THE CANAL BOARD. State Treasurer Raines in Answer to the Investigating Commission. SEVERE REFLECTIONS ON THE REPOR?. The Attorney General on a Misfor- tune of the Commission. THE YATES-BABCOCK CHARGES. Aupany, Oct. 21, 1875, ‘The Canal Board, in their visit to the work on tho tanal near West Troy, made seven or eight tests—open- ing walls 4x6 feet—and in no case were the specifica- tions complied with, Although the walls in a majority of cases were found to be good, in some cases the sement was poor, and in others it was very hard They opened a wall at the West Troy weigh lock, built awenty-five years ago and not repaired since, which was found to be of an inferior class of work compared with that done under the present engineers, The Willard Johnson contract work was visited and pro- nounced, by the State Engincer, to be a good piece o¢ work, though, in the opinion of some of the members ef the Board, an unnecessary expense had been in- curred. : The Board met at ten A. M. A QUESTION OV PRIVILEGE. State Treasurer Raines rose to a question of privi- fege and said:—Mr, Chairman, before the Board pro- peeds to the consideration of the engineers’ question I flesire to make an explanation of my connection with a pertain award, the history of which I found contained tm a New York paper this morning over the signature or certified to by the Canal Commission. The history of the transaction is simply this:—In May, 1872, the act upon which the award was based was passed by the Legislature by a unanimous vote of the Senate and Assembly. I say by 4 unanimous vote, for, sithough I find recorded in the negative in each House the representative of the city of Buffalo— Mr. Lewis in the Senate and Mr. Alberger in the As- sombly—yet it is apparent that ifcither of these gentle- men had offered the slightest explanation or objection jo the matter contained in the bill it could not have been introduced into the Assembly on the 10th of May snd passed and received the signature of the Governor pn the 16th of May. I therefore say the vote in both houses on the bill was unanimous, If thero is any fact wt all shown by the vota im the negative it simply shows ‘hat information was possessed by the representatives kom the city of Buffalo and Erie county which they did not communicate eithers to the Senate or Assembly. This matter was brought jo the attention of the Canal Board and committee was appointed. The committee called on the law officer of the State for a written interpretation sf the duties of the Canal Board under that act, That ypinion was given, in which the Attorney General mys— ‘ion having been requested as to the |r construc- ieee upon the ect entitled “An act to_com in work in Black Rock Harbor”—chapter 740 ws of 1874—I am of opinion that the Canal Board, under act, are bound to find the actual cost of the work, and the amount the work actually cost the actual’ pay- made by the State should and when amount 4s obtained under competent proof, the Board no discretion but to allow the excess of cost over the unts paid. It is but proper to state that previous to the opinion being given to the Canal Board by the Attorney Gen- pral a former Attorney General of tho State had tested constitutionality of the law through every court in State, and its constitutionality had been affirmed the Court of Appeals, and he only made a written nt of what was in the knowledge of every mem- of the Board. The action of the committee was based upon this written opinion of the Attorney that they had no discretion in the pret pad that the written opinion was based upon the de- Bision of the Court of Appeals affirming the constitu- tionality of the actin regard to which the opinion was given. The ATronyuy GEeNERAl—Let me correct you. My pinion was not based upon any decision of the Court of Appeals, but on the law itself, I was simply requested bo construe thetaw, and my opinion was in the words of the law. Mr. Raines—So pecaliar was the ee sewent Mhat it was thought proper by the Canal Board to in- forporate it in tne records of their proceedings. In bat law it is distinctly stated that the Board ‘should sliow,” and there is not the Opportunity fn the wording and the eek the act for any construc- tion different to that given by the Attorney General. It is preted by the Attorney General as being mandatory its character, and as {ar as that opinion is concerned, lly, Sob regent pet ns enameled Spay peeing matter, and | was assured there was not the slightest (question in respect to the correctness of the optnion, so the land. Now there 1s one point I ‘t to touch upon. Tt says, in the statement of the Commission, that the estimate made by the officers the State—that engineers—was re- testimony of the brother the claimant, asserting thas the expenditure was more than double the amount, was accepted. The tes- |mge 4 of the officers of the State was to this effect that this work ought to have cost eo much upon such pbasis. The interpretation of the law under the act was that we should give the actual cost, regardless ot what it ought, to have cost, and it is a no = Jorious so far as Roos D, Lord, 3s & contractor, is concerned, he is ono ef the most extravagant contractors on the hole line of canals. I assert this and it can be proved all the contractors that George D: Lord cannot do work on the line of canals within twenty-five per cent $s low as other contractors because he does not give r that rg supervision. I wish to not inany way justify George D. Lord’s awards jaken by themselves. I simply say, so far as I am con- Tacted under the law and on the opinion of what was interpreted to be a mandatory act and a con- scientious discharge of my duty as a State wiicer. 