The case has been referred by the Judge to Mr. George F. Betts, Cierk of the Court, to take testi- amony and report to the Court. THE LELAND BROTHERS’ BANKRUPTCY. The Grand Union Hotel of Saratoga. The matter of the proceeds of the sale of the Grand Union Hotel of Saratoga came on for settie- ment of the decree yesterday before Judge Blatch- Jord, This long litigated case occupied ten days in argument in Newport, before Judge Blatchford, Jast September, and a great many counsel were engaged init.

Mr, McMahon got a decree tor his clients for $130,000 out Of the proceeds of the sale of the Grand Union Hotel. The decree is too lengthy to insert; but it May be stated that it sets aside a list of second mortgage bonds on the property, among which are weventeen houds for $1,000 each belonging to Mr. A. T. Stewart. THE GREEN-FOLEY FIGHT. A Knock Down for Green. The injunction fight between Foley and Comp- trofer Green was yesteraay again renewed before Judge Barrett, in Supreme Court, Chambers. Foley came up to time, looking very contident after hav- ing Grawn the first biood in the match of the pre- vious day. Green played off well and finally threw in a heavy blow, resulting in a knock down of Foley. Corporation Counsel Smith said that the papers im the case were served on him ouly three days | ago and he had not had sufiicient time to examine mto the merits of the case. As to the clerks, | Whose salaries were sought to be stopped, he claimed toat they were cierks in the Comptroller's office, whom the Comptroller had the righ: to a point and pay; that they were entitled to their Salaries and the same should be paid out of the general treasury. Mr. Dyett said that it was distinctly charged in the complains that these clerks were no; the clerks oi the Comptroller, but that they were ap- inted by the Comptroiier and the City Chamber- ain in collusion, to periorm work which should be paid ost of the jatter’s salary. He insisted that unless affidavits were submitted in substantiatio: of the Corporation Counsel’s statement they should not be paid by the Comptroller. Mr. Smith urged that the clerks were innocent {| parties and had done no wroug, but simply the | work assigned them, and were eniitled to tneir pay. Mr, Dyett said that Jomptroiler had never | yetobjected to anybody's salary being held ba | but put every possible obstacle in the way of their | getting it, from a washerwoman to a judge. Now, | when it was sought to prevent for a jew days some of Is own employés tre ing their salary he becomes alarmingly tender @ sympathetc. | The Comptroller objects that Mr. Foley seeks | ‘To bring a slovenly, unwelcome corse Between the wind and his nobility. | After some further argument Judge Barrett, who seemed at first inclined to restrain the payment of | the salaries, decided that they might be paid, imas- | much as the Comptroiler, who appointed and paid | them, could be held responsible to the city if there | | Was any illegality in bis conduct in the matter, He also gave the Corporation Counsel to the 11th inst. to prepare his answering papers.

As #0 much speculation has been indulged in regarding the knowledge of the Nathan case pos- sessed by John T. Irving, a representative of the HERALD yesterday called upon District Attorney | Phelps to ascertain how much reiiance is placed upon the alleged confession. The District Attorney | was found seated behind his desk in his office, | about two o’clock, and when the reporter entered he was engaged im the consumption of a sand- wich, er Mr. Phelps, with his usual politeness, bad pushed a chair to the reporter and suspended the Junch, the reportet said:—*l have calied, Mr. Phelps, to see you as tothe Nathan case. Do you any importance upon Irving's statements?? Mr. Puelps’ blue eyes opened widely, and alter biting the sandwhich vigorously be said :— | “We are investigating his statements with a | View of getting at his knowledge. That is alll can say at present.” “AS lar as you have communicated with him ; | have his statements been borne out by investi- | wation?”? | ‘his question rather perplexed the venerable | prosecuting oficer, who again called in the ser- | vices of the ham sandwich to give him time to Irame a response. Finally he said, in substance, “that Irving had communicated statements that were deemed of sufficient importance to silt to the bottom.” : “Have you seen him to-day? It is stated that you were to have a further conterence to-day.” “No,’! responded Mr. Phelps. Are you at liberty to state whether you have nb aby means to find out what is kuown by Tilly Mr. Phelps hesitated and answered negatively, when the reporter ventured:—‘1 suppose, then, that Mr. Matsell has?” Mr. Phelps was silent. “Well, do you attach much importance to his in- formation ¢ “He has made known certain things that justify fhilinquiry, We are trying to verify them, and if I | os that lis information is not correct I will drop 1m, UDDERZ0COK’S TRIAL. Prosecution Producing Evidence | Identitying Goss and Tracing the Mur- | derer—The Insurance Authorities in’ Court. West CnestERr, Pa., Nov. 1, 1873, THE KELSEY IMBROGLIO. The Implicated Parties From the Tar and Feather Region in Court—The Jurisdictional Tangle—Which County Wants to Prosecute!