» 8 RAPID TRANSIT. The Route To Be Selected This Week. A REPLY TO MR. PHILLIPS. The Facetions President of the Third Avenue Line Tendered Some Facts. ‘The remarks of Mr. Phillips, President of the Third Avenue Railroad Company, before the Rapid Transit Commission, were yesterday supplemented by con- versations with Messrs. Scott & Cartwright, of the Greenwich street raad, and also with representatives of the proposed Gilbert plan These gentlemen had been be- fore the Commission several times at their secret meet- mga. The proceedings have been kept entirely private The Commissionors and their officials, on being ques- Moned relative thereto, invariably answered that the subject of a route was under discussion—nothing more. ‘Mr. Scott, who represents the Greenwich street people, on being approached by the Hsratp representative for ‘an interview, stated that he was not yot at liberty to talk, ‘but would soon give his views to the public. The gen- ‘tleman has evidently beon choked off for the present by the Commission. This mysterious condition of affairs thas led to considerable outside speculation and sus picion. It shows the absurdity of this important Com- mission holding daily star chamber assemblages. The @ifficulty of procuring authentic and reliable informa tion relative to the movements of the Commission is quite apparent. Yesteraay was no exception to the rula The Commis- sioners assembled at twelve o’clock and adjourned at three, An interview was sought with the Cornelis, in Centre street, relative to thetr pidns and any connection they may have with the Third Avenue Railroad. Appli- eation at the office of the firm gleaned the information that Mr. J. M. Cornel] was absent in Vermont and would not return to the city before a month had elapsed. The ‘other partner, Mr. J. B. Cornell, had taken his departure for Long Branch, but would be back in town to-day, No definite action has yet been taken by the Commission ers on either route or plan. Mayor Wickham yesterday received a despatch from Mr. Samuel B. Ruggles stating that he had just mailed a document intended for the Commission. Mr, Ruggles ts spending his vacation a4 Salisbury, Vt. Next Monday the sixty days al lowed the Rapid Transit Commission under the law for the selection of a route will have expired, It is, there fore, essential that they should discharge this important @uty before the close of the week. MORE COMMUNICATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS, Mr. Ira Buckman yesterday sent in an estimate for the cost of an elevated road. Ho proposes to erect one mile of single track railway for $185,000. This includes Piers of solid concrete columna, cross ties and roadway, constructed after the plan of his model, but with new ‘and improved form of girder. Attached to the commn- mication of Mr. Buckman is a lengthy description of this girder, Mr, Le Roy Stone, President of the La France Manu- facturing Company, asks the Commissioners to visit Philadelphia on the 12th inst. for the purpose of ex- ming a working moael of an elevated railroad. This gentleman also sends a lengthy communication tn ad- ‘Yocacy of the peculiar plan originated by his company. He claims that the best parent plan is to wupport the railway on a single row of col- ‘umns along the curbstone, asin the Greenwich street road, which fortunately has proved the feasibility of such support But as even this road in its improved state, with crossties, guard rails, &c, has a heavy and ‘unsightly appearance and a top-heavy effect, while it still lacks an effectual provision against derailment, and ‘as withal so much extra material is employed in spread- ing the supports at top for two rails, and in bracing and ©onnecting the two strin; together it may be con- eluded that a single row of columns and a double line of Fail do not belong together. The ingle line of eu columns leads then paturally to a single and central line of bearing for the vehicles and such a bearing is furnished in the plan by the mid rail laid directly over the posts, while Side rails becoming only guide rails can perform their office as well and be better supported at a ce below ‘the mid or bearing rail. ‘The three being connected by iron lattice work form @ triangular girder, peculiarly adapted to resist verti- eal pressure, lateral thrusts and torsional strains. In arranging cars for a road of this description trucks are Wnvecessary, as the bearing and guide wheels can be attached directly and separately to the car body, the latter being divided for a portion of its height to admit the girder, which may be of so great depth