8 NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1875.-TRIPLE SHEET, “THE COURTS. Application for a Reeeiver of the Bleecker Street Railroad Company. Injunction Against Snow Ploughs and Sweepers. THE RIVAL COMMISSIONERS OF JURORS. \mportant Decision on the Payment of Commutation Money. Succeeding the incorporation in 1865 of the Bleecker Street Railroad Company the expense of constructing the road and equipping it was met by an issue of frst mortgage bonds. The amount of these mortgage bonds | ® was $700,000, and Mr. Benedict Lewis was made trustee under the mortgage, He died some years ago, and no ‘one having been appointed in his place, recently, upon & petition signed by a majority of the bondbolders, Mr, John M. Harlowe was appointed to fill the vacancy. Meantime the company having failed to pay the interest on the bonds and also being in arrears in the payment of taxes, and in tact, as alleged, being in a bankrupt condition, a strong desire was evinced on the part of to have @ receiver of some of the bondholders the road appointed The road has also ts- sued a second mortgage bond, the hold- ers of which are also necessarily interested in matters pertainmg to the road, Among tose signing the petition for the appointment of Mr, Harlowe was George A. Sistare, Shortly following bis appointment as trustee Mr. Harlowe commenced an action against the railroad company for foreclosure of the first mort- gage bonds for non-payment of the interest due last July, On that action motion for a receiver was mado betore Juage Donohue, at Special Term of the Supreme Court. The Judge announced that Dr. Joun W. Ran- hey would be appointed receiver in case it was decided that a receiver was necessary, These plaintiffs offered t withdraw the motion for a receiver, which the com- pany resisted, aud that motion is still pending before Judge Donohue, Subsquently Mr. Sistare, owner of 81x bonds of the first mortgage, commenced an action ‘on his. own behalf, and presses for a foreclosure of the mortgage, alleging that the trustee waa improperly and arly appointed, although he bitself had Joined in the petition to appoint him, and although conceding that Mr. Harlowe is a proper person 10 every other respect. Mr. Sistare also claims that’ the property” 1s | improperly managed and is conducted in the interest of a com- nation of bondholders of this and other companies, d not of the company, and that $50,000 was improp- erly expended in legislation. The company answers to each of the allegations that they have not been guilty of any action by which a foreclosure suit could be com- menced, As to their non-payment of taxes on certain property, that property, it was claimed, was not cov- ered by the mortgage, aud that the action of Mr. Sis- tare is pending in Special Term. ‘There was a Jongshy argument yesterday in the mat- ter before Judge Davis, in Supreme Court, Chambers, in which the various parties in interest ‘were repre- sented by John E. Develin and Messrs. Scribner & Har- rig, Mr. Devlin stated that there were 700 $1,000 bonds issued. The owners of 410 of these bonds, being a ma- jority, favored the retention of Mr. Harlowe as trustee. On un application to Judge Donohue the latter ap- pointea as receiver one of the directors, Dr. Ranney. Judge Davis—Did not the road want doctoring ¥ Mr. Develin—Yes, sir; but not such a doctor. He then went on to state the motion for a receiver was still pending; they did not want a receiver who was averse ‘to them and who would run the road into debt. The majority of the bondholders approved of Mr. Harlowe as trustee, and at all events they did not wish him re- moved trom that position, as any change would be prejudicial to the bondholders and ‘detrimental to the interests of the road, 1t had been charged that $50,000 had been improperly used by the present managers; the truth of this charge he emphatically denied. The railroad company claimed that the mortgage only cov- ered the rails, whereas they contended that it em- braced all the property of the road. Until this prelim- inary point was settled a receiver would not know what Property to take. ‘The plaintiif in the present suit rep- resented only six bonds, against 410 bouds, Mr. Scribner said he did not know how many second mortgage bonds were out, but there was nota large | number of them. The railroad company was the owner of a jcular franchise, and their second mortgage bonds were, issued to enable the company to extend its road. They denied the allegations of es- ranging the property of the road or any malfeasance. Mr. Harris stated that, finding their interests not Properly attended to by the trustee, they came into court to protect themselves, The partic he repre- gented desired the road to be taken out of its present Management and a receiver appointed. The argument, on the whole, was about as conflict ing as are apparently the equities themselves. One de- Bires the removal of the trustee and asks a stay of pro- ceedings on the foreclosure of the mortgages by Mr, Harlowe; another asks that the tru: be retained and the mortgages foreclosed; another strenuously insists ©n an accounting, aud neither particularly opposes