—All Hands Released on Light Bail, Jamaica, L. L, Nov. 1, 1873 The hearing before Judge Armstrong, of Queens county, on the motion to discharge from arrest the persons implicated by the verdict in the Kelsey case, and who have been held for four days upon the commitments issued by Coroner Baylis, of Oyster Bay, was resumed here’ to-day pursuant to adjournment, and the whole of tne defendants, ten in number, who had been released on their parole, appeared promply on time. In ad- dition to these Mr. Arthur 1. Hurd came on from Huntington and. surrendered bim- self, and went through the formal process of arrest. The eleven persons are Koyal and Ru- dolph Sammis, Dr. 8. H. Burgses,John and James T. McKay, Claudius B., Arthur M. and Henry R. Prime; William J. Wood, Dr. George B. Banks and Mr. Hurd, Mr. Charles W. Brooke, of the firm of Garvin, Fellows & Brooke, of New York, appeared as counsel for the defendants to continue the jurisdictional assault begun by Colonel Fellows on Wednesday, and at ten o'clock ail the parties were present at the court room in the Town Hall, There Was quite & numerous attendance of spectators, anxious to see che persons involved in this very extraordinary case, and almost all were quite as- tonished to find that the prisoners were as respect- able appearing a ‘body of men ‘as any who were present in the whole auditory—men of soit voices, good features and gentle manners, and varying in age all the way from twenty to sixty-two, The case was opened by Coroner Baylis commit- ting the parties to Queens County Jail, a mere formal act, by handing two commitments to his constable, the lean and hitherto loquacious ‘Doo- tor’ Tappen. The dignity of the occasion seemed to awe the old “Doctor” yesterday, however, and he remained extremely reticent. In the Coronei’s court at Oyster Bay he always felt as though he was important, but not so here, He seemed anx- jous to get rid of his charge, as though fearing that in THE JUMBLE OF ARRESTS and jurisdictional questions he might next find himself in custody. Mr. Brooke at once drew up two writs of habeas corpus directed against tne constable, one em- bracing the names of six and the other of five of the defendants, as included in the separate writs of commitment. These set forth in the usual torm that the relators were held without authority, and so forth, and were made returnable iorthwith, Ex-Judge Snedeker, appearing on behalf of Con- stable Tappen; at once made returns to the efect that he held the parties named in the writ by virtue Of a warrant issued by the Coroner and subject to committal to prison. Mr. Brooke at once traversed each of the returns, alleging that the verdict upon which warrants were issued did not show that the relators had committed any crime against the laws of the State; that they had not committed any offence cognizable by or conferring jurisdiction on the authorities of Queens county, and, lastly, that it did not apbear that they had committed any crime known to the law. Upon this he moved for their discharge from custody. Judge Armstrong said that while it was made peremptorily bis duty under statute to issue the writ of habeas corpus on presentation of the peti- tion therejor, the STATUTE WAS EQUALLY PEREMPTORY in holding that in a case where parties are held by one county for an offence committed in an- other county, no order shail be made for the dis- charge of the persons so charged, until at least two days’ notice shail have been given to the District Attorney of the county in which the offence was committed. I thereiore order and direct that such nouce be given to the District Attorney of Suffolk county. Mr. BROOKE replied that while it was his desire to conform to the statute in every particular re- quirement, he wished the Court tanotice that the principal element of the traverse was the claim that the county of Queens had no jurisdiction, and in this state of tacts he insisted that the relators were entitied to a discharge absolute or to an order remanding them to the autnorities of the county having jurisdiction. Judge Armstrong replied that he could make no order uotil the rule, requiring notice to be given to the authorities of the county having jurisdiction, had been complied with and he would therefore remand the relators to the custody of the officer ae them in charge at present, Mr. Brooke said, ‘1 ask your Honor Leste aha § the interval during which such required notice was to be given, the Court wou!d admit the parties to bail. J will further state to the Court that I have just been iniormed that District Attorney Tuthill of Suffolk county passed through this town an hour since ON HIS WAY TO NEW YORK; that he was aware tliat these proceedings were to be had here at this time and that he distinctly stated that he did not mean to attend or be present.” Judge Armstrong—And I am also informed that he stated that, though aware of this proceeding, he had not been officially notified, and, therefore, declined to be present. I have, therefore, ordered now that he be regularly notified. To what time do you wish this adjournment, for nouce to be given? Mr. Brooke said that would depend upon the question of bail and the manner in which the ap- plication thereior was entertained and decided by the Court. He specially desired the Court in fix- ing the amount of bail to take into consideration the, as yet, very vague natare of the charges against these reiators, as well as the fact that it Was questionable whether this Court or county had ANY LEGAL JURISDICTION of them at all. In addition to this it was within the cognizance of the Court that these parties had all appeared promptiy twice beiore it on their re- spective personal paroles, and that Uhree of them had gone to much personal trouble to appear vol- uptarily and place themselves in custody without rendering arrest nevessary, After some further discussion Judge Armstrong said:—“I express no opinion now whatever upon Franklin Mills, @ fellow boarder with Wilson at Newark, was the first witness in the Udderzook | trial to-da, He recognized the ring and identified the photograph. James R. Williams, a manufac- turing jeweller, of Newark, testifed that he knew Wison and that Wilson offered to sell the ring to ; he identifed the ring and described its pe- wharities, differing from any he had ever seen. On cross-examination the witness said he recog- nizedgbe ring by its peculiar make, and also be- cause he noticed when it was first shown to him by Wilson that it had been cut aud soldered again tthe back; he noticed this peculiarity because | wus poorly done; witness has been in the jew- ¥ or fliteen years, Michuel O'Donnell, a iéllow boarder, recognized ‘alive, having examined it on one occasion | 1 Wilson wanted to “swap” with him.

