TWEED’S TRIERS. Charges Made Against Five of the Jurors in the Great Suit. What District Attorney Phelps Says About Them—Affidavits in Existence Impugning the Character of the Jurors—Spe- cific Denial of the Charges by the Jurors Themeelves, Mr. Tremain Interviewed About It. ‘The result of the Tweed trial is still the general topic in everybody’s mouth, The action of the jury 4s variously criticised, and charges even have been made that one ofthe jurors was an “ex-convict,” another a “bummer from the docks,” ana a third a “mock auctioneer.” With the intention of finding the facts as to the allegations a reporter of the HERALD went up to the house of Mr. Benjamin K, Phelps, the District Attorney, at 101 West Forty- peventh street. Mr. Phelps saia he was willing to give any information within his power, What District Attorney Phelps Says. “Charges have been made,” said the reporter, “that some of the jurors on the Tweed trial were Bot what they might have been.’’ The reporter then went over the charges as above. “Yes, I saw these charges,” answered Mr. Phelps, “and I can only say that they are nothing new to me. I have heard the same thing before.” “Have you any objection to tell me who they re- fer to among the jurors?” “None whatever.” “Who, then, is referred to as a ‘mock auction- eer?! “Mr. Hamtin; he is the only one who could be referred to in that way, as he 1s the only one who stated his business to be that of auctioneer; I on’t know exactly what he does; I believe he sells horses or something of that kind, but I don’t think he does a business as an auctioneer, but he gave that as his business on the trial when he was asked about his occupation.” “And the ‘ex-convict.’ Who does that refer to?” “Mr. Roche,” said the District Attorney. “He i into some trouble down South about counter- leiting stamps.” “And lastly, the “bummer around the docks.” Who does that refer to?” “Mr, Parker, who gaye his business as that of oysterman on the trial: Mind, I am not certain that these charges are true. I only know that they have been made and repeated again and again.” “Are there any others who have been spoken of as men of bad character?” “Yes, there are two others; but I do not care to give names.” “Now, it is further said that some aMdavits nave been made preferring certain sworn charges against some o! the jurors. Have you such afti- davits?” Yes,” said Mr. Phelps; ‘I have them in my pos- Bession.”” “Gould you give them for publication 9" “No. Ido not think the time has come yet to | publish them. They say enough, and yet they do | not say enough.” “But of what use are these aMdavits ? If you can establish bad character against any of the jurors will it give the power to question the verdict ?”” “No; it will not give me the power to touch any Of the proceedings of the trial, though had I known | the character of these men during the trial I cer- tainly would have objected to their being placed upon the jury, alleging their bad character asa reason, But these afildavits do not refer to the previous character of the jurors, but allege that some of them were approached during the trial, and allowed themselves to be approached, These are very grave charges to make, no doubt; butif they are proved to be true they will do very much to show why such disagreement took place among the jury on this trial.’* “And do these affidavits specifically refer to Messrs. Roche, Hamlin and Parker ?” “They do and to two othe s I before said.’ “That these jurors were approached while acting on the jury, and that their action was governed in consequence * asked the reporter again. “Yes,” answered the District Attorney; “that is about the sense of the afidavits, But 1 expect to get some more facts still more explicit.” What the Alleged Ex-Convict Says. The reporter saw Mr. Roche and asked him as to the story of the counterfeiting stamps which had been alleged against him. Mr. Roche told him his Btory, a8 follows :— “In 1869 I was a detective in Richmond, Va., and proceeded against something like four hundred persons for violating the Unitea States Revenue laws, and had a great many of them ‘put through.’ After some time I retired from the service of tne United States and went into the to- bacco business myself Of course I had made a good many enemies while a Getective, and as soon as 1 was in business for Myself there was a good deal of feeling against me. Imanufaciured tobacco and had to put the stamps on my packages. I in this way had to buy @ good many stamps, and one of my clerks one day bought a large lot. I have since had reason wo believe that this clerk was in the conspiracy which ‘Was put up against me. The stamps he had bought ‘were, of course, used in my factory, and I sold a number of them te a man who wanted some; doing this to oblige im, for I forget what reason. Shortly after I was arrested, and then all the people whom I had made enemies of came down ‘upon me, and I immediately saw that the charge I had at first thought very trivial would become a serious matter. I was indicted, und at last brought up for trial. The Judge and the District At- torney knew the conspiracy which had been Made against me, and they advised me to plead guilty, as the easist way to get out of it, and not to go through a trial, which would only make my case worse, and in which Heaven knows the amount of false swearing me. Idid plead ‘guilty,’ and after doing so was on the spot pardoned fore I had lett the Court, No sentence was pronouaced against me and no in- dictment now exists against me. This is the onl; thing of the kind I have been in in my life, and can bri the District Attorney of Richmond and any number of persons who know me to swear to ‘these facts,” “And you deny that in any way you were in- Muenced by an indictment being heid over you?” “Most certainly. There is no indictment in ex- istence against me.” there would be against ‘What the Alleged Mock Auctioncer Says. | The reporter interviewed Mr. Hamlin. Mr. Hamlin said that his business was selling horses | and buggies, &c. He wasin the habit of calling himself an auctioneer, and did business which was equivalent to this vy selling goods to the highest vidder in his line. His business was a genuine one, and he bad no cause to be ashamed of it. He said he aid his duty on the jury according to his oath, and he believed every other man on the jury did the same. The Alleged “Dock Bummer.” ‘The reporter then werft tosee Mr. Parker, who had been called a bummer around the docks. He ‘Was not to be found, but from persons who did business with him the reporter learned that Mr.” Parker sold oysters on commission, having a business of his own at the foot of Lattie Twelfth street and North River. The informant said that Mr. Parker had always done business fairly with him. Before being in business for him- self Mr. Parker had done work for others in the oyster business, working here and there on wages, ‘Dut that he was not known asa “bummer” any more than all men who work for oystermen. He supported a wife and family by his work. ‘he reporter spoke to another of the jurymen on the Tweed trial, who sald that he never heard any of these charges against the above jurors made before, and that as far as his experience went they appeared to be honest men. ¢ HERALD reporter then went to interview Mr. Lyman Tremain, one of the prosecuting lawyers in the great suit. What Mr. Tremain ys of the Jurors. “You have seen the statement, Mr. Tremain, I Presume, about the jurors in the Tweed suit, that one. was @ ‘mock auctioneer,’ another an ex-con- Vict, and still another @ ‘dock bummer?” “Yes; Ihave seen the statement,” said Mr. Tre- main. Vhat can you say about the truth Of this “Thave every reason to believe they are true.” “You are not, then, satistied h ine yery rs with the character “No, sir, lam not. Ido not wish ¢ distinct charges of corruption; wut 1 ca aay that ain persons ON it did Hot suit me at all.’? T why aid you not object to them g avery ple reason—that in cases \- demeanor the jaw oniy allows three chadlenmes and when I had exhausted these, why, ! had tore. main powerless. This is my objection to the new Jury jaw—that while in capital charges the law allows thirty challenges in ail felontes which are not capital, and in misdemeanors the law allows only three. I think this is a very grave inadvert- ence in the law.” “Bat how did such men of alleged bad character get on the jury list 7” “Ah, this is not a matter in our power. The law jaces very great power in the Commissioner of yuroré, He has the only supervision of tue jury | .

He has no right to take any others, Yet in this case I have, personally, no doubt that men were on the jury list who ought never to have been placed there, and, unfortu- patel some of them got on che jury in the Tweed rial. “Can you tell me who were the particular men referred to as above?” “I do not wish to do that. I do not care to make any specific charges against individuals.” . “The juror who has been, it is said, referred to as the ‘ex-convict’ says that he pleaded guilty to a certain charge of counterfeiting stamps, and adds ne ib Roving nee a SPHHIpeO-up charge to do him injury was pardoned,” unin he say he was pardoned immediately” “Yes, before he left the Court. “Hum!” said Mr. Tremain doubungly, and he et laugh. Berwin you not state whether this was so or not?” “No, Twill not make any specific charge. ButIl v “aus abOU have my own ide: the Be ate ane, “And you Will not tell me who that are referred to so pointedly?’ “No, Ido not care to. The prosecution knows that some things were not as they should be on that trial. But I think it is of doubtful policy for me to say what these things are, though they may come out afterwards.” LARGE ISSUE OF BONDS. The New York and Harlem Railread Place New Consolidated Railroad Mort- gage Bonds to the Amount of $12,000,000 on the Market. Considerable excitement was created on Wall street yesterday afternoon by the announcement that the New York and Harlem Railroad Company was about to place upon the market new consoli- dated mortgage bonds, couponed and registered, to the value of $12,000,000, the bonds to be due May 1, 1900, with interest at seven per cent semi- annually, This extraordinary issue of bonds, as stated above, was the cause of surmise and speculation, and many were the theories advanced to explain it, The one which found the readiest acceptance was that the issue was in some id connected with the Underground Railroad and the scheme of rapid transit, at the head of which is Commodore Vanderbilt. In order to ascertain whether there was any foundation tor this rumor, a HERALD reporter was despatched last evening to call upon a gentleman who is promi- nently connected with the Harlem road. 1 fol- lowing conversation occurred :— “T have called to ascertain the meaning of the coupon issue of bonds which the New York and Har- Jem road announces this afternoon.” “Well, lam afraid I cannot give you mucn_infor- mation as I have nothing to do with the finance part of the road, but I suppose the loan is like any other railroad mortgage bond loan and is intended to take up the outstanding securities of the road.” “Has the issue got anything to do with the Under- ground Railroad “Not that I am aware of. You know that we are sinking the tracks of the road from Forty-second Street to the Harlem River, and that requires money, but except you call this an underground railroad, I know of ho other that the issue of bonds will alfect.”” “Then the issue isin no way connected with rapid transit ?” “No, The Rapid Transit Company is an entirely different corperation from the Harlem Railroad. The Rapid Trausit Company kas at its head Mr. Vanderbilt, and it is expected to run from the Har- lem Railroad, but beyond this the two companies are entirely different. When the proper time comes the rapid transit scheme will be able to stand upon its own bottom, and will be engi- neered by friends of its own without calling in the aid of the Harlem road. As I said before, I cannot exactly state what the issue of bonds means, but I believe I can assure you it has no con- nection with rapid transit.”” $ the gentleman did not seem to be anxious to ew ay more information the reporter left. Two million, doliars worth of the bonds will be placed upon tile market the 20th of February. No proposal will be considered unless accompanied by a certified check for five per cent of the amount paid for, REAL ESTATE MATTERS. Activity Among Brokers—Several Heavy Private Sales Effected—In Relation to the Industrial €xposition—Renaming of Streets by the President of the West Side Association—Breadway Widening To Be Commenced At Once. Yesterday was a very heavy day among the dealers, notwithstanding the heavy snow storm, which kept many people away from the real estate centre. Nearly every prominent broker reports more or less sales, at high figures, which strongly indieate a buoyant market and a good demand for unimproved preperty. The folowing gales have been reported to us as | having been closed yesterday :— By A. C. Lamson & Son—Four lets on the south side of Ninety-third street, 151.6 feet east of Park avenue, 98,6X100.8 feet, and four lots on the north side of Ninety-second street, 151.6 feet east of Park avenue, 98,6X100.8 feet, joining the above, making | lot of 98.6x201.5 feet; price $47,500. Also six full lots on the north side of Eighty-fifth street, having a Park entrance, 100 feet east of Ninth ave- nue, sold together for $36,000, HORACE GREELEY'S WILL. Miss Ida Greeley Withdraws from the Seane dalous Litigation and Declares That She Will Not Permit the Lawyers to Figlit Over Her Father's Grave. Probable Admission of the Will of 1871 to Probate. Miss Gabrielle Greeley Endorses Her Sister’s Course. The ‘Daughters of the Great Publicist to Inherit a Fortune of $300,000. The Children’s Aid Society Squabble for the Dead Man’s $10,000 and Refuse to Renounce Their Claim. ‘ Tha scandalous Greeley will case has at last practically terminated, Yesterday morning pro- ceedings were again resumed in the matter before Surrogate Coffin, at the Court House in White Plains, The