1 do not wish to be understood to justify in the Blightest particular the passage of the law, nor the inciples upon which the awards are based; bat it isa ter of history that, from time immemorial, in this , awards have been made of this cl yr, and only say this, ifthe great benefit that has accrued to State from the special message of the Governor and She establishment of the Commission and its investiga- tion is to reverse these precedents, tor which 1 willing to give them due credit, and, if by this sacrifice of my reputation, little as it wil be no necessity for the could be sure in future there assage of these laws, and Bo repetition of an action of this character. I shall be Pontent to step back into private life, weighted with wl the infamy which may attach to'’me and all the embers of the Canal Board, whether justly or un- iy. The Attorney Genoral—While I should be loath to lieve that this commission intended, unnecessarily, detract from the character or credit of any individual, it ts somewhat remarkablo in this respect, that the’ have not alluded to the law under whicl this acted, or, at least, they do not quote it in connection with their report, They also State that there were several witnesses examined, but to oe (omoad the fact that tiie receipts and vouchers and Sverything necessary to prove the claims were com- pelied to be produced before the committea. Nothing bf that kind is said. It has no allusions to the fact that when the Auditor and Commisstoner went to the com- mittee to know what objection there was to paying the estimates on the contracts, the only objec- tion pointed out was that the stone was pot so largo as the specifications required, and was not perfectly in line and other small objec- Hons, and the conclusion was that, as we had $70,000 jn reserve co as to make the State good in case of any Mefect in tho work, they could afford to pay the $20,000 asked for without running any risk, the only Uhing pointed out was that, and I ‘suggested to the anditor that it was probably safe enough to pay $20,000, They bring it up in a form that the whole nse was incurred by us, and if an attempt was it the law officers interfered with them, whoreas if the facts were put forward as they shoul the cage would bave an entirely different face put on Tam inclined to think i is unfortunate that two of members of that commission should now be candi- tates for office. Mr. ines—I desire to say that I recollect well the feeling | had in regard to that law at that time, that it Was an outrage, but at the samo time I was not con- scious of any power within myself, or any duty in- fumbent on ine, to seek to defsat tho provisions of » mandatory law by any arbitrary act, The rare ae ate was quoted a the full re. port in the ¢, but the report in the Argus was baly an abstract of it. agi beock, Mr. Fairchild asked Yates whether he and Babcock had @ consultation with cee Seymour about a yertain contract about wl he (Fairchild) had tn- quired of Seymour, Mr. Yates—Yos, sir; I had spoken to Seymour about ‘hat matter. Mr. Fairchild—Did you charge Seymour with in- rdination for conferring with the Deputy Attorney eral about this contract? Mr. Yates—Yes, air; I told him he had done wrong ‘y consulting with you over my head, oan Pairchid-Did Babcock concur with you in this jon Mr. Yates—Yes, sir. The Secretary of State read from the be ghe are given vy Engineer Scott before the commission, in which be ‘dmitied several errors in bis monthly estimates, and wilted Babcock how he made them and why he accepted snd past upon them ’ Mr, Bi said de new of no rush eerom, Ag ipposing bim to would no meta e, of *s). superiors woul Babcock’s). supe! had took these estimates from Mr. be a competent who he did notabiak bie’ (Mr appoint him was competent, as done at the request of the Governor. ‘To Mr. Miller—We always reserve or allow fifteen per cent to meet errors, ‘To the Secretary of State—I do not know of instances where hemlock has been substituted when oak or pine js called for; don’t know of chestnut being substituted, Lhave used chestnut instead of oak, co. ring chest- t best to Mr, Raines—We use hemlock asa foundation in wot bottoms; it is the cheapest and best material, ‘fo Mr. Miller—The survey of the Bullard’s Bend work was simply for information; it had nothing to do with lettings; it was a general survey for the use of the Legislature; It it was for a lotting I would havo advised are-survey for a test, Treasurer Raines called William 8, Scott, and he was sworn. He explained tho matter read by the Secretary of State, and satd he bad made a measurement of the wall as far a8 he could; as regards the error of 40,000 feet of hemlock, it was not pointed « out to him as belonging to ntract ; the copy of the estimate was not correct, and this led him into the same error, To the Secretary of State—I could not detect the error with the papers before me, unless I had the original estimate, which I had not; I Accepted the estimates given to me as correct, To Treasurer Raines—I made this explanation before the commission. Mr, Raines—Why does it not appear in their report of your testimony? Mr. Scost—That I cannot answer. The Attorney General remarked that this commis- sion made up their testimony in a very unfair and un- just manner, and it was unfortunate that such men were up for office at this time. Mr ines—Mr, Scott, how were you treated while betes the commission? Were you intimidated in any way Mr, Scott—Yes, sir. Mr. Raines—How ? Mr. Scott—I was repeatedly reminded that I was un- der oath, and I was charged with perjury; that I was coming there with wards put inmy mouth by Messrs. Yates and Babcock;" this I denied at considerable length; that ought to appear in the report. we you seen your testimony since it ba ihe le sir; F asked for itly, bat T.