A button found in the shirt was shown | | him, and he identified it as the one he presented to Wilson. He also inentified the photograph as a likeness of Wilson. Augustus @ Sawrie, of New York, @ fellow boarder of Wiison, identified the. gaiters found with the body as closely resembling those worn by Wilson. Wiison had them half soled in Newark, and borrowed an old pair of boots to wear in the meantime. He recognized the photograph and also the ring.

Ss, Goss had been insured in several companies to the | amount of $25,000, and that Udderzook had tesit- | fled in @ suit against the Mutual Lile Insurance Company that Goss had been burned to death by the destruction of a store in York Koad, Baltimore county, and that Udderzook afterwards enticed Goss, allas Wilson, to Baer’s Woods, the place of the morder, Pending the argument, the Court adjourned until the afternoon, whole matter was trumped up and w con- spiracy to saddle bim with the parment at ‘e iene made to his brother individually, He avmitted that the business was carried on in his name, but claimed that that was only a cover, and that it was | in fact the business of Nathan, who, being insol- vent, could not conduct it in his own name. The evidence was so contradictory that one of the jurymen inquired, while Joseph was on the stand, Whether the witnesses regarded the fort of | their oath as binding. | Ex-Judge Cardozo, for the plaintif, ably argued, among otser things, that whether ‘the business ‘Was really the deicndant’s or not, ii he heid him self out as the proprietor of it, and the plaints | knew that and lent his money for the purposes of the business, and the money was used in it, the | $ defendant was lable. So the Court ruled, and the jury accordingly found a verdict for Judge Vardozo’s client lor $400, ‘We full amount. TOMBS POLICE COURT. Before Justice Fowler.

Scudder and Daniel R. Youngs, anu on the second Frank Crossman and Isaac Rogers, all of Huntington. It must be un- derstood that the ball is not $5,000 for each indl- vidual, but upon each commitment, or $10,000 in all, the gureties justifying in double the amount, It was subsequently agreed upon by Court and counse! that the adjournment should be to Tues day, November 11, and under these circumstances it iy a ittie doubtful whether the matter will again come up in Queens county, as by that time the Sufoik county Grand Jury will either have found indictments against the parties or will have dis- missed the complaints. The Grand Jury at Riverhead reported to the Court, Judge Barnard presiding, at half-past eleven o'clock on Friday night, to the effect that they had not yet finished their labors and desired leave to sit again. The request was granted and an ad- journment was given until Weanesday next. CRIME ON UNION HILL A Prominent Physician at the Point of Death—Was He Murdered? The people of Union Hill, J, have been in- tensely discomfited during the past week over a rumor that Dr. De Grom, a prominent physician residing among them, had been shot by a’ well N, known individual named Columbus. What adda to the agitation is that the doc- tor’s friends stoutly deny the shooting, and avow that he had been ji prior to the reported occufrence and is still suffering from inflammation of the Jungs, A few years ago De Groff was Columbus’ Jamily physician, and during the doctor's visits itis said that an improper in- timacy arose between him and Mrs, Columbus, The husband, irritated at this, moved to New York, and Mrs. Columbus, with her two daughters, moved to the residence of De Groff, and have lived with him ever since. On Monday evening last Colum- bus crossed the ferry trom New York, and pre- sented himseli at the doctor's door. ‘the owner of the house drove him away with much eee Columbus threatened to murder De Grom. hether he did fire at him or not remains amystery; but rumor has it thac he did. Since then De Groff bas been so ill that no person ia allowed to visit nim. There are turther disgusting reports concerning the friendship alleged to exist between the doctor and the daughters, but nothing definite can be ascertained. doctor's friends declare the whole ; but the extensive rumors in regard to it would seem to Warrant an oficial investigation. De Groff was delirious and | in danger at a late hour last evening. THE WATERTOWN MURDER. Warentown, N.

