THE MARTINEZ-DEL VALLE TRIAL Conclusion of the Defendant's Cross-Examination. THE DEFENCE’S SENSATION. What Two Bell Boys Say They Saw at the Hotel Royal. CELIA RAINBOW'S ‘TESTIMONY. The proceedings at (he trial of the suit of Miss Martin jainst Mr. Dei Valle were yesterday invested with more than usual interest, from the fact that some rather startling tesimony was given by two witnesses producea by the defence, and that tho girl Celts, whose fame has figured so prominently in the case, was also one of the witnesses examined. Tho court room was crowded, the audieuce being composed entirely of meo, which was a little remarkable, inasmuch as al nearly every scandal trial that bas been held in this clty for years past there were always to be found among the most eager listeners in court a score or so of females. Either the women who gebderally attend triais liko the present are out of town or have of late adopted a new standard of Propriety. No matter what the cause the result is Fratifying, and the fact that the absence of the tlass who used to attract the most attention in court bext to the parties in interest has created considera- ble remark makes it all the more so, The plaintiff! was, as usual, accompanied by her mothor and sister, CONCLUSION OF MR, DEL VALLES TRETINONY.

PELLER. THE DEFAULTING ABREST OF THOMAS ELLIS, THE DEFAULTING TELLER OF THE PARK BANK, IN 8ST. JOUNS N. B.—HOW IT WAS DONE. On Sunday last intelligonce was received from St. Johns, B., that Thothas Ellis, the much advertised defaulting teller of the Now York Park Bavk, was ar- rested in that place. The boldness of the deed and the eriminal’s successful evasion of detection lor so long a time awakoned an interest in the details of the case which a Henaup reporter yosterday sct at work to satisly. The bare fact of bis arrest which had been tele- graphed to the city scomed to be the sum and sub- stance of what was known by some parties interested In tho matter aut very lately, and for a fuller account the reporter went in quest of Mr. Edward Malloy, do- tective for the bankers and brokers of Wall street, who has recently returned from tho provinces, and who, it was consequently thought, might in some way bo connected with the aflair, Mr. Malloy, on being ques- toned about his knowledge of thoarrest, said:—‘‘Iam familiar with the way 18 occurred and am 1 a position to give you any informatio !n the matter you may desire.”” “1 want the whole story of the case,’ said the repor- ter;and Mr, Malloy, haying procured some documents Dearing on tho subject, furnished the following narra- tive:— “On the lst of November 1 left New York for Hali- fox. 1 was called there to assist 1n identifying two prisoners, who were charged with having robbed the Bank of Nova Scotia of $25,000 in August last. Belure leaving tnis city 1 called upon Mr. Worth, the Presi- dept of the Park Bank, and told him I was going to the provinces, and if ho furnished me with a photo. graph of Ellis I might encounter him there, Mr. Worth said that nothing bad been heard of tho dofault- ing paying teller since bie tight, and added that he was afraid he bad no portrait of iim left After‘ cearching, however, he found ope, and, on giving’ it -10 me, he said, ‘Tuls is tno last photograph I have of Ellis, and i hope you will be enabled to make good use of 11,’ I lett the city that day and on reaching Halifax 1 was in communication with Sergeant Davia Power, assistant deputy marshal, and as eharp-witted and active an oficial as | have met. 1 showed him Eths’ photograph and set inquiries on foot concerning bim while maiutwning a close surveillance over hotels and lodging houses where the fugitive might be harbored. You will ask why L took such pains to keep a lookout for Ellis in Hali ax when there are so many other cities to which he might as readily have fled. Woll, the Teaon why I did so Was this: new that on leaving New York he would be likely to go to Europe. He was a Welshman by irth, 1 jearned, aud now that be bad beeume of big iH-gomen gain it wam-exceed- ingly probable that he would returu home with fi Now, when he flod trom the city he did not go at onco to Europe. for bo bad been in the bank two hours alter the fast steamer lett this port. 1t was only oataral, thea, to suppose that he had gone to the provinces and would most probably be found in Halifax awarting transportation across the Atlantic. “My efforts to discover his whereabouts, however, were ensirely frurtiess, and so1 gave the matter into the hauds 0: Sergeant rower, feeling tbat he would uge afl possible care and despatch in sceking out tuo/ be extradited, even if he were apprehended, To this I Ho accepted the charge, but told thought It was a uceless task, as tho defaulting clerk could not said that, under authority from New York, he could seize such of the stolen money as might bo found to Elis’ possession. Me agreed to this arrangement, ana knowing how sharp and energetic he was, I left Halifax almost coulldent that whatever exertions he woud make would be rewarded. Last week | received this Jetter from him.” Mr. Malloy here proauced the fol- Jowng comm anication :— Hatarax, Nov. 16, 1876. kindly loft at the City by the persons men card iin having been a» on tioned ia the enciosod fellow passenger of theirs their way from Montreal tu this city and subsequently roomed with them at tho -hotel daring his stay in this city, He left abont the Yd or 4th fnst. for home, but is supposed to be still In the eity or province. He hax written a ietter to hin wife or some friend in New York. Ife ix marrios it would be well to wa ch lis wife's ements. You can compare the writing on the postal card with Ellis’ at the National Park Bank, Should it correspond t can be but little doubt asto his identity. Yours truly, DAVID POWER, Assistant Dopaty Marshal. This was accompanied by a postal card to Messrs, Munro and Holland trom a gentleman they had met on the train who signed himself “Willett.” “I took this postal card to the Park Bank,” Detective Malloy went ‘on to. say, ‘and Me, Worth recognized it at once. This was commanicated to Power, But im the mean time he had been busily at work. First he went to the rail- road station and showed the photograph to all the conductors and brakemen, at the same time inquiring if wey had carried any parsenger age 4 bearing a resemblance to it. Betore jong ie fonnd a conductor who remembered Ellis passage on his train nnd later on 1 that ho baa gone to St. Jonns, N. was likely to be there stil, Away went Power at onco to St. Johns, and there he found Elis ond arrested him, finding’ on his person $8,000 of the stolen money, That isthe whole story of the Park Bank detaaiting teller’s arrest,’ suid the detective, “and Sergeant Power deserves creditor it 1m say here, too, that nota photograph of Ells had been forwarded to the provinces, and this oversight would, in all probability, have enabled him to make good his escape to Europe but for that last picture of his which Mr. Werth gave me to take to Halliax.’” A SENSATION SPOILED. . uite suddenly, ay he said, Yesterday morning some boys playing in the collar ofan unoccupied house at No. 135 avenue B, were startled by discovering a exull and pile of human bones ino corner, Suspecting that something waa wrong they notiBed Officer Pervival Hull, of the Eleventh: precinct, who reported Lhe facts to the station house. ‘The remaths woe removed to the Murgue and word was sent 60 tf ‘ners On investigation by the police it. wis found the house was formoriy pied by Or, O'Sullivan, and that the bones bad Uhis residence, leit in the cellar when be chan, CHEAP CABS.

