BOARD OF EDUCATION. The Question of Scctarianism in Relation to Corporate Schools. WINORITY AND MAJORITY REPORTS. Arguments for and Against Appropria- tions—Seven to One in Favor of the Olaims of the Schools. The Board of Education held a regular meeting yesterday afternoon at the Board rooms, Elm and Grand streets, William H. Neilson, president, in the obair. The report of the City Superintendent, relative vo the opening of the achools aiter the summer vacation, was read. The Superintendent states that the attendance on epening day was 77,976 scholars, of whom 28,184 were in the grammar schools, 48,198 in primary departments, 682 in the colored schools and 912 in the normal college. When breaking up for vacation the total number of pupils was 69,414. Last year en opening day the aggregate attendance was 77,970, or 6 less than this year, but last year there was only one scnool that failed to recommence, while this year the several Gepartments of grammar sohools Nos. 20 and 42and Primary schools 1 and 34 were unable to receive scholars, ewing to repairs being in progress in the school bulldings. Had these schools been able to Fecommence the Superintendent estimates that the aggregate number of pupils in attendance would have been mereased by 5,000. Grammar echool 20 and primary school 1 opened on Monday Jast, though the buildings are still incomplete. Grammar school 42 and primary school 34 have not yetopened. The total number of teachers on the registry opening day was 2,175, of whom all bat 69 were in attendance, and these were absent on account of sickness or some other good cause, The Superintendent further reports that many of the echool buildings were improved during the vacation fame; but that the accommodations in several of the school buildings are still entirely insafficient, notably so in the grammar schools of the Twelfth, Seventeenth and Nine- teenth wards, in which it has been found neces- sary to refuse applications for admission. He also zpcomrmends that Primary School 42, at the corner Ninetieth street and Fourth avenue, in the ‘Twelith ward, be removed to a location where it will help in relleving the excess of attendance in the Beighboring schools. In coucluding his report the Superintendent says:— pate arene bt y Able to rei x a we Frease in our Serr speret ae gill torther augmented cou! modation afforded to the new scholara who have applied for dunission.

APPROPRIATIONS FOR OORFORATE SCHOOLS, ‘The principal business of yesterday’s meeting of the Was the presentation of the reports of the joint committee appointed to consider the im- nt mublect of Sppropriasions. for corporate Behools. en the matter came up in order, Mr. Lawrence D, Kiernan, the Clerk, read the ioliowing munority and majority reports, both of which were laid on the table under the rules, to come up for @iscussion at next meeting :— THE MINORITY REPORT. The undersigned members of the joint committee, to ‘whom was referred the subject relative to a disiribution 918 portion of the school moneys auwong wiiat are Known ‘@s corporate schools, respectiully dissent from the report of the majority of said committee, for the following Feagons :— Firet—Theo seventy-fifth section of the city charter, as amended by section 10 of chapter 757 of thé Laws of 1373, says No money belonging to the elty or city and county it New York, rhisod by taxaticn upon the property. of the flten® tiereot andit Nelappropriated in Mid ob any re- figious or denominational school; neither ‘shall’ an property, real or personal, belonging to suid elty or sa city cept u county be disposed of to any such school, ex- m the sale thereor at public’ auction, giter the spine Bas been duty advertised, at whioh saic said school ll be the highest bidder and npon payment oi the sum pd! into the city treasury; neither shall any property longing to the city or city and county be ledred to any fiboo!, eXcent upot each terms as city property may ve lensed to private parties, after the same has a duly advertised.

The estimates for the coming year are fixed at about $2,300,000. MUSIO IN THE NORMAL COLLEGE.

