8 THE COURTS. Important Order in the Erie Rail- way Litigations. Wo More Legal Skirmishing or Dilatory Mo- tions in the Tweed Suit, Verdict of Murder in the Second Degree Against Rex. BENT TO STATE PRISON FOR LIFE. A new phase in the Erie Railway litigations has just been developed through an important order granted yesterday by Judge Donohue, of the Supreme Court. This order has reference more particularly to the three suits known, respectively, as The People of the State of New York vs. The Erie Railway Company and others; 3. ©. Bancroft Davis, trustee, vs. The Erie Railway Company and others, and The Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company vs. The Erie Railway Company and J. ©. B. Davis and others. All the points in controversy in- volved in these suits have already been given in the Heravp and are well understood by the public. To Judge Donohue there has now been submitted an affidavit of Mr, ©. G. Barber, the present secretary of Mr. Jewett, receiver of the Erie Railway Company, and for some time pre- wious the secretary of the various presidents of the tompany. It opens anew epoch in the suits named, and, as will be seen, bas been made the basis of an order looking to the representation of the foreign Mockholders, to the gradual extinction of fraudulent tlaims against the company, to abolition of the receiver- ship and to resumption of the management of the road by the corporation. The following, however, is the Afldavit, which explains itself: City and County of New York, ss. :— being duly sworn, says that he 1s, and sin pointment of Mr. Jewett as receiver of the Erie Rail- pw | Company has been, the secretary of that oificer, has for Presid several years prior been secretary of the lent of that company and is well informed as to the residence and ownership of the stock and bond- holders of that company, and on information and belief be avers that a majority of the shares of the preferred Stock, that much the greater portion of the shares of the common stock and about nine-tenths of the bonds upon which interest is in arrears, are owned and held im Great Britain, and in like manner he further states that the owners and holders of said stock and bonds so held and owned abroad have sent to the United States Members of a committee by them selected, of whom Sir. Edward W. Watkin is chairman and for whom Mr. John Morris, solicitor, &c., in London, voth of London, is legal adviser, and that after full conference with the receiver, Mr. Jewett, ‘as to the future management and organization of the Affairs of said company, oh, ‘and the said receiver among othe! following general conclu- pricing ta mid Jewett us the officer’ of the court deems it his duty to bring before the Court for any ap- propriate sanction or instruction, viz :— #irst—That the receiver should give to the commit- Jee his views as toa proper scheme for the rearrange- ment or reorganization of the affairs of the company. Second—That bondholders whose interest is in arrear to have a voice as to the expenditure of net tarnings otherwise applicable to interest that may heed to be expended during the period that default may eontinue while the affairs of the company are being d in that condition which will authorize the ter- Mination of the receivership. Third-—That such Voice might be practically expressed through a representative committee of the last named bondholders or of the said bond and stock holders whose advice the receiver should consult as to the ex- penditure of the last uamea earnings. Fourth—That the last named committee should do as _ they may find needful, open an office in the city of Lon- don for the transaction of business connected with the affairs of the said expenditures and with the measures | for the management or reorganization afo1 the oper expenses of which office the receiver shouid pay om the bonds of his receivership, and that the re- ceiver tranfmit monthly to that office a statement of earnings and expenditures ag he may find practicable. That it is just and expedient that at least those bondholders whose interest is at any time in arrear should be allowed to vote, and that it is desira- je that the laws affecting the company should be so amended as to allow such voting, and that in the meantime all such proper measures should be encour- aged by the receiver, with a view to their becoming a of rearrangement or reorganization as will ob- struct mere gj voting apd combinations, and et the same time encourage 4 steady and bonest repre- sentation of the bona fide stock and bond hokiers who may be entitled to vote. Sizth—That it ts proper and would be advantageous to allow the stock and bond holders residing abroad to Some representation from their own numbers in the Board of Directors, so soon as the laws may be so amended as to permit the election of @ limited number | Of non-resident direotors. Seventh.