Police Precincts Properly Patrolled—A Still More Eafective Protection Desired by the Board of Commissioners—Bergh’s Philanthropic Heart To Be Made Glad—Death to Dog and Cock Pits—A Practical Case in Point. S80 much has been sald and written in the Bolamns of the press within the past few weeks Poncerning the alleged existence in Brooklyn of gambling houses, policy shops and other places, which form part and parcel of the ‘‘Devil’s Ex- Weange” in almost every great city in the world, Maat the Board of Police Commissionera of the smurchly municipality felt it incumbent upon them do exercise renewed and increased exertion in order to ascertain whether in reality ‘such things Bould be, and overcome us like 4 dream.” In erder to get at ‘the true facts” the Board of Polloe Demmissioners, consisting of Geperal James Jour- @an and Mr. Daniel D. Briggs, His Honor the Mayor being member ex-oficto, caused to be promulgated by Chief Campbell General Order No. 96, addressed $o the captains of the ten precincts and three sub- precincts of Brooklyn, instructing those officials to make A CAREFUL INVESTIGATION ‘i the number of gambling houses, policy shops, Reouses Of prostitution, assignatien and panel places ‘tm their respective precincts. They were also in- structed to make report in writing of the result ef their investigations at the earliest day possible. Mesterday the captains reported ag instructed. Phe result in brief is as follows :— First Precinct—Captain Joel Smith, a thickly set- Med district.—Not a solitary seeing house, policy phop, panel house or house of prostitution could be 4eund by the patrolmen. One house of assignation was discovered, however, in Fleet street, and that domicile will be raided upon immediately and the in- mates disper: This precinct until within the it lew wee! njoyed the prosperity (7) of three Keer shops (gonuag places), but they have van- ad before the scorching blasts of VIRTUOUS VENGEANCE which erenen stave the heads of the evil doers.

In his report the veteran and euer- Bits Captain states that some time ago a man who himself Edgar Wallace sold policy slips in a ip store at 52 Union street and was arrested no sess than four times for the offence. Upon one oc- mn Wallace was fined. If again caught he will attended to. Sub-Precinct—which extends from Fourth im to Red Hook Point, embracing the long line river front—is well guarded and as proper.

Fanny Hyde to Be Tried Again, District Attorney Britton has given notice that he will move for a second trial of Fanny Hyde, the alleged murderess of George W. Watson, on the 20th inst., in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, The prosecuting officer of Kings county is deter- mined that the trial shall proceed, otherwise her bail will be forfeited. The accused is said to be in a very delicate state ofhealth, On her last trial, during the month of May, 1872, the jury stood tep for acquittat and two for conviction. Commissioners of Charities. Dr. Joseph C, Hutchinson has been appointed Con- sulting Physician fer the county hospitals by the Board of Charities, There are 363 inmates remain- ing in the Almshouse, 603 in the Lunatic Asylum, 366 in the Nursery and $28-in the Hospital, An effort will be made by the reform movers this Winter to procare the passage of an act creating the Board of Charities a Commission of Correction, in order that they may control and utilize “pauper labor,” so as to lighten the burdon of taxation in that department of public expenditure, The Death of Anna Dunworth. The Coroner was engaged yesterday in endeav- oring to glean all the information attainable touch- ing the actual cause of the death of the unfortunate girl, Anna Dunworth, which occurred at the Home- opathic Lying-in Asylum, and who was buried upon a certificate setting forth that typhoid fever was tho immediate cause of death. Coroner Jones stated that if the girl did die of typhoid fever it is one of the quickest cases that he had ever heard of. He had been notified to hold an inquest upon the body of: the child of the girl, but he had been made acquainted with some startling facts relative to the death of the mother, which he considered his auty to investigate. THE CUSTOM HOUSE IMBROGLIO. Phelps, Dodge & Co.’s Statement—Their Side of the Circumstances of the Case. A representative of the HERALD yesterday ¢ led at the office of Phelps, Dodge & Co., in Clit street. The only member of the firm who was em- powered to talk upon the subject of the Custom House imbroglio (Mr. Dodge, Jr.) was out. At half-past tour in the evening this gentleman ap- peared in the counting-room, and after a few intro- ductory remarks made the following statement :— Ever since the late war between the Northern and Southern States of the Union there has been more or less diMculty with invoices. .This has not been especially the case with the iron trade, but im every branch of importing. Congress passed laws from time to time which did not appear in a printed form or reach the hands of the lawyers or mer- chants till at least a year and a half after their adoption, At once wo became entangled, and every one in the foreign trade was moving {n the dark. We sodgeratce to jearn as much as we could in regard to these Congressional proceed- ings, but were constantly, so to speak, moving in the dark, 4 CASE, FOR INSTANCE, is that of a firm recetng an invoice to the amount