8 ~AWBED IN €APRIVETY, Whe “Boss” Still at His Office in Duane Street Winding Up His Affairs. ‘What Will Be Done in the Event of an Attempted Rescue. Transfers of Real Estate Made by the “Boss” During the Last Two Years. ‘Yesterday morning Mr, Tweed came from his Fifth ‘venue office to the office in Duane street, where he remained all day occupied with hispapers, He bad mo visitors and the premises wore the same quiet Jook as on the day before, ‘This fact has led many ‘Bo believe that the story of Tweed’s presence in the Duane street office is what is called in de- ective parlance a “blind.” ‘tm their conclusions, for the veritable Tweed is in that iron building in the custody of Deputy Sheriffs Shield, Carroll and Seebacher. This morning, whould the orders of the Court be curried Mmto effect, Tweed will be brought into ©ourt for sentence. When the sentence of the @ourt ts pronounced Mr. Tweed will be sent to jail, Sherif Brennan having no more power over the Roted criminal except to consign him to the cus- tody of the Warden of the City Prison, whicR kind | ofilce, many hold, should baye been performed on Wednesday last. “HOW LONG WILL HE GET?) ‘This was the question asked on all sides yester- @ay. About the answer there 1s a reireshingly mificent diversity of opinion, Some hoid that ‘the ull term tie law allows—51 years—is not sufil- elent for the plunder-bloated convict, while others, ‘with an assurance of intuition, state, in positive terms, that he will yg oniy ayear. Should this be the result it would be a flimsy end to the great trial, wbich thus far has given the greatest satis- faction to the greatest number. im & conversation with Assistant District Attor- wey Allen on Thursday last, regarding the proba- Bulky of Mr, Tweed’s sentence, a HERALD reporter learned the following facts regarding the case:— Mr. Alien said that the maximum punishment the law allows is 61 years, and the minimum may be five minutes, it being at the option of the judge; the ascending scale there is specific regula- tions, but in the descending there is none, The prevailing opinion among leza! men is that Tweed ‘will be sentenced for 15 years in the Penitentiary. At the Sheriff's Office. A reporter of the HERALD had a conversation with Order of Arrest Clerk Judson Jarvis yester- @ay. During the interview Mr. Jarvis stated that Mr. Brennan had the permission of Juage Davis to keep Mr. Tweed in his custody, notwithstanding what may be said to the contrary. Mr. Brennan Ys quite alive to the great responsibility he has @ssumed and has deputed some of iis most trust- werthy deputies to take charge of the noted criminal, = Mr. Jarvis jurther stated that Mr. ‘Brennan had no apprénension about Mr. i weed’s safety, and was assured no attempfat rescue would be made on the part of the prisoner's iriends, In the event of an attempt to rescue tiie prisoner the sherifis in charge of him would be inliy justufied in hooting him on the spot, without the preparatory uling down of the fag. Conveyances of Tweed’s Property. During the past two years—in fact, ever since the effort to overthrow the Ring came like a thun- @erclap upon the conspirators—W. M. Tweed seems to huve felt the insecure position in which he was placed, and began putting his property out of danger by transierring it to others and in some tases selling it. In doing this he seems to have been governed by a feeling that a strong effort would be made to secure possession of the prop- erty which he had accumulated, for it willbe seen by the record below that tm some cases Tweed sransierred property vatued at hundreds of thou- Sands of dollars for sums ranging as low as $1, It will be seen that these were mainly made to his sen, Richard M. Tweed, while the elder son, Genera! W. M. Tweed, Jr., seems to have been for- gotten entirely in these transfers. The trans- fera made to Richard M. Tweed constitute him, in fact, one of the most wealthy Owners of real estate in the city, and while many of these transfers to him have been subsequently eonveyed to others, apparently to further put them out of the reach of danger, a number still re- mainin the possession of Richard M. Tweed. At the present date W. M. Tweed, the convict, is abso- lutely owner of no real estate in this city or county. That which he possessed elsewhere, notably in Greenwich, Conn., has also been transferred. It is Singular that none of ail this property has been benveyed to William M. Tweed, Jr. The lawyers, Attorney General Barlow and Wheeler H. Peckham, still intend to proceed against Tweed civilly and hope to levy upon the real e& uate on the plea that it was not properly trans- ferred, and that in fact it did not belong to the grantor when It was conveyed. It ts the opinion of jawyers that it has yet to be seen whether these ES wil! be good or not in law, as when Tweed erred the property he had an undoubted iegal Tight to hold it. In case, however, judgments should be obtained against the ex-Boss ihe matter ef levying against the property spoken of would be an aimost interminable dimculty, as in some cases it nas since passed through five or six hands, each one of Whom would haye to be individually proceeded against. It will also be noticed that some transfers of property have been mace durin; ‘this ume by several persons in conjunction wit! Tweed. One piece of property was owned by a co- rtnership of ‘Tweed, Sweeny, Hugh Smith, mas Murphy and Connolly, and was transierred im buik to one person—undoubtedly a genuine transaction, but curtous maily in the partnership ef the men who owned the property which was &rausferred. These conveyances began about the ‘time of the first trouble, July 1. 1871. Mike W. Derham then recetved property sold for $300,000 in the Twenty-second ward. It consisted of nine lots and buildings, near the northwesterly corner of Fifty-seventh street and Ninth avenue, distant 25 fect ‘rom Ninth avenue. All this was fuproved property and uuencumpbered.

