8 “NO SEAT NO PARE| “Cross-Town” Carey and His Attempts at Lob- bying Against the Killian Bill. THE BANANA LOBBYIST SNUBBED. A Sketch of Carey’s Previous Ad- ventures in Albany. MR. BERGH'S REMEDY FOR OVERCROWDING. The Bill Before the Committee on Cities To-Day, Aunany, Feb. 15, 1876. Tho friends of the city horse car companies are open in their threats to trouble the ‘no seat, no fare’? bill, and even the lobby are beginning to show their hands. Crogs-town Carey is in town, and early this forenoon he began in the hotel vestibule to buttonhole Senators about the Killian bill, In the hearing of your corres- pondent he began to ply his arguments against tho bill with Senator Wagner, who seemed anxious to throw him off, but who did not appear when at the ‘capital to be very anxious to keep Carey at a distance, for he was seen chatting with him outside the railing im the Assembly while the House was in session, and ‘the two left together, The fact that Mr, Wanger is very friendly naturally to the Vanderbilt interest, and that the Foarth Avenue Railroad, controlled by Vanderbilt, is not over desirous to have the Killian bill passed, may have had nothing to do with it Carey, after his arrival in the cap- ital, with = bis-—susual_—brassinoss, took seat within the railing and deliberately sat down at the clerk’s private desk to write a letter, He gota hint from somebody after the session began and went outside the railing, taking care to seat himself at the gateway so that he could do a little buzzing as each Senator put in an appearance. His next step was to go to the Assembly Chamber, where, after considerable mancuvripg, he secured a seat inside the railing witbout a pass from the Speaker, where he had an animated chat with Mr. West, Chairman of the Railroad Committee for over half an hour. Carey isa very insignificant feliow in himself, even as a lobbyist, but be no doubt will do the bidding of other men higher upon the lobby scale ifhe gets a proper return. He ever was of much account even with the purchaseable members in years past, and his chief staple was “chin,” to quote theirown way of puttingit, “He has’a great weakness for the Senate, and won for himself the Utle of “the banana lobbyist,”’ from the fact that he was remarkable in sending bananas and other fruit to the Senators’ wives, to influence the votes of their husbands, But the present Senate is not of the fruity kind, and if Carey's presence here is prompted by nothing more than his determination to protect his cross town road, with his cheek and talk as his only support, he will come to grief If he is in the pay of the big lobby a week or 80 will develop the fact. However, they generally employ men who do more effective work and Tess bluster than Carey can do, and he may, after all, be in the service of the railroad companies “chief chin- ner,” as the lobby calls it But such a miserable ob- Stacle in the Way a8 “the banana lobbyist” ought not to be injarious to the Killian bill, if its friends keep their eyes open. A hearing on the bill will be given belore the Committee on Cities to-morrow, at half past three o'clock. SHE CITY RAILROAD LoBRY—‘‘cROss TowN’”’ DESCRIRED BY A LO“BYIST, A lobbyist at Albany during legislative sossions is a mystery, Although recognized as one of the individ- uals wlio dispenses what has been vulgarly called “tho doodle to the boys,” his exact movements In that di- Fection are scarcely ever detailed. The trail of this | serpentine individual is difficult to trace. He is pointed out at the Capitol, the Delavan House and Congress Hutl—the three great centres of political CAREY turmoil in Albany—as one of the mysterious ring who carry im their pockets the coin which purchases manhood and honor of legislators. His walk, attitude, — conversation, habits and associates are matters of careful study, His plethoric pocketbook commands far more influence anu consideration than the wise discipline of party or the solemn obligations of oaths and duty. One of the men recognized at Albany for a long num- der of years in this connection is “Cross town Carey.”