The Rumored Destination of the Runaway. Tho police officers and the Sheriff's deputies specially detailed to watch for Harry Genet yester- day had not, up to midpignt last night, been able to trace him to his hiding place. The Sherif, how- ever, is confident that he will soon be captured, In conversation with a HERALD representative late yesterday afternoon Mr. Brennan said:—‘I feel certain that he cannot keep out of sight long. Within the last half hour I have received informa- tion which convinces me that in sending oMcers in the direction I did Isent them in the right one.” “Then you mean to say,’ asked the reporter, “that you have got a clew to his whereabouts?” “I mean that my oficers, in following the orders l1gave them yesterday before they left, are on the right track—that, in fact, if the bird Is fying to the eastward they are not going to the westward.” “You have reliable, experienced men employed in the search?” “The shrewdest and sharpest men in the busi- ness; and if they fail, which they will not, it will not be because of any fault of their own, The escape of Genet has, of course, given me much anxiety and I am giving the search all my personal attention, and shall leave nothing undone to unearth him, cost whatit may. 1 am determinea to get him.” The Sheriff also stated that he expected every moment to “hear something” definite and fresh about the search being made by the officers; but he deemed 1t necessary to keep to himself all the facts relating to their doings for a while. He added, *‘My plans so far have been carried out to the letter and, I am happy to say, have been suc- cessiul up to the present.” All sorts of rumors concerning THE PROBABLE WHEREABOUTS OF THE FUGITIVE were circulated during the day and one had it that ne had gone to sea in a tug, which was to board a vessel bound to Brazii yesterday. It was also as- serted that the latuer vessel had a strong force of Ofticers on board, in plain clothes, who, if Harry should happen to step on board, would give him a warm welcome end invite him and his tug back to New York. Yet another was to the effect that the runaway was concealed in the house of a particu lar friend, in the vicinity of Glen Cove, L. L, and that he would remain there until arrangements nad been perfected for his final exit irom “the land of the free and the home of the prave.’’ An incident occurred yesterday which seemed in a Measure to justify this rumor, which was the sud- den departure from the Sheriff's Office, about noon, Of three deputies who took the boat, for the Cove. Coupled with this Sound retreat story was another that a certain politician in this city was suspected 01 giving aid to the fugitive, and in fact engineering pians tor his final escape Irom all pos- sibility of a capture; ana that this politician was known to have had two friends of his at Genet’s home on Sunday night, who were also friends of Genet’s, and who remained among the last of the visitors who smoked and bandied to so late an hour. These two irends have not been seen in the city since Genet has disappeared, and it was asserted by a gentleman connected with the Police Department that they were seen at Whitestone yesterday. Of course there may be nothing in this, but some of the men engaged in the search for Genet seized upon it as a drowning man would at a straw, and expressed the hope that it would pay to follow it up. Statement that was given out as being official was as follows:—Sheriff Brennan himsell believes init. The story is, that when Genet was taken from his house a number of freinds were posted outside who took him quickly to his small 10-ton yacht which was lying not jar of. There was no ‘wind at the time, however, and bis freinds dissuaded him from attempting this slow means ot flight, in a boat which was known to be his, and the descrip- tion of which could be signalled everywhere, Genet yielded, and was taken across Harlem River and along the Pelham road to Pelham Bay. Around that neighborhood Genet is well known, and has very many friends, A boat was taken here, the statement goes, and Genet was rowed over to Long Island, where he disembarked in a deserted spot and was conveyed ina hired chaise to Greenport, where he took a special locomotive on the Long Island Railroad to Orieat, and thence went across to Newport. From here the concerted plan ended, and the effort was to get to Canada. It is also certain that im all these movements Genet was closely tollowed by deputy sheriffs, Shields was yesterday afternoon either in Newport or very near it, and Sherif Brennan waited ior a despatch from him from that piace yesterday ai- ternoon, which did not come. Mr. Brennan at- tributed that act to the storm. In Newport Deputy Sheri Shields will, it is be- lieved, easily find out by what means Genet con- tinued huis flight, and will, if necessary, follow him into Canada, where 4 warrant o! extradition could be obtained, it is beheved, without difficulty. This is the clew that Sherif