of £5,000. It happens that a Contimeutal railway charge exists for perhaps £1, and this charge has been forgotten tn the invoice. That one omission hazards the value of the entire invoice in that if the government can prove such omission the im- porters forfeit the entire value at which the mer- chandise is entered, The accidental omission of a shilling may thus jeopardize a cargo. AN OUTSIDE INVOICE came te our notice the other day, wherein there was an accidental difference of fourteen cents, and the invoice, amounting to $80,000, was hazarded by this trifle. T think there may possibly be a suit brought against us, but itis uncertain. There only an argument existing between ourse! the Custom House oiticials, the natura) result of trifling errors, perbaps, and the complication that would ensue. We are willing to indemnity the government against any loss it could possibly sus ‘ain from us, THE ACTION OF TIE LAWYERS we believe to be the natural outgrowth of mall- cious reports, circulated to injure our reputation as a firm, and which have no real basis. We have had no notice of any action to be brought against us by the government other than such as has appeared m the newspapers, and in which we see only the maiice and perversion of people desirous of injuring us. THE ONE MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND DOL- LARS spoken of in connection with ourselves and the edie ad is made out of “the whole cloth.” It merely an imaginary sum, supposed to cover the gross amount of the invoices which might be in- volved by any trifling error in any one of them. No such amount has ever been alluded to by the Custom House officials, THE FREE COLLEGE, Introduction of Important Changes— Doing Away with the Semi-Annual Examination—Civil Enginecring a Post-graduate Study—Raising the Standard of Admission. The ushering in of the new year has brought with it some important changes in the College of the City of New York. Foremost among these innova- tions is the doing away with the semi-annual ex- amination, which heretofore has been held in February, an examination ordinarily occupying about ten days, besides seriously interrupting the course of svuidies, causing an amount of anxiety to the students and trouble to the faculty that hardly compensated for the result. The faculty have this year substi- tuted a thorough review of all the studies gone over since the opening of the collegiate year in Jast September, the marks to be carried on to the annual examination in June, and to be included in the results of the latter examination, in deter- mining the advancement of the students, Another important change has reference to the course of studies, Hereafter civil engineering will not form part of the college coarse, but will only be taught to such graduates as may desire it. Through this change much more time will be given to the course of pure mathematics and allow greater attention to the classical course. In Tegard to the admission of candidates from the Public schools a chan, has been determined upon which will materialiy arfect the standard of instruction in the highest class of the male gram- mar schools throughout the city, Under the new arrangement no candidate will be admitted into the college who is defictent in either arithmetic, English grammar or algebra to equations of the second degree. The importance as well tle effect of all these changes wiil be readily seen. They indicate a progressive Ly controjling the man- agement of the People’s College, as this college is Brahe called, and augur for the fature still more rilliant results than have been achieved in the past. THE SHOTWELL BOND CASE AGAIN. The Fair Complainant Fails to Come to Time—Examination Postponed Till To- day—Judge Dowling Resolute, The examination of Francis W. Brooke, charged by Miss Carlotta Shotwell with having received certain bonds and agreements for the delivery of Tatlroad stock, which she alleges were worth $60,000, and were stolen from her in Detroit, was set down for half-past twelve o'clock yesterday, At that time there were assembled in the exami- hation room at the Tomos Mr. Brooke, his counsel, ex-Judge Cardozo, and several well-known gentle. men interested in the case. They were ali anx- fously awaiting the arrivai of the iair complainant, and at half-past one the lady had not appeared, Ex-Judge Cardozo then arose and sai I think that a reasonable ti allowed for the appeara: of the and as she has failed to appear mediate discharge ct my cliant.* Judge Dowling—Perhaps che lad unable to be present. I cannot a tion to dismiss the prisoner. I will set down the exatoination for Monday week next, Ex-Jucge Cardozo—But in the mean time your Honor, my client will remain uncer the shadew of an unjust charge, and J, therefore suggest, if your eogagements will permit, that the case be set down jor examination to-morrow. In fact ! think this case will prove a clear cause of blackmailing, and f{ do not believe the compiainant will dare face @ cross-examinaticn. Judge Dowling—I will bind myself to nothing of the sort. I will set the case down for examination Wo- morrow, RAILROAD ACCIDENT AT PASSAIC, PATRRSON, N. 4., Jan, 9 1973, A Hollander, named Wenn, was struck by a train and killed at Passaic village this morning, while “has been mplainant, J move fer the im- is unwell and ept your mo- st work on the D % era Baulronde claware.

