Investigation by the Legislutive Committce= Testimony of the Superintendent of the Mudsen River Railroad. ALBANY, March 2, 1871. At the session of the joint Legislative committee ‘this afternoon to investigate the New Hamburg dis- aster, te first witness called was Isaac Toucey, Superintendent of the Hudson River Raliroad Com. pany. The witness described the condition of atfuirs when he arrived, He also handed the com- Inittee a copy of the printed insiructions to all the employés on the road. He said:—I find frequently that the ries are violated; I don't Know of any of them having been Violated in thia case; it Was not in accordance with instructions that the brakemen should be in a caboose; he had issued in November last an order for freight trains to carry bell cords; 1 think tne two brakemen who said they had not time to put on the brakes did have time; 1 thought it would take from. 1,50 to 1,800 feet distance, with all apphances in jorce and operation, io stop the train; ins train Was not stopped in that distance; a freight train, the brakemen were in their proper places, could be stopped in from 200 io 200 feet less distance than when they are not in posi- tion; the number of brakemen on this train Was two in the caboose and one @n the engine; pas- senger cars are supgiied Wilh salety chatns; freigit cars are not; if the latter had had these chains that would not have prevented tals accident; if the oll fruin had been ranning on the road ved the proba- bility 14 that the broken axle would not have thrown the train orf the track; 80, also, 1f the bridge had had @ solid flooring tne axle probably Would not have been thrown of; by flooring our bridges we add to the dangers of hring them from Jocomotive ash pans; Irom bis conversation with the freman of the ex- press train that night be was satisiied that he thought more of saving his life thay of patting on the brakes; he alo jearned that Simmons, the en- gineer, sounded ius whistle three tines befere he pubon his patent brakes, whereas his duty was to ut en the patent brakes vefore he sounded his whistle, did not think the fireman. made a proper effort to put on the brakes; these tains, if on tine, wonld have passed each other at Milton ferry, five miles from New Hain- burg; witness thought, from what he learned that night, that the train ought to have been stopped with the means at hand, #nd notice given; aia not think the ot! train conld be stopped before reaching the bridge, even if the bell cords were on the train, as required, Mr. Toucey was ou the train about three hours, Wiliam B, Horton, an engineer on the Boston and Albany Ratiroad, testified that he was on the Hud- son River Railroad in 1852; knew nothing about us accident, but was subpoenacd at Poughkeepsie io testify as to whether the oil train could have been stopped; he was of the ophuon iat the train could Dot have been stopped. Remer Van Sickland and J. A. Van Sickland (brothers), of New Hamburg, witnessed the accl- dent and related the circumstances atteriding it.

Robbery from a Bonded Carman—A Milk Wagon Innocently Inveigied Into the Case, Tate on Tuesday afternoon Mr. A, 8. Diler, a licensed and bonded carman of the Custom House, loaded one of his trucks at the wharf of the National line of steamers, pier 47 North river, with thirteen cases of goods which were to be conveyel toa bonded ‘warchouse the next morning, it then being past the hour at which those establishments close for the day. The horaes were detached trom the wagon and driven to the stable, the vehicle being left on the pier in charge of A GOVERNMENT WATCHMAN til mornmg, Bright and early the next day (Wednesday) the driver brought out his team, hitched on to the truck and drove off, having pre- viously got lus tickets for the cases, which he was to retorn signed, Passing up through Hudson strect he turned into Broome, where he met afriend, with whom he held a few moments’ conversation, fle then backed his truck up tothe sidewalk aud unloaded a case MARSED P. ©. D. and numbered 6,603, the letters P. and ©, being sur- rougded by a diamond. Ta@ carman then drove off at a lively gait, leaving his friend in charge of the case. About five minutes later a milk wagon, driven by a man named Moritz Stenenor, came up the street, The Man with tbe ease asked him to take the package to a pawn;shop, No. 48 Carmine sireet, Kept by Simon Cramer, promising to pay him two dollars. Stenenor agreed to do It, Arrived at tne pawn shop he unloaded the case, Which was at once taken in through a door over which the tbree glittering balls were suspended, re- ceived the reward for his services, as promised, and drove ol ayain. ‘Late in the afternoon of the same day CAPTAIN CHARLES M'DONNELL, of the Twenty-eighth precinct station house, over- heard some parties speaking of having seen tie diver of a milk wagon deliver a iarge case of some kind into the eustody of the Heprew above named, in Carmine street, Thinking it very strange that a large cuse should be taken to a pawn shop by such a novel mode of conveyance 8 a milk Wagon and at such an uuseasonabic hour as that mentioned by the conversing parties, he asked about THE PARTICULASS of the case. His informants at once told him all they knew about it, and he was not long in making up his mind