? He made his appearance among the legisiators some ten years ago. His début 1s said to have gained for him the distinguished sobriquet of ‘Cross town,” He had on the brain for years a proposition to build some railroad across the centre of the city, At length | ho succoeded in procuring a franchise. fc 1s now one | of the prmcipal stockholders in the cross town line, which runs from the Christopher street ferry to the Twenty-third street ferry, through East Seventeenth | and Eighteenth streets aud West Eleventh and Four. teenth streets, ALBANY OPERATIONS. i Mr. Carey ig aman of about forty-five years of age, medium height, compact build, and considerable vi bility in conversation. He almost invariably wears a | white necktie while around the sanctified halls of the Legislature, If it is true that he bas been sent up the river in the interests of city railroad companies to defeat the “no seat no fare” bill, be occupies a far more important position in the lobby than has | Litherto fallen to his lot | AN INTERVIEW WITH A LOnBYIST, One of the “Third House” remarked as follows to | the HekaLp representative yesterday, when que: tioned relative to the professional status of Carey : “There ain't nothing about him. He has always been small operator, I know one or two instances where he gave the boys a clean shake. He may have been sold out himself, and that ts some excuse. But there lies part of the programme, arranged by some of the lobby to throw dust in the eyes of members and pocket the hon’s share of the protits themselves, Carey has been what you may call ‘an originator.’ He goes to Albany froin this city with schemes which are sup- posed to be in the interests of some one or another, I am told that several inducements have been held out to certain gentiemen in Wall Bireet to embark in these schemes, and they were sold out Since then they do not feel quite so — with the lobby. Their Ongers have been urned in Albany fires. Whether ‘Crosstown Carey’ has been ‘ally instramental in this iandatite deter- mination | am not at Nberty to state just at presen. | have been told, however, on good authority that such js the case, A ramble among the brokers in Wall Street might develop some peculiar stories relative to the operations of Mr. Carey in this connection. Then ‘Jake’ Sharpe, President of the Christopher Ferry and Tenth Street line, might tell you a good deal about Carey, if he couk! be induced to divulge a litte private history. He may have an interest in other roads.” “What do you mean by interest?” queried the | Hignaco representative “Well, | presume he holds stock, and if he does not some of his friends are in the pool. Then, if he oper- | ated for the advantage of these roads in Albany he did not work for nothing. Men of his clase do not goner- | ally hang around the balls of Jegisiation in support of | certain imterests without being well paid for their trouble” “Can you mention some of his operations and tho | amounts of money received?” “Well, that would be a pretty diMenlt question to ‘answer, unless the pass was sold by some the lobby themselves. Should Mr. Strahan’ persist in his on- Slaughte on the Third House’ we may be abie to get ut the bottom"facta,of those transactions.’” “Does A. D. r ever operate through a man like Carey?” “Never. Ho is much too small a game for him to Dotber with. He may do very well to dance around in small specutations of bis own, but Barber works through other channels. * CAREY UNDER THE TWEED REGIME “While the Tweed ring ruled with iron sway at Albany Carey did not have an earthly show. Ho was looked apon by the members of thas historic coalition an individual not worth while bothering with. Tweed | did not fancy the exaberant and fippant ‘crosstown’’ | advocate. He came and went without any partic motice being taken of him. With his white necktie he flourished around the Senate and Assembly chambers and handed seate to the lady visitors, He is a man of tremendous “check’’—a very useful element for an Albany lobbyist. Then, again, he is said to possess a jeal of natural tact ak an observer ot legislators, hether they are purcbasable, and what may be tho | exact amount necessary for the purchase As arule heretofore established Country members, in a ‘com. mercial’ sense, can be bought over for one-tenth of the | amount paid to city legislators They will grab at a $10 Dill’ when the metropolitan dignitary cannot be induced to support a certain ‘Measure cules he is paid ten times the amount, Pro. fessor Carey is supposed understand this doctrine perfectly. He will save money tor the raiiroat com- jes should they succeed in buying over enongh | votes to kill the ‘NoSeats No Fares’ bill, In that sense be mast prove a useful man. Otherwise, those who know him best say, in the language of the political poet, ‘he does not amount to shucks’ It might be | well for the gentleman and his con/réres of the lobby at | Albany to know that the eyes of 1,000,000 people in | N ork city, interested in proper railroad locomo- are centred upon them particularly at the present me,” | TwEnty-sRcoND STRERT, Feb. 15, em To tne Eniron ov the Heratn;— As you bave repeatedly, of late, alluded to the society which I represent in your praiseworthy efforts to reform the street car nuisanve I beg you w allow me to give utterance to a few A SPICY LETTER FROM MR. BERGH. AMERICAN SoctETY PoR THR PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS, Fourti AVENUE, CORNER oF | | reflections on the subject, That the present system, if there be any, of trans. porting atimals about this city i ope of the most Mbmoras avd disgustiue features of metropolitan And it is equaliy certain that the public, and some- times the press, are active accomplices in the scandal. But let that pass, the thing all decent and even in- decent people now say they want is a seat for the money they pay, The question is, therefore, how can they obtain it? The Killian bill kills all hope in that direction, for how is @ broad-shouidered man or a broad-hipped woman to sit on ‘fourteen inches” of space? I saw Mr. George Law, owner of the Eighth avenue line, try hard fo sit on a two tect space theother day, and he could not. I have also tried to get along with twenty inches, not too much, especially when a fat “lady” was sitting next me with a large feather bed in her arme, and on the other side another “lady”? with @ large busket of soiled clothes; a spectacle which our car masters provide us daily. Do the public really want this abomination reformed? 1 wish you were able to satisfy me on that point. If they absolutely do, why have they endured it so long, and why have they growled, and why has the press shown its teeth whenever the officers of this society have interposed to abate it? Cattle, thanks to our exertions in Congress, are about to get comfortable transportation on railways. Why should we not? Are we of less value than Texan steers? I do not mean in an alimentary point of view; for lam willing to con- cede that the human steak is inferior, let Fiji Islanders say what they will That our masters regard us in the light of cattle was exemplified to me this morning, while riding down in a Fourth avenue car, the roof of which leaked, Calling the atvention of our keeper— the conductor—to the fact, what do you think the monster said? Why this:—‘I know it as well as you do; but oar Commodore is im the habit of watering his stock.”? You suggest that the fines for not providing pedes- trians with seats shall accrue to this society, to be re- covered by acivil suit. Iam greatly obliged, but wo are all the while prosccuting as many cases as wo can find time for, Now, if you will make it a misdemeanor and give us the power to arrest the President and Superintendent of the road, then there will speedily be relief, without suits, either civil or uncivil. The cars new in use should as fast as they wear out be replaced by Ngnt, narrow, double decked ones, such as I could suggest, were I permitted, and licensed to carry forty-two seated persons, exelusive of ariver and conductor. The platforms should be abolished, As to fourteen inches affording ample room for an adult to sit let Mr, Killian go to the Eagle Theatre, in Sixth ave- nue, and sit through a performance there, and if he doos not come away a wiser, if not a better man, I am mistaken. ‘The following bill has been prepared by Mr. Gerry, the counsel of this society, which I beg leave to send you, with the request that you will publish it entire and urge its passage.