CREEDMOOR, Detachments from the First and Ninth Regimoents—Shooting Yesterday a Gvod Average. Detachments from the First and Ninth regiments spent the day at Creedmoor yesterday, qualifying for the October contest, The weather was all that could be desired. The shooting was better than the average, when it is considered that the militia are inexperienced in target shooting. A numoer of good shots were on the ground, all members of | the Rifle Association. Sergeant’ Magner, of the \ Twenty-second regiment, made 19 and 25, seven | shots, 500 yards. S. Hollis, who has shot tre- quently in England, made 16 at the same distance, General Shaler, Gaptain Montgomery, Range Keeper Higgs and a number of others, made good scores, The militia were generally very careiul about firing, and no accidents occurred. | lowing are the scores of the twelve beat shots:— NINTH REGIMENT, Swmoweconn! FATAL OOLLISION IN HELL’ GATE. Absence of Lights and Disregarding Sig- nals. Coroner Keenan yesterday investigated the cir cumstances attending the death of Daniel A. Per- Kins, late captain of the steam tug Vixen, who was drowned at Hell Gate early on the morning of the 7th inst., as previously reported in the HERALD. Captain Peck, of the steamer Granite State, was passing out through Hell Gate, en route to New Ha- ven, when he espied a tug, which proved to be the | Vixen, coming in. Captain Peck noticed that the | Vixen showed no lights, as required by law, and, to avoid danger, he gave the necessary signals, which, however, were not answered by Captain Perkins. In a few moments the Vixen collided with the steamer, at which time Captain Perkins and Thom Asni becoming frightened, jumped overboard, the Captain being drowned, while the engineer was rescued, The jury, aiter listening to the testimony, rendered a verdict of accidental drowning. Deceased was thirty-two years oi age aud a native of New York. CENTRAL NEW YORK PIONEER ASSOCIATION, SYRACUSE, Sept. 17, 1873, The fifth annual meeting of the Central New York Pioneer Association was held here to-day, George Geddies presiding. H. ©.

Meeting ef the Town Council—The Ex- ettement Subsi 1g, Though Public Interest is Unallayed=The Inquiry to be Resumed To-Day. Hounriveton, L. 1., Sept. 17, 1873. The town appears to breathe a little freer this morning in the sublime consciousness that it has ‘4n town meeting assembled” given to the world ‘gn expression of its condemnation of the crime which has given the place more notoriety than it had before achieved in ita 200 years of history. AS arule, the people would have preferred the offor- ing of 4 DIRECT REWARD for the arrest and conviction of the persons guilty of the Kelsey outrage, but there appeared to be no law under which it could be done, as it does not seem that town meetings have power toljevy taxes: except Jor specific purposes. Prior to the town mecting, @ mecting of the Board of Town Officers, which consisted of the threo Justices of the Peace and the Supervisor, was held, and the power of the people to take the most direct line of action was thoroughly canvassed. The; then adopted report on the subject, which, it DOW appears, governed the action of the Commit- tee oo Resoluti at the town meeting, though it was not generaily known until the question had beeu so thoroughly examined. In thelr report the Board of Town Officers express themselves as hav- ing been guided by the Jollowing ciause of R. 8., title 2, art. 1, Bec. T:— Special town meetings shal! be held to supply vacancies in tho several cases hereafter provided” They, shail also be held whenever twelve or more persons eligible to ‘he oflice of supervisor of the town shall, by application jn writing, signed by them and addressed tothe town Clerk, require a special town meeting to be called, for the purpose of ruising moncys for the support of comimou schools, or of the poor, when @ proposition to that fect all not have been acted upon at the annual town mcet- ng; oF for the purpose of deliberating in regard to the in-titution, or defence of suits, or the Falsing of moneys therefor, dnd no special town meeting shall have power to act op auy subjects other than such as are specified in this session. Ibis expected that the requisite amount of funds will be subscribed within a week or ten days, THE KELSEY AFFAIR, To-morrow morning the inquest will be resumed at Oyster Bay. PRIME ADMITTED TO BAIL, At midnight of Tnesday, at which time the Court of Sessions at Riverhall was continued in order to enable the Grand Jury to conclude their busivess, Arthar M. Prime was brought up to plead on the indictment against him charging him with per- He pleaded not ity and was re- A motion was then made by John Smith, a lawyer, to admit the prisoner to bail, Judge Reid fixed the bail at $6,000, and the ppacnans father and uncle; Claudius id Henry . Prime, justified as sureties. Arthur Teturned irom his prison quarters to Huntington to-day, It 18 said that the Assessor's books do not show the property of Ulaudius B. and Henry Prime to be worth more than one-fourth of the amount which they swore it was worth when they justified on their bonds, The man Smith who is mentioned above inter- viewed the members of the Grand Jury on Monday evening, to induce them to reconsider the tdict- ment against