Stewart Re-elected Pres dent—Fidelity of the Party to the Cincinnati Pledges—Presideni Grant Censured Regarding the Louisiana Fight, The Liberal Republican Genera) Committee for 1873 met last night, at 814 Broadway. ‘The President, Mr. Thomas E. Stewart, called the ineeting toorder, There was a full attendance, over one hundred and twenty-five members being present. Prominent among the delegates were General John A. Foster, Judge Fithian, Benjamin A, Willis, General John Cochrane, Ira P. Miller, Horatio A. Twombly, Christopher Poltman and Peter Cook, Mr. Coox moved to elect Mr. William P, Richard- 80D and Joseph Forbes temporary secretaries. The motion was carried, The delegates presented their credentials, and the Secretary called the rol, Among those not answering to their names were Whitelaw Reid, Rufus F, Andrews and Theodore Giaubensklee. Mr. JamEs L, Nastio moved that a committee of twenty-one, one from‘each district, be appointed to prepare a ticket of officers for 1873, ir. CHRISTOPHER PULLMAN—I move that our oflicers for the last year be elected by acciamation for 18’ (Loud applause.) Our oiticers of the last year have given the greatest satisfaction, and I say that they ought to be re-elected by acclama- ion. The PRESIDENT said he would prefer not to as- sume again the duties of the presiding ofice. He called attention to the fact that MR. WHITELAW REID, 0 who was Vice President last year, would not be likely to serve this year on the committee, Mr. RICHARDSON hoped that Mr. Thomas E. Stew- art would withdraw his declination aud serve as presiding ofilcer for 1873, Mr. Foster said that he knew that there were some of the committee who wanted to sell the party out to Tammany Hall. CHARLES T, POLHEMUS thought General Foster was very ungenerous in his remarks. He knew of noone on the committee who wanted to go over to Tammany Hall, (Appianse,) Mr. Srewarrt, the President, said, modestly, that there was a number of men in the Committee better qualified for the office than he was, The motion to elect Mr. Stewart the presiding oficer lor 1873 was then put and unanimously car- ried, The cheering with which the result was re- ceived lasted two or three minutes, Mr. STEWART—Gentlemen, you have put the standard into my hands, and, ‘come weal or woe, Vilcerry it through to the end of this year.

Mr. PULLMAN offered the following resolutions :— Resolved, That we hereby renew our pledges of fidelity to the prinviples and declarations of the liberal repub- lican party as settorth in the platform made by the con- vention which assembled at Cincinnati, May 1, 1372. (Applause.) DESPOTISM IN LOUISIANA, Resolved, That the encroachments made upon the rights of the people of Louisiana by the administration is serious cause for alarm, and we call upon our brethren throughout the land to organize and by means of public meeténys and the independent press atouso the people to a sense of their danger. (Applanse.) Mr. S, L, MACOMBER denounced the action of the President in the Louisiana muddle, and said that the people of that State would be justified in resort- ing to a vioient revolution, eneral Foster said that it was time to denounce such despotism, and the resolutions were catried unanimously. ‘The Committee then adjourned. DANGER IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, Perils to Which the Pupils Are Ex- posed—Explosions Which May Occur at Any Moment—Boilers and Engines Run by Unlicensed Janitors—Lack of Fire Escapes. The awful lesson taught by the disasters of the ¥iith Avenue Hotel and Centre street fires seems to have no effect upon those in charge of our great public institutions, Yesterday a case was brought to light in connection with our public schools which is well calculated to strike terror to the hearts of thousands of parents in this city. Some time ago Drs. Post and Vich, Health In- spectors connected with the Sanitary Department, were detailed to make a thorough inspec- tion of the schools of the city, Im order to ascertain the arrangements for the health and safety of the pupils. The two doctors have just made their report, They state that they have made the tour of ali the schools in the city, and, after setting forth their arrangements, they specify the following as being unprovided with fire escapes:—32 Cannon street, 30 Allen street, 64 Chrystie street, 101 Lewis street, 68 Elm street, 42 First street, 32, 34 amd 36 C HH place, 97 and 99 Greenwich street, 117 Cedar sircet, 427 East Sixteenth street, 203 Pearl street, 196 Seventh strect and No, 3Stone street, Here are twelve schools wholly UNPROVIDED WITH THE MEANS OF EXIT for the children in case of a sudden conflagration, and in view of the recent calamities noone can tell when such a conflagration may break out, In carelessness that these fire escapes should not have been long since erected. The matter is te be thoroughly investigated, and it is to be hoped the proper steps to remedy