—That the receivership should be terminated 8 BOON as practicable by negotiations, if possible, or by foreclosure ifnecessary, so that the company can be re- Meved of unjust and fraudulent engagements originating in the abuses of past management, and its affairs can be placed in a condition to be safely, prudently and Siently conducted by @ corporation. —That w facilitate the carrying out the meas- ures which these conclusions contemplate, Mr. Morris should be associated with the present legal advisers of | the company and with the counsel of the receiver, and be regarded as one of the legal advisers of the under. ‘And. ‘deponent further says that he has read this affl- davit to Mr. Jewett, the receiver, and is desired by him to present the same to the Court for such sanction or instruction as to the matters therein as the Court may deem proper to give. Aud deponent further says that the interests invoived are very large aud complicate and that unless they are very carefully managed and reasonable precautions are taken to allay the jealousy | | and to give a fair representation to the interests and | the judgment wishes of the foreign stock and bond holders, there may be a needless and expensive litigation, which said con- clusions seem well adapted to prevent. Sworn, &c, Cc. G. BARBER. ORDER OF JUDGE DOSONUE. Making the above affidavit as the basis, Judge Dono- hue yesterday granted the following order, which also is self-explanatory :— ‘On reading and filing notice of motion for this orde: with proof of service thereof, you, the attorneys for th tiffs in the above entitled actions and for the de- ts who huve appeared therein respectively, and | on motion of Mr. W. MacFarland, of counsel for Hugh J. Jewett, Receiver, &c., no one appearing to oppose, it ig orderea that until the further order of this Court the | receiver of the Erie Railway Company be and he is hereby authorized in a prudent and proper manner not | inconsistent with his general daty as a receiver, to take | such action as he may deem advisable upon the basis of the conclusions and wo accomplish the purposes set forth in said affidavit and to make the proper payments | thereby made necessary. CHARLES DONOHUE. It will be seen no opposition was made to the above order, so that it is fair to presume that ite directions will at once be carried out without opposition. THE TWEED SIX MILLION SUIT. Really the sharpest, though at the same time the shortest and most decisive opinion given by the Su- | preme Court, General Term Judges, consisting of Judges | Davis, Brady and Daniels, is that contained in a sup- | plomental opinion given yesterday by this Court, The | opinion is upon the kind of order tw be entered upon | the late decision of the Court affirming the order of Judge Barrett refusing to vacate the order of arrest | Against Tweed or to reduce his bail. It will be seen | that the Court expresses a determination to put an end to legal skirmishing and dilatory motions and have the | case brought to speedy trial. The following is the opinion :— Per curiam—The stipalation given by plaintiff's attor- Rey, after the bearing of the motion at Special Terin, | Felated in terms to that motion and ebnoxiously was g.ven Wo meet the contingency of a denial of the motion. | That stipulation was superceded by an order adverse to | pinintifs, and which extended the defendant's time “to auswer, demur or take any other action to which he might ‘tied’ until twenty days after the service of an amended complaint and of the bill of particulars. | That order hae been wholly reversed on this appeal. There wus no stay of plaintiff's proceedings by the or- pe me the strict legal result is that the defendant’s | ime 40 answer or demur has expired. The opinion of | the Court on the appeal directs that he have five | days to answer, after the service of the or- | der to be entered thereon. The defendant now | asks to have inserted in the order @ vision to the effect that he may answer, ‘seme a take such otber action as he was entitied to when the motion was made. Every conceivable meritorious | question of law or fact in the case can be raised by answer. The public intorests and, we think, the true interests of the defendont, require that th of | skirmishes should termimate in a decisive trial or the | merits We have the power to compel this now, and | ‘we decm it our duty to do so. A contrary course ms the door to every form of legal stratezy io be | displayed in dilatory pleadings, technical motions and evasions of the fiual issue to an indefinite period, Meanwhile the defendant may remain in jail unjusily, and unrelieved i{ innocent, or, if guilty, baifling justice using for that purpose the proceeds ‘of his frauds. | Ti is time to stop, if ible, this condition of things, and we shall therefore grant nothing but Jeave w | auswer, The order will provide that the defendant | may answer within seven days, which will leave the plaintiff sufficient time to notice the case for trial at ‘he November Circuit Tho order will be drawn ac- cordingly. REMARKABLE FATALITY LAWYERS. \t with a rathor singular history and remarkable fatality among the lawyers and others conducting it | of the deceased He closed with a touching | Judge Barrett's charge was clear, succinct and impar- AMONG | NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, fas, after nearly fifteen years’ litigation, finally reached a termination in the Supreme Court, General Term. Is history, however, can be briefly told. George Wood, the present proprietor of Wood’s Museum, tn the spring of 1860, hired from John 8, Giles, receiver