones ordered a post mortem examination to ascertain if there were any evidence of violence.

Dr. W. Bhep ardthe County Physician, held this to day at the house. He found the clothes, face, neck and portion of the breast of the deceased crusted with tir. There were no marks of violence upon the body, every organ being in a normal condition with the excoption of the stomach, whioh bore traces of irregular living.

D. 8hepard is of opinion that theer was no foul play. His theory is that the deceased, after leaving home, went in A PBOTBACTED SPEEE, ond, while perfectly helpless, tumbled overboard at some point in the river, presumably at the foot of Jackson Btreet, where the water is thick with tar. This, he states, would give the body the appearance it had. This is a reasonable enoegh theory, although there is another one which is ehtitled to weight.

That is that the decased, while intoxicated, wandered on the docks and was seized upon by sailors covered with tar it must have been cold else it would have burned the skin and then doused in the water fob A JOKE. If it was a joke it was a fatal one. Coroner Jones has summoned a jury, and an inquest will be held on the body to morrow, when further facts may be eUcited. SUPPOSED MURDER. Yesterday morning Officer Phelan found a man named James Qainn, in a lsgkr beer saloon in Sixth street, E.

D. Upon examination it was found that the man's neck was broken. The case was investigated, and it appeared, that Qainn had been carousing in Myer's saloon until an early hour in the morning, and was thon forcibly ejected from the room by Myer or his bartender. It is thought death either resulted from a blow given by one of these two men, or else was caused by the fall of Qulnn to the floor, while intoxicated. Myers was arrested, but the bartender has left town, and his whereabouts are not known.

The place has a bad reputation. as a man was killed there a few months ago by a blor upon the back of the neck. Coroner Whitehill will hold an inqucat. MONEY MARKET. The Decline in Stocks and Some of the Causes.

Gold Weakening A Plan for Circulating Silver Coin Sixteen Tons of Gold Melted Down. Wall Stbeet, October 273 P. M. The break in the stocks on Saturday and to day may now be sot down as the result of a big scare. That class of the public who congregate in Wall Btreet for the avowed purpose of picking up bargains became alarmed at the situation as it was presented iu some of the journals and greatly preferred to sell instead of buying, and in selling were not particular whother their saieB were speculative or real thus giving no heed to the warning in tho oft quoted couplet.

"He that sells what isn't his'n Must anto up or go to priBn" situation of the market was such that there waB little risk and a large degree of profit in the prospective for those who sold, while on the other hand there were few who wanted to buy, fearing that some tidal wave of misfortune was inward which would send values to zero and ruin the whtle world and the rest of mankind. It is true that the prospect waB not encouraging last week, but there was really no cause for great alarm. Seme of the leading magnates of the Btreet had been detected in transactions which had just a tinge of irregularity about them, but tho doings were of an old date, and not likely to affect the present speculation, except to the degree of impairing confidence. Tho bears were busy with stories of disaster to manufacturers in the Eastern States, and the manner in whioh the Treasury Department was floundering short did not tend to reassure the timid. To day the people were treated to another dose of intelligence, which was disagreeable because of the shape in which it wob put.

A little reflection showed that the mass of figures rotating to tho Qrlnnel hypothecated stock waB to a certain extent flctitiouB because a very largo amount of the hypothecated stock had already been marked under orders of the court previously modified. It was soon observed that there was a new element being infused into the speculation and the market grew stronger, Margeo quite active all day. As Boon aa the people get over their aoare we may expect a healthy reaction, and this will be encouraged by the large dealers who have every interest in preventing any further break in the market. Gold has been weak all day owing to the payment of the November interest without rebate and the disbursements thus far will be about $1,500,060. There is a very large amount of gold coming here from Canada and Europe for investment in stocks and in produce, and this haB a tendency to bear the premium downward.

The sales of gold thus far have been between 108 and and the market closed weak. The demand for Bilver at the sub Treasury is so great that tho Secretary could not do better than to sell silver coin to the highest bidder, as gold is sold. The premium which be paid for the first few weeka would go far toward defraying the expenses of coinage, and be, altogether, a profitable business for Uncle Sam. This is the sensible view which is taken of the matter by those who see their way olear to get out of the present difficulty, but it is not probable fcat the Secretary will adopt any suggestions that do not originate with himself. There have been melted, at the essay office In this city, since Ootgbcr 6, about sixteen tons of gold which, after being cast into bars, has been sent to Philadelphia for recoinage.

