SARATOGA. The Races at the Watering Place. FASHION AND FUN. The Reign of Fashion After the Rain of the Water God. THREE CAPITAL RACES. Joe Daniels Winner of the Kenner Stakes, Defender the Summer Handicap and Silk Stockings the Kentucky Stakes. Saratoea, August 17, 1872, ‘The firat day of the summer meeting Is over, and the races are a success. Twenty-five thousand ladies and gentlemen have 80 pronounced them. ‘Winners ‘of pools are jubilant: Losers are hopeful for to-morrow. Owners are full of excitement, and some are covered with the glory of their horses, while others are content with the chances of suc- cess born from new entries. Stable boys are in agony, while riders bear themselves with the dignity of mortals to whose shoulders wings have recently Deen attached. They are almost as grave as when im an unlucky moment they arise from the dust. All men are to-day centaurs, and all women, if we ‘would believe trailing lawn and illusion, are angels. From early morn there has been alone witnessed n every hand bustle and confusion, and the scene Glosed at nightfall upon a brilliant throng yet thril- lng With the ecstacy of eager enjoyment. THE POETRY OF THE RACES. ‘There was a grand crush upon the piazzas of the Grand Union and Congress Hall to-night, and they ‘were brilliantly lighted and resplendent with beau- tifal women in rich toilets. A poet sat among them— ‘with long faxen hair and deep Byron collar, sur- rounded by a very democratic group. There were present in acircle about him Chief Justice Sanford E, Chureh, Samuel J. Tilden, Senator Jarvis Lord and General Hartwell Carver. The poct was asked to Smprovise something of the races. He began, with a fine spun drawl—‘‘The sun went down upon the first day of the races.” “No it didn’t!” said a voice abruptly. “Beg pardon!” answered the poet de- murely, “but positively I looked in the almanac. ‘The san went down at precisely ——” A long ripple of laughter, ending in the crash of heavy, bass men’s votces, followed, and the poet ‘was drowned in a sea of small talk which at once arose about him. THE STORM OF THURSDAY, which began in a drizzling rain in the early morn- ‘mg, and continued fitfully during the ‘day, in- creased in volume with nightfall, and those im- mured in the walls of the immense quadrangular hotels they so much affect sullenly or poutingly voted them prisons. At dark the gutters ran like country brooks, and one had to wade from one hotel to the other. The ball which was to take place at the Congress Hall was postponed till this evening, and everybody seemed chagrined except, perhaps, the waiters and porters, moved listlessly about, or clung shrinkingly to their seats. The place was, in fact, shockingly dull, and those who could neither play billiards in the hotels, encounter the cat-like nd muzzled monster at the Honorable John’s Club House, nor drink themselves sublimely happy upon champagne cocktalls or brandy punches, were ‘wandering about with a hopeless look, only made more ghastly by the contrast with magnificently over-dressed ladies, who trailed across the horizon like a comet twice every five minutes, DREAMS. ‘When those upon whom the patter of the rain had fallen so chillingly retired for the night they still heard the gurgling water from the gutters and the rattling of the rain against the glass. As they sank to sleep their busy brains Betook themselves to linking Fancy unto fancy, And each saw irom the pillow the day’s disap- pointments and mixed with them a thousand va- garies. Jockeys dreamed of being thrown, and having their necks broken and shoulders dislo- cated, while they beheld their horses lying with broken legs ang blood-dripping nostrils, and, as is not usually the case after such experiences, they had the exquisite pleasure bf relating their experiences to their gaping-mouthed associates at the stable ony, im the early morning, though their faces ‘were a little pallid as they did so, and a soreness and feeling of a strain in the neck and shoulder, owing to colds caught, gave some color to their gloomy recital, Others wore a laughing, reckless, air of gayety and an appearance of “keeping a eilent tongue,” They had dreamed in the night how, amid the wildest excitement, they had won the Tace, while a sea of people covered with a foam of white handkerchiefs was surging around them. In this sea of humanity they saw standing alone the owner or asweetheart, whose beaming face. looking out upon them had peenes the pleasure ng, felt in dream land. The dreams of those who invested in pools were of too sordid a nature to win the sympathy of any but professionals and “policy” eeyaptrs. iE MORNING OF THE FIRST DAY broke at last, and the last drop of rain having been wrung the wet clouds they went floating away, white and fleecy, in the indigo biue of the . The reigm of fashion here has been disputed by the rain of the dashing water god, but the Hon. John came to the rescue of his patrons, stipulating for a fine day, which he won with a hea’ course, At eight o’clock the sun was scorching hot and began to reclaim the ground the water had encroache: bs and to dry the face of the earth—the same e that Horace Greeley tickles that he fakes make it laugh. Notwith- standing the good oifices of the great luminary, the streets showed what must be the heavy condition ofthe track over which the horses were to run, and there was much head-shaking and muttering. At nine o'clock the drooping spirit began to re- ra ses many of the more interested ones left for course, a mile away from the hotels. GOING TO THE RACES, At ten o’clock great numbers of people in car- Yiages and on foot, in omnibuses and carryalls be- gan to follow. The scene along the route was pic- iresque in the extreme. Smith and Jones, of Gowanus, drove out in state wearing an air az dec- orous as if they were going to a funeral. Senators and distinguished orators of the law came along in improvised equipages or jumbled together in a “red bird” express wagon or a Gumptown stage coach. Delegations of men famous in the councils of Tammany drove by in close carriages, through the windows of which passers-by caught glimpses of spotiess, diamonded shirt onts §=and immaculate Greeley hats. Great numbers of trians filled the footpaths, and Dolly ous among them by reason ‘ye O. M.

Hes'in the vehicles were drawn up on the carriage s the grand stand was well filled. Omleers were bane everywhere; the best of order was preserved from the start.

Charles Carrol Smith, whose fame in New York is Indissolubly con- nected with “the German,” sat near a group con- sisting of Mr. and Mrs. Homer Morgi Mi Morgan, of the Clarendon, and M White, a “society leader.” Near by was gotten up regardiess of expense in a en Perkina, Uatty suit, jschestnut horse Defender, by John Morgai nm Of grave and reverend Senators, who ¥ iitan detective bat were circniating | je NEW YORK HERALD.

Fair lips conned over the owners’ names or sometimes lisped the jockeys’ in their efforts to associate with them the colors worn, that they might hail the winner. Hoarse voices, from time to time called out the winning horse’s name, and, in joyful or doleful accents, the lengths pee ‘the others, or bawled out, “Hats oi! of THE RACING. ‘The track was in a horrible condition from the heavy rains of the preceding day and night; but as the sun burst out this morning in all its grandeur and the sky was clear the management decided at an early hour that the racing should go on. It was good, notwithstanding the rain. Three races were on the card, the first being the Kenner Stakes, for three-year-olds, two miles. This was the third time this race has been run, it being inaugurated in 1870, and was won that year by General A. Buford’s bay colt En- quirer, by Leamington, in 3:48, and in 1871 by Colonel McDaniel’s chestnut colt Harry Bas- sett, im 3:35%. Jo. Daniels won it yesterday im 8:49 on & much worse track than Enquirer had the day of his victory. Meteor ran a good sec- ond and London a fine third. They were all very much exhausted at theend. The stake amounted to $4,500, ; The Summer Handicap was the second race. there were but three starters for it. Last year, there were five, and it was won by Hamburg after a beautiful finish with Barney Williams, in 