Yours truly, JAMES H. HICHBORN STREET CAR LICENSES, INTERVIEW WITH MR. BUTLER, PRESIDENT OF THE SIXTH AVENUE ROAD. In relation to the “derelict car corporations” Mr, Butler, the President of the Sixth avenue road, was seen yesterday by a Hxxaup reporter. Mr. Butler, after some general condemnation of the assault on the alleged abuses, or more properly speakiug, shorteom- ings of the lines, spoke more particularly of his own road and referred to the question of overcrowding cars In the first place he remarked that tt was the cus” tom of his company to pay licenses for each car actually employed in the transfer of passengers np and down town daily throughout the year, reserving for themselves the right to keep in the depot vehicles | for the relief of wornout or injured cars, In com- pliance with the ordinance licenses nave always, said, been paid on the cars in use at the rate of $50 for each per annum; but those laid by for relief, and ‘only used when one of the former had to be taken off, were not paid for, because they never were put on unless some others were withdrawn. Here, then, is the trouble. The company bas been published as derelict and owing the city arrears of license dues amounting in the aggregate to $12,160. This sum, Mr. | Butler said, was clarmed as being due for licenses on | the cars in reserve during the last mine or ten years and never really engaged on extra routes. The com pany did not feel that the claim was a just one, and will | ot pay it if it can possibly avoid it, the custom and | right being to pay only ob the conveyances reaily in use, and these never exceeded a certain number. SEATS AND PARES. With regard to the efforts being made to give seats to all who paid fares, or as it is now better known, “No seat no fare’? movement, Mr, Butler stated that there was no sense in them, It would be ridiculous to attempt the enforce- ment of any such law, for morning and evening, not- wivhstending the extra'cars run for the trat of the business population up and down town, the passenge: came in such numbers and were so unwilling to wait that it was impossible to prevent them from crowding the cara. Then, too, it should be remembered that the bulk of the traffic was done at this period of the day, and that at all other times there were usually plenty of Seats for those who wanted them, In further support of his theory Mr. Butler adduced facts taken trom ® careful computation made by the officers of the com- pany founded on the hypothesis that every seat in ail the cars daily should be oecupied and paid for. The result was a snowing, which indicated that under these most favorable circumstances the eompany would los over $70,000 8 year. The President’s great point was, however, that even though the law were onacted, the | pubhe would violate it, despite the most strenuous efforts of the best intentioned conductors. At morn- ing and evening those who bad to go up and down town to and from work would get on bourd the care and crowd them. WEAKENING AN OFFICIAL'S HANDS. A great effort is being made in Trenton to have tho | law reiating to the Board of Freeholders so amended that the director at large in Hudson county—the only officer of that class in the State—shall be legislated out of office, and that the people may have an opportunity at the spring election to pronounce a verdict on the extraordinary transactions of the past few monthe in that county, Ab influential committee of the Hudson county treeholders was Trentou yesterday urging ihe adoption of the pew measure be | RAPID TRANSIT. SECOND DAY’S PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMIS- SION IN THE ELEVATED RAILLOAD. The commission in the matter of the New York Fievated Railroad met yesterday morning m the old Aldermanic Chamber, City Hall, at half-past eleven o'clock, The principal business before the commission was to hear such objections to the construction of the projected road as property owners along the line might see fit to advance, Mr. John H. Parsons, who appeared as counsel for the Third avenue property owners, spoke to the ques- tion of admitting oral testimony in favor of rapid transit; he would require time to produce witnesses on his side of the matter. He should not be limited to next Saturday, for the question is one of much im- Portance as between those who object to and those who favor the construction of an elevated road on Third avenue, Vast property intercsts are at stake, and those whom he represents ought not be tied down toaday’s time in rebutting such testimony as might be set forth by parties favoring the construc- tion of the road. It is only reasonable to expect that leave should be granted to cross-examine persons who might appear to testify orally in favor ot the construction of these roads. If the Commissioners have power to receive written affidavits they could cer- tainly only examine orally. Again, objectors to the road have made application to be shown a description of the railway which is intended to be built, but have thus far not received the required information, and he asked that full time be given to the objectors, Mr. Vandenburgh, in representing tho Underground Railroad Company, said that he coincided with the re- marks of Mr. Parsons, and urged that the commission whould not limit so strictly the time of the hearing. When the Sapreme Court nominated this commission ample powers were conferred upon it, This commis- sion 1s an open body, where a hearing could be pub- | licly had; but the last Rapid Transit Commission was a@ | Star Chamber. Ex.Judge Emott, on behalf of the