Prime, bat they saw no reason for reconsideration. One of the witnesses who 1s to be called at the inquest at Oyster Bay to-morrow is @ young man named Edward Joinson. He will testify that on the evening after the tarring and feathering of Kelsey be was in Rovers’ drug store, the head quarters of the tar party; that John McKay came in also, and said they had tarred and feathered Kelsey the night before from his feet to the top of his head, and that they had put so much tar and feathers on him that he looked as though he was three or jour ieet across, Johnson didn’t know nor ask who McKay meaut when he said they had tarred and feathered Kelsey. A witness, named Pat Fagan, who resides near Lioyd’s beach, will be put on the stand also to tes- tify in regard to hearing éries as of @ person in pa which he heard from the direction of the ach about three or four o'clock on the morning of November 5, Ag nearly as I can judge the sound must have reached Fagan from the Bred se point at which Kelsey’s body is supposed to have been put into the boat to be taken out and sunk in the harbor. It ts Tad possible, if anything definite results from "a testimony, that the urisdiction of the criminal legal proceedings will translerred to Queens county. COENTIES REEF, The Work Drawing te a Successful Termination—The Government Scow Placed in a New Anchorage Yesterday. At last the government blasting boat, which for 80 many years has been engaged on and off in at- tempting to remove the reef situated off pier No. 8 East River, or, to give the locality as it is now familiarly known, Coenties Reef, seems to be achieving tangible results. For the past few weeks blasting operations have been conducted bi-weekly, and the government scow in queation, with its wondrous paraphernalla of machinery, of chains and pulleys, now anchored in the East River on the reef, and which has caused during the sum- mer months much vague speculation as to its use, in the minds of passengers on passing ferryboata, promises to give a good account of itself in the removal of the reef. The red flag dispiayed on the boat has also been productive of much conjecture in the minds of hose @n board all passing craft who may have been ignorant that it was the signal for a nitro- glycerine explosion of the submarine rocks, and numerous were the assemblages of peo} who gathered in piers of six, seven and eight to see the rocks of centuries sent flying out of the water, ‘The last explosion took place a couple of days ago when water, like that of a whale spout, was scen ascending into the air, and the effect upon the river was almost tactamoun' on a minor acale, however, to that of the ‘‘bore” Calcutta. This displacement of the water caused @ great upheaval of the adjacent shipping and lasted for two or three minutes. Yesterday after- noon it was discovered that the recent blasts had been most successful, aud derricks and stone- raisers were us in operation to raise the large knob of the reef which had been splintered of by the recent ex- losions. The scow yesterday afternoon came 0 afresh anchorage, in order to be able to make further operations. The government coving ead are desirous of losing no time in remo’ fragments of rock driven off from the main body, and are earnest in their desire to have the matter brought toa successful termination this fall if pos- sibie. The projected picr line, it may be remem- bered, passes in close proximity to the locality of the reef, and Mr. Grabam, the Chief Engineer of the Board of Docks, is understood to be most destrious to have the rocks cleared from the bed of the East River with whe least possible delay. The allowance made by the eee for the prosecution of the work is considered to be amply sufficient, arid hopes are entertained that the year 1878 will see the couclusion of the task of removing Coenties Reef REAL ESTATE. + ntinued Quict in the Market for City Property—Fresh Offerings in the juburbs, The real estate market continues dull in respect to transactions, with, however, a growing inquiry that promises better results in the near future. Business in the auction mart 1s confined almost wholly to legal sales, in so far as city property is concerned, with iree offerings of suburban prop- erty. It 18 & noticeable feature of this market, not of greater significance now than heretofore, unless in respect to its extent, how rapidly re- sponsive real estate outside of the city and within it up town is to the inauguration, how much more 8o to the completion, of local improvements, espe- cially where such bring it nearer in point of time to the business centre of the metropolis, This has been pointed out in the case of recent operations in Westchester county. Similarly is this apparent in the offer to-day of @ large property in West Ho- boken, comprising 110 lots, the particular claims which these poner to the public attention being thus succinctly enumerated by the owners :— “The Hudson County Boulevard ts a settied fact, The final map, locating the route (centrally through the county) has been filed in the County Clerk's Office, and the commissioners are prepar- @mg to prosecute the work with vigor to its com- pletion, The erection of the new elevator to raise the horse cars upon the Heights is being rapidly pushed forward.

