Etforts ‘are being made to recover a portion of the stolen THE EIGHTH WARD GANG AGAIN. A Stolen Overcoat Recovered Under Peculiar Circamstances, On the 15th of January last, some thief of pleasing address and possessing an unparalleled amount of impudence, entered the basement door of Mr. H. B. Wells’ residence, No, 31 West Tuirty-ninth street, during the afternoon, and, ascending to the hallway, “pipped” all the clothing upon the hat rack, among the articles being several valuable overcoats. The audacity of the villain 80 exasperated Mr. Wells that, using the little clue he had of the thiefs appearance, he made extraordinary efforts to ferret him out, but it was all in vain, and the search was discontinued, being deemed fruitless. He has, however, by an accident, recov- ered his property, and is inclined to believe suc. ceeded in effecting the sneak thief's arrest. It hap- pened tm this wise:—Mr. Wells, accompanied by a colored servant, while on a Broadway car yesterday morning, observed an individual descending the steps of house No. 111 Wooster when the servant zed that the overcoat be had on closely resembled-one of those stolen from his em- ployer. He at once him, when an officer was called and the party was arrested, Eighth precinct station house Mr. fully convinced that the overcoat waa his, and stolen as referred to, The arrested person gave his name as Jacob Meyerherfe, and assured the om. cer that the garment was purohased by him of one Frederick Rermith, a barber, also living on Woester street. Ina lew minutes tho latter individual was also in custody, and upon int stated that the coat was bought by Wn Irving, a barkeeper, at the corner of Prince and Mercer atreeta, the readezvous of the ‘‘Aliem gang.’’ Irving was soon added to the arrested individuals and tho trio marched to the Jotferson Market Police Court, beiore Justice Dodge, when @ charge of lar- ceuy. was preferred against them. Irving admitted that he old the coat to Rer- mith, end endeavored to explain how ho came into possession of it by telling the Court the very “thin” story that lt had been “eit at the place where he was working for drinks.” The accused were committed to await an examimation (a favorate mode of the Eighth ward boys to their Uials for felonies) in default of $1,500 each, STEAMBOAT ACCIDENT. Yesterday morning, at a quarter to eight o'clock, while tie steamboat Nelly White was making a land- ing at Astoria on her down trip from Harlem she struck amidghips against the dock with such force asto Lote yd upper Work and do considerapie damage to mounting in all to about $1,000, One man was sightly injured, An attempt "was mode to run the boat down to @ dry dock on the East river, but the eaptain was obliged to ran in shore at Seventeenth airest, to prevent her sinking. THE POLICE INBROSLIO. The Case of Captain Young—The Board Will Net Accept His Resignation—Charges to be Preferred—The Superintendent's Antics Oon- sidered. ‘The Board of Police Commissioners held a special session yesterday to consider the acts of alleged in- subordination on the part of Captain John 8, Young, Chief of Detectives, in nos complying with its order to account for all moneys received by him in the way of rewards since January 1, and the action of Super- intendent Kennedy in adjourning the police trials on Wednesday without consulting the Commissioners, Captain Young sent in the following letter of resig- nation:— OFFIOR OF SUPERINTENDENT OF METROPOLITAN; PoLt0x, 80) MULBERRY STREET, NEW \0R<, March 15, 1389. To THE HONORABLE THE COMMIKSIONERS OF METEO- LITAN POLLO >— GENTLEMEN—1 he spirit and letter of a recent order from your ey fs so unusual and unprecedented as to ‘convince me that the re.ations and confidence which should eaist between the Board and the captain of detective force ‘and which I am proud to remember bas al ways, a0 far, been iriendly and ), must be in the future impaired. 1 there‘ oi to be relieved as Captain with great respect, detective forve, and of cuareh oie to include my withdrawal from the force by here.y resigning as % meuber thereof. ‘aly yor GUNS. YOUNG, Captain of Detective Police. Some discussion followed, when the following pre- amble and resolutions were unanimously adopted:— Whereas, This Board by resolution adopted on the 9th day of Match, 1869, requesied Captain John B. Young, of the Metropolitan Police, to report without delay to this Board ‘the amounts that he has received for police services, either ag & reward or otherwise, othor than his saiary, since ‘the ist of Junuary, 126%, the amount of each sum so seceived and the date of the recetpt of the same. Also whether he has comy municated to the Board the fact of the receipt of all the said moneys 60 hers i the has then that he or sums 40 received, receiving which had not beea communicated by him to the Board; and that he immediately pay to the Board ail the moneys so re- ceived by him except such moneys as the Board, by Its order has authorized him to rewain, to be disposed of ‘by the Board ae law and justice may require; and aiso that he report the facts of each case in respect to which money has been paid to him for police services during the time covered by this re- mcluding the names of each person, party pr cor- jon who hi to him moneys as aforesaid, and the ich person, party or eorporation, ohn 8. Young hus wholly fatied and omitted to make the report required by the said resolution, and justead thereof has sent to this isoard his resi dated March 15, 1889, and reeeived by the Board now, therefore, it Kesoived, ‘Tat this Board does not accept the said resigna- tion, and will not permit the said John 8. Young to resign so Jong 4s he shall persist in revusing to furnish the information and perform the duties which sald resolution statute in each such made and provided, require him to furnish and torm, Pehesolvud, That the chief clerk fs hereby requested to prefer charges against said John 8. Young for neglect of duty and dis- Obedience of orders, in not making a report in obedience to said resolution, and for having received since January 1, 1869, money for police services, without giving notice to this Board of the receipt thereof. This covers the action tn the case of Captain Young, and as itis not customary to try officers of the force after they