To Treasurer Raines—I examined the sand spoken of and reported that it was loamy to Babcock; ho said it was the best we could do and would have to use it, To Mr. Millor—That wag in April, and we had orders pe. up in order to prepare for the opening of navi- jon. "a Raines—Did you make an explanation of this matter before the Canal Commission? @ Way dose it not in the printed minutes? ‘y it not appear e printed minu' A. Ido not know, sir. ‘We Mr. Raines—It does not appear there. ‘The Chairman—You don’t know that it does not. Mr. Raines—I do know, for I have read it all throt The Attorney General—Probably it ia left out for the same reason that, in giving the testimony of Fred Spey wey the Canal Board accepted the statement ed Lord and rejected that of the State officers, whereas the State officers gave simply an estimate of what the cost might be, and Lord brought the payrolls and bills and all the vouchers, and showed everything. In the account they put the statements of the two as being on the same basis—why, I do not know, or what the object of the commission is. But I do know it is not @ fuir statement of the caso at all It is entirely a one-sided — state- ment, and there is no justification, for these Commissioners, in any way, shape or manner, making such a statement in their report. The ideaofa man going to the work and saying it ought to cost so much, and another man comes here with his payroll and book and gbows the amount paid rary aan: backed by the affidavit of the foreman, and all the vouchers from be- ginning to and then putthe statements on the same basis say the Canal Board accepted one and re- jected the other, is not ri t, and I repeat what I said fore, it is unfortunate these men should be cap- didates for office at this time. 0 William B. Cooper was called and examined by Mr. Miller, He said he was Division ‘ineer from 1872 to 1874; William B Taylor was State Engineer; Babcock was with me a pene of the time; I remember the survey for the Champlain Canal enlargement; it was in 1871 made the survey; afterwards I spoke to the Engineer about it; that was in 1872, and about two or three months after Babcock’s arge 5 particular mention was made about the survey at Bull- ard’s Bend; Mr. Taylor said he did not like the looks of it, and he did not know about the propriety of retain- ing him; I went and investigated the matter, and told Mr. Taylor that it would not be jast to discharge Mr. Babcock, for the'reason that I did not find that Mr. Babcock had altered the figures; about a year after- ward he ordered me to discharge Mr. Babcock; I thought it was on political grounds that he was discharged; that was my view of it The Lieutenant Governor here stated that unless there was some further testimony he would declare the case closed, Mr. Miller said he would like to call ex-State Engi- neer Taylor, unless the Board deemed it unnecessary. Tho Lieutenant Governor thought it unnecessary. Mr. R. J. Hilton was called and sworn:—I had charge of building the swing bridge at West Troy; it was built before the appointment of Messrs. Yates and Babcock; there was iron used; | made the estimate and submit- ted fy to the resident engincer—either to Charles Hilton, who was about that timo engineer, or to Mr. Babcock, who succeéded him; it was first pro- posed to use stone to counterpoise the bridge, bat it ‘was finally decidea to use iron ore and old scrap iron to the amount of 120,000 pounds, To Mr. Fairchild—Tho weight of the stone was not heavy enough ; that is tne reason we substituted iron; there was a process by which we could learn how much stone would be required to answer the purpose; the plan called for stone; I did not make the plan, bi Mr. Miller then said, that although he had sent for Mr Taylor, yet, if the Board thought his testimon: unnecessary, he would not ask the Board to wait for him; he suggested an afternoon session for a hearing of & summing up. ‘The Lieutenant Governor said he could not attend. Mr. Raines moved that the Board adjourn till after the election. The Lieutenant Governor suggested that the motion be withdrawn, argument be now beard, and then, if thought advisable, the Board could adjourn. Mr, Raines t) modified his motion so as to read, “that when the Board adjoarn it be until the 9th of November.” Mr. Willers moved to make it the 27th of October— Lost, 2 to 6. Mr. Raines’ motion was then carried. The matter was then postponed till November 9. The Board then, after some routine busi- ness, adjourned. THE MAIL SERVICE CONVENTION.

The Convention of the United States Railway Mail Service Mutual Benefit Association was resumed in the Post Office yesterday, President Hulse in the chair.