4:01%%. Defender won it to-day in 4:2434. The Kentucky Stakes have been run three sea- sons, having been won in 1870 by Harry Bassett in 1:5144, and last year by Sue Ryder in 1:4714. Silk Stockings won it to-day in capital style over the worst track ever two-year-olds were compelled to run on, making the mile in 1:52, js In the first race there were six starters ont of the fifty-seven original entries. These were C. C. & R. H. Park’s bay filly Experience Oaks, by Bon- |. nie Scotland, dam Sallie, by Lexington; Isaac W. Pennock’s bay colt (brother to James A, Connolly). by Vandal, dam Margravine, by Margrave; D. McDaniel’s chestnut colt Jo Daniels, by Australian, dam Dolly Carter, by Glencoe; D, R. Harness’ chest- nut colt Meteor, by Asteroid, dam Maria Innis, by Yorkshire; William Jennings’ bay colt Cape Race, by Lexington, dam imported Zone, by the Cure, and M. A. Littell’s gray colt London, by Lightning, dam sister to Jerome Edgar, by Star Davis. Jo Daniels was the favorite over the field, at five to four. He won the race by a length, Meteor second, London third. Jo Daniel has a grand reputation. He is a race horse, second to none of his age. Meteor is another good one and the only three-year-old that ever beat Jo Daniels inarace. He was close to him to-day. For the Summer Handicap there were six accept- ances, but only three starters, the others having ne amiss, ose that came to the it were ‘nos. W. Dosweli’s bay filly Wine Sap, by dyke, dam Nina, by Boston, four years old; D. McDaniel & Co.'s chestnut colt Hubbard, by Planet, dam Min- nie Mansfield, three years old, and John Morrissey's Cyncoria, by Herald, Defender was the favorite over the fleld justi before the start. He won avery easy race. Defender, when in condition, isa race horse at all distances, but he has never been in order since he came to the North. He ran well to- day, but he was not fully up to the mark in pre- aration. A few such races, however, will put him in condition, and then it will take a good horse to beat him at any distance. The Kentueky Stakes had six starters, comprising Mr. Belmont’s chestnut colt Silk Stocking, by Ken- tucky, dam Fiuke, and chestnut gts Electra, by Kentucky, dam HLernice; Hunter & Travers’ two, chestnut colt Reviler, by Censor, dam Jenny Rose, and imported black ‘colt Strachino, by Parmesan, dam May Bell; Oden Bowie's bay colt Catesby, by Eclipse, dam Katie, by Two Bets; and D. McDaniel’s chestnut filly Katy Pease, by Planet, dam Minnie Mansfield. Belmont's team were the favor- it over the field. Silk Stockin, won, Reviler being second and Catesby third. This was @ capital race, and created as much excitement as the Kenner Stakes. There was a great deal of money won and lost on the event. Silk Stocking, the winner, is a magnificent chestnut colt, with four white stockings and a blaze face. He is of fine size, being fifteen and a haif or more, and is formed like @ matured horse. He is a race horse now. THE FIRST RACE. THe KENNER STAKEs, for three-year-olds; $100 entrance, $50 forfeit; $1,500 to be added by the As- sociation; two mile: D. McDaniel’s ch. c. Jo.

Meteor continued to lead past the quarter pole one length, Jo Daniels second, two lengths ahead of London. These three colt# seemed the only ones in the race at this time. As they ran down the bet Jo Daniels took the lead near the half-mile pole, an was halt a length ahead at that point, Meteor being alength and a half in front of London, who was half a dozen lengths ahead of Cape Race; Experi- ence Oaks fifth; Pennock’s colt far behind. Jo Daniels led one length around the lower turn, Me- teor second, two lengths in front of London. As they came into the homestretch, Jo Daniels took the extreme outside, which was the hardest part of the track, Meteor the middie of the course and London the inside, which was much the heaviest; and as soon a3 they got into straight work a rattling struggle took place. Whip and spur were in vogue tothe end, Jo Daniels winning a capital race by ® short baw Meteor second, a length and a half ahead of London, The latter beat Cape Race six lengths, Experience Oaks fifth, Pennock’s colt sixth.

