PROBABILITIES. ‘The week which closea on Saturday night was epochal in relation to this market.

The event has Luppeucd at a happy moment, earlier, per- haps, than could huve been expected in the ordinary Course of trade, and none the les gratilying, since it many who have devoied much of their means to and certainly gives a better tone to i. Aga result We may expect owners to ad here more closely to their prices, and, at the saine time, Mt whit enliven the market and excite trade. It will be seen trom tiis extract, as well as from what has been already said in. the HERALD, that ‘this sale, altnough a great and in many respects a surprising success, does not offer encouragement to the expectation tnat we should jump right ‘Sway into an active market at balloon prices. On ‘the contrary, 1t shows that the market is thought+ fal, cautious and reserved; that, while it has over- come the hesitancy which prevailed anterior to the action of the President upon the Carrency bill and exhibits now a certain investment demand, that demand is not largely competitive nor ex- ‘travagant nor reckiess, It will absorb all good PROPERTY OFFERED AT FAIR PRICES, ‘Dut it wili not assume that these prices shall be Tegulated by any siandard of comparison other than at present exists with tne fair promise of the future, tle events and figures of two years ago having no more value now than would the same traditions of London, Parts or Frankiort, or any other great city besides New York. The mecessity for these lew words of caution now that we are again fairly launcued upon a returning Wave of real estate appreciation, will be found on 2 eXamination of the condition of i THE BUILDING TRADES at this time. These have not Jor along time shown Such Guiness. With the general volume of business ‘hroughout the couutry largely reduced, a falling om, of course, was to be expected here as else- where; but the present outlook is most discour- Aging beyond that legitimate expectation, and with the uncertainty arising irom the frequency of strikes, the heavy tax imposed upon capital seek- Ing employment in this direction, by the operation of the Eight Hour law, as well as the impossibility ®i jorming contracts for juture pertormance during*the recent protracted unvertainty as to ‘what was or was likely vo be the measure of our currency values, all these things have com- bmed to check operations in this direc- fen. Prices of building wateriails nave gone down without any corresponding consumption, being marked down rather with an effort to excite trade than because of any demand to warrant the Goregoing of the largest profit. There is yet time, bowever, fora revival in this direction, and with the settlement of tue financial question by the President's veto against the chance of inflation, builders’ loans being more readily adjustable, if the trades unions can only be made to understand their real interests and meet the bosses on fair terms, there is no reason why this year may not yet be made memorable in the annals of this city dor building improvements. . Another event of iuterest in this market during he past week was HE ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEGISLATURE. It has become so much the habit, and, unfortu- mately with too great cause, to refer to that body im much (he same manner in waich the ancient Jews spoke of Nazareth, that one almost risks the suspicion of private interest in commending apy vi itsactsa, Yet it is safe to assume that even the vest abused ‘bodies, individuals, purposes or aims have in them some nog dt was so with the last Legislature, and at body, while it rejected the desire of the peo- ple 0: tis city im the matter of rapid transit, as Sat desire sound expression in Mr. Eastman’s Dill, likewise, after much coquetry, strangled dota the Vauderoilt Fourth avenue and the Third avenue obstruction bills, and gave a charter to a company which, if it be accepted on its own Promises and piedges, really means business, and sti.s, too, in a direction where, a8 a Mfatter of ‘tact, little has been expected, The projectors of THE NEW YORK WAREHOUSE AND RAPID TRANSIT COMPANY have been steauy petitioners at Albany for some Seven or eight years to get permission to improve the water font of the city by the coustruction of a system Of Warehouses along that front to be cou- nected by an elevated rauroad, that should also extend entirely around the city and be available for erainary passengers as well as ireight traitic. The very greaiuess of the scheme, which, if ever car- ried out as a lan projected, will dwarf the fawous Liverpool docks and place New York fore- Moat in the race for commercial supremacy of the itie- Of both continents, would appear to have excited distrust o: the earnest mtentions of its Bpousors, as the first charter granted the company alter paras application wus vetoed vy Gover- Bor Hoffman. ‘The projectors pressed their ciaims irom year to year with variable suc- cess, getting a bill perhaps through one House to lose it in another, until this year, when, much modified and cuanged from tne original bill, it again seeks gubernatorial sanction to become a Jaw. ‘The alterations made in the bill have mainly re erence to the wurehouse feghees of the enter- rise, which the projectors, in view o! the opposi- 10n this encounte! and perhaps with recoilec- tion of the expense involved, seem well enough satisfied to have in part postponed. They promise, however, to build the rapid transit road aroun the city, and assert they have been offered by English capitalists in advance of the passage of the bill all the capital they May require to commence work at once upon such passage, and push it torward with unflagging vigor, and this they propose todo, It remains to be seen how tur performance will bear out this, it must be admitted, somewhat gushing promise. The bill to perfect the work of the Commission- ers in the matter of THE KINGSBRIDGE WIDENING also passed tne Legislature. The difficulty to be overcome was merely some slight technicality growing out of the neglect of the Comptroller or Some of the Park authorities in the matter of filing @ map. ‘the great obstructionist, bowever, An- drew H. Green, sought to invalidate the action o1 the Commissioners because of this omission either by bimsell or some other officer of the ciiy, and put the city to the expense of having the work done all over again. Mr. Green argued that inasmuch as the real estate market nad declined since the awara had been ade a new award would be less; forgetting, however, that it would not be cum: mon honesty for ‘the city to take advantage thus of its own taohes in this matier of filing the map, which was the only irregularity, and that in strict equity owners whose property was thus virtually withdrawn from the market by the trapediment placed in the Way of passing @ titie were enjitied, no matter What the intervening chances in the market might be, 80 long as they Were debarred from the privi- of protecting themselves, to the award orig- Inully made upon the then existing valuation.