as to allow of ita being of @ very light and open construction, so sas, nile Preserving Ft strength and rigidity, it remarkably light and grace! and in the distance scarcely Doticeadle. aaa The proposition of this company concludes with the Siena statements :—“With a plan so simple and our exte tacilities for construction, If no further exper- iment is found necessary, we should be able to build, equip and put in full o ion five miles of double track road in six months’ time. We have made no sug- gestions as to routes, since our road is adaptedto any Foute, whether the street be wide or narrow, and is 60 inexpensive that it may be duplicated until all desirable ” routes are filled, ‘THE THIRD AVENUE RAILROAD. ‘The neat little speech, or rather the adroit and pa thetic protest, made before the Rapid Transit Commis- sion by Mr. 8. L. Phillips, President of the Third Ave wmue Railroad Company, has excited some comment Indeed, the fattening stockholders of the concern must Ihave been alarmed at the statement made by him to the effect that the profits of the road were much less than People imagined, though it is to be hoped that the pov- erty stricken line, in which Mr. President Phillips says $4,000,000 is invested, will yet rally and at least meet its liabilities, to say nothing of s nominal dividend, which, in times to come, may requite infestments in the stock. In order that the Third Avenue Railroad Company may not be Bwept entirely out of existence, its bland president protests, and protests emphatically, against the construction of a rapid transit road that would infringo Bpon the precincts of the fashionable clothes mart of Chatham street, the classic purlieus of the Bowery, or the romantic surroundings of the grand Third avenue itself, Those charming spots, he said, were the main arteries of the city of New York, and, with an eye for the beantiful, he thought that the erection of the piers and supports of an elevated road ‘Would so encroach upon their width as to seriously in- Jure the value of property along the road, destroying the stores as places of business and the houses as habitations, The disinterestedness, and humane and pa- Sriotic fecling thus expressed by President Phillips will doubtless be commented vy every stockholder in his impoverished company, which, he parenthetically hints, would not be benefited by the tntroduction of any “new fangled ideas.” After this earnest appeal to the sympathies of the Commission comes a threat, for although, as he says, Jess than six per cont had been actually saved, if an elevated railroad were erected over Third avenue the directors of the horse railroad would not be slow tmpeti- oning the Legislatare to allow them to use more than horse power. The president is evidently going by Steam, and the announcement will doubtless be gratify- ing to numerous belated office-seekers to know that Should this combative idea of Mr. Phillips be carried ont there will be room for a baker’s dozen of accommodating @oroners. The eum and substance of the whole matter may be fairly set forth, and it is that while Mr. Phillips Ihas no objection to rapid transit in Africa or Herzego- vina, he objects to have the fair dealing denizens of Chatham streot disturbed, or indeed of any part of the city through which the track of the Third Avenue Com- ar hy laid, Abd, taking into acconnt the imploring address of Mr. Phitlips to the Commission to be et ane on the score ‘of mendicancy, it is really singular that Third Avenue Railroad stock cannot be purchased in the market, even Sbexorbitant ratea True, it is offered in a gingerly way at times, by some fat stockholder about to give up Dusiness, but no sooner does it see the vroad daylight than it is pounced spon by the wary with a shout of triumph.

In this age of progress, to say nothing of the earnest appeals of the suffering people of the city, the interests of private companies must be al- together ignored in view of the urgent necessities which are presented on the question of rapid transit. J A HeRALD representative called on President Phillips yesterday afternoon and found him a very gonial and facetious gentleman. Strangely enough he had nothing to say upon any point touching the matter involved. oy ear sir,” said Mr, Phillips, with all the grace of a Chesterfield and a facetious sinile laying about the corners of his mout partly «n same “I have nothing to add to the few remarks I made before the Commission the other day.” Do you intend.to use steam power on the Third ave- oneal i have o obit “ to th inject—post- " ave no say on the su tively bathing.” ‘And.