The Aldermen Repent Having Appropriated $2,500,000 for the Project—Mayor Have- meyer Denunciatory—He Stigmatises the Measure as a Swindle— Meeting of the Aldermen. The Board of Aldermen met yesterday in special Session for the purpose of taking action on a mes- sage from his Honor the Mayor, in relation to the loan of $2,500,000 appropriated by the Board of Aldermen, The call for the special meeting was signed by nine members, At the hour of meeting all the members answered to their names except Aldermen McCafferty, Kehr and Koch, The reading of the minutes of the previous meet- ing were, on motion of Alderman Cooper, dis- pensed with. The President of the Board, Mr. Vance, then announced a message from His Honor the Mayor, which Clerk Pinckney read as fol- THE MAYOR’S MESSAQ Mayor's Orrics, Nuw Yo To Tne Honorabux Tum Board or ALD ap GxxtieweN—On the 23th instant your honorable body adopted, by & vote of 12 to ‘on the part of the city loan of Exhibition Company. tuken wy @ resolution authorizin 500,000 to the Industrial Your action in, this matter was of chapter 784, of the Laws of pon the authori am advi that under the pro- Common Council of the Mayor, confer upon the Comptroller the statutory authority to issue the bonds of the city and raise the amount of the proposed loan, If this view is correct T ain by this stature deprived of the opportunity of explain- ing, by a veto message to the Council, my views upon the subject of the resoiution—a privilege and a right secured tome by the charter—as to all other resolutions of any description which require the joint action of both Boards. It was not until after you acted upon the resolution re- ferred to that I ascertained that the question was raised as to my right to consider and pass upon the same betore it ‘could take effect. If the matter Lad been brought to my knowledge before your meeting of the 28th inst, I would have communicated with you specially on the subject. There are, in my judgment, good reasons why this burden should not be undertaken N the city, and £ have, therefore, respecttully to request that the matter be reconsidered by your honorable b oy.

It has no property, no tunds ot any description. Debts, have been contracted in its name which itis unable to pay. In fact. itis the scheme of a pure adventurer ‘which, in bis hands, never was intended and never will become a public benefit, To this company, or rather to this adventurer, the city isnow required by the resolution before you to loan & sum of $2,000, The Comptroller, in virtue of this resolution, if concurred in by ‘both Boards, Provided the ' Mayor's approval required, can be compelled by mandamus to issue the bonds of the city to an amount sufficient to raise the re- quired loan, and pay over the same, upon receiving a mortgage upon the premises, to be purchased by a partof the mouey loaned. In ali other statutes the Comptroller is prohibited trom selling the bonds of the city under par, ‘This statute contains no such prohibition. The Comp: troller must sell the bonds for whatever they may bring, aud he must sell sufficient to raise at the rates sore: ceived the {ull amount of the required loan. Upon these bonds the city must pay interest at the rate of seven per cent; but for two years no interest is to be paid by the company upon itsmortgage. The statute makes it com- pulsory upon the Supervisors to raise annually by tax an Amount sufficient to pay the interest of the bonds issued, and also to pay the principal of these bonds when they tail due, clearly showing that it is never contemplated by the company to repay the loan, to meet or taxe up the city bonds issued to ratse the same. After the promoters of this undertaking have suc- ceeded in securing to themselves the enormous loans in the purchase scheme, taere remains but a sum of $750,000 Of the loan to be appiled to the payment of the expense of the erection of the proposed building and to pay all other expenses of this corporation. In this city we have had some experience as to the art of erecting public buildings There isnot one of your honorable body who en- tertains the idea that the proposed building can be erected and the objects of the company carried out for this sum of $750,100. It will take upwards of $5,000,000 to do 40, and ‘rom whence is this money to be obtained? Eitner the buildings will never be erected, or, it they should, it is contemplated that this will be done ‘at the further éx- pense of the city, authorized by further legislation. { cannot forget the zeal which has been largely manitested by some personsin the mterests of the taxpayers against any turther increase of the city debt in the matter of the Proposed erection of a new city prison—carried on under the supervision of the, ofticers ot this city—and I trust that a little of that zeal will now be shown by your hon- orable bedy to put an effective stop to this undoubted swindle, tor which, It the city’s moneys are once parted with, you will find no one responsible. At present we have enough of public undertakings on hand—our undnished public works on the upper and west side of the island; our unfinished Court House, the Brooklyn bridge and our museum and exnibition bulld- ings