Ingersoll a Prisoner and on the Eve of Trial—How He Passed Yesterday—The Jury Already Drawn—From the District Atterney’s to the Sheriff's Hands. James H. Ingersoll, better known as the ‘great ring chairmaker,” whose trial on a joint indict- ment with John D. Farrington, Jr., charging nim with perjury in the third degree, is set down for trial on the calendar of the Court of Oyer and Ter- miner, before Judge Noah Davis, at eleven o’clock on Monday morning, is again in the safe custody of the Sheriff, and, if the Court should decide to endorse the action of District Attorney Phelps, will be under strict surveillance of the Sheria’s oficers until the conclusion of the trial. A HERALD reporter yesterday learned the follow- ing particulars of this unexpected arrest and the doings of the prisoner up to a late hour last night. | It appears that late on Thursday night @ rumor | reached the District Attorney's office that one or two of those indicted in connection with the Ring trands HAD FLED FROM THE CITY for “parts unknown” in consequence of the ver- dict of the jury im the case o! Tweed, and that certain others contemplated a hurried departure. The Court of Oyer and Terminer had adjourned until this morning at eleven o'clock, when the argaments for @ stay of pro- ceedings in tue Tweed case will be held, so that it was impossible to obtain a bench war- rant for the arrest of any one indicted by the Grand Jury of that Court. There is AN OLD STATUTE, however, by which District Attorney Phelps claims, in virtue of his office, he is empowered to issue a warrant for the arrest of a person who ts indicted and on bail, when he believes professionally that it is either the intention of a bondsman to get rid of or transfer in some way his property, or if he believes that it is the intention Of the accused to defeat the ends of justice by absconding when the Court from which he was bailed 1s not in session, It is to be presumed that District Attorney Phelps believed that there was some plot to get Ingersol! ont of the way by Mis bondsmen, his fatner and hts father-in law, or that he intended to become a fugitive from justice himself, for 1mme- diately on hearing the above rumor on Thursday night, he at once had a warrant drawn up for the arrest of Ingersoll which he countersigned himseif, and ordered its immediate execution. The war- rant was given to one of the private officers tached to the District Attorney's department. The ofiicer proceeded to INGERSOLL’S PRIVATE RESIDENCE, in Sixty-ninth street, near Fifth avenue, and arrested the chairmaker just a8 he was preparing, it is said, to retare ior the night. le was, of course, astonished when the oficer informed him that he was tn custody and that he must come with him. He provested, and claimed that the District Attorney had no right to order his arrest, as he was under heavy bail, bott iu the civil suits against him and on the forgery indictment. The | officer, nowever, said he should carry out the instructions of his superior, and that he must take him into custody. It was then arranged that Mr. Ingersoll snould be taken to a hotel, where he could pass the remainder of the night in the castody of the oficer and appear at the District Attorney’s office yesterday morning to offer ball. This programme was carried out and the accused passed the NIGHT IN A HOTEL UP TOWN, At eleven o’clock yesterday morning he was brought down to the District Attorney's oitice by his custodian. He again torimally protested against the warrant issucd for his arrest by the District Attorney,who, he con- tended, had no right to make such an order with- out the authority of the judge of the court in which he Was put under such Hieavy bail bonds, District Attorney Phelps was, however, inexorable, and strange to say, in view of the strong language of Assistant District Attorney Allen and nls chief on the condnct of Sheriff Brennaa in keeving Tweed out of the County Jail pending his sentence to-day, said he would have to turn hum over into ‘THE HANDS OF THE SHERIFF. Ingersoll at once replied that be was prepared to give District Attorney Phelps any amount of bail for his appearance when cal.ed on for trial on Monday. The District Attorney said he could not take bail in any amount, and Sheriff Brenvan was immediately notided that a Ring prisoner was awaiting bim in bis (the District Attorney's) office. Mr. Brennan ne 3 clerk of arrests, and Mr. Ingersoli was taken into custody by Deputy Sheriff Judson Jarvis. He earnestiy requested permission | to consult with his lawyers, and make preparations jor his trial on Monday. This reasonable request Was acceded to, and the accused, in the custody of Special Deputy Curry, was driven in a close car- riage down to the offices of his lawyers—Messrs, fullerton, Knox & Hewitt and Compton Root— where he passed the the entire afternoon in con- suiting with his legal advisers on the approaching trial. At six o'clock he was driven up town to lia residence, stillin custody, and passed the