THEY ARE ARRAIGNED BEFORE JUDGE WANDELL AT THE WASHINGTON PLACE POLICE COURT AND REMANDED TILL NEXT MONDAY FOR EXAMINA- TION. Yesterday George R. Hazewell, George R. Marshall, Edward Hall and William C, Rae, charged with compli- city in the negotiation of $6,000 worth of California and | Oregon Railroad bonds, were escorted to the Washing- ton Place Police Court for examination before Judge Wandell, They were in charge of Detectives Elder, Mo Dougall and Von Gerichten, and immediately on onter- ing the court were taken to the examination room, where they waited till the magistrate had disposed of the morning watch returns. The Judge proceeded to take testimony about twelve o'clock, Charles H. Brooke and James Oliver appearing as counsel for the prisoners. Detective Elder rose and said:—I have four prison- ers, Your Honor, charged with putting in circulation forged bonds (describing them). Mr. Brooke—I demaud au examination, and I want it j in ion | Judge Wandell—The first thing the detectives will have prove is that the bonds are really forgeries. ‘There is no proof before me as yet to that effect. Mr Gates, private secretary to ©. P. Huntington, | Vice President of the Central Pacific Railroad, was called on by a detective, He stated that the bonds | | in question formed part of the habilities of the Central | Pacitic Railroad rising from the consolidation with the | California and Oregon Railroad. Judge Wandeli—You are acquainted, then, with the signatures attached to the bonds. Are they genuine? Mr. Gates—Well, if not genuine they are a very close imitation, but the vignettes in the corners are decidedly different from the genuine ones. At this stage of the proceedings Detective Elder ro- quested an adjournment in order that the District Attor- hey inight be represented in behalf of the prosecution, and also that he might procure further necessary evi- dence bearing on the question of forgery.

THE CENTENNIAL. The Interest Throughout the Old World in the International Exhibition. ALL CHRISTENDOM TO TAKE PART. Necessity of Combined Action on the Part of the American People. THE GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS. Details of Space Occupied by the Various Nationalities, PHILADRLPHTA, August 12, 1875. Our national Centennial year is approaching so rapidly that the commemorative International Exhibition ts al- most a thing of to-morrow, A busy people like ours is peculiarly apt to forget this, and we must therefore be occasionally earnestly reminded of the nearness at hand of a great event in the industrial history of the world of such !mportance that: we as a nation cannot afford to ignore the necessity of making the most care- ful and thorough preparations to meet it. Aminder- standing of the purposes of the Centennial Exhibition we no doubt all have, but the necessity cannot be too often urged that American producers and manufacturers in every branch should immediately see to it that the great natural and industrial wealth of our nation has a worthy representation at this, the most significant of all world’s fairs. More especially is it necessary that the people of the United States should realize the necessity for action from the fact that within a re- cent time the Exhibition has assumed a@ far more tm- Portant position in its relations with foreign govern- ments, It is now in the fullest sense an International Exhibition, Every nation in the world but three has now formally announced its participation, and in all, with- out exception, great interest is manifested in the move- ment, and great endeavors are made to excel us andeach other in the variety and quality of the articles displayed. Our young Republic is looked upon in the Old World with an interest that we can scarcely understand. The stories of our marvellous wealth have reached them, and they are hastening to put them to the proof, Some of them have actually taken precedence of us in asking for space in the Exhibition buildings, and their exbibit- ors began to prepare for it even before our own. Many of their governments are demanding increased space, If wo bestir ourselves and make a display worthy of the occasion, there can be no doubt that not only will our neighbors be astonished at our national resources, but we ourselves will be instructed and learn at last that we have been ignorant of our own possibilities. THE CONDITION AND PROSPECTS, F A brief statement of the present condition and the future prospects of the Centennial movement cannot but be of value and interest, and the following facta, it is hoped, will serve to give an outline of its present status. THR BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS. The Exhibition grounds are 450 acres in extent, and } situated on the southwestern border of the Schuylkill River, in Fairmount Park. The grounds are larger and | By every | historical association and natural advantage the grounds | of Fairmount Park seem as if set apart and preserved to | fitly give place for the great celebration in honor of the | Republic, They have been the resort of the most promi- nent men of the Revolution; they were the scene of one | of the most skilful of Lafayette’s actions in the Revo- | lution, and had their share in the battle of Germantown, The mansions in which Baron Steuben, the organizer of | the Revolutionary army, and Judge Peters, its