Fifty Thousand Pedestrians in the Park Yesterday—The Opening Day of the Season. Yesterday was, indeed, opening day at the Cen- tral Park. Not that the goddess Fashion asserted her sway, but the balmy air and genial sunshine were too alluring to be resisted. From an early hour in the morning the various vehicles of transit on the avenues were crowded with passengers, having for their destination the Central Park. Drifting along with the tide of humanity the Mail was reached. The green to the west of the Mall ts not yet common, the tender blades of grass being all too young to admit of the tramping of the thousands of pleasure-seeking feet. To-day the sheep held complete possession, and revelled in the delights of the fresn fields and pastures new. As yet the trees have not put forth their verdure. The swelling buds, with here and there @ dot of | green, which seems to rejoice at haying ercaped from @ long winter’s imprisonment, tells of the happy time, not far distant, when the naked boughs will be covered with luxuriant foliage and the barren limbs will be clothed with summer gar- ments, affording refreshing relief to those who have become heated with the rays of a burning sun. Sitting on a bench at the upper end of the Mall one caunot help watching the stream of passers- by. New forms and facea appear and disappear. It is like the pictures in @ kaleldiorcope; an ever- changing scene. It is made upof the same com- ponent parts, but in so great a variety of forms and colors as to be ever new, Moving along with the steadily increasing throug the Terrace is‘ reached—a broad esplanade which stretches to the margin of the lake, Here the multitude ts go dense thatit is didicuit to move along. Eager, pushing children, dragging their parents after them, force their way to the boat stairs and anxiously await their turn sor @ sail on the Jake, There1s probably no portion ot the Park which on a pleasant Sun- day alternoon presents so charming @ scene as this, The glossy surface of the water, the brilliantly painted boats bedecked with flags, the tasceful uniiorms of the gondoliers, the graceful swans as they almost imperceptibly glide hither and toither, and the broad bine sky over all give a combination of beauty that 1g a joy jorever. Leaving this scene of animation and gayety the pedestrian pa-ses over “Bow bridge’? and thus on to the Rambie, “where the fragrant hawthorn brambie, with tne Woodbine giternating, scent the dewy way.” Here, though not at all in the realm of seclusiun, @n air of quiet and retirement prevalis, which is more than acceptable to the weary in miud und body. Ketracing oue’s steps past the lake anu Terrace the bronze statues oi Proiessor Morse aud the ‘ligress, the Casino, the music stand and tae Carrousel are passed, and the children’s piay- grounu {is reached. Here a troop oi merry littie Ones shout and romp aud scamper, conscious only ol lue and health and God’s free air, and ignorant that existence is augnt else butone long, sweet suMwer day. The next object of interes on the Way out irom the Park is the Museum, better known by New Yorkers as the Arsenal. ‘The wovlogical collection ouly is open tor the edifica- tion of visitors, but that 1s sufficient to gather to- pereer @ goodly concourse, The stadent ponders elore the cages of rare birds, the hall-grown youth before the den of the lions and tigers, und of the monkeys. ‘ihe eagie from his perch flaps his wings and utters screams of detlance; tue stork, a8 @ plece of bread is thrown to hum, crooks his ungainly neck, winks bis eye and seems to say, Tue doves are cooing, and the strutting peacock spreads his tanlike Plumage, and a magnificent parrot, who for some Time back has seemed to be asieep, opens wide his eyes, and, in language not to be mistaken, cries out, “Uh, when are you going to move ont? Around the tanks where the sea lions are supposed to live and move and have their being, & patient and long suffering crowd are wearlly watching and waiting for tue monsters ot the deep to make tneir appearance. But to the Ineflabie disgust of all no monster came. ‘“Arrah why don’t the baste show himself,” iy one, “He's takio’ lunch with @ mermaid, mayhap,” said another. The beautilul building dedicated to tne sale of mineral waters is highly decorated in arabesque and is a welcome sight to the thirsty pedestrian. By this time the afternoon is on the Waue and ag yet the drive, the most important feature to @ Certain class of visitors to tne Park, has not been visited, The Filth