night at his own home. Mr. Ingersoll does not wish to make any state- ment to the public pending his trial. He is UNDER ENORMOUS BAIL ($500,000) In the civil suit against him jointly with Tweed and others, and is under $750,000 bail in the Jorgery indictment in the Court of Oyer and Ter- miner, The charge against him is that of forging the endorsement of Heath & Smith on warrant No. 6,295 for $151,138 40 foriron and mason work on the County Court House from October 14, 1869, to De- cember, 1870, The legal title of the alleged crime is that of foi 'y inthe tiird degree, which is a felony and has aterm in the State Prison attached— 4 more serious offence than that with which Tweed was charged and a graver punishment. DRAWING A 4URY TO TRY HIM, In the Supreme Court, Chambers, yesterday, be- fore Judge Barrett, a panel was drawn from which to obtain a jury for the trial of Ingersoll on Mon- day in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, The Com- thissioner of Jnrors, Douglas Taylor, was on hand, and 80 was Sheriff Brennan, the latter !ooking as blandly unconcerned as could be, and as if he had hot the hmge responsibility of Tweed resting on his shoulders, Mr, Gumbleten drew the names srom the wheelof fortune. The drawing of the panel took buta short time, there being only 190 names drawn, They were drawn from some 3,800 ‘he names of no prominent citizens ap- F among ail those drawn, Ingersoll’ will probably be brought up to the Court of Oyer and ‘Terminer to-day, before Judge Davis, and the question of admitting him to bail argued. An old attaché of the District Attorney's Oiice informed a Herat reporter last night that by the old statute he did not believe the District Attorney dare order the arrest of any man ast & he had been indicted and bailed sponsibility; but he conid before tile scoused wie adinitted to bail, ifno court was in session.

THE ACTION OF THE GRAND JURY. A Countryman’s Story of Sharkey on the Steamship Minnesota. Until the Grand Jury report their proceedings, which took place yesterday aiternoon, in the Shar- kep escape sensation, it is impossible 40 tell what will be done in the matter of FINDING THE ORDMINAL, The police seem to be working very hard, and are compelied to keep their action very quiet, as itis uot Known at what moment he may be are rested. The feeling seems to have changed around the Tombs as regards Mrs, Allen, who, it is said, had her pocket picked by her uuscrupulous and ready-witted friend, Maggie Jourdan, It is claimed by those who know this Woman that she is too devoted to “Wes.” Allen, Who has been sent to State Prison for six years, and that her liberty is strictly neces- sary to tue making of any efforts tending toward the release of Allen for her to have endangered herseli by leaving herself liable to arrest in helping Sharkey to escape. Maggie Jourdan is kept very much secluded, and the Commissioners manifest a desire to obscure all information that might be procured for public use, THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY ALSO IS MYSTERIOUS, and will not make public anything done by the Grand Jary in the case, The Tombs Police Court yesterday morning pre- sented quite an animated scene. There were at least 200 persons awaiting the arraigument of those accused with aiding and abetting in the escape of WILLIAM J, SHARKEY, These people Were present from before nine o’clock in the morning, and discussed the question in all its phases, Some were of the opinion that the woman Allen was innocent and that the ticket had been stolen from her by Maggie Jourdan. Others expressed themselves as__ beliey- ing nothing at all of the story of the escape, but thought Sharxey had been quietly let out the night before with the connivance of the keepers. Many theories were broached, and Sharkey and his wonderiul escape was thoroughly gone over. About a quarter alter ten, however, Maggie Jourdan, Sarah Allen and Lawrence Philips, the keeper, were brought up stairs, MUCH TO THE DISGUST of the waiting audience, who were in morbid ex- pectation of a sensation, the prisoners were ush- ered iuto the private room of Judge Bixby. Maggie Jourdan and Sarah Allen sat together, Lawrence Philip: the keeper, standing some distance apart, HWarden Johnson was called on and made his forma! compiaiut, reciting the testimony of August K er, the boy in celi o2, which was pubiished yesterday. He DIRECPLY CHARGED THE TWO WOMEN: and Lawrence Philips of aiding and abetting in the escape. Counselors William F, Howe and Abe Humme! appeared for the prisoners. Maggie Jourdan waived an examination, by advice of counsel. and was comiiteed by Judge Bixby in $10,000 bail, Sarah Allen and Lawrence Philips were held for examination until to-day. Counsellor Howe asked the Judge to proceed as early as possibie, a8 he felt confident that bis chents were not gulity of the charges preferred. Judge Bixby replied, “1 will be engaged in Spe- cial sessious to-morrow, and it will be late beiore 1am througn. Mr. Howe—Well, can you not put it down for some time in the afternoony Jutige Bixby—Weli, at haif-past two. Will that suit you? On the formal examination the prisoners gave their names and addresses as follows:— Lawrence Philips, 29 years of age, No, 221 East ‘Twenty-ninth street. Maggie Jourdan. years of age, No. 167 Ninth avenue; Occupation, nousekeeper. Saran Allen, 25 years of age, No, 66 Sixth ave- nue; occupation, housekeeper. All the prisou pleaded not guilty. While the examination was being written Warden Johnsoa remarked to Maggie Jourdan, “You Jook quite pleasant to-day,”” MAGGIE JOURDAN LOOKED UP at the Ward-n with a countenance full of ex- pression and said, boidly :— “Yes, Mi. Jonnson, 1 do feel happy to-day—very happy. 