Badimore Amertoan, Precinet, Whether “Tom” may not find it conve- nient to follow the example of Logan, when he finds that his pursuers have exhausted their strength and Whatever little brams they had when they estab- lished the hunt for him, ts a question which a few days will determine. A NBW TRAIL. During all the search for “Tom” the regular head- quarters detectives have not been specially detailed in the pursuit—at least, if they have been, they have all along been wiser than the stupid ‘‘ward specials” in keeping their own counsel and steering clear of the reporters. Two of them, however, have under- taken to work up the case, probably withont any special orders, and if their good record in the past can be taken as @ guarantee that they intend to fol- low up the matter without regard to cost or labor “Tom? will. certainly have a very hard time of it to keep ont of their clutches. Whether the fact may have anything ta do with the plans of these two de- tectives or not, it may not be out of plaee to here state that one of them paid a visit to Blackwell's Island at an early hour yesterday morning, where he had a long interview with a convict who formerly lived in the Eighth ward and who has been spending several months in durence vile for attempting one evening to beat his.most intimate friend’s eyes out. ‘This man is & very Notorious character, and has, in his day, been mixed up in a great many little ‘jobs’ in which the Nineteenth street gang were profitable participators. He is as well known to the police as he is thoronghly acquainted with the various bad characters about town who, the police have rea- son to believe, knows great deal about the mur- derer of Mr. Rogers and where he is to be found. It is saia that the two detectives above alluded to, after the visit to the Penitentiary, proceeded together to Jersey City and had a consultation with a “gentleman of leisure’? of that foreign town In the presence of a Jersey official. Whether or not the Blackwell's Island convict gave any information which led the oMcers to this con- sultation has not as yet been ascertained; but from the mysterious way in which the two detectives have acted in the matter it is supposed that they have struck a new trail, which may wnrn the tables on the ward speciails—as far as getting all the credit for the arrest of the alleged murderer is concerned. One of the officers has in his possession a photograph of a man who is known to have been in times past a boon companion of James Logan, of Twenty-seventh strect, and who seen roaming about the city as late as the 30th of last December. When last seen he was in Mercer street, in the Fifteenth precinct. Since the day of the murder, the 3ist of December, this in- Seine ance tenia tae notw! all the have failed to find his whereabouts. His given ‘namo is “Tom,” but he is not the same “Tom? who es- from Sing Sing, and in search of whom the men are actively exerting them- selves. So it will be seen that the plans laid for the the murderer “Tom"’ will be as fae apne for the capture case several James Were overhauled, and in the second tt may be quite possible that all the ‘Toms,” with a certain surname, will be gobbled up before the close of the ‘HY THE POLIOR NAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. they undertake do not accom- z \—that when the police do their very to fina a criminal, and withal are una- they censured for not doing an impossibility; yet any per- sou who has caretully watched the movements of the police in their search after the murderer of Mr. and who may have had opportunities for observing them that the general public has not had, cannot have failed’ to have been struck with the four or five men, and these not renowned for any x imary detective ability. Now, the murder, is welt known, occurred tn the Fifteen’ other precincts, by Mayor Hall, have once ina while exerted themselves in the matter, but always with the one infallible result—getting hold of an innocent man. All they have appeared to desire has been to get their names before the public as wonderful Hawk- shaws in search of something very mysterious whether they had the slightest chance of stumbling upon the mysterious something or not. Ifan arrest was necessary to make their names all the more prominent, they have never been ata to find some unfortunate individual with a bad character and no friends whom — they could lock op in a station house for a few daye, and then when the public had forgotten ail jut him, let him go his way where he would. Stil here has been as yet no such thing as co-operation among all the police, or rather the Fy jal detectives, in regard to the case, The fact of the matter is that at the bottom of the whole thing there Ites a species of partisan jealousy that has always prevented the men of one precinct from working hand in hend with the common end in view. This feeting has not been at all times confined to the ward speciaia, but has more than once on important oceasions crept into the ranks of the regular detectives iched to the Central office, It seldom fails to thwart any gen- eral plan that Superintendent Kennedy or Captain Young may happen to me for the detection’ of a minal, and in the Rogers case has undoubtedly had a great deal do with the want of snecess of forco in their search for the marderer, Until aremedy be applied to the evil the same efforts that have already been made Will continue to be made with the same unprofitable result that has attended every exertion mace go far to get hold of the criminal. THR PRISONERS ARRESTED. ‘There are now in the Mercer street station some atx prisoners, including Tallant and James Logan, who have been from time to time on sus- picton of having been concerned in some Way or other with the murder.

This avenue, a8 is well known, commences at Twenty-first street and rans between Third and Fourth avenues to Sixty-third street. The lower portion, from its commencement to about Forty-second street, is built over in every part, but above Forty-second street the houses are not so thick, although buildings are going up on every side. From this point to the end of the avenue are to be found some of the finest houses upon it, most of them being of brown stone, and those now in course of ereetion are also ofa very fine character. In the lower portion are some very noble houses also some which are not above the ordinary, and brick fronts being more common than brown ‘stone. Stores also exist, several of which do business in whiskey, fasel oil and tannin, and others belong to the corner grocery species, The avenue is, however, inhab- ited by substantial people, who are well known in business circles down town. Carriages and teams are owned by many of the householders, and some of the residences have very commodious and elegant stables attached. Door plates are not much affected on the avenue, 80 that it is diMcultfor passers to ascertain the names of the persons living in the various houses, and on this account it will be interesting to our readers to know who are the residents and where they tive.
