The JurTge goes en to say that Phelps, tbe reeelrer in Heeler's suit, was mad a director in Jane, 1880, bat that W. F. Bruff held his written agreement to resign as director whenever Bruff requested htm. The opinion proceeds thus "Phelps was direotor of th corporation daring ITS OnOBS MISMANAGEMENT BY DBtTIT, and was either cognizant of it or ought to have been.

As receiver he will be called upon to investigate his own conduct as dlrootor."

The Fight Agaiust Rcpnfti licim Bossism. Progress of the Contest for the Control of the General Committee A Canons To morrow Night A Curious Story About Alderman Casey, Etc. The fight againBt bossism pro gresses with unabated vigor. It is believed that not withstanding tho boasts of Boss Daggett and his hench men, there is a majority of the membera of the Genoral Committee against him, and while that majority Is not yet organized in favor of a candidate for chairman of the new oommlttee, It will be before the time for the meeting shall have arrived. The friends of Mr.

John A. Nichols, of the Twentieth Ward, representing a very large proportion of tho anti boss olemont, aro working like beavers for him, and say there is hardly room for doubt that be will be eleotod caalrnian of the new coni mittoe. CommiBBioner Worth, Auditor Ammermsn, Lorin Palmer and General Jourdan are supporting him, and the boys are reBpondlng with a spirit and determination rarely witnessed in Republican oonteste here. Yesterday afternoon there waB an Informal conference of his friends at Fire Headquarters. Mr.

Worth was present. The faot that Mr. Nichols was seon at heaaquartere late In the afternoon gave rise to a report that he attended the conference. Ono of his friends explained this morolng that he had gone down there to see about an appointment for a friend, and waited until tho meeting adjourned in order to talk with Mr. Worth He was not prosent at the caucus, having arrived just before the cloee and not knowing it was in session.

Mr. Daggett wants Lawyer Hobbe, of the Twenty fourth Ward, elected Chairman of the General Committee. Mr. Hobbs has made himself very serviceable, and the boss wants just such a man at the head of the organization. Daggett and his frlendB profeBB to be confident of success.

M. J. Dad), one of Boss Daggett's lieutenants, said to day upon being Informed of the meeting yesterday at Fire Headquarters aud the efforts of the lndepondonts generally They can hold all. the oauouseB they like. Wo have got the votes.

We are sure of winning. The cauous has been called for Thursday evening at 8 o'clock, at Sawyer's Hall." He was asked if he had a copy of the call. "No," ha replied, "It waa here (at the City Hall), five minutoB ago." "By whom waB tho call issued "It was slgujd by twenty three members, I will get you a copy of it." Mr. Dady departed, but did not return. Reports from Mr.

Daggett's office wero that he had not been at tha office to day. A OURIOUB STOBY. The politicians at the Hall to day were dlsousBlng curious rumor in reference to Alderman Casey, of the Tenth Word, and tho organization of the next Board of Aldermen. It was to the effeot that there was a scheme on foot to organize tho Board In tbe interest of the Republicans with tho aid of Mr. Casey.

The latter is In trouble on account of charges against him of fraudulent naturalization, and the Btory is that he has agreed, or will be compelled to agree, to vote with tho Republicans, in which event ths proceedings against him will bo discontinued. Mr. Casey is a McLaughlin Democrat, and tho prime mover against him iu the naturalization proceedings, according to the current Is Mr. James McGarry, a prominent Independent Democrat of the Tenth Ward. The rumor is that Mr.

McGarry has a complete case against Casey, and that as the ageut certain Republicans and independent Democrats he ban given Casey to understand that ho (the Alderman) must act with the Republicans in the Board next year, suffer tho conBequonces. Mr. McGarry's services, it said, are to be reoogulzed In the reorganization of the Charities Commission by his appoiutmont as Keeper the Penitentiary, tn the placo of Mr. Shevlin, a nephew of Boss McLaughlin. This Btory Is given for what it 1b worth.

Whether there is any truth in it or not time only will determine. Neither Mr. Casoy nor Mr. McGarry was Been around the Hall, but the publication of this gossip concerning them will probably bring them to tho front to morrow. THE TAX 'SALE.

The Disease' in the Country Townsi The Oity Death Rat Yesterday What Health Commissioners Cran Says. Although trie Brooklyn Board of Health has no power outside of city limits, and Is not In a position to make statements concerning the preraleno of disease In tbe rural districts, it is understood1 that diphtheria Is raging in an aggravated form in Flushing and other Long Island towns.

"It is raging oh over the country" said Dr. Crane to the Eaole reporter this morning "and it is not to bo supposed that Long Island will escape the malady. Chicago particularly, Is suffering from diphtheria In an unusual degree, In fact, far more so than our own Island homo. There is no donbt that the weather has much to Ao with It, although In the large eitle defective sewer age is undoubtedly to be attribnted as cans." There were three deaths from diphtheria in this city yesterday, one in the Third Ward, one In' the Four teenth Ward and one In the Sixteenth Ward. Although rumors have been widely circulated' to the effect that some of tbe publio schools were try ba clos4 In consequence of the prevalence of tbe mlalady, thero appears to be no truth lu them whatever, as tha follow ing interview with Health Commissioner Crstre will show "Doctor," Mid the reporter.

"Is dlDhtheria so' bod tnat tne Board of HcaUh has been considering the advisability of closing the public achoola of tbe city "Not at all," was ths reply. "There is not truth in the rumors. State positively that no suoh ldea haa ever entered our minds. I tell yon plainly tHat diphtheria is not raging so badly as some people think. It Is very bad, of conrso, but 11 has by no means assumed the dignity of an epidemic IteBt assured that the Board of Health will TAKE EVEBV PRECAUTION regarding tho school children.

No child living In a plagne strioken house will be permitted to attend a public school without a certificate from the Sanitary Superintendent or one of his assistants to the effect that he or she Is la good health and that there Is no cause for alarm. The Inspectors are kept hard at work and everything that it la possible for ua to do, looking to a suppression of tho disease, is bolng done. This statement, and many other similar ones, out to set tho publio mind at rest, ami I hope it will. Last week there was considerable decrease in the death rate of diphtheria, and although the malady cannot be suppressed all at onee. I think that it will gradually make Its disappearance." No deaths for to day had been reported up to twelve o'clock this afternoon.

