fy “TWEED AT LARGE The “Boss” at His Office in Duane Street Fixing His Papers. The District Attorney Indignant at the Sheriff’s Action—He Knows Noth- ing of Tweed’s Whereabouts. THE SHERIFF'S UNPRECEDENTED ACTION, All day yesterday the lobbies of the new Court House were thronged with politicians who anx- jously and feelingly discussed the subject of the Boss’ conviction, The old retainers of the Ring were profuse in their eulogies on the faslen chief's virtues and liberality, and they loudly bemoaned the sad dénouement of his brilliant career. Great anxiety was manifested on all sides to know where the Boss was, but no one could be found to give a satisfactory answer to the universal query. Con- Jectures and rumors filled the air, and each new statement regarding the whereabouts of Tweed ‘Was taken up and zealously whispered from man to man, only to be followed by another and More improbable story, The report that he could be found at the office of his counsel in Broadway found many believers, and forthwith a hegira to the place indicated was begun; but the pilgrims returned only to tella tale of disappointment, About two o’clock a re- port, said to have come from Police Headquarters, stating that the Boss had escaped, created great excitement, and immediately there was an un- usual demand for evening papers. Although un- authentic, the report was beli@Ved, perhaps for the reason of its consoling qualities, Later im the afternoon, when the interest in the case began to Jag, @ thrill of expectation was communicated to the mob of loungers by the report that Tweed was in Sheriff Brennan’s office. The hope of getting a farewell glimpse at the Boss’ ponderous figure was cruelly crushed by an assurance from one of the deputies that Tweed was not and had not been in the office during the day. When the crowd had dwindled away the Sheriffcame out of his office, and porovgh him the reporter found the where- abouts of Tweed, as will be seen in the account be- low. The counsel for Tweed refused to see any one from the press and ordered his clerk to deny for him the statement that Tweed had been in his office eince he left the court room on Wednesday morning. The office of the counsel was very quiet and no of Tweed could be seen. No. 85 Duane street, Tweed’s office, seemed as quiet as if noth- ing of importance had happened, but near the cor- ner of Oentre and Duane streets there stood a coach, from the box of which a hackman now and éhen anxiously glanced up towards No. 85. MR, ALLEN ON TWEED’S PROPERTY. During the morning a H&RALD reporter called On Assistant District Attorney Allen to obtain in- formation regarding Tweed’s property. During the conversation Mr. Allen said that he was in- formed that the greater part of Tweed’s property, dad been transferred, which makes it highly prob- able that the city willbe unable to get any of it. On investigating the matter the reporter discov- ered that the property had not only been trans- Terred, but that the original grantees had, so to speak, retransierrea their grants, and go on to the end of the story, thus involving the property Ina Penelopian web of red tape from the tangles of Waich it will be diMicult if not impossible to extri- cate the original estate. There are several actions by the city pending against the Tweed property, but the probability 1s that they will never be satisfied. Besides these there are an aimost in- numerable swarm of actions by private parties, “whose Dronpeats of satisfacuion are about as bright @s those of the city and county. The actions brougat for the city have for some time past been in abeyance owing to the attention paid to Tweed ersonally, but the assurance comes from the istrict Attorney’s office that they will now be gee forward by Attorney General Barlow and Wheeler H. Peckham. District Phelps and Alien. A HeRaLD reporter had an interview with District Attorney Phelps and his assistant, Mr. Allen. Rerorren—What do you think of the action of the Sheriff in taking Mr Tweed in his custody? Is this habitual? Mr. ALLEN—It is something wholly unprece- dented, and without justification in any way. I have never Known a Sheriff to do this before, and Thoid that, while Mr. Brennan would certainly not do it in the case of a poor man, he ought not to do it because the prisoner is Tweed. ReporTeR—Can you see any objection to this action when you consider that Tweed has much business to settle up? Mr. ALLEN—1 see a great deai of objection to such action. Suppose, for instance—which is perfectly supposable—that the two deputy sheriffs who have bim in charge connive in the escape of the pris- oner. If they came tous with black eyes, torn clothes, and looking badly beaten, we cannot accuse them of having helped the matter. We should have to take their story for granted, and could not proceed against them. And when 1 consider the temptations they are under, the money that Tweed is able to spend to secure his liberty and the general bad look of the case, 1 shall be very much surprised, indeed, if nothing happens be- fore Saturday by which the prisoner does not turn up. When you consider the desperate character of many of Tweed’s friends and the love they bear the “Boss,’’ you may believe that they would hardly hesitate at murder itself to get him away. ‘The deputy sheriffs might be perfectly innocent, but cannot @ very small crowd overpower two men? I hold that Sherif Brennan has no right to take these risks. He must know to what possivili- ties he is exposing us and to what a storm it would give rise supposing Tweed did escape. District Attorney Phelps silently assented to all Mr. Allen had said by nodding his head. “Now the question comes,” asked the reporter, turning to District Attorney Phelps, ‘Has Mr. Brennan a right to keep Tweed in his custody?” “He has no donbt a technical right, for the pris- oner was given to the custody of the Sherif,” an- awered District Attorney Pheips. “I beg your pardon,” interposed Mr. Alien, warily, ‘‘the commitment was not made out to the Sherif? at all.” Mr. Allen took up a blank and read it as fol- Interviews with Attorneys Jows:— “On motion of the District, Attorney ordered by the Court, that the said W." M. Tweed stand com- mitted to’ the custody of the Warden of the City Prison o1 the City of New York until thence deliy- ered by course of law.” “That is the form of the commitment,’ continued Mr. Allen. “I beg your pardon,” said Mr. Phelps, ‘I thought he was committed to the custody of the Sherif, As the case stands, then, the Sheriff 1s quite unjusti(l- able in his action.” “Do you know the whereabouts of Mr. Tweed?" “No,” said Mr. Phelps donot. J have not the slightest idea where ie is.” “But is there no way in which you can obtain possession of Tweed’s body?” “I the Court were in session,’ said Mr. Alien, “there would be no difficulty, We should go before Judge Davia and have him find out from Sherif Brennan where Tweed is, But in the present case the Court is adjourned until Saturday, and we must only wait the Sheriff’s pleasure, I know that Juage Davis did not mean that Tweed should be carted round the city in this manner. The Sheriff simply said to