THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN, | == An Important Meeting of the Board Yesterday. THE RAPID TRANSIT QUESTION, An Animated Debate as to the Powers of the Commissioners. THE CROTON WATER SUPPLY. ‘The Board of Aldermen held a regular mecting yester- day afternoon, President Lewis in the chair, Although © thore was barely a quorum present, there was consid- erable business of importance transacted. The first ‘Uhing that came before the Board was the first official | communication of the new Corporation Counsel, Mr, | Whitney, which referred to the opening of 16st street, PROTROTION AGAINST FIRE, Alderman Morris, who has steadily opposed the pas- tage of the Croton main ordinanee, which the Commis- sioner of Public Works deems absolutely necessary for | the city, presented a petition signed by over fifty life insurance companies, arking for the passago of the ordinance, The Alderman, who had evidently received the document from ome of his constituents, and thus considered it hig duty to present it, laughingly re- marked, sotto voce, “It's very easy to get up petitions; Tye gotten them up sometimes.’”? THE CROTON AGAIN. The Croton water question was again dragged up by Alderman Vance, who, like bis republican colleagues, has opposed every effort on the part of the democrats to give the Commissioner of Public Works power to ox- tend the water supply. He offered the following :— Whereas a large proportion of the citizens of New York have felt for many years that the management of the Croton water supply has not been characterized by that skill and | udgment demanded by the vast interest at stake; tl yund that, year b; inereaned until it hus reached an enormous extent demand- ing @ daily supply at ono tino as high an 120,000,000 of gal Tons, while. the foree upon which. this vast ‘distribution d pends has not been increased im the slightest degree, nor h Any mggostion oF proposition oF plan emanated from thi t to increase that foree beyond the force of gravity upon which ‘the water, except on the lower Hloors of the houses. In fact, @ dreadful calamity has been gradually fall- ing upon the city, while, at the mame time, the outlay and year, the distribution of water has been expense in management of this department have in- erenged your by year until their magnitude has become one son very large and populous portion of the cit pends for the supply ‘of water in ‘houses either upon steam. engines, windmills or hand pumps increasing largely the covt of water without in the least diminishing the taxation, Varthermore, it is asserted and believed that the aqueduct pon which the city depends entirely for its water supply ix, in. many places, inyecuro, and liable at any moment to be destroyed, thus dopriving tho city of its only security against @ disastrous cont ation, It is further asserted anit believed the lower storage reservoir in Westchester a filthy and unwholesome condition; that it has county is never been cleaned or purified since its original construe: tion; that it-is so constructed that it cannot be cleaned with gut shutting off the water supply, and that it, bas been f thirty years the cesspool of tho large drainage basin of whict Steonstitutes the centre. It hay been assorted in the public press that to this souree is due the targe infant mortality which bus aMicted the city this summer, In view of the foregoing, be it Resolved, That the Commissioner of Public Works be re- | augated to report without delay to this Board— ‘hat means are necessary to secure oper head | Fi ‘lex of members of Common Council, 000 of water which will insure its delivery to consumers in euch Wor salaries of Clerks of Common Council, 20,000 aq ight to receive and for which they CIty contingencies 6,000, are taxe: Contingencies Cle: 600 Second—What is the present actual condition of the Croton perry aqueduct as verified by the certificates of the engineers in Potal.......0. huey $114,500 eh of the line of the work, The following comparative statement of the apprepri- What is the character and form of construction of the lower receiving reservoir in Westchostet county? Hag it byer been cleaned or purified, and does its construction admit of ite being cleaned without shutting off the water supply? Fourth—What was the original covt of the works for water qupply, and what hae been the amount expended upon these | works Wuring the last ten years? | Mr, Morris moved the adoption of the resolutions, Mr. Blessing said—I am very glad to see Alderman Vanee taking the course he is now taking after his op- | osition thus far. The city ia in a deplorable condition, the present aqueduct should break to any consider- able