S., Captain Dar- kee, arrived at thig port yesterday, thirty-two days from Bristol, bringing the crew, six in number, of the schooner Aura, of Jersey, England, which was dis- masted in a hurricane on October 10, Captain Sawyer, of the Aura, was interviewed by a Hsraup reporter and makes the following statement:— “We were bound from Rio Janeiro for Gaspee and had variable weather to October 10, when we encoun- tered a harricane, blowing with terrible force from the south, throwing tho vessel on her beam ends and shift. ing the ballast, Seeing there was no chance of the vessel righting we cnt away both masts, Wedrifted about until the 14th, when we reached latitude 4140, longitude 60 and were taken off by the bark Tancook, from Bristo for this port. Captain Durkee, of the Tancook, put his first mate and three men aboard of the schooner, with orders to rig jurymasts and ran her imto Halifax, the ‘Yessel being uninjured with the exception of her masts, While cutting away the masts of the schooner one man, whose name is unknown, was killed by one of the eas uae Sten Bim he crew of the oe = charge ot the British Consul, who will probably sen them to their destination. sara THE MCULLOCH TRIAL. The farco of the McCulloch trial was again up before the Board of Polico Commissioners yesterday. The prosecuting witness, David J.

His clerk, John Judge, who was implicated tn the for- geries; surrendered himself on learning of bis employ- er’s flight, and from his confession it appears that the forgeries extend over several years, but that Henderson has been able to conceal his unlawful use of other People’s names by taking up the notes to which they were attached before they became due. He had constant dealings with bill brokers, and, as he bore a good reputation and the names on the paper which he presented were always first class, he had no difficulty in getting it discounted, Of course, this series of operations could not go on for- ever. By an unforeseen hitch in the usual train of proceedings some of the notes passed from the hands of the brokers to the banks, and Mr, Henderson, feeling that matters had come to acrisis, withdrew himself from the public gaze. A man answering to his descrip- tion and giving his name as J. 8. Butler sailed on tho steamer City of New York for Havana on Thursday last, There ig little doubt that the passenger giving that mame was the ex-tea broker. The steamer named arrived at Havana on Wednesday last. Judge, the bookkeeper of Henderson, was committed by Justice Smith to the Essex Street Jail, on the complaint of Mr. D. G Roberts, a Philadelphia er. The crime specified was the forging of Mr. Roberts’ name to a certain note for $496 50. Judge states that he had been in the employ of Henderson for six years, In 1873 his employer was pressed for money and forged the name of a Western firm for a considerable amount, ‘The clerk allowed himself to be drawn into participa- tion in A SERIES OF FoRGERIES, of which this was the beginning, and by the help of which Henderson managed to struggle along until some unexpected losses rendered his detection inevitable, The first notice the bookkeeper had of his employ- er’s flight was that Henderson had assigned his busi- ness to Mr. James F, Malcolm, for several years the legal advisor of the tea broker. The miserable tool, finding himself cast off and penniless, confessed his crime to the authorities and gave the names of firms whose signatures he had forged. The parties were notified, and Judge was held until a complaint was brought against him in due order, Mr. C. RB. Krogsgaard, a note broker, doing bust- ness at No, 64 Wall street, was the person most heavily | culture swindled. Having known Henderson about twenty | years, and having always found him apparently up- Fight’ in his dealings, he readily accepted, all the paper brought to him by Henderson. His loss is heavy. The wife of the fugitive tea said to be wealthy, and many of his relatives are persons of property and consideratien. Whether they will assume Mr. Henderson's obligations is a mat- ter ofdoubt. The assets are almost nothing; a house in Brooklyn, worth some $3,000, is all that can be found, and there is little or no stock on the prem cecupied by Henderson on Water street. In his pock book were found more notes, which he doubtless in- tended uttering had not his career been closed so sud- deniy, Mr. Malcolm states that the fabric of Hender- son’s business had been a mere shell, and that an acci- dent was likely to bring about an exposure at any time. He had known Henderson for many years, and had always regarded him asa man of integrity and pos- sessed of considerable property. Judge, by advice of his counsel, js very reticent, and the number of persons victimized by Henderson cannot ascertained as yet, It is not known whether any steps will be taken for his extradition, as the parties who have suffered most have as yet hardly had oppor- tunity for consultation, Judge is to be tried at tho Tombs this morning, when some further particulars of the affair may be elicited. THE CANADA BANK FORGERIES, peek ic PR DISCHARGE OF THE PRISONERS BY JUSTICE WANDELL—EDWARD HALL REARRESTED ON A UNITED STATES COURT WARRANT. ‘The examination in the case of Edward Hall, Philip dealer is | Schilling and Emma Waters, implicated in the late | forgeries on the Bank of British North America, was | continued yesterday before Justice Wandell, at the Washington place Police Court. Messrs. Barrett and Grant appeared for the prosecution and Mesers, Oliver and Spencer for the defence. The first witness examined was Mr. Edward Patchell, connected