and trustee of the Hamblin estate, the old Bowery The- atre, Having put the theatre in good order, he rented it, with the cousent of Mr. Giles, for one year, with the privilege of five years, to Messrs, Spalding & Rogers, the circus men. The agreement was that the theatre should only be used for equestrian and theatrical perform- ances, and, in cage the lessees violated this agreement, they were t© pay $5,000 damages. A year later, just after the attack on Fort Sumter, just as patriotism was at fever heat in this city and to consideration weighed as nothing inst the scale of patriotisin, the memorable Twenty- New York regiment of volun- teers, commanded by Colonel Kerrigan, boldly marched into the theatre and took possession of this historic temple of the drama, and used it as a barracks for re- cruiting. Of course this was without the consent of the lessees, and as soon as possible the patriotic intrud- ers were ousted and the theatre again put in proper shape for renewal of its Thespian performances. The lease was then surrendered to Mr. Giles, who immediately relet it Lo other equestrian performers. Shortly afterward suit was brought by Mr. Giles in the Supreme Court against the original lessees to recover the $5,000 damages pr: vided for in the agreement, and $2,000 additional for re- urs, Pekod now we come to the remarkable features of this case. Judge A. A. Phillips was the original counsel of Mr. Giles und Judge James R. Whiting the opposing counsel, Both of these gentlemen died while acting as | attorneys in the suit, Mr. Schieffelin succeeded as counsel and he, too, shortly died. Mr. Robert D. Liv- ingston then succeeded to the attorneyship, but his health gave out, after which defendants employed ex- United States District Attorney Samuel G. Courtney, Mr. Wesley Gleason succeeding the late Judge Phillips. ‘After the case had been on the calendar for a long time it was referred to Jolin C. Dimmock, but before the tes- timony was all taken he died. ‘The’ case was then re- ferred to ex-Judge Leonard, who bappily survived the taking of the evidence and made his report, allowing $5,000 to the plaintiff. An appeal was taken from this judgment to the General Term, which tribanal, as staved above, reversed the judgment of Jadge Leonard. This reversal is on every point and grants to the defendant a new trial SHOT BY A WATCHMAN. There have been few trials in the Court of Oyer and Terminer possessing more features of terest than that of Henry Rex, the private watchman indicted for murder in the first degree for shooting the boy John McKenna, Being called to as he was passing as “Fritz” by a group of sportive boys seated on a pile of lumber in the lumber yard on the North River near Twelfth street, he, without further provocation, pulled out his revolver from his pocket, took deliberate aim at the group and fired three shots. One hit the lad McKenna in the head, penetrated the brain, and with a few convulsive strug gles the Jad was dead. After being arrested and taken to the station house Captain Kennedy pointed to the inanimate form of the murdered boy, the blood still oozing from the fatal wound. The prisoner looked on and exultingly said, ‘I am glad I did it!” and repeated these words two or three times. On the continuation of the trial yesterday, before Judge Barrett—or, in fact, its commencement, as only the jury was empanelled on the day previous—the prisoner, looking perfectly stolid and indifferent, took a seat by Mr. W. F. Howe, his counsel, while Assistant District Attorneys Rollins and Bell conducted the prosecution. After the case had been elaborately opened by Mr. Bell various witnesses were called, who told the story of the killing and subsequent conduct of the prisoner, as given above. The testimony of a brother of the de™ ceased and his young comrades was quite touching Jobn Boylan, a man who was passing at the time, testi- fied that he saw the prisoner raise the pistol and point itin a horizontal position (which he illustrated), and then deliberately fire two shots in the direction of the deceased, The witness added that the prisoner elevated | the pistol before firing the third shot. With the med- ical testimony, showing that the deceased died from the effects of the shots, the prosecution closed its case, The prisoner was the only witness as to the occur- rence for the defence, He walked to the witness stand with @ confident air, smiled as he took his seat, and | answered the questions put to him with the utmost in- difference. Mr, Howe examined him at great length. His story was that he fired the shots simply to scare the boys, and that he had been previously assaulted by some boys, who fired large rocks at him; he disclaimed all inteut to kill. Mr. Rolling subjected the prisoner to one of the most scathing cross-examinations ever administered, and made him admit that the deceased had not assaulted nor done anything to him. While a deathlike silence reigned in the court Mr. Rollins asked him if, when looking at the dead body of the victim, he had said he was ‘giad he did it” The prisoner smiled and said he could not remember, he was so excited. Mr, Howe called several witnesses as to his character, among whom was Rev. Dr. Held, who proved that