the appointment of a receiver, Judge Davis intimated ‘that he thought the litigation ought to be consolidated in some way and that it was evidently a proper case for the appomtinent of a receiver. Having given this in- timation, rather foreshadowing his decision, be took ibe papers for examination. SNOW PLOUGHS AND SWEEPERS. Now that wintry storms and deep falls of snow are im order it has been determined by certain public spirited gentlemen to take time by the forelock and see if something cannot be done through the courts to prevent the city railway companies from using their snow ploughs and sweepers as heretofore, and, although clearing their tracks of snow, obstructing the remainder of the streets by the pties of snow left outside the rails to harden into ice apd form !msuparabie barriers to the passage of vehicles, A test suit has been brought against the Twenty-third Street Railroad Company which js still on trial before Judge Sedg- wick, holding Special Term of the Superior Court. An injunction is asked to prevent the company from leaving snow embankments after clearing heir tracks with snow ploughs and sweepers, The complaint sets forth that the embankments of evow leit on cleaning the railroad tracks are a nuisance suction and render access to the houses by car- riage difficult or impossible. The defence claim that their charter gives them the right to tnake the tracks rears, and they contend that a large Portion of the obstructions are cvused by the people themselves sweeping the snow from off their sidewalks, Dr. Sabin testitied ag to the obstruction and incon- venience caused by the snow embankm-+yts in Twenty- third strect, He admitted, however, on a cross-exami- Baiion, that the snow caused also a Serious obstruction in downtown streets, where there are no rajiroads, and that in winter be has seen piles of snow in Madison and Fifth avenues, und that he aud others find the clear tracks of the Twenty-third Street Railroad very conven. sent for driving over with his carriage in winter. Inspector Thorne, of the Street Cleaning Bureau, who wns called on in behalf of the railroad company, held that the removal of snow from the streets was a work of great difficulty as well as attended with very heavy expense. He bad employed as many as 500 carts at @ fime in this work. It would take at least thirty da: with the present facil! for doing the work ‘to r move the snow from all the city railway tracks; that if there was any considerable fall of snow. the snow embankments left after using the snow plough and Sweepers were an obstruction to travel in the street. | He insisted that In clearing Broadway of snow and ice he found the cleared track of the Twenty-third Street Railroad line very useful in carting the snow and ice to the dumping grounds. ‘The examination is likely to occupy several days, COMMISSIONERS OF JURORS. The prolonged litigation between Douglas Taylor, who claims to be Commissioner of Jurors de jure, and Colonel facto, continues still at attention of Court, ti) & final decision Court of Appeals, to which tribunal it is bound to be carried, no matter which side loses or wins in the lower courts, In fact, this is the present understanding be- ‘tween the litigant parties. The formal trial of the case, being simply usuit by Mr, Taylor for salary, was had yesterday before Judge Van Vorst, bolding Supreme Vourt, Cireuit, The whole question at issue 1s as to the constitutionality of the charter of 1873, under intervals to occupy the the and probably will un. which Mayor Wickham claims the right to appoint a Commissioner of Jurors, and pursuant to which he removed Douglas r and appointed Colonel Dunlap, The evidence submitted had refer- ence to the appointments of the contestants to the office, Mr. Taylor being appointed under the act of 1847, which itis claimed bas pot been Hay oop and Coione! Dunlap, as already stated, receiving his appoint ment under the charter of 1873, It was further shown that since his appointment Colonel Dunlap has dis- charged the duties of the office, The Court directed o verdict in favor of Colonel Dunlap. The next move will be to take the case before the General Term, and thence to the Court of Anpe The probability is that the question will reach a final decision some time next month, EXACTION OF COMMUTATION MONEY. Judge Johnson, in the United States Circuit Court, Equity branch, yesterday rendered a deci: Brothers, agents of the Anchor line of steamships, against William H. Wickham, Mayor of the city of New York, et al,; the Commissionefs of Emigration, James Lyne ciety; Sigismund Kaufman, President of the German Emigrauh Socigyy. ay Ollygre prayimg thal tue laws of | eusued, AB olliger Dunlap, Commissioner of Jurors de | in the case is rendered in the | jon upon the bill in eguity fled inst June by the Henderson President of the Irish Emigrant 8o- the State of New York may be declared uncon- stitutionat so far as ey relate to pas- sengers arriving at this port on the way to others, and woo no intention of becoming citizens of the United States; and praying further for an order de- nying the right of the defendants to collect commuta- tion money on such.