A SAD CASE OF POISONING. Aba SAD SLadl Death of a Respected Brooklyn Citizen— The Apothecary of the Brooklyn Navy Yard Poisoned by a Draught of the Tincture of Aconite Taken by Mistake. As the oficers and crew of the United States receiving ship Vermont, Captain John Watters, at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, were mustering in preparation for the weekly fire exercise on board of the ship yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, the whole ship’s company were thrown into a state of consternation as the word was passed to the Ex- ecutive Officer that the apothecary of the ship, Mr. Maynard, had taken a dose of poison, and that the presence of the Medical Officer was required without delay in the ‘sick bay."? Dr. Streets, the ship’s surgeon, immediately re sponded to the call, and upon arriving in tne “sick bay” found Mr. Maynard already under the influence of the fatal drug. Mr. Maynard told the surgeon that, having been attacked with cramps in the stomach, he had gone into the dispensary with the intention of taking a spoonful of tincture of ginger, and that he had not found out his mistake till he had swallowed the draught and discovered that he had taken a spoonful of tincture of aconite root, which is a deadiy poison, and is so power- ful in its effects that when taken in poisonous | doses it rapidly produces paralysis, numbness, coma and ultimately death. The regular dose of the drug in medicine is from two to ten drops, diluted in water. Without loss of time Dr, Streets adminis- tered the proper antidotes, and with a stomach ump tried to relieve the unfortunate man; but the rug had with lightning rapidity already diffused itself through his system, and it was found impoasi- ble to relieve him in that manner. Stimulants and other antidotes were persevered in, but with no good result, as the sufferer had already lapsed into @ state of unconsciousness. The symptoms, which at first were persistent —_vomit- in, and retching, were quicki followed is by insensibility and coma, the extremities became cold and paralyzed, and in spite of all efforts Mr. Maynard expired shortly after eleven o’clock—about in hour and a half after taking the poison. The deceased had, unfortunately, been shortsighted for a number of years, and, having gone into the dis- pensary without his glasses, committed the unfor- tunate and fatal mistake of taking one drug for the other. It so happened that the bottle contain- ing the poison was placed next to that containing the ginger on the dispensary shelf; and owing tothe hurry consequent on the fire-quarter exercise the mistake is easily accounted for, as there is but little difference in the color of the two dr Mr. Maynard was @ man of sober principles, and was to have left last night for Philadelphia, with his wife, on a short leave of absence. He was rated on board as a first class apothecary and druggist in the United States Navy, and the high esteem he was held in on board the oilicers and crew for his kindness and _affability has cast a gloom over LONG BRANCH. Bace of the Hoeydelphia Jockey Clab—Doctor Wins the First and Emma Robertson the Second Race—Heavy Track, but Fine Racing—Arrival of the President. Lona Branch, August 17, 1872. The President, accompanied by General Porter, arrived here at noon to-day. The promised race by gentlemen riders, belong- ing to the Hoeydelphia Jockey Club, lately formed by a number of “young bloods,” came off at three o'clock this afternoon. The rainy weather almost prevented the race, At an early hour this morning Pluvius showed no sign of relaxation, and the ardor of the brave spirits who made up the race was considerably dampened; for it seemed as if they would be obliged to postpone their cherished sport. But towards noon the rain ceased, though the sky was still overcast with clouds that threatened a renewed opening of the sluices of heaven. In spite of the unpropitious state of the weather the Hoeydelphians refused to be baMed, They assembled in conclave and deter- mined to brave it out, although it seemed almost certain that ladies would be precluded from gracing the occasion with their presence, and the race be thus deprived of the softening, incentive element essential to its brightness and interest. This con- sideration agitated their minds for a while, but about half-past twelve o’clock the sun broke forth and dissipated all gloomy forebodings. By two o'clock there was a select, brilliant attendance on the race course, Carriage after carriage deposited at the club house their precious freight offair ladies and escorts, and at three o'clock the eyes of a nu-, merous assemblage were fixed upon the happy Hoe TOSIDnLanye and inspired them to deeds of javing. The badge, or insignia, of the Hoeydelphia Clu is curious and unique. It