The decline of stocks to day has brought prices to within the following distances above the lowest priccB of the year thus far Erie, Pacific Mail, Lako Shore, 2f; North West t. ditto preferred, Ji; Bock Island, 6M; Western Union Central, 2): St. Paul, Union Paciflo, 0. C. and J.

0., Ohio, 1 Wabash, 4. This is bringing ttJcka down to ''hard par again, and that a reaction should ensue is not at all surprising. Money haB ranged between 8 and 1 32 and interest to day, and gold has cost 1 16 of one per cent, to carry. STOCK EXCHANGE SALES SECOND BOARD. NEW Tons, October 27.

oio. zotn tr. In the caso of John Dobbin, who claims to have re ceived the Democratic nomination, the inspectors decline to sign his papers. Second Assembly District. Mr.

Wm. L. Haadley, the Democratic nominee for Assembly in the Second District (old Third, Fourth and Eleventh Wards) is a lawyer by profession and an exceedingly estimable man. The nomination sought him, and with some reluctance Mr. Headley consented to accept it.

Mr. Headley ought to be elected in this distriot, and he will be, if the voters have had enough of mere politicians as legislators. Mr. Allen, who is the Republican nominee, is also a lawyer and personally a fair man. He served as District Attorney under Mr.

Tracy, and is nominated to represent thiB gentleman. Last year Tracy sent his partner from this District. ThiB year ho proposes to send his late subordinate. It EeemB to us it would be a great deal more manly for Mr. Tracy to imitate Mr.

Batcher's example and run for the office himself. If the "Three Graces" must be represented in the Legislature any way, we prefer to let them represent themselves. Tbe Sixth Ward Aldermanship. Ex Police Sargeant Dobbins, claims to have received the nomination at the late Democratic primary in the Sixth Ward. As in conducting the primary the resolution of the General Committee was violated, and he primary itself a scandal on a ward management pro verbially scandalous, the Genoral Committee have not decided as to who is the candidate.

The matter is farther complicated by the refusal of two of the inspectors to sign Dobblns's certificate of nomination. Tomorrow night the General Committee will deoide as to the candidate. Meanwhile several of the leading Democrat! of the Ward have arraingedfor a meeting to morrow, on the baBis that if Dobbin is the regular candidate, he will never be with their votes In connection with the subject we have received the following communication To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: AThere 1b a sharp electioneering game being played in the Sixth Ward for the purposoof getting voters 'pledged. It is being circulated by interesting parties that I am out of the "race" for Alderman I desire to say to my friends, that there is no truth in tbe statement, and tbe party making such representations, and calling himself the "Regular Democratic Nominee," is sailing under false colors, as the matter is yet unsettled by the General Committee. Such small tricks will deceive nobody.

By giving this a place in your paper, you will oblige, yours respectfully, J. W. Naughtoh, mi uurroil street. SEEBEGE'S BONDS Proposition to Return Them for $15,000. Mr.

Seebeok Believes They Wore Stolen by Some One Connected with the Loner Island Bank A Lively Intervio tv. In the "personal" columns of the New York Herald yesterday the following advertisement appeared "Give me a week to consider. Jobs H. Seebaok." Conjecturing that some proposition had been made to Mr. Sceback for the return of his bonds stolen from the safe of the Long Island Savings Bank a few weekB ago, a reporter of the Eagle was sent this morning to the house of Mr.

Sceback, on the corner of Nassau and Bridge streets. The following conversation occurred Beporter Mr. Seebeck, yon heard any thing yet about your box of bonds that was stolen? Mr, 8 Yes; I have heard of them. Reporter What trace have you discovered? Mr. 8 Well, a proposition has been made to mo for their return.

Beporter What terms were proposed? Mr. The parties want FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS CASH for the box and its contents. Reporter Might I ask how the proposition was made Mr. It camo in a letter which I received from Jersey City last Saturday. I gave tho lotter to the Superintendent of Police, but it read something like this: letter.

Jeebev City. "Mn. John H. Seebaok Are you willing to give $15, 000 for the return of your box and its contents? State, through the personal column of the New Tork Herald, whether you will accept the terms or not That was about the gist of the letter. It was signed with a name that I could not make out, but that looked like Shylock;" so yesterday I put that personal in the Herald, asking for a week to consider the matter.

Reporter Fifteen thousaod dollars iB a pretty large sum said the reporter. Mr. S. Why, yea I COULD NOT AFFORD to pay that. It would be hard work to raise that amount of money now.