Klappmann, a laborer, aged 40, of No. 34 Atlantis avenue, committed suicide at twenty minutes to two o'clock this afternoon, by cutting his throat with a razor. He drew the weapon from ear to ear, nearly severing tho head from the body, and expired on the spot. The act was committed in his home and was, it is said, witnessed by a friend, who found it Impossible to restrain him. Ambulance Surgeon Hatch was summoned, but on his arrival he peroelvcn from the naturo of the wound that tbe man must had died almost Immediately after committing the ra6h aot.

The body was surrounded by a pool of blood, and the razor, which had not since been touched, remained by its side. No definite cauee for the suloide has yet been as signed. It is understood that Klappman was given to melanoholy, and that he killed himself in a fit of tern, porary insanity. He was married and the father of family. The body was taken car of by frlendB, and 1 the Coroner has been notified and an official inquiry as to the causa of suicide will be Btarted.

BOY BURGLARS. A Successful Itaid in the Tenth Precinct by Three Younjr Thieves. Three boys, named John Carr, of No. 407 President utreet William Urown, of No. 497 Third avenue, and Charier aiilford, of No.

4CG Warren ntroet, the two former being 12 yean of age and the latter 13, called at the pawnBhop of Mr. Arthur J. Heanoy, No. 216 Atlantic avenue, last pvoning, for the purpose of pawning some articles of allver ware whioh they had in their possession. The assortment was a miscellaneous one, consisting of napkin rings, knives and forks, spoons and other articles used on a well furnished dinner table.

From the appearance and manner of the lads, Mr, Heanoy at onee oonoludod that they had been enagaged in soma robberies, and following his invincible ouBtom on suoh occaslonB, aent a messenger for a policeman. The officer who was on patrol duty iu tho neighborhood, on being told that his services were required, haatenad to Mr. Heaney'a shop, from whioh the boys, seeing that they were Buspected, were anxious to take their departure. Mr.Heaney, however, stood In the doorway and kept them prisoners until the arrival of the offioer. While the boys were negotiating with Mr.

Heanoy as to what he Bhould give them for the articles, which wera spread out on tho couuter, a canary bird flew from the poeket of one of them, but waa caught. On seeing the policeman, the boys admitted that they had stolen all the property and that even the oanary bird was a part of tbe plunder which they had scooped in during their afternoon raid through the Tenth Preoiuot. Tha boys were taken to the Butler street Station House and looked up on a charge of burglary. Captain Mackellar of ths Tenth Precinct, had already been notified of the DEPREDATIONS OF THE VOUNO BABOALS in hie balllwlok. The robberies were carried out In a most audacious manner, the boys apparently having no fear of the polloo before their oyas.

The first house which they entered was that of Mr. Thomas M. Bother, of No. 247 Sixth avenue, One of them quietly passed through the basement door, whioh had been left unfastened, and in a few moments returned to his companion, who Uopt watoh outside, with over $100 worth of silverware In his possession, whioh be bad picked up from tbo table. Tho residence ot Mr Wm.

Hagan at No. 170 Macomb street was next raided. This was euterod by opening the front basemont windows. Thla raid waa not so successful, only $25 worth of property being sceured. The third descent waa made on the residence of Mr.

Wm. Bauly, No. 265 Sixth avenue, from which $80 worth of silverware was taken. The canary, to which rsforenee has been made, waa taken from a cage in the front window of Mr. Daniel Gillespie's house, No.

8S9 Bergen street. All tho stolen property was recovered, a few articles having been pawned In Selig's shop before the boys visited Mr. Heaney's. Tho prisoners were arraigned before Justice Ferry this morning and held for examination. ly Ib a as so to as of Long Island.

The plans inoluded the ereotion of hotels and cottages, after the fashion of Long Deaob Since then agents hare been at work in every locality bordering on the seashore, and large bays, purchasing and leasing beaoh and meadow, and it is believed that every available spot Is now under the control of this corporation. It has leaked ont within the past month that Mr. Corbin and hie Boston friends composed this corporation. It was Boston capital that brought Long Beaoh Into existence, and within a few days Mr. Cor bin and his Boston frlonds have visited this new watering place and many sites along the ocean front.

If Mr. Corbin's purpose is what be is credited with, there Is a great future opened for Long Island. Mr. E. B.

Hinsdale, who has been oonnected with the Lang Island rallroadB for many years, was Interviewed thiB morn Ing, but he would give no particulars of the sale. He said, however, that the object of Mr. Corbin was to develop the resources of Long Island from Coney Island to Montana Point. Ho will, Mr, Hinsdale said, BBBTJTLD AND BE ECJTrrp AM. THE MNES, and lay double trackB.

Thi3 would bo a desirable Im provement The Long Island Road Is in good oondl. tion between Hunter's Point and Hicksvillo, but eastward tha rails are light and well worn. The North Shore Road is In fine condition between Hunter's Point and Flushing, but on the Great Neck branch it is ex ceedingly rough. Mr. Sharp had taken steps for the improvement of thiB branoh when Mr.

Messenger stepped In as receiver. The Montauk Road was relald with now iron from Hunter's Point to Pearsall's Corner, the junction of the new road to Long Beach. From that point on to Patohogue there is room for groat im provement An expenditure of $1,000,000 is likely to be made. That sum will make ths Long Island rail roads second to none. No ono is willing to stato specifically tho terniB of the ale.

The Poppenhusens paid the Havemoyers $1,400, 000 for tbo controlling iutorest. Tho total number of BhareB represented by the stock is 65,212. Drexel, Mor gan Company loaned the Foppenhusons fifty per cent. of the face value of their stocks and bonds, and 35,000 shares passed into the hands of the bankers. It Is estimated that this house have loaned upon receivor's certificates, $200,000.

In order to have tho roceivor appointed it became necessary to buy a judgment for $70,000. The impression in Wall Btreet is that tbo banking house did not receive the full amount advanced to the Poppenhusens $875,000 and that they lose con Bldorahly. On the other hand, Mr. Fabbri, ono of tho firm, who has had almost exclusive charge of tho mat ter, states that tbe firm losos nothlDg. Ths stock sold In Wall Btreet, yesterday, at twenty, and dealers say that twenty bid and twenty nve asked represents its value.

