THE CALIF QRNIA RACE. The Four-Mile-Heat Event To Bé * Decided To-Day. atk A LONG DELAYED CONTEST. * Probable Starters, Their Pedigrees and Performances. At last there is a probability that the $30,000 four- mile-heat race will be decided to-day in San Francisco, ever the Bay District Course. The disappointments — fmcident to this event have been many, and were shared alike by turfmen in California and New York, Had the contest taken place on the 13th of November last, as originally set down, it would have resulted in & grand struggle, as the most renowned four-milers of the Continent were among the entries. Efforts had been made by the Pacific Jockey Club to have such a fleld represented on the track that day as to eclipse all Previous attempts made by Californians in this direc- tion, and there was every reason to believe that had the weather not interfered their most sanguine expec tations would have been realized. But the rain storms et that time disarranged all the plans consummated, and, finally, caused the event to be declared off by the lub—a necessity under the circumstances then ex- isting. There bad been trained and were fit to ron at the date first set down for the race eight horses, those embracing Rutberfurd, Springbek, Wildidle, Grin- stead, Revenue, Jr.; Chance, Hock Hocking and Fannie Hall Four of them had the most creditable records, but the others were well thought of; and not a few—remembering the ‘‘giorious uncertainties of the turt?—hoped for a new surprise by victory perching upon she colors of one of the home representatives, BETTING ON THR RACK, Specuiation waxed intense upon the result. In San Francisco alone over $300,000 were in the pool boxes ‘up to the Lith of November, two days before the race. Of course the prices obtained for choices then greatly fluctuated, but one pool, sold by the regnlar auctioneer of the Pacific Jockey Club at its rooms, was as follows:— Rutberfard, $1,025; Springbok, $825; Wildidle, $160; field, $180. There were indications of favorable ‘weather up to the last moment; but then one of those prolonged and severe rain storms incident to that mented with others, until the result as referred to, As ‘with the Catfornia tarfmen so with those in New York. ‘The race was to take place just at that time when the betting fraternity of this section of the country were “lying on their oars,” or, in other words, had gothing to occupy their minds or no opportunities to invest their superfluous cash. Thus it was heartily welcomed. They flocked to the peol marts of this city, and night after night risked their money with the same freedom as is their custom ‘to invest it upon the big events at Jerome Park. e distance of 3,000 miles made no difference to them. Some of the horses were from the East, and upon these their faith was pinned.

The rain storm had been so violent that the track was unfit for running. Pool selling here at once stopped upon re- ceipt of this announcement. Then, on the 16th of the month, @ second telegram brought the comforting in- telligence that the “race would come off on the 20th (Satarday), if the track and weather per- | mitied.”” The "weather was not favorable, as e storm: contin’ and, fact, increased tm severity, to rer extent that the telegraph wires wore blown dowa for miles, and for days the New York turfmen were in darkness relative to what bad meanwhile transpired in San Francisca Numer- ous attempts were made by the more anxious of these w Private mi over the lines, but they failed and were sorely troubled as to the wibility of the race baving been run, Ali this time ‘the pool sellers here retained tae money d ited with them, although many of the buyers used very harsh language against the decision ‘that all pools must follow claiming tbat it was not honor- ‘able thus to jeopordize a man’s money when the con- Gitions were entirely changed by tho repeated post- ponements, Stil) es etuck to the cash, bat when, 8 day or two later, a despatch was received over the Atlantic and Pacific lines that the race would bo run on Day, - November there littie satisiaction hat was some ex u wanted their Mt woulda yore DP Sue: bi Serer money, not in the pool boxes, but in their pock- bad ag the sellers still refused there was “loud ”? and that ‘right out in church.’’ The sporting at last took hold of the matter and vehemently ced the sellers {or their stubborness, saying that by the piain, equitable principles of racing and selling, each person who had shit pools had a right to his money back forthwith. few hard knocks similar to this and the pool sellers succombed.

