THE SECOND BATTLE. Wesey and West Street Market Booths Cleaned Out by the Sanitary Squad—End of the Gutter War—Great Slanghter of Rats Tt is fished. Vesey and West streets had a wecond visit last evening from Inspector Gridley’s ganitary force, armed with saws, broadaxes and ‘rowbars, who have now ended the work of demo- Mtion which they began upon the sheds joined to Washington Market. They have razed all booths and stands in the streets of that neighborhood which encroached upon the street beyond the curb- stone. In the forenoon the Inspector visited the ecene of the intended assault, informing occupants of his orders. Many standholders went at once to work cutting off their shanties or mov- ‘mg them upon the sidewalk so as to leave the gutters uncovered. Others cleared the stands of “their produce and merchandise and stripped away ‘the more valuable portions, as counters, shelves, hooks and windows, Still others continued their ales as usual on Saturday, the best market day ‘ef the week, apparently not giving credit to the Teports of the impending raid. Through the day the dealers who had suffered irom the destruction ‘of their stalls growled about the Board of Health, discussing its powers and the lability of the city for what they deemed its unjust and unlawiul acts, Business was less lively than is usually seen at the close of the week, and of conrse the Health Board got the blame for the falling off, All sorts of queer stories were told of the doings of the sanitary officers, who were reported to have bot led air from the centre of the market and water from the Vesey street gutter, into which a barrel of brine had just been thrown, wnich they carried ‘away for A CHEMICAL ANALYSIS, ‘to show the unwholesome condition of the market. Some of the dealers appeared to have little else to do, and therefore devoted their energies to making sport of the sanitary reform, by which the Health Board are attempting to give the market the ben- eft of hygienic science. CROWBARS TO THE FRONT. At six o’clock fifty policemen of the Sanitary Squad marched down Fulton street, under com- mand of Captain Yulo, Sergeants Lefferts, Holman and Thompson, At West street they took positions around the five meat stands over the gutter be- tween Fulton and Dey streets. At once the butch- ers removed their meats. The laborers came at balf-past six and sprung at their work upon the doomed roofs with wonderful alacrity and vigor. Skylights were the first to receive the attack, the giass flying in all directions, jingling and crashing with deafening din. Tin roofs, playea upon by a Nundred axes and bars, were ly as musical as the glass, with the advantage of @ ionger tune. There was no ashatement in the onslaught till the obnoxious stands were stripped of roofs and walls, Fragments were hurled wildly about and finally pitched rapidly Upon the train of carts waiting to convey them to ‘the municipal limbo. A SLAUGHTER OF RODENTS. ‘When the attack reached the floors there was begun an attempted sortie on the part of the gar- rison of rats. This was resisted with the utmost spirit, not alone by the crowbar and locust brigades, but by the thousands of citizens of all ages, sexes, colora and occupations, who had gathered outside the bine coat lines to see how Sanitary reform works, Tie pincky rats made good running and prodigious dodging; but many B one was leit a stiffening corpse to teil the tale of the second battle in the narket war. WHAT WAS LEFT. Half an hour sufficed to remove the stalls first ettacked, leaving nothing but one new and val- wable icehouse, which the eloquent entreaty of the standholder induced the Inspector to allow him to retain. Where the booths stood remains a truly formidable accumulation of flith, the gutter being full of dry mud and the pavement thickly covered ‘with the same foul and unsavory materfal. SHORT WORK. Less time was devoted to the sheds above the market on West street. Most of these had been partially destroyed by the owners, and a few mo- ments, With lively axes and crowbars, saw their fragments loaded upon the carts. Then a charge was made upon the large sheds in Vesey street, north side, next to Washington street, ‘which had been left entire by their owners. They made a stout but short resistance; and when their @estruction was complete little was left to be done to finish up the long row on the south side, whose Occupants had worked busily from the time the fun commenced tearing down their booths and saving the pieces. So, after many a warning, the sanitary guardians 01 the city have removed from the neighbornood of Washington Market what has too long been an eyesore, an unauthorized encumbrance