Of course the sain to Mr. Corbin carries with it the control of the leased lines, the Montauk and North Shore divisions. Since Mr, Sharp became receiver THE CENTRAL ROAD has been abandoned between Flushing and Garden City and the iron and bridges transferred to tho other roads. The Long Island road wai made to run through Garden City by a branch. The branch from Mineola to Hemp etead was rebuilt.

The line between Hempstead aud Valley Stream was oloBed. Tho Southern Railroad was virtually abaudonetl betweon Jamaica and Springfield, and one of tho two tracks torn up. Tho travel was di verted to the Long Island Railroad between Jamaica ana Springfield. Tho line between Garden City and Babylon, whioh sank $300,000 for Mr, Poppenhusen, was closod for a tlmo, but subsequently reopened for tbe running of Fatchogue express trains, and the Grcenport express trains were alBo run over it between Garden City aud Bethpage. The Annex between Hunter's Point aud Pine street was eatabliBhod last Summer.

The Long Beach Railroad and hotel wore coustructed last year and the route between Greonport and Block Island and Newport opened. A Talk with Austin Corblu. Mr. Austin Oorbin was visited by an Eaujle roporter to day, at tbe office of the Corbin Bankiug Company, on Broadway, New York. He set in his private rijoui, the walls of which are adorned with pictures of the great resort at Manhattan Beach.

Mr. Corbin readily offered to give the Eaole all the information In his power. "Representing a body of capitalists," he satd, "I have purchased from Droxel, Morgan Co. an interest that giveB me control of all tho Long Island railroads, ex cept two or three local linos running to Coney Island. The termB of the transfer I am not at liberty to mako public at present.

It is sufficient to Bay that the trans action is satisfactory to all parties concerned, and will, I have no doubt, bo satisfactory to the people." This is not a new Idea, Mr. Corbin?" suggested the reporter. No, sir; I have been negotiating for tbe road sev eral months. I have always believed In Long Island in its advantages aa a place of residence, in Us agricul tural productiveness, in tho attractiveness of its Sum mer roBOrta and in itB value for railroad purposes. My faith In this direction has, perhaps, been stronger than that of almost any other man who preteuded to have any understanding of the subject.

All the Island needs is development, and now that development is going to take place. When we have accomplished what we hope for tho Long Island Ballroad will be a very valuablo proporty. What the road needs la to be cleared and managed as a sensible man would manage his own business. It wants to be entirely overhauled. It is now in a bad condition, financially and physically, but after January 1, when it changes bands, the improve ments will commence.

Of course, wo cannot make a perfect road In a day, but with tbe commencement of the new year we shall go to work In earnest, and put it in good shape aa soon as engineering skill, business en terprise and liberal expenditure can acoompliBh it." 'In what will the Improvements oonslat7" Tt is almost too early to go into details, but I will outline, In a general way, my plans. The road bed is to be repaired where it is nooossary; new rails are to be laid; the rolling stook is to be increased until tbo demands of travel are fully complied with, and trains will be run rapidly and on time. One object that wo have in view Is to develop to the fullest extent the farming sections of tbe island. We shall use every effort to thia end, and if we Bucceod of which I have no doubt we expoct the road will bocome very profit able." THE SOUTH SIDE. "What are your plans os to Summer rosorts?" I propose to make the south aide of Long Island tho greatest watering place in the world.

Its natural beauties and advantages are so great that the improvement of the wholo stretch of coa'et is as certain to come as the world is to Btand. It is a beautiful coun try, that Long Island shore. I have lived there eight years and I know whereof I epoak when I say that tho climate, tho scenery and the natural attractions are unsurpassed in any part of this oountry or Europe. I have not a partlclo of doubt that within ten years the south side from Coney Island to Montauk Point will be bordered by a continuous chain of seasldo Summer resorts. It is not, however, entirely because of my faith, in Long Island as a placo of Summor residence, that I take the interest in it which I do.

With proper acocnimodatious for travol it will be an advantageous place of abode, both in Summer and iu Winter." What effect will the change have on Coney Island travol 1" I think it will servo to extend it. The new arrange ment will probably bring tho trains of tiie Mauhattan Beach Company und the Brooklyn, Flatbush and Coney Island Railway Company into Flatbush avenue on equal terms. Wo havo no desire to create any antagonism with rival corporations. Our intention and desire is to have fair play all tho way through. Under our purchase we can givo people an opportunity, by means of safo, prompt and comfortable tt ausit, of visiting any rosort on the coast, from Coney Island to tho Fast end.

Wo shall, of course, have control of travel to Long Beach, Shelter Island and all resorts on both shores." Do yon contemplate extending the route by boat from tho East end to New England No, that is not the intention. We have not consid ered the subject of an Eastern conuectlon, and I am against it. The Long Island system, 1 believe, is for Long Island alone, We havo in view tho extension of the road from Patohogue to a point whore it will strike tho North shore, not far from Marlonvlllo. That I do not think we shall do at onee, but the extension will be made at the earliest opportunity." "Will you the Sag Harbor branoh to Montauk Point?" "No, we shall not go to Montauk just yet. If It is ever eapitaiized and Improved, we may bulid a railroad there, but there is no need of one at present, and wouldn't pay.

I may say In passing, however, that I think Montauk Point a very plcturosquo spot, and well adapted to the purposes of a Summer resort. A NEW ERA. "The public may safely assume, then, Mr. Corbin, that a new era has opened for Long Island 7" "To that end we shall direct our best energies. The growth of a country through which a railroad passes helps the road, and the road should help tho country to the exteut of its power.

It is to our interest to help in making every resort on the Island profitable. We shall furnish every facility for reaching Manhattan Beach, Long Beach, Rockaway and othor places. While I am greatly interested in Manhattan Beach, where I intend making some improvements this yoar, I shall do nothing to injure any other resort, believing that individual prosperity inuHt necessarily result In the prosperity of the whole. Some people may prefer Mauhattan Beach, somo Long Beach, Bomo Uockaway and Rome another placo. They shall be laoilitatod by everything the railroad company can do in following the bent of their preferences.