It was claimed ie the defendant's counsel that any such agreement with acity contractor was contrary to public morals, and | therefore that the plaintil was not entitled to recover | anything. Judge Fresdmen changed that the agree- | ment was a private one between the parties, and that the city had nothing whatever to do with it. A verdict ‘was rendered for the plaintiff for $16,464 40, being the } full amount claimed, with interest, | COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS, Before Judge Sutherland. THE WALKER HOMICIDE.

RAILROAD COMPANIES IN COURT. Taxvtow, N. J., Deo. 14, 1875. The argument in the Delaware and Bound Brook Railroad injunction case was resumed in the Court of Chancery this morning by Mr, Abraham Browning, who spoke on bebalf of the railroad company. He said hig clients had the plenary power in both States by concurrent laws to make the bridge and the con- necting link of railroad, They have the right, first, by by the constitution of Pennsylvania to get to the State line, and, secondly, by the General Railroad law of New Jersey to do the same thing, These were concurrent acts. It was for the purpose of uniting the great com- mercial interests of the two States, and it was to the end that the great thorough- fares between the North and South, Kast and West, involving millions of dollars, that these laws were passed; and now we are stopped here on the injuction of the Attorney General—without relators— without verification—that we are interfering with navi- gation on the Delaware River above Scudder’s Falls, where nothing perhaj bat a batean could navigate, and excopt, the Durham boat loaded with whis! an which was no sailboat, This charge he regarded jalsehood. ‘There had been expended on ridge the sum of $336,886, and on the railroad ,500,000, before this information was filed. This was An act of the yrossest injustice, under the plea of pro- tecting the public interests, Ex-Chancellor Williamson followed on the same si He contended that the Court should look at the motive of the enterprise, which was ten times greater than the disadvantage, before it should interfere, Mr. William- son had not concluded when the hour of adjournment arrived, He will occupy the greater portion of to-mor- row, and will be followed by Mr. Couftlandt. Parker on behalf of the State, who will wind up the case, The court room continues crowded every day, The bridge over which the controversy 1s held 1s one of the finest in the country, With the approaches it is 4,000 feet, or three-quarters of amile, long. The river brid, 1,400 feet long. The work is nearly completed—a short span and a small abutment span being all that remains to be fimshed, With good weather it will take about two months more to finish it. The masonry is said to be some of the finest in the country, and itis greatly admired, ‘The United States Circuit Court in this city to-day was engaged in hearing a case in which Samuel A. Allen is plainuil and the Pennsylvania Railroad Company de- fendant, The plaintif sues for $20,000 damages al- leged to have been caused to his property, situated at Bear Swamp, near Lawrence station, on the Pennsyl- vania Railroad, by sparks from the defendant's locomo- tive. Several witnesses were examined. An adjourn- ment took place until to-morrow morning. Mr. Allen conducts his own case and Mr. E, T, Green appears for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.

