10 A SHABBY SWINDL How Some Three-Card Monte Men Got Up a Spiritualistic Seance, The Mediums Disappear with the Money. “GONE TO, MEET KING PHILIP.” The genius of bumbug was well illustrated last even- tng at Tammany Hall, where an immense and decidedly the most respectable audience ever seen within that building assembled to witness the shab- piest swindle in the mame of spiritualism that was ever perpetrated. The contrivance and management of the affair wero simple enongh. It was announced with a grand flourish that a mavel- ious exhibition of spirit power would be given In the bright open gaslight, and that a certain medium named Willis would act under the influence of King Phillip; that spirtt faces and forms would be plainly seen and recognized; that a piano would rise from the stage and float in mid-air; that a common pine table would oscillate and float about, imitating a ship at sea; that a guitar would play and pass around the room “by the invisible power,” and other things too numerous to re- call itis needless to say none of these things was done, not even was the ordinary rope trick of the Davenport Brothers cleanly executed, and that was the sum and substance of ali that was performed under “the influence” of King Phillip’s immortal shade. Yet, in the face of this transparent humbug, a finer andience has very rarely come together tn a public ballon Sabbath evening, Nearly half yas composed of fashion- ably dressed ladies, many of whom were recognized as «enizens of Fifth and Madison avenues, The swindle iginated with a few three card monte men and “gift ‘ukirs,” as they are called, who go about the country nolding shows, and promising $1,000 packages to ticket parchasers, who find themselves in the end compelled wcontent themselves with a paper of tobacco or a package of darning needles, They tried the spirit game Awe months ago in Boston with eminent success. THE CRUSHING CROWD. {t was very long before the hour set down for the ex- hibition to, take place that applicants for admission crowded the eteps of Tammany Hall A crowd extend- ing over the sidewalk and into the street was present even before the hour of seven o'clock. Women of very respectable appearance were in the throng and far more eager than the men to get inside the building, “Some time before the performance began the centre of the floor, covered with innumerable chairs, was densely packed with people. Between the front row and the platform an empty space of about fifteen fect extended. Suddenly it entered the heads of those in he foremost files of chairs that, as they had paid a $1 ahead, while the folks not far behind them only ex- pended itty cents, that they were entitled to eucroach a trifle on the unocenpied territory in front of them. As if by preconcerted signal every man and woman stood up, grasped a chair and moved about three paces forward. ‘The people behind were in duty bound do likewise, and a scene of confusion tollowed that gave great joy tothe profane multitude in the gallery, who stamped, cheered, whistled, and wade a variety of indescribable noises. KING PHILLIP'S CABINET, In the middie of the platform and run into the re- cess of a doorway, which was leit unbolied as a means of escape, stood a square, rickety cabinet, cov- ered with black muslin, It was about six feet high and three feet wide. It was closed at the top, but en- tirely open in front. The only furniture 1 contained ‘was u cane-bottomed chair. To the leit of the platform stood a small table, supporting a guitar, aset of fevers commonly used by Spiritualistic snowmen, a wire Lel- met and @ set of handcuffs. THE HKAD SPIRIT OF THE SWINDLE. Elegantly dressed young men in swailow-tails and white Lies stood at the head of the stairs and took the tickets. Professor Allyne stood inside the door, laugh- ing bimself sick at the success of the swindle. “‘All the tools aint dead yet,” he observed; “this is a great racket,” Later on, about hali-past nine o'clock, when he had retired from the stage by a back door, his pockets full to bursting with partof the proceeds, he said in auswer to the quesion, “Is the