extent it would take at least six weeks before it could be repaired, and the city would not have a drop of water. If you analyze this question of Croton water , property you will find that it pays twelve per cont. ww, Westchester county has 2,600 houses, and the de- manda there for fresh water is very great, Most of the people have to depend upon the cisterns, and, in my ‘@pinion, taking into consideration what a goed invest- ment Croton water stock is, $100,000 well ex- pended would give Westchester county a good water supply. The Jower part of the city, needs better means of supply. It is neceseary that another pipe should be extended from High Bridge down town, for there are so many manutfictories using great quantity of water that they drain the upper part he city, thus depriving places on bigh ground, like Murray Hilt and Yorkville, of « suflicient eapply. "E re- peat that, if any serious aceident shoult occur to the present pipes, the city would be without water for two or three weeks, at the very least. In view of all these facts—for they'are facts, gentlemen—I aim very glad to seo Alderman’ Vance taking the course he has and Alder. man Morris changing his previous conrse by offering a petition of the msurance companies asking that U Croton main ordinance shonid be passed ‘he resolutions were passed Without 4 division, RAPID TRANSIT, The following message from the Mayor war read: Executive Deparment, Crvy Mant, w York, August 1, 1875, Yo rHe Toxonamue my Common CoUNe Gextiuxen—I herewith transmit for i Transit. accompanied by draft of a resol desired 10 be parsed by you, | Treepoctfully recommend that you pass the resolution as | requested, and as time is now of {mportance to the Board of further recommend that the resolution be ext practicable moment, By paseing th ffect to your own Commissioners, I adopted at the ea solution you really but gi purpores expressed several months ago by recommending the Legisia- | ture to enact the bill drai by you to provide for rapid transit, and the action now recommended by me is buta fit | conclusion to your then efforts for the consummation which we = hay of = ean dried is the practieal aceom- lishment of rapid transit inthis city, " ss WILLIAM Il. WICKHAM, Mayor, ThE Se ey ort Tr Fick Boanp or Commissronens ov Rirrp TRarerr, by New Yoru, August 19, 1875, ‘To His Honor Witttam H. Wieewam, Mayor, Str—I am directed by the Board of Commissioners ap- pointed by you, by and under anthortty of chapter 600, Laws | Sf 1875, to forward the accompanying draft of a resolution | whieh this Board considers useful, if not necessary, and to request you to transmit it to the Honorable the Common | Council with your ioe ae that ib. be passed, if indeed it meets your approv respectfully, site hag JOSBPIT SELIGMAN, President Rapid Transit Commissiom, THE RESOLUTION. After a lengthy preamble the resolution reads as fol- lows :— ’ Resolved, That consent ix hereby given fer the location construction and operation of steam railways or connections thereof in, over, under, through any and all streets, avenues, | Jands and places in this city subject to the control of this Com- aon Council, over, under, through or across whieh sald, Com missioners are now authorized by the act aforesaid to locate railways or connections thereof; provided that such rallway® 1 connections as are to above the surface of d shall be constructed as elevated railways, | not than fourteen feet above the surface of | the ground or water, except in River street, ‘the Harlem River, where the same may be built on ‘piles ‘or near the surface of the provided 'y constructing such railway on River street sh fe in writing for itself, itn successors and change their railway on said street to ted railway the description aforesaid whenever said streets shall be filled in, and such change shall be reqnired by the local authorities having control of smid street at the thine of much requirement, be. — Mr. Blessing moved that the communication be re- ferret to the Committec on: Law, and eaid:;—This Board should not go it blind on this question, and the laying out of the exact route is an important matter that ‘this Board should have something to say about, I know that the majority of the people living in my district aro opposed to rapid transit, Aa for myself I want to know before vote for this resolution of the Rapid ‘Traneit Commissioners what the route of the road, be it what it may, is to be, what streets or avenues it is to run through. They may establish the road, if we pass this resolution blindly, in somo streets where the ad- joining property is worth millions, Before they come ere to ask any privileges they