Power, the clerk of the Marine Court, was one of the members of Joan Kelly’s famous Commit- tee on Discipline. He has held the position of clerk of the Marine Court for about two years. Tho fees of his office amounted to about $12,000 a year, while his salary was only $4,000, Under a provision of the charter he was obliged, previous toedrawing the monthly portion of his salary, to pay to the Comptrolier the amount of fees he had re- ceived during the current month. He failed to do this and some months ago the Comptroller refused to pay him his monthly salary. He made no special remon- strance against this action, as his fees amounted to about three times his ry. The Comptroller, how- ever, called the attent of the Marine Court Judges to the matter, and they soon found, after several meet- ings and the publication of the facts in the Henatp, ‘that, not only was their clerk liable to removal for the course he had taken, but that they were liable to be re- moved and to be made perpetually ineligible to offico unless SMALL THEY IMMEDIATELY EXPELLED HIM from his position. This stirred them up. The Tam- many judges were Alker, Joachimsen, McAdam and Gross ; the other judges were Shea (Chief Justice), and Spaulding. Shea bad been elected mainly through the interest of Mozart Hali; Spaulding had been elected by Apollo Hall. A meeting of all the judges was held yes- terday, The matter was ‘fully — considered, and at half-past four o'clock ~—_yesterday afternoon Maurice J. Power was ~ expelled from the clerkship of the Marine Court, and bya unanimous vote John D. Coughlin, one of the most active of the anti-Tammany orgumizers, was elected to fill the vacancy. Mr. Coughlin will be sworn in this morning and will to-day assume the duties of his now position, He isa journalist, and in the Legislature of 1874 was very prominent, with Hamilton Fish, Jr., and others, in working for the act, which was passed, con- solidating the New York city and county governments, He says that he will be satisfied with his salary of $4,000 a year, and will turn in his fees to the city treasury. THE NEW COURT ROOM. A meeting will be held to-day at two P. M., in room No. 8, City Hall, by the County Committee of the Board of Supervisors, for the purpose of deciding the location of the new court room to be assigned to the useof the new Court of General Sessions. Recorder Hackett Indge Sutherland, District Attorney Phelps and Colonel Gildersieeve, the hewly elected Sessions Judge, will be | present. SHALL DOLAN HANG? ANOTHER APPEAL, BASED UPON NEW EVIDENCE, TO BE MADE TO THE GOVERNOR. The counsel for John Dolan are working steadily and persistently to effect a change in his prospects, and the indications are that Governor Tilden will be over- whelmed with tho voluminous testimony that has been secured and is to accompany the next application to be made to him, It was intended to bring the mat- ter to the official notice of the Governor again to-day in the form of an application for a commutation of the sentence to Imprisonment for life, the counsel contend- ing that if such commutation be granted it will give them greater time {n which to adduce additional evi- dence for their client and will enaole them, eventually, to prove conclusively his entire innocence of the seri: ous charge of which he stands convicted. The chances are, however, that the Governor will refuse all furthor aid to the counsel and that Dolan will hang with the three negroes on Friday next. ‘The following is the latest evidence got by counsel— an affidavit made by Annie Dolan, sister of the pris- oner:— 1, Annie Dolan, do depose and say:—I reside at No. 93 Baxter street, in the city of New York, and am the sister of Jobn Dolan; 1 remember the 22d day of Au- gust, 1875, by reason of the fact that the Saturday night revious I went to confession at the Church of the ranstiguration, in Mott strect, and the following morn- ing (Sunday, August 22d) I went to communion service at the same church. On that morning, after I had re- turned from church and after I had attended early mass, which took place at seven o'clock, my brother, John’ Dolan, came into the house. When he entered it must have been between eight and nine o’clc John’s request I handed him clean underclothin his clean linen shirt, He left the house at nine o'clock, saying he would return m the evening, He returned about supper time aud remained at home the rest of the night. ‘Anotber affidavit, made by Catherine Dolan, mother of the condemned man, certifies that on the morning of the murder of Mr. Noe she met her son in Bayard street At about a quarter past nine, and she remonstrated with him for being in an intoxicated condition, John said he had just left the house and was on his way to spend the day in Forsyth street, It must appear singular that such important evidence ‘as the above, proving an alibi, was not produced on the trial, when it would have done the most good, Dolan passes bis time quietly in the Tombs with his fellow murderers. Quite a sentiment of cordiality has ‘sprung up between him and the negroes. Staudermann keeps to himself altogether and is seldom observable, To-morrow the old gallows will again be joined to- getber and resome its place in the screened yard on ‘the Elm street side, PARIS GREEN, John Hagan endeavored to put an end to his earthly existence yesterday by swallowing a large dose of Paris green, He was sent to Beilevue Hospital. He has boen out of employment for several months and jg without home or inienda | in the 76tb THE PAVEMENT OF STREETS. To tue Epiror oy tae Herap Noticing your article in to-day’s Heratp on “Oar Avenue,” I desire to say that the subject of street paving bas been to mea matter of much thought for many years. 