performance over?” “Yes, I guess it is, as faras Tam concerned. Wasn't trich? but I did beter in Boston—scooped in $1,980, but had barely time to get away, and leit the d—d medium tied in the,cabinet. I believe they half killed him. Poor devil, be never got @ cent,” and bere Allyne laughed again wll the tears ran out of his eyes. Presently he grew serious, and exclaimed, “By King Philup, I left my wife bebind and the row comes on pretty soon;”” but again he resumed his hilarious mood, and with a twinkle of the eye cried, ““] guess, however, she knows how to take care of her- eel{,”’ und Allyne departed lewurely up the street to Union square to take a supper of oysters, while close behind him followed the cashier with a light overcuat thrown over the cash box THE PROCKEDINGS ‘were opened by Professor Allyne, head of the precious gang, introducing a sickly-looking youth named Wil- lig, who seemed badly in ueed of a new suit of clothes and a comfortable dinner. “Now,” said Allyne, “you see before you the most wonderful spiritualistic me- dium in the world. He is in contact ail the time with the spirits of just men made periect. He'll show you more of the other world in ten minutes than any other ten men in ten years. Wait # dit now, ladies and gentlemen, and you'll have more fun than your money calls tor, Old King Phily will be on the stage in the crack of a whip, and bough you may not be able to see him on account of his being juside the box, with the curtain drawn, you'll hear of him if you have patience,” The sickly youth then took his seat in the cabinet, the curtain was drawn across and Allyne proceded to discourse on Spiritualistn, premising ‘that if Lhe audience were dissatisied with the perform. ance they might get their money buck (said money being then non est), but not uniess they et perfect stillness, #o as not to disturb King Philip, who could not oper- ate except in silence. The speaker soon contrived to raiwe ab uproar what effectually squelched the chances of bearing trom His Majesty. The humbug dawned ou many minds at the start, and ali sorts of remurks came from the gallery A COMMITTER OF ON. Allyne demanded a committee of one, and poor old Dr. Mille b ardent Spiritualist, went on the stage and Said things were all right, that the medium was tast- eued properly, though the old man was sbrewd enough to remark that uniess he was allowed to adda little Tope of his own he wouldn't believe the thing was done by the spirits. Allyne kept upa vigorous stream of talk, 60 a8 to let the ‘time spin around until the money ‘Was all collected and then sltpout by the back door, 4 TRICKS, Still, however, Wills the medium did accomplish a few tricks of the very commonest order, such as tying himself and while tied ringing a bell, taking off and putting on his coat, having a pair of handcuils several sizes too large placed on his wrists aud sipping out of them to take off his coat, and then, when the curtain was drawn, appearing with the hand cuffs on again. There ‘were cries from the gal- Jery of “Put the old Doctor in with him,” “Look bebind the door;” “What kind of a skin game is that?” ‘frot out King Philip;” “Give His Majest ashow.” Aillyne, a little pudgy, pleasant faced feliow, who conld hardly restrain himself from laughing every moment at the success of the affair, tuked on, walking up and down the stage in @ swallow tail coat and a rose at his battonhole. ‘Now, ladies and gentlemen, observe silence and reverence, for something tells me King Philp 1 coming.”’ Then turning to the cabi- net ‘Would the medium please throw the bell out on the stage when His Majesty comes?” Out comes the He has come, ladies and gentlemen; silence.” Lev’s see him,” shouts @ voice {from the gallery; “Guess he’s a snyde,” cries another; **Can he stand the drinks?” exclaims a third, and so on, with a varie ety of such irreverent observations, The Professor bag his back to the audience and is laughing beertily, He turns, however, promptly, and ity declares that an exhibition of King circumstances was impossible, The Filewess of the peuple im the gallery would offend His M wo wuch.