chat there was a gentleman of African extraction somewhere tn the lence, He took ward detectives Lofts and Slavin into his confidence, who agreed in the opinion that all was not as it should be. Having heard one of the men who gave the information describe the driver of THE MILK WAGON, Captain McDonnell theught they had Orst better try and find that imdvidual. Accordingiy search Was made for him, and he was found at his resi- dence, He was not atall backward about telling all he knew of the auiair, which was quite enough to confirm the astute Capiain’s FIRST IMPRESSIONS. “Now, let’s go down to this pawnshop,” sald McDonnell, sand see tf we can find this case.” jover acquiesced, and ina short time the three were contronting Mr. Cramer, the Hebrew custodian of the sundry packages and parcels which were stored away on the shelves and under the counter. “My friend,’? quoth the Captain, “we want to see that case of goods which was brought here early Uais morning.’? “T never saw any case of goods this morning, and certainly there Was none erougit here,” answered Cramer. I HAINT GOT NOTHING here but what you are at liberty to see; 80 just walk right in and see ef you finds the case of goods in mine house.”” The party availed themselves of the mviration and commenced searching the premises, Nothing, how- ever, 0! a suspicous hature Was found save a few pieces of a box whica had been broken up for fire- wood and thrown into the fireplace. By putting these together & portion of several letters and figures could be made out. Gntheriog up ali of these pieces the party iett, feeling nct ‘A LITTLE DISCOMFITED at, as they then theught, the poor inck they haa wad, About ten o'clock that night Mr. Dilor, the Justom flouse carman, entered Captain McDonuell’s room at the station house and informed him that he had lost a case of satin geods valued at $1,200, He Stated the facts, as given above, of the carman hev- ng taken a ioad of goods away in the morning and id that Le had FOUND THE ‘TRUCK, with twelve cases, at the Elghtn precinct station house, it having been abandoned in the street by te driver, Who has rot been seen since. Without waiting @ moment the Captain hurried over to the pawnshop which he had left but a short time before and arreste® Cra- mer, whem he conveyed to the station house and locked up. Yesterday morning he again confronted him and demanded to know all about that case, when the frigutened Jew confessed the whole thing and told where the goods could be found. Following his directions, Captain McDon- ne)l went to the house of Cramer's father, in Forty- iirst street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues, where he found a large trank fillea with THE STOLEN GOODS; then toa cigar store in Columbia street, near Stan- ton, kept by @ brother-in-law of Cramer, and then to another pelative’s house In Macdougal street, where he found two pieces of the satin. ‘TL® goods were all conveyed to the station house, where they are stil, and yesterday afternoon the prisoner Crainer was taken before a police justice, who remanded him back to the cust of Captain McDonnell.

THE STATE CAPITAL, Fierce Encounter Between the Republican Lions. Littlejohn and Alvord at Dag- gers’ Points. THE NEW LIFE INSURANCE BILL CONFIRMATION OF NOTARIES. ALBANY, March 2, 1871, For some reason or other best known to them- Selves the two leading republicans of the lower house (Alvord and Littlejohn) have been Af SWORDS’ POINTS ever since the first day of the present session. It Would, of course, be unjustiflable to charge either of the distinguished gentlemen with anything like selfish motives in their rivalry, inasmuch as the minority, as a matter of course, nave to play the second fiddle from day to day in mat- ters of legislation, whether they lke it or not; but the fact stands out in bold relief, that for ail that, there 1s a serew loose in the ma- chigery of the opposition, which has at last cestroyed its working powers in # way that must be very ac- ceptable to the other side, Being leade 8, Alvord and Littlejohn have each their trusty followers in the House. What is gospel to one side is heresy to the other, and as the majority do not care a snap for either the gospel of the one or the neresy of the other, it is neta diMcult matter for anybody to un- Gerstand the situation of the two parties under the circumstances. Although it was no disguised fact with either the democrats or the republicans that there has been all along such a thing as an impassa- ble gulf between the two factions, every care was taken by the moderate men of both factioas to avoid, as far as possible, A PUBLIO EXHIBITION OF THE FACTIONAL FEELING. But all their cunning and planning and compromis- ing came to an end to-day, and the quarrel broke out openly with such Gerceness that even the demo- crats became alarmed befure tt had ended. It hap- pened in this wise. The bill to facilitate the con- struction of the “Lake Ontario Shore Railroad and to amend the several acts in relation thereto,” came up for consideration in Committee of the Whole. One of its sections excepts the village of Youngs- town, Niagara county, from being bonded for the construction of the road, anda motion was made to strike it out. This touched Littlejonn on the raw, as one of