fugacious and persistent Isaiah S, Wil- liams appeared on behalf of the two remaining ex- ecutors ofthe will of 1871, Richard H. Manning and Charles Storrs, Samuel Sinclair having renounced all his rights as the third executor a month since, and in addition he also acted as counsel for the Children’s Aid Society, who have not made any compromise or renunciation of the claim for the legacy of $10,000 left by the will of “1871, Mr. Joseph H. Choate, who has been working very hard for an amicable arrangement in the matter, and Judge Hart appeared on behalf of the two desolate orphan girls, Miss Ida and Miss Gabrielle Greeley. The Surrogate, who evidently expected to have the pleasure of sitting several days longer, was considerably surprised to find MATTERS TERMINATE SO SUDDENLY. None of the members of the Greeley family were in court; but R, H. Manning, one of the executors of the old will, and John C, Ferguson, who was a witness to the execution of the will of 1871, were present. The latter is an old, farmer-like man, Mr. Alvin J. Johnson, Mr. Greeley’s old iriend, was also present, as were & small army of reporters, and Mr. O'Dwyer, late private secretary to Horace Greeley. The Surrogate having adjusted his spectacles, Judge Hart arose and said :—If the Court please, this protracted, dis- agreeable investigation is about drawing to a close. Ihave no desire to revelin the infirmities of any man, living or dead. We have, I believe, on one side exhibited a spirit of conciliation from the beginning to the end of this case. When we were informed that the rights of the YOUNGER DAUGHTER OF MR. GREELEY were contended for we conceded everything as far as we knew how and all that we could. We gave at once a deed of one undivided half of that property to the younger daughter, though the counsel sitting by my side was perfectly satistied that the will of 1872 gave her all that we could give her by any deed, and he was sstisfied not only of his own judgment and opinion, but, after consult- ing with some of the MOST EMINENT LAWYERS IN THE COUNTRY and that a concession of that kind would tend to peace, it was then suggested that Mr. Greeley had relatives who were entitled, under the will of 1871, to that which they Would not receive under the will of 1872, and we conceded to these relations everything they asked for, They gave us are- lease—a discharge in full—so that that objection to the willof 1872 was removed. We then under- stood that the Children’s Aid Society had resolved solemaly at one of their meetings that they were NTS IN THIS LUTIGATION 5 for, though they did not renounce, their claim to a share in the Tribune stock. We alterwards determined, on consulting out of Court with the friends of these young ladies to make a further effort to arrange this business, and We suppose it had been arranged, An eminent gentleman of the press, whois now for his health in one of the Southern States, gave us to nderstand that an arrangement had been made with the executors that would By John McClave, No, 1 Pine street—Four lots on | the south side of 128th street, 425 feet west of the | Seventh Avenue Boulevard, each 25x100 feet, and | four lots on the north side of 127th street, adjoin- | ing the last named, together eight full lots, for | $28,000, Also four lots on the southweat corner of | Eighty-seventh street and Eleventh avenue, cach | 25x100 feet, for $23,000. Likewise two lots on the | east side of Eighth avenne, 25 feet south of 148th street, each 25x100 feet, for $4,000 each lot. Five full lots, situated on the southside of Eighty- fifth street, 175 feet west of Eleventh avenue, were sold at private sale by the owner, Mr. John H. Powers, fo: 000 each, and this is considered on the “street a bargain to the purchaser. Mr. John S.

It is, however, stated by responsible parties that the project will certainly be carried to @ successful issue, unless some unfore- seen circumstances arise over which the projectors have no control; consequently tt may be said, in the language of the lawyers, that “matters con- nected therewith remain in statu quo.” A lew days must develop whether we are to havea “World's Fair’? that is to be a credit to the great metropolis, or allow Philadelphia to beat us and make New York take a back seat, | i OF BROADWAY. | Nort 18 in carnest regarding this much needed improvement and “meuns busi- ”? a8 will be seen from the following letter he | yesterday to the Common Council; Derantuent ov Puniic Wonxs, Commrssto; 237 Buoapway, New Yor Gexturmex—In order that the full benefit and straightening Broadway between Thirty-sec West Of a W. ed shan Fifty-ninth street may be realized ax soon as possible by | the public and property owners who have