Tho Panama Star and Herald, of September 21 says:— “Rear Admiral J. R M. Mullany, United States Navy, commanding the North Atlantic squaaron, and now in Aspinwall in his flag ship, the Worcester, came over to this city yesterday morning on a special train to call offictally on the President of the State, In company with other officers who accompanied him, he-calied at the government house, and, in the absence, of Presdént Miro, was received by Doctor Pablo Arosemena, President elect, After the usual congratulations Admiral Mullany stated that he had been instructed by his government to repair to Aspin- wall, visit Panama and call on the Executive Power of the State for the purpose of acquainting the authorities there with the views and sentiments of the United States government with respect to the situation of affairs in Colombia and its bearing on the interests of American citizens on the Isthmus. ‘The United States, the Admiral said, has no wish to interfere with either the general affairs of Colombia or the local politics of the Isthmus, but the great and valoable amount of property existing in this part of Colombia and the vast interests depending on its protection and preservation rendered it impossible for the United States to remain indifferent to any condition of affairs in Colombia or on the Isthinus which threatened to imperil Ameri- can interest While this was not the case the Admiral gave the assurance that his government would abstain from any other attitude but that of watching the course of eventa, and holding itself in readiness to act in case circumstances demanded it, Butshould itoccur that the transit could not find protection, either from the general government or the State, when needed, the government at Washington, however reluctantly, would take a dtrect action in the matter on its own responsibility. In order that there should be no mis- understanding, in the absence of the President, the Admiral presented the views he had expressed in writing, requesting a reply as eurly as convenient froin his Excellency, President Mirc, Dr. Pablo Arosemena explained to the Admiral what he understood to be the present state of affairs on the Isthmus and in the Republic im general. There was now every prospect, he thought, of a solid peace between the federal and State governments. Official relations had been re-established between Panama and the government of the Union, in proof of which the usual national forces for the protection of the transit were expected by next steamer, and would be well received by the gov- ernment, There was never any danger to the safety of the transit, which the people and authorities always respected for the benefit it brings to the country. The Admiral expressed himscif glad to find matters on the Isthmus and in the Republic more favorable than he expected, and hoped that there would be still greater improvements in all things concerning the progress and welfare of the country. PUBLIC SCHOOL SCANDALS. HOW THE PUBLIC MONEY WAS SPENT BY JERSEY CITY BOARD OF EDUCATION. The investigation of the alleged frauds in the Board of Education at Jersey City was resumed on Saturday evening before the special committee, Messrs. Mercien and Sanborn. There was a large attendance of promi- nent citizens. Mr. Hollins was cross-examined by Di- rector McGrath for more than an hour, when the chair- man and several gentlemen objected to the examina- tion as being tedious and irrelevant, Mr. Holling stated that the appropriation was overdrawa during the months of January, February, March, April, May aud June. He rejected entirely the re- port of the Finance Committee, of which he was a member, on the ground that it did not present correctly the expenditures for the year, and was intended to mislead the public, Several bills, amounting to thousands of dollars, was omitted from the financial statement, and for this reason Mr. Hollins refused to sign the report. He showed that a resolu- tion was offered in the Board asking for an additioual appropriation of $80,000 to carry on the schools, Mr, Lyon, President of the Board, moved to increase the sum to $51,000, aud every member of the Board except Mr. Hollins voted for this resolution. He also pointed out that the Committee on Teachers and Salaries had overdrawn their appropriations by the sum of $9,500, and this sum, according to the statement of the Comp- troller, was taken from other accounts. The Comptroller | notified the Board that the salary account was over- drawn, yet the Board proceeded in its career of ex- travagance. The Committee on Heating and Ventilation had overdrawn their account by $6,000. Mr. Hoilins was then cross-examined by the President | of the Board, Mr. Lyon, until the latter was in- terrupted by Congressman Hardenbergh, who asked him if he considered jt the duty of the Board to divert the appropriation for any year to the liquida- tion of the extravagant expenditures of previous boards. To this question no satisfactory answer was given. Director Pangborn sustained the evasion by remarking, “If we keep to tho Appropria- tion we will have to close the schools.’” Many of the citizens who were present then arose and left in dis- gust. Mr. Hollins stated that the bills paid for sta- Uonery to a certain New York firm were exorbitant to the extent of thirty-one per cent, and he so reported to the Board, but whenever be tried to effect reform he was “unmercitully snubbed.” The disclosures on the cross-exainivaiiou were more damaging than the direct charges. Mr. Hollins was cross-examined by Mr. Pangborn, who remarked that the Committee on Text Books, of which he was a member, purebased supplies more cheaply by ten per cent than the New York Board of Education. Mr. Boordem eharply replied, “Are you g to rival the corrupt ring in New York’ in extrava- ce?” The examination was adjourned till Wednes- THE THE PUTRID CORPSE OF A WOMAN FOUND HANG- ING IN HER BEDROOM—Is IT A SUICIDE OR A MURDER? ‘Two or three weeks ago a woman, apparently about thirty years of age, moved into apartments on the third | floor of 291 Elizabeth street. Those who already lived | in the house knew nothing of the woman, neither who she was, nor where she came from. She had consider. able furniture, some of it being much better than is | usually found in tenement houses, She came and went withoat attracting any one’s attention, so that her dis- Appearance since last Monday or Tuesday was thought nothing of Day before yesterday William Herbert, who lives with his family on the fourth floor, complained of a bad Smell in the hallway on the third floor, but, supposing it arose from the body of a dead rat, thought but littl of it. Yesterday, however, the stench became almost un- bearable, and on placing his nose to the keyhole Mr. Herbert at once discovered that the smell originated in | the room occupied by the unknown woman. He was now fully convinced that a dead rat could not emit so strong an odor as now pervaded the whole house. Not liking the aspect of affairs, he went to the Fourteenth Precinet station and reported the circumstance to the Captain. — Sergeant McClintock was detatied to proceed wo the premises and investigate into the affair. | be forgotten there,” On reaching the apartment the officer burst the door open, when the stench inside was found to be simply horrible, making every one who ventured in sick at the stomach and causingseveral to vemit.

