Important Warning to the Force—Per sistent Neglect of Dut} to Cause Dismissal—One Example. - Commissioner Bosworth yesterday heard about thirty complaints against officers of the police force for various offences, Before calling on the trials he addressed the force present as follows:— 1 deem it proper to state here that the Commis- sioners pave noted with regret that the number of complaints.against oMcers of the force for being off post, failing to report promptly and neglect of duty generally 18 on the increase, As a check the Board Propose hereafter to inflict very heavy fines in all cases where the charges are substan- tiated—indeed, to second the highest punishment the law permits. If that action is not found to be effectual in reducing fhe complaints they wili follow up the matter by prompt dismis: We inust have better iia line, aud we are determined to act promptly hat end. At the conclusion of this declaration the cases were cajled on, and the Commissioner sustained his Qeolaration iy eer fines of two, three and five ay for being 0! , and a more serious cases folerred them to the Board for its actton. The ae case of oe interest was that of om- cor William Under’ , Of the Forty-first yo) charged with intoxication while on post.

Fiftieth Annual Conveation—Third Day—The Question of Purishes and Priesthood Avoided—Missionary Work—Demand for More Funde—Evening Enjoyment. The Convention reassembled at ten o'clock yesterday morning. After the usual devotional exercises and the reading of the minutes several reports of committecs were presented, of which the only important and interesting onamewas @ report of the Committee on Kcciesiastical Affairs on the subject of the withdrawal of the authority to oMciate from Rev. Joshua T. Eaton on account of his heretieal Spiritualistic opmions, by the presiding minister 01 Massachusetts, The com- mittee asked for time toexamine into the matter, and this was granted them until the meetiag of the next Convention, thus putting off one of the troublesome subjects which agitated the minds of the present Convention. Onamotion of Mr. satan T. WILLIAMS, of New York, proposing to change the mode of electing of- ficers, quite a debate arose, anu the mater was finally re.erred to a speciat committee of three, to re- port nex’ year. The Chair named the committee as jollows:—Mr. Williams, of Ohio; Mr. Wiliams, of New York, and Kev. Mr. Reel, of Massachusetts. On motion of Mr. JaAMes, of Ohio, tne preamble and resoiutions of Mr, Hitchcock and the substitute of Mr. J. ©. Ager were taken from the table and the discussion reopened, which, however, was inter- rupted by Mr. WiLttAMs, of New York, moving to have a committee appointed to nominate oillcers of the Convention for the ensuing year, which was car- nied, ‘The discussion then proceeded, Both the substituce of Mr. Church and the amendment ot Dr. ERALD of yesterday) were withdrawn, and R immediately Moved his resolution as a Jor the original motion, As this seems to it question with the Convention the mo- .

About this point Mr. James grew rather warm speaking of the necessity of warning ministers from trying to build up a dynasty within the Church, to which he would never consent. Mr. Lorine (with emphasis).—I think it very foolish for any man to say that tis or that he would never (lo. Mr. JAMES—lI yield for an inquiry, but not for com. ment. He continued that the Church was not made of such plant stuff; it is composed of ministers and Jaymen, and he hoped that atl wouid work harmo- niousiy together. Mr. R. D. Muzzy, of Was’ ington, believed that nis friend from Ohio was not a sturdier radical in all matters, a sturdier democrat, a sturdier congrega- tionalist than he was, but he thought the matter was about going too far, and he moved the indefinite postponement of the whoie subject. Rev. THomas Worcester informed the Convention that the Committee on Ecclesiastical Atvairs had been considering this subject and woula be ready to report next year. Mr. Perry, of Massachusetts, moved to refer the Matter to that committee, whereupon Mr. Muzzy withdrew his motion and, instead of it, moved to lay the whole subject upon the table, which was car- ried, With only three votes in the negative. And thus the Convention got over, or rather around the reef which, from the excited feelings exhibited by several delegutes this morning, ad but lite outside help to prove a wrecking rock. Tae Con- vention evidently felt relieved as if a heavy burden had been taken off its breast, since for some time after the vote, and for nearly a quarter of an hour, the chatting and hubbub of conversation was so loud and 80 general that business was entirely stopped, and it required several raps of the Presi- dent’s gavel to restore order. A good dea! of minor routine business was boars A gone over, among which 1t Was moved that 1t be left tothe committee in charge of the printing of the journal to either insert or leave out a list of all the places on this “American Hemisphere” where wor- ship is had according to the doctrines of the Swedenborgian “New Church.” During the discifs- sion of this subject Mr. Andrews, of Massachusetts, hoped that a list of Swedenborgian congregations i Turope would be included, since so many Americans now travel on the old continent that it was probable Europe might one ay be taken iz, Americans, This discussion satisfied the mover, Mr. Gerrish, and he asked to withdraw the motion, but objection was made, and an amendment