To rae Eprror ov Tux HeRaLp:— As the Heraup of to-day says, Mr. 8. L. Phillips, President of the Third Avenue Railroad, is indeed a very funny man. His speech before the Rapid Transit Com- missfoners yesterday is a masterpiece of humor. A careful reading of his address, however, will show that Mr. Phillips has another quality which, though it may not be as conspicuous as his humor, is worth noticing. This quality is vulgarly called ‘‘cheek,” sometimes “brass,” sometimes “assurance.” Mr. Phillips did not smile when he told the Commission that the ‘citizens of New York”? had $4,000,000 invested in the Third Ave- nue Railroad, There is nothing to show that the Com. mission did not swallow this statement; the report of Mr. Phillips’ address does not say that they questioned it Let a few statistics, chiefly from the State En- gineer’s report, be applied to this statement, it will then be seen to be a misrepresentation. ‘The actual cost of the Third Avenue Railway, according to their own return, is as follows:— + $992,166 + 744,750 - $1,737,016 $1,170,000 1,916,000 Total capitalization........... seeeeeeenes «+ $83,086,000 The total interest, at seven per cent, on their own state- ment of the actual cost of the road is $121,591. Their net earnings are, in round numbers, about $215,000 per an- num; the difference between this amount and the tnter- est on total cost is about $94,000. This shows the amount that is squeezed yearly out of the ‘citizens of New York’? to pay interest on the watered stock and bonds, ‘The amount of stock and bonds, &s above stated, up to 1871 was $3,086,000; during the succeeding year’ about $830,000 more r was injected, thus bringing the total capital up to about $3,916,000, or within a trifle of the $4,000,000 which Mr. Phillips says was “invested by the citizens of New York.” The reason of this financial jugglery is obvious. In 1871 the road carried 25,800,000 passengers, and was earning so largely on its original cost (and nearly $2,000,000 of water besides) that the stock was selling at 200 percent, This 200 seemed to be an ugly figure to parade before the people, go it was reduced to 130 in 1872 by pouring in water to the tune of about $830,000, With these figures before the public they need not wonder at the sensitiveness shown by this corporation at the slightest prospect of the construction of a rapid transit road which will take away any of their business. ‘With nearly three-quarters of their entire capitalization, consisting of stock and bonds which represent po expenditure whatever, exempt paper and printers’ in! they cannot stand any diminution of receipts; they wil fight hard to prevent it Does the average citizen doubt that they witl succeed? Is it to be expected that the Rapid Transit Commissioners, in the face of the blan- dishments and threats of the Third Avenue Horse Rail- way Company, will have the backbone to locate a rapid transit road in the Third avenue, ee morte all other laces, it will be of the greatest public benefit Z A CITIZEN. HOUSE AFFAIRS. CUSTOM BALE OF SMUGGLED GOODS AT AUCTION—LADIES’ YINERY AND MEN'S DRINKS AND CIGARS SOLD TOGETHER. Yesterday, by order of General Arthur, Collector of the Port, Mr. John H. Draper, auctioneer, sold at pub- lic sale @ large and valuable lot of goods which had been seized, from time to time, for VIOLATIONS OF THE REVENUE LAWS. At ten o’elock a Jarge and animated group of persons were assembied, who seemed to be intent on buying some of the contraband goods. The catalogue con- sisted entirely of seizures, and nothing was guaramteed as to quality.. Goods were sold with all their faults, and deposits were called at the option of the auctioneer. Sample boxes of cigars were billed as full ones, and some of the choice brands evoked quite a lively contest among the initiated bidders, First on the catalogue were some choice Havanas, and these sold at fair prices, The brands consisted of Upmann, La Ingenuidad, Flor del Fumar, Henry Clay Brevas, ka Russian cigarettes were offered and sold low. 7 MEERSCHAUM PIPES AND TURES and smokers’ articles of various kinds were next sold. Double and single barrelled guns soon after went off under the auctioneer’s hammer at prices which would have made their owners weep if they had happened wo mingle in the crowd. The dry and fancy goods seemed to excite the most emulation. There were alpacas and laces, buttons and silk handkerchiefs, kid gloves and velvet ruffles, garters and palm leaf fans, embroidered stockings and rubber balloons, artificial flowers and Cardigan jackets; all that olla ‘podrida, in tine, which one sees at auctions, and the accumulation of which from THE