POLHEMUS O¥ TEN THOUSAND DOLLABS. Mrs, Aun Pojivemmas is an eccentric widow lady, seventy es THES, who resides at No, 687 Bast 117th street, ithout immediate relatives, and with but few friends, she has for several years lived alone in two rooms on the Grst floor of the above mentioned house, which is @ four story brick tenement To the neighbors and in- mates of the house she has long been a mystery. That she was possessed of no inconsiderable amount of money for one in her station of life all believed, bat her mode of living no indication of the fact Her apartments wi scantily furnished, and her food was of the most commonplace character. Visitors were never welcome to her, and whea they succeeded in intrading upon ber privacy she never lost occasion to descant upon her poverty. She rarely left her home and was never away more than a few hours, Three years ago her son, who was, for many years & telegraph operator in the Central Department of Police, died, and soon afterward Mrs. Polhemus disposed of two houses and lots which she owned, receiving there- for $12,000 in cash, This transaction was kept a close secret by her and came to light only yesterday, when she told the police of ih She first ‘ placed the moneys in a downtown savings bunk. Last summer she withdrew it from these and deposited it with safe deposit ener. A month ago, hagesoag, as she explains, “afraid that ail the banks in New York were going to break,” she in drew the entire sum, amounting to a little over $10,000, intending to keep it in ber own s- sion. The sum was composed of five bills of $1,000 each, forty-nine of $100 each and two of $50 each. Whenever she left the huuse she carried with her, concealed in ber bosom, her little fortane, and every night she slept with it hidden in her bed. During the daytime, while at home, she generally placed the money in a drawer of an old dressing case that stood in the front room, On Saturday afternoon, at two o'clock, Mrs. Pok hemus left her house to make some purchases. By a careless oversight she omitted to take with her the Pager bag which was in the dressing case drawer. his, she says, was the only time she ever failed to take it with her, Shortly before six o'clock she re- turned, On-entering the hallway she noticed the door of the rear room, which she had locked previous to going out, open. With a scream SHE RAN TO HEM DRESSING CASR. The money was gone. A gold watcb and chain, a pair of gold bracefows, a pair of jet earrings and a pair of gold earrings, valued in all at $825, which were in the samo ar were also gone, Without*losing a moment a ied the officer on pest, who reported the robbery to Acting Captain Osborne, of the,Twelfth pre- cinct, The latter officer took with him his detectives and made an examination of the premises. They found @ pane in the window of the rear room looking out upon the yard broken, and the catch which secured the window was turned aside, showing plainly that the thief had entered by the window. The inmates of the house were closely questioned, and soon the scheme by which the robbery bad been effected was disclosed. Mra. Cooper, an aged widow lady, residing on the floor with Mra. Polhemas, but on the other side of the halk way, told the following atory:— A WELL LAID PLOT. At about four o’clock on Saturday afternoon, two hours after Mrs. Pothemus had left the house, a well dressed, gentee! looking young man of about twenty- five years, with an Ulster coat on, entered, holding in hs hand asmall book and Fier Pd pencil bebind his ear. Knocking at the door of Mrs. Cooper, be smii- ingly said that he was taking mames for a new direc- tory and would thank ber forthe names of the ten- ants, She remarked that it was rather an unusual season of the year for directory men to be at work, but the smiling young man gatisfied her that February was better than for such a purpose, The unsus- pecting old lady thereupon recited the various names, When she mentioned that ot Mrs. Polhemus the young man was particularly anxious to know her ‘apartments. He was about to take his departure when a | clerical looking fei rapped at the door and asked if the lady of the house was within. The man inthe Ulster coat politely bowed himself out pending her answer and peared. ‘‘I come,’’ said the clerical gentleman, ‘‘as the representative of the Ladies’ Aid Society to render you pecuniary assist- ance.’ Mrs. r elevated her spectacles and bade bim take achair. The conversation grew interesting. The clerical gentioman told of the many cases of suifer- ing that he had relieved, and dwelt with unction upon the grand virtues of charity, Noticing that Mrs, Cooper appeared somewhat infirm, he asked her to walk ‘up and down the room a few times, that he might jadge of her physical condition, with a view to sending her a physician if necessary. This she did, and the while he continaed talking of the noble deeds of charity he was daily performing. The interview lasted some twenty minutes, during which time the elerical gentleman sat by the partially open doot, keeping one eye on the hallway. As he took his departure he shook Mrs. Cooper werd ‘the band and assured her that sho should be well en care of by the Ladies’ Aid Society. ‘An hour later Mrs. Cooper, upon going into the hallway, noticed the door of Mrs. Polhemus’ room ajar and sup- posed that that lady had returned. The victim of the robbers is nearly crazy by her loss, She says the sum stolen from is the result of the savings of her lifetime, and all she had in the world. ‘The police express considerable doubt as to the poss!- bility of catching the thieves. In their opinion the job was planned, long before its execution, by adrott profes- Bion: who were familiar with every movement of their victim. RECORD: OF CBIME.