1am awlui glad he is away trom here, poor felluw, and Ihope and pray God he will never be captured and brought back. As for mysell, I don’t care bow much 1 may be punished for his sake.”? Alter the commitment by Judge Bixby the women and the keeper were escorted down stairs by Sergeant Quinn. Maggie Jourdan, as usual, was smilmg and happy; but Mra, Alien cried bitterty, protesting her innocence of all complicity in the escape, and calling on the Judge to protect her. ‘They were brought inside and consigned to their respective ceils, ° Then commenced more mysterious business. Commissioner Laimbeer, looking very wise, walked into Warden Johnsou’s oifice; he was followed by Commissioner Bowen, and in a short time the astute (%) Commissioner Stern made his appear- ance. The commissioners had made a great dis- covery, at least Commissioner Laimbeer had. He found & man named James Collins, who was stand- ing on pier 48 on the day the Minnesota sailed and Sharkey escaped, and heard some man cry out, “Good by Sharkey, old boy.” THIS IMPORTANT WITNESS was held in close consultation with the commis- sioners jor an hour, after which he was taken to the Central Office to allow the detectives to try their skill, He was not sent to the House of De- tention. ‘Then another rumor reached the grand council that sharkey bad been arrested i Boston, and yet another still that he had been captured in the St. Nicholas Hotel while taking dinner. During the consuitation, however, Warden Jolinson produced another witness who will be able to corroborate the testimony of THE BOY AUGUST KESSLER, The name of this witness was Abraham Danni- ker, He was confined in cell 89, tiird tier, along with a@ man named William Pritchett, who was tried in the General Sessions on Thursday, on a charge of grand jarceny, and acquitted, Both these men saw Sharkey leave his cell, and also, ac- cording to their statements, saw the ticket and parcels passed in. Pritchett, who is mate of the brig Enterprise, after he was acquitted on Thurs- day wandered around tne Fourth ward, and was found yesterday by Detective Dorsey, of the Sixth precinet. Captain Kennedy directed the officer where he was likely to get him, Pritchett wag brought into the Tombs by the ofi- cer about half-past four. Cotrissioner Laimbeer and Warden Johnson were then still in consulta tion. By direction of the Warden Pritchett was brought inside AND GIVEN A GOOD, HEARTY SUPPER. He consented to remain and appear before the Grand Jury and give his testimony. Keepers Falconer and Finnan, who were expected to be examined to-day, were not brought ior any inves- Ugation, anything further in that Jine being left to the’ action” oi the Grand Jury. War- den Johnson, August Kessier, Captain Ken- nedy and OMecer Timothy Geoughan testified before the Grand Jury yesterday. Their testmon’ was merely @ recapiiniation of the testimony G4 ready pubished. The commissioners and the Warden were very anxions and expected to have THE GRAND JURY take action yesterday atternoon—in fact, to bring matters to @ conclusion at once; but at four o'clock writs of habeas corpus in the cases of Maggie Jourdan, Mrs. Allen and Lawrence Philipps were served on Warden Johison by Counsellor Howe, cailing on him to produce the prisoners be+ fore Judge Davis, in the Court of Oyer and Ter- miner, to-day, to have their cases reviewed by the ae Court. hese writs were Branted yesterday afternoon by Judge Barrett, ia the Supreme Court, and quite nopplussed the commissioners on their reception by Warden Jolson just before the gate of the’ Tombs closed, ‘The police are still actively engaged in the Punt alter Sharkey, if CAPTAIN IRVING, WITH A SQUAD 7 of men, specially detailed for the purpege, spent the greater port of yesterday searching the slams in the city Where thieves congregete, Nowing has yet been discovered of his Rareabonts, but the police seem satisfied he is in the city and are confident of his nitimate capture, Superin- tendent Matsell is leaving wothing undone to un- earth him, and has put all the machinery at his command in motion, Al! the detectives and spe- cial oflicers received secret instructions last night, and It 18 supposed they were sent out through the city in different directions to watch the move- ments of Eesyectea parties.