the Judge ‘Shall | take him’ and the Judge said ‘Yes,’ of course meaning that he should take him to the Tombs in the usual way. But Mr. Bren- nan construes this to mean that he can take care of his prisoner until the time of sentence. We shalt take good care that he doesn’t have him after that, but that he goes straight to the Penitentiary. ReErorTER—Bot is there not some attempt to be made to have the penalty delayed ? District ATToR! here is only one way of doing this and that is to move an arrest of judg- ment On Saturday morning by filing a wit of error. But I know the Judge won't grant this. ‘Then alter sentence 1s pronounced they will en- deavor to get a stay of proceedings, and for that they can apply to any Judge of the Supreme Court in the State. But no Judge would grant such a stay. | believe the stay would enabie him to re- main in the Tombs (and we should take care it was nowhere else, unless pail was granted, which would not be likely,) until the Gonrt of Appeals has decided the question as to the exceptions taken in the case. Reronren—There is much difference of opinion respecting the penalty that the prisoner is liable to, Mr. ALLen—We have figured it at fifty one years’ imprisonment, but I presnme he will be condemned fo about fifteen years’, besides the fine, Rerorrer.—And what becomes of the other in- dictments iF felony, which you also have against the prison Mr. "ALLEN Oh, those will lie. It would be of no use to try them, uow that the prisoner is found guilty already. 1t would only be in case the Court ‘of Appeais reversed tne decision that these indict- ments for forgery, and State Prison offences,would be brought. In case he goes to the Penitentiary on these, however, the others will not be destroyed, ‘but will be kept. Mr. Allen said that just as soon as Tweed was once incarcerated then he should be satiated. Mr. Suarks, We Clork os the Const as Over and ‘him?’ referring to NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2], 1873.—TRIPLE SHEET. ‘Torminer, told the AMeKaLp reporter that he had e the Sheriff to Judge Davis, ‘Shall I take pear oO rweed, and that Jadge Davis said, “Yes,” and then Sheriff Brennan said e- thing more to the Judge and the Jatter nodded; but he did not heal he if about the prisoner being ‘kept in the custody of the Sheriff anti! Saturday. He did not remember a case of this kind before. Interview with Sheriff Brenn: Ip an interview with Order of Arrest Clerk Jarvis yesterday he said that he did not know, nor indeed did any one tn the Sherif’s Office know, where Tweed was. One after another tne deputies were interrogated, and they all expressed equal igno- rance oi the matter, When told of the rumors that were flying around of the reported escape of Tweed the deputies smiled and shrugged their shoulders, as if it were too ridiculous to obtain a Mmoment’s consideration, But the interest was un- flagging, and after Waiting some few moments the HBRALD reporter was introduced into the private oMce of Sherif Brennan, and the following inter. view took place :—~ RePoRTeER—Where ia Tweed? Sheriff BrenNan—He isn’t five minutes from here at the present moment. J can’t tell you where he Is, though, RevortER—There are a good many places within five minutes from here. Can you not be more definite in your information? Sheriff Brennan—No, I won’t tell where he ts, I am responsible for him and that’s enough. If people knew where he was he would be overrun with visitors, Rerortrer—Where was Tweed last night? Sheriff Brennan—He slept in his own house at the corner of Fifth avenue and Forty-third street, in company with three of my deputies, and at this present moment there are two deputies with him, Who are quite trustworthy. Not being able to make out anything more definite ag to the whereabouts of Tweed the repor- ter went in search of the great criminal. Mr. Ful- lerton’s office was visited and also another of ‘Tweed’s numerous counsel, but he was in neither lace. The reporter again called on the Sheriff in the afternoon, Sheriff BRENNAN (laughing)—So they’ve got it ronnd that Tweed has escaped, haven’t they ? REPORTER—There appears to be a rumor to that effect. Do you consider your action in keeping ‘Tweed in your custody as quite justifiable ? Sheriff Brennan—I do. I am responsible for him, but am not obliged to produce him until Sat- urday; then, iff fail to bring him into court, they will have a right to complain, Reporrer—The District Attorney, I believe, con- siders your action unjustifiable, and holds that you should have taken your prisoner to the Tombs, as committed there. Sheriff BrENNAN—On this point the District At- torney and I differ. He can have nothing to com- ain of if | produce my prisoner in court on Satur- jay, and this I certainly shall do. REPORTBR—You have perfect trust in your depn- ties? Sherif! BRENNAN—l1 have. REPORTER—Vo you mean to keep Tweed in your custody until Saturday, or will you put him for any Portion of the time in the Tombs ¢ Sheriff BRENNAN—I don’t know what I shall do et, whether I snail keep him or incarcerate him. am debating the question in mind at present, Iam going to see Tweed in a few moments, and if 1am quite satisfied of his actions I shall continue to hold him as I now do. It wiil all dependon how he acts. He has much business to attend to, and there is no reason why he should be deprived of the opportunity of transacting it. Sheriff Brennan subsequently said that Tweed was not in his ofice in Duane street, had not been and would not be there. A few moments after, Mr. )Brennan walked out of the middie door of his office, and, without the notice of any one about, slipped out of the Court Honse and walked up to Cham- bers street and stood on the corner speaking to ex-Recorder Smith, In the meantime, and while doing so, the Sheriff looked around him sus- piciously to see if he were toliowed, but seeming at last tobe satisfied that the coast was clear, walked rapidly up Broadway, turning at each mo- ment to see who was after hin. He then suddenly turned the corner of Duane street and as rapidly walked down to No. 86, passed it, and, returning gpcceny, popped in. The HeRaLp reporter fol- lowed him shortly after, and had not reached the heaa of the stairs wnen Dewey, Tweed’s clerk, had opened the door and asked what was wanted, standing as he did so, A side glance into the room revealed the presence of Deputy Sheriff Shields, with bis blonde mustache and dark colored over- coat, “Is Deputy Sheriff Shields in?” asked the re- porter. Dewey imperiled his immortal son] by answer- ing, “No.”