Clinton, nis counsel, said no was not | ready to go on with the examination, and asked the | Court for an adjournment. Judge Duffy set the case down peremptorily for Wednesday next at the Tombs, | where he ie sitting this week for Judge Flammer, 1n the event of Mr. Clinton not being ready to ge on then Mr, Decker’s case will be closed, and the papers will be transmitted at once to the District Attorney. Tho evidence for the prosecution is all in, and all that is | needed to close the case is the evidence for the defence, In behalf of Mr. Morgan, another of the defendants | with Decker an the charge of perjury, Mr. Traax said he was ready to go on at once. Judge Duffy expressed his anxiety to dispose, of the wholo case as quickly as possible, in view of the fact that so many were looking for some decided action. Ho decided therefore to take up Mr. Morgan’s case, and | with it those of Carman, Lyons and Bates also at tho | Tombs on Friday afternoon. An application was then made by Benjamin A. Me- Donald on behalf of Henry C. Abrens, a hquor dealer residing at No. 827 Fourth avonue, for warrants for the arrest of William A. Darling and Spencer K. Green. They were connected with Third Avenue Bank dur- ing 1871—Green as presiden' ig MecDonald, as the expert accountant for Georgina F.

The floors were nearly all impregnated with oil and grease and burned like so much tinder. There was a scarcity’ | of water, and even if such had mot been the case it | Was impossible for the firemen to venture near to | direct a stream on the burning building. Water waa | obtained, however, from some adjacent houses, but was | too little in quantity to be of use. Halfan hoar after’ the commencement of the fire the whole manufac-! tory was enveloped in a sheet of flame Theol books in the office were fortunately saved, but fromi the main building nothing was rescued. Upward of 200 machines of different Kinds, worth from $100,000 to’ $200,000, driven by very powerful engines, were among) the ruins. This hardware manufactory was the largest! on Long Island, and, perhaps, in the United States,, About 400 workpeople were employed at wages ranging! from $3 to $40 per week. Upward of thirty trucks) were employed in transporting goods from the manufae~/ tory to the store in this city. About a year ago the old building was removed to wake way for the new structure, The firm were heavy contractors with the government for supplying tinware to the army, navy| and for the Indians. Their machinery was, no doubt} the most elaborate in the country, consisting of dies,’ cutters, &, Mr. Grosjean, the President of the Company, was at his house in Brooklyn, and arrived at the scene of de- struction at about eight o’clock in the morning. Ho took his loss very philosophically and said to some of the workmen that the place would be going again in three months, The engine which moved the machin- ery was rated nominally at 150 horse power. A.couple of four-furnace boilers supplied the necessary steam, The fy wheel was sixteen feet in diameter. Tb Jamaica firemen and the volunteers worked manfully,’ but their task was an impossible one. . ) While the fire was raging another fire was discow~{ ered in the hotel of Mr, Theraut, opposite the prove’ It is alleged that this fire was bot caused by trom the other one, and there is a suspicion of incen- diartsm. This was extinguished by some of the Jamaica firemen, who were present in considerable force, with two or three machines. A school-hense, about a quarter of a mile distant, caught fire from sparks on the roof, but the building was saved. WHAT THE TREASURER 84S. Last evening a Henao reporter called at the office of the Lalance & Grosjean Manufactaring brag! gg whose office and store rooms are situated at No. Beekman street and No. 55 Cilff street. The following are the officials of the company :—Mr. F. Grosjean, President; Mr. J. C. Milligan, Vice President; Mr. KE. 