consists of a diminutive tin plate, with spoon and fork attached crosswise, and @ cup, suspended bya blue ripbon. The tin plate bears the inscription, *‘Hoeydelphia, Long Branch.” Among the distinguished persons present were Lieutenant Fred Grant, Mr. T, P. Howell, the Misses: Howell, Mr. Theodore H. Myers and lea, with Miss Dora Hart; Mr. Charles Cooper and family, Mr. H. W. Brevoort and family, Colonel McAllister and family, Hon. James R. Durand and family, Messrs. H.S. Leech and D.C. Leech, Miss Agnes Rennie, Mr. G. W, Peters, Mr. Ralph Newton, Miss Margic Murphy, Mrs, Chauncey Depew, Mrs. Hegeman and others, THE FIRST RACE was for a purse of $500, mile heats. The following horses were the starters:—Emma Robertson, ridden by Mr. Harry Blessing; Hotspur, Li Mr. W. A. Perry; Lilly of the West, by Mr. H. W. Brevoort; Doctor, by Mr. Stoughtenburg, and Little Jack Horner, oy Mr. F. Durand, There was lively betting in making up the pools last evening. Doctor was the favorite on the race track, Hotspur the second and the other turee horses were the fleld, ‘The judges’ stand was occupied by Mr. R. G. Mur- phy as the starter, Messrs. Harry and David Leech as the judges, r. T. H. French oiticiated as the pe tee with becoming dignity. The West End fotel band was on the track, and under the leader- ship of Mr. Meyer discoursed excellent music, THE FIRST RACE. The horses shot away at the tap of the drum at three o'clock, Doctor taking the lead and Lilly of the West following second, As they passed the half-mile ole Doctor obtained the lead and kept it, closely followed by Emma Robertson, with Lilly of the West halfalength behind. Coming up the backstretch Doctor showed tn front, closely pressed by Emma, but the former passed under the string the winner by halr a length, with Little Jack Horner, Lilly of the West and Hotspur distanced. Time, 1:59. In the second heat only two horses—Doctor and Emma Robertson—took part. They made a good start, Doctor taking the lead and holding it the entire race, Winning by about three lengths, ‘Time, 2:08, THE SECOND RACE was a mile dash for the Consolation Purse of $250, Presents by Mr. Theodore H. Myers. The follow- ing three horses took part:—Little Jack Horner, ridden by Mr. F. Durand; Lilly of the West, by Mr. H. W. Brevoort, and Hotspur, by Mr. W. A. Perry. Hotspur took the lead, but on reaching the quarter le Little Jack Horner was ahead, and kept the ead, winning by a length, with Lilly of the West second and Hotspur third, There was a dinner at the club house after the race, Twenty-four gentlemen _ participated, Speeches and songs enlivened the affair, in which r, George C. Hoey and Mr. W. A. Perry distin- guished themselves, causing much merriment to those present. A DRESS HOP. There was a dress hop at the West End Hotel this evening, which was, as usual, attended by the élite of the place, ARRIVALS, Among the latest arrivals at the West End are General Stewart L. Woodford and lady, General McCook and family, Ohio; Mr. A. R. Gavett, and Mr. and Mrs. Paterson, Philadelphia, and others. TWO WOMEN DROWNED. A girl, eighteen years old, belonging to Hen- Dessy'’s cottage, was found drowned in front of the West End Hotel at four o'clock this afternoon, Four servant girls were bathing this evening, and were overcome by the heavy surge. Two were saved easily, and the third was rescued when nearly drowned by a _ resident at the West End Hotel, named Henry Woodruff, at the -risk of his life, She was resuscitated after an+ hour's exer- tion. The fourth girl is lost. This makes the sec- ond death by drowning within four hour's this aiternoon.

SUPPOSED TERRIBLE BUTOHERY. Horrible Tragedy—Crews of the Tow- boat Helen Brooke and a Trading & Vessel Murdered in Cold Blood. MEmpnis, Tenn., August 17, 1872, Early this morning a fisherman discovered tlie little steamer Helen Brooke floating down stream, near Head Cheeks Chute, some ten miles above here, and. apparently abandoned. He rowed out to the steamer, made a line fast, and pulled her towards the bank, but before reaching It saw a negro, with a shot gun on his knee, in a sitting po- sition asleep on the lower deck, who, as soon as the boat struck the bank started up, leaped ashore and ran into the woods, The fisherman them boarded the steamer and found traces of a desperate struggle having taken place and the decks wet with . He then came to this oity and reported wi he had done and seen, Subsequently the Grand Tower, from Louis, arrived here, bringing @ message from the magistrate at Bradley's Landing, eighteen ies above here, stating that the crew of the Helen Brooke and the proprietors and families of a trading boat which the Brooke had towed u there had been murdered and the boat plundered, Assistance was at once despatched on the steamer John Overton.

