A CURIOUS AUCTION Sale of Property for Delin- quent Assessments. AN INTERESTING LIST. St. Patrick's Cathedral Grounds Under the Hammer. The sale of “lands and tenements” for unpaid assess- ments, under the direction of Comptroller Green, was renewed in the chamber of the Superior Court yester- day at noon, A. 8. Cady, Clerk of Arrears, acting as auctioneer. The attendance was quite numerous, but the principal speculative purchases were confined to about half a dozen individuals. Many single pieces of | the E: property were bid for by the owners with the object, it is to be inferred, of acquiring a better title than they hhad been holding, or to secure an extension of lease; otherwise they had simply to go to the Comptroller's Office, pay the assessments due and have their property relieved of encumbrance, ‘The sales of lands and tenements will go om for an- other week, until all are disposed of that aro now entered on the delinquent assessment lists, These lists embrace all kinds of lands and tenements, from a wretched lot among the Harlem flats, covered with an equally wretched shanty, to the proudest dwellings on Fifth ave- nue. Tho amounts range all the way from $1 10 to $5,000, and the dates of assessments from 1861 to 1871. ¥he Corporation is tho principal purchaser at these sales, buying the property in trust for the owners, The small sums that people neglect to pay for so many years make aremarkable feature of the lists. The as- sessments are levied chiefly for paving and flagging streets and sidewalks, Those in attendance at the sale were each provided with a book, containing the formid- able number of a hundred large printed pages of lands and tenements condemned for sale. As the auctioneer rattled over page after page they kept their eyes on the numbers and followed him sharply. The rivalry between bidders was only once or twice very close, The auctioneer started where he left off the first day, at number 100, and succeeded in reaching number S00 in about an hour's time, He has 3,000 pieces of prop- erty yet to dispose of and will probably take the whole of next week before he finishes his labors, In the meantime a large number of people are hurrying to the Comptroller's Office to pay their assessments and save further expenses, THE METHOD OF THE SALES. ‘The act under which these sales.are made legal de- elares that, in default of the payment of assessments Jevied and confirmed, the property shall be gold at auc- tion for the lowest term of years at which any person | shall offer to take the same in consideration ofadvancing the amount of the assessment due and unpaid and the Interest thereon to the time of sale, together with the charges for notice and advertisement and all other ac- erued costs and charges. To understand this properly a few words of explanation may be necessary. At these sales time is substituted for money. ‘The auctioneer’s clerk calls out the number of the piece of property—the numbers running seriatim in the present list of assess- ments from No. 1 to No.3,891—a person in the audience sries out, “a thousand years,” which is the lowest bid. If the property be good and the conditions surrounding it favorable to the chance of the purchaser finally becoming the owner the | -ompetition may be lively and proceed in this fashion :— "G00 years,” “700,” *500,” “100, 90, «50,7? «40,7 “30,” “20,” “10,7 These wert the precise bids when the auctioneer reached No. 891, a property on Eighty- first strect, betwee Eighth and Ninth’ avenues, en- tered in the name of Mrs. Mary 8, Connolly, wife ot the ex-Comptroller, and in debt to the city $303 since April ¥7, 1871. The purchaser holds the property for two yon the city in the meantime notifying the owner of its sale, At the expiration of that time the purchaser notifies the owner that if he fails to pay the expenses incurred within six months it will pass from his hands, as the city will then grant an absolute lease to the holder. The original owner has thus two years and # half in which to redeem his property. To do this he must pay, along with the costs incurred, fourteen per vent to the holder. As a matter of speculation it pays fo put money in these sales of condemned lands and tenements, seeing that it is impossible to lose and that the least resulting profit will be fourteen promt ‘A host of well known names figure on tho jsta, but it is safe to assume that at least two-thirds are names that have been allowed to stand on the records though the property may haye passed into other hands. DISTINGUISHED DIUINQUENTS. Such names as P. Lorillard, ©. E. Southmayd, Dur- se Son, William T. Blodgeit, F. B. Cutting, W. H. iyeman, L. Suydam, William B. Astor, D. Butterfield, 3. W. Beekman, W. H. Vanderbilt, R. ’B. Mintur, Wy H. Wickham, Foster Brothers and other well known’ people figure among the delinquents, without perhaps ing conscious of the fact that they owe the city a cent. The railroads are all Included and arg nintked down in different places. The New York ahd Hudson ilroad is down for over $5,000 for trap block paving | of varions streets in the neighborhood of the Grand | Central depot. Sewering appears to be the work | that calls for the heaviest assessment. Several cemeteries are marked down as debtors. Tho Jewish Cemetery, at Eighty-ninth street and Fourth avenue, will have to clear up a little bill for regulating and grading Eighty-ninth street of $29 83, or somebody Pantene it inona lease of 1,000 years. The Roman olic Cemetery on First avenue, near Twelfth street, fons the same risk, owmg to an unsettled account o! ft $80. The Corporation itself is in debt $456 for some sewering done at Seventy-fourth street and Fourth avenue, and has other sums recorded against it in Gifferent localities. Columbia College, Rutgers Insti- tute, Union Theological Seminary and various banks | and 'gas companies are among the recalcitrant tax- payers The word “unknown” occurs at frequent tervals through the lists. A vast deal of property appears to have no recognized owner, which is a strange fetlection, considering the value of real estate on Man- hattan Island. The regular and principal purchasers