upon the Streets and an oostruetion to legitimate trafic. An the work of last night they uncovered many Doisome collections of filth, the obvious sources of ‘Dad smelis and unwholesome vapors which never should have been permitted to exist a tnreat to the zene health, though the source whence many a ily was fed. i} THE NUISANCES, Hendering Company’s Boat Still Anchored in the Hudson—Suppression of Smaller Nu: neces. The action of the Board of Health relative to the a@rrest of violators of the sanitary code in the mat- ter of odorous nuisances does not seem to have frightened the nuisance perpetrators very seri- ously. The great offal dock continues to ply its ‘vocation of receiving the refuse of the city from five o’clock until ten daily, those béing the hours © which it is limited by the Health Board, al- though occasionally a load of decayed or dead matter arrives during prohibited hours and is dumped until the boat hauls in and takes it off. The boat remains at her anchorage under the wooded heights of Union Hilland drops into the dock at nightiall, Yesterday a strong wind was blowing from the land side and no smells were per- ceptible, and the dock itsell, except that here and there lay a pile of ashes, barrel of garbage or some other odoriferous mess, looked as cleanly asa Rew floor. Early in the mornings, when refuse arrives and the boat lies at the pier, are the strong hours for the fragrance pecuhar to the business. ‘The Superintendent persists that the smells belong to the city generally and are brought to the dock— mot manufactured there—but that the rendering tank, being hyo covered, gives forth no swell at all, He does not know what the people who com- Plain want them to do, an roposes this neat conundrum to the public:—Where can the boat go and how is this work to be done without odors?” which seems to be a poser to the Health Board, for they give it up. One or two fat meiters about the same neighborhood were suppressed by the inspectors yesterday, and a shed wherein Mc- Neill & Co, render tallow was demolished. The manure dumping grounds continue to send off their manure in great quantities, but the piles diminish siowly. THE HOG BUICHERS, How Pigs Are Slaughtered and the Retuse Thrown Into the Hudson—Pig Shanties Destroyed Yesterday By Their Owners in the Twenty-second Ward— Sixty Thousand Hogs Murdered in a ‘Week. ‘There is asmell of pork everywhere in this dis- trict, running from Thirty-seventn street to Forty @rat street, between Tenth avenue and the North River. In this region there are slaughtered 60,000 hogs weekly, which are transported to these pig pens by the Hudson River Railroad and also by ferry from Weehawken from the Erie Railroad. This is one of the most terribie plague mpots in the city of New York, and the, area coy- ered by sheds, in which the hogs are confined previous to slaughter, extends over eight acres of groand. This hog district is included in the Twen- tieth precinct, which Captain McEIwaine has in charge. He is a capable and modest officer, and hhas done good service in extirnating the fat botl- ers and renderers. The docks in this neighbor- hood are infamous, biown in from the sides is more than enough to sicken the stomach of the strongest and healthiest man, Hogs are killed here at the rate of 160 an hour, and from the time the unfortunate pig is hoisted by the leg into space until ne is cleansed of his hair by being dumped ipto @ vat of boiling water, tien scraped, opened and his intestines taken out, the time is four minutes only, The men at work are stripped to the buff and work in a ter- ribly hot atmosphere. They get thirty cents an hoor for killing and skinning hogs, and some of the workmen receive $3 aday. The boys who sepa- rate the iat from the intestines and han the entrails and Pt livers and lights on @ hoo! are paid less. In most of these establishments Sewers haye been constructed, and the river at the rear of the buildings is flooded with bloody matter and with intestines, which are of no value ince the blood boilers have been removed. Inspectors have been stationed at these docks, from Thirty-eighth street to Forty-first street, tor ‘three days, watching these pork butchers, but very Aittle good has come of it. ‘The inspectors are not treated even with common civilfty in some of the Pod and the lies that are told them by saperin- dents and foremen who have any aut rity fm the pork butchering establishinents are @mply incalculable, The police ander Cay tuo waime told them on ¥rigav tna The terrible stench that ts | NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, have commence deartng pestiiential cholera sheas yoosarday a ten A.