avenue entrance 1s soon reacied, and here can be seen very many of New York’s middie class population on wheels. Already over 5,000 vehicles and 12,000 pedestriaus Nave pa-sed through this gate alone. The policeman on duty says—and it can readily be believed—that turee times as many Visitors have availed themselves of the privilege ot the Park than on any day this season. The number of equestrians is t:0 insig- nificant to be worthy of mention, Yonder comes @florid-looking gentleman, with an unmistakable English cut, driving tandem. Just behind looms Up a Park carriage with a fall load of democratic pleasure seekers. An innovation in the Park car- Tage system this year will be the issuing o1 trans- fer checks, which will enable the hoider to get out at the upper end of the Park, and, alter enjoying & ramble, return to the starting point by the next trip o! the vehicle. Here comes a team o! prancing bays drawing an Open barouche. The occupants, a gentieman and two ladies, have that air oi ease and grace which is speedily acquired by familiarity with luxury. | But night is fast approaching, and the multitude begin to surge out of the Park and inio the streets of the city, eactt one, as he or she seeks home, feeling thankiut’ for the means thus afforded ot | obtaining that rest and recreation tiat 1380 much needed by the tired and weary week-day toilers. An estimate of the visitors visiting the Park on Poe yesterday places the number at fifty thou- sand. SEASIDE AND COUNTRY. Over 7,600 tourists have visited Florida this | winter. The La Pierre House, Cape May, has bad $21,000 expended in repaira, M. A. J. Albert, tne Baltimore banker, is erecting & $12,000 cottage at Cape May.

Four Ex-Tammany Aldermen in Lunatic Asylums. A Suggestive and Startling Story of Fallen Political Greatness—From the City Hall to the Charity Ho:pitai—The Awiul Blank of a Mind Diseased. A common topic of conversation among local Politicians when in & moralizing mood is the ex- traoruinary blight which has ialien on ail the men who were promipent members of the old Common Council in tie days when I'weed’s word made and upmade pubic officiais from State Senators to Common Councilinen, both included, This plight has not been partial.

DOWN WITHOUT A RIPPLE. Doring the last year and @ haj{ Yhen who have been prominent in a certaip Way, and after their own tashion, have dropped out of political and so- clal existence, and the places which knew them once know them no more, Tney went down with- out leaving a ripple on the surface. Their familiar faces were missed, to be sure, by their friends, but it was months beiore the question came to be asked, Were they never to turn up again, were the familiar resorts never to see tuem again and where had they been spirited to? ‘Then there were mysterious whisperings and shaking of heads, and vague rumors floated about that the missing ones were under lock and key some- where, and then a muttered “’Tis rough. Isn’t ivf”? And by and by the rumor assumed tangible shape and became town talk among the poli- ticians, and then every corner loaier knew that the former “Alderman of the ward’ was a stark, raving lunatic and the inmate of a madhouse. One such case foliowed another up to yesterday, when there were five mentally discased men in the custody of ksepers who were once better known around the City Hall Park than any of our City Fathers of to-day. The names of tiese men will no doubt astonish the readers of the HERALD. EX-ALDERMAN STEVENS. The first prominent old time politician whose in- tellect gave way was ex-Alderman Thomas Stevens, or, a8 he was known around the City Hall four or five years ago, “Tommy” Stevens. In 1853-59 ne was in the Board oi Aldermen. He discharged the innctions of this important office very satisiactorily, Mr. Stevens was also President of the old Croton Water Board from 1860 to 1864, and was exceedingly popular among the local politicians and was well liked for bis genial and social qualities, When the first symptoms of approaching insanity betrayed themselves unmis- takably his friends had him locked up for some time, in the expectation that bis mental disorder might prove to be only temporary, The symptoms, however, became aggravated, and he is now a confirmed lunatic, He was then sent out of the city in the charge of a stalwart keeper, and he is at present living under the care and strict surveil- D, MONDAY, MAY 4, 1874—TRIPLE SHEET. lance of the latter in the neighborhood of the | Palisades on the Hudson.