yoreras -—men who make a business of investing in ese sales—were Messra. Hoyt, Ogden, Frazer, Good- tich, Howenstein, Kumersly, Ely and Mahony. AN INTERESTING STUDY. The assessment lists are quite an interesting study. Here is the name of ex-Collector Thomas Murphy down in a couple of places for small sums of money due on assessments for trap block paying on Madison avenue, between Forty-second and Eighty-sixth streets. Tho Property is bought for a thousand years’ lease, and peo- ple wonder why so rich a man as Mr. Murphy allows property so valuable to be trifled with in this way, but there is an easy explanation at hand, Mr. Murphy might have sold the property to persons who allowed it to stand in his name, and the same may be inferred of roperty ascribed to William B. Astor and other heavy olders of real estate, One John Geen bas not paid the assessment on his property since March 18, 1861, It Jies between Fourth and Fifth avenues, on Kighty-sixth Street, and yet the amount down to him 1s only $6 42, | but at twelve per cent for over fourteen years, together with the attendant costs, John Green will find his ac. Sat not so small as it seems. A great deal f file property {6 charged with ridicutously trifling gums, and though advertised from year to year, the owners persist in withholding payment until they aro finally sold to some eee who insists oh having | fourteen per cent on the purchase money before yield- ing the property. Churches, schools, aaylums, charit- able societies are prominent delinquents in the assess- ment lists, They are not liable to taxes, and many of thom may have the impression that they are equally exempt from assessments, but such is not the case, Yesterday the block adjacent and belonging to St. Patrick's Cathedral, at Fifty-first street and Fourth avenue, was purchased on a prospective lease of 1,000 years, in default of the payment of $650 69 for | assessinents incurred in regulating, grading, curbing, severing and flagging Fifty-first etreet from Fourth to ifth avenue. Finding thé cathedral sold, some spir- ited Catholic notitled the auctioncer that he should liquidate the debt at once. he Haman pavement involved the highest assess. ments. Tho Stowe foundation was another expensive luxury, and the Nicholson was not behindhand in roll- ing up good round sums against the property of the well Thea taxpayers, The McGonegal patent pavement ‘appears to have been the most reasonable of any; for wo find the property of Mr. Samuel Grample, of Waver- ley place, is only assessed on account of it in the small sum of $1 10, which {s the smallest assessment in tho entire liste, The Dutch church, at Sixty-cighth street, {s delinquent to the tune of $280. The Sisters of Mercy, on Eighty-first street, between Madison and Fourth avenues, aro in debt to the city, their unpaid assessments extendin; from May 15, — 1808, | to November 22, 1871, amounting to $6,170 16. The Magdalen Asylum 1s eight years thinking of paying the small sum of $935. St. Paul’s church, in iets, is @qually long about liquidating its debt of $1410, St, Thomas’ church, Fifty-third street, where & wealthy congregation assembles every Sabbath, will have to pay $316 before it stands clear on the Comp- troller’s book, The Baptist church in Harlem is terri- bly weighted down, being in debt to the city in the sum of $1.2 5, all on account of the Haman pavement laid down a few years ago on upper Fifth avenue. The Prosbyterian church on Fourteenth street, between | Second and Third avenues, owes $19 44 for over seven years past, A public school and a meeting house aro down as delinquents, the former in over $200 and the latter in $10. The Corporation kindly comes to the rescue of such property, for tho speculators see no money in such stock. THE NEW POSTAL CARDS, Postmaster James reports that the sale of the new postal cards yesterday amounted to 100,000; 20,000, the remainder of the old postal cards were sold also, and the supply of now cards on hand is being rapidly reduced by orders from advertisers, who intend to use the cards insvead of circulars, | and against tide, our time from New York to Tro: NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1875.-TRIPLE SHEET. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, HINTS ABOUT SPEEDY CANAL NAVIGATION-—~THE UTILITY OF THE COURT OF ARBITRATION. ‘The first autumnal meeting of the Chamber of Com- merce was-held in its rooms yésterday afternoon at one o'clock. Mr. James M. Brown, for the Executive Committee, reported the following names of candidates for mem- bership of the Chamber, and they were unanimously elected by ballot:—Birdsey Blakeman, John Crosby Brown, Bowles Colgate, James B. Colgate, Frederick H. Cossitt, Jacob D. T. Hersey, James B. Horner, John M. Jones, James N, MeCall, Heury Nordlinger, Percy R. Pyne and Benjamin 8, Walcott, ‘The same gentleman reported that the subject of Proposed amendments to the bylaws was still under consideration, ‘The list of members in arrears was read, and, after some discussion, was ordered to be laid upon the table until the next meeting. A letter was submitted from M, Goodert, of the French Society, asking for relief, and was referred to ‘ecutive Committee, Letters trom the Board of Trade of London and tho Chambers pf Commerce of Southampton, Dover, Hull, Fatmouth, Sheffield, Bristol, Yokohama, Dundee, Car- diff, Sunderland and Huddersfield, tendering thanks to the Chamber for its last annual report, were received and ordered to be put on file, STEAM CANAL NAVIGATION, A preliminary report on steam navigation on the Erie Canal was then read. It was as follows:— New York, Oct. 7, 1875, To Saver D. Bancock, President of the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York:— I was appointed by the Chamber of Commerce on the 30th of July to collect information in respect to the speed of canal boats on the Erie Canal and Hudson River; also to note the depth of water in the canal. I request your attention, First—o the delays'in canal navigation Second—To the necessity of excavating the bottom to a uniform width of 5445 feet, or more. It is now in many places not over