Near the Weehawken shore yesterday & schooner was filled with dead horses which Were being “rendered.” The river must be policed as well as the island of New York. ‘There ts almost as much traffic on the Hudson be- low Yonkers in the Summer months, when excur- sions are included, as there is in Broadway on cer- tain care. The police boats can be used to advantage in this instance. The poiice boats shou!d be com- Hepey to examine every one of these vessels which ie in the stream and the rotten barges whose lower decks are filled with decomposed matter and buckets of stinking biood should be burned along with the barrels used for years to transport refuse and fat, The danger is not so much the reluse matter distributed from day to day after the butchers’ places have been cleaned out as in these old hulks and runes barrels, which, if not de- stroyed at once, will prove @ most fruitful source of distemper in the dog days of August. THE COURTS. The argument to have been heard yesterday by Juage Pratt, holding Supreme Court, Chambers, on the motion to discharge from the House of Detention three witnesses in the Stokes’ trial, on the ground that after they have given their testi- mong in the first trial tney cannot be longer de- tained, has been put off till Monday. The post- ponement was upon application of the District At- torney, who was unable to be present yesterday. Agood deal of interest 1s felt in the result, as 1t determines a new and important question in the matter of detaining witnesses. Myles J. Moyes was brought before Commis- sioner Osborn yesterday on a charge of having secreted certain papers in @ bankruptcy sult. It is alleged that the offence was committed in New Jersey. The defendapt had been arrested in this clty. He had held the position of President of the American Plate Glass Assurance Company of New Jersey. Bail to the amount of $5,000 was given for the appearance of the defendant to undergo an examination, COURT OF SPECIAL SESSIONS. Man’s Inhumanity to Man, . Ebenezer B. Young, a narse in the Roosevelt Hos- Pital, was accused of stealing a coat from one of the patients under his charge. From the testi- Mony adduced it appears that for some time back, during a period extending over two months, the patients in the hospital have been missing various articles of wearing apparel and jewelry, and were ata loss to know what had become of them. Complaints of the matter were made to the warden of the Rosell, and he went to the Forty-seventh Pp ice station and em- ployed Detective wid O’Brien to work up the case. The officer, alter several days’ vigilant search, succeeded in arrest Young as he was coming out of the hospital with a coat in his pos- #easion which he acknowledged to having stolen. On being procene the police station he confessed ta the detective that he had committed all tne thefts which had taken place in the hospital. Af- ter hearing the testimony Justice Scott remanded Young until next Tuesday for sentence, Convey Cashes In. . When James Convey’s name was called yester- day to answer a charge of petit larceny no re- sponse was heard. Officer Barney McGuire, who had charge of the prisoners im the box awaiting trial, looked in the box, but failed to find Convey. He then went down stairs in the prison, but re- turned minus the prisoner, “Where is thé prisoner,” asked Mr. Johnson ? “He died with the jim-jams this morning,’’ re- plied the officer, “Well, I { Sewva he has been sentenced by this time,” said Justice Scott. JEFFERSON MARKET POLICE COURT. Assault with a Pistol. At the Jefferson Market Police Court yesterday, before Justice Ledwith, Frank Haverbeck, of No. 12 Thompson street, was held to bail in the sum of $1,000, charged with pointing a loaded pistol at the head of John Dettmers, of No. 56 Macdougal street, and threatening to shoot him. Attempted Suicide. A girl by the name of Lizzie Patterson was arraigned before Justice Ledwith yesterday, charged with an attempt at suicide. The evidence showed that on Friday morning she threw herself into the North River, from pier 51 She was observed by a citizen, who called the attention of Officer Schrick, of the ago precinct, who succeeded in rescu- ing her, Before the Court she refused to give an: reason for the rash act, but said she did not wi: to live any longer, She was sent tothe Commis- sioners of Public Charities and Correction, TOMBS POLICE COURT. Civil Justice in the Tombs. Justice Fewler has presided, as he has throughout the week, in