must give the route of the road, I don’t believe in voting blindly on so im- portant a matter. Mr, Billings sal tis my opinion that before pass. ing a resolution of this character the route of tho road whould be located, so that this Board before giving its ®pproval of the kind of road they decide as the best to i built will know what it is voting upon. When they ave decided upon the routo then they can come here to get the consent of the Board to that route, and they can go on and make their arrangements, Here Mr. Billings quoted kection 4 of the Rapid Transit act, which pro- vides that the Commissioners must get the consent of the local authority before fixing the route, Mr. Bleseing—May I ask the Alderman a question? If he looks at the constitutional amendments he ean see that the Commissioners can establish the route, but then they must come to the Common Council for its approval, In other words, aa I have said before, the route must first be established before any action upon their work is taken by Common Council. I think that be! member who would vote for any resolution that looked to the approval of the road decided upon by the Commissioners would commit perjury. Mr. Billings—I ie say that I agree with the Alder- man that we ought to know the route beforehand, at least as @ precautionary measure, This we should know before we give our consent to the road, Mr. Blessing—I desire to stato boro and now if this Yesolution passes this Common Council tho Commis- sionors can establish the route of the road, and if they do not re the majority of the peop) ng the line in favor of it they can go into the Supreme Court and there settle the matter, Iam, mysel! pe transit, but I want everything done in the open Hight 1 of rapid transit, and I voted for the bill which was sent to Albany to’ autborize rapid ate ith ae ce bere to 7 ent my constituents, & hover hem cect a ‘ick and thin, without fear iy Bae thy said:—My conetituente to a man aro Biinly on "the yet I do not wat transit, nestion.

NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 1875--TRIPLE SHEET this to] itated for year i tard pose id transit, ate mars sepa anf think, at least as a Board oug ‘upon the road, I think the inter. ion the Commissioners have put upon the Rapid ransit act is a strained one. Mr, Seery—! think that the roference of the commu- nication w the Committee on Law, now that it has got through with Comptroller Green and has plenty of time, will be @ proper reference. It is but proper that the resolution should be caretully considered before being acted upon. Mr. Vance—The Commissioners having once received the consent of this Board to locate the route, as they would by this resolution, Ido not think any company would invest in the road without the approval of the Common Couneil; 80 I do not see wuch danger in pass ing this resolution now, rv. BI 4—In their deliberations over the location of the route or the kind of a road that ought to be built the Commissioners excluded even the public press. they desire to get our consent to the route why don’t they come here in a manly way, but not resort to hon f snap judgment, I don’t believe in that kind of busi ness. The law may be right so far as I know, but it 1s not right if injustice can be done by it to any class of citizens, as would be done if the Commissioners were allowed to designate the route of the road before resi | the consent of this Board, If any property is injure by the.location of the road the persons injured ought to be compensated, and if no safeguards have been thrown about the Rapid Transit act looking to this ond, there ought to be. At any rate I want to be safe before I vote, r. Gilon said he thought all the discussion was not exactly pertinent to the resolution embraced in the communication, and he thought if they were read again members would perceive that fact, ‘The resolution was then read, after which Mr, Bil lings amended Mr. Blessing’é motion by moving that the communication be laid on the table and printed, Mr. Blessing atcepted the amendment, and his motion a8 amended was then adopted, Alderman Morris called up the resolutions he offered at the last meeting of the Board for the appointment of three expert engineers to examine the Croton water pipes, the aqueduct, &e., and agcertain if the present pipes, reservoirs, &c., were not sufficient for the city’s wants, It was defeated by a vote of seven to five, tho democrats taking the view that Alderman Vance’s reso- Jutions covered all the ground, and there were engl- neers enough in the Department of Public Works to do the work required, THE COST OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN.