Brennan speaks of, and the one that he hopes will be successful. Deputy Sheriff Shieias, being the one who lost Genet, begged as a special favor that he might be per- mitted to jollow him and aave the credit ol re- arresting him if the thing could be done. Nevins, of the headquarter detectives, yester- day went along the river front searching the ves- sels in port to ascertain if any one answering the description of the iugitive had applied for passage or had been on board. The various steamships were also Visited, and, in particular, the Hoboken boats. it is pretty well known that these re- searches were not success{ul, as might have been frre at before they were made, ‘The detectives, indeed, Were mainly walking the city, and, it 1s said, fruitiessly. Sherift Brennan did not go to his house on the Boulevard last night, but remained in town at the house of a friend where be had ordered telegrams to be sent. TWO DEPUTY SHERIFFS ARRESTED, Yesterday morning two deputy sheriffs, in hot pursuit alter tae shadow of the lost ex-Senator, were caught up with on the Pelham road by two detectives {rom Police Headquarters, The detec- tives, not Kuowing the deputies, arrested, and, in spite of their repeated protestations as to wnom they were, brougnt them back to this city, under the Oe that one of them was Genet him- self. hen taken to Police Headquarters the deputies were quickly identified, and there was much sarcasm launched at the heads of the two green detectives, A valuable clew was lost by their Stupidity, and it is said they have both been taken off the case, The foiled bo Beg started off again in pursuit, following what is believed to be Genet’s track. This clew was discovered by means, originally, of the ragged boy who was present when the conversation took place between Genet and his friends on the river side when it was de- termined not to embark on Genet’s smali yacht It is understood that the names of al) the partics who were at Genet’s house on Sunday evening have been obtained, and that they will be suppwned by Sheriff Brennan when his case comes up in the Oyer and Terminer on Monday next. The case, on motion of Mr. Burrill, his counsel, was postponed to that day, when it Was called up yesterday be- fore Judge Daniels, It is understood that the pro- ceedings for contempt in not obeying the decree of the Court are settled, and the question will remain whether he js hable to criminal prosecution for the escape. The statute says, any sheriff who shall Willully and corruptly reluse to execute any law process requiring the confinement of a prisoner, or omit to execute such process, or shall wiliully suf fer any offender |awiully committed to his custody to escape and go at large, shall, upon conviction, be punished by imprisonment.

The large manila paper mill of ©. A. Dexter & Sons at Windsor Locks, was destroyed last night by a fire, which originated among some prepared stock. The machine shop waa also consumed, ‘The ose is estimated at $76,000, against which there is ap insurance of $56,000, DEATH OF A TELE@RAPHER, SAN FRANCISCO, Dec, 23, 1873. Charles F. Simmons, a well known telegrapher of New York, and for many years connected with the fire alarm telegraph of this city, died uere last nigut of heart ‘diseases ss An Interesting Subject for the Ring- ites—Spain, Prussia, Portugal, Den- mark, Greeee, Holland, Turkey and or Countries Open for Fugitives. It is @ matter of interest at the present time to know the countries with which tue govern- ment of the United states has concluded extradition treaties and the character of the crimes for which reciprocal demands can be made for the surrender of fugitives from jzstice. The laws that generally obtain in America and in foreign nations forbid the surrender of native or naturalized citizens to an alien jurisdic- tion, and when arrests are made an order of extra. dition is granted only upon such evidence of criminality as, according to the laws of the place where the fugitive is found, or where he shall seek an asylum in a foreign land, would justify his apprehension or commitment for trial if the alleged crime tad been there perpetrated, With the ex- ception of Mexico and Nicaragua tne United States has no treaty of extradition with any Central or South American republic. There 1s none with Brazil. We have no such treaty with either Spain, Prussia, Belgium, Portugal, Holland or Greece. Liberia, the negro sovereignty on the coast of Africa, es- tablished under the auspices of the United States and peopled from this country, is also an exception. We have treaties on this subject only with eight existing governments, and it will be seen that the terms differ somewnat in several cases, particularly as to the number o! offences for which demands can be made for the rendition of alleged fugitive onenders, GREAT BRITAIN. The first extradition treaty was concluded with Great Britain, August 9, 1842, It Was agreed that upon mutual requisitions all persons “charged with