I am willing to get my box back, but that is too much. At the most there is only about they could dispose of, and they would nnd hard work to do that now. The numbers of the bonds have been scattered all over the country, aad in all the large cities, and a good many of them are registered in my name. The United StateB bonds are about all they could dispose of, and now that the numbers are so well known I think it would te difficult to sell them. They couldn't do it in New York or Brooklyn.

Beporter I suppose the detectives are working up the case yet Mr. 8. Yes, but they have not found any one yet. Reporter Who do you think stole that box Mr. 8.

Well, I don't know, of course, and it would not do to acouse anybody yet. But I can't help thinking, and I am of the opinion, although I cannot say that it is so, that SOMEBODY CONNECTED WITH THE BANK stole that bor. They tell me that that compartment of tho safe had not been locked for six months. Now, I don't believe that; I think it's a LIE, for whea I used to go to the bank for my box I would have to wait for it, and if it was a dark day, they would take a light into the vault, I weat thers for the box in September, and had to wait for the box. It looks very suspicious.

B. Do you think $15,000 is too much to pay Mr. Of course it is It would be hard work to raise that amount of money, now. I am willing to pay something, but that is too much. R.

What course shall you take in the matter Mr. I don't know yet. I have taken a week to consider the matter. shall have to reply through the oolanws ot the Herald. B.

The letter gave no clue to the whereabouts of the thieves Mr.S. No. It was MAILED IN JERSEY OITY, but anybody could tcko a letter there. R. How widely have you advertised your bonds Mr.

S. I have been to all the offices of the companies of which they were purohaBed, and the polioe have aent the circulars all over tho country. The circular was in Wall street before the polioe got it after the robbery. This ended the interview. FIRES ON LONG ISLAND.

Description of the Scene Effect of tho lawyer's Address on Himself and the Jury Great Emotion A Fine Effort. The pelting, driving rain did not hare an appreciable effect upon the attendance at the Stokes trial this morning. The same, and more, women wore present, while the ordinary Inveterate loungers who olog the doorways of the Court were notably replaced this morning by a large assemblage of well dressed men who had evidently been attracted to the trial room for the first time by the prospect of the near ending of this great cause, STOKES looked very ill indeed, and during all the morning kept his face buried in a white handkerchief. Once or twice only did he show it, and then the traces of suffering and tears were plainly apparent. During Mr.

Tre raaine's opening, Indeed, he shed tears freely and, when he did look up, turned an agonized face to the jury. Stokes seems to be fast breaking up in health; bis face is eyes sunken, and his shoulders gaunt. Still, there 1b the indescribable air of gentle breeding about him that Fide did not, could not, possess; and when, at recess, he took the handof Mr. Tremaine, his faithful counsel, and bowed his graceful head to kiss it, it was difficult to help a sympathetic thrill. Stokes, of course, killed Fisk, and whatever may be the finding of the jury, the moral sentiment of the community is and must continue to be against him.

But time and the evident slow murder of confinement has dulled the public sense, and to day a plebiscite of the people of New York and Brooklyn would result in Stokes's triumphant acquittal. "Vice is a monster of such hideous mien, As to be hated, needs but to be 'seen But seen too oft, familiar with her face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace." So it has been with Edward S. Stokes. Upon the first trial he had few friends upon the second, many upon the third, he has no enemies. THE JT7BY, however, are by no means a sentimental body of men.

Their appearance would create the Impression that they will weigh each fact and suggestion with a Btern regard to tho truth and probabilities of the case. They aro not dime novel men and will probably be led away very little by the sophistries of counsel. As to the foreman of tho jury, Mr. Bartholomew, a spectacled gentleman of middle age, he never betrays the remotest sense of the value of whatever evidence is being adduced. He sits imperturbable as the sphynx, never looking to the right or to the left or betraying the remotest consciousness that anything of importance is going on.

The District Attorney, a ruddy faced, white haired gentleman of fifty or thereabouts, who looks more like a colonel than a lawyer, 1b also peouliarlyimpasslve, though he resembles a choleric officer who would a man's eye quicker than lightning for not' having his buokles bur nished. MB. TBEMAINE when he rose to address the jury this morning was very impressive. The man's arpearance and known char cater are in his favor to begin with. He is powerfully built with a head of massive structure.

When Homer spoke of the "ox eyed Juno" he described Tremaine. tHr eye or rather, both his eyes are singularly magnetic round, full, blue eyes that look down into one's boots with a glance. HJb few opening sentencos caused every man and woman in court to feel 'the importance, the improBBiveness of the task he had set before him. "This is," he said, "the time it has been my professional duty to stand before a jury of my countrymen to assist Edward H. Stokes in his life and death struggle with tho Commonwealth of New York." As he said it, his big frame trembled all over and the tears dropped from his eyes.