COX AND THE ALDERMAN. WHAT PLAINTIFF AND DEFENDANT SAY ABOUT THR CASE. Yesterday morning John P, Cox, a stone mason, & man of respectable appearance and about thirty years of age, was arraigned before Justice Morse in the Second District Court of Brooklyn, on charge of attempting to assassinate Alderman Daniel O'Connell by shooting him on Pacific street, on Wednesday evening last, The pris- oner pleaded not guilty to the charge, and asked for an adjournment of the case until he could procure counsel to defend himeelf The case was set down for examination on Tuesday next, The accused stated when questioned by a reporter as to tho origin of the diffi. culty between the Alderman and himself, that he was married six years ago to a Miss Mullen, whose brother and sister Mary came to live with them, He always opposed the political asptrations of Daniel O’Connell in the Ninth ward, he says, because he knew him to bea bad man, About two years ago his brother-in-law (Mr. Mullen) died, and when he was on his deathbed he ex- acted a promise from Cox that he would be a father to his sister Mary, and care and guard her from harm. When the prisoner leit the city Miss Mary was over twenty years of age and had a good situation, Sho went to board with irs. Robinson, on Vanderbilt ave nue. A few weeks ago he returned to Brooklyn and was astonished to find that Mary had left Mrs, Robinson's, and nobody knew whither sho had gone, After repeated inquiries, he says, he found that she had fallen into the hands of O’Corfell, who, ho allegos, enticed her away from Mrs, Robinson's house, and induced her to live at No, 83 York street. Tho evidence he had received within the past forty-eight hours was overwhelming, and he waa overcome with indignation when he recalled his promise to the dying brother of the girl, The affair has created great excitement in the Ninth ward, where the parties reside, and opinions are divided for and against tho agsailant, ‘Alderman O'Connoll states that he supposed the ill Pe exhibited sn 1 by hoe aren out of the it they were political opponent wo years when ho ran for Alderman of tho Ninth ward. 0 acquainted with a young woman named Legal who is a sister-in-law of the prisoner, but so aa his conduct toward her was concerned he was pe “and send the | ment, He suppored that Miss Mullen would make a statement when the examination was heli. Cox had ‘not been in town for the past year, and he had not seen him for eighteen months until ghe encounter on Wednesday night. Political hatred or insanity was the only way he could account for the assault, RAPID TRANSIT. MYSTERIOUS ACTIVITY ADOUT THE cOMMIS- SIONERS’ ROOMS—STILL DIVIDED ON THB ROUIE—PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT IN cARs— THE HERALD'S RAPID TRANSIT COMPARED WITH CITY TRANSIT. ‘There was unusual activity yesterday about the rooms ofthe Commission, which held a three hours’ sossion with closed doors, as far as the press representatives were concerned, but had an “open sesame” for lawyers and others who had special axes to grind, either as to route or plang, Inventors who were in the lobby no- ticed the suspicious movements of certain well known lawyers, who were continually dodging in and out, and naturally thought that they had come to advocate cer- tain plans offered, Among those who were closeted for several hours with the Commissioners was ex-Aseemblyman —‘ Smith Weed, and a railroad lawyer said to be named Greenleaf, Special pains were taken to keep the names of the eight or ten persons who spent more or less of the day in close communion with the Commis- sioners from the reporters, and the Secretary, Mr, Mor- ton, and the officer guarding the door, as wellas Messrs, Seligman and Brown, were very reticent, Mr. Mott, one of the members who is in favor of admitting tho press, but who, with Messre. Delamater and Canda, is overruled by Chairman Seligman, it is said, later ex- plained that the session had been devoted to a diseus- sion of the route and the law relating thereto, He ex- plained that the bueiness of the visitors who were closeted with them was to offer argument in favor of certain routes, but he professed to be unable = their names, and unwilling to talk of the routes they advocated. He stated, however, that the Board had eent the draft ofa resolution to the Mayor, which the Commis- sion desired the Board of Aldermen should pass, and which the Mayor had transmitted yesterday to the