the crime of murder, or assault with tutent to com- mit to murder, or piracy or arson, or robbery or lorgery, or the utterance of forged paper com- mitted within the jurisdiction of either" shall be delivered up on such evidence of criminality as, according to the laws of the place where the lugitive shall be found, would justify his appre- hension and commitment for trial il the offence had been committed under the jurisdiction of the pice where he is apprehended. ‘The treaty with russia and the German States (June 15, 1852) cor- responds with the English one, FRANCE AND SWITZERLAND. In November, 1843, a similar treaty was entered into with France. In addition to the offences enu- merated in the treaty with Great Britain, rape, burglary and embezzlement of public officers, when the same are punishable with infamous punisao- ment, are added. Murder is to include the crimes designated in the Frencn penal code by the terms assassination, parricide, infanticide and poisoning. Burglary was defined to be breaking and entering by night @ mansion house of another with mtent to commit robbery. The treaty with Switzerland (November 25, 1850) includes piracy and embezzle- ment by persons hired or salaried to the detrument of their amployers. OTHER COUNTRIES. The treaties with Austria (Ju'y 3, 1856), Sweden and Norway (March, 1860) Italy (March, 1868) and Nicaragua (June, 1870) are aimost verbatim with the French and Swiss treaties, with the exception that piracy is made to incluce mutiny on board a ship whenever the crew or part thereol, by fraud or violence against the commander, have taken possession of the vessel. ‘The treaty with lexico (December 11, 1861) takes in the offences of introducing or making instruments for the fabrication of counterieit coi or bank notes, or other paper current as money; and the crime of larceny ol cattle or other goods and chattels of the value Of $25 or more, when the same is committed within the frontier States or Territories of the contracting parties, RECAPITULATION. To recapitulate, we have extradition treaties only with Austria, France, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Sweden and Norway, Mexico, Switzeriand and Nicaragua. We have vone with Russia or Spain, Belgium, Turkey, Portugal, Denmark, Hol- land or Greece; or, as stated, none with South or Central American governments, excepting Mexico and Nicaragua. The colonies and dependencies of the Powers with which we have extradition trea- ties are included, so that Canada and all the Brit- ish West India islands are iorbidden ground to American fugitives, while Cuba and Porto Rico are open to them, if they are bold enough to trust Site to the mercies of the Spanish volun- eers. THE HIGHBRIDGE (N. J. TRAGEDY. Sudden Termination and Unexpected Result of the Trial—Brennan Acquit- ted. ‘Those who crowded the Court House at Fleming- ton yesterday were treated to a genuine surprise by the sudden termination of the trial. Aiter the examination of a few witnesses for the defence counsel on both sides agreed to submit the case to the jury without argument. Chief Justice Beasley delivered lis charge, and the jury deliberatea only 10 minutes, when they came into court with a verdict of not guilty, Brennan fairly jumped from his seat, so overcome was he with excitement at the sudden announcement. He grasped the hands of bis counsel, and, casting a look at the jurors, muttered words of gratitude that were not audible. The audience gasped for breath tor a few moments; then there was a succession of murmurs, followed by Hebe daar throughout the different groups that discussed the case during the day. According to the constitution Brennan cannot ve placed on trial beiore a jury of his peers on this same charge; but the verdict 1s so strangely in conflict with public opinion that his further resi- dence among the people of Highbridge will be very uncomlongabie. The result 18 attributed to the weight attached by the jury to the testimony of Dr. Coleman, whose opinion regarding the cause of death was at variance with many imypor- tant points ol the medical testimony relied on by the prosecution. NOT A HOMICIDE, Only an Accident from Drunkenness— Prisoners Discharged. Yesterday morning Coroner Young received in- formation that Michael O’Brien, @ man 34 years of age, and a native of Ireland, had died under sus- picious circumstances at his residence, No. 414 West Seventeenth street, Surgeon Ross, of the Sixteenth precinct, reports that O’Brien had called at the house of Patrick Haggerty, No. 86 Tenth avenue, and, in leaving, either fell or was thrown down stairs, striking on his head; O’Brien was taken home by Haggerty and Richard Riley and died soon after reaching there. Haggerty and Kiley were detained at the station house to await the action of the Coroner, Captain Uherry, of the Sixteenth precinct, also detained several other persons who were suspected 01 knowing something con- cerning the matter. Later in the day Coroner Young