place of Justice Dowling, who is rus- ticating at the watering places. The number of arrests, a8 compared with, the preceding day, was very small and augured very well for tue increas- ing moral tone of the Sixth ward, Marburger “On the Make.” Sarah Aloame, whose husband keeps 4 cigar store at 142 Chatham street, accused Solomon Mar- burger with having obtained from her $2,600 worth of cigars and tobacco by means of fraudulent representations, Mrs. Aloame stated that on Friday, during her husband’s absence in the country, where he has gone on a@ pediing trip, Marburger entered her store, and, producin what purported to be a letter from her husband, told her that it was an order on her to deliver to him the above mentioned property. She, knowing neither how to read nor write, gave him the goods, believing his statement. The next morning she became suspicious that all was not right and haa Marburger arrested. He was committed for ex- amination until her husband's return, when the truth of the matter will be found out, A Clever Capture. Detective Golden, of the Central Office, yesterday brought to the Court John Heffernan, alias Hof- man, accused of having burglariously entered the premises of Augustus Limbert, at 58 West Forty-ffth street, on the 16th inst. Heffernan, who was in company with another man, at present anknown, on the morning in question, effected an entrance by means of prying off the cover to the coalhole on the sidewalk and then gerting into the cellar. Once in the cellar their ascent through the house was undisturbed, as the family were all away in the country. After remaining in the house about two hours they came out, each carrying a valise. On reaching the street they saw a man running towards them, who wore ® uniform similar to that worn by @ policeman. The thieves, thinking that he was coming to arrest them, dropped the valises and ran off, The man was an employé of the Hudson River Railroad, and was running to the Grand Central Depot to catca o train. The valises were picked up by agentieman living in the house next to Mr. Limbert’s. They contained two velvet cloaks, two silk dresses and silverware, valued at $900. A description of the thieves was given to Detective Golden, and he arrested Heffer- nan on Friday. At the Central Office he gave his name a8 John Hoffman. He was identified by the | silat who picked up the valises, and by Sarah fall, @ servant, who lives opposite yrs fraps, of the burglary, and who saw both men énter Comite out. Another member of the Heffernan family wi arrested for shoplifting some time since, but the Patter was settled without going to trial. “BROOKLYN COURTS. city COURT—SPECIAL TEAM. A Church Choir Scandal=Thomas Spen- cer’s Suit for a Divorce=A Story of Marital Unhappiness. Before Judge Netison, Mr. Thomas T. Spencer, of Brooklyn, has instituted @ suit for an absolute divorce from his wife, Caro- line Taylor Spencer, on the ground of adultery. The plaintiff is superintendent of a New York book bindery, aud the defendant, a daughter of the late William M. Bradbury, is a member of the choir of Dr. Cuyler’s Laiayette avenue Presbyterian church. The couple were married in 1864, and have two children, Mr, Spencer alleges that his wife has been on terms of improper intimacy with one J. Cox Hull, and also with J. M. Wilder, another member of the church choir, Husband and wife separated on the 3d of July. The former alleges that on the 25th of June he found in the possession | of his wife A PHOTOGRAPH OF MR, HULL, enclosed in a letter from his sister, Mrs. Carrie Daken, of New York, and this discovery led to others, which resulted in the present suit, Yesterday the case came before the Court on a motion of plaintiff's counsel to strike out the answer of the defendant, and also on a motion of defendant's counsel for alimony and counsel fee. Mrs. Spencer aiso sues for a limited divorce. She emphatically denies the charges of infidelity, ana alleges that HER HUSBAND COMPELLED HER TO LEAVE her home, leaving her without providing her with the means of support. She defends her manage- ment of the hold, and asserts that her hua- ill temper, parsi- band, by his groundiess jeaiousy, Monidvanrss and ead ‘and neglede. has made her tife a burden and shattered her health. be continues to narrate her alleged wrongs 43 wa :— About the 1st day of March, 1871, one of the children was taken sick with the scarlet fever. She dtrected the servant to go for the family physl- cian; her