was carried, that a stand- ing committee of three be appointed, by this and every succeeding convention, to ann revise the ilst referred to and see to its publication. On a report from the Execative Committee to ad- mit the Georgia society it was so ordered, and the delegate, Mr. Dunham, was received and enrolled, amid appropriate ceremonies, the president, Rev. Dr. Thomas Worcester, resuniing the chafr for that Urpose. : The time for recess naving arrived divine service was held, during which a lady was baptized, AFTERNOON SESSION. The Convention met again at half-past two P. M., and the journal of the morning’s session being read it was approved. Mr. ABIEL SILVER read the revised answer to the address of the Swedenborgian General Conference of Great Britain. It gives expression to brotherly sentiments and to hopes of fraternal co-operation, and denounces generally the tendency to rational- ism, naturalism, liberalism, modera Spiritualisin aud sensualism. A DELEGATE suggested to strike out the word “philosophical,” and the Cuam suggested that the word ‘‘sensualism” had better be omitted, and with such changes the address was adopted. Several reports of committees on subjects of no general interest were received and placed on file Without reading, and a number of special commit- tees were appointed to make the necessary arrange- ments for the next meeting of the Convention, in 1870, Rev. JAMES P. STUART moved that the address to the English Swedenborgians pe published in the journal of this year, which was adopted, Rey. Janez ‘Fox, of Washington, presented a paper detailing a plan for the formation of a society, with @ fund to succor needy church associations. He requested that it be referred to the Executive Committee, bat on suggestion he changed his mo- tion to @ special Committee of three, which was carried, Rey. SAM. DIK submitted the report of the Com- Mittee on Missions, detailing some interesting infor- mation about the individual jabors of some of their missionaries in different parts of the country aiding in the increase of the Church. Kev, CHAUNCEY GILes, of this city, sald that this missionary work was done by ministers employed by the local associations, The Convention spent not a dollar for it, If, aa had been staved in debate, the ministers are the servants of the laity, then, like the ox in oe gee they were entitied to support. The New York Association had set a good example. Where needed, they send a man and pay him to stay there, in this way they had four men employed during the last year, with good results. Thjs should liy be the case in the Southern States, from where reports to cheer the heart would soon come up. But then the Convention should supply the funds liberally, Both Messrs. HincKLeY and Dike rejoiced that this matter had been brought up, and hoped that the suggestion as to funds would be ded to in order to Mcrease and make more effective the work of the Missionary Board, which with the present approprt- ation has hardly money enough to pay for its post- “tir, HINCKLEY moved to authorize the Executive Committee to raise funds at this session to be ex- 8, ir, HITCHCOCK Said that he could not find any au- thority in the constitution, bylaws or standing orders for the existence of @ board of missions.

Mr. SCAMMON Feplied feelingls to these severe strictures and said that the best work done in this Convention was that very discussion which venti- lated varying sentiments and proved the necessty of hay more of the New Onurch and less of whe priest in it. He continued sarcastically about the “modesty of the clergy” in contradistinction of the injanetion ‘to go forth and pi the Gospel” as the work they are sent to perform. ‘The subject was further debated by other deiegates, the-zeneral com- plaint being the scarcity of the contributions of the churches for missionary purposes; in the course of ‘Unis discuss:on the practice of handing the contribu- tion box around while the organ Was playing @ caprice and other lively tunes, was warmly spoken against by several of the delegates. A motion to lay ‘the whole subject on the table,not being seconded, was not eniertained, probably because Mr. Scammon calied fer @ vote by ayes and noes on the question, an order to ascertain who was willing to thus thwart missionary work. Mr. Hinckley then withdrew his motion, and Mr. Scammon offered his proposition as an independent resolution, and debate was renewed, the main question bet the power or propriety of the Convention requiring the local churches to make collections at certaln specitied times. Some wit was displayed in this. Mr. Scammon illustrated his idea by referring to “apples”? and “oranges,” but Mr, Reed, of Boston, could’not see the “appil- cation,” Which caused some merriment. At last, afler some amendments, the resolution, as finally passed by the Convention, read as follows:— Resolved, That this Convention recommend that a colleo- tHon be taken up in each worstipping assembly of tha New Church in the United States, upon. the fitat Sunday of ¢ ery month or such other time or'meshod as they may deem suXt- able, for the miksionary uses of the General Convention, the amounts collected to be paid over to the treasurer of the Convention, to be disbursed upon the order of the Board of Missions in such parts of the country as are not provided for by associations, The Committee on Nominations reported the fol- lowing as ofticers of the Convention for the ensuing yeari— President-—Rev.