under the charge of the Department of Public Parks. All these works are carried on by moneys raiset upon the bunds of the city, and there is and has been tor some time @ loud outcry against any increase of the pub- lic debt. Tam iniormed by the Comptroller that, owing to the present stringency in the money market, he ex- periences considerable difficulty in raising the moneys Fequired tof carry on the works in progress, and this, therefore, is not the time to fasten upon the city this fure ther and most uncailed for public burden. ; There are no parties desirous for the promotion of this scheme at the public expense other than the inter- ested speculators who are to profit by the undertakin, and afew who are controlled or deluded by them. have been waited upon by many citizens holding large mterests in the city who have protested to me in the strongest manner against the proposed loan, and I am satistied the teeing of the community is sir ugly against e scheme. Tam, informed that the capital, of the compan: 9,000,000, of which $1,000,000 has been subscribed, that an ‘additional subscription has been ma $500,000, contingent upon the company securing from the city the loan now sought I am further informed that $200.00) of this subscription, has been paid iu) for , which stock is tobe issued xt fifty cents on the dollar, and the stock for the balance of the subscription Is to bé js not $3,000,009, while the requirements of the Various departments are litte in excess of this year. The increase in the estimates is made up of State tax, Fourth avenae improvement, increased interest on debt and additional bulldings required by several of the departnents. Assuming the valuation of property, real and personal, subject to taxation, to remain as at sent, the Increased estimate, ail’ oi which has been allowed by the Board of Apportionment, will raise the tax of next year to three and ‘a quarter per cent from two and half per cent, the rate for the preseat year. The present aspect of the times does not hold out any hi fan increased valuation, but clearly foreshadows a diminution, par- ticularly as to personal property: besides, the city may be called upon to provide for wants which have hitherto provided tor themselves. Itby your action you shall encourage the promotion of this scheme, at th® public expense, you put into the hands of those interested therein thé funds required to enable them to go to the Legislature to secure further powers at the public expense. This is so certain to be the result of your approval of the scheme that I cartnot but hope you will pause before giving it such sanction, and that the resolution you have already passed shall be reconsidered and rescinded by you, W. F, HAVEMEYER, At the conclusion of the reading of this docu- ment Alderman Jenkins Van Schaick arose and said that at the meeting when the sum of $2,500,000 Was voted w the exposition, as provided by the act of the Legislature, he voted for its adoption, and then stated that if there was anything wrong in the measure His Honor the Mayor would take ample care of the city’s interests, He had also been informed that the Mayor and his colleague (Mr. Ottendorter) were directors of the company® and had no idea that the affairs of the association were in irrespousible hands. Since the appropria- tion was passed he had received some additional facta, and Jor that reason he now begged the privi- lege of moving that the message of His Honor the Mayor be received, printed in the minutes, the suggestions contained therein adopted and THE VOTE APPROPRIATING TWO MILLION FIVE HUN+ PRED THOUSAND DOLLARS reconsidered. ‘The yeas and nays were called, and several Al- dermen tad voted in the aflirmative, when Alder- man Reilly rose and asked whether the original Tesolution was now with the Board. He had heard that the document was on file with the Clerk of the Board of Assistant Aldermen, who, he under- stood had passed the resolution “unto general or- ders’? at their session last Thur: » Presideny Vance informed the questioner that the resolution had been stopped in transitu to the Board of As- sistant Aldermen, and is now in possession of the Clerk of the Boar Alderman Cooper, on being called on to vote, rose lor the purpose of explaining the same. He suldithat on general princtpie he was very much in favor Of the exposition, as being an incentive to PROMOTING COMMEROR and industry. At the same time the subject had been before the public for the past three years and he had heard nothing said against it. The Com- mittee on Finance had the matter in charge and at their public session no one appeared to say & word about the measure. The press had been silent and made no comments thereon. At the last meeting he had voted ist the appropriation, but on the explanation of his colleague, Alderman Otten- dorier, by whose Co iment he is neually is guided, he had changed his vote, Since then tacts came to his knowle which make him believe that the company claiming charge of the exposi- tion Is not wi it was represented, and he, there- lore, voted in favor of reconsideration, Ena cn 40 THE MAYOR'S RROOMMENDATIONS, IN DBVEBERCE TO ENDATION voted in the affirmative, as did also Alderman Clausen.