have tendered their resigna- tions, and it is probable that,the late chief of detect- ives ‘will laugh at the summons to appear before the Board, and allow his case to go by deiault, There 1s, however, much speculation indulged in as to what course the Board will pursue in that event. It ig claimed that according to the rules and the cus- tom from time immemorial the moment an officer tenders his resignation his connection with the or- ganization ceases, and that he cannot be put on triai after his resignat.on is in the hands of the chiet clerk. At the present time the detective force receive their instructions direct from inspector Dilks or the clerk of the force; but those who profess to know, ‘assert that one of. the force will be made a sergeant and temporarily appointed to the command, For permanent chief a number of names have been men- tioned; but as itis known that Captain Jourdan, of the Sixth precinct, will not accept if tendered the position, the mantle of Captain Young is likely to Jali upon inspector Walling or detective Jobn Coyle, ‘The latter, perhaps, wou! approach the nearest in el ion, ia clay, fillumg the vacant:chair, looking at m an aver. dupoise ere eof view; but for det ability and eral fitness for the place, all wat Mr. ‘ailing 18 the most available man, modern Vidocq 1s imported at great expense for Wie occasion. Some conversation was had in the Roard regard- ing the Superintendent’s case. Mr. Brentian com- pales that the Superintendent had unwarrantably interfered and adjourned the trials without au- thority, One of the Commissioners suggested that before action was taken in the premises a copy of the order should be produced, as well as the past rules and resoiutions of the Board examined, to see whether the superintendent in bis action “had taken shelter behind some old order or resolution that had never been rescinded. The Board consequently de- ferred the further consideration of the subject, and as Mr. Brennan bas recovered somewhat from his indignauon, it is possibie that King John may escape further annoyance until he makes another boider encroachment upon the functions of his superiors.

THE PIG YARDS OF THE CITY. Examination Before the Board of Health—A Witness Smells Sheep and is Renewed in fledy—Horseshoes and Seaweed as Food. In February last the inspectors of the Board of Health reported that between West Thirty-ninth and Forty-first streets, west of Eleventh avenue, Mesers. Anthon, Dutcher & Moore were in the habit of herd- ing immense numbers of swine that perfumed the entire neighborhood and caused the air to reek with foul smells. On the ist of March an order was issued for the abatement of the nuisance, and the firm was ordered not to renew the ‘business without @ permit from the Board. The de- fendants asked for a hearing before referee Seth C. Howley, which was granted, and yesterday a ses sion was had for the taking of evidence. The de- with thetrcounsel, Mr. R.

Yesterday’s Operations—Havoc Among Pests Bricks and Rubbish. A portion of the men employed to remove obstrac- tions from the sidewalks and carriage ways of the city, under the orders of the Mayor and Street Com- mussioner, yesterday recommenced their operations, ‘which had been temporarily interrupted by the fes- tivities of St, Patrick's Day. A force of seven men, consisting of three attachés of the Street Commissioner's Department and four carpenters, provided with eaws, spades and axes, Pro- ceeded up Broadway to Thirty-fourth street, followed by a huge biue lumber wagon, intended to receive such obstructions of a portable nature as refractory proprietors might refuse to remove. Some havoc was made among posts and signs in the vicinity of Wood's Museum, but no opposition was met with. Flagstaffs, barbers’ poles, awning posts, banners, hanging signs and other obstructions on the side- walk of Broadway, below Thirty-fourth street, have rapidly Ginappeaced. People owning these tmpedi- nents perceive a determination on tne part of the Street Commissioner to enforce obedience, and now ip most cases quieily remove them on being notified, Since last Tuesday 230 notices have been served. ‘foe owner of ap obstruction is always personally served with twenty-four hours’ notice to remove it, i he can be found; if not, the notice 18 put on the objectionable article. Where the 0 ction is bulky and not easily moved the time allowed by the notice 18 frequently extended. Men have been sent to tne foot of Morton street, on the Nortu river, between Washington and Weat streets, to ciear the pavement in front of a large pork packing establishment of a large number of barrels of pork and beef which bieck up the sidewalk. It is alleged that the firm to whom they belong have been, notified to remove them, but refused or negiected to do so. It is the intention of the Street Commissioner to bring suit against ail persons who — unnecessarily impede the carriage way with bricks, mortar or Other rub- bish, if afver due notice they do not remove them, Permits are granted to place building matemals on the carriage way in front of buiidings to be repaired or in process of erection, but they will not, itis stated, in future be allowed to'remain longer than Leper necessary. ‘The space to be thus occupied Ke bul ing materials must not be more than two-thirds of the carriage be in width, ten feet in height and twenty-tive feet In length, and the gutter and sulc- Walk in their vicinity must be kept clean and unen- cumbered tor two Weeks, unless sooner direcie] by the Commissioners to remove the same. Persons accepting these permits become respousible tor all damuge vy reason of carelessness or accident. ‘The proprietor of a formidabie pile of bricks and rubbish im West Forty-eighth street, between Sixth and Seventh avenues, was lal notified to have it taken away, but refused, He was summoned to appear and auswer before Judge Keviin, of the Sec- ond District Court, before whom the case is stil pending. It is announced that every portion of the city will receive attention trom the Commissioner and his assistants, aod that after the signs, posts, awnings and similar impediments have been re- moved, @ determined onslaught is to be made on the peanut, appie and refreshment stands, which will receive no quarter upon refusui to surrender.