with a branch of the bank at Renfrew, Can- ada. He testified that on the 8th of October he paid a draft for $400 against one of the forged letters, to a man named William Dickson, who was subsequently arrested and is now in jail at Pembroke, Can- ada, and that on the day he paid the draft he saw the prisoner Hall in company with Dickson, in Renfrew, Being cross-examined by Mr. Spencer, the witness was not willing to swear positively to having seen Hall, bnté said it was his inmost conviction that he had. George B. Buchanan, another employs of the bank, testified to having paid a draft for $1,800 against il of credit presented by A. L. Haddock, who is now in prison at St. John, N. B. Louis Schmitt, who keeps a lager beer saloon at No. 6 Centre street, as well as some of his customers, were brought on the stand. Their testimony was unimport- ant, Mr. Spencer, counsel for the prisoners, then moved their discharge, on the ground that no’ positive evi- dence had been produced against them, and that they had already been in custody four days. He argued the matter at some length On the conclusion of his argument Justice Wandell pissy said, “I see no evidence by which I caa hold . t e prisoners. They are therefore discharged.” Philip Schilling and Emma Waters walked out of the court room but Edward Hall, the principal prisoner, was intercepted by Deputy United States Marshal New: come, who presented a warrant for bis arrest, signed by United States Commissioner Osborne, It was an extra- dition warrant granted on the testimony of William Dickson, who was captured in Canada and who swears that the’draft. which Mr. Patchell paid to him in Ren- frew, Canada, he received from Edward Hall. Hall was taken to Ludiow Street Jail, and will be arraigned be- fore Commissioner Osborne at eleven o’clock this morn- A FORGER’S CURIOUS HISTORY. Max Waldin, who is now in jail in Newark waiting trial on a chargo of forging a note for $1,000, aud who tried to commit suicide by hanging himself in his cell the night beforo last, has a curious European history. His wife, who resides in New York, visited Newark yesterday, and stated that his real name was George Schwartz; that in 1866, in Bavaria, he was tried and convicted of forgery and sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment; that while en route to prison he tried to escape, but failed, and then tried to commit suicide, as he did in Newark. He served six years, but became so tl! that the physicians said he would dio if longer’ imprisoned. He was given a ticket of leave for a year on condition that he would return and serve the balance of his term. He ran away to America, however, previously inducing his wife to marry him’ by professions of wealth, &c. He deserted her in New York, and but for his arrest for forgery would doubtless have been married to another woman by this time. In his Bavarian crime he had a confederate, who, while attempting to escape, was drowned in the river Danube, THOSE CHIPS. r ‘The attack made by Disbecker upon General Smith with such a flourish of trumpets falls harmless on its intended victim. Investigation makes it a matter of surprise that even Disbecker should have placed him- self in so ridiculous alight. The chips were borrowed by General Smith of the property clerk at police head- quarters for the use of a party of young people who wero temporarily stopping at the country residence of the Genoral, and who, besides other games, wished to indulge in some innocont ones requiring the use of counters, ‘When sent to the house they were found to be too much soiled and they were put back in the box without being used for a single game. ‘The highest market value of the checks does not exceed $25.

Porr Jervis, Oct, 21, 1875. About the timethe late war broke out there came to this place a man named Ira 8. Bush. He was # man of splendid physique, of more than ordinary and had an interesting family. He engaged in business as a carriage manufac- turer, Professing the deepest religious convictions, he s00n took a prominent position in church circles and became superintendent of the Sabbath school of the Presbyterian church of the place. Being. well ad- vanced in the mysteries of the Masonic Order, he also became one of the leading members of the order in this vicimty. In the early part of the war he joined a company of volunteers and was unanimously elected captain. When the war was over he returned to his old business and was looked upon as one of the most prominent men in this section, enjoying the unbounded confidence of the entire community. 4 RUSH OF COUNTERFEIT MONEY. In the early part of 1867 Captain Bush commenced making tours throngh the adjoining counties, ostensi- bly on matters pertaining to his business, Soon there- after the sections visited by him became flooded with counterfeit money. Bogus $10 and $20 bills on vari- ous banks, amounting to thousands of dollars, were found m almost every town in Sullivan county, and in every case the possessor of a bill could trace its receipt back to the hands of Captain Bush. Many of these were returned to nim, and he redeemed them, always sending back his pious regrets that be had inno- cently been the cause of such annoyance to his cor- respondents, But the fact that the passing of so many of these counterfeits was traced to him aroused suspicion in tho minds of certain parties that the Captain was not issuing them innocently, and they had him arrested. So great was the regard for and confidence in Bush among tho people of Port Jervis that the arrest was looked upon ag an outrage on a pious citizen. ‘the