been heavily as- | sessed for the improvement, it will be necessary for body to determine the manner in which it shall h lated and improved, directing the work already taken procee he speedy removal of all buildings and parts ot buildings encumbe ng Broudway between its newly-established lines, by the | sile of them during this month ; and it seems desirable that the proper iegislation b should be completed soon as possible in order that the contracts for the rmance of the other work yet tobe done be , and the remainder of the work be commenced rly as May next. Very respectfully, GEORGE M. VAN NORT, Commissioner of Public Works, RENAMING OUR UPTOWN STREETS AND AVENUES, The Executive Committee of the West Side Asso- ciation have made a report, bestowing names upon str above Centrai Park and below 156th street, ¢ publication of which has caused the utmost dis- satisfaction and indigationf{among the real estate in- terest generally, The nomenclature of these thoroughfares is strictly on the snob order, demon- strating strongly a predilection for and an aping of English names, that sound highfulutin and aristo- cratic, Thas, for instance, the Eighth avenue, bordering on the Centrgl Park, is to be dubbed the “Westbourne.” Ninth @venue, as well as the Tenth and the Eleventh, from the point where they cross Boulevard and Seventy-second street, along the area between the Central Park and the Riverside Park, is to be designated “Glen- denning avenue.” Tenth avenue, from the Boulevard Seventy-second street over the Manhattan Valley, is to be known as “Fort George avenue.” Eleventh avenue is to be exchanged for “Bloomin, le avenue.”’ The new avenue between Boulevard and Riverside Park shall be “Claremont avenue,” and thus further on in the list, which em- braces the names of “kiverside avenue,” “Morn- ingside avenue,” “Albany road,”’ “Grange road,” | “Fordham avenue,” “Westchester aven “Knowlton avenue,’ “Edge Hill road,” “Am: way,” “Undercliff road” and “Bonny Brae road.” our Knickerbockers are pleased with these new-fangled names of the principal streets, instead of the plain pumerical designations by which they have grown to importance and princely vaiue, is Hot in our province to say; but one fact 1s positive, that there will be considerable protesting done belore the new names are likely to become a reality, Itis to be hoped that in christening our el terminate this litigation, But it seems there was some misunderstanding between them; that the executors did not understand the management as that gentleman understood it, and he is away and Ihave not had an opportunity of conferring with him to know what might be said ON HIS SIDE OF THE QUESTION. He had from time to time adjournments, and, I believe, at cach adjournment some conference has been had. Every etfort has been made to bring this matter to a peaceful termination. Our efforts have not proved successful. Having striven to kis this matter toaclose on some terms that would be satisfactory to the friends of the youug ladies, We have determined to bring it to a close whether the terms be satisfactory or not. The business of counsel in this case has been a diffiewt business, because many friends of the daughters of Mr. Greeley exhibited GREAT ANXIETY CONCERNING THEIR WELFARE. There are some who desire we should contest this case at all hazards and to any extent, and would not be satisfied with this compromise, Others are urging us strenuously to peace. Distinguished gentlemen and warm personal triends of Mr. Greeley urge us te proceed with the litigation while We were about to terminate it, and suggested the employ- ment.of Mr. Evarts in this case. ‘there was no objection on the part of those who represented either of the Misses Greeley, for Mr. Evarts would have not only been received, but his counsel would have been needed. His partner, Mr. Choate, at the last hearing of this case, so Jar from adviing a@ further struggle, concurs with usin our opinions. The counsel are har- monious and concur fully on the subject. We think that this business ought to be terminated, Not that we shrink from having every act of the life of Mr. Greeley, FROM HIS BIRTH TO HIS DEATH, BROUGHT BEFORE the world, It is my honest opinion that all de- velopments of everything atfecting his life would be better for him and for his memory, protided we could have fully and fairly presented ‘it. But that was impossible. No two men view the same thing alike ; and come to the same conclusion frema certain state of facts, One man would say of Mr. Greeley that he fell into a peaceful mber, and another, a8 a witness on the stand stated, would say that he F BACK INTO A STUPO! cribed differently from different standpoints by honest men.