The Boy King of Spain and the Princess Mer- cedes de Montpensier, {From the London Times, Sept, 20, 1875.) Vicny, Sept 14, 1875, I was not surprised when a diplomatist Nkely to be well informed told me two days before I started, “You are goingto Vichy? Youare going to be present at the great Spanish conspiracy which has fixed ita ren- dezvous there.” This prospect, I confess, charmed me. Tranquilly and without fatigue to observe from the balcony of the Hotel du Pare the growing fabric of a Spanish conspiracy was to be certain of time not hang- ing heavy, and of witnessing the origin of one of those events which later on compose a fresh page of contem- porary history. Bverything, indeed, seemed to justify the prediction, When I reached Vichy Queen Isabella bad just taken leave of the Duc de Montpensier, whom she had visited at Randan, the Duke's estate, only a few kilometres from the town. Pedple were still re- lating the smallest incidents of that visit, They spoke of grand dinner given to the Qyecn, and at which Geno- ral Moriones was present It was said that at the end of the dinner the Queen had an interview with the Gene- ral, lasting forty-two minutes; that she came away in a #tate of extreme agitation; that ehe had come from Paris expressly to see the Duke, and that they had passed hours in conversations from which nothing could distract them, It was also said that Topete, Martos, Usquierda and Figuerola were at Vichy; that Sagasta had come there with a false beard; that Pastor and Espana, the conildants of Moriones and Topete, were also there; and that the Spanish Cabmot, naturally uneasy, had sent five or six of ite most adroit detectives 80 a8 not to lose sight for an instant of this formidable nucleus collected round the Duc de Montpenster, which threatened afresh the security of Spain. I was seriously assured that the Queen, aloug with the Duke, was at the head of the conspirators; that she could not console herself for not being in Spain and for no longer oceupy- ing the throne; and that since her sdn’s accession she could not forgive those who had advised her to abdicate, being convinced that if she had not followed their coun- sel itwas she whom Spain would have recalled to escape from Serrano’s dangerous tueompetency. All this aud @ thousand other things were said. THE SPANIARDS AT VICHY listened with gravity to all these rumors, like people | who know that conspiracies must not be laughed at when Spain is in question; and in the afternoon, at the Source des Celestins, where Moriones and Topete some- times repaired, men were to be seen with an apparently unconcerned air, who listened intently to catch the words exchanged in the Spanish groups, My first idea, I confess, was to meet Moriones, who it was said was the prime mover of this mysterious enter- prise, the precise character of which nobody could ex- plain tome accordingly met Moriones and Espaua gravely taking their glass of medicinal water, Moriones at the moment I encountered bit certainly had not the air ofaconspirator. Like all the Spaniards who come to Vichy, he had donned a broad-brimmed straw hut. His sympathetic countenance, his keen eye, his clear complexion, bis fine mustache, his ‘smiling lips, and his costume, half that of a countryman aud half that of aman of the world, give him the tranquil aspect of a polished agriculturist whose brow had never been furrowed by political anxicties, From the very first. words of our conversation, however, 1 was strangely perplexed. I had opened it with the precau- tions natural to a mun approaching a delicate subject, but Moriones at once suid:—"Yes, I undersnind; you wish to know what | said to the Queen. [ can repeat it without hesitation, for, on my honor as a soldier, it is my sincere idea. 1 suld to the Queen, ‘I quite un- derstand Your Majesty's desire to return to Spain; and if Your Majesty goes u for the purposo—which I am confident would be the case—of showing the King | that his entire family rallies round him without | reserve, the Queen ‘will ind me beside her and | to serve her.’ But I declared to the Queen that even against ber 1 should not hesitate to lend my co-operation if she had interests which were not identical with the King’s, for] consider and proclaim that Don Alfonso is now the vast sheet anchor of Spain.” | Moriones repeated these words to me with quite a Cas- tilian emphasis, and with the accent of a man expres ing an idea of which he is ready to make himself the zealous champion, His reply, however, as may be sup- posed, could not'satisfy my reason or impose silence on mny curioeity. I had just read the foliowing lines in the Cuartel Real:— Allthe information we receive from Madrid and France, where important conferences have lately been held, com: posed of men occupying high positions ander the September | goverument, agrees in reporting a groat Montpensierist con- spiracy, Don Alfonso is consequently condemned to lose the crown. ‘There ure even sists who are soliciting our assistance in view of such an tunity. 