he was a regular attendant at bis church. Mr. Rollins jokingly inquired, “And bave you ever known a church Member to do awrong?” This inquiry, of rather broad application, evoked general laughter. he summing up and charge followed, Mr. Howa, while acknowledging the atrocity of the crime, con- tending that there were many mitigating circumstances in favor of the prisoner; that he was aggravated by an attack of boys some minutes previous, and, though still laboring under the nervous excitement natural under the circumstances, had no intention to take the life appeal for the prisoner, and was followed by Mr. Rollins, who claimed that the prisoner was guilty of deliberate mur der and had placed himself outside the pale of mercy. tial ‘The jury, at a quarter-past five, retired to deliberate upon their verdict, | ‘A few minutes before eight o’clock the jury came in | with a verdict of guilty of murder in the second degree, | | | Rex's poor wife sobbed hysterically, and his young son was violent in his expressions of grief. The priscner stood up and regarded the jury with a stolid demeanor, | His counsel consulted with the prisoner as to what ho | had to say, but the prisoner shook his head. Mr, Howe | then merely remarked, “He says my poor wife, sir,”” Judge Barrett addressed the prisoner, saying:—'Rex, after a careful and impartial cousideration of your case | the jury have rendered the only verdict which, in of the Court, would be con- sistent with the facta, Of your guilt there was no doubt, and there wre no mitigating circumstances in your case, for the reason, I regret to say in passing sontence, that you exhibited from the beginning to the end a most shocking insensibility as to the terrible crime you committed, If, when you were brought face to face with the body of the unhappy boy you slew, you had shown any sign of sorrow or regret for what you had done there would possibly be some compassion for you, | but you exulted in what you had done and exhibited a | | degrce of fiendish atrocity; and on the stand to-day, before the jury aud the Court, you never ex- | hibited the ‘slightest sign of sorrow, Even if, | according to your story, you innocently and acci- dentally slew the boy, you'might have exhibited some human compassion for your action, but you did not; yee stand before the Court seemingly unrepentant. the sentence of the Court is that you be confined at | hard Javor in State Prison for the period of your nat- ural life. The prisoner's wife and child silently and in tears embraced him, and could scarcely be removed. The prisoner's countenance never fora moment changed from its stony insensibility. MARINE COURT—PART 1. AN UNPROFITABLE EXCURSION. Before Judge Alker. Martin et al. vs. Luster.—This litigation grows out of one of the numerous tug and barge excursions of last summer, The plaintiff claim that the defendant hired | from them for an excursion up the Hudson, under the | auspices of the “Grand Rink Combination,” on the 25th of August, their two barges St. Nicholas and Lawton, together with a tug, at the price of $200, and that for all passengers over 400 they were to be paid fifty cents ® head, defendant claiming that he was so popular among the Masons and Odd Fellows that he could per- sonally dispose of at least 500 tickets, the money to be paid over on the boats making their last Janding on the y up; that the boats were furnished and made all the landings, but at the last one, observing that the band was about to leave in consequence of non-payment for their services (the big fiddie going so far as to threaten an assault upon somebody with his instrument), the plaintiffs also demanded their money, which ws refused by defendanvs manager, who immediately took himself off and the party dis- persed, leaving the barkeepers and other employés to curse their ill luck in being cheated out of their antici- | pated profits, The version of the story given by de- | fendant differs very materially from piainlifie’. He says that, being a musician, and having control of large band, the plaintiffs approached him and prope that they should furnish the boats and he the music for a Sunday trip, the profits of the excursion to be divided between them; that he fuifilied his part of the contract | and did his best to sell tickets, but there being a large | number of other trips advertised on the day named, only twenty-two paying excursionists made their ap- pearance; that on plaintiffs demanding their money the sam of $11, being ‘one-half of the proceeds, was ten- dered, at which they got mad and swore, and tne cap- tain of the tug, who wi also looking for his pay, intimati that he would mn the the = riv all hands took barge adrift in 4 fright, and, led by the dancing master, incontinently fled. He also says that on advertising afterward that be would return their money to all ticket bolders he bad applications from twenty-four, who, on being taken into a private room, re willing to make oath that they had paid, out $1 each, and that he was therefore out of poeket $2 in cash, besides other expenses. The Jury rendered a verdict in favor of the defendant. DECISIONS. SUPREME COURT—CHAMBELS. | By Judge Lawrence. | ents va, Applegate,—Attorney’s name not stated in er. Bium ve.