? “Of course Mr. Tweed is notin ?? added the re- porter. “No, he is not; nobody is here,” and at the same time a volume of tobacco smoke came curling out into the passage way. Dewey stood obdurate at the door and would not back down from his position. “Is Sheriff Brennan here ¢” asked the reporter, thinking to shame Dewey. “No, Ihave not seen him since the last day of the trial,” said Dewey, as if he were telling the most immacniate trath and with the utterly unconscious innocence of a child. Two minutes after Sheriff Brennan came down the stairs and walked up Broadway. In about an hour subsequently, Tweed, accom- panied by three deputy sheriffs, came down stairs and slowly got into a carriage, which was waiting atthe corner, The order was given to the coach- man to drive to Forty-third street and Fifth ave- nue. It is stated that all day Tweed was fixin up, filing and burning papers, and settling his las business affairs. It 1s said that his counsel have advised him to do this, as they have said there ts but the smailest chance in the world of bis getting off his sentence for the present, and thus avoiding going to Blackwell's Island. The counsel, indeed, though they refuse to be interviewed, e of opin- jon tnat no judge will be found to grant Tweed a iy of proceedings on carrying out of the sen- rence. ‘Tweed’s Movements. On Wednesday morning, when Tweed leit the Oyer and Terminer Court, he proceeded in a coach to his oMce in Duane street, where he remained until night, when he proceeded to his house, cor- ner of Fifthavenue and Forty-third street. The excitement of fixing his papers and the hurried manner in which everything was done at the office gave the Boss fictitions courage, which, when he confronted his wife and family, utterly failed him, in the house were Richard Tweed, the prisoner’s brother, and Richard and William, his sons, to- gether with Deputy Sheriff Shields and two assist- ants. The fami athered around the falien chief, aud sorrow and silence brooded where three short years ago there were happiness and music. Tweed retired early and was up betimes yester- day morning. After breakfast he, in company with the deputy sheriffs, rode down to his office in Duane street, where he remained all day until about six o'clock, when he again went to bis home on Fiithavenue, Mr. Tweed had few visitors yes- terday, and such as did call Were informed py Mr. Dewey that Mr. Tweed was not in. What Tweed Will do to-day is not known, but it is supposed he will be kept busy filing and destroying papers, as he was yesterday. Mr. Brennan, on his way up town, stopped into Mr. Tweed’s office, where he remained about ten minutes, Recorder Hackett’s Opinion. A HERALD reporter met Recorder Hackett in Mr. Sparks’ office and asked his opinion of Sherif Brennan’s action in the Tweed case, He said that technically the Sheriff had no right whatever to keep his prisoner out of the county jail, and also that his action was wholly without precedent, THE NOVEMBER METEORS, {From the Providence Journal, Nov. 20.) One solitary meteor was all the reward we gained for a dilligent watch on the evening of the 13th and the morning and evening of the ith of November. The flery cosmical atoms were not to be caught napping this year, and had evidently cleared the track before the great lumbering earth invaded the domains of their gigantic ellipse, The weather was not in fauit, for the atmosphere was clear as a bell, and when the constellation Leo had mounted half way to the zenith in the small hours of the might & more majestic starry glory than that which sparkled in the nocturial concave of the sky could hardiy be imagined. Leo is the ‘radiant point,” the heabgcartore of the November ineteors, which are called ‘for this reason Leonides. As its superb sickle of shining stars cut the dark agure of the sky we snrely thought @ few straggling meteora would be seen with downward rush and tlery tram to give evidence of the annual passage. Astrono- mers say that for years to come no display at this time is anticipated; but we indulge every year in a faint hope that their calcniations are at fauit, and that bewildering shower will re’ anxious gaze. But a three hours’ watch and only one solitary Leontd was not @ satisiactory invest- ment in star-gezing. A DOUBLE 8UIOIDE, Boston, Nov. 20, 1873, The suicide of Marian F. Pfyter, the young nurse at the City Hospital, yesterday, was immediately followed by the suicide of Arthur Foster, a medical novice and house oMcer of the institution ; but the last occurrence was kept a secret, at the request of the relatives of the deceased. Various stories were afoat, dut ail inquiries at the hospital by the reporters received unsatisfactory answera last night. It now appears that Foster was called in the night to prescribe for Miss Pfyfer, and mistook her symptoms for those of hysteria, and upon her death he was so chagrined at his fatiure to recog. nive the indications of opiam that he immediately went to a bathroom and killed himself by opening the Jemeral artery, He was highly esteemed, DIRECT TAXATION. Report of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. WASHINGTON, Nov. 20, 1873. ‘The report of the Commissioner of Internal Rev- enue shows the aggregated receipts from ali sources for the year ending with June last, ex- clusive of the direct tax upon lands ana the duty upon the capital, circulation and deposits of na- tional banks, were $114,075,456. The amount in- ¢.udes sums refunded and allowed on drawbacks, The total amount on drawbacks was $52,346 on spirits, tobacco and gencral merchandise. There were refunded for taxes Illegally assessed and collected $618,667. ‘THR SPIRIT TAX, The receipts from the several sources relating to distilled spirits were for the year 1872 $49,475,516; for 1873, $52,009,371. The increase in the receipts from the gallon tax on distilled spirits was $10,013,276, and from the special tax of rectifers and dealers in liquor $1,094,264, making a total increase from these sources of over $11,000,000. The tax on distilled spirits was raised from 60 to 70 cents per gation August 1, 1872, To this fact 1s due the large in- crease in receipts from this source, The large in- crease in receipts from special taxes Is, doubtless, owing in great part to an earlier and more thor- ough collection of special taxes since the introduc- tion of the present system of paying them by stamps, A partof the $11,000,000 increase was, however, offset by the loss of nearly $400,000 dur- ing the last year by the reduction of the value of stamps for spirits, other than tax-paid stamps, from 25 cents to 10 cents each, under the act of June 6, 1872, and by the further loss of a little over $8,000,000 by repeal, under the same act, of certain taxes relating to spirits, leaving a balance of a little more than $2,500,000 increase in receipts from all sources relating to spirits. THE SPIRIT CROP, The production of spirits during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1873, was in taxable gallons :— ‘Total production from materials other than fruit, 68,236,567 gallons; the total production from fruit Was 2,914,800 gallons. ‘Total, 71,151,367 gallons, WARKHOUSE WITHDRAWALS, The tax collected on spirits withdrawn from Warehouse during the fiscal year 1872 was $32,457,235; the tax collected on spirits withdrawn jrom warehouse during the fiscal year 1873 was $41,102,021; the tax on spirits withdrawn for ex- port during the fiscal year 1873 was $1,651,041. If the tax had been Collected on spirits with- drawn for export during the fiscal year 1873, as was the case during the fiscal year 1872, the receipts for the fiscal year 1873 would have been increased $1,651,041. thus swell- ing the receipts from spirits withdrawn