1 thought that, a Montpensierist conspiracy being in question, I should best discover the threads of it at its very seat, Spite of ali that Caron has said and done the’human mind will always be drawn toward those mysterious proceedings styled conspiracies, and nowa- days it is only Spain which really knows how to con- spire, Austria, which formerly practised the art, has become liberal; Germany and ltaly have effected their unification; Russian conspirators only take into their confidence those who agree to be compromised with them; and in France officials who indulge in THR LUXURY OF UNRAVELLING A LOCAL CONSPIRACY are forced to employ a8 much invention as a man who composes a five-act comedy. The Spaniards only bave preseryed the art of really conspiring ip an ainusing jashion. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that I was bent on tracing the great Montpensierist conspiracy announced by the Cuartel Keal, and that I accordingly proceeded to Randan to pay my respects to the natural chiet of the conspirators—the Due de Montpensier. The first time I presented myself the Duke was absent. He had just set out for Dreux and Chantilly to take part in the opening of the shooting season. 1 found only the Duchess with several persons round her, She was busy on the castle terrace kuitting one of those rather coarse dark woollen articlés destined to serve for clothing or | bedquilt for poor children. Along time had elapsed since iny seeing her for the first time, but amid the inevitable traces left by time on her physiognomy she had preserved that mild and amiable ex- pression, and that melancholy smile familiar to everybody. ‘Those who observe her cannot help feeling | &@ sentiment difficult to define, an involuntary sadness, as it were, From time w time that look, at once ques: tioning and reserved, is fixed upon you with almost ab- sorbed persistency, and, portion as it persists, the melancholy whi 4 it deepens. This ex- pression changes on n she hears Spanish spoken around her, and when, after having listened a moment, she dashes into the conversation like a bather taking & “header.” One feels that she needs Spain, that there only can she breathe, and that she spends her life wish- ing’to pierce the horizon bounded by Randan. “All I ask,” guid she to me, ‘is that I may go to Sevilleand | As I was expressing my regret at not having met the Duke, she sad that he would be back by the following Saturday and that I might see him if T could come and lunch at Randan on that day, Moriones and Topete were to be among the guests, and beforehand I pictured inyself at A PARTY OF CONSPIRATORS. It was with real pleasure that on the day fixed I found that chance had given me Admiral Topete as @ travelling companion to Randan. The bathers at Vichy, where Topete’s presence excited great curivsity—know well that characteristic countenance. He, like Mo- riones, wears a straw hat, with a broad brim. He is of middie Leight and well get, Both his hair and beard are gray, straight, cut short, and they frame an ener- getic face, but without hardness or boldness. His com- plexion is slightly tanned and tull-colored by the sun, the sea breezes and the warm and passionate tempera- ment of his nation, The eyes, overshadowed by bushy brows, are brown, quick 4nd imperious; the cheek bones are clearly defined, the nose is en- larged toward the end by nostrils rising at the cor- ners and breathing passion, The mouth, hidden by the beard, is almost large and fuil of inborn energy, tempered only bya kindly smile. Topete hada sad | expression when | turned the conversation to ube days | “1 tried to do a great thing,” said but | did not succeed, Prim either did not understand me or counted on the success of Amadeus and the check ‘of Montpensier, Withoat bim Spain would have seen far fewer ora,” He then proceeded w tell of the days of September, his interviews with Prim and Ser- rano, and his anguish when an order irom the Queen dispersed the ships to the four corners of the earth | ral days before the one fixed for the pronuncia- | mento, He told me how Prim, for whom he had sent | a vexsel to the Canary Islands,’ arrived four days too | jate; how he had hoisted the revolutionary flag on | the Saragossa, with what foverish impatience he had waited w know what was being done at the Culiz Arseval, bow Prim arrived, then the battie of the Bridge of Alcala, the flight of the Queen, the Parliamentary struggies and the death of Prim. He was 4 out with Lim in the carriage ou the very day, of had pot his triend Pastor brought him a lever, which he began to read, and eft Prim to go wlone, . It may easily be imagined that Randan was too soon perceived by ine through the trees of the park. “In truth,” said Ito him, “nothing is more exciting than history toid by itself.’ But are you not at Randan abdut to write a new page’” ‘li truth,” replied the Admiral, “what Ihave not been uble to do may yet be realized, and there is certainly at Randan » Charming meuns for resioring, as far as possible, @ prolonged rest to Spain.” These words struck me, and I thought that it was pot without reason that the Freneh press has for some time been taiking of | & projected marriage between Kit 4 Princess Mercedes, one of the two daught de Mont- pensier. The few hours which | passed at Randan have confirmed me in this belief, and | may say so the more unreservedly since during ‘this visit [ ascertained how ridiculous aro the reports of conspiracy which ate apread about Span, and co which the Cuartel Real gives | his officers Queen Isabel have Serrano or Al foals = ore served or Ama- radicals, are not that they are accused of some design against Ki Alfonso. All are devoted to him. None dream ‘of cous spiring against him, though all separate their per- sonal causes from the present weak, haughty and jealous Cabinet which surrounds him The descrip- tion of his situation which Cs pry in columna— ‘a deseription which is faithful and lifelike—strikes and irritates them. Inthe young King they have seen a vivacious animated force destined to attract all fractions of the Moderate party in Spain; they haveseen thas this force must be made use of to attract to it all Spain, to put it under the protection of the nation and of ite liberal representatives, to allow it to grow tn the midst of the growing sympathy of the people. They are ex- asperated to-day at seeing that there is an attempt to make the King the idie and passive instrument of an ambitious and personal fraction which transforms this young, modern and intelligent Prince into an Oriental katrap destined to be consumed by solitude and to waste his youth in the midst of pleasures and ennui, which can neither profit him nor Spain. Here, as fur as 1 understand, is the great conspiracy, for no one bas made me his confidant, and therefore t fam at liberty to speak. It is evidently thought that A MARKIAGN BATWKEN THE KING AND THX PRINCESS MERCEDES would produce considerable effect in Spain, and re- unite, to the exclusion of the Carlist King, whom civil war and the blood which has been shed, cut off from the nation, in one and the same interest all members of the royal family, But naturally this alliance would not be supported by the present Cabinet, for it would free the King from the enervating guardianship of the Duke of Sesto, and it is in this silent struggle, in this inevit- able antagonism that the anticipated explanation of events which will happen in Spain must be sought NEW YORK CITY.

General Spaulding was born in Oneida county, N. ¥., in 1818, and commenced the practice of his profession on the Syracuse and Utica Railroad in 1839, In 1840 he was appointed resident engineer on the Erie Railway, and sabsequently principal assistant to Charles B, Stuart, Chiet Engineer of the division, His ability was quickly recognized, aud he rapidly rose in his profession. After having located various railroads in the United States, he was, in 1850, appointed Associate Chief engineer of the Great Western Railroad of Canada, He was subsequently chief engineer of other Canadian roads—the Erie and Ontario and the Coburg and Peterborough. Onthe breaking out of the war, ak though General Spaulding had intended to make his home in Canada, where he had large landed interests, he could not forget that he was an American. Imme: diately after the battle of Bull Run, he returned to bis native State and assisted nis old friend, General Charles B, Stuart, in organizing an Engineer regiment, the famous ‘Fifticth New York Volunteers. ’ This regiment was assigned to duty with the Army of the Potomac and took part with that army in all iis active operations from the day it entered the field until it was disbanded. In all these operations and in the several grades of major. lieutenant colone brevet colonel and brevet brigadier general Gener Spaulding and his engineers bore a prominent part. He was mentioned several times in general orders, with and omen, for their ‘“unwearied efforts?” he personally for “his promptness, gallantry | and efficiency, which merits and receives the highest commendation.” On the entry