In poiut of fact, we intend making the Long Island Ballroad a profitable institution, aud we thoroughly understand that we cannot do that without affording the publlo adequate and reliable traveling facilities. Much of the rolling stock we are to use will be entirely new and that whioh we continue in service will bo thoroughly overhauled and ronovated. portions of tho routo the line will bo double tracked an Improvement which may ultimately extend throughout the entire railroad system of Long Island. one thing the poople may rest assured, the trains will be run on lime. There will bo no wild cat specials rolling over tho branches, no unnocossary dolays and accidents that human skill nd foresight can prevent.

Our most radical change will be tho change of improvement and that wo propose to continue until the Long Island Railroad system, in all Its branches and ramlfloatlonB compares favorably with any in the United States. The time for Long Island to awaken from its long sleep has come, and whatovor the enterprise I represent can do to assist In the development of the Island will be dono with hearty good will," What Drexel, Jlorffas fc Co. Say. An Eaole reporter called at the banking house of Messrs. Drexel, Morgan Company, In Wall street, and asked of Mr.

Fabbri, a member of the firm, further particulars concerning the sale. Mr. Fabbri said he could not disclose the terms of the transfer. He would Bay, howover, that the main reason the firm had for selling out was that tboy could not run the road, as tbelr business was banking and not railroading. Tho house had received their money back with Iutorest, and that was all there was about It.

A member of the firm said to the reporter Wo think we cauiay in perfeot good faith that we believe the sale will benoflt all those who remain interested in the securities of the Long Island Railroad. The transfer of the control of tbe Long Island road and leased lines to such mon as Mr. Corbin and associates sets at rest the oontemplatod aobemes of narrow gauge competition on the south side of the Island, and places the management of the entire system in the hands of able and shrewd railroad men who will conduct the business themselves and look after the exponses, whioh, as you know, is tho only way in whioh any road, but especially this, can be made to pay. It le part of our understanding with Mr. Corbin that nothing will done tn tho loast degree unfavorable to tha Long IslanrLfnterests, but, on the oontrary, the whole system will be worked harmoniously under one MB.

A special meeting of the Charities Commissioners was held at 444 Fulton street this morning, for the pur pose of adopting the usual monthly pay roll.

All of the members of the Board were In attendance, Commissioner Sbipman occupying the chair. The weekly requisitions were read and approved, and then the pay roll waB adopted. A brief disoussion upon the failure of one of the contractors to furnish supplies followed, and on motion of Commissioner Shipman the olerk was directed to notify the delinquent that if he did not promptly honor the requisitions made upon him the goods would be purchased in open market. If this is done the difference between the market value of the articles and the contract figures, if there is any, will be charged to the contractor. Commissioner Ship man offered the following Reiotved.

That this Board strictly prohibits snv of the teamB or wagons owned by this Department to be used for the carting of any supplies from con tractors whose oontrsots oall for the delivery of the same at the storehouse of this department; and be it zurtner Resolved. That the secretary of this Boardtforward a copy of tho above resolution to the Superintendent of tne Almshouse. The Chair stated that he submitted tha resolution because he had been given to understand that the coun ty wagona were used by contractors. There was no authority for any such practice where it was stipulated that the contractors theuiBelvee should deliver the goods. The resolution was adopted and the Board adjourned.

TBE BLISSVILLB BRIDGE CONTROVERSY SETTLED. A meeting of the Joint Committee of the Board of Supervisors of Kings and Queens counties was held at the Oourt House at noon to day, Supervisor Van Nos trand occupying the chair. Tha other Supervisors present were Messrs. Dowllng, BrinkerhotT and Den nett, of Queens, and McKeerer, Hodges and Clark, of Kings. A long discussion took place re garding the construction of the superstructure of the BlissviUe Bridge.

It was found that the amount of money at the disposal of the committee was not sufficiently large to admit of the construction of an iron superstructure, and Messrs. Swift Van Aiken, who had submitted plans for a wooden superstructure, were requested to furnish figures showing that its strength would be up to the required standard. Mr. George Swift, who represented the firm at the meeting of the committee this morning, lurnisnea tne necessary strain sneets. xney were found to be satisfactory, and on motion of Super visor Clark it was agreed to recommend the acceptance of his bid by the two Boards of Supervisors.

The amount of Swift Van Aiken's bid is $7,820, and the cost of the substructure will be $12,200, making the total oost of the bridge $20,020. The amount appropriated for the erection of the bridge is $25,000, so that a considerable surplus will be left. Mr. Frank Rogers, who has the contract for the substruc ture, has already commenced operations. Tho oontract for the othor part of the bridge will probably bo award next Tuesday, to which day the Joint Oommlttee djourued.

GOBBLED CP. The Funds of the llrooklyn Elevated Hallway Substance of tho Opinion Written by Jndffe Westbrooh on Appointing Receivers in the Suit Bexrun by the People 7, Expended and Not a Mile of ltoad Completed. President W. Fontaine liruff (Inn trnctiiitr with Himself and Paying Himself Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars. Edwin S.

Keelor brought suit against Wil liam Fontaine Bruff, the Brooklyn Elevated Railway Company and others, for a receiver, etc. Richard G. Phelps was appointed receiver by Judge Cooko, and subsequently Alfred Wagstaff wbb appointed corocelver tbe amo judge. A suit was begun by the People through the Attorney Genoral againBt the railway and others, the complaint in which charges official mls oonduot and waste of the property of the oompany by officers thereof, W. Fontaine Bruff, W.

Hawkins Bruff, Henry V. BrutT, Richard Q. Phelps and Edwin Keeler, and aBks: First. That euch officers, being defendants In the action, should be compelled to account for their official conduct in the management of oorporation and its property. Second.

That they should also be suspended from their offices. Third. That the corporation and the eald officers should be enjoined from receiving any debt or demand due to the railway oompany, and from paying out or traniferrlng monoy or property belonging to it. Fourth. That receiver or receivers of the property of the defendant, tho Brooklyn Elevated Railway Company, be appointed by the court, with the usual powers of receivers in like cases and Fif tb.

That the plaintiffs shall have sueh further or other relief In tho premises as to court shall seem Just, togethorwlth the costs of this aotion. A motion was made beforo Judge Westbrook, at Special Term of the Supreme Court in Uletor County, an in junction and a receiver. In granting the motion Judge WeBtbrook found that these facts wero established Tho Mossrs. Bruff and Keeler are directors tho company. W.