thirty feet, which compels boats to keep in the middle of thie ogual'te’ avoid running aground, as they often do, when meeting another boat ‘Third—To the advantage of having at least eight feet depth instead of seven to.increase the speed, cheapen transportation and carry more cargo. Seven fect might have suiliced for one anda half miles per hour when only horse boats were used ;,eight feet at least is wanted for steamboats making four and four and a half miles, Mr. H. H. Van Dyck, President of the Baxter Steam Canal ‘Transportation Company, kindly gave mo the privilege ofa trip on one of the company’s steam canal boats. We left New York August 5 at half-past ten P. M., arrived in Buflulo August 13 at ten minutes past two A. M.; left same day on our return at a quarter to nine P, M., and arrived in New York August 20 at twenty-five minutes past one P. M. We were detained by a break in the canal six days, nine hours and twenty minutes Our total time was twenty-one days, four- teey hours and fifty-five minutes; deducting the break, fifteen days, five hours and turty-five minutes, We struck rock in the bottom at Holley, found some low soundings between Fairport and Palmyra and near Port Gibson These rocks and low soundings are the same which I found in my survey and reported to the Canal Commissioners in 1861, On the marshes between Clyde and Montezuma, seventeen miles, the level was full of eel grass, clogging the screw and retarding the boat so that we made only one anda half miles per hour. There were Jow soundings at Chittenango, Len- nox Basin and Durhamville. The slowest time on the canal coming east was from Macedon to Utica. Leaving the centre of the canal, the depth in many places was not over six feet three inches, caused by the washing in of the earth from the slopes. These washings should be removed, 80 that boats will not be delayed in passing each other, Your attention is invited to the tables of time madé on different sections of the route, and especially to show you the increased efficiency of the canal with in- creased depth of water, On the Hudson River, with was | 6.05 miles per hour; from Troy to New York, 6.24 miles per hour. On the canal, witn adepth of water of about 8 feet from Buffalo to Albion, we made, coming east, 4.43 miles per hour, Our average from Butlalo to New York was 83; miles per hour; trom Buttalo to Troy, 8 miles. I am gausfled that with the existing locks and aqueducts a boat carrying 200 tons, drawing 6 feet of water, could, with $ feet depth of water, average over 4 miles, instead of 31-3 miles per hour.’ On the Erie Canal, with the present depth of 7 | Jeet, the boats have increased their cargoes from 180 to 240 tons, We burned about half a bushel of coal a mile—17% | tons 1n the trip to Buffalo and back to New York. Re- specttully yours, * PHOMAS COLDEN RUGGLES, Civil Engineer, Mr. F. B. Thurber called attention to the importance of the subject, and on motion it was ordered tobe | printed. A letter was submitted from the Municipal Reform Association, It was addressed “To the People of the | United States and the Boards of Trade, Chambers of Commerce and other bodies interested in the subject of a sound currency and financial reform,” and wes signed by Algernon 8. Sullivan as temporary chairman and B, D, Skinner as secretary, It was referred to the Executive Committee, Mr. Elliott F, Shepard read the following address on the objects and influences of THE COURT OF ARBITRATION. MR. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN OF THR CHAMBER OP | CowMace—In response to your invitation to address | the merebants and business men of this e:ty in relation | to “the Cout$ef Arbitration and the methods by which | disputed questioi#s.can be brought before the Court for | adjudication,” I have the honor to submit a few words. ‘The Court is the offspring of thé commerce of this port, and its facilities for a summary settlement of disputes may be availed of by every merchant auld, indeed, by every resident of the great cities of New York, Brook- lyn, Jersey City, Newburg and Albany, as well as of any other part of tho collection district of this port, upon all commercial and mercantile questions. The mombers of this Chamber may cite one another before | this Court upon a notice of not less than two days nor | more than five days, and both they and all other par- | ties have the right to name additional arbitrators to sit | with the official arbitrator if they so elect. The pro and shops the services of this Court of Arbitration will be found of incalculable advantage both to the em- ployers and the employés if they will unite in bringing their matters before it, In such a case the masters could select one arbitrator, the employés another, while the disinterested, fair-minded judge would place his wisdom and learning at the service of both parties. ‘The result of such an arbitration would produce, by the siinple operation of this commercial court, the same happy eflects which Mr, Mundella, M. P., succeeded in bringing about gt Sheffield in the cutlery trade b; the cumbersome machinery of the Arbitration Boar | Yet the success of that scheme was so great a benefac- | | tion both to capital and labor that they sent for Mr. | Mundelia from different parts of England to visit other | cities and organize similar boards, The Legislature o} the leading State of the Union has wisely provided a | facility for reaching the same results, with less trouble, expense and delay; and as the proprietors or agents of | factories and mines at Fall River, Mauch Chunk and | other places reside or do business in the city they ure | entitled to avail themselves of the services of this Court of Arbitration in the settlement of disputes about wages and hours of work. he possibilities of this court are not yet all of them developed, as it is still in its infancy; but enough has been done and enough can be seen to demonstrate its usefulness and success, At the conclusion of Mr. Shepard’s speech the meet- ing of the Chamber was adjourned. THE NEW JERSEY MIDLAND. A PLAN TO REORGANIZE THE COMPANY—PROPO- SITION BY THE SOUTH MOUNTAIN AND BOSTON