His emotion for a moment or two was absolutely beyond his control, and even the Judge on the bench was affected by it. Everybody seemed Instinctively to remember tho dark hours of Stokea'a imprisonment, after the Bcooud trial, with the SHADOW OF THE GALLOWS hanging over his cell, and not illumined until the fervent telegram came from Tremaine at Albany, "A new trial is granted. Thank God 1" The emotion of Mr. Tremaine commanded respect. It was not the tricky sorrow of the mere advocate it was the genuine heartfelt grief and hope of a brave, true friend, wh036 entire sympathies were enlisted in the cause he espoused.

THE FEELING seems to be that Slokes must be acquitted this time. Tho case will probably go to the jury on Wednesday. ON THE TRAIL. The Police Still on the Goodrich Murder Case. Arrest of Three Mob Lncetto Myers Fails to Recognize Them Discharged Kate Stoddard's Conduct.

Two nights ago the President of the Police Department wisited a certain houae near the St. Nio'io las, on Broadway, New York, and then HUBBIEDLY BBTUBNED to Headquarters, where he remained in consultation with the Superintendent until after midnight. At and prior to that time three men had been arrested and in terviewed by the authorities in reference to certain statements made by Lucette Myers, the parrot that never talks." Those who had been arrested and questioned estab lished a conviction held long ago by most every one familiar with the case, except some of the authorities, that Lucette Meyers WAS FOOLING THE POLICE. Of the number taken to headquarters was a Mr. Leieta, who had known Sate Stoddard in Plymouth.

He spoke of a Roscoe who also lived in this town. This gentleman did not know Luoettee, and the fact of hiB knowing a friend of Kate's of the same name as that g'ven by Lucette when first arrested, is the only thing which oauscs comment, and lends a color to some points of her story concerning the Goodrich. After the interview with Mr. Leich another person was taken, but when confronted with Lucette, she did not know him, and he too had to he released, being tble, like all the ethers to give a satisfactory account of himself. Both ot these were taken on suspicion, that they were BEACH, THE AUTHOR OF THE LETTER which urniBhed the clue that lead to tho arrest of Lu cetti Meyers.

A week after the murder of Goodrich, Chief Campbell received a letter from New York, signed in which he gave Lucetti's name and tho houses sbo frequented in the different streete in the city. But at last, at this day, tbe authorities begin to understand ber. They are of the opinion that there 1b no such person as Beach, and that Lucetti herself wrote tbe letter, in the hope of reward. Speaking of her detention in jail, General Jour jan said, "I discredit her story, she, I suppose, expected when arrested to make some money. In that, however, she miscalculated, though she has cost us something, we had a small room opposite her house and an officer stationed there.

Her story of the murder I do not believe, and wa can's use heb as a witness. Lucette if placed on the stand would contxadiot the confession of the woman alleged to be the murderer, and in whose possession Ohhrles Goodrich's jewelry was found. The searoh for Roscoe and Beach, while it will not be discontinued, will not be so energetically pushed as will the hunt for tho persons to whom the letters were addressed that were found on Kate the day Mary Handley arrested her, The postponement of Kate's trial was eflected in ordor. to give the detectives time to "work the search," and the most noticable activity to day at headquarters looks well for the speedy accomplishments of their labors. BOX 4,410 AND TWELFTH STBEET P.

O. STATION, will soon be arrested and interviewed. Heretofore the police were unable to make a landing they had nothing by which they could secure these people until recently. The objeot in gathering these men together is to fathom to its bottom the murder of Goodrioh, and clear up everything connected with the case mentioned, either by Lucette Meyers and Kate Stoddard. These two women are causing much annoyance to the keepers of the jail by their conduct.

The other day LUOETTB COMPLAINED to a Grand Juror of her food and She also is a lady. Yesterday, when requested to 'vacate her room for preparation for Divine Service, she refused, and sat through the services on her bed, WBAPPED IN A SHEET AND BLANKET. Kate still maintains her dignity, and oontiaues her disagreeable conduct, disturbing and inBultlng thOBo confined with her, and annoying her keepers. She becomes enraged if they approach her without conforming to tho rules of etiquette, and excitedly indignant If they address her by any other namo than Miss King or Mrs. Goodrich.