Highly Interesting Account of the Treasury Dofalcations by the District Attprney—What Eodman Reveals Concerning the Use of the Trust Company’s Money by the Trustees—Spragne’s State- ment to Alderman Ropes— Conflicting Stories. The Treasury defalcation and the arrest of Sprague, coupled with the revelations of the late deputy of the latter, M. T. Rodman, continue to excite public interest in Brooklyn, District Attor- ney Britton, to whom the press is indebted for the revelations made yesterday, in the published con- feasion of Rodman criminating ex-Treasurer Sprague, desires to make a few corrections in the original statement of the robberies. Mr. Britton states that it was an error to say that Milla agreed to divide the interest on the loan of $55,000 made to Proyn with Sprague and Rodman. Mills sug- gested the loan, as he expected to get the money bapk from Pruyn asaloan, Sprague and Rodman were to divide the interest between them. The loan on the Jefferson car stock was not made to Smith Baker, but to George ©, Hall, of this city, now deceased. With him Sprague had large busi- ness transactions, and the loan was for their Mutual benefit, The loan to the Hope Mutual Life Insurance was not $70,000, but $7,000, Mr, Sprague did not purchase $1,500 worth of Prospect Park Club stock; it was bonds that he purchased. Among the loans which I did not mention yester- day was one to George C, Hall of $56,000. It was really tor the benefit of Sprague and Hall together, Sprague bought with city money $56,000 worth of Erie Junction Railroad bonds, and these securities he afterward used to borrow money from the banks in order to cover his deficiency to the city treasury. There was a loan made to the Jefferson Car Stock Company of $38,000, for Sprague and Hall's jot benefit, which is still unpaid. On the purchase of his house in Willow street he (Sprague) paid $14,000 taken from the treasury. There wasaloan made on Willimantic Railroad bonds of $50,000, at Mills’ suggestion, which subse- quently Rodman took and assumed to pay, he hav- ing purchased the contract to build the road. All these loans were made, with one exception, upon collaterals, and the operation really was 4 FRAUD UPON THE TRUST COMPANY as well as upon the city, because it was money that should have gone into the hands of the company, and they would have had the right to use it. And in this connection Ict me state, what I said before, that there is not a particle of evidence tending to show that any other person than these three, whether connected with the Trust Company or otherwise, had any knowleage that the city money was being misapplied. There were some other small loans made of city moneys by Sprague and Mills, but which, so far as I can discover, have not been made to any public man, and are not of any public interest. In this connection, however, let me say that I made @ mistake yesterday in saying that I knew of no instance in which Rodman had got money directly Joaned for his benefit. That was not strictly correct, There was one loan of $10,000 made to Rodman, on a note, but which Rodman transferred to Sprague, Sprague assuming the obli- ation.

Low is a member of the firm, and is one of the trustees. Mr, Britton says that his examination has dis- clesed no other irregularities, and he has no rea- son to doubt the perfect soundness of the institu- tion. The money taken by Mills and Rodman has all been made good, The charter of the company provides that “no trustee or officer of the com- pany shall procure loans from the company, dl- rectly or indirectly.” Therefore it will be seen that these trustees, Pe dt are Judge Mcvue and Counsellor Edgar Cullen, violated the cnarter, WHO THE BORROWERS ARB, Mr. Harry Beam, who borrowed money, as above recorded, has an account in the Trust Company, and the collaterals he put 2 were of undoubted security, and apy bank or trust company would have advanced money on them. His loans amounted to only two—$20,000 at one time and $10,000 at another—both of which have been, of course, repaid. Mr. Kingsley was a creditor to the Trust Company as a depositor when Mills died. Hoe holds $17,000 of its stock, for which, it is said, he paid as high as 120, He advanced fifty r Cent to make good the capital of the company, foo a3 one of the truates who held himself responsible for $500,000 to guard against all contin. gencies. Mr. Husted is a small stockholder and be seen as a large borrower. He ts the Presi- t of the Dime Savings Bank, a very well known itizen and