Full Written Statement of John T. Irving. Failure to Furnish the Proofs and the Result. More About That * Dog ”—The Tell-Tale Memorandum Book. The whirligig of time, with, all its startling changes, among which are so generally included the development of crimes that defied the most scrutinizing inquiry, instead of having thrown thus far any clear and positave light on the atro- cious Nathan murder, seems to have enveloped the case in a web of complications more dificult of disentanglement than ever, All the pains taken to bring John T. Irving from California to this city in the hope to obtain some re- Mable information on the subject and trace the murder to its guilty perpetrator, it would appear from the recent action taken by the police omMecials and the District Attorney im regard to Irving, has gone for nothing, While doubting his story in the outset, they have’now apparently had these doubts too strongly confirmed to admit of any reliance whatever being placed in his narrative. But tho written statement of Irving is a matter of record, A HgRALD reporter yesterday obtained possession of this statement, and a copy of the same, verbatim et literatim, is given below. There have been given his so-called confessions, but this state- ment has never been published before, This state- ment, as written by Irving, was read to Superin- tendent Matsell, Inspector McDermott and Captain Irving, and py them transmitted to District Attor- ney Pheips. This was some two weeks after. After Mr. Phelps had read it he had Irving brought to his office and asked him to furnish some proofs m corroboration of its truthfulness. #1 will produce the proof,” replied Irving, “if you will promise to enter at once a noue pros. in the indictments against me now in your office.” “Tcannot do that,” answered Mr. Phelps, “in advance of the proois; but show me that your state- ments are correct, and then I will do 80,” “Enter the nolle pros, and you shall have tho proots,”’ persisted Irving. “If you, Irving, a burglar,’? continued Mr, Phelps, “cannot take the word of me, the District Attorney, then I, the District Attorney, cannot take the word of you, a burglar.’? The above ended the interview. Irving, as is well known, has since been removed from the Police Headquarter to the Tombs. The intention is now to prosecute him upon the two indictments for burglary pending against him. His statement is given for just what it is worth—“this and no more.” One thing 1s alleged for a certainty, that Irving has the memorandum book of the murdered Nathan. Although the chief functionaries of the police have cast him aside as utterly unworthy of belief and although Mr. Phelps, the District Attor- ney, has shown in bis recent action in the matter a disposition to cast Irving from his thoughts as regards any further attempts to ferret the inystery ofthe Nathan murder, it may just_posribly turn out in the end that taere is more in Irving's state- ment than is dreamed of in tleir philosophy, IRVING'S STATEMENT, On or about the 15th day of May, 1870, I was pass- ing through Madison Park with Daniel Kelly and Caieb Gunnion, otherwise Known as George Abra- hams, when our attention was called by Kelly to a man stanuingin the Park. We advanced toward him, aud on reaching him the following conversa- tion ensued, Kelly addressing the man:— “Well, McNally, what are you doing here? Ihave not seen you for a long time,’? “ «That's 80, responded McNally, “and you are the last person expected to meet. You have not been home long, have yout”? “No—a few months. What are you doing now?” «Lam at the old business again.’? MeNaily took Kelly to one side, about six feet from ourselves. never knew what transpired at that tune; however, a portion of that conversation was overaeard by both Gunnion and myseli. I give it as follows:—Kelly was Standing with is back towards Twenty-third street, McNally facing wun, “Where does your motier live, Mc.’ Mc, an- swered, “Down Twenty-third street,’? pointing with his fingers towards Sixth avenue. I had almost forgotten to explain how I came to call this man McNally. [and Gunnion were introduced to him by Kelly at the time when we first came upto where he was sitting. Kelly, turning | around toward us, said, ‘Come, boys, let us go through Twenty-fourth street and we will havea drigk.? McNally refused, ing af the same time that he was going home. We parted and went through Twenty-iourth street to Kighth avenue, tuking an Eighth avenue car, and leaving it at the corner 0! Hudson and Christopher streets. We went into a large hardware store on the same cor- ner that we got out at, which was the northwest corner, and there purchased a bar of steel about four feet long, to be made up into tools, Taking the stecl we started through Christopher street ior ihe Hoboken jerry and passed over. While on that trip Keily told me that he had made arrangements with McNally about A JOB WHICH WOULD TURN OUT WELL. Nothing