C, Second Congressional District, SQ THE POLITICAL HEADQUARTERS.| ANOTHER HEAVY BOND ROBBERY,” a a 5 ———<1 Saturday is always @ dull day at the various | 4 splendidly Worked-up Case—Peddling Political headquarters, and yesterday was no ex- ceptioon to the rule, At the Glenham Hotel every- thing was remarkably quiet, as indeed it has been for the past few days. A gentleman from North Carolina gave some de- tails of the feeling that prevails in that State since the election, He says that extensive frauds have been practiced and that the republicans do not venture to deny that such is the case. He thinks that Greeley and Brown will be certainly elected in November, as the unfair practices that have been resorted to have been productive of great good to the liberal cause. A Jersey politician predicts that Jersey will give Greeley the large: alg she has ever given to any Presidential candidate. The democrats and the hbera! republicans are working most harmoni- ously together and are leaving no stone unturned to secure a great victory. Jersey is alive with en- thusiasm, and the influence of such men as Gov- ernor Randolph and Governor Parker is productive of splendid results, A letter from Illinois, addressed to a private gen- tleman in this city by a prominent Chicago lawyer, Siates that a caretul canvass of the State has been | made, all classes of the population having been talked to, and that it 1s almost certain that the lib- eral ticket will be elected by at leasc ten thousand majority. Among the callers was General Banks, whose speech on Wall street has been postponed, Colonel ow left for Long Branch, to be absent until Mon- The Democratic Headquarters. Considerable routine business was transacted at the aemocratic headquarters, and there were a large number of callers, but none of them were of more than local prominence. The advices received from all parts continue to be favorable, and if they can be relied upon a sweeping victory will be achieved by Greeley in November, The Grant Headquarters. Colonel Chandler has again leit the Grant head- quarters to be absent some days, There seems to be an alarming scarcity of news, the clerks when by amg to for information invariably replying that there is nothing to communicate. Whether this can be ascribed to the laziness which the heat has produced or some other cause it is dificult to say, THE HUNGARIANS. ming ttt ENED Ratification Mecting of the Hungarian Grant and Wilson Campaign Club. The newly formed Hungarian Grant and Wilson Campaign Club, Mr. William N. Loew presiding, held its second meeting at its headquarters, 385 | ter | square Broome street, last night, for the purpose of for- mally ratifying the nominations of the “great” re- publican party. The chairman doliverea a stir- ring opening address, saying that political parties are the bearers of the history | of a nation. They must exist. In this vk eehats the republicans and democrats are now the sacred rights of existence as the Deakists and the followers of Tisza have in Hungary, or as the lib- erais and conservatives have in England. But the perry lines must be closely drawn, and while I honor every man who stands up mantuily to de- fend his conviciions, and while I respect every man who fights in the ranks of a noble minority, I despise—I accuse of cowardice and treachery—any man and any party which, for the simple sake of | momentary success, dares to debauch and to prostitute himseif or the party with elements which are strange to his being—who dares to sacrifice the very nature of his being. And, looking over the field of the politi- cal arena, what a disgraceful sight do we behold! M. Epwarp