Secretary | of War, lived are still in perfect preservation At Landsdowne, which is included within the borders of the Centennial grounds, stood the residenco of John Penn, the last Colonial Governcr of Pennsylvania, and almost . every spot has some historic interest. The grounds on which the Centennial buildings are | situated have an elevation above the river of about 100 | fect, and the highest building, the Art Gallery, is a | prominent object from a considerable distance. The | grounds have been graded to alevol, and the spaces be- | tween the principal buildings will be almost entirely oo- | cupied with smaller and auxiliary structures, so that the | appearance of the whole will be that of one immense structure composed of a number of wings and projec- tions, with attractive strips of lawn and tower beds be- tw The area which will probably be covered by buildings amounts to seventy-five acres, a space aboue one and one-third times larger than that occupied by the Vienna exposition of 1873 (including all the covered courts). The main Exhibition Building and the Art Gallery oc- cupy the southeastern portion of the grounds; the Machinery Hall and the offices of the Centennial Board of Finance are situated in the southwestern portion; Horticultural Hall stands on Landsdowne plateau, in the eastern portion, and the Agricultural Building ‘will be at the foot of Belmont Hill, or in the northeastern corner of the grounds. The following is THR AMOUNT OF SPACE covered by each one of the great Exhibitions of the world : Vienna, 1873, all courts covered, together with ma- chinery, line arts and agricultural departments, 55 5-10 acres; Vienna, 1873, no courts covered, 38 8-10 acres; Paris, 1867, 81 acres; London, 182, 26 6-10 acres; Lon- don, 1861, 23 9-10 acres; Paris, 1455, 221-10 acres; Lon- don) 1851, without galleries, '18 6-10 acres; New 'York, with galleries, 49-10 acres'(a space not quite equal to one-half that occupied by the Agricultural Building of the Centennial Exhibition alone), and Munich, with gal- leries, 4 410-acrea. The area covered by each of the | five principal buildings of the Centennial Exhibition is us follows :—Main Building, 21 47-100 acres; Art Gallery, 134 acres; Machinery Hall, 14 acres; Horticultural 134 acres? Agricultural Building, 1015-100 acres. These buildings are ina most advanced state, No written statements can convey a just Kea of the grounds in their present condition, Nothing but a visit in_per- son can give one a conception of the truly marvellous progress that is being made in the erection of these structures. Nor can figures give to the averago mind an idea of their mammoth proportions. To say thas THE MAIN EXHIBITION BUILDING ‘ is in the form of a parallelogram, extending east and west, 1,80 feet in length, and north and south 464 feet in width, does not give a correct impression of its size, Perhaps a New Yorker can better realize the proportions of this pile when he knows that its front is longer than seven New York city blocks, or further than between Twenty-third street and Thirtieth street, Of this butld- ing fully two-thirds is finished, under the energetic’ supervision of Mr. Richard J. Dobbins, the con- tractor, It to cost $1,600,000, ‘His agree- ment does not call for’ the completion of his work before January 1 next, but there can be no doubt it will be finished ia a month or #0 at the present rate. The style and material of this building have so often been described in the H»RALD that it need not be repeated. It is being almost entirely finished as fast as the structure is erected, the glass and sashes being set, the tin roofing pat on, the flooring laid and all the painting, inside and out, being done as the work progresses, In walking the length of the present finished portions of the main building one would cover as much ground as ts between Twenty-third and Twenty-eighth streets. The following estimate of ‘THK AMOUNT OF MATERIAL used {n this building, which I have just obtained from Mr. Dobbing, is carious :— Lumber, square feet, about. . Tron (total weight), Ibs., about. Tin roofing, foot Glass, foet.’. .. “ 4 Weight of iron, in roof, trusses and girders, Ibs, 5,000,000 The larger portion of the structure is’ one sory in height, and shows the main cornice upon the ‘outside at 45 feet above the ground, the interior height being 70 feot. At the centre of the longer sides are projections 416 feet in length, and in the centre of the shorter sides or ends of the building are projections 216 feet in length. In these projections, in the centre of the four sides, aro located the main entrances, which are provided with arcades upon the ground floor, and central fagades ex- tending to the height of 90 feet. Upon the corners of the building there are four towers 75 feet in height, and | between the towers and the central projections or en- trances there is a lower roof introduced, showing a cor- nice at 24 feet above the ground. In order to obtain a central feature for the building asa whole, the roof over the contral part, for 184 feet square, has been raised above the surrounding portion, and four towers, 48 feet square, rising to 120 foot in’ height, have been intro- duced at the corners of the elevated roof, The following are ‘THR AREAS COVERED: Ground floor.... tees Upper floors in projections Upper floors in towers.