The next prominent politician who disappeared mysteriously from his usual haunts—and they were many, for he was widely known in political circies four years ago—was ex-Aiderman Jonn | Murray, better known around tne City Hall in those days as “Jonnny” Murray. He kept a liquor 00D In Amity street, @ lew doors Irom Broad- ay, Which was named after the tamous (?) Phila- delpnia hose company of Alderman Billy McMulen, of the Quaker City, “‘Moyamensing.’’ He was elected to the old Board of Aldermen in tie fail of 18¢9 from the Fifteenth ward, which was known then as the Seventh Aldermanic district beiore the Tweed charter passed the Legislature. Tne latter became a law in the spring of the following year, 1870, and provided for the election of Aldermen on a generul ticket—that is, over the whole county. Murray, Wita the other members of the o.d Board, were legislated out of office. He had identitied himseu with the young democracy party, and tell @ victim tO his political leanings. Tweed’s new charter not only legislated out o1 office the then Aldermen, but provided ior an election immedi- ately—in May, 1870—of fiilteen Aldermen ona gen- eral ticket. Ex-Alderman George Mitchell suc- ceeded Murray in tne new Board of Aidermen irom that district, or, rather, he was understood to represent it ior Tweed. Mr. Murray never again came to the surface in politics. Gradually his mina gave way. He becanie hopelessly msane anont fitteeu months ago, and he is now an inmate of the Insane Asyluin on Blackwell's lsiand, beig at the time of his mis:orcune without resources suill- cient to pay for apiace ana attendance tn a pri- vato lunatic asylum. The unfortunate man has a wife and family still living in this city, and there is 4 GOOD DEAL OF SYMPATHY for them among local politicians, but unfortau- nately it has not assumed a tangivie lorm. Mr. Mur- ray Was at one time a popular Tammany politician, but the young democracy fight of tae tall of 1x69 ruined fim. A HERALD reporter made inquiries yesterday in reference to nis case, and was in- Jormed that he 1s perfectly harmiess, but it is | feared is a confirmed iunatic. EUGENE DURNIN. Murray’s case was followed by a still more start- ling One, the victim being a Man whose name was a cywotd in tue mouths of ‘lammany politi- claus when Tweed was at the zenita of ils fame. Mr. Durnin was originally messeuger to the’ Board of Supervisors when Tweed ruied the Bourd. He could sing @ goud song and crack jokes, and to him, elevated from the comparatively menial position oi mes- senger to the tnportant post of at-arms to the same Board. He ftgured on the face of many — contracts those days, and during the session of the Legislature in 1870 was appointed clerk to several House and Senate committees, He was elected to the new Board of Assistunt Aldermen, whicn suc- ceeded the old Common Councilmen, trom the Eighteenth ward, im 1870. ‘Iiis office he heid all through Tweed’s administration, unul the crash came in the fall of 1871, Alter the storm Durnin took a trip to California, and trom his return from this trip dates hts misiortune. fe retarned to the city in the latter part of last spring. Meanwhile, through the fim | in | influence of | tweed in his palmy days, lic had been adiitted to | the Bar, and became u member of the legai firm of Duke, Spotis & Durnin, of which ex-Assistunt is- trict Attorney John R. rellowes nad been a member, Soon after his return from Caliiornia symptoms of aberration of mind began to develop themselves, Soun they became aggravated. He was short me was sent to a private asylum, waere he now is. At first his symptoms were alarmiug, and he was incited to be vivlent, but he is, 1% 1s said, slowly recovering. A iriend who heard of him on Thursday gave luis intormation to a HERALD reporter ‘abies and hopes are enter- tained that he will ultimately recover his sanity. Durnin was Worth $100,000 within two years, oul, it ts said, is ROW poor, BX-ALDERMAN O?BRIEN. The most curious case or ail, however, which is comparatively recent, is that of ex-Alderman Hugh O'Brien, Who Was better known by the sovriquet of “Duatchy” O’Brien pane the City Hali pouti- cians. He was Councilman in 1857 and 1866, and served as Alderman irom 1868 to 1369, and January , to June, 1870. He was immediately re-elected Ag+ sistant Alderman from 1970 to 1872, He had peen identified with ‘tweed for many years, but when the Tweed charter poues. in the spring of 1870 y “Dutehy” Was told ‘tweed to take “a back seat,” whieh he did without a murmur. He was succeeded in the Board of Aldermen by Alderman | Cuddy, Who represented the Fourth and sixth wards, A few months ago O’/irien’s mind began to give way. For years and years he had estab- lished his HEADQUARTERS in the open air at the corner of Prince street and ' tae Bowery. Here he would stand for hours, nigut aiter might, opposite a dry goods store. Here pol- iticians Who wanted a job Knew where to find “tae Alderman irom the Fourteenth.’ When he went out ol the Board of Assistant Aldermen he had squandered all the money he had made during dis long political career. A pawnbroker’s shop on the corner of Delancey street and Bowery now exhinits eight of mis gola badges of ue Com: mon Council. He was hopelessiy dead as a politi cian, and he knewit. He couid not stand the tall and his mind gave way, Ore cola winter night, some months ago, Detective Farley found the ex- Alderman standing on his old corner—Prince and Bowery—witu nothing on but his shirt. The dotec- and sent at once to the junatic asylum on Biack+ weil’s Island, where he now is.