the evil will be imme- diately taken. ‘There is another thing connected with the pub- lic schools which cals for serious attention, It appears from the reports of the inspectors of the Third district, comprising the Ninth and Tenth wards, that the persons in charge of the engines which regulate THE HEATING APPARATUS are wholly incompetent, having no knowledge of the propcr discharge of their duties. The janitors, in addition to their other duties, are saddied with the task of attending to the heating, and as none of them are practical engineers the results of sach bungling can be casily seen. An explosion is at any time imminent, and if one shoulda occur during school hours the result would be too horrible to contemplate. The following letter in connection with the subject has been addressed to Captain Yule of the Sanitary Department :— New York, Jan. 8, 1873. Sin—T have reason to believe that the persons in charge ot the boilers in the schools in the Third district, compris- ing the Ninth and Sixteenth wards, are not competent enuincers, but havy In the majority ot cases been taken from the position of janitor and placed in the one they now hold. [tear their retention may result disastrous: to the schoiars in the schools in 'y are employed and T resp re invers (so called} in the disirict n nan amined by your Depart ment and the result made known to me arly as expe- GEORGE H, MAOKAY, dient, Yours, respectfully, 366 West Twentieth street, Inspector Third District. To Captain Yuur, Police Department, Captain Yule states that the law requires the owners of boilers and engines to report the locality of the same, and he then sends his officers to in- spect them. The law makes it a misdemeanor if these reports are not made. Le says several of the janitors have reported, been examined and found competent, but thut others have been rejected, The subject he considers to be one of grave interest and worthy oi/a strict inquiry, THE DEATH OF MRS, CHURCH. Pneumonia the Kesult of Injuries Caused by Attempted SelfAbortion, Coroner Keenan yesterday took some testimony in the case of Mrs. Elizabeth Taylor Church, late of 629 Ninth avenue, who died on the 4thinstant from the effects of injuries received while attempting to commit an abortion upon herself, as previously re- ported in the HERALD, Dr. Thomas, one of the at- tending physicians, deposed that, in making @ post-mertem cxamination on the body, he foundan abscess of the lung, with pneumonia; he aiso dis- covered in the body a wire, seventeen and a half inches in length, about the size of a knitting-needle, lying diagonally across the abdominal cavity, one end of the wire being embedded in the right lung tothe depth of two inches, Previous to her death Mrs, Church stated to Dr. Thomas that she had used the wire upon herself. Deceased told the same story to Mrs Henrietta Brinckernolf, her sister-in-law, and her motive for so doing. The jury rendered a verdict of death from pneu- monia, the result of the injuries above deseribed, Mrs. Chureh, Who was the mother of two children, was thirty-two years of age and a native of Dutch- ess county. GRAND LARCENY AND PROBABLE MURDER. A colored sailor named George W. Brisco re- cently arrived here on a vessel from Baltimore and was paid olf and discharged, Soon after he fell Into the*hands of John Morse, also colored, who keeps a house of bad repute at 59 Thompson street, and was induced t. take up his quarters there. He had with him a tronk containing clothing and a sum of money. He had been residing in the house but asbort time when, returning to his room, he found his trunk broken open and his clothin and ¢80 in money gone. He communi- cuted ‘tne fact to the police, and Morse and & young girl, who resides with tim, named Lillian Hoitis, Were arrested, and yesterday arraigned at Jeiterson Market. It will be recollected that on noruing after New Year's a dissipated man ned Michael Brady, residing at No.4 Carmine atreet, w ‘ound dead in the rear of this place, No, 69 Tuompson street, with marks of violence on his body his Watch torn from bis vest, the ring being left behind, Morse communicated the jacis to the po: and an investigation followed. It is now fuspected that Morse had something to do with Brady's death, as he has last seen in his com- pany ot New Year's evening, Both he and th girl were Jocked up, Without bail, to await dev ODILEN ty most of the schools fire escapes would be the only | means of salvation, and it is certainly criminal | THE JERSEY MUNICIPAL. JOBS, Waiting Nine Hours for a Verdict. és Ee vse No Prospect of an Agreement—A Breese Among Counsel—Counsel for the Ring Afraid of the Newspapers—Bumsted To Be a Witness Next Term—Desperate Efforts to Stave Of the Other Indictments—Trial of Police Justice Keese. The trial of the members of the Board of Public Works of Jersey City for unlawfully helping Wil- Mam Robertson, a partner of William Bumsted, to @ goou fat