waited upon Captain Cherry at the sta- ton house and made an informal examination of Haggerty, Riley and others, who were detained, which showed conclusively that O’Brien fell down @ Might of stairs while drank and thus received his injuries, Dr. Marsh made an examination of the body, and was of the opinion that death resulted irom concussion of the brain and perhaps iracture of the skull. Coroner Young, after listening to the statements of the prisouers in custody, dis- charged them. CRIME, CRIMINALS AND THE POLICE OF WEWARK, The recent boid burglaries in Newark and escape of the burglars has had the effect of sharpening up the wits of the police, who are now on the qui vive for such gentry. Yesterday morning tne grocery store of Mr. Welsh, in Monroe street. was entered and rifled of a large quantity of groceries, liquors, cigars, &c. Wiliam, Fagan alas Tom Rogers, John Hartinan and Owén Clark were canght confessed the crime, Clark and Hartman were found secreced in the house of Rosa Sheridan, a woman who spent a term in the County Jail tor Slaying her brother-in-law With,a smoothing iron. Several sneak thieves have apo been arrested, as also @ youth charged with% 40 cent bighway robbery. A BEQUEST VOID POR UNCERTAINTY. Ba.timone, Md,, Dec. 23, 1873. In the Circuit Court of Baltimore city this morn- ing Judge Pinkney decided that a bequest to the Bishop of Western Maryland, in trag, tobe used for the erection of @ mission churck in the city of Baltimore, was void on the ground of uncertainty. The late Rev. George F. Morrison, in his will, alter making a number of bequests, declares as fol- lows:—“The balance I devise to the Bishop of Western Maryland, in trust, to be used for the erection of a mission church in the city of Balti. more.” Bishop Whittingham sued the execntur of Mr. Morrison's wii! to recover the bequest, and the Conrt says there cannot be a trustee without & cestuy que trust, and if it cannot be ascertained who the cestny que trust is it 18 the same as if there were none, and wie bequest is Void for uncertainty. THE EASTERN RAILROAD DISASTER. Bipperord, Me., Dec. 23, 1873. The Coroner's inquest in the case of the Eastern Railroad disaster was resumed this morning. ‘The evidence so far given seems to attach the chief re- sponsibility for the disaster to the deat conductor, Miott the up train hands aye fee cow rea signais out, and the down train met to the contrary, The attorney tor ment moved to exciude re- ters this and it is probable that here: alter the sessions Will be secrets THE RING HEGIRA, _e Why the Indicted Failed to Appear in Court They Do Not Like the Condition of the At- mosphere, but Will Turn Up in Ten Days... Inquiries as to the whereabouts of Michael Nore ton, Thomas Coman and John J. Walsh were fre- quently made yesterday around the Court House and the City Hall; but the questioners received 20 satisfactory answer. At the District Attorney’s office, however, there was more confidence in the future developments of the proceedings in the case of these notorious Ring criminals. The Dis- trict attorney stated that no measures were taken by himself or by his office to discover these men, neither did he think their sureties were using any endeavors, or had they authorized any, in that dt- rection, The oelief in the office seemed to be that the three accused would sur- render at what they thought the proper time, and that their present absence was explain- able by the fear that they felt tnat, under the pres- ent state of public opinion, they would be called upon to surrender, and that the sequel of thas would be a COMMITMENT TO THE TOMBS, there to await their trial. This tney had avoided, either by seclusion or an absence from the city. It is believed in the same well informed quarters that should théy not surrender, in the course of a week or so, they will steal pack to the city shortly, under the belief that the forfeiture of their bail will give them treedom from arrest. In this they will be mistaken. At any cime in the future, and even aiter their bondsmen have paid the money, they will be liable to arrest on a bench war- rant, and, undoubtedly, will be arrested, In his pursuit of information yesterday 8 HERALD reporter stumbled across a gentleman who intro- duced him to a prominent politician who has gen- erally been considered a warm triend of one, at least, of the fugitives. The reporter at once asked if he had any news of the whereabouts of ex-Thunderboit Norton, Walsh, or ex-Aldermap Tom Coman, the County Court House Commis- sioners, or of Miller, the Court House carpenter. He peremptorily replied—‘Why, Walsh and l- ler have been out of this city for a considerable time. Miller lett New York immediately aiter the conviction of the ‘Boss,’ and Walsh is absent for some weeks, also.’’ “How about the others?’” “Well, they have leit the city.” “When did they leave, might [ ask ?"” “There was a Caucus held at the Maison Dorée, om Sunday mght last, and certain republivan frends of Mr. Norton advised them w leave for the present. He and Tom Coman left the city at am early hour Monday morning, just about the time that Harry Genet left Harlem for the North.” “Ig the absence to be only temporary t’” “Yes; 1 can tell you authoritatively that Mike Norton will appear in Court to answer the charge against him when the Court opens on next Friday week. Of course, Coman need not appear untila verdict of not guilty has been rendered, or until he has been convicted, as the charge against him is only misdemeanor, and he can be convicted or ac- quitted in his absence.” “Why should Norton select the morning of next Friday week ?”” “You see, it will be alter the commencement of the new year.” “But why alter the first of the new year?” “Barlow will have gone out of the oftice of At- torney General. Mr. Barlow, it is said, did not care to take the responsibility of prosecuting. these suits in person; but the ino Se General, Mr. Pratt, they believe, will. a conse-' quence of the expiration of the term of Attorney, General Barlow, Messrs. Lyman ‘remain and Wheeler H. Peckham will cease to be public prose- cutois, Those men who have been indicted and who did not answer to their names on last Monday moruing believed that the atmosphere is 80 redo- lent of convictions just now that any one who was at all identified with the old régime could not get a verdict of not guilty rendered by any jury. Besides, you know that an arrangement was) made, it is said, just before the last election that if Norton would oy yoo the republican candi- dates for office it would be so arranged by them) that the indictments against him and those who would support the republican and Apollo Hall can- didates would be pigeon-holed. At the caucus bed at the Maison Dorée, on Sunday night last, after THE UNEXPECTED CONVICTION of Harry Genet, Norton was told that it would not do to appear in Court on Monday morning last, as the promise which had been made by republican: friends could not have been kept by the rea- son of the imminent change in the prosecutin; officers. Of course you must take the promise ani the seeeeansnt explanation for what they are worth.’ “Then they will turn up for trial eventually? ”” “Mike Norton will, 1 can tell you. Ofcourse the ° case of ex-Alderman Coman, which is set down for next Friday, 1s of a very different nature. It will commence on Friday, and he can appear by counsel, the charge against him being SIMPLY MISDEMEANOR. He can wait if he wants to until he finda out which way the wind blows. The other two, Miller and Waish, I do not know so much about, as they have been absent from the city for some time.” “What about Wiliam Hennesy Cooke? Has he fled, too?” “A morning paper of yesterday made a most ridiculous statement about that man. He is at present keeping a barroom at Sydenham (the Crystal Palace), near London, England. He calls his place an ‘American bar,’ Where he dispenses ‘American drinks’ to the astonished natives at moderate prices. A letter was received from Wil- liam Hennesy Cooke, dated from his bi Sydenham to this city, within ashort time.” “How long has he been in this pious retreat?” “For nearly five months now.” hiner he be extradited on the indictment against im 9?" “Certainly. His indictment, I believe, is closer than those of the others.” BENGAL, Condition of the Crops—Lhe Prospect of Famine in the Province. The Calcutta (E. I.) Englishman of the 14th of November publishes the following report of the condition of the crops in the Province of Bengal:— Another resolution on the famine in Bengal, en- tering more into particulars as to the course to be adopted, bas been published by the government of india. ‘The latest reports on the prospects of the crops in Bengal are no better, though slight suowers of rain tell during the past week.

Work Commenced on the Gilbert Ele vated Railroad. Last Monday, about 10 men erected a pile driver on the corner of West Broadway and North Moore street, and broke ground for the foundation of the Gubert Elevated Ratlroaa, Inquiries yesterday from the President of the company, Mr. Foster, Jr., failea to elicit any information as to the intentions: of the company, but from other parties it was ascertained that the company has contracted with Mr. Charles Guidet, of Chambers street, to lay the foundation for eight pillars on West Broadway, be- tween Leonard and North Moore streets, The foan- dations are to be of masonry, concrete and granite, The granite coping will be 6 feet long, 3 Jeet wide and 18 inches deep, upon which t are will rest. The foundation witl extend 7 feet, or 3 feet below oe ee Hi) contrat ie found it necessary to drive piles, an he ing very slowly by hand power. It was impossibie to Jearn whether the company intend to push the work this winter; but, as they have only contracted jor the erection of the foundation for one block, color is given to the rumor that the work has been commenced at this time to induce favorable legis~ lation at Albany.