Fontaine Bruff was the Fresldeut chief engineer, aud Richard G. Pholpn, one of the defendants, was a director until roceutly. Oil September 1, 1879, the company oxeouted a mortgage to Farmers' Loan and Trust Company to securo bonds of a thousand dollars each to the amount of three million, five hundred thousand dollars, but tho Isbuo to be confined to three bnndrod and fifty bonds for each tnilo of said railroad. By the contract for the construction of the railway, dated February 7, 1879, purporting to have been made with Robert B. Floyd Jones, contractor was to be paid for oach ooinpleted mile road, by tho issue and dolivery to him of three hundred and fifty bonds of $1,000 each, and $500,090 of the capital stock, but the issue was not to be in advance of completion of the road, unless tha bonds were sold, which oaBo the proceeds were TO BE PAID OUT NO FASTKB the contractor than aa the work was completed.

Prior to the actual execution of the oontract with R. B. Floyd Jones, on December 24, 1878, the contractor had assigned a contract to W. Fontaine Bruff, then and ttftorward tho President and chief engineer of the railroad company, as the same waa "eat forth In letters doounientB, dated from 11th to 24th of December ('78) and after the actual execution of suoh contract of construction, and on the very day of the data thereof (February 8, 1879), the said Floyd Jones made another and formal assignment thereof to the Bold Bruff. Both SBBlgnmenta were to BrufiV SB trustee, who tbe parties interested were, if other than Bruff, does not appear.

The Interests of the corporation in the execution of the contract were Intrusted to Fontaine Bruff, W. HawklnB Bruff, Harry V. Bruff, Richard G. Phelps and Edwin S. Keeler, and they alio obtained all the stock and bond of the company.

NOT A SINOLE MILE OF BAILROAD yet bean built, but $1,203,000 of the mortgage bonds have been issued, also $225,000 of scrip bonds, and capital stock to the amount of $5,000,000, and obligations Issue and deliver stock to the amount of $1,500,000 more have also been delivered. In othor words, after expenditure of atock and bonds to tho amount of $7,928,000, not a mile of road Is completed, and the 20th day of May, 1881rby which date the structure must be finished under penalty of forfeiture of charter. Is rap Idly approaching. Tho oontrsots for the construction road puiport to be signed by W. Fontaine Bruff, as'president of the railway company, In Its behalf, and R.

B. Floyd Jones In his own. Tho certificates, under whioh HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. hare boen paid to the assignee of the oontract, W. Fontaine BrutT, are elgnod by himself thus, W.

Fontaine Bruff, C. Engineer in Chief." The Court says When the president of a railroad oompany makes a contract with himself for the oonstruotion of a railway, when be obtains all the securities, stook and bonds under the pretenae of paying tho nominal contractor, when as chief engineer he makes himself as contractor certificates of work done and then as president pays himself many hundred thousand dollars in advance of what the nominal contractor was entitled to receive under the contract for construction, amplo cause Is shown for the appointment of a receiver, and the command of the statute to the Attorney General that he must bring an action, becomes Imperative. Now, what answer Is made to the applies. Hon None of the facts herein detailed are denied. On the contrary thev are all admitted, but it Is olajmed that Mr.

Edwin S. Keeler, one of the defendants herein, had already brought a suit againBt the Messrs, Bruff and the Brooklyn Elovatad Railway Oompany, making similar allegations to thoao made, in this noUoH a a a Testimony in the Oypresa Hills Cemetery Investigation. A Hot Owner Tells How lie was Cheated. Mr. Drlirgs Shows that Money Paid for Cemetery Lot Went into the Pocket of a Trustee Officers of the Cemetery SelUnsr Lots not Belonglnjr to it and Getting1 a Commission Therefor.

The Legislative Committee engaged iu in vestigating tbe lnanigoniout of Cypress Hills Ceme tery held another session at the office of the company yesterday afternoon, Messrs. Wren, the Chairman, Benedict and Russell, of the committee, being pre3ont. Mr, Edwards, the Secretary, at the request of Mr. Edmund Driggs, offered a written statement of the asset and liabllities'o'f th cemetery, that had been requested of tho committee, in which approximate values had been placed on the lots, fences, buildings, showing the nefr assets of the cemetery to be, aU told, $1,212,844.13, an amount insufficient to provido a fund for the core of tbe cemetery af tor all its lots shall hare been sold. A LOT OWNEB'S TESTIMONY.

Mr. George A. Kingsland being oalled, testified that he lived at No. 137 Kent street. Eastern District, and that he had purchased two lota iu Cypress Hills Cemetery Section 9, Nob.

494 and 495 the deeds of which aro dated December 6, 1805. This purchase he made from the cemetery, at tho ofllce of tbe then superintendent. He had paid an extra mm of money above the price of the lots in order to obtain Care Fund certificates, and understood, whon he waa ao paying It, tbat he was securing the perpetual care of tho lots he bad purchased. The deeds wero sent to hiB lawyer shortly after, and witness noticed that no Care Fund certificate was attached, or mention mode of the matter in the deed, so he went out to the cemetery, and waB assured by the superintendent that the matter was all right, It made no difference but tint the lots would be cared for as the mosey had been paid. The price given for the two lots waa $240, which included tho wituesB' contribution to tho care fund.

No care had boen taken of the lots, but some valuable plants and a shade iree had been taken away from them. LOTS NOT BELONGING TO CEMETERY SOLD AT ITS OFFIOB. Mr. Driggs then arose oxaminod Mr. Kingeland.

His first question was Q. Bo you know that vonr deed before we had created the trust fund of the cemetery A. I don't know anything of the kind. I do know that lots were sold previona to that, and at that time met care fund provisions. y.

uave you any writings to show that? A. No; I have nothiua In writlniz to show am nntlllnrt tit. but I havo living witnesses, and have never surrendered the benefits I purohaaed aud paid for. Q. Did you know that the lot you purchased did not belong to the cemotory 7 A.

I supposed it did belong to the cemetery, for I bought it at the office and from its superintendent. Ml. Driggs Well. I'll tell von now th into not belong to the cemetery. Palmer got a commission on them, for he sold them for an outside party to whom they had been sold to raise money for tbo cemotory Mr.

Kingsland When I went to the ofllce of the cemetery and purchased from its officers I thought of oourBO I was dealing with the cemetery.