Yesterday she awoke iho eohoes in tho old building with her sohreeches and ories, de manding that Mrs. Merrlgan, whom she styled an old Irish be sent to another port of the jail, and not be confined on the same floor with her. The police say they are on the trail of all connected with the murder. THE LOST DAUGHTER. The application of James 8.

Their Cases to be Transferred to the Court of Oyer and Terminer. Sheriff Williams and Judges Delniar, Elliott and Riley Interviewed They Deny that They Hare Done Anything Wrong and are Fully Prepared for Trial. THE LIBELLOUS EDITOES. Detailed Statement of Their Cases The Articles for Which They are to be Tried "The Flight of the Swindlers" and "The King's Methods." LATEST INTELLIGENCE ON THE MATTER. On Saturday last" as reported in the Eagle, when tlio Grand Jury presented the indictments In the Court of Oyer and Terminer, District Attorney Cullen moved the transfer of all of 'them to the Court of Sessions.

Benjamin P. Tracy, the counsel for Sheriff WiliiamB, said at the time he understood that there was included in the list an indictment against Sheriff Williams, and he deBired that thiB indiotment should not be transferred. Judge Gilbert then said that he Bhould hold certain of the indictments until Monday morning, when he would hear the motion to transfer. The indictments held by him were those against Sheriff Williams, Ex Sheriff Walter and Justices Delinar, Riley and Elliott. This morning MB.

TRACT made his appearance in tho Special Term Room before Justice Gilbert, and with him was S. D. Morris, who has been retained as Counsol for Justice DeUnar and fiiley, and Counsellor E. T. Wood, who has been retained by Aldonnan Wylic indicted for libel upon Daniel Downey.

The two waited for about a half an hour when a messenger was sent to the District Attorney's office to ascertain why he was not present. The messenger returned with the intelligence that Mr. Britten was in New York aHd Mr. Cullen was engaged in trying a cause in the Court of Sessions, wherefore MeBsrs. Tracy, Morns and Wood put on their hats and coats and oversfioes and departed.

Tho reporter for the Eaole subsequently saw Mr. Cullen, and he said that the District Attoruoy would net nsist upon his motion to trarufor the cases to the Com of Sessions, if counsel for the accused preferred to have them tried in the COUET OF OTEB AND TERMINER. It was tho motion made by him was the usual motii made in all cases except of tho highest grade but if It cases had been moved into the Court of Sessions, counsel had a perfect rfght to move them back again. Sheriff Williams's Statement. Good mowing.

Sheriff," said an Eagle reporter to Sheriff Williams this morning. What have you to say to the action of tho Grand Jury in indicting you 1 "Well, I haven't seen any thing of it, except what is in the Eagle. That's whore I see those matters first. However, I think I am ready to meet any charges that may be brought against me. My lipB have been sealed bocause the Grand Jury was in session.

The people will soon see my statement. As regards the jail, it is in better condition, and the WANTS OF THE INMATE3 are better attended to than they have been for the past fifteen years. As to the overcharges I was morally responsible, of for tho actions of my subordinates, but not personally. I had no opportunity of determining positively what overcharges were made, but I undoubtedly returned to the county from TWO TO THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS MORE than the overcharges amounted to, when I allowed what was asked 'in restitution. "Then you have not heard whether the District Attorney 'has procured any warrants of arrest or not against you or your predeceBBorl" asked the reporter.

"I have not," answered the sheriff. "Can you make any further statement In relation to the case, Mr. Williams "No, not at present," was the answer, and the reporter took his departure. Assistant District Attorney Cullen was found in the Court of Sessions, trying a burglary case, and had no time to be interviewed. "But just tell me whether orders of arrest willba issued against these mon indicted," said tho Eaole man.

"Can't tell yet it's not decided what will be done about it. I presume these men will come forward and give bail for their appearance when wanted," and Mr. Culleu turned round to question a witness, a nd the Eaole man left. Justice Kilcy's Statement. There was a twinkle of fun in Justice Riley's eyes this morning when a reporter said to him, Well, Judge, I see your name is on tho black list." Justice Riley Yes; tho mania is increasing, and some in the last batch of indictments have an amusing element about them.

Reporter Why amusing Justice Riley Because ridiculous and absurd. Reporter Had you any intimation of them Justice Riley Nothing further than that, three or four days ago, it was rumored around the City Hall that some of the Justices would bo charged with misdemeanors, but I was so littCe interested as to fofget the circumstance. Reporter Have you learned the nature of the charges Justice Riley I know nothing about them but what the Eagle published. Reporter Were you surprised Justice Riley No; the rumor had prepared mo to expect anything within the range of possibility. But I felt like laughing at THE AE8TJBDITY of tha whole thing.