Aldermen, with a special message. This resolution, he said, was inerely to authorize the Commission to locato a road on any street or avenue, and was to comply with the law, the act having exempied some streets, but pro- vided that the local authorities should approve any route selected. If the resolution had passed he believed they would be able, in a day or two, to select the route, as the Commission cannot at present agree upon it, AS | the resolution had been tabled he was anable to say when they could agree, The resulution and the message of the Mayor will be found elsewhere in the report of the proceedings of the Board of Aldermen, One of the republican members of the Board of Aldermen, later assured the HegaLp reporter that be had conversed with Mayor Wickham, who felt very keenly the defeat of tho resolution, the more go from the fact that it waa brought about by his demoeratic associates, Mr, John Schuyler, civil engineer, of No. 93 William street, yesterday submitted a financial exhibit of the cost, ‘&c., ef a sunken road partially through lots, which one of the Commissioners was anxious to havo published In the press in full. It is proposed to take the streets and 300 city lots, to run at the rato of 2234 miles per hour, from six A, M. to midnight, with 1,728 trains of six cars each per day and 800 passengers ‘per train, This will accommodate 618,400 passengers por day, or 162,259,200 per year. He estimates the cost of conétruction ab $310,605, or with the right of way added at $4,443,938, the receipts, at ten cents per pas- senger, at $3,000,000 per year, The expense of runming the road is placed at forty per cent, or $1,200,000, leaving the net receipts at $1,800,000, | He proposes the organization of a company with $6,106 shares of $100 cach, and the igsue of 3,500 bonds of $1,000 cach, ‘This would give a capital of $7,110,600, which he estimates to be ample for all purposes. A NEW PLAN FOR HORSE OR STEAM CARS, Mr, William Kohler, civil engineer, who hag sub- mitted one of the many plans before the Rapid Transit Commission, has been investigating the best means to prevent loss of life by accidents resulting from getting on and off the platforms, He writes to the Hrratp his views as follows :— Yo te Eprror or THe Henanp T would suggest an improvement in the present street horse cars that would be the means of lessening co siderably the number of accidents caused by passengers: jumping on and off the cars while in motion. My plan 18 that. of having the platforms closed at the sides, the steps removed and the rear to have an opening three feet wide with a step to assist the passenger in reaching the platform. A bar or a hinge could readily be placed across the opening when the driver takes his position in front. By this means nobody could have an oppor- tunity to jump off the front piotform, Should the Rapid Transit Commissioners decide upon a road supported by columne this method would remove all danger that may be supposed to result from such a cause, The expense of altering the cars would be trifling compared with the increased safety and sonventenee ita Respect- 1 ae LIAM KOHLER, izW Yorx, August 16, 1875, : The following is a diagram of Mr. Kobler’s plan:— y Btep. pf ! Fe TDriver. | £ BF Platform. st Deor. | | = Deer. - 3? Platform. 3 iz a Step. | This would accommodate eighteen verte, at each seat being partitioned from those on either si elmilar to our ferryboate, The capacity of the car could be in- creased indefinitely by inci ing ite length, Another great advantage of this boy of construction not noted by Mr. Kohler would be the fact that in the | winter season and on Le 4 days the doors would be closed and passengers would not be exposed to cold draughts admitted when conductors throw open tho doors to collect fares from outside passengers, THE NEW YORK HERALD'S ENTERPRISE. Totrpo, Ohio, August 15, 1875, To THe Eprrok or Tre HeraLy:— Ihave just finished reading the Henan of this morn- ing here in Toledo, 700 miles away, This is certainly wonderful. Now if the same can be accomplished on other days instead of Sunday, and inducements can be offered to have the papers promptly placed on sale at all important pointe, ag now in Philadelphia and Washing- ton, it will be a great advance iu metropolitan journal- ism, While such rapid traneit is being accomplished by your enterprise itis lamentable that city transit, which is of the most importance, is still the work of