Rey. Dr, Fair- child, then pastor of the Presbyterian church, de- nounced the parties active in producing the arrest as conspirators, and pledged Bush the support of the church in’defending his honor and integrity. ‘The proof was so strong against him, however, and accumu, lated so fast that many of his church brethren wavered | in their faith and stood aloof trom the suspected Captain, A WELL TOLD STORY. He finally made the following admission to his pas- tor. He said that a few months before his arrest he was greatly embarrassed in his financial affairs, Ho went to New York one day to try and borrow some money of a friend. He was unsuccessful, and was get- ting on a ferryboat, with a heavy heart, to take a train for home, when he kicked his foot against a package which lay on the deck. He picked it up, and upon opening {t he was overcome with amazement to tind that it contained several thousand dollars in bank notes, Believing fervently that the money was a@ providential aid sont to him, he returned a prayer of thanks to God and put ‘the suddenly acquired wealth in his pocket. The first one of the bills he used was returned to him as being acounterfeit, Phen it was that he yielded to the thought of raising money on the counterfeit bills, with the intention of redeeming them as rapidly a8 pos- sible. He ropented tearfully of his misstep, and prayed that his brethren would assist him in righting the wrong he had been unable to resist the temptation of committing. Dr. Fairchild accepted Busl’s story as the true confession of a gorely tempted and truly peni- tent fellow man, and assured him of his hearty co- operation in settling the difficulty. But a large part of the doctor’s Neay Spaiap refused to entertain the idea, and the result was a serious split in the church, and the final withdrawal of Dr. Fairchild from tho charge, ‘THE CAPTAIN CONVICTED. Meantime the prosecution of Captain Bush was pressed, but owing to the efforts of Dr. Fairchild and many prominent citizens of Port Jervis all the counter- feit bills that Bush had passed were secured and de- stroyed, and the ee delayed tor nearly four years. At last Bush’s case Was brought before the court at Mon- ticello, and despite the absence of positive evidence against him—thanks to the efforts of his pastor and friends—he was convicted. But, owing to the good char- acter the prisoner had succeeded in showing to the Court and the pecultar circumstances connected with the case, he was sentenced to but two years’ imprison- ment in the State Prison. OUT OF PRISON. As soon as his time was out Captain Bush returned at once to Port Jervis and resumed business at his old tand. He gave out that he returned to live down his misfortunes and show his friends that their confidence had not been misplaced. He pushed his business with more than his wonted vigor, and it was not long before he had regained much of his lost prestige. He sought for and was given admission again to the Presbyterian eburch, and again took a leading place in its councils. He was to all appearances remarkably successful in business, and his past was almost forgotten. FLIGHT OF THE CAPTAIN. In the carly part of last week he went to New York, as he said, to buy some stock. He had not returned on Tuesday last, and inquiry being made about that time, it was discovered that ‘his family had gone also, with all their household furniture, How the removal was effected without the fact being made public is not known. He leaves behind him liabilities amounting to from $5,000 to $19,000, all of which must be borne by some of the friends who spent their money to save him from prison four years ago, they being his in- dorsers. It has been discovered that Bush is a brother- in-law of the notorious Tom Ballard, counterfeiter and burglar. He was no doubt aiding that criminal in 1867 in issuing his counterfeit money in this section. It is also believed now, from certain circumstances, that Bush had knowledge of, {if he was uot active in bringing about, the robbery of the Port Jervis Bank, with others of Ballard’s gang, in 1869, when somo $50,000 was secured. Several notes which Bush had recently negotiated in this place are now said to be forgeries. Two of his sons livo in Port Jervis, but they deny having had any knowledge of their father’s in- tention to nd. Bush came from Canada to this Place, and rumors which were rife during his trouble in '867, that he was forcea to leave there on account of a heavy forgery, have been revived. Dotectives will, no doubt, be put on his track. A piano belonging to bim and waybilled for Utica, was discovered yesterday in a car in the Erie Railway yard heré, and was seized by his creditors. The excitement over his disappearance is intense, MURDER OF POLICE OFFICER REUPP. CONTINUATION OF THE TRIAL OF JAMES KEENAN FOR THE ALLEGED MURDER OF REUPP. ‘TRENTON, N. J., Oct, 21, 1873; The trial of James Keenan for the alleged murder of Police Offeer Jacob Reupp was continued in the Court of Oyer and Terminer to-day. As on the previous days of the trial, the court room was densely packed with spectators and the most intense interest was taken in the proceedings. At the opening of the court the cross-examination of Police Officer Louis Hartman was resumed. At its conclusion Westly T. Applegate was sworn. He testified that he was present at the time the deceased received the fatal wound, and after it was given ho saw the prisoner, James Keenan, raise his hand and throw something away which glistened in the gas-light and proved to bo arevolver, which witness subse- quently picked up near whero Keenan was standing; witness