POUR QUARTERS OF THR GLOnE suggests many an unwritten history. Then there was some pretty jewelry, no doubt little souvenirs of love, brought, perhaps, from foreign lands for mothers and wives, only to be appropriated by Uncle Sam. Among | the bijouterte were shell necklaces and coral earrings, tortoise shell combs and silver chains, antique crosses, amber beads. Then came umbrellas and then liquors, wisely withheld to the last, lest ‘‘sanrpling” should be too freely indulged. There were cases of gin and kegs of rum, dozens of brandy, demijohns of sherry and gallons of wine, all bringing good pricca, Tho sale was said to have realized to the government about $10,000. NO MORE GENTEEL SMUGGLING. A UBIQUITOUS CUSTOM HOUSE—THE NEW REG- ULATIONS. [thas been a matter of notoriety, for some years, that the government bas been a large loser by the policy of politeness in vogue toward cabin passengers and finely dressed ladies returning from Europe. To-day new regulations go into effect onthe subject of Custom House scrutiny of passengers’ baggage. Or. ders were issued some time ago by the Treasury De- partment, in view of which a much larger complement of officers, will be required for the new method of examination, A separate squad of officers will have to attend personally at each steamer, of which from three to six sometimes touch the port almost simultancously. Each squad will be composed of a deputy surveyor, an entry clerk from the Collector's office, an entry clerk from the Naval Office, aud an appraiser from the Appraiser’s office, who, together with inspectors from the Surveyor’s office, wil attend personally to the inspection of baggage on every steamer, This really makes each equad a miniature custom house, which saves the passenger the delay and expense of a formal entry, and is supposed to save the government from a large ainount of genteel robbery, BOARD OF STEAM NAVIGATION. ‘The Executive Committee of the National Board of Steam Navigation més yesterday at the Metropolitan Hotel, Thomas Sherlock presiding aud B. 8. Osborne acting as secretary. The following ndmed members of | the committee were present:—J. T. Whiting, of Detroit; | Thomas Clyde, of Philadelphia; George W. Copeland, of | New York; B. 7.

While the delegates remain in the city | they will utilize the visit by making inspections of Seamers in the harbor. THE COTTON EXCHANGE. Yesterday the above named trade organization re ceived & circular from {ts Augusta (Ga) department, rum the following iDiormatian and statistics 1p anewar to questions fram the home Exchange:—‘‘The weather has been generally dry and hot from July 16 to August Since that time we have had too much rain. In thirty- one counties of the State the cotton is fruiting well, in Vhirty-six counties not well, and nearly all complain of shedding badly, In twelve counties the condition of the crop is betier than last year, m twenty-four coun- ties it ual to last year, in thirty-one not so good and ina few not half so good, Picking has not commenced except in a few localities, but will become general from 10th to 15th of September, Nearly all late Cotton retains its squares and bolls.” THE PRODUCE EXCHANGE. It will be remembered that a short time since it was re- ported that the owners of the Buffalo elevators had raised their rates for ‘‘raising” grain, At that time the Canal tolls were reduced, it being understood that the Buffalo people would also reduce their rates, Finding this de- sirable consummation would not be attained, State Treasurer Raines threatened to raise the tolls on the canals, From what could be learned at the Produce Exchange yesterday of the matter, it seems that “eleva tion” lately has been raised from one-eighth of one cent per bushel to one cent per bushel But this much is due in explanation, that before the ridiculously low prices for “elevation” were prevailing, the usual charges had been from one cent to one and cents per bushel It follows, then, that what seems to be a great advance ia, in ity, a reduction from the old rates. Nothing more has been done by the State since the warning from Mr. Treasurer Raines, POLICE DEPARTMENT. ESTIMATES FOR THE YEAR—MEETING OF THE COMMISSIONERS. The fall Board of Police Commissioners met yester- day, President Matsell in the chair. A resolution was adopted leasing apartments in the premises No. 229 Kast Fifty-ninth street for the use of the captain and sergeants of the Nineteenth precinct, the station house of that pr@inct not being sufliciently commodious. Commissioner Voorhis, from the Committee on Fi- nance, presented the following estimates for the depart- ment for the ensuing fiscal year.