No, noteven to A memory which is ed. With thanks to very kind efforts you nd sister, 1 remain, IDA L. GREELEY. The communication was on a sheet of deep Mourning note paper, with the monogram of “1. LG.” engraved thereon, On the fourth page of the note paper was endorsed in a school girl's loose chirography the following :— have all mad with much respect, V Ijoin my dear sister in the sentiments of this letter, ABKIELLE GREELEY, The production of this note from the two desolate orphan giris, daugbters of aman who haa filled @ larger space in Aterican history than any other man, excepting George Washington, created @ deep and profeund sensation in the court room. “As ds”? RISES TO EXPLADD At this juncture Mr. Alvin hnson arose to make an explanation, and said that some feeling had resulted from the fact that in his evidence he had stated that Mr. Greeley, while in a state of de- rangement had told him that there was no brains in the conduct of the 7rivune or in the head of its editor, Whicelaw Reid. Mr. Johnson stated that he had heard Mr. Greeley express confidence in Mr. law Reid as the then edjtor of the Zribune, ad heard him describe MP Reid as a man of merit and capacity. Thisexplanation was objected to by the counsel for: Mr, Greeley's daughter, and the Surrogate ruled that the explanation was not calied for and had no bearing on the subject of the will, Mr. Jolinson then rose and said, Welly then, I beg pardon, and I take it all back,” after which | Hew avenues up town there will be mere euphony | observed than in bestowing the nawes op the gates of our noble Central Park, he s&t down and said no mo; THE GREELEY WILL, Judge Hart said that they were prepared to show st which our opponents are determined shall | where the will of 1872 was found in Mr. Seales: own dwelling by his own triends and to show that it was made by Mr. Greeley in person. In pur- suance of our instructions in that letter we with- draw not aly as counsel, but we withdraw, on be- half of our client, the proponent of this will of 1872. How far the infant may withdraw will rest with her own counsel to say. It is suggested tuat I should state that her withdrawal is substantial! im effect that a decree should be entered mitting the will of 1871 to probate. Now, in the spirit of the woman mentioned in the Holy Serip- ture, who, when it was ested by the judge that her child be divided asunder, preferred to give its custody to an entire stranger, the proponent in this case withdraws, and leaves it to you, gentle- men, who I presume will act worthily in the con- duct of their sacred trust, and does it because she would not draw from their re those infirmities which should sleep and sleep forever. THE “PIOUS” CHILDREN’S AID SOCIETY. Choate then arose and said that he Mr. would like to say a word in relation to the sition of the Children’s Aid Society. rhe said they would neither renounce nor compromise their claim of $10,000 at present, If it were shown to them that Mr, Greeley's estate had lessened since the making of the will of 1871, they would abate their claim correspondingly} “Bat,” said Mr, Choate, “this arrangement wou! not be satisfactory, as Mr. Greeley had provided for public oharine out of the surplus of his estate. It would be manilestly unjust, under such circum- stances, for the Children’s Aid Society to press their claims.” A communication had been received from the society manifesting their determination. Isaiah T, Williams, the counsel for the Children’s Aid So- clety and for the remaining exee¢utors of the will of 1871, then spoke, MR. WILLIAMS AND HIS “INSANITY.” Mr. Williams said :—It is known to the Court, as Well as to wane friends on the other side, that the executors of Mr. Greeley’s will have made no reply to the attacks made on us, nor have they uttered a word in self-vindication. Their idea was that the testimony in this case would be the best vindica- tion of their course. The remarks that have been made on the other side have this tendency—I will not say this parpoee — “Our will of 1872 is mght. It was dear to the children of the deceased, and was dear to the de- ceased while he lived, but being encountered by a set of men who were strong and determined, while we are weak and feeble, we relinquish it; and, in short, we back down from the right, strong and true position because we don’t see fit to make de- velopinents touching the character of the de- ceased.” LT entertain a different opinion on all this matter; there can be nodact developed that will not re- dound to the credit and fame of Horace Greeley. “DEVELOPMENTS. ”? It is ten thousand times better, in my judgment, for his fame that the truth should be known to the public than that the public should rest upon the miserable falsehoods whieh have been pus forth during the last week of his life. We are prepared to show that he was not only not in a fit state to make a will, but that his mind was irretrievably gone. For six or eight weeks before his death his intellect marched steadily downward, each hour growing feebler and feebler. A portion of the time he was im charge of two strong men, who were only ade- quate to retain him within the proper limits, Acase of acute mania of the extremest kind visitea him during the last eight days of his life. ‘This will, executed at an hour of that existence— if it could be called an execution—in which he says, “It is not my will,’ though when he was asked subsequently, he feebly answered, “Yes,” Was not a will fit to be admitted to probate. The counsel spoke for some length and with acrimony in regard to the menval condition of Mr. Greeley in his last days, and stated that betore his death he expressed himself satisfied with the ecient of $10,000 which he had made in favor of the Child- ren's Aid Society. HORACE GREELEY’S FORTUNE, Mr. Willams also stated that they estimated the estate of Mr. Greeley at $206,800. | The counsel then applied to the Surrogate to have him grant testamentary letters or the will of 1871, which application was denied by the Surro- gate. Surrogate Coffin stated that he would give his de- cision as to the wil) of 1871 wituin one week hence. The will of Mrs. Greeley, admitted to probate some time since her death, be- queaths to her two daughters property in vaiue over one hundred thousand dollars. ‘This, in addition to the estate of Mr. Greeley, even after the legacy of $10,000 to the Children’s Aid Society should be administered upon, will leave the two daughters in possession of jortune equally divided of $300,000. Miss Gabriel Greeley is not bearding at the Convent of the Sacred Heart, as has been stated, but is attending school at the pri- | vate Episcopalian and Ritualistic School of St. Mary the Virgin, in Forty-sixth street, New York. The elder sister, Miss Ida, is staying with her uncle, Mr. Cleveland, at No. 12 College place, in this city. A good deal of Mr. Greeley’s property is in Pacific Railroad bonds and other valuable stocks, During the will contest consid- erable sectarian animosity has been displayed. : ‘The following renunciation of the executorshtp of Mr. Samuel Sinclair was yesterday gi press by the other two executors :— “SAMUEL SINCLAIR RENOUNCES.”?