husband forbade the servant going, and did not and would not allow her to call # physician until the next day, when the disease had made auch progress that medical skill aud attention were unavailable, and in a few days thereatter the child died. On one occasion, when the family phy- sician had presented his bill to her husband for medical attendance he refused to pay it, and re- gabee the physician'to make out a separate bill r his attendance on her and compel her to pay it out of HER SCANTY MEANS. Her husband never allowed her but $10 9 month for servant's wages, even when she had two chil- dren, the eldest of which was only about one year old, to take care of, and any additional help she she was companied to provide and pay for ont of ner own sinali income. Her husband left the houge on the 2d of July, taking the children with him, and that he gave instructions to the ‘ocer and butcher not to deliver any provisions. Three days after the removal of the children he brought back to her the younger child, he having become sick so as to require medical attendance. Ag 10 the means of her husband, Mrs. Spencer es that he has real eatate worth $35,000, and Income of $7,000 per annum. She therefore wants a limited divorce, proper alimony and the custody of the children, Mr. Spencer submitted nis own afidavit, setting forth that ‘HIS WIFB CONFESSED HER INFIDELITY. He further claimed that she was able to take care of herself and child, as she ha the interest on $10,000 left her by her father, over which he (plain- tiff) never kad any control; that she owned $6,000 worth of real estate and 000 worth of personal property, and that she can earn $1,500 a year by singing and teaching. He ciaims that his own income now is but about twenty-five dollars a week. ‘Then there was an afiidavit of a real estate agent, who swore that Mr. Spencer’s real estate was worth from seventeen to eighteen thousand dollars; and an affidavit of a servant girl employed in the family, who swore that Mrs. Spencer was & poor housewife, An affidavit of John J. Alston testified to Mr. Spencer’s good conduct ana the recklessness of irs. Spencer, who stated to deponent that she had ‘considerable dislike and hatred towards children,” Mr. Spencer finally submitted to the Court the following letter, which he swore he received from his wife through Edwin Crawiord on the 28th A WIFB’S APPEAL, My Hosaanp—It is of no use to write to my mother; she will never have mercy; only from you can mercy come. She is too tull of the disgrace to. herself and the prospect of her marriage broken off, She says she will not marry Dr. Taylor to bring disgrace to his family. If you put she away I can ouly $0 and hide inyself. What We are none of us know. Mother will never recognize me nor have anything to do with me again hope of it. Taw writing calmly, but it is th despair. You alone, by being merciful to me. this disgrace. Mothor never had anv mercy on me, even from a child; my childish errors were always treated as you saw me treated this morning. My repentance was never believed Inj she always turned from me as hard sa rock; never in her life hassiie taken me to her heart and said, “You are my daughter with all your sins; she does not know what it isto have mercy. If you, my husband, will but show me the mercy I ask God knows how gratefut I will be. My mother is nothing to me com- spared with you. Iwilldo asyou say; I will write her ¢ letter, but 1 HAVE NO OPE OF MERCY, no expectation of ever seeing her again.’ T have lost my mother more truly than if she were buried, From the first knew how it would be, Iknew she would never stand by me. i should nave been moved to the greatest gratitude had she loved me even go little in my trouble; but I did not expect it. I knew her too well. Mr. Dyer, too, told me that she would leave me should she know it: T cannot suffer more than Ido. It seems but little to tell her if it will afford you any satisfaction; but I tell you now she will not show mercy. You think a mother’s heart is all tenderness towards her children, and because she bore thom she will always love and forgive them: My mother is not one of that kind; she istoo hard. Did ‘ou hear her say that it was all a farce when she saw how you were suflering? Had she any mother's feeling? Could she have lett me as she did without a word? GOD BELP MK, 1 AM DESERTED, I will write hor but afew words, for I know it will be of no use, Rather than have her upbraid me I would never see her again.

