One Manoni, of Virginia City, Nevada, claimed that Andrew J, Smith, Vice President of the old company, and now the receiver of its assets, was, in his character as re- ceiver and as President of the new company, attempting to prevent the honest Paciflo coast creditors (represent- ing $20,000,000 of the $60,000,000 risks of the old Manhat- 4 when it went under receivership) rep sharing In Coast Creditors the distribution of the remaining asse le chi d, further, that Sinith was franchises and efiects of the old company to up the new, and that the Whole arrangement b receivership Way & faudu- expenses, losses being considered in (the reserve fund the general table), the losses on agents, &c,, has not lately left any profit for the stockholders. ‘The latter, not wishing to carry on a business ruinous to themselves or to be selfish enough to come to a dead stop and thus cause great loss to the policy holders, consequently entered into the arrange. ment referred to with the National Life, by which the latter has agreed to underwrite all the Common- Wealth’s business, good and bad, for three years, the National getting three months’ term rates. In other words, the policy holders in the Common- wealth must look to the National for their PROBPRCTIVE GAINS IN THE FUTURE, the latter igpuing new policies at their own rates paying tn lieu of those now held from. the Commonwealth, which ts to give the policy holders a suitable reduc- tion on premiums paid on the old poli- cies, Although the National undertakes to under- write all the business of the Commonwealth for three years, the arrangement entered bvevween the two companies provides that all ‘policy holders whose policies are transferred to them shali be examined, just as ti they were all new aeenene ‘Those who are to be in bad health will not be imsured by the Nationgl beyond the three years specified im the arrangement, and thus the responsibility of making everything right with these uniortunates will devolve upon the Commonwealth, ‘The omiecers of the latter company say that in all cases of this character every inducement will be made to pre- vent the policy holder from being 8 loser by the arrangement made between the two companies; jor instance, they say the Commonwealth will pay the surrender value of the policies held; or, if the | Sigs holders insist upon it, they can remain pol- icy holders in the company just as though the con- tract between it and the National had not taken ‘They assert that nothing willbe done to | force a poltcy holder to do anything disadvan- Saggons, to himself, he statement that has been published, to the effect that the Commonwealth has, in times past, paid dividends of seven per cent, 18 incorrect, The interest earned on stock was alone paid to stock- holders, There are now about TWENTY-1WO HUNDRED.

Ver: COMMONWEALTH LIFE INSU. HOSFORD’S LITTLE GAME. The Alleged Defaulter Not Yet Captured— Strange Rumors Concerning tne Defal- cation—More Light Wanted on a Dark Subject. There were no new developments yesterday in the case of Hosford, the cashier of Augustus W, King & Co., No. 32 Pine street, and the detectives have not as yet been able to obtain a clew to his whereabouts. Itis believed that the so-called de- faulter could have been apprehended had the firm taken his advice to “keep cool.” The fact is that the discovery of the deialcation threw them into such a state of demoralization, apparently, that no one was able to suggest any plan of action or to give the detectives the necessary information upon which to base their operations in their intended search for the runaway. Strange as it may seem, the despaich sent on Monday aiternoon by Hosford to Mr. King, in which he advised him to keep cool and promised that he would make his defalcation good in @ week, was not shown to the detectives until late on Tuesday aiter- noon, This, it is easy to perceive, was a serious blunder on their part, as the despatch had the usual station name at the bottom, indicating from what office it had been sent, The station name on the despatch was Cooper Institute, showing that the missing man had gone up town alter he had got usur: respectiully, ‘ANCL COMPANY, THE CHECKS CASHED. Had the detectives been made aware of this im- | portant fact as soon as the despatch had come to hand they would doubtless have been saved a great deal of useless hunting for him in quite a different direction, Atleast it would have furnished them with something like a clew by which they could have tracked him trom the Cooper Institute—by whatever route he had taken. Indeed, the keep- ing back of this despatch from the knowledge of the detectives, in the opinion of many perso: who, probably, jamp too soon to conclusions, hi a suspicions look about it, It is certain, however, that it was not kept back purposely, but that in the confusion incident