Rug- gles, and Edward Gale Attorney for the Collection of Arrears of Personal Taxes. Mr. Boyd is a member of the law firm of Steele & Boyd, and is Chaifman of the Tammany Hall Committee on Discipline, which has made itself so famous ever since the Morrissey troubles, Mr. Gale is one of the secretaries of the Tammany Hall Committee on Organization, He has been Chief Clerk for three years in the office for the Collection of Arrears of Personal Taxes, under Morris 8. Miller, who was ap- pointed by Mr. Green, and also under John H. White, who succeeded Miller, and under Alexander W. Harvey, who died while in office. It was generally believed that John R. Fellows was to be appointed Corporation Attori ney, but he informed the Corporation Counsel yester- day'that he would decline the place if it was offered to him. The Corporation Attorneyship and the place to which Mr. Cole has been appointed are worth $7,500 a year each. MUNICIPAL NOTES. James Wall, the janitor of the new County Court Honse, who was appointed to the position last January through the influence of Jolin Morrissey, in whose dis- trict he resides, was yesterday removed, and Michael Dougherty, a resident of Mornssey’s district, but who is not in sympathy with the falien chieftain, was ap- pointed tn his stead. The Assembly Committee on Crime meet to-day at one P. M. in the old meeting room of the Board of Aldermen. A NEGLECTED PARK. About four years ago the little park at the junction of East Broadway and Grand street had an iron fence put around it and other improvements were begun, A few trees were planted, but they were neglected and the most of them have died. There is no footwalk around the edge of the park. The ground 1s so uneven that water [frequently collects there and tn wet weather be- comes a nuisance, The outlay of a few hundred dollars would make the park both useful and ornamental, POOR CHILDREN’S FREE EXCURSION FUND.

Extradition of Tyson, the Alleged Barre Bank Robber. HABEAS CORPUS PROCEEDINGS. The Seventh Avenue Pav- ing Case. Joseph Kingsland, alias Joseph Tyson, alias George Fuller, was yesterday brought before Judge Loew, hold- ing Chambers of the Court of Common Pleas, on a writ of habeas corpus sued out by his counsel, Messrs. William F. Kintzing and John 0. Mott, The fucts lead- ing to his arrest were exclusively published in yesterday's Hxeratp, The prisoner was arrested on the 28th ult., upon a requisition by the Governor ot Vermont, it being charged that he was the leader of the gang which robbed the Barre Bank of $15,000 in unsigned bills on the night of the 9th of aay last. There was another claimant for the prisoner, Mr. Jackson, the Deputy Warden of Sing Sing Prison, who was also present, and alleges that the prisoner owes the State eight years’ service for robbing the Watertown Bank. A claim for five yeara’ service is likewise put in by Delaware. ‘It is said that = the prisoner has no fancy for the Green Mountain air, he not being troubled with hay fever, and be dislikes Delaware because flogging prisoners is still tolerated by the statutes of that State, Of the three he prefers Sing Sing, because, possibly, the facilities for escape are so good there, Assistant District Attorney Lyons produced a warrant of extradition signed by Governor Tilden. Mr. Kintzing interposed to this a traverse to the effect that the prisoner was not the person named in the warrant. of extradition and was not the party accused of the crime on which the warrant was based. Upon filing his traverse an adjourn- ment was granted until to-day to enable counsel to pre- sent testimony in its support, PAVING OF SEVENTH AVENUE. Edgar Williams, a Seventh avenue property owner, brought suit against the city on behalf of himself and other property owners, and obtained a temporary in- junction restraining the Board of Correction and Re- vision from approving two assessments on thoir prop- erty for grading and paving the avenue. The mat- ter came yesterday before Judge Brady, in Supreme Court, Chambers, on an application to continue the in- Junction, William Barnes appearing as counsel for the be fs and Allison H. Shaw for the property owners. ‘he case for the plaintiffs is that the Commissioners of Central Park gave contracts for the work to Thomas Crimmins and J. H. Sullivan, though they had no power to do such work, unless after thirty days’ notice to the hea) and the Common Council still neglecting ‘to do it; that the assessment should not be entirely on the property benefited; that the contracts were not awarded on sealed bids to the lowest bidder; that the resolution authorizing the contracts was not passed in conformity with the statute, and that the assessment is in violation of chapter 297 of the Laws of 1872 and includes improper items—the expenses of maintaining the Commissioners of Parks and of the Department of Public Works, The answer denies all the averments of fact as to illegality in the contracts, and affidavits were produced that the contracts were given on valid bids to the lowest bidder. It was also argued that if there were tend irregularities in the contracts they were caused by the remedial acts of 1872 and 1873, Judge Brady took the paj ers, reserving his decision.