In connection with this it is expected that hydraulic ma- chinery will be exhibited in futl operation. At the south end of this tank will bea wi 85 feet high by 40 feet wide, supplied from the tank b: pamps upon exbibi- tion.” The building is to cost $102,000, and the contrac- tor, Mr, Philip Quigte , Was required to have it finished by October 1 next, ‘80 far Advanced with it already, however, that it will be completed entirely next mont PLT rE nti ag ne is erected, ta {a the mein buliding: The daily average of this, structure by Mr Quigley 18 298, and Mf on ri be ir.

It is located on the Lans- downe terrace, a short distanco north of ‘the main building and Art Gallery, and has a commanding view of the Schuylkill River and the northwestern portion of the city. The design is in thé Mauresque style of architecture of the twelfth century, the princi materials externally being iron and {gd 8 length of the ‘building is 383 feet, _ width 193 feet, and height to the top of the lantery 72 feet. The main floor is occupied my, the central conservatory, 230 by 80 feet, and 55 feet high, surmounted by a lan- tern 170 feet long, 20 feet wide and 14 feet high. Run- ning entirely around this conservatory, at a height of 20 feet from the floor, 1s a gallery 5 feet wide. On the north and south sides of this principal room are four forcing houses for the propagation oth hoe Lee each of them 100 by 30 feet, covered with curved roofs of iron and glass. Dividing’ the two forcing houses in each of these sides is a vestibule 30 feet square, At the centre of the east and west ends are similar vestibules, on either side of which are the restaurants, reception room, offices, &. From the yestibules ornamental stairways lead to the internal galleries of the conser- vatory, as well as to the four external galleries, each 100 feet long and 10. feet wide, which surmount the roofs of the forcing houses. These external galleries are connected with a grand promenade, formed by the roofs of the rooms on the ground floor, which has a superficial area of 1,800 square yards. © east and west entrances are ap- proached by flights of blue marble steps from terraces by 20 feet, in the centre of each of which stands an open kiosque 20 feet in diameter. The angles of the main conversatory are adorned with eight orna- mental fountains, The corridors which connect the conservatory with the surrounding rooms open fine vistas in every direction In the basement, which is of Breproot construction, are the kitchen, ‘storerooms, coal houses, ash pits, heating arrangements, &c. Near this principal building will bea number of structure such as Victoria Regia House, Domestic and Tropical Orchard houses, a grapery and similar horticultural buildings. The surrounding grounds will be arranged for outdoor planting, and itis expected that an impos- ing and instructive display will be made. THE BUREAU OF HORTICULTURE, This department of the Exhibition is working with Jess noise in the world than some of the others, but it will probably be the showiest and most attractive por- tion of the fair. It is made a distinct bureau, presided over by Charles H. Miller, and a larger space is being given to it than has ever been attempted at previous international exhibitions, where it has been too often regarded as a mere ornamental appendage to other de- partments, Over thirty acres of the grounds will be devoted to the flower show, and applications for space have been received from Belgium, France, #ngland, Holland, Australia, Cuba, Mexico and many of our own States, notably California, the display of whose flora will be beautiful and interesting. Of course there will | be the two classes of plants, those for outdoors and those for indoors, but the display of the hardier kinds prom- ises to be so lavish that elaborate parterres and beds are being laid out in many portions of the grounds. It is proposed to — among other things, representative trees of parts of the Continent, s0 that side by side the visitor may see the full va- riety of the forest products and fruits of tho country, from the firs of the extreme north to the oranges’ and bananas of Florida and the wondrous grapes and other fruits of California. In this great work it is important that the most perfect success should be achieved, so that vastness of territory, variety of prod- uct and perfection of species, which constitute the marvel and the might of America, may be displayed in such a way as to be realized ata glance, In the centre of the ball A BEAUTIFUL FOUNTAIN, now on its way from Rome, will be an attraction It is the work of the late M.

One is cautiously shrinking back from the water, Another is eagerly preparing w spring into the basin. The third has just emerged and is exultantly blowing through a conch. The figures are extremely ful and life like. Sheltering them are large, beauti- ily carved acanthus leaves, with the delicate points, such as one sees on a finely wrought Corinthian capital, The figures and the acanthus leaves stand ten feet high, but when properly placed in position the fountain will igher. ‘ ‘description of the agricultural and other buildings will be made the subject of a future letter, MORK SPACE POR FRANCE.