from bond for the fiscal year 1373 to $42,753,962, A comparative statement, therefore, of the receipts on account of all spirits withdrawn from bond for the two years, under like circumstances, would show an increase of $10,296,726, or over 31 per cent, in the receipts of the fiscal year 1873 over those for the preceding fiscal year. The act of June 6, 1872, authorizing the withdrawal of spirits from distulery warehouses for export without payment of the tax has been in operation since August 1, 1872, under regulations from this office approved by the Secretary of the Treasury. P ‘The tax received on imitation wines during the year ended June 30, 1873, was $3,551, The tax re- ceived on fermented liquors at $1 per barrel for the years 1872 and 1873 was $8,009,969 and $8,910,822 re- spectively. THE TOBACCO TAX. The total receipts from tobacco for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1873, were $34,386,303, Com- pared with the total receipts for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1872, there was a decrease of col- lections on manufactured tobacco of all descrip- tions of $1,172,917. There was an increase in the total receipts from the manuiacture and sale of tobacco, snuff and cigars, in all their forms, over the recetpts from the same sources for the preced- ing fiscal year of $650,132, The actual product of the year, so far as such products have been re- ported, was 116,450,034 pounds, which shows an increase over the annual production reported for the preceding fiscal year of 9,180,079 pounds, The number of cigars, cheroots, &c., on which taxes were collected during the fiscal year ended June 80, 1873, Was 1,807,134,646, Showing an excess over the number roported for the preceding fiscal year Of 279,428,674. Apprehensions were entertained by parties fa- voring the continuance of the former system of ex- ort bonded warehouses that there would pe a large falling off in the quantity of manulac- tured tobacco shipped to loreign countries under the present system. These predictions, however, have not been verified by actual results, which show that, notwithstanding some considerable time Was required fully to inaugurate the change and familiarize shippers with all the details of the law and the regulations under which such shipments are now made, instead of there being any falling of there was an actual increase of some 544,064 pounds of exported tobacco during the last fiscal year. The consolidation of the different rates of tax on differ- ent classes of chewing tobacco has seemed to realize in practice all the friends of this measure predicted of good results. No branch of the busi- ness seems to have experienced any inconvenience or suffered any diminution in the amount of busi- ness formerly done under a graded tax in conse- quence ofsuch uniform tax. Notonly has there been a 1arge increase generally in proauction and sale of manufactured tobacco, but it is believed this increased business has been done with a rea- sonable amount of profit to the manufacturer, The law in its present operation is thought to act eqnally and impartially. Its requirements have become better understood. There has been @ more general acquiescence in these requirements during the last fiscal year than ever before. There have been fewer violations of law and regulations, 1ewer seizures and fewer prosecutions reported, The decrease ol receipts irom banks and bankers and adhesive stamps is due to the Jegisiation appreved June 6, 1872. The class en- titled “articles and occupations,” formerly taxed, but now exempt, includes certain taxes on old lists repealed prior to June 6, 1872, with the tax on income and gas. THE GROSS REVENUE AND ESTIMATES. The aggregate receipts for the last fiscal year ex- ceeded the Commissioner’s estimate by $4,075,456 08, It is estimated that the total receipts for the cur- rent fiscal year will be $100,000,000. This estimate will, of course, be affected somewhat by the con- tinnance or otherwise of the present finan- cial embarrassment, It is not thought any material oss will ensue from the amounts of taxes received from the personal con- sumption of spirits or tobacco should the financial trouble continue, but a loss would undoubtedly be feit in the amounts of spirits used chemically and in the mechanical arts. The plan adopted in lieu of the eighty-district plan—to wit, abolishing the offices of assessors and assistant assessors—reduced the expenses $1,062,827 lower than the estimated reduction under the eighty-district plan, and $1,060,000 lower than the appropriation for 1873, under the old system, The estimates for the fiscal year 1875 show, iurther, a reduction of $9,458, or $1,069,458 less than the appropriation for the fiscal year 1873, and $1,072,285 less than the estimate for 1874, based on the eighty-district plan. It was thought at first an additional clerical force would be needed in this office in view of the increased labor under the act of December 24, 1872; but diligence and an enthusi- astic application to their new duties on the part of the existing clerical forces have obviated such supposed necessity. For a considerable part of the past summer a number of the clerks were employed several hours each day aiter the regular busi-, ness hour in executing and adjusting the new‘ system, This gratuitous labor was cheerfully per- formed, and is deserving of special commendation, CHANGES SUGGESTED, The Commissioner, for reasons stated, recom- mends that the collectors’ salaries be fixed at amounts ranging from $2,500 to $5,000 ana the supervisors’ salaries at $4,00e per annum. The Commissioner says, in conclusion :—Il would repeat the suggestion contained in my report of November 1871, that section 24 of the act of July 20, 1868, should be amended by making the minimum pen- alty smaller, such penalty being now a fine of not Jess than $1,000 with not less than six months’ im- prisonment. e undue severity of this punish- ment would seem to be obvious as applied to the “offences of carrying on the business of a retail or wholesale liquor dealer, rectifier or mannfacturer of stills without having paid the special tax in cases where no intent to defraud exists, the omission arising trom ignorance of the law or from other circumstances not iraudalent yet constitut- ing no legal excuse under the terms of the section. The practical efect of providing so disproportio! ate a punishment for these offences ts to disco’ age complaints, defeat convictions and induce sus- pension of sentence in many cases in which some moderate punishment should be enforced, as well to vindteate the law ae to secure future compli- ance with its requirements, The repeal of all documentary stamp duties, under schedule B, except that of two cents om bank checks, dratts or orders, by the act of June 6, 1872, left many stamps im the hands of dealers and others throughout the country, for which they had no use, and such as have been presented to this ofice have been redeemed or exchanged under the provisions of section 161 of the act of June 30, 1864, a8 amended by section 41 of the act of June 6, 1872. The amount so redeemed and exchanged from October 1, 1872, to October 1, 1875, was $473,844 44. As it is believed the pubdlic have now had a sufficient notification of the willing- ness of the government to redeem or exchange such stamps as might be presented, accompanied by satisfactory evidence that they had not heen used, I woula recommend such legislation by Con- time to July 1, 1874, within 'y stamps, tssued under schedule B, Of a greater denomination than two cepts may be presented for redemption under section 161 of the act of June 30, 1864, as amended by section 41 of the act of ne 1872, The suggestions made in my last annnal report that the amendments of June 6, 1872, to section 69 of the act of July 20, 1868, relating to the special taxes of dealers in liqnors, should be made more explicit, were fully met by the carefully drawn House bill No, 4,069, entitled “An act to correct anerror in section 15 of the act of June 6, 1872, and to amend certain sections of other acts relat. wwe Wo interna) revenue.’ That bil) passed the Honse of Kepresentatives on the %4 day of March last, but, uniortunately, failed of being acted on by the Senate. solely, it anderstood, for want of time in which to consider it. It {s very important that the same or a similar bill should be enacted a8 s00n a8 practicable. DETECTIVE DOINGS. aicomeeirncan A Large Quantity of United States Se- eurities Recovered—Absconded from London. Andrew J, Parker and 8, A. Warner were: ar- Testea yesterday afternoon by Detectives Sampson and Farley, and locked up at Police Headquarters. ‘These men had been trying to negotiate for the sale of a large number of United States securities, and at the time of the capture had some $30,000 worth of them on their persons, which the oMcers secured, IJtiganfposed by the police authorities they have been operatingin this way fora long time, as information has beén received that very prominent men were approached with a view to sale, One recent case was reported to Captain Irving last week, and he detatled Detectives Farley and Sampson to look after the matter, These ofMcers promptly put themselves on the track of the parties and succeeded yesterday in runuing them down. Being a United States case they were obliged, by the necessities of it, to put themselves in communication with Colonel Whitley, of the secret service, He assigned one of his most capa- ble officers to work with the detectives, and the three laid plans for the arrest of the men, They first directed their movements to the discovery of the parties, This was slow work, for men of this character are usually careful in their condnct and doubtful of strangers. After waiting around brokers’ offices down town, however, for several days, they managed to get into the company of one of the principals of the bond dis- posers. This man had gone into a bro- ker’s of ce to sound the market and make such preliminary advances as would con- vey the bellef that he had something to dispose of. Colonel Whitley’s officer being the least exten- sively KNOWD Was selected as the one to follow the man and OPEN A COMMUNICATION with him, This line of conduct was carried on until the man gained confidence in the supposed buyer and invited him to meet nis partners at the residence of the firm. Several meetings took placo at the house, and finally a day was settled upon for the transfer of the bouds and money. Detectives Sampson and Farley were tracing the other mem- bers of the disreputable house while their co- adutor was playing with the principal and expected to able to pounce upon the whole party when their friend was ready. Something, however, occurrea to mar the eas; flow of things, and two or three of the men too! the alarm and went out of the city. As soon as the bonds were produced and Colonel Whitley’s officer was gatisfied that the party had no more in their posseesion he gave the alarm to Farley and Sampson, who were lying in wait outside the house. They pushed in at the signal and arrested the men. Some of the securities recovered are the propery of the Cnban Junta, and were stolen from on Carlos Castillo y Lozago, in this city, while he Was living at the St. George Hotel. It appears this gentleman had at the time about $250,000 be- Jonging to the Cuban Junta in his posses- sion, He was the treasurer of the society. The money was in a leather bag, whic he carried about with him, and whtch he left in his room one day while he went down stairs to dinner, During his absence a man went to the chamber- maid of the landing in which Mr, Lozago’s room was situated and asked her to go down stairs on some errand {or lilm. The girl, unsuspecting, went, and when Mr, Lozago revurned trom dinner he found his BAG BROKEN OPEN and the bonds gone. Every search made for this bends at the time proved frnitiess, and notmnog was heard of them until the following year. In the autumn of 1871 Detective Sampson was returning to New York with a prisoner he had arrested in New Orleans, and on the way this mau gave him peme valuable informauon about these apd other onds. One of the items of intelligence given by this man, Louis M. Van Eaton, to Detective Sampson, led to the arrest and conviction of George Chad- wick and the recovery of some bonds beionging to persons in Washington. He told the officer that he (Van Eaton) had passed an altered and mutil- ated bond, given him by Chadwick for that pur- pose, on the Bank of California. Mr. Sampson telegraphed to the authorities of the bank for the bond and it was sent here to him. Van Eaton was sent to prison for nine years and compelled to pay a fine of $9,000 (Recorder Hacket deducting one year from his fine and $1,900 trom his fine in return for the information given to Sampson), and Chad- wick got the fuli term, 10 years and a fine of $10,000, This same bond, Detective Farley discovered at the time in the working up of the case, had been previously used in New York by Chadwick. He became frightened at inquiries that were made re- specting it and took tt up again, Then it was sent to Van Eaton, and finally feil into the hands of the police again from the Bank of California. Nine thousand six hnndred and sixty-eight dollars were paid forit by the bank to Van Eaton. Two other men, Pesin J. Beunuel and Antonio Peiletier, were arrested about the same time by Detective Sampson for the same business. Upon them was found a@ $1,000 bond belonging to Mr. Lozago and Sst eae bonds, the property of a widow, and part of the BOYESTON BANK ROBBERY in Massachusetts, Superintendent Matsell was handed the bonds yesterday by the detectives. The following is a list of them:—No. 11,452, for $10,000; No. 4,406, for $10,000, and No. 4,605, the property of Mr. Lozago; No. 5,669, for $1,500, and No. 18,661, for $1,009, the property of Mrs. Angelica R. Smith; No, 24,768, No. 24,769, NO, 24,770, No, 24,771, each for $1,000, the property of Mr. Roland; No. 24,600 and No. 24,599, each for $1,000, the property of Benjamin Stehman. These will be transferred to the custody of the Court to-day, when the prisoners are ar- raigned. Stephen Alfred Smith, formerly a clerk of Bass & Co., the celebrated ale manufacturers, was arrested yesterday by Detective