RAILROAD TO PURCHASE THE DROPERTY— COMMISSIONERS’ FORM OF RECONSTRUCTION. Yesterday a meeting of the bondholders and others interested in the above company took place at Broad- way and Fulton street in this city. A plan to reorgan- ize the company was submitted, upon the receipt of which a discussion took place, and the meoting finally adjourned without definite action, The synopsis of this report is, however, of enough interest to present to our readers its salient features, It appears that THY SOUTH MOUNTAIN AND BOSTON RAILROAD COMPANY of New Jersey—a corporation duly organized, pursuant to the terms of its charter, and the several acts of the Legislature of the State of New Jersey amendatory thereot—is engaged in constructing its railway from Delaware River at Portland, near the Water Gap, where it will intersect the South Mountain Railroad Company of Pennsylvania, the Belvedere. Railroad Company of New Jersey and the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company, to Deckertown—a point | onthe New Jersey Midland Railway—a distance of about forty miles, for the purpose of making a continu. ous line from Hatrisburg, Pa., to Poughkeepate, N.Y, ‘This road will open a new and much needed route to the coal fields of Pennsylvania; will make a market for the large deposits of iron ore ‘of New Jersey situated upon the New Jersey Midland with the furnaces in Pennsylvania, besides largely lessening the cost of fuel to the New Jersey Midland and the manufacturing in- terests situated near ft, ‘The South Mountain and Boston Railroad Company propose to acquire by purchase, at the foreclosure sale, the New Jersey Midland Railway Company, with al] ita property, franchises, privileges and powers, ‘The South Mountain and Boston Railroad Company agree to complete their line from the Delaware River to Deckertown by the 1st of June, 1876, operate and main- tain the same and perform all other acts usually per- formed by railroad companies, For the purpose of purchasing the New Jersey Mid- land Railway Contpany’s ‘‘trst,”” “second” and “con- solidated”? mortgage bonds, issued, sold and outstand- ing, as well as all coupons upon said bonds due aud un- paid to August 1, 1876, also stock of said company, tho South Mountain’and Boston Railroad Company wish to issue its several bonds and stocks, in certain’ denomi- nations and amounts, giving to each bondaolder all his rights and priorities as now held by him in said road belore foreclosure sale. ‘The South Mountain and Boston Railroad Company, of New Jersey, will issue on said purchased road their first mortgage bonds in two series, “A” and ‘B,” as follows :— It will issue of series ‘A’? $1,000,000 of bonds, bear- ing date August 1, 1876, having thirty years to run, and in denominations ‘of $1,000, $500 and $100, with semi-annual coupons attached, payable in gold coin of the United States, at’ the rate of seven per cent perannum. This series of BONDS, WILL BE EXCHANGEABLE for one-third of the amount of first mortgage bonds outstanding, and held by each holder of the present New Jersey Midland Railway Company’s first mortgage bonds, ‘The company will issue of its first mortgage bonds, | series **B,” $2,000,000, dated August 1, 1876, payable in thirty years, in denominations of $1,000, $600 and $100, with semi-annual coupons attached, ‘payable at the rate of seven per cent per annum, in gold coin of the United States, with the following conditions printed across the face ofthe first six years’ coupons, num- bered from 1 to 12, inclusive:—Privileged TO PAY IN COMPANY'S SCRIP, as per terms of purchase.” This series of bonds will be exchangeable for the bal- ance, two-thirds of the holders of the present outstand- | ing lirst mortgage bonds of the present New Jersey | Midland Railway Company. The said South Moun- tain and Boston Railroad Company will _is- sue their income bonds, which bonds shall | be a mortgage upon’ all prior incomes ofthe road, after payments of interests upon the first mortgage series, “A” and “B,” in amounts sufficient to take up the due and unpaid’ coupons up to August 1, 1876, on the $3,000,000 first mortgage bonds of said pur- chased road outstanding; also the six years’ privileged coupons on series *B’? of said South Mountain and Bos- ton Railroad Company’s first mortgage bonds. The said company will also issue an kmount of its income bonds sullicient to provide and take up the “receiver's certificates,” the “unpaid employés,” claims for rights of way, and all other debts of the said New Jersey Mid- land as shall be adjudged by the Court, standing ahead of the first mortgage bonds of said purchased road at bs ana of said foreclosure sale, amounting to the sum of $—. The income bonds will bear date of August 1, 1876, payable fifteen years afler date, and shall be entitled to all income of the road up to seven per cent currency per annum, after payment of the two series of the first mortgage bonds “A” and “B.”? The income bonde shall ve .entitled to one vote for each $100 at all elections of the company, when the same has been registered upon the books of the company. The South Mountain and Boston Railroad Company vision for the correction of any errors which may creep into the decisions is ample and simple. The partics | may have a rehearing betore the same or anew Board | of Arbitration. ‘The case of Becker vs. General Insur- | ance Company of Dresden is an illustration of this | principle. In that case, owing to good cause shown, a new trial was had before the ‘arbitrator and the first judgment reversed. To the correctness of the second judgment even the defeated party | was a convert, and the decision has the | feljcity of carrying the convictions of both parties. These new trials may be had upon the grounds of error at the first one, of newly* discovered evidence, ofa deliciency of evidence, or for any reason that would commend itself to any intelligent merchant; but this Court possesses a greater guarantee against the commission of errors than any other court in | the State, growing out of its being endowed with | tho wise, comprehensive and safe power, upon its | own motion, and notice