Mr. Algernon S. Sullivan, Secretary of the soctety’ organized to prepare for a suitable centennial eolebra-\ tion of patriotic deeds performed by citizens of Wow | York during the early days of the Revolution, continues to devote considerable attention to the preliminary ar- rangements. More progress woul! have been made be- fore this time were it not for the absence from the city of many prominent members of the committee, Their early return is expected and then the programme now in course of preparation will be given to the public, In connection with the demonstration an energetic effort will be made to:promote the erection of a monu- ment at Saratoga to commemorate the surrender of Bur- goyne’s army at that place in 1777. The Centennial So- ciety take a deep interest in this project, which is under the direction of a committee, which held its annual meet- ing a fow days since, James L. Marvin presiding. There was a full attendance, and it was determined that no stone should be left unturned to raise the necessary funds, toward which the State has donated $50,000. Secretary Fish having resigned the oflice of President in consequence of other engagements preventing him from giving full attention to its duties, ex-Governor Horatio Seymour was chosen in his place. J. V. L. Pruyn was elected Vice President, Letters were read from General Grant, B. F, Lossing and E, W. B. Can- ning, in which they expressed their approval of and sympathy ‘with the movement. The Secretary, Will- jam L. an stated that the New York Centennial Soolety showed every disposition to cordially co-operate with the committee. Their appeal for aid been re- ceived with marked favor, and there was no reasonable doubt as to the monument being completed and un- veiled in 1877. It is expected that the Legislature at its next session will make an additional appropriation of $100,000. The design has been adopted, and the granite to be used will be from the village of Saratoga Springs, and which is said to be fully equal to the best of that ma- terial taken from the Quincy quarries, y LONG BRANCH. AN ENTERTAINMENT AT THE WEST END—PFASHION- ABLE ATTENDANCE—THE IMPERIAL FAMILY. ’ Lone Braxcu, August 13, 1875. The feature at the Branch to-day has been a parlor entertainment in the afternoon at the West End Hotel, in aid of the building fund of the Catholic Church. Mr, Daniel Dougherty, of Philadelphia, gavo a series of recitations, assisted by Mr. George Hoey, the third son of Mr. John Hoey. Both as an entertainment and in a pecuniary point of view the affair was one of the most successful that has been known at the Branch for some years, Thero were probably over a thousand tickots sold, and the fine parlors of the West End were abso- lutely crowded with a fashionable audience of nearly 500 people, while the windows and doors gave evidence that the inside attendance would have been much larger had space permitted. Among those present were the President's wife and family, the President himself having left for New York on the afternoon train em route for Chautauqua county; Alger- non Sartoris and his wife, the latter looking delicate, but prettier than ever; Mr. Thomas Murphy and family, Mr. James Hodge and family, of Baltimore; General Gilmer Meredith and family. of Baltimore; Mrs, Jona- than Meredith, the General’s mother, a magnificent model of the old school, in her ninety-third year, the widow of the eminent lawyer, Jonathan Meredith; Mr. Charles Montague and family, of Baltimore; Genera! Watson Webb and family, ex-Speaker A. B. Cornell and family, George W. Childs and family, of Philadelphia; Senator Palmer, of Dutchess county, and his wife, who is pronounced the belle of the married ladies at the Branch ; Frank Chanfrau and his family, Mr. John Hoey and family, and Mrs, Paddock, whom it seems sacrilege to call by any other name than the one so dear to the people, Maggio Mitchell. The entertainment was opened by Mr. Crosby, of New York, who introduced Mr. Dougherty in a very neat and appropriate speech, Mr. Dougherty isa fine elocutionist and a natural humorist, and in his inoi- dental remarks, as well as in his recitations, serious and comic, “carried the audience with him,” as the set pores reads. That is to say, an entertainment of two urs was made go really entertaining that the flight of time was unnoticed and the close found the audience unwearied and in a disposition similar to that attributed to Oliver Twist after his poor house meal, To the en- Joyment of the occasion young Mr. George Hoey con- tributed his full share. He has great dramatic power and presents a good stage appearance, with easy carriage and graceful action, His fault is ® natural one in a young aspirant to dramatic fame. He ts « trifle too melodramatic, and throws passion into his voice and style a ‘little too frequently when it is not required. ‘It is always better to invite a person to dinner in a natural voice than in sepulchral tones or with trembling vibra- tions on the words, A great many elocutiouists. and a great many actors seem not to remember this when they appear before an audience, and their forgetfulness gives us the mouthing school on the stage. Still, Mr. George Hoey 1s only slightly amenable to this criticism, and in his recitation of Poe’s ‘‘Raven,” which was very admirably done, the fault was scarcely perceptible, He has certainly much natural adaptability as an etocution- ist, and has evidently benefited by the teachings and advice of one whose place on the American stage has yet to be filled. Mr. Daniel Dougherty, who ts famous among Shake- spearian critics, is equally happy in his portrayal of the assions and