horses, T only wish that in my studiegand research I could find a better plan for city transit than the one I now have before the Rapid Transit Commission, which was illus- trated and described in the Heraxp of July 19. Ifso, I would certainly recommend it as such, But as I have found nono f do wish that my scheme was better under- stood, together with m: Cpe for operating such road, In the first place 1 would mention the idea of placing my double track on a single column in the mid- dle of the wide avenues. [f this were done it would be in effect to lift the present horse car tracks with their succession of cars, with their unceas- ing noise and the hindrance they offer to ordinary carriage and teaming travel—to lift them up out of the way, leaving only a single column at intervals of sixty feet instead, This would leave such avenue much more commodious than at present. Why, in such caso, Third and Kighth avenues would become the pleasantest drives in the lower part of the city, At the same time the capacity of the railway woulk be illimitably in- creased, and to the satisfaction of ite patrons. said it would be lifting the present tracks and cars, I would have a narrower gauge and lighter cars, but have sey- eral cars in train, Concerning the strength of a column for such a pnr- pore, I think there js not an engineer in New York but will say that a cast-iron column can be made and placed which will bear up the spire of Trinity church, Nor will any one say that one cannot be made which will bear this little railway, if large enough and tho foundation broad enough. If thirty inches is found insufficient it tan be sixty inches. That is a matter easily determined. Of course in narrow streets the railway will be either on arch girders across tho Street or on columns at each side But the valuablo feature of tod railway is running the cars between the girders, so that tho wheels are ontirely out of sight, id consequently comparatively noiseless; but, above ail, it is thus as safe as asurfaco road, for ihe cars can- not get off the track, even with broken wheel or axlo, ‘Then I maintain that, aside from its safety, ite com- pe aeray and its bec AG i no other ne - Ive @ siren, with the same weight an fron, . .

The potition was inthe form required by the | twelfth section of the act of 1789, and wae accompanied by a bond with sufficient bail, ag required by that act. The Circuit Court of Winnebago county refused to grant the prayer for removal, but proceeded to the trial of the cause, A verdict was rendered against the company, Judgment ordered thereon, and upon an appeal to the Supreme Court of Wisconsin the same was affirmed, ‘The insurance company now brings a writ of error to | this Court, The case of the Monteilo was argued at tho same time with the present; both cases, as it was un- derstood, involving the question whether the Fox River was # navigable water of the United States, The decision of that question is not eseential to the judg- ment to be rendered in the present case, The refusal of the State Court of Wisconsin to allow the removal of the case into the United States Circuit Court of Wis- consin, and its justification under the ement of the company and the statute of Wisconsin, form the subject of consideration im the present sult, The statute of Wisconsin in question was jed in the year 1870, and therein it is declared that “t shall not be lawful for any fire insurance company, association or partnerships incorporated by or organ: jged under the laws of any other State of the United States, or any foreign government, for any of the pur- poses specified in this act, directly or indirectly, to take risks or transact any business of insurance in this Btule, unless possessed of the amount of actual capital required of similar corporations formed under the pro- visions of this act; and any such company desiring to transact any such business aforesaid by avy agent or agents in this State shall first appoint an attorney in this State, on whom process of law can be served, containing an agreement that such company will not remove the suit for trial into the United States Circuit Court or federal courts, and file in the office of the Secretary, of State a written instrument, duly signed and sealed, ‘certifying such appomtment, which sball continue until another attorney be substituted” (Laws of 1870, chapter 561, section 22, page 87, or First Taylor's » Page 958, section 22).