Moore. He is charged with embezzlement, and was taken on a despatch sent by the London police to superin- tendent Mateell. The pan was travelling under the name of S. A. Dampére. He was found in an office in Front street, where he was em- ployed & bookkeeper. A London officer has come out after him and will take him back as soon as the extradition papers are ready. A TERRIBLE SHIPWBECK. Two Men and a Woman Lashed in a Schooner’s Rigging All Night—Onc of the Men Dead=Three Lives Lost. A terrible shipwreck, the consequence of the late severe gale, is reported from the north shore of Long Island. The schooner F. V. Trenier, com- mandea by Captain George Graves, bound from Honduras to New York with @ load of cocoanuts, went ashore in the darkness and storm of Monday night, off Eden’s Neck, where, after a terrible ex- perience of several hours, she filled and capsized about six o’clock on Tuesday morning. There were eight persons in all on board, includ- ing the Captain’s wife. Two colored men were washed overboard and drowned during the night, and one white man died while lashed in the main rigging. After the schooner capsized two of the remaining sailors succeeded Mm launching the yaw! boat, and were about working their “way to ‘the shore, when the mate jumped alter them and, reaching the boat, suc- ceeded in escaping with them. and his wife remained by the craft, lashed in the main rigging, with the angry seas breaking over them constantly, until they were finally taken off about ten o’clock in the forenoon, That these two, as well as the sailor who was in the rigging with them, did not perish from cold and exposure, max be considered as remarkable. This may be explained, however, by the fact that they were much more warmly clad. The body ofthis man whose name was ascertained to be White, was recovered on Tuesday afternoon. On Wed- nesday Coroner Baylis held an inquest, and the jury rendered a verdict in accordance with the facts, White was a Scotchman, ana shipped in New Orleans, The bodies of the two colored men have not yet been recovered. Neither their names nor those of the rest of the crew are known, as Captain Graves lost ail his shipping papers. yawn body was buried at Lioyd’s Neck yester- ay. The schooner is still ashore, but she will proba- bis Fong be got off by the wreckers, uniess an- other northeast storm should intervene, when she will probably go to pieces, IRVING COMMITTED TO THE TOMBS, What About the Nathan Marder! At half-past four yesterday afternoon John T, Irving, Who has been confined at Police Headqu ters for the last three months, was brought to the Tombs prison and placed on the second tier. Irving was brought to the Tombs by Captain Irving, On an order from the District Attorney, who prosured his commitment on an old indict- ment of burglary in the third degree.

RED TICKET, eee Jack Sheppard and Edgeworth Bess Eclipsed. |“Finnan, I Think That Wo- man’s a Man.” The Story of the Escape by the Boy Who Stole the Bad Cigars, Maggie Jourdan, Sarah Allen and Keeper Philips Committed to the Tombs, ‘The Jack Sheppard business, which was done so very vigorously and yet so quietly on the second tier of the Tombs on Wednesday morning, has come to a crisis in a more brief space of time than was expected. And the discovery has been solely made through the agency of a lad who was con- fined in ao cell opposite to that occupied by Sharkey, on a charge of abstracting 600 bad cigars. The boy’s name is Kessler, a young Ger- man, sixteen years of age, who speaks English, and he deliberately testified yesterday, before the Com- missioners of Charities aud Correction, that he saw the shorter woman of the two, (he knew Heither, of them by name), Maggie Jourdan, and Sarah Jane Allen, standing at Shar- Key’s cell door, The short woman Kessler saw pass into Snarkey a red ticket—red tickets were used for admission aud egress on Wednes- day—and some parcels, and soon after an awkward looking woman came ont of the eell. This was the blood-stained and cowardly assassin Sharkey, and the sequel will be told below. Of all the ruffians who have infested New York for years nove have attained sucn an outrageous and contemptible notoriety for treachery and rascality as this fellow Sharkey. In appearance he had all the features o! a detestable thief—eyes like @ rattlesnake and mouth like a wolf. His lower jaw was the jaw of an assassin, and when he worked it he always boasted of his ability to snatch a diamond from a man‘s bosom or @ watch cnain from a vest while an eye twinkled. He would use a knife or a pistol only when his opponent was off his guard or unarmed, and his special companion was a notorious and brutal villain named Barney Aaron, wel) known to the police. In that lazaretto of New York, the Eighth ward, Sharkey had some consequence as @ Moating politician, because he wore good | diamonds, and he was on certain occasions fra- ternaily regarded by Senators and police justices. And yet this villain, with no human attributes but the worst, could find a woman with generous but fallen instincts to Jove him with a love as devoted, if not so pure, as that offered by the miece of the Canon Fuilbert to Abelard, the’ flower of medimval scolarship, This poor, degraded wretch, who has often been beaten by the fists and oid boots of her male com- panion in crime, and who has had at the best of times only the kindness shown toa dog bestowed on her, on being brought before a police justice yesterday had her face wreathed with smiles and expressed her gladness taa* Sharkey had escaped the halter—for a time, At one time Sharkey kept a billiard saloon in Broadway, and here all the thieves were in the habit of collecting mghtly to show the plunder of each day’s work. The master spirit of the place compelled each thiet Who came to piace his plun- der in @ pool, and a division was then made on the spot. Sharkey had a sort of a third-rate love for sport, for, with such rascals as he, it is always a source of pride, and it begets a feeling of dignity to ve allowed to appear prominently at the most brutal sporting gathering. it was customary with him to appear at prize fights with a heavy brown overcoat, richly trimmed with sable fur, and @ diamond pin, glowing like a Tweed bandit, ia his shirt bosom. Maggie Jordan has been heard to say to her acquaintances that “Silly was the most beautiful man in New York when he slung that fur overcoat.” At the prize fight he would always carry an enormous navy pistol, with «a stock like an Indian club, and this he would use on foolish people if he thought that the btake money was “going the wrong way.”’ His remarks made in the Toombs when an accused man—Stokes—was convicted, has become histor- ical almost among his kind, “The boys are all go- ing to take a bounce,” WHO LET SHARKEY GO? A reporter of the H&RALD called at the Tombs yesterday afternoon and took @ look around. When there is any excitement at the Tombs it is always of a very serious nature. it 1s usually the custom at this place to shut the stable door after the horse has been stolen. Then the Commis- sioners all assembie, the District Attorney is called in, and it would make an angel weep to see how these oficial beings perspire aiter the long cobra-like languor that has preceded this spell of hard work—that is, if it be hard work, On the left of the entrance as you pass in there are high desks and highrailings, behind which are | kept records of mgress and egress ofall the un- fortunates who visit the place. And here is to be seen good natured and kind hearted Mark Finley, the Assistant Warden, “How are you this afternoon, Mr. Finley,” asks the reporter, “Tam well, thanks be to God, sir. Hasn't the Lord given us tine weatuer tuis biessed November day, to be sure ?”” “Yes, Mark, he has indeed. Can yon let me see those two keepers, Lawrence Phillips and Finnan, who have been suspended for negiect of duty ?” “Indeed and Ican; I think they are within a stone's throw of this spot.” Here Mark Finley walked through the inclosure and toward the gate through which Sharkey passed into dayught. Behind this door were a swarm of keepers and young men who anxiously desired to be keepers. Mark beckoned to two of them and said:— “Here, boys, come out; there is a gentleman wants to speak to you.” Two mencame out; one a stout, able-bodied man, with a heavy, black mustache, and buttoned up tothe neck in a close fitting overcoat, This was Lawrence Phillips, who stood on the second tier as Sharkey passed ont. Aman Of lighter frame, in an open sack coat, and with @ scarcely grown mustache—some one said that he ought to wear Sharkey’s—came out in a jaunty way. This was Finnan. They were both asked if they knew how Sharkey escaped, in- stantly they both replied :— “We don’t know nothing about it.? REPORTER TO PHILLIPS—How long have you been acting as @ keeper in the Tombs, and who ap- pointed you to the place? PuILLirs—I served in the army and came here well recommended. I was eciee by Isaac Bell. Tlett here on election day and did not get back un- til three o’clock. I was not acting ou election day as a United States Marshal and 1 was not rec- ommended by Jimmy O’Brien, although I am an Apollo Hall Man. Commissioner Davenport did not appoint me. Me and Finnan live in the one house and I only get up to the Fourth election district of the Eighteenth Assembly district in time just to vote. I suppose some oue has been try- ing to give me a back cap, and I think I know who it 13 up town.” KEEPER FINNAN. 1 don’t want to know an higey abont this. I had nothing to do with it. live in the Fourth election district of the Eighteenth Assembly dis- trict, and I won't say whether I was tnere all da; on election day or not. am 2 repubil- can and an Apollo Hall man, and was Tecommended to tne position of keeper by the general committees of both parties. had Nothing to do with eiection frauds or ballot stul- fing or faise registering, and I don’t belong to no political clubs. I have been a keeper tor four months and I was appointed by Commissioner Laimbeer. Woat is all this cross. mination for? Do you want to Jud out my character? I suppose 80. Here Finnan walked away in disgust at being in- vestigated, and Phillips, Who seemed to be a good- natured, rough grained man, bade the reporter good day. TIE POLICE WORK. The police authorities and detectives, under Superintendent Matseil and Captain James Irving, are making all the exertions they can to find Sharkey, who 1s quite well known to them. Cap- tain Irving knows Sharkey exceedingly well, and has pledged his professional skill to effect his cap- ture, but will not say anything. It ts believed that he ts still in the city of New York, and ali his haunts are pretty well known, The Investigation by the Commissioners and the District Attorney, Maggie Jourdan and Mrs. Wesley Allen were ar- raigned before Judge Bixby, in the Tombs Police Court, yesterday morning, at half-past nine o'clock, and held to answer on a charge of aiding and abet- ting the escape of William J. Sharkey on the day previous, The charge was preferred by Warden Johnson, and the two women were at once re- manded to the Tombs Prison to await the action of the @ sid Jury, Magg) Jourdan went down stairs quite jauntily, and her face was wreathed in smiles, She seemed to feel very happy, and her subsequent incarcera- tion evidently gave her very little annoyance. Mrs. Allen, on the contrary, was somewhat depressed, and when she was piaced in her quarters in the female prison she broke down completely, and 9 cried bitterly for some time afterwaras, notwité 5 standing Maggie Jourdan’s efforts to cheer her up. Since the escape on Wednesday afternoon the Warden has been ailigently examining all the per- sons on the tier on which Sharkey was confinea, and subjected prisoners and officials both to the most rigid inquiries. He discovered that a pris- yoner, who oceupied the cell directly opposite Sharkey’s, had seen the whole transaction and was able to describe the manner of the escape. As early as ten o’clock on Wednesday morning he noticed a short woman in front of Sharkey’s cell, and saw her pass into him several parcels, Ie afterwards saw another woman come up about hall-past twelve. o’clock to the cell and speak to the first woman, and saw the shorter one of the two PASS IN A RED TICKET TO THE PRISONER inside. Kessler, who has been tn prison for the last four days on a charge of stealing 600 cigars, Was confronted with Maggle Jourdan and Mrs. Wesiey Allen yesterday morning in the presence of Commissioner Latmbeer, He at once recognized Maggie Jourdan as the woman, who passed in the pa Allen as the woman who stood alongside talking to her when the tcket was passed in. The rest of the boy's story is more confirmatory still of the gnilt of the woman Jourdan. After the ticket had been passed Mrs, Allen Went up to the other tier and remained. Maggie Jourdan remained talking to the prisoner & short while after, and then opened the door of the cell, at the same ‘time placing her person in front of the aperture. The boy says that Re then saw a person in women’s Clotties pass quickly out, saying— “aut RigHT,” Maggie Jourdan closing the door of the, cel! again and remaining there 15 minutes. He catied out in aloud voice, three times, “Keeper !’