A THE LABOR MOVEMENT. jeeting of the Female Capmakers=The Women on StrikeGeneral Dissatistaction. The female capmakers, now on strike for an in- crease of wages, met yesterday at Pythagoras Hall, Canal street, to complete their organization by adopting @ constitution and bylaws and electing regular officers. There were present about seventy women aud about thirty masculine representatives of the wade, Who are also oa sirike. Miss LANNANE called the meeting to order, and stated the object for which the meeting had as- sembled. Subsequently Mr. Wolf, a capmaker, ad- dressed himself exciusively to the female portion of the meeting, his remarks being couched in a tone of decided discouragement to the movement they had lately inaugurated. The men, Mr. Woif stated, were leading them astray, and he cautioned them to avoid any alliance with them. His observations elicited a warm discussion. Mr. SCHADE and otvers replied and an earnest dis- ute ensued, the women all the time keening up a loud and exciting chattering among themselves. Finally matters began to ume @ serious aspect; the women jumped up aug clustered together; Mr. Wolf, they cried, was ht; but the men de- nounced bum vehemently and a perfect uproar filled tue rooin. At length Mr. Wolf, deeming prudence the beticr part of valor, retired. After tae adoption of a constitution and bylaws the assemblage quietly dispersed. COLLISION AT SEA, The Bark Mary A. Troop Sunk by the Stenm. ship Pennsylvania=Names of the Lost and Saved. The steamship Pennsylvania, which arrived at this port on the 16th inst, from Liverpool, came in col- liston on the 15th inst., off George's Shoals, with the bark Mary A. Troop, of St. Jolin, N. B., Captain Cain, from Ardrossan, Scotland, for this port, laden with pig iron, cutting the vessel in two, causing her to sink almost instantly, taking down with her the captain and five of the crew. Our reporter boarded the Pennsylvania on her arrival here, but no men- tion was made of the disaster whatever by any of the officers of the steamer. Mr. Join Healy, first oficer of the bark, one of the survivors, makes the following statement:~ The Mary A. Troop left Ardrossan May 13 with a cargo of 480 tons of pig iron, bound to New York.

Glorious Victories Gained by the Patriote— Details of the Perit’s Landing—Atrocious Cruelties Committed by the Spanish Troops. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, May 28, 1869, For some days a@ report has been current that an expedition had landed, which was confirmed by the arrival of asmali steamer from Mayarl, carrying a number of wounded. By these means it becano known that @ large expedition had landed on the coast near Mayari, and that an engagement had taken place with the government troops, who haa to retreat for want of ammunition, Every one un- derstood by this that the Spanish troops had been badly routed, The letters that reached us by safe hands cieared up all doubts. The Spaniards having learned that a large steamer (the Perit) was landing astrong armed torce on the coast, sent about 200 men to attack them, but these were beaten, having twenty-five men ana three officers killed and sixty or seventy wounded. The Spanish troops were dispersed and fearfully raked by grape from the guns of the patriots. The following day another attack was made by reinforcements, but they shared the same fate, losing about 200 killed and wounded. Atter the sec- ond attack Donato Marmol arrived with an addi- tional foree of 2,000 patriots, and the Spaniards fed to Mayari on bdard the government men-of-war. ‘The Spaniards are greatiy alarmed at these two vic- tories, but the patriots are 1mmensely enthusiastic. Accounts are continually coming in, and the loss of the Spaniards in the two fights mnst have been 390 men, and the victory 1s made evident by the large arrivals of wounded. The whole splendid cargo of the Peritis now safely in the hands of the liberating army, and with sueh reinforcements tt cannot fail to obtain Signal and brilliant victories. The troops landed were under command of Genera! Jor and several eiMcient officers. They are now joined by several thousand men, but will not move far from the coast at present, as other expeditions are expected. News has doubtless been received respecting the great fight at Las Tunas, in which a convoy was cap- tured; but the following detalis have now come to hand:--The Spaniards lost in killed and wounded about sixty men, one cannon and mules, 150 muskets and ninety-seven prisoners. The patriot officer who commanded this brillidnt attack was Vincente Garcia. , Who leit here with 1,500 men in micate with Valmaseda, could than the village of Palma Soriau, n leagues, having suffered great loss (tucks of tae troops under eral Felix to.