'W. Martin, Secretary’ and Treasurer, and Mr. J. H. Smith, Superintendent of Works Im conversation with Mr. Martin, that gentleman made: the following statement :— “Our manutactory at Woodhaven, situated at about three miles from East New York, on the Jamaica Rail. road, was one of the largest manufactories of its kind. The articles we make are of tin and iron, and princi- pally for culinary purposes, and dishes, kettles, can~ die sticks, frying pans, mugs, 8) sugar bowls, cracker bowls, tea trays, spittoons, tumbler warmers, and a large number of kindred articles too numerous’ tomention, The space covered by the works is a com- pangs bsock of about four acres, Many of the workmen, ive in houses at low rents, on property belonging to There are about sixty of these houses, ‘THE L083 ESTIMATED.

Mr. 8. HL Hard, whe receiver of the Third Avenue Bank, in answer to inquiries, yesterday stated to a Henaco reporter that he expected to pay a dividend of from fifteen to twenty cents on the dollar to the depos- tors about the middle of next month. By waiting thus long, he stated, be would tn all probability be able | to make a better realization of the assets than he otherwise could do. Already, he said, he had made $13,000 by waiting for the creditors on some bonds, which, had they been sold at the time he was first ap- ~pointed, would have had to be sold ata sacrifice. Tho total dividend the depositors may expect is moro likely to be twenty-five cents than thirty, although it may probably reach the latter sum. BUSINESS TROUBLES, - Messra, Benjamin B, Tilt & Son, dealers im manufac- tured silks, of No. 66 Worth street, made an assign- | ment for the benefit of their creditors to Dennis O’Don- oghue, and when the fact was made known on tho street it created no little excitement among the silk trade, The house bas always been considered as very reliable, and the announcement of its failure was alto- gether unexpected. Tilt & Son are connected with a silk manofacturing company in Paterson, N. J., and estimated their liabilities at between $300,000 and $400,000, No estimate of their assets vould be ob- tained yesterday. In the examination in the matter of Wallace & Co. dry goods merchants, of New Orleans, who failed some | months ago for about $1,000,000, which took place yeater- day before John W.

Mr. Florian Grosjean, who is a native of Switzerland, is @ self-made man, in the truest acceptation of the word, and is greatly beloved at Woodhaven. In his youth ba was a clerk in Lalance’s banking house at Montebard, France. When e years of age be | emigrated here and became an importer of French. hol- | low ware, and remained in that business until 1861, when he commenced manufacturing on bis own ac- | count. In that year heestablished his manufactory at | Woodhaven and bought150 acres of iand, on which he | hats erected a large number of houses, all of them | inbabited by his workmen He hus also given a large and handsome church to the village, ‘ikewise a large reservoir. A competent surgeon resides there, whose practice is confined to the factory bands, Skill mechanics from all lands are welcomed by Mr. Gros- jean, and there was a queer mingling of Americans, Germans and Frenchmen in the manufactory. Mr. Grosjean lives in one of the handsomest villas in Long Isiand, of the Italian order of architecture, siiuated in the centre of about twenty-one acres of exquisite garden.