gave the revolver to Police Officer Joseph Bi Pierson, at the police office. The other portion of this witness’ evidence was corroborative of that given by Police Officer Hartman and which was considered very direct against the prisoner. Police Officer Joseph B. Pierson and Police Marshal John Tyrrell testified in relation to the condition of the deceased whon he was brought to the police office, Louts ©. Gosson, a justice of the peace, who took the ante-mortem statement of the deceased, testified that he saw him on Sunday morning, the 6th of June, in his bedroom at the residence of the deceased; this was shortly after the shooting took place; Reupp scemed to be suffering considerable pain at that timo; hho told ‘me he had been shot; I took a statement from him in writing; he then said he was very badly hurt and that he did not think he was going to got well, that he could stand it, but his wife could not, (The statement alluded to charges Keenan with having fired the fatal shot.) After the statement was made, Mr. Reapp made his will in the presence of Mayor Crevelling, Police Marshal Tyrrell and myself, ‘he witness was cross-examined ‘at length by ex- Senator Stockton, William Reupp (son of the deceased officer), and Abraham Holt were also examined by the State. From present indications, the trial will not be con. ciuded before next Monday. GLENDENNING IN ORANGE, Yesterday, at the session of the New Jersey Presby- terian Synod, now holding in Orange, the caso of Rev. John 8, Glendenning came up on his appeal from the decision of tho Jersey City Presbytery, whereby his pastoral relations with the Prospect avenue church were dissolved. After much discussion the caso was reforred to the Judiciary Committee, The latter reported the case, and recommended that it be referred to a judicial commission to decide the point whether or not the Presbytery had the power to dis- solve a pastoral relation when noither the pastor nor church applied for such a dissolution. The motion prevailed, and the Moderator appointed a commission, FIRES IN RROOKLYN. ‘The frame house, No, 68 Franklin avenuo, owned by William Kelly, wos yesterday fired by an’ incendiary and damaged to the amount of $260; insured im the Phenix Company.

PROGRESS OF THE WOEM—-NEARLY SIX wee F 140N DOLLARS EXPENDED—THE TEMPORARY BRIDGE TO BE CONSTRUCTED IN 1876. The construction of the suspension bridge which is | to span the Kast River and connect the two cities, was | commenced January 2, 1870, At that time it was said that the work would bo coupleted within six years, and that the cost would not exceed $10,000,000, ‘The { result shows that such estimates were far short of the time and cost of the stupendous undertaking, The | engineer, Mr. Roebling, is now of the opinion that the | bridge will not be completed until July, 1879. Thus far | the work has cost $5,800,000, and at least $10,000,000 | more will have to be raised before “man or beast” | | can cross the structure which will join the | two cities, At the last meeting of the Board of Trus- | tees it appeared from the report ot the Treasurer, Mr. Prentice, that Brooklyn had paid toward the work up to October, $3,800,000, and New York only $1,500,000, The amount on band is $52,636 70. This will not go very far, and the trustees are anxious to obtain from New York her quota of $500,000, which they have been waiting for several weeks. Much opposition has been met with, in the progress of tho construction of the bridge, from New York: officials, and to this circum- stance is attributable to a considerable degree the comparatively slow march of the great improvement which will enhance the value of property and facilitate travel between Harlem and Kast New York. The late Mayor Havemeyer was a steadfast and earnest op- ponent of the bridge project from its conception to the end of his life, He regarded it as A SWINDLE AND AN IMPRACTICADTLITY, and would never sanction the expenditure of a single dollar upad the enterprise, After the death of the late Mayor, however, it was anticipated that Gotham would readily subscripe hor share, as she would participate in the advantages of the bridge. It would appear that the more sanguine advocates of the work reckoned without their host, and that the cloak of economy which cov- ered Mayor Havemeyer has fallen upon the shoulders of the Common Council Brooklyn, though groaning under taxation, has patd up handsomely, and looks to the future for the return of her money with interest in the benefits that will grow out of her union with Gotham, Comptroller Green, ot New York, is SORi yaaa as a rule, for his absence from the regular fortnightly meetings of the Board of Trustees. The most regalar members in attendance are the President, ex-Senator Henry ©. Murphy, Mayor Hunter, Comptrolier Powell, William C. Kingsley, James 8. .’ Stranahan, Lawrence Turnure, F. B, Thurbur, William Marshall, James M, Motley, H. W. Slocum and Thomas Carroll. The ex- penditures for labor and material now average about | $78,000 per month. There is suilicient stonc on hand | to keep the masons at work on the tower on the New | York side and on the anchorage there up to December 1, when the main work will be suspended for the win- ter. The tower on the Brooklyn side and the anchorage were completed two months ago, and on this side ot the river the engineers promise to have the stono work | ready by the Ist of June, 1876, so that the temporary bridge will be thrown’ over next summer. On this latter structure the men will work and weave the wires which are to form the great bridge. | The length of the river span is 1,596 feet. The Iength | of each land span is 930 feet; length of New York ap- proach, 1,562 feet; length of Brooklyn approach, 971 feet; total length of bridge, 5,989 fect; width of bridge, 85 feet; total height. of roadway above high water at | towers, 119 feet, above high water in the centre of the river, 185 feet; hefght of towers above high water, 271 feet, President Murphy {ts of the opinion that even though New York should failto pay her share just yet they have suilicient money and material on hand to go on until the close of the | season, At the last meeting of the Board of | ‘Trustees it was stated by engineer Roebling that the wire rope for the temporary bridge would cost between $45,000 and $50,000. Contracts should be | made before February 1, so as to give manutacturers an opportunity to prepare the material in time for the commencement of the structure. The proposals call for “steel and iron wire ropes for foot bridge, cradle cables and other appliances necessary for the construc- tion of the main cables of the East River Suspension Bridge.” The galvanized foot bridge ropes aro to weigh | twelve pounds per foot and to be two and five-eighths | inches in diameter, with breaking strength not less than 240 tons. All wire ropes will be tested by the engineer | of the bridge. i BRIDGE APPROACHES. It has been stated by Mr. Murphy that the property | to be purchased on the Brooklyn side, lying between | the tower and the bridge anchorage, would cost about $120,000, In estimating, the assessors’ valuation is | taken and multiplied by two and a half. The cost of | property to be taken on the New York side wili bo | about $500,000, ‘The work of demolishing the buildings to be removed will commence in May. Workmen on the Brooklyn anchorage are now en- gaged in preparing the latter for the erection of work- shops in which the wire strands will be manufactured during the winter for the temporary bridge. ‘The plans and specifications for the wire to be used in the bridge proper are prepared, and bids and proposals will be re- ceived for the work, As yet nocontracts for wire work have been made, There are fortunes in store for suc- cessfal contractors in the wire way in this direction. A DOCTOR'S TROUBLES. 4 CARD FROM DOCTOR J. H. DEW. New Yorx, Oct 20, 1875. To tre Eprror ov THR HeRALD:— In your columns of Monday was an article headed “A ‘Physician in Trouble,” which brought my name conspicuously before your readers. I must, therefore, beg that you will do me the justice to publish the fol- j lowing statement of the case:—I was called to see Mr. | William H. Lambert, whom I had known personally ayear or more. He was conscious and complied with several requests that I made, though ho did not talk. Thad time to examine his case and to determine that his symptoms were all unmiistakably those of “heart disease.” I could discover nothing suspicious in the case, and there was a previous history of heart trouble. ‘Within ten minutes after my arrival he died. My idea had always been that when a physician was calied in time to determine satisfactorily to his mind that the | cause of death was due entirely to natoral influences | he was the proper person to render the certificato; | consequently I sent uo report tothe Coroner. The | case was reported, as I have since learned, by a police- | man. I gave no certificate at once, but gained per- mission to make a post mortem, On Friday morning, the 15th, I was accompanied by Drs, Bosley and Goelet to the house to perform the operation. We were then informed by Mrs. Lambert, who is a very intelli- | gent person, that the Coroner had been in a@ short while before, and said that if her physician could cer- tify as to the cause of death it would be all right, and that he did not know that it would be necessary to open the body. And further, that he left without saying anything about his return. In this she seems to have been in error, as was subsequently determined. 1 again explained that the Health Department re- quired the form of the heart lesion, and that | could not give the certificate withont the examination. We all beheved what Mrs. Lambert had said, and my only thought was that the Coroner regarded the case as I did. We then, with Mrs, Lambert’s consent, proceeded to open the body, without a thought of any possible infringement either upon the rights of the Coroner or upon the law. Our report reached the Health Departinent in proper form, and was sent to the Coroner by Dr. Harris as a case of sudden death requir- ing under the statute an inquest. At the inquest tho | cause of death was fully substantiated as stated in my certificate, rupture of the right auricle of the heart, duo to fatty degeneration; and tho Coroner recognized the fact that there was no intention on my part to infringe, J. HARRIN DEW, 263 West Fifty-fourth street, TO BE TRIED FOR MURDER. The Grand Jury appeared in the Kings county Court of Oyer and Terminer before Judge Tappen yesterday and presented an indictment against John McGuire for murder in the first degree for killing Samuel Jackson, a colored man, at Schuctzen Park, in South Brooklyn. Tho accused, it will be remembered, threw a large stone at his victim and crushed bis skull. McGuire, on being arraigned, pleaded not guilty, District Attorney Britton wanted the case tried on noxt Monday, but counsel for the defence said he would not be ready at that time, and no day was fixed. McGuire was re- manded to Raymond Street Jail. MARRIAGES AND DEATHS, | "MARRIED. Buss—Letere.—In Brooklyn, on Tuesday, the 19th | inst, by Rev. J. B. Cleaver, Prank E. Butss to Cuues- vixe'A.