further was said until June about the matter, and then, tor the first time, 1 was made aware of this job. I was them told by Keily that the iamily was not at home, and that access to the premises could be readily obtatved, as we would be let in, and work the sate without any further trouble, Guunion was also present at this meeting, and it was decided that we work the place, In a very short space of time alter Ineeting I was arrested at my residence, No. Garden strect, Hoboken, in connection with one Charles Carr, now in Sing Sing for a robvery in Lispenard street, where it was alleged tnat I had broken into and taken laces valued at $5,000; I had no connection with it. so I was dis- charged, but rearrested for an attempt at burglary on Wuson & Green's pawnbroking establishment, corner Delancey and Bowery, and held to bail, which wus procured and I was released in the pare of July, a day or two before the murder of Mr. Nathan. During my stay in the Tombs everything was arranged, so that when I came out ail that was to be dope was to get our tovis and roceed to work. We agreed to meet at eight o'clock o Madison Park. The evening previous to the moruing of the murder we met, according to ap: pointment, and found MeNally awaiting us. Kelly took McNally aside, and, after about 20 minutes’ conversation with him, he left, going towards Sixth avenne. Kelly told us that we would have to walt for about 10 minutes. He instructed us to follow one aiter another, a short distance apart, and if everything was right we were to move up close together by @ signal from the man at the te by wiping his face with a pocket handkerchief, 1. was clear, the man was at his post, and we ENTERED THB HOUSE BY THE BASEMENT DOOR, Gunnion and myself going to the cellar, as we had been previonsly instructed todo, Kelley went up stairs, and when all was ready he was to call us, I should judge, from the length of time that elapsed, we must have been in the cellar avout four or five hours. It was a very stormy night out, which made the time drag Siong. very slow. At last Kelly made nis appearance, telling us to take off our shoes, which we did, and made our way u| stairs (three pugnie). entering at the side door a the front of the building. 1 think there was a taper burning. I noticed @ person lying on the floor, about three or four feet from the door, In the small room things wero scattered about, I stepped on someting which at that time appeared to me like a pocketbook, and on pleking it up it proved to be a memoranda, or Jew- h calendar, with the following names:—Albert Cardozo, Dr. Leo, Samuel Lewis, corner Fourteenth wtrect; also papers, or rather- stock, Which had beew j, also Pacific Mail and some bonds, I think the Pacific Mail has the name of J. Coke or ——~ endorsed on them, Am not a tive, but that name appears on some of the stock. In the aggregate the amount is $6,000; $275 in money was also obtained, The sale had bee; opened before we went up stairs, There any ated to be a peculiar kind of odor in the house; gome- thing like kerosene or turpentine, “altogether I don’t thnk wre in the roums occupied by Mr. Rehan puore mites and avout five of tue tume spent by KELLY WASHING 118 TANDS off, I think he sald he went to the bathroom, We stood waititig inside the room door jor him, ana I noticed finger marks on the jam of the door, as it it were blood, Our next step was to descend to the lower part of the house, and there await a favorable opportunity to get out, Knowing that we had to contend with more on the outside than on the inside, We waited at the foot of the Dake: ment stairs until hall-past five o’clock in the morh- ing, and then went up tothe wail soot ea look- ing out of the door see all was clear, He passed us once, and we reached the street without being seen, but just a8 we were about to direct our steps toward Filth avenue, aman came along on the opposite side of the street with @ ainner pall in his and ; this man stooped down and picked up rometning like an envelopes As yot we had not made a start, and on looking at Kelly, I observed BLOOD ON HIS BHIRT BOSOM, and told him of it. He went inside of the railing to adjust his vest s0 as hide it, when Gunnion saw & young Woman coming toward us from Fifth avenue. Just then we made off toward her.

You had better see him, anyhow, in time.” He asked the elder of the two women to give him a shirt, whica Was done, and he toid her to wash the one ne had just taken off as soon as possible, and, adding at the sane time, “Here is $20, and 1 will go see Nick Jones.” T leit the housé und went to iy home in Kivington street, I returned to wait for Kelly. “He caine back abont ten o'clock the same morning, 1 believe Nick Jones was very much atraid of Kelly or his triends, I never knew o! whe exact amount of property taken, as Kelly denied all Knowledge of THE DIAMONDS, which caused 4 rupture between us, Have had nothing to do with him since.