Chairman, if thiB is a reuular oroBS examination, I must have mv counsel heru to make my evidence consistent. Why was I not cross examined when my evidence waa fresh In my mind 7 uooxe wen, tnen, air. Driggs, you would have remembered what you had stated to tbo committee. Mr. Wren, the cbairiwiu.

checked further discussion on the subject aud allowed the matter to drou until counsel was present as desired, but said he would Uko a little information in regard to tho financial statements handed iu. One year, from July. 1854, to July, 1855, was a hiatus, and there were no figures furnished for that time. Mr. Driggs explained tbat reports were made irregu larly then, but they were all in the cash book ond could be drawn off.

Tho regular reports did not commence until 1857 tho cemetery was started in 1818. Mr. Wreu la it a fact that diirlnu tho nast few vears the debt of the cemetery ha9 increased and the assets decreased in such proportion that the debts will eat up all the revenue of the cemetery and thero will bo nothing left to caro for it In perpetuity 7 Driggs The floating debt has been reduced during the last twelve years, the bonded debt has boen increased, but for that the cemetery has received many more lots this increase of Indebtedness has boen for the purchase of lots, bought at half coBt to the holders, and at one eighth of what they are now selling for. Mr. Driggs then stated that the cemetery did not aci any money in the care fund, as the outside holders would not pay in the amounts due.

In order to get the money into it, and thus be enabled, to expend the inter est on the $20 per annum In the lots, we authorized Palmer, tne superintendent, and undertakers to say, "Buy your lot of the cemetery at the same nrice. and you shall have a oare fund certificate," but It did not tena to increase tue Bale of Jots belonging to the cemetery. The committee then adjourned, the cross examination of Mr. Miles on bis statements In justification of him self being set down for the next session. NDIISES.

A Training School for Them in Brook lynThe Institution Lately Established on Adelphi Street fts Object and Prospects Iteccptiou l.uut Even. in jr. A training school for nurses hns been es tablished at No. 257 Adelphi Btreet. It is all that its name implies that Is to say, under its auspices women receive regular Instruction in the Bphero they have ohosen, pase examinations, and, if qualified, obtain diplomas as a guarantee of their professional ability, it is the first institution of the kind organized lu thia city, and has so commended itself to so many prominent and well known resldonts as to earn their hearty encour gement and support.

It is modeled ou the plan of the Bellevue training school In New York, embraces the same course of lnstruotiou, and is governed by essentially tho same regulations. Its object is to provide trained nursing in hospital and private families, and the City Hospital, on Raymond street, has been selected as the institution where the novitiates learn tho initiatory lessons, gradually become more adept and finally professional, by reason of knowledge and experience. Seven nurses and a superintendent live at No. 257 Adelphi street. Affairs have been so srranged that one or more of their number are always at the hospital, aud while they are regularly paid and are provided with a pleasant and comfortable home, they have the advantage of working in a practical field.

The superintendent of the training echool Is responsible for THE NUBSINO AND THE HOSPITAL, and it Is needless to say that since she has assumed the charge she has performed her duties satisfactorily. That the arrangement has the unanimous approval of the direotors of tbe Institution Is attested by tbelr unflagging interest in it and their advocacy, of It, and that the movement Is likely to prove, successful Is premised by the suspioes under which It starts. And yet the echool Is hardly, one month old. It took active form on the firetr of the present month. At present it is supported by voluntary contributions, as tho outlay has boen andiis oxtensive; but In the future it will be self by reason of the fact that the nurses will pay to It a percentage of their earnings in relurn for early advantages from it received.

Fivo thauaaml dollars were asked for. Three thousand dollars hava been received. Those dosiring to contribute to a worth Institution may send their subscriptions to tbe super. lntendont.or to any of the directors of tho City Hsas pltal. The nurees are not required to pay aj 4 their training includos, among other tilings, jt0 instruction in physiology, anatomy and THE RECEPTION.

PHILIP BEELY, the son of deceased, made the following statement: My father and I want into Grass' saloon about 6 o'clock; we had juBt left off work my father called for beer for me and lilmeelf Grass was standing on tbe outside or the bar talking with another person; Grass said my father owed him my father denied it, and said he owed him GrasH s.tid ho would put ua out, and bit me in the face with hi open hand father walked to him and allied him if he said he put us out; as ha said this Grass got hold of blm by the vest then a big fellow oame along and he and Grass shoved father toward the door the barkeeper kept ma away from them; when Grass had faiuer at the door he gave him a punoh in tho eye, and while he was falling over he kicked him and then pushed him out in the street father got up, went inBlde and askef for another drink; GrasB said ho would not give it to him and pushed him over to tbe door father fell over a stop at the door, and while he was falling Gras kicked him again in the abdomen my father was sober he got up and we went home I did not ask my father to go back and lay Grass out I told him to go home hve miuutei after father got home he began to complain of pains in his bowels I said to Grass that I would get square with him Grass hit me without my saying a Bingie word to him.

ANNA BEPPEL, of No. 247 Hort street, said I saw a crowd at the time in question in front of Grass' plaoe saw a man looking for a tone the uiau tried to get into the saloon a biy waB with him I saw the man pushod out of the saloon; he did not fall then; he stood a while and then fell the man looked excited heard him say ho would give it to Grass. HliNllY FP.IETZEK, of No. 201 Maujer street, was next examlnod. lie said I was at the saloon when the trouble occurred; there was loud talking about a debt of $3.76 which deceased denied owing; deceased called Grass names; Grass threatened it put deceaKed out, and the latter dared him to do it; the boy struck at Grass, and Grass slapped him with his open hand Seoly demauded beer frequently, and was refused; Grass took hold of them both to put them out.

first opening the door a tussle took place, doceasod and his eon repeatedly striking Oraes on the head with their fists after he wa ejected deceased pushed the door in two or three times, and once oame In; he was ejected a second time; did not see Grass kick doceasod he conld not have done so without my seeing him; I am acquainted with Grass, and sell him liquors and wines; two persons helped Mr. Grass to put Soely out; Grass did not strike deceased at all; doceated seemed to be under the influence of liquor. N. A. BALDWIN, M.