SUMMARY OF LAW OASES, And the cry is still they come, Three additional at- tachments were issued yesterday from Supreme Court, Chambers, against property in this State belonging to the Bank of California The first was granted on a suit for $15,000, the amount of a bill of exchange drawn by the bank on the Oriental Bank of London, in favor of James G. Harper and James H. Goodby, and protested for non-payment, The second attachment was an ap- plication of Samuel J. Gower to cover $9,580 deposits in the bank, and the, third an application on behalf of Emma M. Thibault, who claims to be a depositor to the amount of $8, Terese Clifton, the young girl who, several months ago, was committed to the Sheltering Arms on the ter- mination of an examination as to her alleged abduction by ex-Police Commissioner Gardner and Captain Wil- liams from the house of Annie Small, was yesterday brought before Judge Brady, in Supreme Court, Cham- bers, on a writ of habeas corpus, obtained by Mr. John D. Townsend, her counsel, the object being to secure her restoration to her father, who claimed to have been ignorant of the character of the house kept by Mrs. Small. Judge Brady intimated that it would take pretty strong evidence to convict him of such fact, but allowed the case to go over till to-morrow to put in affl- davits and testimony. John Lonergan, who was charged recently with hay- ing committed arson at No, 54 Charl@® street, where he was a bartender, was yesterday brought before Judge Brady, in Supretne Court, Chambers, on a writ of habeas corpus, procured by his counsel, Mr. William F. Howe. An affidavit by the prisoner sets forth bis entire inno- cence of the charge. He alleges that at the time he was sleeping with his family over the store, and that he barely escaped with his life, carrying a child in his | arms and helping down his wife, who carried another child, Decision was reserved. Annie Johnson, a colored woman, was also yesterday broughv before Judge Brady on a writ of habeas corpus serycd out by Mr. Howe. She was recently sent to the Penitentiary for keeping a disorderly house, and her counsel applied for her discharge on the yand that the complaint omitted to state the time en the al- leged disorderly acts were committed, and that, there- for, her conviction and sentence were void’ Judge Brady took the papers. James Coddington, the Wall street broker charged with having, in connection with the defaaltin; Treasurer of Jersey City, stolen @ large amount o! | bonds, the property of the city, was brought before Judge Brady yesterday, and, on application of his counsel, was admitted to bail in $1,000, The bail was promptly furnished and the prisoner’ discharged.

The firm claimed at the times given above to do @ general importing business in thiscity. Since then the firm have disappeared, and their uncancelled bonds in the custody of the Custom Honse officials represented unpaid duties to the amount of about $25,000, for which the bondsmen are now sued.