J. CRAMER, in addressing the meet- ing, congratulated the assemblage on the progress they had made in their organization and their etforts to abide by that party which in the past had saved the country and which in the future will guide it in the wake of progress and prosperity. Who was the present leader of the democratic party ? Hor- ace Greeley. What qualifications did he possess ? His knowledge about farming and passing a busy life in running for all sorts of offices, to be elected to stay athome! He was represented as a har- binger of peace, while in fact he was an ever-busy advocate of a policy of annihilation. There was no guarantee that that genes windmill in the past will not be a political windmill in the future. As the New York Tribune shouted in 1868, 80 did ae, shout to-day, to support at all hazard the repubil- can party. The next speaker was Dr. Gustav Trescotte, who severely criticised the course of Senator Schurz, and a series of resolutions expressive of the sen: ofthe meeting were read and adopted by an en- thusiastic vote. Communications were read from General George H. Sharpe, Weil Von Gernsback, G. Ehrlich and prominent Hungarian residents, and from Stewart L. Woodtord, THE CONVENTION OF THE IRISH UNIONS, The meeting of the Irish societies of the city and county of New York, which was to have been held at 42 Prince street, did not result as successfully as | Five delegates from | might have been supposed. etch of the temperance and church societies were to have been present, but in some cases there were organizations not represented by one, The object of the Convention, as announced by the chairman, was to revise bylaws, collect dues and re-arrange the constitution in such @ manner as would tend to the more perfect consoli- dation of the Unions. The theory of this was discussed by several of the members, some ar- guing that it belonged to each society to alter its own constitution, and not to the whole societies there convened. The gathering, however, being very small, very little business of importance trans- pired. Nothing was heard from the committee ap- pointed at the last meeting to transact business Telative to the assisting the orphans of the Catholic Protectory, recently destroyed by fire; nor was there any report from the Committee on the Re- vision of Bylaws. The meeting, on the whole, ‘was 8 failure. THE PACIFIC COAST.

J. Parks, called at the oMce of Anfenger & Ehren-: reich, No, 33 Pine street, and left with the firm) bonds of the St. Paul and Pacific Railroad to the! value of $16,000, requesting them to sell the same to the best advantage. Accordingly the firm issued a circalar to the effect that they had the bonds in their possession for sale, and request~- ing bids, This document was sent around to the principal banking houses: and brokers, among others to Jay Cooke & Co. and Merrill, Tilmey & Co, of No. 11 Walk street. The first-mentioned firm offered 61 and the other 6114 cents on the dollar. With a view, however, to increasing their offer if necessary Merrill, Tilney & Co, telegraphed to Williams Brothers & Dunbar, bankers, St. Paul, Minn.,. requesting them to “make best bid for $16,000 St. Paul and Pacific bonds,”” P ‘ Now, it appears that some’ time since the Minne- apolls Bank, of Mineapolis, was robbed of $18,000 in’ bonds, $16,000 of which were the identical bonds Drs: Parks had left with Messrs. Anfenger & Ehrenreich. for sale, and when ‘THE 8T, PAUL BANKING FIRM ' received Merrill, Tilney & Co.’s telegram they at once notified the Minneapolis Bank of the fact. This notification resulted in the following de- spatch :— Minnravotis, Minn., Ausust 15, 1872. .. L.