to the discovery of Hos- mi 3 may be relied upon, despite the rumor started by somevody on the “street” that the firm knew more about Hostord’s whereabouts and the reasons why he had stolen the money than they were Willing to reveal. Mr. King is determined, it may be said, 10 have Hostord apprehended at every cost, and that, so far as the firm are concerned, every effort will be made to thatend. They will be all the more urgent in the matter because of the con- fidence they had always placed in lim and whica he so ungratefully betrayed. Mr. King, who 18in poor health and who is ap- parently suffering very much mentally trom Hos- ford’s action, while courteously receiving the re- porters who called upon him yesterday for addi- tional information in relation to the case, declined positively to impart any new lacts that may have been developed, alleging that “there was nothing new ot interest to make public.” His reluctance fied about the matter, on bis part, is due prob- ably to 10 HE ADVICE OF THE DETECTIVES, who, while working up the case, Want the reporters to be kept in the dark as to thelr doings or those of the firm. There were all sorts of rumors in Wall street during the day concerning Hostord and his connection with the firm, and the general opjnio) seemed to be that the defalcation would turn ou! to be quite a large one when all the facts had been unearthed. The figures given on the street ranged ali the way from $20,000 to five times that amount, but as they were all of course “street quotations’ simply no reliance can be placed on them. One rumor was to the effect that Hosford had made away with valuable securities held in trast by the firm, Of course, as the firm refused to taik to the reporters on thé subject at all, whether this ramor is well founded or not is yet a question to be decided. Later in the day there was still another rumor that the firm had suspended ; but this rumor, like the others, could not be verified for the same reasou—the refusal of Mr. King to give any inior- mation about the case, IN MEMORIAM. Unveiling of the Murai Tablet in the Church of the Incarn jon to the Memory of Admiral farragut. The unveiling of the mural tablet erected by the Military Order, Loyal Legion, United States, to the memory of their late Commander, Admiral Farra- gut, took place last evening, at the Uhurch of the Incarnation, Madison avenue and Thirty-filth street, A lJarge gathering of members of the chureh, army officers and iriends of the Com- mandery was present to witness the ceremonies, which were of great interest. The choir sang the “Hymn of Peace; then followed an eloquent prayer by Rey. Dr. Montgomery, pastor of the church, and @ solo by the soprano of the choir, “ Angels Ever Bright and Fair.” Major General Franklin unveiled the tab- let, which presented the well known features of the late Admiral carved upon white marble. The tab- jet is on the right side of the aitar. A ship’s prow, a sword and laurel branch crossed, an anchor an smali boat and @ star—these emblems of Admiral ‘arragut’s jame were carved beneath the head, inscription was as follows :— Or erey TRANCE ee On are IN MEMORY ; or ADMIRAL FARKRAGUT, 3 Requiescat In pace. 3 ATribute of Love from the Military Order, 3 Loyal Legion, United States.

The forty-seventh anniversary of the City Mission and Tract Society was held in Association Hall yes- terday aiternoon. The Rev. Thomas De Witt, D. D., presided, The gathering was largely composed of jadies, The Rev. Thomas De Witt opened the meeting with a few appropriate remarks. One of the reverend gentiemen then read the thirteenth chapter of St. Luke, to which the audi- ence listened with attention, and he also offered prayer. Mr. M. K. Jesup, the Treasurer, read the report for the year ending yesterday. The total receipts were $41,438; the expenditures, $48,622, leaving @ deficit of $7,192, He spoke at length of the great economy exercised in this work. He hoped that some of the disbelievers in Christian union would go down to the lower part of the city and see what they had done in a practical way. There were 7 mission stations with 40 missionaries; 85,000 visits were made by them last year, carrying help and sympathy and comfort and blessing to 20,000 families who were outside of all parochial care; 802,000 tracts were distributed, 18,126 per- sons were persuaded to attend churches and mis- sions, 72 ‘‘backsliders’? were reclaimed, and 364 persons were united with churches; 364 souls saved! Did not this repay them for all the money which they had spent? ontributions were given iM cash to the amount of $5,023, besides clothing, fuel, food, medicine, &c. ‘The Superintendent, the Rev. George J. Mingins, made a lengthy statement, showing the great piou- Tess made during the last year. They were reaching to-day just the better class of the poor, who hud been