to both the adverse parties, of taking additional testimony, when it may be neces: sary to enable justice to be done. Especially is this valuable in cases where expert and scientific testi- mony is required, Such complaints as that in the case of Schenck vs. Andrews, 69 New York Reports, 148, | cannot arise inthe Court of Arbitration. In that | case the court of last resort, find themselves embar- rassed by the fact that “an “inspection of the record | shows that it had been very loosely tried.” The Court of Arbitration, on the other hand, is bound to acquire all the facts, and to bring in of its own | motion all the evidence if any should inadvertently be omitted by the parties themselves. The merchant PEARLESSLY COME INTO THIS COURT without a lawyer, for the upright, able and experienced jurist who presides in it will not allow any advantage Wo be taken of him. His ignorance of his own rights will not cause him to fail of justice. The ingenuity of his adversary caunot defeat him if the right be on his side, The Judge is to do equity between the parties, and not merely to decide a case as the parties leave it if it is evident that oither ¢ a hap allen Aad e1 rrer 4 or mistake which ought ye avoided oF d6FTec! ‘The case of Macfarlane & Co, vs. R. & C. Degener is in point, There the plaintiff and defendant came together efore the arbitrator and orally submitted their cause. ‘The pinintiff sald the defendant owed him $1,202 87. ‘The defendant denied his liability, but said he should pay at once if the case went against him. This he, had the pleasure of doing, as the arbitrator clearly perceived and decided that he’ was liable. The practice in the courts of law makes such a case impossible of occurrence in them, Such a case seems to carry the administra. tion of justice back to its pristine glory in the patri- archal times, when the head of the tribe sat in the gate | of the city and dispensed justice, himself protecting the weak and defending the ignorant, The submission of causes may be made orally by the parties if they Prefer that method, thus saving time and expense; and tn such oral. submission the parties may rely upon it that the arbitrator will be atas much pains to draw ‘out all the evidence and develop the facts and then to apply the correct principles in deciding ft as they could dosire or their own counsel exhibit, A sample of his fidelity in this regard may be found in a late case, The party is in business, and may not want his name made public in the matter, where standings on ’Charige, at the Stock Board, in broke offices, in merchants’ counting rooms which might settled by a reference to the arbitrator, who is always accessible at this chamber in the course of afew min- utes, The capacity of this tribunal for business may hard 1869 by the somewhat simitar tribunal in Paris, nown as the “Tribunal de Commerce,” In that year the number of new cases brought were. asda ahs pUinscieenan GTM Of these cases 38,610 Were settied ‘by default, 17,182 were settled er trial, 5,036 were withdrawn, 7,761 were amicably settled and 1,185 weut to the next year's calendar, AS thero is no provision for a rehearmg in that tribunal one appeal is allowed, and of all the eases appealed more than three times as many were confirmed j as were reversed, showing how satistactorily the tri- bunal is found to work. be measured by the amount of business done in the | will issue its preferred stock, in amounts to exchange dollar for dollar of the second mortgage bonds of the New Jersey Midland Railway Company, With all unpaid coupons up to August 1, 1876. Said company will issue preferred stock to the consol- idated morigage holders, to the amount of bonds so held; but where such bonds have been pledged as col- Jateral will issue stock only for the amount due, with interest to August 1, 1876. Said company will also issue preferred stock to all floating debt creditors, with interest due thereon up to August 1, 1876. The preferred stock shall be entitled to all income of the road up to seven per cent, after all interest has been paid the first and income bonds that precede said stock. The said purchasing road will issue of its common stock, share for share In the said Now Jersey Midland, which shall be entitled to all dividends, after payment of allelaims that precede it—viz., the first mortgage and income bonds and preferred stock, and each share of $100 shall be entitled to one vote at all elections of the company. In consideration of the acceptance of the foregoing roposition by the bondholders of the New Jersey Mid- nd Railway Company, the South Mountain and Boston Railroad Company will assume to protect and pay all receiver's certificates, unpaid employés, rights of way and such other ‘claims as shal adjudged by the ‘Court as prior liens upon said | road ahead of its several mortgages; and the said purchasing road to further assure the bond- holders of their good faith and full intent to carry out said agreement, they further agree to deposit with the Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company, of New York city, $600,000 of the first mortgage bonds of the South Mouptain Railroad Company of Pennsylvania as a guarantee for the faithful performance of said agree- ment.