The number of nis wonn: and sick 18 siated to be fully 4. ‘This column su fered severely by the climate, owing to tue men being ly landed, but especially from the vomico, Mucn trouble arose also from the thsubordination of the men, mauy of whom were shot by Generai Bu- s orders; some accounts state this number even ch forty. Even the Spam confess to these facts, and also thatthe men are deserting, nua- bers having already joimed figueredo at Jiguany. General Gomez did not allow them one minute’s rest, put conunually harassed them, causing Much loss. At last a splendid ambuscade, led by Colonel Antonio Maceo, caused thein a loss of fourteen men and ten muskets, besides driving them some distance. Another glorious encounter. The Spanish govern. ment shipped some 400 wen to Maaiabdun for tae purpose Ol cutting off the retreat to the expedition, but the members had already joined the liverating jorces under Quesada and Maruio!, who drove them back and obliged them to re-embark in all haste, leaving a great number of dead and wounded, who were picked up by the pacrivta. Here again the Spanish troops gave evidence of their Sen a aol siues by commitung acts bloody and horrifying to ail civilized minds. Juan Gonzales, a coiored man, Was surprised by the Catalan volunteers im the fields, and made to suffer the most cruel martyrdom, recalling the acts of the middie ages. The eyes were cut out with bayo- nets, his teeth were all pulled out, his body otherwise fearfwily muulated, and then tne shivering mass was riddied with balls and bayonet thrusts, They murdered the wile and two sona of Pedro Acosta mereiy because he had joined the in- surrection. He, however, avenged his loss by sur- prising them on the road to Jiguany, killing twenty- six and wotnding many more. All the families about Jiguany and aire Who have members with jd insurgents are made to suffer Innumerabic cruel- ties, ‘The Spanish government, in order to destroy the effect of the victories ootamed by the patriots at Mayari and the landing of the expedition, has fab- ricated an illusory account, 1a Which it is stated that the expedition was routed aud all its ammunition taken. This, however, is utterly false. El Mami of May 10 publishes a circular by Ignacio Mora, which gives the he to General Vulce’s state- ment that the revolution in Cuba was ended, and as serts that Cuba is now more than ever lost to Spain. General Vincente Garcia addresges @ circular to the Spauish troops at Las Tunas calling their atten- vion to the fact that their comrades taken in battie by lus troops are still alive, and mvites them to join his ranks if they wish to avoid consequences such as were witnessed in st. Domingo, ie A Cuban Regiment Raised in Philadelphin— An Expedition to Sail from this Port To- Night. (From the Philadelphia Post, June 18.) It having been decided to raise a regiment of vol- unteefs in this city for the cause of tue revolution- ists in Cuba, the recruitmyg oflicers first established their headquarters here at a house on St. John street, near Callowhill, last week. They succeeded in ob- taining in two days fiity-seven men, all of whom were abie-bodied, and had served either in the Union or rebel army. They could have procured at least 100 in the time earaaee had they accepted every man who offered himself, but the oticers did not wish any but those who had endured the triais and privations of war, and hence refused all who were ignorant of military aa As It was etd that a regiment or a portion of aregiment should be raised here at once, in or- der to complete the expedition, the officers, Lieuten- ant Norman and Captain Brady, resolved on another pian to obtain volunteers. To accomplish their pur- pose they inserted in the columns of a newspaper an advertisement to the effect that 500 ex-soldiers were wanted at once at No. 633 Chestnut street, a public house, bet Colonel Asher M. Leidy. ‘Inia notice first appe: on Tuesday. On that day fully 300 rsons presented themselves to the oMicers, whose Beeaguarters were in a little back room on the first floor of theestablishment. The applicants were received one at a@ time, and on entering the apart- ment were confronted by the recruiting officers, who inquired whether they had served in the army. If the answer Was in the afirmative, the enlistment or discharge papers were required to be shown, If everything was satisfactory, and the applicant will- ing to enlist in the Cuban cause, his residence, age and height were record Instructions were then given to the recruits as to the tue for them to re- port, coupled with @ request to keep shady on the subject. Ths first day’s work on Chestnut street nettea over 100 men; the second day (Wednesday) another 100 was added to the list, the recruitiug oifice closing at four o'clock yesterday afternoon. A majority of the men enlisted were Americans, the remainder being principally Germans and Irish, One or two Frenchmen and a couple of Cubans were included in the total number, Nine-tenths of the mem had served in the Union