LETTERS OF CREDIT—DEFINITION OF THE WORD “CATTLE.” Wasmsoron, August 31, 1875. ‘The First National Bank of Decatur, IL, Plaintiff in Error, vs. the Home Savings Bank of St. Louis, Mo.— In Error to the Circuit Court for the Southern District of Lilinois.—Justice Davis delivered the opinion of the Court, The basis of the suit is a letter of credit of the 18th of September, 1859, addressed by the cashier of the plaintiff in error to the cashier of the defendant in error, in the following terms:—‘'We beg to accredit with you P. EB. Frederick, Esq., whose drafts on ship- ments of cattle to J. T. Talmage & Co.,!Chicago, are herewith guaranteed to the amount of $10,000 for thirty days from date.” ‘The plaintiff in error ad- mits the execution of the drafts and the payment of the money, but insists there is no right of action against it, beccauso the drafts were drawn on shipments of “hogs” instead of “cattle” The point made is, that it only consented ,to be bound if cattle were shipped, and this not being done, no Hability at taches to it This defence, technical though {t be, is suMicient to defeat the action. If the condition of the ty Was not observed, and this renders necessary aconstruction of the instrument Like all other con- tracts, it must receive the construction which is most probable and nataral under the circumstances, so as to attain the object which the parties to it had in con- templation in making it—bnying and shipping stock in St. Louis during the fall and winter of 1869—and the Preminuney is, in the absence of any evidence on the point, that he resided in Decatur, where the plaintiff in error bad his place of business; at any rate, was un- known in St, Louis, without either money or credi and, as he could not carry on his business withoal money, it was necessary that he shoald be accredited to some responsible banking house in thatcity. This was done through the letter of credit of the 18th of Septem- ber. The bank to which the letter just quoted was addressed doubtless thought its correspondent trusted in some degree to the pecuntary responsibility of Frederick, but it had no right to suppose that the letter of credit was given solely on this account; on the contrary, the letter is based on the idea that shipments of stock would protect the drafts, The bank now gecks th escape Htabitity, not that stock sufficicht fo secure the draft was not shipped, but that it was a different sort of stock named in its letter. It ts fair to presume that an Investment in hogs yielded ag good @ retnrn as an investment in cattle, and if the con- signee in Chicago had not failed, that no trouble would have arisen. As this consignee, named by by and with whom the St. Louis bank had no concern, did fail, it seeks to throw the loss on the St Louis bank because {it interpreted the letter to embrace shipments of hogs as well ag neat cattle, The question then arises, Was thts interpretation cor- rect? That stock of some kind formed part of the guaranty is quite plain, but is the word “cattle” in this connection to be confined to neat cattle alone—that is, cattle of the bovine genus? It is often go applied, but it 18 ‘alse a collective name for domestic quadrupeds gencrally, including not only the bovine tribe, but orses, asses, mules, sheep, goats and swine."'—(Wor- cester’s Dictionary—Cattle.) Did the plaintiff in error use the word in its narrow and restricted meaning or in its more enlarged and general sense? In other wo did it mtend to restrict Fredertck to the dealing in horned animals alone, and so confine the defendant in error to drafis based on this kind of stock? There was no apparent motive for doin; 80. , Becurity was the object to be attained, res this was better attained by leaving Frederick’ un- restricted in the choice of animals to send forward to market Provided they were of the kind generally used for fo Itis well Known that the market varies at the culate cattle yards, At certain times hogs find a readier and bring better prices than other kinds of Stock, and at other times horned animals alone com- mand the attention of buyers. Every ee dealer in stock informs himself of the state of the market before purchasing, and the means of doing this are greatly multiplied of late years. For these reasons the judg- ment is affirmed. CAPTAIN ULMAN’S TRIAL The cabe of Captain Ulman, of the Tenth precinct, was again called up before Commissioner Matsell yesterday morning. Officer James 8. Dyer, of the Twenty-seventh pre- cinct, took the stand and testified:—Did special duty in the Tenth precinct under Captain Ulman; was trans- ferred to the Twenty-seventh precinct two months’ ago; reported to Captain Ulman that gambling was bei! carried on at Ro. 105 Bowery last April; whe Capea then had the game broken up; from that time until Juno 80, the date of the second raid, no gambling was carried on there to my knowledge; remember visiting there three days before the June raid and no gambling was going on then. ‘The case was then referred to the Board for decision, MEETING OF THE POLICE JUSTICES. The Board of Police Justices held a meeting yester- day afternoon, at which all the members wero present After the ordinary routine business was disposed of Justice Kasmire gave notice that at the next meeting of the Board he will offer a resolution asking for the ap- peers of four stenographers to officiate at the First, econd, Third and Fourth District Police Courts. Judge Kilbreth offered a resolution asking that the Police Commissioners detail Officer Sfarbori, of the Fourth precinct, or some other Italian, for duty at the Tombs Police Court, owing to the number of persons speaking only Italian daily arraigned in court The resolution was passed, Justices Otterbourg, Wandell,. Duffy, Bixby and Wheeler were appointed a committee to locate the vari- ous judges at the several courts throughout the city, and to report the length of time the next rotation wi give cach judge at one court; also the name of the court or district to which each judge will bo first as- signed. The question of appointing a new clerk at the Tombs Police Court was laid over until next meeting. FORECLOSURE EXPENSES.