Deta’ of the Arrest of Pomeroy and York—York’s Antecedents—The Excite- ment After the Vote. {From the Topeka Commonwealth, Jan, 30.) Great excitement existed yesterday over the somewhat unexpected change which came over the spirit of the Senatorial dream. Our regular pro- ceedings give an indication of what transpired during the joint session of the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Kansas for the election of a United States Senator, After the joint session had dissolved and each House had adjourned the immense crowds whtch had thronged Representative Hall throughout the morning and afternoon repaired to the city, where everything was instantly transformed into a state of “confusion worse confounded:” The various hotels and other places of public resort were crowded as they have never been crowded before, and the scene on every hand was without a paral- Jel in the history of Kansas or any other Common- wealth, Conversation ran high, strong language was freely indulged in, and at times tt seemed as if a general melée would be the inevitable dénone. ment. Colonel York, the leader of the anti-Pome- roy element, was the lion of the hour. He was be. sieged by friends, and congratulations were prof- fered on every hand. Reporters flocked around him anxious for'an interview and entreating him for a synopsis of his remarkable speech, aan in the evening the immense mass at the Teftt House were startled by the announcement that Senator Pomeroy had just been arrested for bribery. The news spread quickly over the entire city, and the particulars of his arrest were soon in everybody's mouth. The warrant for his arrest was sworn out at the instance of Captain D. L. Payne, and was served by Sheriff Thomas, of this city. ir. Pomeroy promptly appeared by counsel and gave bail in the sum of $5,000 for his appear- ance before the Judge of the District Court on Fri- day next at two o'clock P. M. His bondsmen were Theo, Mills and Alfred Ennis, fof this city. Hon. A. H. Horton and Hon. G, W. Glick, of Atchison, and Alfred Ennis, of Topeka, appeared as counsel for Mr, Pomeroy. At the Fitth Avenue Hotel there was another scene. The friends of Hon. John James Ingalis had assembled there to congratulate that gentleman upon his success in the Senatorial contest. Mr. Ingalls took to it kindly, and by his every action demonstrated his gratitude to the people and Leg- isiature of Kansas for the honor which had jest been conferred upon him. While his legions of friends were wild with excitement and loud in their demonstrations of jubilancy,'Mr. Ingalls ac- cepted their congratulations ‘unexcitedly, but, warmly and feartily, ana merely remarked to his friends, “Boys, we will have a new deal and a square one.” Later in the poate | @ warrant was issued by Justice Evans, of the First ward, tor the arrest of Colonel A. M, York, charging him with accep’ bribe. Mr. York appeared jor trial, accompanied by Colonel 8, A, Cobb, W. A. Johnson and B. F, Simpson as attorneys. The prosecution desired to withdraw the case, but Mr. York insisted on a trial, and subp@nas were accordingiy issued for Senator Pomeroy, A. A. Horton and others, Alter an ex- amination of the faw, however, it was found that the clause making it an offence to accept a bribe had _been repealed, and the case was consequently withdrawn, Mr. York discharged, and an entry to that effect made on the docket. During the pro- ress of the trial Mr. Glick stated that Mr. Pomeroy fla not deny the statement made by Mr. York be- fore the Legislature. A Public sentiment is very largely against Mr. Pomeroy, but in justice to all parties we will say that Mr. Pomeroy denies having given money to Mr. York a8 a bribe, This is all we have been able to ascertain in relation to the defence to be made | by Senator Pomeroy against the charges of corrup- tion which have been preferred against him. The facts and all the particulars will, doubtless, be fully developed on the trial, which has been set for Friday next, Some of York's Antecedents. The Jefferson City (Mo.) correspondent of the St. Louis Republican says :— Colonel A. M. York is a native of the State of New York, and held the rank of Colonel in a regiment of colored men during a part of the late war, After the close of the war he removed to Shelbina, Shelby county, Mo., Where he engaged in the practice of Jaw, real estate and the publishing business with Colonel John W. Shater, who served in the Legis- lature during the past two years as the representa- tive from Shelby county. Colonel York was a radical of the blackest dye, and publisl the Shelby county He one of most proscriptive papers in the State. contributed his