She will not stand by me even’as long as you would. Direct the letter for me, I cannot, and pray God to ineline your heart mercifully toward your wi I n to write so long a letter to mother, but as I wrote it all surged over me what a hard mother she has been to me, and I could not keep it baek. Judge Neilson reserved his decision as to the motion to strike out the answer, and the farther argument on the motion for alimony, &c., was postponed until next Thursday. BROOKLYN TRUST COMPANY. The Official Statement of the Directors—The Pres- ent Pecu: iary Position of the Bank—What IsThought of the Statement by the Directors and the Publ. The publication yesterday of Receiver Chaun- cey’s official statement of the financial condition of the affairs of the Brooklyn Trust Company has afforded the first opportunity since the suspension of the formation of a judgment as to the status of the company as a trustworthy financial institution. The statement was not published until noon, far toolate on a Saturday for any mature opinion to be obtained outside the directorate. The prevail- ing impression, however, among the real estate men and financiers that a HERALD reporter met with yesterday atternoon was this—that with so favorable a pecuniary condition the company ought never to have suspended payment, and that the act of suspension must either be the result of demoral- ization or the knowledge of something more than has yet been revealed. Judge McCue said yesterday that he ‘never thought there was any real danger, and never thought there was any necessity for sus- pension.” It 1s much to be regretted that he could not inspire his colleagues with the same confi- dence. If this roseate statement of the company’s affairs is reliable there seems to be no financial reason why the company should not resume pay- ment on Monday morning. Judge McCue states that, “although we should lose Mr, Milla’ over- draft, Mr. odman’s overdraft, the total amount of the Georgia bonds and the Willimantic bonds, we should have stili $100,000 clear over ali habuities.”” Stopping payment then, according to this, was the resuit of panic, and it was the general opinion, openly expressed yester- day, that if the directors had had this knowledge of the position of the company the panic would have been allayed in a few hours. On Monday the stock- holders will meet to decide upon what course shall be taken as to the future management of the in- stitution. Confidence in the business capacity of the directorate has been greatly impaired, itis sald, by some of the stockholders, and there must either be a restoration of confidence in the present ett) crag or a new directorate must be ap- jointed, z The following is the statement as issued by the directors yesterday :— THE STATEMENT, The receiver of the Brooklyn Trust Company, for the information of the depositors and stockholders, begs leave to submit the following statement of the affairs of the said company as the same appear upon the books:— Aawets, United States bonds, par-value $252,000, worth.. $294, Brooktyn city bonds and securities at par Elizabeth city bonds, $30,000, at 92 27,800 New Lots, Kings county, bonds, at par... 5600 $17,000 Hanntoal and Naples 'Kailroad bonis, “first mortgage, at 84. hee Cr saw Hamibal and nd cn it 75. ‘ * . 15,000 sh equipment ten pe: age bonds pei sel . + 20,000 25,000 Lafayette B. and M. bends, at 21/250) 25,00) Latayette M. aud B. bonds, at 36 21,250 Total teeeeerees Bilis rec’ . red ns gc Bonas and mortgages, considered Cash in banks........ ie Pemand loans secured by collaterals, rae BSR aha Total... ae To which ‘is to be add York Bridge Comp ina few days. which 31,643 Add overdratts 01 Mills, ‘Add overdratts of Mr. Rodman, ee ++ $3,963,007 Liabilities, Capital stock.

UPTOWN ASSESSMENTS The Beal Estate “Bear” Market—Rich Folks Stricken with Poverty—People Who Will Sell Out Cheap—“Go East” There was quite a large attendance of Nineteenth ward property owners yesterday, at the chamber of the Board of Supervisors, to examine the asseas- ment rolis of their property. The Committee of Supervisors—Messra, Koch, McCafferty and Cooper—were present, and the hearing of com- plaints was resumed at eleven o’clock. It should be understood that the present assess- ment lists were not made up or prepared by the new Board of Assessors, but are the work of the old Board, which went out of existence with the appointment under -the new charter of the present Commissioners. These assessment books were closed by law on the 80th day of April last, the day on which Gov- ernor Dix signed the new charter. The present Board of Assessors was not appointed until nearly or quite & month later, so that whatever merit or fault may be d ered in the assessments may be ascribed justly the old Tammany régime, As to the benefit to be derived from the present investi- gation, or indeed as to the power of the committeg or even of the whole Board of Supervisors to alter the assessments, opinions differ widely. <A HERALD reporter yesterday conversed with Supervisors Cooper and McCafferty on the matter, and while Supervisor Cooper expressed himself