CRIME. COMMISSIONER BRENNAN DENIES WARDEN QUINN’S RIGHT TO DO AS HE PLEASES—THE MORGUE KLEPER’S EMOLUMENTS, ‘The Senate Investigating Committee, as represented by one of its members, Senator Booth, pursued yes- terday its investigation at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, The subjects chosen for scrutiny were mainly the manage- ment of Bellevue Hospital, the Tombs and the Morgue, | and the alleged heavy profits which the Morgue keeper is said to have made out of the gale of bodies. Com- missioner Brennan’s testimony, as will be sen, effec- tually disposes of Warden Quinn's plea that he was justified in allowing the nocturnal visits of Coroner Croker’s friends and permitting Miss Shotwell to be taken out of the Tombs, The examination of Mr. White, the Morgue keeper, was rather of a ghastly na- ture, being mainly about corpses. COMMISSIONER BRERNAN was the first witness, He said he desired to make @ correction. He had previously stated the number of persons in charge of the Department of Charities and Correction at 14,000, but on closer examination he fonnd that it was only 12,000, The Commissioner denied that Warden Quinn was entitled to admit visitors to the Tombs any hour he pleased, as he had stated in his testimony before the comtnittee, but declared that he | Was supposed to conform in this respect as in every other to the printed rules, Mr. John I, Davenport, who conducted tne examination, said Warden Quinn had testified that when he was appointed he told the Commissionérs ho must not be restricted in matters of prison government, and must have the right to visit any prisoner any time, day or might, Commissioner Brennan testified that even the Commissioners had no right to authorize the Warden to take a prisoner out of tho Tombs without due process of law. BELLEVUE HOSPITAL, In regard to the management of Bellevue Hospital Commissioner Brennan said when @ patient died and | his body was not claimed by his friends it was gen- | erally sent to one of the medical colleges for dissec tion. This was, however, not the case with the bodies in the Morgue, which were kept for identification until they were in such a condition that dissection was out of all question. Before July, 1874, the eustom of allow- ig all undertakers to run into the hospital seeking for “business” was a great nuisance, but at that time he, as Warden of Bellevue, suppressed it. Mr, Brennan was questioned about ‘the disposition of the patients? clothing, and said it was kept for thirty days and if then not claimed and of a worthless character, was used for the manufacture of carpets, which had been started for the benefit of the department, If the clothing was good 1 was kept for the use of such other patients as come to the hospital filthily clad, Warden James O'Rourke, of Bellevue, testified that there were quite a number of people in Bellevue who worked for their bourd; they were persons who had been patients, and not ‘having any outside means of subsistence preferred to remain there, ‘A GHASTLY BUSINESS. Albert M. White, keeper of the Morgue, was the next Witness, Ho was uestloned very closely by Mr. Daven- port regarding his income, je said he received a salary of $500 year from the Commissioners. But Mr. Davenport wanted to know what his little extra fees and emoluments were. He said while the Bellevue Hospital College was open it paid him $25 a month, and the other colieges paid him a certain amount for every cart load of corpses transferred to them; sometimes one body was taken and sometimes as many as ten, but he was generally paid by the load, ‘This was not deemed sufficiently explicit by Mr. Davenport, who wanted to fuow how much he received for each body Uae ep AAR His whole extra income he stated at Mr. Davenport—What is the lowest you have over recoived for a body? Witness—Nothing at all. (Laughter.) That’s about (Laughter.) as low.as I can make it, avenport—I mean where you do get anything? Mr. Witness—About a dollar. MORE ABOUT WHITE’S INCOME. * The witness went on to say that the Committee of Physicians directed what bodies should go to the vari- ous hospitals, He was allowed $25 a month for the trouble he incurred in opening coffins, &c. He first said the paymentsanade to him by other colleges were i cluded in the amount of $400, which he had given as his entire profit; but, after several contradictory state- ments, he finally said his total profits were probably 2 Mr. Davenport examined him as to his other gains, but all he could get out ot the witness was that he some- times received a fee for putting a body on ice. Senator Booth adjourned the investigation till Monday morning at half-past ten o'clock. CATHERINE BRADY'S DEATH. —-_—. THE CORONER'S INQUEST—NO SOLUTION OF THE MYSTERY—ADJOURNED TO ENABLE THE CORO- NER TO MAKE FURTHER INQUIRIES. A Coronor’s investigation into the mysterious cir- cumstances surrounding the sudden death of Catherine Brady, aged about twenty years, was commenced in Chambersburg, a suburb of Trenton, N. J., yesterday. An intelligent jury was empanelled, and the case ex- cited considerable interest, The evidence adduced establishes beyond any manner of doubt that malprac- tice has been the direct agent that caused the untimely end of the young woman. Who tho guilty parties are ig an enigma which it is feared will not be solved, The drift of the testimony points to Philadelphia as the place where the deadly drug was obtained. A small bottle was produced, which was half filled with a repulsive looking fluid of a brown hue, the other half of its contents having been taken by the unfortunate young woman, enough, as the physician re- markea, to kill four persons, This bottle was found secreted under a bureau in the room where the victim breathed her last, The sad event has cast a deep gloom over the family of the deceased, who are highly respectable, and the good, moral people of Trenton and vicinity have been greatly shocked at the developments revealed in the case. A prominent physician, of wide experience, remarked to o Hxraup reporter that he had no doubt that the crime of malpractice was exttnsively practised in Trenton, but so shrewdly did the guilty parties pursue the unnatural and unlawful vocation that to establish a clear, direct chain of testimony against any of them was nearly an impossibility, Scarcely a week elapses with- out a case occurring. ‘The following is a condensed report of the evidence taken yesterday :— ‘THE TESTIMONY. Dr. Bodine testified that he had made a post-mortem examination and found that death was caused from hemorrhage after a miscarrmge. He could not say how the miscarriage was produced, whether by medicine or by the use of instruments. Dr. Jacob Quick testified that he had been called upon to attend the deceased a few days before her death; ho had no doubt but that there were means used to pro- duce a miscarriage; the symptoms she exhibited were unnatural; when I first visited her she said her namo was Jones and that she was married; I asked her where her husband was, and