A STEPMOTHER CHARGED WITH ADMINISTERING RAT EXTERMINATOR TO HER LITTLE BOY— DREADFUL SUFFERINGS OF THE CHILD-—THE WOMAN IMPRISONED ON CHARGE OF MURDER— | DAMAGING EVIDENCE DEVELOPED, Oxxora, N. ¥., August 16, 1875, A year or so ago the wife of Thomas Glynn, a track walker onthe Albany and Susquehanna Railway, be- tween this place and Colllersville, died, leaving him with two children, aged respectively four and six years. Thoy were both boys, one named Johnny and the | youngest Tommy, On the 17th of July last Glynn, | thinking that it was best to have some one to look after | hia children, married a young woman named Sarah Roundly, of Colliersville, She was but nineteen years old, comely in appeatance and evidently well calculated to be a mother to the little ones, and to all appearances made a pleasant home for both them and their father, It is this circumstance that surrounds the developments of the past few days with AN INEXPLICABLE MYSTERY. On Tuesday of week before last Mre. Glynn went to the store of Aaron Dieffenderfer, in Colliersville, and, called for a quantity of strychnine, saying that she wanted it to poison rats. The druggist had none of that poisonous drug, and gold the woman a paper of rat ex- terminator, telling her at the time that it was deadly Poison, and to be careful how she used it, “Would it kill a person?” she inquired, somewhat ex- citedly. The drdggist assured her it would, and quickly too, when she paid for it and left the store, On the night of that day, shortly after the two little Glynn boys had retired to bed, Tommy woke his brother up and said he was very sick, According to the story of the brother, Tommy had been suffering all the after- noon, but their mother did not do anything for him or | appear to notice his trying to vomit and his cries for water, When the brother was waked up in the night | Tommy was writhing in the bed and trying to vomit, He subsequently got out on the floor and roiled about, when the brother fell asleep and did not wake up again, He says he heard Tommy cry, = Manin, please dim me d’ink o’ water.” But Johnny was so tired and sleepy that he fell asleep | before he could carry out his intention to get Tommy the desired drink. In the morning Mr. Glynn went up | stairs, as usual, to call bis children down to breakfast, He came home in the evening, after they had gone to bed, and had not been apprised by his wife of tho illness of Tommy. He went to their chamber door, and seeing up to his chin and his face distorted as with pain, was horrified on touching him to flud that the little fellow was dead. Mr. Glynn at once took the boy in bis arms and ran down stairs with it, His wife called to bim out of her bedroom, without seeing him, “Is Tommy dead, Tom f? He laid the child down and ran to several neighbors, and then sent for Coroner Houghton, of Schenevon, saying that he would have the cauge of his little boy's death fully investigated, A CORONER'S JURY was summoned, and before it Mrs. Glynn acknowledged | buying the poison, but said she had not opeued it yet, and that it was lying on a shelf inapantry, Search was made for it, but it could not be found, nor could it be found in the house, After her examination was over poisoned. A jar of jelly in the pantry was found with tho cover broken open and the contents disturbed, | Tt was ascertained thaton the day the little boy was | taken his stepmother had given him a piece of bread and butter with some of this jou, on it, A small | quantity of it was put ona piece of meat and fed to a | eat, and the animal died jn ashort trme, Nothing was | adduced on the examination showing that there bad | ever been any cruel treatment of the children by their | stepmothor, or that she had over manifested any malice toward them, The circumstances attending the little | boy’s death warranting it, his stomach was removed for | analysis, the result showing conclusively that death | was caused by poison, and the jury have rendered that the child came to his death by a polsonous sub- Stance known as “rat exterminator,’ which was ad- ministered by Sarah Glynn, with intent to cause death. ‘Acting on’ this verdict Mr, Glynn mado complaint against bis wife, and on Saturday she was arr on THR ONARGR OF MORDER, , ‘and was lodged in jatl to await the action of the Grand Jury. Since the inquest it is said that considerable evi- dence criminating the woman bas been found, that | it was her intention to kill the whole family, What this is'will not be at present divulged. Mra, Glynn takes the situation coolly, but declares | that she is innocent of the charge. She says she loved | the boy as much as if he had been her own child. She exhibits ng feeling over hie fearful death,: however, sny- ing that elf knows he is better off where he is than ever could be here.