On receipt of this Mr. William K. Kitchen, Prest- dent of the Park Bank, sent for Captain Sampson, the weil known Wall street detective, and, stating the whole case, requested him to take it in hand and spare no trouble or expense in endeavoring to sift the matter to the bottom, remarking that-he might draw on him for whatever was necessary. With his usual energy Sampson set about MIS ARDUOUS TASK, He first called on Merrill, Titney & Co., and asked if they were negotiating for the bonds in question. Yes, they were; were negotiating with Messrs. Anfenger & Ehrenreich for them. Sampson knew the gentlemen composing this lat- firm—knew them be upright, business men, and therefore determined to at once see them. He cailed in at their office, and during an interview with Mr. Anfenger ex- plained the whole atfuir so faras Known to him, and requested to know from whom he got the bongs, Mr. Anfenger explained that Dr. Parkes had left them with him, as above stated, taking the gentleman wholl, into his confidence. «Captain Sampson requeste him to get the bonds for him. This was agreed to, and the two arranged between them that Sampson, under an assumed name, should offer sixty-two cents and that Anfenger was to keep Parkes busy by litt! epetty delays in the negotiation, 80 as to allow Sampson to telegraph to Minneapolis and get the numbers of the bonds or some other information in regard to them by. which they and PARKES COULD BE HELD. This worked most admirably; but Sampson was unable to get the desired information, as the follow- ing telegram in reply to his (in which he stated that he could get bonds and prisoner if proof was sent) will show :— Minneapouis, Minn., August 16, 1872, Witura K, Kitcnen, President National Park Bank : Seventeen five hundred dollar bonds, ‘hirty-two hun- dred. Fitty interest coupons collected by you June 3 Cannot give numbers yet R, J. BALDWIK, Cashier. This, Sampson thought, would not do, so he de- termined to gain more time on Parkes in which to collect evidence. ‘To this end he instructed Mr. Anfenger to say to Dr. Parkes that Colonel Henry Cunningham—who was, of course, none other than Sampson himself—had been unexpectedly called out of town on account of sickness in his family, who were stopping in the country, but that he would return again the next morning (Saturday) and would leave a check for bonds with him (Anfenger) at eleven o'clock, By eleven o'clock the next morning Sampson had made up his mind to ARKEST PARKES ANYHOW, and so met him at Anfenger & Ehrenreich’s when he came for his money. A carriage was called, and the Doctor and Fanpaon being comfortably seated inside started for Police Headquarters. On the way up the officer asked his prisoner where he got the bonds, and was informed that they were given him by the notorious Spence Pettis, _ Parks having been locked up, the next business in order was the arrest of the gentle Spence. Sampson requested Captain Irving's assistance in this matter, and having previously learned that the object of their senrch was to caW at Park’s om Broadway, during the afternoon of yesterday for the purpose of getting the money for his bonds, they at once repalred to that vicinity and laid in wait for their game. They had not been watching a great while when they noticed a some- what notorious individual by the name of Steve Gordon closely Watching them, On discovering that he was observed Gordon left, and as soon as HE STARTED CAPTAIN IRVING told Sampson to follow him, remarking at the same time that wherever he found him he would find Pettis also, Sampson started, and going across the street entered the building in which Parks’ office is situated and passed on up stairs, aud then thi a long passage way towards the rear of the est lishment where, on looking over the staircase towards Parks’ office, he saw Gordon and Spence Pettis in earnest conversation. of course the latter was at ouce arrested and taken to the Central Ofice, where he now oc- cupies a ceilnear his friend Dr. Parks. On_tele- graphing to Minneapolis that he had arrested the men and obtained the bonds, Sampson urgently requested to retain both until the m sary evidence can be forwarded. A BROTAL POLICEMAN. A Pedler Clubbed Insensible—Severe\_ Reprimand to a Blue-coated Pree server of the Peace, Yesterday afternoon John Flynn, a sober, indus- trious pedler, stopped his wagon on the corner of Thirty-ninth street and Eighth avenue, to go into a house. When he came out OMicer Fitzgerald, of the Twentieth precinct, who scarcely ever arrests @ prisoner whom he does not unmercifully mal- treat, ordered him eee h to drive away. This Flynn refased to do, saying he had a license. Fitzgerald sprung ope im and struck him with all his force op the head with his club, inflicting a severe scalp wound, Flynn turned upon his brutal assailant and tried to get away from him, out the blue-coated brute renewed his assault and beat him on the head till it was a mass of cuts, bruises and blood, Almost fainting Flynn allowed himself to be led away and taken to Jefferson Market. Justice Cox asked the charge against the pris- oner. The “preserver of the peace,” in a stam- mering manner, replied, “Disorderly conduct,’? When asked who clubbed him in such a fearful manner Fitzgerald said, “I did.” Justice Cox asked why he did it and received the r@ply that he refused to go with him, Justice Cox gave Fitzger- ald a severe reprimand, and said he would hesitate very little in taking a charge against him for as- sault, He discharged Flynn, to go to the Police Cone and make a complaint against Fitz- gerald, A BAILROAD ACCIDENT.