Reporter What do you suppos the indictments are founded on 7 Justice Riley Of course I cannot form any opinion. udging by hearsay Conrady's statements to the Grand Jury ia the fountain source. Reporter Then yon oan only conjecture what they consist of Justice Riley Rumor connecta them with a return of FALSE COMMITMENTS. Reporter Are you aware of anything regarding commitments that might bo considered irregular Justice Riley When Supervisor Cos's charges against tho Jail authorities were being investigated I was summoned as a witness, and I was shown several ten day commitments that had been altered after leaving my hands to twenty nine days. Reporter Was the handwriting reoognlzed? Justice Riley I do not it was well known that no one connected with my Court wrote the forged indorsements.

There is little doubt that the alterations were made within the Jail's Preclnota. Beporter You know no other grounds on which charges could be made? Justice Riley It is possible that dead commitments might accidentally have been sent to the Jail. Any Justice will toll you that this has occurred. Our clerks, to keep up with us, expedite their labors by making out commitments in advance from the Police returns. They have a general knowledge of the business done in our Courts, and form an opinion of what disposition will be made of prisoners who are charged with intoxication or vagrancy.

By having the papers prepared we SATE TIME. A justice can then nil tho blank space with the term of imprisonment, sign hiB name, and proceed with tenfold rapidity. The sentences imposed are sometimes re considered and judgment suspended. ThiB action is the result of variouB Influences, ouch as promises of reformation, a needy family pleading for their provider, tho urgent solicitations of worthy citizens who promise to care for their unfortunate friend in tho future, are among them. Now, with a docket of from thirty to fifty prisoners, It is not surprising that an annulled commitment of this kind might occasionally get among the other papers.

Reporter That would simply be through pardonable carelessness. JuAHee Riley Exactly, and no harm would follow if the Sheriff, or his authorized agent, did their duty and returned tho document. Reporter There ia only one way a mistake of that nature could rofleot upon the JUBtico. Justice EUoy Of course no wrong could follow unless the Sheriff and the Justice are in collusion. Reporter Then it is on ouch suspicion the indictments are probably baBed? Justice Riley That is presumable, if the rumor is to be credited that the charges are founded on irregular oammitments.

Reporter Have you had any conversation with tho Sheriff on this subject Justice Riley I have not. In fact I NEVEB SPOKE TO SHERIFF WILLIAMS half a dozen times in my life. When Walter was Sheriff I seldom saw him. Intact, we were not the best of friends, and when we met our only recognition was a passing salutation. Beporter Have yon decided what course In pnrsns when the warrant is served Justice Biley Not entirely I want to see the specifi cations.

I shall give ball and ask for a speedy investi gation, to clear myself of the foolish imputation. Justice Delmar. had a pen full of prisoners this morning, and was con sequently very busy, bnt he greeted the reporter pleas sntly, and suspended his labors to answer a few Inquiries. To the question, "What do you think of the charges 1 he replied, "They are too frivolous for serious consid eration." Beporter Have yon any Idas of what they are Justice DelBoai I can't imagine, I'm sure.

Last night about 11 o'clock there was suffi cient noise at the corner of Hioks and Union streets to attract Officer Cullen, of tho Third Preoinot. John Black was on the ground and George Webb was kicking his teeth out.

Three of them were out when the oinoer interfered, and the kicker was taken to the Station House and the other man to his home. They were both drunk. Black was unable to appear before Justice Delmar to day, and Webb was remanded for examination. P0IITTCAL PLEASURES. Last night, just before the witching hour, William Dryden and James Irving stopped near the Tenth sub Precinct Station House and began apolitical discussion.

In a shoit time they appeared to be angry. Dryden drew a revolver ahd said something about strewing somebody's brains around. He meant Irving'B, it is presumed, as he had the weapon pointed on a level with his head. Then came Roundsman Sheridan, and Dryden drooped. Justice Sender will receive any explanation he has to make.

MRS. L0WE3STEIN BOBBED. From an Albany paper it is learned that since the arrest of her husband, Mrs Emil Lowenstoin has been earnin her own living in that city. Having suved sufficient money for the purpose, she came to Brooklyn to learn about her furniture and other household effects. Arriving here, she found Mrs.

Weeton occupying the house in Palmetto street, and that all of her furniture and property, with the excep tion of an old trunk, had been removed. She could get no information concerning them, and returned to Albany. It was her intention to have sold them, and upon the proceeds to have lived during the winter. ANNUAL INSPECTION.