neglected thus far, They were carrying the Gospel to the masses, one would have to say what Lord Shaitesbury de- iberately said of London, that there were scarcely | two per cent of the working elasses of that city | who attended any church. He gave extraordinary mstances of the admirable conversions effected vy the City Mission, Pitty directors were appointed for the coming ear, among them Wilham E£. Dodge, Jr., Joba ‘Tay- or Johnston and others. The oitiders elected are Rey, Thomas Oe Witt, President; A. R. Wet- more, Vice President; Morris K, Jesup, Treasurer ; Lewis E. Jackson, Corresponding Secretary ; David D. Terry, Recording Secretary; Rev. George J, Mingins, Superintendent of Missions, The Rev, JoHN HALL delivered an address on “Our Danger.” There was great danger of a large godless class of people in this city outside the churches, and particularly outside the Protestant churenes, ‘The great majority of crimimais were drawn trom the classes outside the Christian, the Protestant churches, He could mention sone prisons that had always been fully occupied, and pore never held one man who bad elonged to @ Protestant church in the tecnnical sense of that word, They ought to use their strongest efforts to reduce the number of these godless peopie. There was dark- ness here at their very doors that Onristian light could scarcely penetrate. Men of property, even af they took no interest in this work for Christ's sake, ought to take an interest in it for their prop- erty’s Sake, for the prevalence Of Crime in the ad- jacent locatities would depreciate the value of | their real estate. Employers of all classes should take an interest in this work. It was extraordi- nary What mischie! even ignorance could do. He had seen a circular of workmen Saying that there were 200,000 in this city who could compel the capitalists to give them their rights—now, the truth was that there were not more thun 146,000 male aduits in New York. The Rey. Joseph T. Duryea, D. D., then spoke of the remedy for these dangers, and William K, | Dodge of the aid necessury Jor the carrying on of the missionary work, ‘Te gatherimg then dis- persed. THE CHARITY COMMISSIONERS AGAIN, Sceret Investigation Yesterday—A Little History of Ex-Keeper Edward Faicone?. The Board of Commissioners 01 Charittes and Cor- rection held another of their secret investigations yesterday in the Warden’s room in the Tombs. Messrs, Laimbeer and Stern were present, but Commissioner Bowen was not, Ex-Keepers Fin- nan and Falconer were examined, as also were Keeper Dwyer and Officer Langham, of the Sixth precinct. Nothing new was elicited from any o! these people. A Mrs, Tinsman, whose hus- band was confined in the same cell with Flood, the man whom Sarah Allen visited on the day of Sharkey’s escape, was also called in | before the ‘august Board of Commissioners, Mrs. Tinsman testified that she did not know Mrs, Alien; did not speak to her that day; in fact, she knew nothing at all about the matter in ques- tion, Ex-Keeper Fulconer’s testimouy was quite voluminous, and by exonerating hin from biame the Commissioners evidently hoped to obtain some startling testimony, It may be interesting to them to know that ex- Keeper Kdward Falconer wus committed, in com- any with George Abrams, allus Cale Gunnion, on evember 22, 1860, by Judge Steers, at Hssex Mar- ket Police Court, on @ Charge o! burglary. he record of the Tombs Prison shows that ke was brought there on December 27 of that year, where he 1s described as being 26 years of age, born in tue United States and by occupation a book agent, He was discharged for some unaccount- able reason on January 24, 1861, while his companion, George Abrams, alias Cale Gunnion, was sentenced to four years aud aime months in Sing Sing. At that time Edward Faiconer resided at No. 197 avenue A, and Ab: ams, alias Gunnion, ut 210 Avenue C. Falconer Was subsequently ap- pointed on the police, and was dismissed irom the force by Thomas ©. Acton, Altogether his record is a peculiar one, and how he became appointed a keeper his political iriends alone can tell, He is said to be a nephew of Alderman Falconer, and it | is for that reason he has not been held to answer, while comparatively innocent persons have been imprisoned and brougut beiore the Court oi Gene- Tal Sessions, LOST AT SEA. On the recent voyage of the ship James Foster, Jr., of the Black Ball line of New York and Liver- pool packets, from the latter port to this city, a man who signed the articles as “James Johnson” fell from the crossjack yard, and, striking on his head on the poop deck of the vessel, was fatally in- jured, He remained unconscious for seven hours and then expired. It was subsequently as- certained by the commander of the ship, Captain Cunningham, that the man wasa native of Cheshire, Engiand, and that his real name was Phillips.