of the Army of the Po- | tomac into Richmond, by General Meade’s order, the Engineer brigade, General Benham in command, occu- pied the right of ‘the army, General Spaulding and his men the extreme right, the post of honor, At the close of the war General Spaulding resumed the prac- tice of his profession, was Chiet Engineer of the Utica and Chenango and Susquchanna Railroad, Engineer-in- Chief of the Costa Rica Ka:lroad and Chief Engineer of the Minnesota division of the Northern Pacitic Raijroad. In 1872 he was struck down with the disease which ended bis career, JOHN H. CONTOIT. Jobn H. Contoit, an old and well known citizen of New York, died at his residence, corner of Crosby and Prince streets, on Saturday, aged eighty-eight years. Mr. Contoit, in the latter part of his life, had become almost a recluse, and remained secluded at the family mansion in Crosby street, to which he was so devotedly attached that he refused to move to any more eligible portion of the city, jetting the surging wave of business rise and surroynd his house and isolate it as a dwelling Jace. His funeral takes place from ‘Irinity chapel on ‘uesday morning. MRS. DR. MORRIS H. HENRY. Mrs. Elizabeth R. Henry, the accomplished wife of Dr. Morris H. Henry, of this city, and veloved danghter | of Hugh J. Hastings, Esq., died suddenly on Saturday morning, at the summer residence of her father, near Long Branch. The funeral will take place to-morrow morning, trom No, 327 Fifth avenue, DR, WILLIAM’ BEGEMAN, Dr. William Hegeman, for many years identified with the retail drug trade, of this city, died suddenly yes- terday at his residence, No, 9 West Thirty-first street, Like many of New York’s successful business men he commenced his career in the lower portion of the city, and although with the increase of traffic he established several branches in various parts, of the city, he clung to the scenes of his early routines and as late as Saturday last was at his store in Broadway, below Fulton street, apparently in the full enjoyment of his usual health, He was only fifty-nine years of ‘age, and his sudden death will cause a deep feeling of regret in the large circle of friends and acquaintances which he had formed during his successful business career. DEATH OF AN UNKNOWN. Pur.apenpmma, Oct. 8, 1875. An unknown man, apparently about 60 years of age, died suddenly on a passenger train on the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad on Saturday morning. He had in his possession numerous papers indicating that he was largely interested in the Northern Pacitic Railroad, The namo of Ira Spaulding was engraved upon his watch, GOING TO SERVE THE STATE. Three sailors from the Navy Yard at Portsmouth, Va., arrived in this city last evening on their way to tho Albany Penitentiary in chargo of two officers and were locked up at the Central office, They have been con- victed of mutiny. DROWNED IN NEWARK BAY. A man, named Lonis Tichenor, went on a Gshing ex- pedition from Bayonne, N. J., on Saturday and did not return. His body was found floating in Newark Bay yesterday. FIRE ON STATEN ISLAND. Rarly yesterday morning fire destroyed a three story double frame house on Prospect street, Stapleton, | owned and occupied by Frederick Sanger and two other was val- nsurance families named Stenn and Thur, The buildin ued at $5,000 and insured in the Jefferson Company for $3,000. REMARKABLE ARTESIAN WELL. {From the Quincy (IIL) Herald.] Yesterday morning as Mr. A. Hammond, of Jackson- ville, was engaged in digging a well on the farm of Stephen Grooves, of Houston, he was astonished to suddenly see a stream of sand, gravel and water thrown high in the air, Tho well is four and one-half feet in diameter and twenty-eight feet deep. They then com- menced boring for water, but hardly had the drill been forced through more than four feet and been withdrawn before this sudden stream was seen coming through the hole and thrown at least thirty feet high ve the sur- fave of the ground, the water falling ina perfect shower. In two minutes afterward there was from two to four foot of water in the well; in ten minutes there was over five feet, and in less than forty-five minutes there was over eight feet of water in the well. And it continued to boll over the top, arising six to eight fect above the surface, This well has been sank on Jand where they were never able to find wi before, Those who have seen it pronounce it one of the greatest freaks they ever saw. Mr. Hammond has been sinking a number @ready echo, Evidently the disconcerted Spaniar the partisaus of tie Duc do Monwewier. those of wells in that part of the county, and never fails wo Sind water before asking for pay. 4, 1875.—TRIPLE SHEET.