a man of large wealth. He had been a director in the Bridge Company, but was voted out at the last electiop. Mr. Husted is largely in- terested in gas enterprises in cities outside of Brooklyn. Mr. Fish is the President of the Marine Bank of New York. He is also a considerable borrower. Mr. Low is so well known that it is unnecessary to say anything of him tn Brooklyn. WHAT Tit EXPERT ACOOUNTANT SAYS. Mr. Warren, the expert engaged in making an examination of the books of ex- urer Spragu said yesterday that he had lately discover enough to know that the arrest of Sprague was necessary. An examination of the books shows that the use of the city’s money by nim and Ked- man commenced soon after they went into office, gnd & constant manipulation of the money was pt up until the death of Mr. Mills. rge amounts, time $100,000, would be taken at one it would refunded in smull The defaication was kept balancing down, but there was always a considerable emount missing. Sp: received and receipted for most of the money. He received money as city treasarer which was not deposited in the treasury, and must have known where it went, The in- ference is that he did appropriate it to his own use. THE PRESIDENT OF THE TRUST COMPANY, The President of the Brooklyn Trust Company, Mr. Ropes, was somewhat indignant at the false statements published in several of the mornimg papers. He don’t know, be says, how long they will submit to these attacks, From these reports Brooklyn must look to the outside world like one gigantic den of tiieves, He could not tell what action would be taken. He says: “I have made state. ment after statement concerning the affairs of thix company, ali of which are absolutely correct. Nothing hus been kept back that could in Justice be stated, and yet I have been accused, not only of concealing !raad, but of lying to screen the fraudu- lent, “Nothing, { suppose, will satisfy these people short of my making common cause with them against the city, aud that they understands am not likely to do. TAKING THE FUNDS In regard to the statement made by Mr. Rodman, Mr, Ropes said, ‘I would believe Sprague as soon as IT would Rodman, and, since their statements con- fict, lam vot prepared to accept the confession With implicit faith. Sprague is @ man singularly obtuse as to figures. 1 talked with him shortly after this defaication was discovered.. Raid Ito him, ‘Now, teli me the whole of this; let me know all, let there be no secrets; for, as you live, the truth will be known; 1 want you to tell me pre- cisely how far you have been a party to this trans- action.’ He said to me, ‘Mr. pes, Lam weak because I am wrong.’ Said I to him, “Where are yon weak?’ Said he, “loaning that Orst money to Prayn.”” Said Ito him:—"Did you consent to the taking ot that money from the Treasury?” ‘No," said ho, “it was taken in my absence: and when I came back Rodman toid me what he had done and begged of me to excuse it, saying that it should be mnade up.” “Yes,”’ said J, “Mr. Sprague, that was your fatal error; there you suid yourself to Mr. Rodman; nid have instautly have insisted upon the being returned aod at once dlscuusced 9 amoun' up and man from his ppomaes.” He acknowledged 1 iben sald. tot “Did know anythin, about what has been oe, thet eve dently been a great ‘deal 4 ne a wos wrong?” one tha nod said ne, HH Knew nothing about It.” Now, however, there comes to me the statement of Mr. Britton that Mudiord and Sp: were tak- ers of money from the oy treasury, and that sbat- ters Lo a certain extent the statement made to me by Mr. Sprague; but that Sprague is the sole cul- rit, or that Mr. Rodman, beyond the pocketing of he Interest, had nothing to do with the matter, and that he was led on by Sprague, I do not be- lieve. ANOTHER SIDR, ; There is another side tothis story. The truth probably lies between the two. Mr, Ropes said he had not seen Mr. Sprague re- cently, but had talked with Mra, Borasnay and sbe said she sheusis the exposure would kill her hus- band. His mind seemed to be gin way. His physician had refused to allow him to taik with any person, He was of the same opinion as the District. Attorney, that the only par who were engaged ¥ taking this money were Sprague, RKod- man apd Milla, SELP-EXOULPATION, 98 BROADWAY, New Yor«x, Sept. 17, 1873, To THE EpiToR OF THE HeBALD:— On inquring of District Attorney Britton this morning I am informed that the “$5,000J, B Murrey chcek” alluded to in connection with the Brooklyn Trust Company’s affairs is signed ‘Jacob B.