1 have tried every known method, ancient or modern, in my practice. The muddy con- dition of Broadway last week reopened the subject to me, and your article pf this moruing has burried me up in some ideas 1 was testing. I find the paving of the Streets has been a cause of much anxiety and a terrible tax throughout the civilized world, Within a few months a scientific and practical committee has had the matter before them in England, notably about the streets of London, and reported lately quite fully and elaborately, Although I agree with you that an excel- lent macadamized, or rather improved Telford pavement, isone of the very best, yet it has its failings, aud was so adjudged by this committee, The flinty dust arisin; from the abrasion of the particles ‘was found to te deleterious to health and destructive to Property, both real and personal, by its lodgement, &c. Now, what is tobedone? Weare inaquandary, We all desire to have good roads and clean streets, and we desire to pre- serve our temper, our health and our comfort. jo we from any source improve on our present knowledge? Let us try. By dint of energy, research and persever- anco something may be done. Within the past itty years what havo we not accomplished? ‘The question of paving the Fifth avenue (I thought it had its quietus) being much mooted last winter, my attention was called to it, and it was suggested that endeavor to develop a plan. I think I can safely say that I have matured a plan which may be universally adopted, and which, carried honestly into execution, will make one of the best pavements extant. I know that it will meet all the objections presented by tho English commission. I do not wish to appear egotistical nor to be particularly philanthropic, Such as itis lam wee to present, without money and without price, to the owners of Fifth avenue—this plan to pave their avenue under honest contracts and super- intendence—and will assist inthe development of the work if required. The plan is pot patented; if there are any such rights in it Iam fairly entitled to them, m for something which may be for the public good. 1 may receive credit or profit hereafter if it is a suc- cess, know it must be, For three months I have been patiently waiting for portions of prepared ma- terial to explain this work, and now it will be ready this week, so that I can show a sample of this work. If 1 am not deceived this will make a pavement which 4s unequalled in the world, Kenan toga $3 to $6 per square yard, and so simple as to understood by any tyro and easily judged. It is not all new, being ase- jection and combination of various well known and re- hable pavements used for thousands of years, As Iam not seeking a contract nor to ‘gull’ the public for pelf, Lhope the proper courtesy may be granted, so byi4 ae bl Mg 4 pb oe ee hed” nor killed it is found worthy, Respect yours, th seh DERROM, Architectural and Sanitary Engineer. New Yor, Dec. 13, 1875. IMPROVEMENT OF FIFTH AVENUE. New York, Deo, 13, 1875. To Tux Epiror ov tHe HeraLp:— ‘The repeated efforts of your very valuable journal to have Fifth avenue property repaved and your recom- mendations in regard to the different roads through Centrai Park should receive the praise of every tax- payer in the city. A visit to the upper end of the Park a few days since led me to mentally ask why there had been no drive constructed that emerged at the corner of 110th street and Fifth avenue. Your efforts to have that avenue repaved will certainly be rewarded (as the Hexavp never fails in its undertakings), which will then make it the great central drive for all classes of people. It would be very easy for the Park Commis- sioners to continue the road which follows so closely to that avenue from a point a short distance south of Mount St. Vincent, so that it would leave the Park at its northeasterly corner, which could be beau- tified in a short time similar to the entrance at Fitty- ninth street. By looking at tho sopoarayny of the Park in that vicinity such a road could easily be made at very little cost, and would be of very easy grade, thus avoidimg the very steep and tortuous bill leading into Sixth avenue. A portion of this drive would meander around the shores of the beautifal lake, just east of Mount St. Vincent, while its proximity (0 and its exit upon Fifth avenue cannot fail to make it very attractive, Your efforts in the past to have the different parks and avenues of our city made more attractive leads me to address you with the foregoing suggestion to the Park Commissioners, which, I think, they will adopt, and give the public ah entratie from ‘the upper end ot the Park into what the Heravp so justly claims is the Champs Elysées of New York city. ‘AXPAYER, DETERMINED TO DIE. Stanislaw Schwarski, a Polish tailor, living at No. 102 Cannon street, attempted to commit suicide yester- day morning by cutting his throat and shooting himself in tho breast. He was removed to Bellevue Hospital. But little hopes are entertained of his ultimate recov- ery. This is the second attempt Schwarski has mado to destroy himself, having been discharged from the hospital but a few days ago. SMALLPOX IN JERSEY. ‘This malady is spreading from Jersey City to Bay- onne, where the first case was reported yesterday. One thing very striking about the march of this disease, for ears, 18, that it invariably breaks out in the centre of Hudson county and moves southward to Bergen Point It seldom travels north of Union Hill. Nota single case is reported in the vicinity of the northern boun- dary of the county. MARRIAGES AND DEATHS, BIRTHS.