army during the late war, tue remaining tenth having seen service in the Consede- rate ranks. One of the officers was an eX-sergeant of the Twelfth Virginia regiment, On Wednesday night upwards of 100 of the re- | cruits were sent by rail to New York. Yesteriay | Morning about the same number were forwarded, and last evening the resi_of the party were sent on. They were all provided free transportation to the metropolis. m arriving there they will be trans- ferred to a |i Steamslip which lies in the lower bay. They wilt be conveyed irom the city to the ves sei in @ tugboat. The Philadeiphia recralis will complete the expe- dition, which will consist of about 1,500 men, the greater part of whom were emisted in New York city. ‘Tie steamer has an ample supply of small arms, and ali the necessary outtit for cavairy and infants regiments. The uniforms are ali on board, ani when the steamer is ready for sea the clou worn by the volunteers will be thrown oif and all hauds will be rigged out in full uniforms of blue, similar to those worn by our troops. No bounty money was given any ofthe men. The only inducement offered was a free passage co Cuba and thirty-four dollars per month in gold for their services while fighting the Spanish troops. We heard several of the men say thas they anticipated a good time, and would bandsomely remuaerate them- selvea when the opportunity offered. One of the oificers who gs With the expedition, boyish- looking chp, told us that the only thing he feared ‘Was the scocc! sun, He at first doubted whether he would be able to stand the effects of it, but finally concluded that daring the war he had been exposed to as inuch heat a3 he would have to ¢ dure on the island, and could go throug! rahel He was particuiariy anxious that wis name id not appear in print, as he did not care to have his relatives and friends know that he had connected himself with the movement, not, he said that considered the cause dishonorable, but that hi friends might undertake to prevent Se ioe He ‘was firmly of the opinion t he wot be hand- somely rewarded six months passed, and as- fered, to have information that the Spanish cause ‘Was on ita last legs and that the war now going on will jast but a short time, ‘The recruiting was conducted so quietly that but was going oa few persons were aware of whi it the hovel, ‘There was no unuseal aasenb around the men whatever tn the advertisement which would att the public's attention. The authorities ciaim that they knew ni about the movement, and we doubt if they did. The recruiting was mi with shrewdness, and as the managers have suc- ceeded so weil with but little effort, they will prova- bly again try their hand here in raising another bat- talion for the Cuban cause. ‘Yae expedition will sail from New York harbor to- morrow evening, direct for some Cuvan port. On arriving there the men will be assigned to the com- 5 mand of General Jordan, who has charge of the cavalry of the revolutfousts. THE RECENT ARRESTS OF ALLEGED CUBAN SYMPATHIZERS. i New York, June 18, 1869, To Tue EDITOR OF THE HERALD :— Notwithstanding all that has been said about the venality and villainy of our oficials, and not only said but proven im many instances, the rudeness and brutality exhibited by them on Wednesday in the arrest of several Cuban gentlemen, exiled in this city, surpasses anyuing recently enacted. Without ever having established, beyond contro- Versy, that an expedition has left this port with hos- hile designs against Spain; without proof that any attempt of that character is to be made in fature, ald in the face of a resolution of sympathy for the struggling patriots in Cuba, passed by the United States Congress, endorsed, unmistakably, by the sentiment of the whole country, these officers of the law, worked upon by the vague suspicion of some hired Spanish spies, have authorized and executed the arrest of several highly respectable pentane. and that too at an hour of the day when ail could not be received, in order to gratify the malice of their enemies by compelling them to @ night within wails erected to confine felons. From the manner of arrest of Colonel Ryan on Broadway, to the extravagant radeness offered at the residence of Mr. Mora, the action ot tue oilicers was not only most unsatisfactory, but positively insoient, Will any, one contend that the United States Marsflal had right to seize privaie papers on the person of Mrs. Mora? ‘The act was altogether unwarrantable, and the whole aifair reveals tae fact that men were se- lected to make these arrests who were known to be incapable of per.orming their functions withouc acrimony and insult, and most probably incited thereto by Spanish gold. Every account from Ouba adds fresit horrors to the crimes of the Spanish government, every mail brings new enormities, heaped up to crush out the spirit of livery, but at thesame time gives fresh evidence of a determination in that spirit to conquer. The island 1s by all nations ad- mitted to be ia @ stateof revolution atleast.