ms Midland Railroad branches has a profitable right of way in the neigh- borhood. Of course he made a speech against the motion, and of course Alvord made a@ speech the other way. Then it was that Litrlejohn got his dander up, and for upwards of tveuty minutes he kept the entire house spellbound with a speech, which, for vindictiveness and bitter satire, was posi- Uvely terrible. Alvord was the object of almost every word of it and he was not s Littlejohn was paie with rage, and every word he Spoke came hissing out of his mouth as though he felt that each one was a serpent’s sting for his opponent, and that all that Was needed to make it deadly was the hiss of tbe serpent itself. “Why is tv that the gentleman from Unondaga always opposes almost every measure 1 propose, with arguments that cannot stand for an hour”? he cried at the close of his spe: kept quiet but too long, and now there must b A SEITLEMENT RIGHT HERR. ‘The members friendly to Litlejohn applauded loudly, and the chairman made no efort to suppress the plaudits, It was then Alvord’s turp. He had sai quietly m his seat, with his arms caimly folded, gazing in a listless sort of way at his rival from the beginning to the endof his speech, and had never made a move to inférrupt it. But he had now got the floor, and the democrats—who enjoyed the family quarrel hugely, .and who had the good sense to let the thing go on to the bitter end without ever showing their hand one way or the other—setticd themselves more comfortably in their seats, knowing that tie batiie Was but scarce begun. ‘Alvord tried to ap- pear unconcerned, and opened by iaiking sarcasc- caliy avout the ‘‘vehemence” of his antagonist and the “ew words” he intended to say himself; but he had been stung to the quick, and the wound: received were too near the heart to be hea! with honeyed words and mild expo-tulat he haa not proceeded tar before he, too, got ex- cited, anc it then became Lituejohn’s tara to wince. ‘The “Giant's” speech was not as long as the latter's, butit was terribly bitter, and evideutly gave 118 opject no comfort. When he wok his seat the applause from his faction was 1oud and long, and the democratic chairman again showed his good policy in letting the republi show their weak- hess without interruption. ay that the qnarrel created a commotion would give but a slight idea 3 of it8 real effect upon everybody present. Little- john, satistiea t Governor would veto the btll, let the Niagara county man, Sandford, have nis Way, and progress Was reported upon it; but the matter not ended there. Alvord left his seat apd went over to Littlejohn, and tor several minutes HY TWO BAD A PRIVATE TALK, which mereased im its bolsterousness to sach a de, gree that the Speaker had to call for order. What each said to the other could not, in the confusion of the moment, be heard; but one thing 1s cer.ain, and that is that neither one invited the other to dimner, ineed hardly add that the open rupture between the factions is looked upon by the democrats as an im- mense thing for themselves; for Aivord and Little- john had no warmer applauders during the delivery ot their philippics than the democrats, and no heartie: congratulators after they were ended. 1 leave everybody to judge for himseif of the sincerity and the motive which prompted both their applause and their congratulation: THAT LIFE ASSURANCE BILE. of Flage’s, which has created such consternation among Ube varlous companies, was ordered to a third reading to-day, by a vote ot 81 to 24, whieh shows the way the House will deal with ihe other bills when they come up for tinal disposal. Scrib- her, of Westchester, did his best to retard action in the matter, but he drew forth such a strong oppost tion that he nai to give it ud in despait, Husted and Hayes, of New York, were scathing in their remarks avout the frauds and in- Justices committed by some companies, The former contended that the business was done ona false and improper basis, and declared that he would vote to have policies made non-forfeitable and premiums regulated in amount according to the = or weakness of the constitution of the in- sured. Hayes asserted that there were ten or are companies in the State that were rotten core, Who make ib a busiuess to de fraud policy holders, and grow {at and wealthy at the expense of tneit deluded victims. When the bill comes up for ite final pas- sage it will be amended, so that when any company succeeds in meintaining tts charge of fraud on the partof the insured in getiing his policy, it shal! re- fund to his heirs, with seven per cent interest, all the premiums he may have paid. “This should be done,” said Mr, Husted, in bis speech, “to punish the company for not making thorough investigation into the insured party and family record, so as to have made the obtaining of @ policy through iraudu- lent representation an tmpossibullfy.”? ‘You can't find out everything necessary about every man’s family and constiiution before he gets out his policy.” exclaimed Scribner, “Yet as manage to find out all about it after he ts dead. Why noi find it out before he gets the policy, if you can do it afterwards #’ was Alyord’s reply. This 1s where the iauga came in, and Scribner did not explain, The following 1s the bill Srorion 1.