proposed elevated road, thought that the commission had no power whatever to compel the attendance of witnesses or administer ouths. Even if it accepts the sugges- tion of Mr. Parsons, to have witnesses sworn by 4 no- tary, such testimony would then only be aifidavits, and the commission, not being a court, could not go into the form of a trial by taking testimony. President Palmer concluded that the commission had NO COMMON LAW POWERS and could not overstep the limits of the statute in virtue of which it was appointed, It could take affidavits, but could not proceed with the oral hearing of witnesses, | Ex-Judge Emott said that since he came into the Chamber a number of petitions from property owners along the route had been placed m his hands, One was from William Kennedy and 600 others, all of Whom are in favor of the road, Another was from the Produce Exchange, in their aggregate eapacity as a body, and in their individual characters as property holders along the line of the proposed elevated railroad, A third was from Thomas Fay Townsend and 600 others, residents of the west side of the city. A fourth bore the signatures of Brooks Brothers & Co, Eugene Kelly, Babcock & Co, and many others, who State that they own property to the amount of $10,000,000 on the'streets and avenues where it is proposed to build the new rapid transit roads, He also submitted two long petitions from parties holding property on Third avenue alone, ASKING FOR RAVID TRANSIT, Mr, Parsons asked ‘nis learned friend” if these par- ties were property holders or tenants only? Ex-Judge Emott delieved his “learned {riend”” would | recognize the Kheinlander estate on Third avenue as worth something. The second petition was from B, E. Wandell, who owns $100,000 worth of real estate on Third avenue. The ailidavit of a man was read who | bad canvassed the occupants of stores and residences | on Third avenue from 100th to 180th streets, and these | were all in favor of rapid transit on that avenue, if in the centre of the street, but opposed to it if placed near the sidewalks, Eq-Judge Emott assured Mr. Parsons that the road would be built in the centre of the avenues and streets when this could be practicable, ‘The Commission now, at a quarter past one o'clock, took a recess until two o'clock. APTER RECESS, Mr, Vandenburgh, who, during the morning session, had occupied the attention of the Commissioners in an attempt to prove that New York doves not Leed rapid tran- | sit, or, if she does, that horse cars are the proper things | to use, and that elevated steam lines are an annoyance | anda nuisance generally to the places along which | they pass, gave way now to Ex-Judge Emott, who said thai he had additional papers to present in the case, Mr. Church said that a committeo of flve from the | Board of American Engineers bad issued 1,500 circulars | to property owners along the line of the Greenwich | street road, which circulars had simple forms wherein | property owners could note’ their objections to the ele: vated road. Only seventy persons of the 1,500 who had Tecetwed the circulars tlougtit their objections strong enough to warranta reply to the Committee of Engi- neers, | Mr. Martin obtained a hearing to set ferth objections | to the construction of an elevated railroad from Coen- | ties slip to Chatham square, He presented an affidavit tm extenso from Mr. Allen J, Cummings and others. According to the showing of these parties, Pearl street | and other parts of the route which the line must tra- Verse, 18 too narrow; the road would deprive the lower | stories of their light, and whether built on the side- | walk or in the middle of the street must impede traffic, and, therefore, damage the property. Mr. Martin did not see the use of destroying the lower part of the city by the erection of these elevated roads for the purpose of erecting a new city in Westchester county; for that would be the effect of the construction of such roads. Ex-Judge Emott read an ailidavit from Mr. Lewis G. Morris. He favored the construction of the Pearl strect elevated railroad, and endeavored to show that so far from depreciating downtown property, these rapid transit lives would enhance it, because they would facilitate transportation and communication with much roater ease and cheaper than at present. Ex-Judge smott submitted an affidavit of @ similar nature to the ‘one above, signed by Lewis H, Fielda Ex-Judge Emott said at present the Elevated Railroad Company which he represents could not say just what nature of lines aud buildings the company would finally put up, bat he would state that they did not intend to erect @ sidewalk road ou any part of the way along Pearl sureet, Commizgioner Palmer announced that ho and his colleagues were ready to hear objectors to the con- struction af an elevated road from Chatham square to Third avenue Several gentlemen, whose names did Dot transpire, arose to make objections of a similar natare to those already put on record by objectors who had formerly given their evidence. Mr. 8 @. Haines thought that the contemplated plan of stretching girders across the strect would never do, as, among other mconveniences, it weuld greatly darken the road- way and sireet. The Commissioners now announce their readiness to | hear parties interested in the construction of tho | fourth division of the line; that running between lower | Third avenae and Harlem bridge. Kx-Judge Emott submitted an affidavit favoring the or of this line, and signed py Dominick } Smitl fhe proceedings were adjourned at three o'clock until eleven this morning.