Deputy United States Marshal Gregg and the Recent Amuesty, Deputy United States Marshal Gregg contradicts the statement published in yesterday’s papers that in effecting the arrests of certain alleged Cuban fill- busters jhe belaved roughly or used language that was unbecoming an oieer and a gentieman. He performed his duty witu ail the grace and euavizy of manner that the occasion would permit, and did not say anything or act im any way as alleged by some of his prisouers. THE VOICE OF 1HE PEOPLE. More Street Improvements. “A.C. R.,” after revolving Mayor Hail’s sugges- tions in his mind as to the improvement and exten- sion of certain thoroughfares of the city, submits the following:—Widen Nassau street on the west side; clear City Hall Park; take the sidewalk on each side, besides three,or four feet of ground for the roadway, and build the Post Office say about same distance from the Hali as new Court House, and take Leu of the space between the Post Ofice and City all fur a roadway or street, Extend Elm street through to Chambers street; widen Elm street its Jength on the west side; widen Howard Crosby, on east side of street, all tne way up. relieva Broadway on the west side no cars should run on Church street, but have them all—Sixth, Sevench, and Eighth avenues—run through or along Barel: street to West Broadway, on their way up, an widen Mercer, Wooster or Laurens street. Our Water Supply. A “Citizen” directs attention to the subject of the water supply in certain portions of the city and urges the adoption of such stringent measures as will prow mise an ordinary degree of immunity from the perils of conflagration to which the report of Charles H. Haswell states we are exposed. To lay new mains, as he proposes, would require much time and tncalcu- labie expense, and where thousands of millions of° property is at stake, as at present, immediate rem. edy is demanded. The first siep should be action to put asiep to the present wanton and dishonest waste of water, for by 80 doing not - would there be @ lee head of water, but also the pressure at the ydranta would be considerably augmented. After dilating on the wiliul extravagance carried on here and the vigilance exercised in other countries to pre- vent waste, “Citizen” states that our consumption already equals, if not exceeds, that of London, mak- ing the abuse most glaringly apparent. These facts ought to be suflicient to startie the community and awaken the authorities, the insurance couipauies and citizens generally to the stern necessity of im- mediate action. Truly Serious. “0. B.D.’ writes as follows:—The frequenters of the Cooper Union Reading Room experience much dimicuity and delay in consequence of the insuMicient number of HERALDS on file at that place. Most of the time there are two and sometimes three persons occupying each file of the HERALD, and often as many more eagerly awaiting their turn. At the same time the other morning jouraals are deserted. Now, if the HERALD couid be substituted in place of some o the other journals tue trouble wouid be re- moved, 1 think that most of those who read the World, Times and Tribune do so because they cannot get to the HERALD on account 01 the crowd that ts con- tinuaily around it, Where is Brown @ “Many Sufferers’ utter a very emphatic protest against the accumulation of filth and garbage on Sixth avenue, between Forty-ninth and Fiftieth streets, ‘Th y complaints have been repeatediy made to a ¢. the rl of Health, by. over filty residents of the oo block, who get the usual answer from the rd, “they will see tae Croton Department and see what can be done.” In the meantime are over 100 families to suffer the uawholesome smelis arising from this nuisance ail the summer? or from whom can they get redress, if not from tie Board of Health?

This is but another of the many Peter Funk institutions of this metropo- lis, and our country friends had better be on their guard againat them. Protection from the Railroads. “J, N. 7." has a word of censure for the Hudson River Ratiroad Company in reference to the killing of the boy Lowry by the dummy ear. He says:— «Pr saw the boy on the track immediately after the cars passed Over him, and in my opinion if the com. any exercised proper care no such death couid nave happened.