I intended when | weut over to see if he had received any- thing from Kelly; bat then, when I saw how he became afected, I never mentioned it. The con- versatioa I had with Ketly about THE KILLING OF MR. NATHAN occurred iu tue house in Suffolk street. He said the return of Mr. Nathan was wholly unexpected, and when he found out that he had come home he thought that te would try and get the key of the safe. He got into the room without disturoing any one, got the Key, and was ransacking the safe when the old man awoke and said, ‘Who's there’? On the party coming towards him, as if to lay hold of him he faised the ‘dog’ as if to strike him, ‘The old man threw up his hands to protect himself, and received tie blow on one of them, He then screamed and was struck several times on the head, He (Kelly) teen ran into the entry way, and in going down stairs he found that no one could have heard the noise, as all was quiet, He waited in the hailway some time and then got us to return to the room with him to see what we could find, LABOR MOVEMENTS. About 500 men are now at work in the Troy (N. Y.) iron works. In consequenceot the hard times the Evansville (ind.) Commercial has suspended, The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company has adopted the eight hour system in its works at Pied- mont, Pa., and hasreduced the wages of its work- men, Nearly all of the itinerant one-horse shows have, in consequence of the hard times, witharawn their claims for public patronage and gone into winter quarters, The Woods Cutlery Company, of Bennington, Hilisborough county, N. H., has decided to run its works on full time during the winter, but with 10 per cent reduction in wages. The Western and Atlantic Raflroad Company paid off its mployés on the 14th inst. with Georgia Central Rairoad sbinplasters instead of green- backs. The paymaster of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road is passing over the line, dealing out a month’s wages to each of the employ¢s, The great depression In the coal and tron inter- ests at Scranton, Pa,, has partially subsided, and a better feeling prevails among the employers and workingmen. F The three large cotton mills of J, A. Hovey, at Ballston Spa, N, Y., notwithstanding the reduction of 10 per cent on the wages of the employés, have been compelled to close up and discharge their workmen. The employ¢s of Knickerbocker’s Axe and Scythe Works, at Baliston Spa, N. Y., have submitted to a reduction of 15 per cent in their wages, The hotel business throughout the country. it is represen.ed, is receiving rather more than its share of the panic. Uniike other kinas of business, it can- not conveniently make any reduction in the num- ver of employés nor run on short time, and most ol the hotels are now losing money. On Tuesday last the manufacturers of South Adams, Mass., reduced the wages o! their employés 15 per cent, which resulted in a pretty general strike, The strikers are willing to accept a small reduction, but the manufacturers refuse to com: promise, ‘Ihe Troy (N. Y.) Times, of November 20, says:— “The panic is certainly abating. Manufacturing establishments that have suspended operations are resuming work to a moderate extent. This is observable here, as elsewhere. The fact must be borne in mind that this is always the dull seasoz, when manufacturers either shut down entirely or very much lessen their productions,” THE PITTEBURG PRINTERS’ STRIKE. PrrrsBuRG, Pa., Nov. 21, 1873. The trouble between the newspaper proprietors and compositors of the Typographical Union con- tinues, and the different offices are being filled as rapidly as circumstances will admit with non-union printers. The strike was brought about by reason of the Leader proprietors discharging all their Union printers and putting in non-union men, ‘Then all the compositors in the other offices threw down their sticks and refused to work until the union men sbould be reinstated in the Leader office. This, perhaps, ig a strike that has no prece- dent in this country, and it looks to-day as if the publishers would triumph in the end, Russeli Evrett, Chairman of the Republican State Hxecutive Committee, set type all last night in the onice of the Commercial, the Ring organ of Pennsylvania. Several of the newspaper roprietors also Went to the case. The morning papers com- ment bitterly on the action of the Typo- graphical Union, saying that even if it does give the publishers some little trouble, it will be productive of one good result—tt wil give them hereaiter the control of their own establishments, which for years they have had to be content to see run by “birds Of passage” and ‘scalawags” from all parts of the Continent, without. a slignt- est regard for, ps Mit ing papers make & ntl te tite an Those I morning, and it 1s thought that in a few days wil bave @ full supply of non-union men.

The Tugboat James Cook Sinks Four Miles from Sandy Hook. The Captain, Deck Hand and Fireman Drowne]—Four Persons Rescued While Floating Out to Sea, Anotber disaster on the water must be chron. icled, this time occurring in the Bay of New York, within four miles of Sandy Mook. The tugboat James Cook sprung a jJeak aud foundered at fifteen minutes past five o’clock on Thursday evening, and of the persons on board tour were rescued in an exhausted condition and three drowned, these being the captain, deck haud and flreman. The Oook was one of the mang emaly propeller tngs tllat hover around the slips near tne South ferry, towing ca- nal boats and barges, while occgstonally, picking up a job to go down the bay, perhaps as far as Sandy Hook, but such as the latter very sel- dom, as others vesides those in the towing busi- ness are aware tliat some boats are better fitted for work in smooth water than to take the chances of rough weather below the Narrows, But the Cook fellin with an offer to proceed to Shrewsbury River on Thursday aiternoon and after proceeding to Brooklyn to take in provisions and other necessary articles, proce:ded on the trip with