she said he was in Balti- more and that she expected him home the latter part of the week; the man who claimed to be her husband came to me on a Sabbath morning and said I was wanted at No. 106 Front street; 1 went along with him; afver 1 saw the deceased he asked me if I thought sho would improve, and {told him she ought to im- rove; the morning of her death this man was not pres- mnt; I asked Mrs, Hellings where he was and she said she had not seen him since he went after me; on Friday she was notin the recumbent position she should have been in; she was sitting up in bed; her stomach was in aterrible state of nausea, and she had an awful thirst; she grabbed at a small’ piece of ice, jut it in her mouth and said it was worth a dollar to er; Mrs. Hellings told me she had known the deceased for @ year and that she was “a nice, correct girl;”” whan I found her supposed husband was not present at her death I said he was an unnatural, ill-natured man; [ suggested to Mrs. Hellings that there was foul play used; she, replied that if there was it was without her knowledge; I told the father of the deceased that death resulted from malpractice, and that he should take some steps to have the matter investigated; the deceased had been to Phila- aelphi week before she died, and when she camo back she complained of being unwell; she told me she took nothing to bring about the miscarriage. Mrs. Emma Hellings, the proprietress of the house where the deceased died, testitied rather Lyrae 0 and her answers to the questions put to her by the Coroner were curt, studied and somewhat evasive. She said that she had known Catherine Brady for dbout a year, and that she stopped at her house for three weeks priot to her death; I was sick when she came, and she told me she would be glad to take care of me; she camo to my house as an acquaintance and nothing more; she complained of being unwell, and Dr, Quick attended her; she was attacked by chills about ten days before her death; she came to my house when I was out, and I don’t believe any ono brought hor there; I live alone; the day she came I happened to leave the door un- locked; beyond going for Dr, Quick, 1 did not do any- thing for her; she was sick one week before I went after the doctor; she went to Philadelphia one after. noon and did not return until the next day; she did ‘Rot say what she went to Philadelphia for; she wag not suffering when she went away, but after came back she complained of being unwell; on the Sunda: betore her death a man, who said he was her husban cate to see her; he only stopped abalf hour and t went away; did not know she was married yntil she told the doctor; 1 never saw her supposed hdsband be- fore; fe gave no name, but simply inqufr for Mrs, Jones; I asked him no questions; I heard no con- wersation betwea@ them; after her death I found a Dottie of medicine in her room, secreted under a bureau} Pgave it to her father; 1 do not know what it contained. (The bottle with its sickening contents was here produced and identified.) A man, named Henry West, called at my house a few weeks ago; he simply saluted the deceased; Charles West also called; I am sure he did not bring Catherine to my house, (The ae- coased lived in a hotel kept by these two men, @ short time before her death.) The remaining portion of the evidence of this witness, which describes the sickness, &e., of the deceased, is unfit for publication. After tho examination of seven more witnesses, in~ Gluding the father of the deceased, ail of whose testi- ey | called “on Mr. Frieake mony shed no additional light on the mystery, the tn- quest was adjourned without the rendering of any ver- dict, subject to the call of the Coroner, That official believes he can ferret ont clews which will unearth the perpetrators ie this murderous outrage, but as the case how stands, it seems to be one of almost impenetrable mystery. Public indignation is at Its zenith over this foul outrage, and the public mind will not be satisfied util the guilty parties are unearthed, THE WHITECHAPEL MYSTERY. CONTINUATION OF THE CORONER'S INQUEST— TESTIMONY OF THE FATHER AND SISTER OF THE MISSING WOMAN—A FURTHER ADJOURN- MENT. [From the Manchester Examiner, Sept, 25, 1875.) The Coroner’s inquiry into the cause of death of a female adult unknown, whose remains were found in the possession of Henry Wainwright, was resumed yes- terday morning by Mr. W. J. Payne, in the vestry room of St. Saviour’s church, Southwark. Mr. Poland, barrister (instructed by Mr. Pollard, of the Treasury), prosecuted, and Mr, R. Williams (for Mr. Besley) was retained for the defence, Superin- tendant Garforth, Chief Inspector McDonald and In- spector Fox watched the case on behalf of the police authorities, ‘The first witness called to-day was Mr. J. H. Pinell, who sold two yards of rope to Wainwright on the morn- ing of the 10th inst., and who swore to that fact, Mr. Poland stated that the quantity of rope taen from the parcels measured seven yards. Mr. John Baylis, oil and color man, 149 Whitechapel road, said he remembered a fire at Wainwright's premises, 84 Whitechapel road, in November, 1874, and deposed to the fact that a purchase of a half bundred weight of chloride of lime on his behalf was made on September 10, in that year, The price was 7s. 6d., and he (witness) was told it was wanted for a customer of Wainwright's. A box was brought to place it in, and he packed it carefully, in accordance with instructions he received. He was not certain whether it was fetched by one of Wainwright's men or whether he sent it by his messenger. ‘The Coroner directed the witness to produce his book at the adjourned inquest, ‘THE MISSING WOMAN'S PATIER, Jobn Lane, gas manager at the Royal Gunpowder Works, Waltham Abbey, the father of the supposed de- ceased woman, repeated the evidence he gave at the Southwark Police Court on Tuesday. He further suppli- mented it by stating that the last time he saw Harriet, his’ daughter, im August, 1874, she appeared in very good health and spirits, He believed that he after Christmas to make in- quiries about the absence of his daughter, When he called on Wainwright the latter said he had no doubt but that witness would hear from his daughter before long. Wainwright said ho would render every assistance in his power to find out where she \ Mr. Williams objected to the letter given by Frieake to witness bemg handed in as evidence, ‘The father could not swear that Wainwright read the letter, Mr. Poland contended that the letter should be re- ceived, inasmuch as it had reference to the absence of the girl. ‘The letter was then read by the Coroner, Witness, resuming, said that when he saw the re- mains “she came back to my view as naturally as if she was living;” the scar on her leg was caused by a red-hot poker falling out of the fire against her. By the Coroner—I can’t remember how she wore her hair, but I have seen it rolled up behind. , Cross-examined by Mr, Wiiliams.