Tiifany ds Co., insurance agents, on the charge of at- tempted arson, ihe circumstances which led to the making of the charge belng thatho had been tearing up some of the books of lis em- ployers, and apparently bullding tires over the flour with tho loose pages. ‘fhe matter camo up for hearing yesterday ‘before Justice Sum- mertiekd, and resulted in the discharge of Mr, Ford) on that charge, though lie ‘was fined for carrying concealed wenpons. ‘The testimony in the ease, which was cone into at great fength, showed conclu slyely that Ford, who was the bookkeeper for H. 8. Tiffany & Co., was atthe office in the evening making up hfs trial balance; that he went out and took a drink, and then resumed is labors; that ho then took another drink, aud then ‘another, until ho got fearfully and wonderfully drank and utterly fznorant of what ho was doing. ‘The prestimntion is that he got angry with the books, which would not balance, and set to work building Uttle bontires, tearing up these obnoxtona documents. It ex- cited some surprise at the thme the arrest was made that Mr. H, 8. Tfany sould have gone bail for him, wid ‘should “haye considered the matter a triffing one. ‘The examination slows, however, that Mr. Tiffany was perfectly justi- fed in all that he did, and that’ he knew then that it was nothing but o little spree on the art of his clerk. Mention was alsomade at the ime of a sult pending between Mr, Tiffany and an insurance compauy.' ‘The books on whieh Mr. Ford vented his rago had nothing whatoyer to do withthe auit.

THE MAYOR AND THD APPROPRIATION BILL, A reporter asked Mayor Heath yesterday whether he had examloet the Appropriation bili, aud whether, if be had, he intended to ap- rove all itcontained, ‘The Mayor sald that le hadn't examined the bil}, but- had directed a copy to be nade, and shonld soon took through: it very closely, Ins general way ould eny that he thought the bill was altogether too large. ‘There was ‘no reason why more inoney: should be appropriated for 1870 than for 1558, Nor was there, so far na lie had been able to sec, any Imperative. call for apy new improvements. As . things were now, it was certalnly unwiso ‘to expend = any more money ‘than .was:. absolutely needed. Rents were Jow ant taxes dich, and people felt the burden of taxpaylug more than ever be- fore, Last year, exclusive ofsthe tnterest on the bonded indebtedness, the city puld out ouly about $1,000,000, and that amount certainly ought {to run things this years In reply to a queation whether ha thought be might yeto any particular item in the bill, the Mayor sald it was too soon to tell, but if he could cut the appro- priations down be would. The streets, he thought, bad been properly cared for last year, for ho had heard no complaints on the subject, and, if the work could he done’ as cheaply now, thero was no need of making an Inerease) apprapriation far the purpose, It was his opinfon, tan, that vinducty, and such like improvements, which wero not hnpovatlsaly necessary, anid which could go over for another year, should be Postponed; but it was impossible for lim to say what he would do until be had studled over the bi, As rerarded tas, he thought the Councll bad done right in putting inthe amount origl- nally reported by thy Finance Committec, for, afnce the use of fas had not been abandoned, enourh jnuney. should he appropriated to pay for gas if used during the year, und not repeat the blunder of making a contract for any article at an expense greater than was provided for In the appropriation bit, THE NEW NUILDING, ‘The work of commencing the setting of stone on the new City-Hull has been delayed by a dis- agreement between the contractors, ‘omlinson, ds Heed, and the stone-cutters. ‘The Bedford Company is sending forward the stone from its quarries with all proper speed, and there are at preaunt 10,000 feet ut ‘Tomlinson & Kead's yards n this city. But the stonc-cutters are demand ing $2.50 for a day'a work of eight hours, while the employes ure willing to pive $2.50 for nday'’s work of ten hours, How tong this hitch will continue it is impossible to toll, ‘Lhe contract ors have some cut-stone op hand, und could be- gin operations to-morrow if they chose; but Uiey dov't care about running the risk of start- ing’ ta on the work, and then having to quit whon they run out of stone.