the tollowing crew and others:—Captain, Charles Dakin; deck. hand, Charles smith; engineer, Alexander Stehe, bins; freman, Barney Brown; cook, boy, about 14, name not ascertained, und two others connected with the business of the trip; M. Baird and A. Haviland, the latter pilot of the steamboat Sea. Bird. Everything went along smoothly down ta Staten Island through the Narrows, but whem about half way between the entrance to the fatter: and the Point of the Hook it was discovered that THE TUG WAS LEAKING, and that so badly instant action was demanded. From the best of information bearing upon the matter this did not at first greatly surprise the crew of the Cook, as, without doubt, they wera familiar with sucn trifles asa leak and the con sequent trouble it gave on such rickety cr: but when the water bubbled and flower in from the sides in streams and began to grow deeper and deeper on the enging room floor, there was alarmand the men “bounced to the work of bailing,” as it was forcibly ex« presed by one of the rescued men. All hands bailed and bailed without effect. The leak could not be found, and, despite all tha exertions that men who know they were in peril or their lives could possibly do, the water slowly; but surely increased in depth, and at last reache the fires, Ail this whie, and yet it was not long, the tug Was nearing the Hook, and, from the cap~ tain down to te small boy, each knew they must soon obtain assistance or their condition WOULD BE EXTREMELY HOPELESS, Higher and higher, deeper and deeper necame the water in the engine and boiler room, until at last the fires were totally extinguished. Then the frightened crew began to :aunch the boat. But such @ boat! “lt was nothing more than @ hog trough,” said the HgRALD’s informant, and “instead of being able to hold sevem persons wasn’t big enough for two.” Darkness ‘was now fast approaching, and alion board were about. pomping into tne water—“every man for himsell and God for us ali’—when they saw steam- ing up the bay, not more than half a mile away, & large steamship, and instantly hope filled their hearts, deeming that they would at once be taken off, The little steam left in the boiler was sufmi- cient to blow the whistle, and this was done untit the steam was exhausted, while, at the same time, ared light was swung that the attention of those: on board the steamship might be attracted. But no, the huge Vessel passed on and left them with- outaid, an ACT OF GREAT INHUMANITY, as the survivors say, with much earnestness, that both the whistle must have been heard &nd the light seen. ‘The water was now fn the hold in sucit a vast volume that the hull of the tug began to Bettie fast, and then shortly alter, and at exactly, 15 minutes past five o’ciock, the Cook made a lurcis to starboard and instantly plunged beneath the waves, At the same moment, and with much resence of mind, the six men and boy jumped into e bay as far from the disappearing tng as possible, and they were thus leit without hope, for the boat Was not used, 50 small and miserable was it found to be, Fortunately in going down the top ot the pe house and portions oi the main house were letached irom the upper works of the tug, and in the despair 01 meu looking death in the tace the: swam to these floating pieces, poses. Kaviland, Engineer Stebbins, M:. Baird and the boy reachin, the former, and Captam Dakin, deck han Smith and fireman Brown the latter. It was a moment of temporary relief, but the misery of their condition cannot be described, The weather was cold; Spatrong wind was blowing froin the westward, Which set them fast out towards the ocean, and there was nothing in sight but the dim lights of Sangy tiook and the starry heavens, Ten! minutes after those who had reached the top of the pilot house shouted to the three men clinging to the other portion of the floating woodwork and were answered, but repeating the cries soon again, she did not obtain a response, and shortly after, seeing Several pieces ol wreck near them, came to the conclusion that 1t had broken up and they bad MET THEIR DEATH in this terrible manner. Surely the four drifted, down past the Hook, and the cold became so in- tense that they despaired of life, and it required the greatest effort to keep themseives from letting go their hold and being swallowed up, as wer their companions. There was @ nasty sea on, an the long, roiling waves swept over them contin- ually, dashing tuto their faces with such force as to reduce their strength 80 seusibly that drifting by’ the Hook cach said to the other that they were afraid they could not longer hold on, but must drop off and be lost. It was & moment oj terrible im- hone to these three men and a boy; and when they ad given up all as lost the friendly lights of a ves- sel were seen heading toward them, and when within hearing distance they shouted: with all their remaining strength for help. Thanks to those on board, they were heard, and 80 soon as the vessel could be rounded to a boat was lowered with a stout crew, and, by the aid of a large lamp and the guiding voices ot the nearly drowned men, tiey were quickly reached. The suffering of the two hours, for it had been no longer, bad made the men incapable of taking ad- vantage Oo! the glad succor, and the unfortanates had to be puiled into the boat, and when the res- cuing vessel was reached they were so heipjcss as to compel their rescuers to hoist them on board, This friendly vessel proved to be THE SCHOONER JAMES PHELPS, . - of Essex, Conn., Captain Rockwell, -bonnd to. Virginia, and at once fires were made and all the attention that possibly could be extended was be- stowed upon the saved. Their thanks bounds, but Captain Rockwell only as: that he was glad of the opportunity ad them and sorry he could not have been ji save them all. And the Captain did’ hi a Teturn to the ot and. fay SA ARE, been saved, oe THE Lost. » The names of the jost may thus be repented: Captain Charles Dakin, deck hand Charles Smith, fireman Barney Brown, Messrs.