efforts in pring the vote of Monroe county to Pat Dyer jor Congress against en to the | Switzler, After the election in 1870 Colonel Yor! together with a Mr. Yoe, who was also former!, connected with the Shelby Herala as the practic: business man, removed to Montgomery county, Kansas, where he began the publication of a re- ublican paper, and the step appeared too easy m this position to that of Senator of the peas State of Kansas, one of whose bleeding wounds he has sought to scab over. From the editorials in the Kansas papers re- ceived last night it wouldseem that the Kans- ang are anxious to canonize York. The fol- lowing, from the Fort Scott Monitor, is a specimen of the praise showered upon him :— Senator York's briluant exposé of S. C. Pomeroy— we do not use the title “Senator,” for he can no er be considered a representative of the State of Kansas—was a that was likely to give York a fame far wider than our State boundaries, and make for him a national reputation. Indeed, aman who, in a single half hour’s ) annihilate a United States Senator—tear down a fabric that been twelve years in reoring, and whose foundations were thought to be on the solid rock ef Executive favor, forming one of the “pillars of the administration,’ and with asingle breath, as it were, scatter it in dust to the four winds of heaven—would in all times, ancient or modern, be considered a worthy candidate for the brightest laurels of fame and have a niche hewn for him in the temple of immortality. Kanras owes him a debt of gratitude that only her choicest lavors can repay. BROOKLYN BRIDGE. Monthly Meeting of the Board of Direc- to sed Amendments to the Chanter of the Company. Yesterday afternoon the monthly meeting of the Board of Directors of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge Company was held at the office of the com- pany, corner of Fulton and Front streets, Brook- lyn, Senator Henry ©. Murphy eccupied the chair. There were present Park Commissioner James 8. T, Stranahan, ex-Congressman Barnes, J. H. Prentice, Judge McCue, Isaac Van Anden and J. H. Marshall. A letter was received from General Aspinwall, tendering his resignation on account of prior de- mands upon his time, The resignation was accepted. The report of the Executive Committee was read and adopted. The report of the Committee on ‘Charter Amend- ment” was taken up. It recommended that the counsellor of the company prepare a bill to be sub- mitted to the Legislature, which shall contain the following suggestions :— The Mayor and Comptroller of the City of New York and the Mayor and Comptroller of the city of Brooklyn. shall each annually nominate a member of the Board, making tour additfonal Directors in all, who shall hold their oMees at the time of the annual election of Direc- tors, who shall be members of the Standing Committees and have a night to vote on all questions therein. These Directors shall make quarterly reports of the ex- penditures and operations of the company to the Comn- mon Councils of the two cities, The meeting of the Board of Directors shall be public. ‘The Board shall have power to forfeit stock not, owned by either of the two cities far non-payment of instal ments, after publication of thirty days of the delinquent stock. ech, could ally ‘The report was bag by R. A. Schroder, Abram 8. Hewitt, William Marshall and A, McCue. MY. STRANAHAN was desirous that the “two cities’? should be thd woth in the direction of the Board in proportion to the amount of subscrip- tion. He felt satisfied that there would be no more sabscriptions from private citizens. Mr. Hewitr remarked that subscribers ought not to be relieved from unpaid balances, and that they were liable to make good the deficiencies. Mr. BARNES said that he had at all times favored asmaller representation and was of the opinion that this was about as faras they could go. He suggested that all meetings of the Board be open to the public; no sub-committee to be privileged to make any purchase or contract exceeding one thousand dollars in amount. All amounts over that figure should be advertised in the four princt- pal papers in Brooklyn and New York for two con- secutive days, the bids for the same not to be opened within twenty days after the commence- ment of said advertisement—all bids to be opened by the Secretary of the company. Records of all committees to be open for inspection, Considerable discussion ensued upon a motion to refer Mr. Barnes’ suggestions to a.committee. The suygestions were asl, referred to a committee consisting of Messrs. Stranahan, Barnes, Hewitt, Marshall and McCue. SS MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. Married.