Savery & Co. against the bark Iddo Kimball, her tackle, &c., to recover $3,815 damages on a shipment of 100 bales of cotton, shipped from Savannah, Ga., on September 14, 1865, to Messrs, Rawson, Bridgeland & Co., of New York, and of which some thirteen bales were consumed and seven bales damaged by fire on the wharf at New York, the claimants set up as a defence that proper notice Kad been given to the consignees of the arrival of the ves- sel and discharge of cargo, and that the delivery of cargo was completed when the goods were landed. De- cision reserved. Martin Godtrey, who was convicted in the Court of General Sessions of mayhem through biting off the ear of Robert Southern and sentenced to State Prison for seven years, has, through his counsel, been striving hard to obtain a reversai of the judgment. The Supreme Court, General Term, to which the case was carried on appeal, has decided that the conviction was legal and proper. Judge Brady, in writing the opinion of the Court, has given a clear, learned and most interesting and exhausting opinion on the subject of mayhem, In the suit of Mr. Ohrey, who seeks reinstatement as a member of the St. Jacobus Verein Benevolent Associa- tion, Judge Van Vorst, holding Special Term of the Su- perior Court, decided yesterday that the demurrer was welltaken. He was expelled for taking benefits while sick, though not confined to his house by his ill- ness. The old suit of John B. Green against the city for un- paid laborers for laying Croton mains in various streets and avenu twice and once been carried to the Court of Appeals, has at length reached its conclusion, Pursuant to the de~ cision of the Court of Appeals the case was to have been retried yesterday before Judge Donobue, holding Su- preme Court, Circuit. After the case was called the par- | ties interested held a conference, and it was finally con- cluded to accept $68,000 from the city, and a verdict was ordered for this amount, Frederick G. Janusch was for several years in the em- ploy of Wolfgang Kuffman, manufacturer ot brass grate and fender ornaments, and subsequently went into busi- ness for himseif, Mr, Kaffman claimed that Janusch had surreptitiously obtained some of his models, and | upon this he caused his arrest on Saturday night, when he was locked up over Sunday, but subsequently dis- charged through want of sufficient evidence. Mr. Janusch thereupon brought suit against Kuffman, claiming $5,000 for false imprisonment. The case was tried before Judge Monell, of the Superior Court Messrs, Townsend and Aul’ appearing for the plainti and Mr. Benjamin F. Russell for the defendant. The trial terminated yesterday by a verdict of $500 for the plaintifl The case of John M. Beck vs. Bryan Lawrence, in which a judgment was entered in the Superior Court | yesterday, before Judge Saginet, in favor of plaintiff, was one involving some novel features, being for com: missions charged by plaintiff to be due him from de- fendant for services as a real estate agent or broker in rocuring defendant's dock at Morrisania, to be leased for the term of ten years to the Morrisania Steamboat Company. The peculiar feature of the case was that at the time the services of plaintiff were performed the Morrisania Steamboat Company had only a prospective existence, Beck, having the dock, as agent, to lease, was applied to’ by Captain Longstreet, a stesm- boat man, to ascertain from Lawrence, the owner, whether the dock could be leased for steamboat pur- ses, Beck applied to Lawrence and reported to Longstreet favorably, whereupon the latter called a meeting of capitalists, and at the meeting gave the information he received from Beck, that the dock could be procured. The meeting then took the prelimmary steps, which culminated in the organization of the Morrisania Steamboat Company, which, upon being in- corporated, appointed a committee to wait upon de- fendant and lease the dock for two years. This lease was executed December 27,1870, at $5,000 per year for ten years, whereupon Beck claimed his broker's com- mission at two and abali per cent, upon the gross amount of rent, which both the steamboat company and the defendant claimed he was not entitied tore- ceive, hence the suit. The case occupied three days. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for $781 99, the whole amount claimed. James R.