in his humorous efforts, is recitation of ‘Mary, the Mai@ of the Inn,” was full of pathos, while in several humorous pieces he was very amusing. One of his most effective efforts was an Irish piece called “Fahdrick Cahore,” which relates how the gallant Fah- drick, a powerful [rishinan, stx feet eight inches high, carried off his sweetheart from the midst of his enemies, the O'Briens, the McCarthys, the O'Flahertys and tho Murphys, on the day of her intended marri with an O'Flaherty and how he died afterward in the glorious days of 98, It is evident that these “O's” and ‘Macs’? could not have been the ancestors of the ‘O’s” and “Macs” of the Tammany Wigwam or they would not have allowed a prize to slip through their fingers quite 80 easily, Mr. George Hoey, during the entertainment, gave evidence of his accomplishments as an author a3 ‘well as an elocutionist, by reciting @ very meritorious little poem of his own, entitled ‘‘Switch-Tender.” The poem describes vividly a railroad accident which occurs through the neglect of a switchman, who sleeps heavii; on his post of duty and is suddenly awakened by the shrie! of the whistle of the approaching train. He rushes to the switch, but is too late. It resists his wild efforts to move it; the shrieking train sweeps by, the crash come: and then follow the heart-rending scenes of a tallrved. smash-up. The guilty switch-tender finds his wife among the victims, and, while striving to pull her body from the ruins, is awakened by Biddy’s remonstrance, by whose honest side he has been sleeping and dream: ing after hard day's work. The poem was weil deliv- ered and called forth hearty applause, The receipts amounted to $2,500, The ceremony of laying the cor- ner-stone of this new church will take place on Sunday next at four o'clock P. M. Bishop Corrigan, of Newark, will officiate and preach a sermon on the occasion. THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION. It is stated here by prominent republicans that the early call of the State Convention of that party is made with two objects—to head off as far as possible and at the earliest moment the effect of Governor Tilden’s energetic canal reform movement as a benefit to the de- mocracy, by adopting resolutions out-Tildening. Tilden in denunciation of the canal plunderers, and to capture the liberal republicans before they can be coaxed over or gobbled up by the domocrata, A republican leader gav the reasons for this action to-day in the following re- marks :—‘The liberal republicans,’’ he said, ‘‘are politi- cal Hessians, Their strength is comparatively insigniti- cant; still it is useless to deny that after last year's de- feat and with Tilden’s strategy to fight against we need every vote we can get, If we give the liberals n chaneo they will sell out to the democrats for what they can get. If they come to us at all they must come now, If them and cut them off, This will so disgust Wem that next year they will come back to ua,” WATERING PLACE NOTES.

Pa tite Maa NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE. {From the Greenville (S. C.) Enterprise.) In nothing is the wonderful energy of the American. people more exemplified than in the success and enter- prise of their newspapers, Notwithstanding the repre- sentative business man of this country ts presumed to be immersed in the anxiety and hurry of business, he always finds time to read the newspapers. Much as bo may neglect other reading, or little as he may know of the history of former times, he is bound to keep up with everything of importanee transpir- ing around him or going on in the world. This is es- sentially true, except of thé most ignorant classes, and there is no better criterion of the intelligence of a people than their newspaper circulation. This desire to know what 1s going on in the world creates the demand, which in turn creates the supply of the tmmenso amount of newspaper pabulam which fs required every day to satisfy the news-devour- ing public. The great dailics of New York, wish their wonderful facilities for gathering information from all parts of the world through innumerable lines of tele- gruph wires and correspondents, and their equally won- derful facilities for printing and disseminating it broad- cast throughout the country, are in an eminent degree exponents of the energy, vim, enterprise and dash of the Amorican people, As an agent of the civilization of this the closing quarter of the nineteenth century, and in its influence on the public mind and action, the news- paper press takes precedence even of the railroad and telegraph, although they go hand in hand and are neces- sary to eachother. Theso thoughts are sug- gested by the latest and we think greatest achieve- ment in newspapor entorprise yet aecomplished. The New York Hxratp is now regularly running, and has been since the 4th of July, a Sunday express train from New York to Niagara Falls, a distance of 500 miles, for ‘he purpose of distributing its Sunday edition along that route, The trains freighted with the Haxano leave New York at half past two A. M. and reach Niagara Falls at 4 quarter to two o'clock P. M. the same day, eupplying the line along the Hudson River} the New York Central and other railroads, The newspapers are unloaded from the rear of the train without stopping, and the whole distance is made in less than twelve hours. It has the effect to anticipate the regular mail at Chicago and San Francisco twenty-four hours. This is a great achiove- mont for private enterprise and one of the grandest kind of advertisements for the Hrraun, and nion, SEVENTY MILES IN SIXTY MINUTES, (From the South Bend (Ind.)