made tho following statement I saw deceased first at A 20th inst; he waa Buffering pain in the abdomen over the bowele he had vomited I diagnosed Ills disease as peritonitis he was conscious to time of death whioh took place November 23 he told me ho had been kicked by Mr. rasa three times, and gave me to Infer he waa kicked in the abdomen I examiued the abdomen and found uo oxterual bruise I found a rupture and supposed it was a recent one; I could not determine when I first saw deceased how long peritonitis had existed but it was acute aud oould not have existed many houra tbe blow in this caso would be the exciting and hernia tho prodisposing oauae. A. W. 8ITEPABD, M.

who mad tho post mortem, said I found an abrasion of the nose and a contusion of left eye; opened tho abdomen aad found the perltontal cavity flllad with scrum and recent lymph a contusion of the small intestine had occurred about six inches from its junoture with the large Intestine an old adherent rupture was found tn the upper portion of the left inqulnal canal in my opinion death resulted from acute pertonltls following the violence applied a severe strain or wrestling would not have accounted for the contusion, softening And perforation of the small intestine there was no external mark on abdominal wall there was fatty degeneration and I judge from that that he was addlotad Co over stimulation.

Important Improvements Contemplated. A Sketch of the Long Island Railroads. YiOTTS of Austin Corbin, the Hon. Henry C. Murphy, E.

B. HInsdalo and Drexel, Morgan Co. The controlling interest in the Long Island Itailroad was yesterday sold to a syndicate of Boston capitalists, at the bead of whioh is Mr. Austin Corbin, well known both as a finauoier and as President of the Manhattan Beach Railroad and Improvement Compa ny. The purchase was made from Drexel, Morgan who became tho owners of the railroad through the insolvency of Conrad Poppenhusen.

The fact of the sale to Mr. Corbin seta at rest the speculation relative to tha Vanderbllt negotiations for the road with the view of making Moutauk Point a great European groin shipping centre. Mr. Poppenhusen became a railroad man through his large interest iu real estate In Flushing and Collego Point. He was very wealthy, and, wanting something for bis sons to do, launohed them as railroad hinnagors Unfortunately for him and themselves, they did not succeed," probably because they had not been aeous tomed to railroad business.

They revolntionized the North Shore and Flushing line by a lavish ex penditure of money for a new roadbed, elegant cars and poworf ul locomot Ives but they 6Ta3e no' monoy. There was associated with Mr. Pop penhusen Mr. Orange Judd, who soon retired with profit. Mr.

Poppsnh usen was said to virtually own the rood. It was extended to College Point and White stone. About this time ths lata A. T. Stewart wanted a railroad to Garden city.

Oliver Charlick told him that whou ho saw a prospect of business for a railroad he would consider tho extension of the Long Island Ball road. Mr. Poppenhusen and Mr. Stewart, however, oon cams to terms. Mr.

Foppenhusen owned the road to Flushing, aud Mr. Stewart extended It to Gar. den City at his own expense. Mr. Poppenhusen began where Mr.

Stewart stopped, and oarriod the road to Babylon. Mr. Stewart leased his road to Mr. Poppen buses. It never paid, and Mr.

Poppenhusen left It a loser of $300,000. The extension of the road to Babylon brought it Into competition with the South Side Hall road, and a year or bo later the latter company, having fallen Into new hands, became bankrupt aud was purchased by Mr. Poppenhusen. Ho continued to run tho two roads to the same point and at a loss. Olivor Charlick bad oreated an opposition line to Flushing and carried passengers for twelve oents, while Mr.

Pop penhusen charged twenty. Tho faro had been twenty five, and the road was prosperous, Mr. Charliok was strlckon with a fatal illness, and Mr. Henry Havemeyer, Bon of the late Mayor of Now York, became proBidcnt. He made the Flashing opposition livelier still by reducing the fare to eight cents.

Three fourths of tho Flushlug people did their trading in New Vork, and the local merchants said they wero being ruined. Mr, Havemeyer laughed at them. Mr. Poppsnhusen's road, by his own showing, lost $200,000 in a single year as the result of this competition, THE LOSS OF HALF A MILLION did not dishearten the Poppenhusens. The senior of tho house floated the securities in Germany, and an in creased business encouraged them.

Their one great aim was to crush the Flushing opposition Una. While they wero figuring to accomplish this, a new dangor threatened them. Mr. Havemeyer ran a line for a branoh of the Long Island road from a point west of Deer Park to Babylon and the Fire Island steamboat dook. Thia bronght about very speedily what Mr, Havemeyer had hoped for, aud what the MeBBre, Pop penhusen to possess, control of all the railroads.

The controlling interest in tha Long Island Railroad was sold to them at seventy, fourteen per cent, more than the stoek had ever been worth, and Mr. Havemeyer made out of tho transaction tho respectable fortune of $100,000. He sold all of the interest of his brother, and he, on the ground that It was without his consent, brought a salt to recover $30,000, but failed. The op position line to Flushing was soon abolished. Tho rails were used in mending the Southern road.

With the whole railroad" interest of the Island in tholr control, tha Messrs. Poppenhusen inaugurated an era of reform and improvement, which was rewarded with a marked Increase of business. But they had planned injudiciously and undertaken to accomplish impossibilities. They relald mllea of the main road with steel rails, bought powerful locomotives and improved cars and tried the experiment of running parlor oars. For the'flrst time Long Island had something in tbe way of a railroad worth boasting of, but with it all came financial embarrassment.

Notes went to protest, and the Interest on the bonds was unpaid. The Long Island Ballroad company had leased all of the other roads at rulnons rentals, and oould not pay. Thus crippled, tho bonds and stocks, representing a controlling interest, were hypothecated with Drexel, Morgan Co. The senior Poppenhusen's reliance upon German capital brought iittlo but disappointment. Ills private estate, and that of his sons, was mortgaged, and yet he kept going down the hill.

THOMAS B. SHARP was called from the Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad to the Presidency of tho Long Island Railroad, st the suggestion of Mr. Drexel. Hie administration was brief. When Oliver Charlick built tho Sag Harbor railroad he got into litigation with a contractor named Mulry The amount involved exceeded $50,000.