The services held during yesterday were almost as well attended as usual, although the Weather was go inelement, Tho evening meeting in the Madison avenue hall was as crowded as it could be. The overflow meeting filled the chapel, and to both of the later meetings largo numbers remained. Allthe ministers present found ample employment in the inquiry rooms. Mr, Moody’s preaching was very effective, CHAPEL MEETING, Owing to the unpleasant weather yesterday morning only the body of the chapel was filled, Among the ministers on the platform were Rev. George H. Hop- worth, Rey, M. Arnold, Dr. Kennard, Rev. Mr. King, Rev. Mr. Hollis, Rey. Mr.McAllister, Rev. Mr. Rogers, Rev, Mr. Lightbourn, Rev, Or, White and Dr. Ander- son. After singing the 77th hymn, “Sweet Hour of Prayer,”’ Mr, Moody asked that the congregation pray silently while the bequests for supplications were said, which were numerous and of the usually divMsifiea character, ‘Revive Us Again’’ was sung, after which Mr. Moody began his address on ‘The Condition of Prevailing Prayer.”” He read from the ninth chapter of Daniel, and continued :—A great deal of the praying is done for others, but when we are in the right posi- tion with God, we must not talk about the sing of others so much as our own, It is when we confess our own sins, that we have power with God, When we are in the dust before God, confessing our sins, God hears our prayers. What we want is to get home to confessing our sins. We ought to know ourselves better than other people, If anything goes wrong, confess it, and our sins shall be blotted out; and if we would walk with God, what power we would have in this city, These uncoufessed sins keep us from God's blessing. We don’t knaw what fulness of the spirit is, Very few of us are full, and yet it is the privilege of all With our hearts full of the Holy Spirit we will know how to preach and pray. We want Holy Ghost power. We must contess our sins to God, All sins are against God, and must be confessed to Him. It is alone with God that we must settle this, Mr. Sankey sang the 6lst hymn as a solo, “Go Bury Thy Sorrow.” WOMEN’S MEETING. Immediately after the prayer meeting the women’s mecting was held, several hundred remaining, The gentlemen quickly and quietly left the room in the possession of the ladies, not even Mr. Moody remain- ing. The meeting was entirely in the charge of ladies. Mrs Wright presided. After smging the third hymn the extreises of the hour proceeded, consisting of praying, reading the Seriptures and singing and a few addresses by the ladies. BVENING SERVICES, The large hal! was filled at twenty minutes of Nat aba and the time was occupied by the singing of sever: hymns by the choir. Mr. Moody came im at three Minutes of eight, accompanied by Drs. Adams and Taylor. He opened the meeting by calling for the sing- ing of the 116th hymn, “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing.” Mr. Moody began his address:—I want to call your attention to aclause in the chapter (Romans, in.) T have read, “For there is no difference.” Now, thia is one of the portions of Scripture that the natural man don’t like. Il bave bad many quarrels on this verse, Decanse we are apt to think that we aro a little better than our neighbor, and don’t like to feel that there is no difference. ave ail sinned. T have pot much hope of a man’s salvation until he 1s convinced of his sin, and it 1s because the natural man don’t like this text that [ have taken it to-night I can imagine some saying, ‘I don’t believe that there {s no difference. 