William Tuite, who was placed on trial yesterday charged with shooting Charles Gross Claus, the keeper of a beer saloon at No, 770 Washington street, was con- vieted this morning of assault with intent to kill, and ‘was sentenced to ten years in State Prison. THREATENING AN OFFICER, John Sullivan, aged nineteen, was found guilty of aseault and battery. He was arrested by Officer Daniel Fitzpatrick, of the Sixth precinct, on the night of September 7, while rambling around the corner of Chatham and Pearl streets, with a revolver in his hand. When taken into custody he said:—“I can ghoot an officer every day in the week and get clear of it.” Six months in the Penitentiary, THEFT FROM A SAFE. Jobn Thulin was tried on a charge of grand larceny, made by Carstan F. Opherman, at whose hotel, No. 1 West street, the accused was staying. Complainant stated that on the night of September 20 $383, in green- backs, was abstracted from his safe. The accused was seen to go down stairs to where the safe was a few min- utes before the money was taken. When the property was missed the accused was charged with the theft, but indignantly denied it. A search was instituted and the money was found concealed in water closet, The jury disagreed and the accused was discharged. PLEADED GUILTY. Richard MeNevin pleaded guilty to petit larceny, and ‘was sent to the Penitentiary for six months, On Sep- tember 18 he stole lead pipe, of the value of $15, from No, 515 West Forty-second street, ACQUITTED. John Smith and George Springfield, bootblacks, were acquitted of the charge of stealing an overcoat valued at $10, from an office at No. 17 Wall street, on August LEVI AHRENS’ CASE AGAIN. Mr. Mott, counsel for Levi Abrens, who has been coufined in the Tombs since July 21, awaiting trial on | the charge of grand larceny and receiving stolen goods, made a motion for his discharge on the ground that the District Attorney has not brought him to trial within the time specified by statute. The motion was denied and Friday next fixed as the day of trial for the pris oner, TOMBS POLICE COURT. Before Judge Otterbourg.

SUIT FOR A RECEIVER—ALLEGED FRAUDULENT INSURANCE TRANSACTIONS—A MUDDLE OF COM- PANIES, DISSOLVED AND DISSOLVING. ‘The case of Mr. C. M. Jewett against the Craftsmen’s Life Insurance Company, the Hope, Mutual and the New Jersey Life Insurance Companies, and Edward A. Lambert, was called in the Supreme Court, Special Term, yesterday. The plaintiff desires the appoint- ment of a receiver for the Craftsmen’s Life Insurance Company, to whom shall be turned over ail the assets of that company now in tle hands of the New Jersey Company and also $9,000 in the hands of the defendant Lambert, which he is alleged to have fraudulently received. The plaintiff is a stockholder in the Craftsmen’s company, and alleges that the defendant Lambert, as president, induced the Board of Directors, through false represen- tations, to make a contract with the Hope, Mutual and New Jersey Life Insurance companies, under cover of which assets of the Craftsmen’s Company were trans- ferred to the Hope; that subsequently the Hope became insolvent and dissolved, and all its assets, including the money received from the Craftsmen's Company, were transferred to the New Jersey Company. The plaintiff further charges that President Lambert re- ceived $9,000 in cash trom the Hope Insurance Com- pany for his influence in inducing his company to make the transfer, and that Mr, Lambert was to have re- | ceived a further sum, depending upon the amount of assets transferred, Mr, Jewett brings the action on his own behalf and that of other stockholders to set aside all the proceedings as fraudulent, The case, after being formally opened, was adjourned until the 26th inst.