job—the Van Vorst street sewer—was resumed yesterday morning. Messrs. Linn and Winfield summed yp for the defence, after which the District Attorney tucked up his sleeves and proceeded to demolish the theories of the eminent legal quartet arrayed against him. Throwing aside his manuscript, he reminded the jury, by way of preface, that the defendants had come ‘ WITHOUT ANY DEFENCE, The State had proved all that was necessary to establish the case, The work doue inyolved a pay- ment of more-than five hundred dollars; there was no advertisement for bids and the work was partly paid for, That was the whole case plain - and unvarnished. The defence set up the plea that there was no contract. WHAT 19 A CONTRACT? A man does a piece of work for me, and I pay him for it. Thatis a contract. Robertson says to the Board, “I have built your sewer; here's my bill.” That is a contract. The only defence was that these defendants did not know anything abont it. Well, then, what are they paid more than $10,000 a year for? Why not LET BUMSTED RUN THE BOARD altogether, as, according to the evidence of the de- fendants themselves, he seems to have done. The very committee that authorized this payment ex- pended $33,000 on that day, and he doubted if the detendants knew what any portion of it was ex- pended fur. With regard to, the novel THEORY OF UNCONSCIOUS COMPLICITY he would remind the jury that a switchman was recently convicted in Newark for accidentally turn- ing a switch the wrong way. ludge Randoiph in charging the jury said that Bumsted could not act forthe other members of the Board so as to convict them as aparty to a contract with Robertson unless ten other members. had specially authorized him to act for them in that particular matter, or unless they afterwards, with full knowledge of the facts, adepted his act as their own, THE QUESTION FOR THE JURY was whether the defendants were cognizant of'an agreement with Robertson from the fact that Busted spoke to Robertson abeut it, and irom the fact that Bumsted and the other members of the Board met from time to time to transact thetr public duties, Ifthe jury had any doubt that sumsted made the engagement with Robertson without the knowledge of the defendants eee, Were bound to render a Verdict of acquittal. If the defendants, at the time of voting the payment of $2,00u, did not know that the contract had not been regularly ad- vertised, their vote would not make them liable. If Gre voted inadvertently they were not re- sponsible. The jury went out at one o’clock, and the District Atvorney, alter they had retired, moved that the trial of all the other indictments against the Board of Public Works be postponed till the next term of Court, as BUMSTED EVIDENTLY KNEW MORE about these transactions than anybody else. The case just tried established that fact. Mr. Williamson and his associates for the defence insisted that Bumsted could not be a witness for the State in these cases; but the Court corrected them by stating that there are two or three ways in which Bumsted could be a witness. Mr. Winfleld said it wasa great hardship to the defendant to have to come to the Court day after day. The Court, in view of the near approach of the next term, decided to postpone the trial of the in- dictments till then, The District Attorney entered a nolle prosequi on the indictments 100 and 151, which charged the Board of Public Works with maintaining a nuisance on Grand street. Mr. Dixon moved that the remaining three tn- dictments against the Police Commissioners be discharged. 1t wa: A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT that every man charged with crime snould have a speedy trial A year had nearly elapsed since those indictments were found, and the public prosecutor should discharge his duties with great diigence In such cases as those. Jt was all ver yell to say that every man is innocent till prove aulty, but that is not THE NEWSPAPER THEORY. ‘These men see their naines in connection with these charges bandied about 1m newspapers from day to day. ‘The District Attorney replied with some warmth to the soft impeachment of counsel jor the de- fence, and Judge Randolph came to the rescue with a handsome compliment to the District aor ora for the remarkable ability, zeal and courtesy wit! which he discharged the duties of his office. The Court had never yet heard the slightest murmurs against him on the score of ungenerous treatment of any person with whom he came in contact in his oma capacity. Mr. Dixon immediately plucked out the sting by disavowing any intention, &c., and harmony was again in the ascendant, He moved that something be done in the cases of THE FIRE COMMISSIONERS, who had not been tried on any of the indictments ainst them. ‘he District Attorney replied that he would robably move one of the indictments next week. ne of the defendants (Tilden) had placed himself beyond the jurisdiction of this Court.