Charlick wa beaten at every Btep, and lastly In tbe Court of Appeals Tho judgment was for moro than $60,000, and Mulry, failing to collect it through the sheriff, assigned it to a man named Lichteneteln, who In turn assigned It to James Hood Wright, of the firm of Drexel, Morgan and in October, 1877, at the term of the Supreme Court then being held In Blverhead, Suffolk County, Judge Gilbert, on the application of Mr. Wright, appointed Thomas K. Sharp receiver of the Long Island Railroad. Subsequently Conrad Poppenhusen obtained judgments against the Southern Company for $374,000, and the Flushing, North Shore and Central Company for $410,000, in both cases for money loaned. He nevor received a cent of this and went Into bankruptcy with liabilities of nearly a million of dollars.

It was through the wondorf ully progressive spirit of the Poppenhusens that tho Atlantic avenue line of railroad was built as it at present exists, from Flatbueh avouue to Jamaica, placing Brooklyn in direct communication with erery section of Long Island, and bringing into the city trade to tho extont of HALF A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR. This road oost $450,000. Prior to tho Poppenhusen management, tbe Long Island Railroad had paid, and the last year but one of Oliver Cuarlick'a management, paid a dividend. Charlick was ambitious of controlling the rallroadB of the Island. Ho often boasted that he would own the South Side Railroad.

His health, howover, destroyed these hopes almost at the moment when, If well, he could have grasped thorn. The Pop peuhusens saddled the prosperous Long Island road with all of the debts of the other roads, whioh aggro gregated $11,000,000, an average of about $100,000 a mile. This, added to the debt of the Long Island Railroad of $1,300,000, increased its bonded burden to near $12,500,000. Botweon April and Ootober the floating debt Increased to 1.500.000, for the payment of all of which the Long Island Railroad was pledged. When Mr.

Sharp was appointed receiver tho interest on the $000,000 bonds of ths Port Jofferson Railroad, aud $500,000 of bonds on the Central Railroad, waa unpaid. The indebtedness of the road at that time was estimated to be as follows Bonded debt on branoh roads Bonded debt Jxhik Island Road Floating indebtedness Drovel.

Last year tbe Southern Railroad and the New York and Uockaway Railroad wero Bold under foreclosure and purchased by Mr. Fabbri for Drexel, Morgan Co. The business of the roads waB very large this year, and a director of tbe reconstructed Southern Road said yesterday that It would pay a three per cent, dividend this year.

Tho mortgago on tho North Shore and Flushing Boad having been foreclosed, it was to have been sold yesterday, but was adjourned. THE PRICE PAID BY MB. OOBDIN for the Drexel Morgan Interest oould not bo ascertained, but a gentleman who participated in the negotiation said that the Droxel firm had made a good thing out of it. Precisely how far they were Involved not known, but it was undoubtedly a largo sum. Mr.

Corbin owns an elegant Summer seat at Babylon. Only few years ago he gave somo attention to a project for the construction of a narrow gauge railroad from East New York to Babylon, to run as close as posslblo to tho south shore, and to have a wostern termlnuB at Green point, running over tho Manhattan Beach Boad. Mr. Barton and Mr. Sully spent considerable time on the matter, but it finally fell through.

The wonderfully Increased popularity of Long Island a Summer resort; mado It necessary to Increase the facilities of travel, and repair the roads to make it safo, that the outlay has been enormous. The rooelver found It necessary to dispose of the Hockaway business tbe Jamaica Bay Oompany when Long Beaoh was established, and even then the carrying capaolty of all the roads combined was hardly equal to the Sunday demand. To be prepared for the business of 1881, the receiver not long ago made a contract for ton new locomotives and sixty passenger coaches. He arranged to relay the Montauk branoh with new rails, and to erect buildings at Jamaica for the accommodation of tbe office business of all the roads. The Great Neck branch of the North Shore road was to be put In thorough shape, which Is much needed, when a receiver was ap pointed who disagreed with Mr.

Sharp, and after today all trains over that branch will be abandoned. There are a great many wealthy people living along the line who do business In New York, and they will be seriously discommoded. It is said that tho receiver will run a dummy from Flushing In conneotlon with the North Shore trains, but that will bo a poor shift, and wholly unreliable In case of storm.

Dr, Farley. Tho taxes of 1880 will be due to morrow, Owing to the admirable plan odopted by Collootor Ton ner of sending bills to taxpayers and receiving the amounts in return, he will be enabled to deposit with tho City Treasurer at tha close of office hours te mor.

row about a million and a half of dollars, which will be the largest amount ever deposited on tbe first day of payment. Parties who hare sent money to the Collector will receive tbelr receipted bills after to morrow. Mr. Tanner's plan has worked more succesaully than In any year since he has pursued it. He will continue to receive applications for bills and payments, in the same manner for perhaps a month yet.

By expending a few cents for postage stamps to secure the return of bills, a taxpayer will pay less than car fare to and from the Collector's office. In consequence of this method, the attendance of taxpayers to morrow will be much smaller than it has usually boon on a first day. Mr. Tanner has received letters from many taxpayers thanking him for saving them trouble In the payment of tholr bills. Rev.

Mr. Farley wrote as follows 130 Pacific Street. James Tanner, Collector, My Deah Sia As an aged citizen I deBire to thank and commend you for the excellent arrangement you have mode for getting and paying our tax bills. At more than 80 years of age, you may believe how glad I am to avail myself of tha mail, and sincerely hope to have the privilege for tho remnant of life that re mains to me. very truly and respectfully, Fiikd'k A.

FAHi.Br. Mr. Tanner gives notios that applicants for bills must give tho ward, block and lot numbers of their property only, and it makes no difference whether the property is in their name or not, so long as these numbers are correct. Corrections as to names will be made at the Assessors' office, and at no other place. Arrears are payable at the office of the Registrar of Arreaim.

The total tax levy this year, Including an Installment of $33,558.79 for Prospect Park and other special im provements, Is $8,723,255.37. Rebate at the rate of seven and three tenths per cent, per annum will be al lowed on payments made during the month of Deoem ber. On and after the 1st of January, 1881, interest at the rate of nine per cent, per annum will be added, to he computed from date of confirmation to date of pay. ment. The average rate of taxation is slightly over that of last year.

It will be noticed that the rates for the Eastern Distrist wards are lower than those of the Western District. This la owing to the fact that that section of the oity does not pay, and nsver has paid, for Prospect Park, although a large proportion of the visitors to tho Park come from the Eastern District, one of its main thoroughfares, Bedford avenue, leading almost directly to the Park.