1s it not better to be sober than a drunk- ard? Is it not better to be honest than dishonest?” Yes; I will admit all that, and yet, when we come to the question of salvation, fa man has not been saved from his sin he will PERISH LIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD. If men want to find in what state as! are let them turn to the third chapter of Romans. If you want to read your biography, you need not get any one to write it. He can read itin this third chapter: ‘The heart is deceitful and desperately wicked.” Now, Satan either makes men believe that he is good enough, or | else if he cannot make them believe that lie he tells them, that God is a bad God, The people who are try- ing to save themselves by the law are making the grandest mistake of their lives. Was there ever a man who kept it butthe Son of God? The law was never given for man to be saved by. It was given to show man his lost condition. A man must gee that he 18 a | sinner. The law is periect, but we are not perfect, What if a man should come to New York and advertuse that he could take r PHOTOGRAPHS OF PEOPLE'S NRAKTS. Do you think be would find a customer in all New York? We have our photographs of our taces im all positions, and if the artist flatters, you say, ‘Yes, it is a correct likeness,’? and you are glad tojshow it to your friends, But suppose the art st should get a photo- graph of the true man, of his heart, do you think ho would pase it around among his friends? The heart is a foundation of violence and corruption and pgm, and there 1s no hope tlla man finds that he is bad. ‘The law is given to show men their lost and ruined condition, The Son of Man came to sa men, My friends, cease this effort; come to ‘the fountain ‘that washes all sin’ away. If you measure yourself by the law to-night you will see that you need a Saviour. © sinners, make haste to-night!’ Flee for your lives! Escape from sin! You can be saved this very night if you will!

The work, though written in a style almost Spartan for its sobriety and without any attempts at literary display, contains much ‘that is caiculated to create a profound sensation. Con- versant for many years with crime and criminals as a city detective, understanding the modus operandi of purglars, Bhoplifters, confidence people, pickpockets and others who regard society as their legitimate prey, Mr. Farley bas had perhaps a better opportunity odd any other detective officer in the country for accumu- lating that peculiar knowledge and experience maui- fested in this work. While giving the methods by which the various classes of criminals work, trom the than who enters the house at night to the confidence man who allures and robs the confiding rustic or unsus- pecting gentleman from the country, many stories full of romance and interest are related, leading the reader from page to page with an attention almost equal to tbat imposed by Ainsworth’s stories of Turpin. The information is valuable also, on tage to those living i eighborhoods infested with bad characters. At ay alternate page appears the pl raph of somo noted criminal, taken from the ‘Rogues’ Gallery,” em- bracing characters from every part of the world. BROOKLYN FINANCES.

A QUESTION FOR INSURANCE COM- PANIES. Parexson, N. J., Feb. 14, 1876, To Tux Eprror or Tux Henacp;— Allow me to make a suggestion through the medium of your paper in relation to the loss of life that has taken place at tho late fire on Broadway, of your city. Who are the parties most concernea in the josses ata fire? 1 may be tm the wrong. but I am con- vinced it is the insurance com) as it was only from the superhuman exertions of the Fire rt mont that the fire fiend was stayed and thus saved tho different insurance companies from utter rum. At What a cost was this saved? Three young men in the prime of life, without one moment's warning hurled into eternity and their families left to the cold mercies of an uncharitable world, Would it not be well for the different insurance companies to subscribe to a general fund each year and the interest to be divided among the families of the firemen who lose their lives while in discharge of their duties? The above can be done, and i remains to be seen who or what company will start the ballin motion, Yours, traty, PATERSON, MARRIAGES AND DEATHS, MARRIED, Nicnows—Hatr.—On Tuesday, February 15, at the residence of the bride’s parents, by the Rev.