—Harriet never spoke tome ofany other than one child; she always used to write to my wife, and not to me; 1 used to look at the postmark to see where the letters came from; 1 think the scar was on the right leg, and I am sure it was. below the knee; the color of the hair, and the size of the logs, feet, head and hands, enabled me to identify the remains as those of my youngest daughter; Wain- wright hela the letter I produced to him for about two or three minutes, and he lookea at it and turned over the leaf; he told i notto make myself uneasy about the absence of Harriet, Elizabeth Taylor, wife of William Taylor, coachman, Clarendon Mews, and daughter of the last witness, also repeated her evidence, which has already been’ pub- lished. At the third and last interview she had with Wainwright he offered her some brandy and water in his office and spoke to her in a very respectful and kind manner, THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE REMAINS, The witness then gave her evidence with reference to the identification of the remains, and she was much aflected during her examination, weeping bitterly. She said that her sister generally wore a piece of velvet around the back of her head, similar to the piece pro- duced; she believed the scar which had been referred to was on the right leg; the rings she wore were of an unusual thickness, both the wedding ring and the keeper; she could not positively identify the earrings, Cross examined by Mr, Williams—I have known that my sister has been called Mrs, King for tour years; there is no doubt that the two children were hers; 1 was not present when either of them were born; she was my favorite sister, and I was partial to her; she never went so much as two months without either visiting or writing to me, but six weeks might have elapsed; I have known ‘that she has gone down. to Brighton for a visit; I was surprised to hear Wain- wright say that Harriet had gone off with another man to Brighton; she told me that she was married to Mr, King, and I believed her; that Wainwright gave her money I ceased to believe that she was married to Mr. King; when Wainwright read from the letter and telegram he did not offerto show them to me; 1 have not made in- quiries atthe Charing Cross Hotel; I believe he said that the letter came trom Mr. Frieake; my sister's hair was not dyed; the last time I saw the scar on her leg was about four on ago; the tooth which was marked by decay was the next behind the eye tooth, on the right upper jaw. 2 William Taylor, husband of the last witness, gave testimony in accordance with his statement before the magistrate as to the identitication of the remains. George William Rogers, employed as a manager by Wainwright, stated that the premises No. 215 White- chapel road’ were unoccupied from July to November, 1874, except for packing goods, The keys were kept ab Wainwright's other shop, and witness had some diili- culty in getting them from him, In November witness and his wife went to live at No. 215. A fire occurred | there on the 27th November. He recollected getting the chloride ofdime already mentioned on October 10, HIS WIFE COMPLAINED OP A SMELL ‘and the lime was tfken away. Witness recogniz®l the hotograph of Mrs. King (or Lane) as a person to whom had several times taken money at Sydney square. Once he took £2 and was instructed to say Wainwright was laid up. Mrs, King was very angry and asked why Wainwright did not come himseif. Afterw: she lied at the office to see Wainwright, Once, at the end of August, 1874, they seemed excited and quarrelsome. was at the end of August. Letters used to come ad- dressed “Mr. King,” which Wainwright opened, but witness thought none came after that time. Witness never told Wainwright that he had seen Mrs. King in a cab, as Wainwright stated, Witness remembered, in July, 1874, Wainwright giving him a six-chambered’ re- volver to pledge, but be brought it back, not being able to re than 16s. on it. Thomas Bond, surgeon, post-mortem examination. Death, he considered, had taken place many months ago; the dismemberment very recently. ‘The cause o1 death was the two bullets found in the skull, There was ascar below tho right knee, in the position mentioned b; ‘Lane, apparently resulting from a burn, Theshair was light auburn and curly, Witness was of opinion that deceased had been a mother, Mr. Larkin, surgeon, gave similar evidence, and the case was adjourned to October 1, THEFTS AND BURGLARIES. ‘The latest thefts and burglaries reported at the Cen- tral Office are as follows:— As George E, Remsen, of Williamsburg, was standing by his express wagon, at the corner of White street and Broadway, some unknown person extracted from the vehicle a large bundle of vests, valued at $100. The thief escaped. Theapartments of Elizabeth Baxter, No. 172 Eliza- beth street, were entered by sneak thieves, who stole two shawls, valued at $24. Burj effected an entrance into the house of Ber- nard Reynolds, No. 11 Crosby street, and stole clothing and jewelry to the value of $141, The clothing store of Christian Oehlerspho, 1,203 Third avenue, was robbed by burglars of several rolis of clothing, valued im all at about $700. The burglars effected an entrance by cutting through apartition fhe Police are, as usual, puzzled. WORK FOR THE CORONERS.