? “Keeper |?” “Keeper!” but Lawrence Philips, who hag charge of the gate, which is about 20 feet from Kessier’s cell, failed to hear him. At half-past one o'clock — yesterda: afternoon Commissioners Lalmbéer, Bowen an Stern, together with District Attorney Phe'ips and Warden Johnson, met for consultation in the Coun- cil Room, The boy Kessler was sent for and ex- amined at length by the Commissioners and the Dis- trict Attorney, as were also Keepers Philips, I’al- coner and Finnan and Officer Doran, of the sixth precinct. Alter a@ long consultation, which occu- ied about two hours and a haif, District Attorney helps gave his legal opinton as to the course to be pursued, and the mysterious Commissioners adjourned to the private room of Judge Bixby. This, a8 well as the former examination, waa strictly private, no reporters being allowed within the sacred precincts. Here affidavits were taken from Keepers Fal- coner, Finnan and Philfps, the boy Kessler and Oficer Doran. ‘The aftidavits were made out by Judge Bixby and signed. Keeper Falconer said that he saw the suspicious female go out, and he called the attention of Keeper Finnan, saying:—‘I tink that’s a man.” Keeper Finnan returned and said he guessed it was all right; but the woman acted as if she was eye or crazy, the way she skipped along the atree “Any way,” replied Keeper Falconer, ‘‘we are not responsible; the keepers inside are responst- blo if there ts anything wrong.” Keeper Finnan then corroborated the statements made by Keeper Falconer, Officer Doran said he also saw the suspicions fe- male and spoke to Keeper Finnan about ner roa- ning along the street, jumping on board a Bleecket street car, and when she jumped on board he no- ticed she caught hold of the rails with bot hands. Warden Johnson was then caued on for his state. ment. He describes the manner of the DISCOVERY OF THE ESCAPE; how Mrs. Allen caine to the outer door with. out a ticket. He told how he sounded the alarm and thought Keeper Philips responded that his tier was all right. Keeper Droyer went directiy to the second er and knocked at Sharkey’s cell, He ‘ound it closed, but received no answer. On trying the door he found it unlocked, and on opening it made tne first discovery that Sharkey had escaped. Warden Johnson then said that Keeper Philips showed criminal negligence in not asking Mrs, Allen to show her ticket before he unlocked. the upper gate, and when he found she had none’ he had a right, according to the rules of the prison, to sound the slarm. Mrs. Allen did not leave the prison till half an honr after Sharkey, to make the loss of the ticket, probably, less suspicious, After hearing the above testimony and on the sworh affidavits of the boy Kersier und keepers Falconer and Finnan, Judge Bixby decided to commit Lawrence Puilips for examination, which will be continued to-day. Keepers Falconer and Finnan, who were suspended early in the morning by the Cowmissioners, were allowed to go, bub me told to make their appearance as usual to- ay. After the examination was over the reporter had atalk with Warden Jonnson, The Warden was Very positive in his declarations as to the evidence against the woman Jourdan and Keeper Phillips. As to Mrs, Alien, he said that if she did not give Maggie Jourdan the ticket her pocket must have been picked by Maggie, though, under the circumstances, he thougbt tt was hardly likely, and it was fair to presume that the two women acted in concert. Warden Johnson also commented somewhat strongly on the action of Keeper Falconer, who, alter asking the disguised Sharkey to raise the vel}, did not see sufficient evidence to arrest the person atonce. In conclusion, he remarked that it was unfair to blame him so much for the dereliction of his keepers, as he had no control over their ap- pointment, and oftentimes he had to plead very hard with the Commissioners to retain a man Whom he knew to be experienced and ‘faith ml ian they wished to make room for some one else, The Suspected Women. A HERALD reporter endeavored to obtain af interview yesterday in the Tombs with Mrs, Wesley Allen and Maggie Jourdan; but tne Warden, as well as the Commissioners, said it would be a clear violation of ther duty if they were to permit such an_ interview at the present state of investigation. Both women were interrogated by the Commissioners in the Tombs, but they stoutly denied that they knew anything about Sharkey’s escape. Maggie Jourdan was highiy elated yesterday, but Mrs. Allen was rather depressed, Captain Kennedy tried to qnestion Maggte Jourdan, but she said, snappishly, “I don’? know anything, Cap- tain; you might just as well talk to the wall.” In reply to another question she said, “I know no more than I have read in the newspapers, and then she exclaimed, with an expression of great joy, “I am the happiest woman in the world that Sharkey has escaped.” Commisstoner Meyer Stern interrogated her al yesterday morning, but she merely replied, “I don’t Know anything about it, but I thank God that Sharkey 1s at liberty!” Maggie Jourdan is @ smail woman of about 20 years, of very iragile make, with a thin, pinched lace, delicate features, ratuer sallow cotpiexton, large dark eyes and black hair, which she wears in a simple coil. Yesterday she was dressed ina black silk flounced, a heavily braid short sacque with flowing sleeves, white Elizabethan rai about her neck and a black velvet jockey hat with a black feather and a heavy silver buckle in front, Mrs. Wesley Allen said pebelttine in reply to the queries of Commissioner Stern, “i don’t know any- thing about it. [lost my ticket, that’s all | know. Touly went to the Tombs to visit Sharkey because I wanted to ask him something.” Mrs, Allen is a very tall, voluptuous woman, of about 2, with @ well-shaped head, dark complex. fon, aqniiine nose, black eyes, arched by heavy eyebrows, and thin lips. [She was dressed yesterday in a black, heavy dress of empress cloth; a short, black sacque, heavily trimmed with passementerie and cut open in front, and a dark green Alpine hat. Commissioner Stern, in con- versation with @ HERALD reporter, said the Commissioners “had the strongest evidence tn the world against Maggie Jourdan and Mrs. Wesley Allen, and particularly ainst Maggie Jourdan.” He conid not give al iniormauen in regard to this evidence, as it might frastrate the ends of justice; but he had no doubt tuat both women could be convicted of having aided Sharkey in any court of justice. “Our ‘aret duty was to remove all keepers who could be held responsible, and we removed this morning the three keepers, Kdward Falconer, Richard Finnan and wrence Philips.’? Mr. Stern added that the Commissioners strot disapproved of the conduct or Warden Tonto aenonally gave Mrs, Allen permission to enter the prison, and had allowed bony Jourdan to spend four hours er eey in the Tombs. If he (Commissioner Stern) had known this Maggie Jourdan woula n0¢ have been allowed to spend so much time in front of Sharkey’s cell, as he alieges, What District Attorney Phelps Says. District Attorney Phelps was approached late yesterday afternoon and questioned regarding the escape of Sharkey. [He did not hesitate to say that the escape of this condemned murderer wa: one of the most high handed outrages ever perpetrated opon @ long suffering community. Instances of neglect of duty, or something much worse, in the matter of the custody of criminals by the keepers of the Tombs, had recently come to the notice of the authorities and astounded them regarding the means thrown in the way of the former to assist them in escaping, bat Sharkey’s walkii out in broad daylight, was rather more than coul ne patiently borne. Mr. Phelps would not aamit that some of the kee] were in fair way of being indicted. but intimated that there was doubt that the em cape of Sharkey was doe to ald which he recetved from one inside the or more the jail, and that he would do e mine oe F to “iit the matter to the Dottom. Bhoul and soy one implicated in this outrage, the citizens of New York could be well assured that such indi- vidual would receive a Panishment equal to to the enormity of hig crime. The pe District Attorney would