AN ORDER OF ARREST ISSUED IN A SUSPENDED SUIT—TWEED SERVED WITH THE PAPERS IN LUDLOW STREET JAIL. An order of arrest was yesterday served on William M, Tweed, at his quarters in Ludlow Street Jail, The order was issued by Judge Westbrook on the affidavits of James H. Ingersoll, William F, Taintor, Wheeler H. Peckham and the Attorney General. All these aflida- | vits were published in the Heratp in June last, and it is only necessary, in this connection, to repeat the jacts therein set forth. By chapter 808 of the Laws of 1868 it is provided | that after suit has been commenced on claims against the city the Comptroller may intervene and adjust | such claims, the ostensible object of the bill being to save the county’s money. ‘On the 12th of July, 1870—it is charged in the com- plaint—James Watson and William M. Tweed presented to Richard B. Connolly, the then Comptroller, six war- rants for the | yer of claims held by Ingersoll & C aggrogating the gross amount of $938,640 44. ‘The war rants bore date and were for amounts as follows: July 13, 1870. + $160,000 42 | July 23, 1870. + 152,242 05 | July 29, 1870...... + 61,541 3 ‘August’ 4, 1870. 155,297 73 | August 15, 1870. + 158,367 04 August 23, 1870. 151,274 86 It is stated in Ingersoil’s affidavit that these claims invalid and were made and presented by Tweed and ‘atson. The order in the case was made by Judge ‘Westbrook on June 17, 1875, when suit was begun; but owing to the habeas corpus argument and appeal, on which Tweed was eventually released, the prosecutors allowed the matter to remain in statu quo. The order of arrest was placed im the hands of the Sheriff at two o’clock yesterday and he immediatel; sent the warrant in charge of Major William rd Quincy, who detailed Deputy David G. MeGonigle to serve the process upon Tweed at Ludlow Street Jail. No formality was necessary, other than handing the | paper to Tweed in his room at the jail. The order of arrest is returnable on the 21st of October. BOARD OF POLICE. The Board of Police Commissioners met yesterday, Mr. Matsell in the chair, A petition from citizens of the Twelfth ward, asking for the promotion of Sergeant Osborne to a captaincy, was referred to the Committee on Rules and Discipline, Sergeant Woodruff, of the Righteenth precinct, was transferred to the Seventeenth precinct. Commissioner Smith, from the Committee on Rules and Discipline, reported favorably upon engrossing on the minutes of the Board honorable mention of Detec- tive McGavan, of the Nineteenth precinct, for morito- rious services in capturing the murderers of Abram Weisburg. The report was adopted. On motion, the Property Clerk was directed to return to Virgil Whitcomb, the owner, a number of articles seized by the police during a raid on a gambling house in West Twenty-eighth street. The following named inspectors of election were re- moved on various ges, and the evidence in their cases was ordered to be sent to the office of the District | Attorney :—Gallagher, McManus, Mulloney, Morgan, Frank, Birmingham, Larkin and O'Neil. A delegation of citizens from Harlem was, on mo- tion, invited to address the Board. The Chairman, Mr, Manchester, called the attention of the Commissioners, in behalf of residents in Harlem, to the reckless blast- img done in the vicinity of 121st street, and asked that the police authorities interfere and compel compliance with the law in reference to blasting. Hundreds of houses, the speaker said, had been damaged through the carelessness, and more than one serious accident had resulted, Mr. Matsell informed the delegation that the matter will receive due consideration at the hands of the Board, and, on motion, the Superintendent was in- structed to see that the ordinances with relation to blasting are complied with, PUTTING THIRD AVENUE ON THE LEVEL. At a meoting of the Commissioners of Parks yesteraay the specifications for the regrading of Third avenue from 147th street to Harlem bridge were approved and proposals for the work were ordered to be advertised WALL STREET NOTES. THE NORTHWEST BUBBLE EXPLODED—THB IN- YESTMENT STOCKS UNDER THE HAMMER— CHARLES ¥RANCIS ADAMS ON RAILROAD MAT- TERS, The brief notice made in this column yesterday of the split in the pool of fhe Northwestern clique—al- though exclusively reported here—had the effect in the early transactions of causing @ decline in the stock. ‘These shares had been among the firmest held in the mar- ket, and when the inquiries were made early yesterday Morning as to the truth of the Heratp’s statements they were confirmed by the principal operators in the stock. Upon this there was a general throwing over- board of the holdings. The truthfulness of the ‘Wall Street Notes” comments was questioned early in the day, but when block after block of the shares came out from unexpected quarters there was no longer any doubt that a 4 LEAK HAD BEEN DISCOVERED and that the late confident bulls were free sellers. Northwest common stock consequently declined from 88}4 to 365, with free offerings. Following these de- velopments New Jersey Central fell to 9934 as the story of its immense debt of $200,000 per mile was bruited abroad, and in its wake Delaware, Lackawanna and Western followed. At this time some of the solid in- vestors of the latter securities came to the front as purchasers in order to stay a disastrous decline. At one time stocks looked panicky, but there was a brief glint of sunlight as Lake Shore rallied to 641%. Yet this was soon followed by