in the most decided manner to the effect that there could be nothing done by the Supervi- sors to remedy the manifestly improper and irra- tional assessments of valuation of the property, Supervisor McCafferty asserted that the Board can remedy it and will do so. While there isno doubt whatever that a large proportion of the property in the Nineteenth ward has been assessed without reference apparently to any definite rule or principle of valuations, it ‘was quite treely asserted yesterday that ex-Alder- man Terence Farley is, sud rosa, making a good deal of the hubbub in reference to Nineteenth ward real estate. He is a vey. heavy owner im that t of the city, having purchased “sunken lots’? by the dozen up there when the; were “cheap as dirt,” ten or filteen foe ago. I was at one time a matter of current history that at nearly every meeting of the Aldermen, six or seven ears ago, Terence used to submit resolutions directing the Board of Health to havo filed in, at public expense, “with good and healtny earth,” certain of these “sunken lots,” which were desig- nated, That real estate has certainly appreciated very much in value since then, but Mr. Farley, it is understood, does not believe his property 1s worth as much as the assessors do. The following are some of the complaints made yesterday :— Mr, William Gamble complained that his house on Seventy-first street and Third avenue was as- sessed at $7,500, an increase of $2,500 over that of last year. He regarded the valuation as excessive. ‘The next complaint was made by Thomas Reilly, the owner of houses Nos. 1,091 ani 1,093 First ave- nue, who stated thatan old stable, built on the rear of one of his lots, was valued at $1,700, The houses were valued at $5,500, while others that brought in more rent were set down at only $4,000, Rey. Charles Keyes said he owned a house on Forty-fourth street, near Third avenue. It was as- sessed at $11,000, while a larger house on the cor- ner was assessed at only $7,000, Michael Casey possesses property in the neigh- borhood of Eighty-frat street aud First avenue. Lots valued in 1869 at $800 are now valned at $1,500. A lot-valued in 1870 at $900, and on which he had built a house costing $6,000, is now valued at $10,000, He could not now, he said, get a mort- gage on it for $6,000, muel Holmes said he owned a house on Fifth avenue, between Eighty-fifth and a ila streets, which was valued at $40,000, while an ad- joining one was set dewn at only $35,000, He pro- vested against the injustice of the vaiuation. Owen M. Gowen owns several lots on Eighty- fourth street, between Lexington and Fourth ave- nues. The value of each lot has been raised $500, while the property has, he alleges, decreased in value more than that amount. Mrs, Harriet Denning, owner of a house in Seventy-second street, complains that the valua- tion this year 18 $1,500 more than it was last year. David Leibold has property in First avenue, be- tween Eighty-first and Eighty-second streets. The assessors have got his house and lot down as worth $10,000, and his rentals amount to but $900 per Bo He thinks his property is worth about 38, 000, RC. Ferguson said that his lots on Eighty-fifth street, near Madison avenue, which were assessed St $4,000 in 1872, are now valued at $7,000 each. John Gilligan complained that his house, No, 227 Fast Seventy-ninth street, was assessed at $8,500, although he did not consider it worth more than George W. Douglas, of Fifty-second street, be- tween Fifth and Sixth avenues, owning six lots, said that Jast year they were valued at $27,000, while this year the amount had been increased by $6,000, Tne lots, he affirmed, Would not sell for so much in the market to-day as last year.

Ackerman, of Forty-fifth street, be- tween Fifth and Sixth avenues, made a bea? int that last year his property was assessed at $11,000, whereas this year It has been increased to $12,000, no improvements having been made since, Edward Henry, of Seventy-third street, between First and Second avenues, owns four lots, which last year were taxed at $800 and this year at $1,250, He did not see any reason for the increase, as the street in which the property is situated has not been opened.

Supervisor McCafferty asked what avenue the property was nearest to and Mr. Evans replied, “Near Madison.” “But,” continued Mr. Evans, “what I find fault with most is that lots of the same size as mine, and located nearer to Filth avenue, are assessed at a valuation of about two thousand dollars less than mine. I always understood that the nearer they were to Filth avenue the more valu- able they became.” “Who was the assessor ?’ inquired Supervisor McCafferty; “give us. his name; it ought to go into the pepete r “Well, his name was Wagner,” replied Mr. Evans, “and he said property was more valuable up there as you east.

ALLEGED MALPRACTICE, A Married Woman the Victim—Arrest on Suspicion. Yesterday afternoon Coroner Kessier was called to the house 109 Delancey street to investigate the circumstances attending the death of Mrs. Pauline Unger, 4 German woman, thirty years of age, who died the day previous.