the most important decline of the day in nearly every stock, the fluctuations being recorded in the financial column, Missouri Pacific sold as low as 20'4, Union Pacific lost nearly all its buoyancy, and what with the hardening of the money rates, the decline in Western Union stock and the general rumors as to the YAILURE OF AN UPTOWN BANK, the market closed ina most feverish condition, In regard to telegraphic movements it may be as well to state that the renewed threats of a wealthy telegraphic enterprise in competition all over the country, which come from San Francisco, have adversely affected Western Union stock, AS nearly half the capital (or 160,000 shares) is held on the street for speculation, there is no reasoning in times like the present against the improbability of formidable competition. If real holders are not inclined to fight on their own account the sellers for a decline have the advantage, DUNCAN, SHERMAN & CO. It fs stated that Mr. William Butler Dancan has with- drawn his offer to give his obligations with interest at the rate of 33 1-3 per cent for claims upon the estate of Messrs Duncan, Shorman & Co. The offer, thus far, has not been responded to by a sufficient number of creditors to render a general concurrence 1n the ar- rangements proposed by Mr. Duncan at all probable, THE GOLD PREMIUM was affected yesterday by the private cable reports that ‘about $1,500,000 would be shipped to New York by to- day's steamers, but, although the price was carried down to 11634, 1t was thought that the “bears” were “playing,” as the amount withdrawn from the Bank of England was understood to be intended for Canada, HOW TO TREAT RAILROADS, Charles Francis Adams, in his able report as Railroad Commissioner of Massachusetts, thinks the only course to pursue toward railroad corporations is to bring to bear upon them the power of public opinion, and sug- gests that this be done by the be haya of a Board 18 PTOV of Arbitrators, like the one that ‘od 80 efficient in Massachusetts, The duty of this Board, he says, is to hear complaints, and, if they prove just, to suggest to the officers of the corporation the propriety of cor- recting them. If they refuse, un appeal follows to the Board of Directors, and should their response prove un- favorable the matter is reported to the next Legisla- ture for such action as it may ‘deem proper to take. Thus far this plan, Mr. Adams states, has worked well; the Board of Directors have complied with’ the suggestions in a frank‘and Nberal spirit. He admits, however, that in Massa- chusetts the railways are owned by the community, and that popular opinion there would be prompt to sustain the Commissioners. But it is hinted that the popular opinion of Massachusetts would have no effect on raik ways outside the limits of that State, MEMORANDA, The old Knickerbocker Fire Insurance directors have filled the vacancy in the presidency of the office, caused by the decease of Mr. George Hodgson, by the election of Mr. Josepn L. Townsend, and Mr.'E. W. Albro has been appointed secretary to Succeed Mr. Townsend, THE CITY TAX SALE. THE FARCE OF SELLING VALUABLE PROPERTY AT MOCK AUCTION. ‘The chamber of the Superior Court was well filled yesterday noon at the renewed sale of lands and tene- ments for unpaid city assessments The principal buyers were, as usual, persons who make a business of such purchases, and Clerk of Arrears Cady seldom had to request a successful competitor to favor him with his name. Occasionally, however, a bid would be given in a highly pitched and nervous voice, go different from the low and monotonous tones of the regular speculators in these investments, that it clearly betrayed a novice in such matters, Lots numbered 827 and $28 in the list, assessed in the sum of $¢40 59, for grading, curbing and flagging, were quietly disposed. of for the first bid of va thousand | years” and yet the property summarily treated and coolly passed over was the new and unfinished St, Patrick's Cathedral. Mr. Cady rattled over the list of block after block of Fifth avenue property, including St, Luke's Hospital and St. Thomas’ church, and assigned it pretty evenly to the “Corporation” or to some bidder for “a thousand ears.” The first real competition was over a lot on ifth streot, between the Bowery and Second avenue, disposed of for twenty years. Immediately afterward roperty on Fifteenth Street, assessed to Mrs. W. H. yanderbilt, was run down by sl yeara, the closest bidding of the day. adjoming lots on Fortieth street were checked off at terms varying from twenty-five to hundred years, the kind “Corporation” taking what the speculators did not appear to fancy. The school and Church of the Holy Cross, on Forty-second street, went for a thousand years, and then the Corpora: tion bad another long inning, Several numbers on the list assessed to the Harlem and Hudson River railways, the Church of the Heavenly Rest and the Church of St. Boniface were skipped altogether by Mr. Cady, the assessments having probably been paid, Some spirited bidding attended the disposal of many of the Forty. seventh and Forty-cighth street lots, one on the latter street, assossed to Columbia College, being purchased for a’ hundred years. Then St. Patrick's Cathedral turned up again; eighty lots on Fiftieth and Fifty-first streets, assessed for the aggregate sum of over $4,000, going for one thousand years. The sale ended at lot 1,299, and will be continued on Thursday next. POST OFFICE NOTE. Hon. James N.