Let us see fur a moment the action of the Park Doparsment respecting the appropriations and balances which they wish transferred, That departinent asked $59,300 10 keep the bridges over Hariem River in repai They were allowed $40,000, Up to November 1, 1876, they have expended $12,004 29. This money was either re- quired or it was not. It it was required to keep tho bridges in repair to meet the public uecessities, then it should bave been so used. If it was not, then the call for 1t Was a wrong upon the taxpayers and. an im- position upon the Board of Apporuonment. Tho Park Departnenn asked for $29,000 to muiutain the vridges over the Bronx River in 1876. They were allowed $15,000, Upto the Ist of this month they had ex- pended of tuis amount only $33 50. Thia money was either wanted or it was not. If it was not “= should now have — been called = tur; {(1t was it should have been used tur the purpose ior which it was supplied. Had considerations of economy dictated the saving of these bridge muneys, or it it was found after bemg called for that they were not required, this would afford some justitication tor their notoeiy used. But this cannut be claimed, tor neither Of these propositions ts irae, We have seen trom what accounts tue Park Department wants transiers und now let us sce to what account they wis them to besnade, If made they go to swell the salary accouats wich this Board wok especial pains limit, and to swell the maintenance account of tho purké, already sufficiently provided for, There is no oom for doubt that the number of salariod persons and the salaries paid by the Department of Parks are xeessive, Lam iniormed that fruitless efforts have been made on tho purt of one Commissioner to keep within the appropriauions and to reduce saluries, and that tho Park Department was repeatedly informed early in the Yyeur that uniess they cconomized their moneys they Would run short belore the year was out They had months ago full warning.” The Board of Appor- tonment bas of jate strictly adhered tv the rule not to transter apparent bal«nces of former yeu Were tho | application of the Department of Parks meritorious thin rule would exclude the iransier asked for by the appropriations for 1874 and 1579, anu it 18 now found that the rule 18 just applicable to the year 1876, as any balances that muy seem to exist are only apparcut. ‘They do not exist in fact, and no transier of them should be made except im case of unperauve meceasity.

Re Spectially submitted, ANDREW H. GREEN, Comptroller, DERATE ON THE QUESTION. Mayor Wickam, at the conclusion of Mr. Green's Treading, remarked that no matter woat had Been the action of the Park Commissioners the property of thé city should be cared for and some provision mado for such a contingency as then presented usoif. Comptroller Grey said that tt was in the discretion of the Board of Apportionment to do as they pleased in the matter, They wanted reliable and trustworthy statements, however, «8 to the exact condition of the, Park Department. It wasa lamentablo fact that the moneys appropriated for tho maintenance of the parks for the year 1876 had already been spent. He aureed with the Mayor that the public property should be protec Mi ir Wi te | for the y au—I would ko to ask Mr. the only member of the Park Department b yacq pied With the eireunstance: in bis judgment, will be necessary tenance of the parks forthe balan for cleaning thom up, taking branches, aud taking care of the Mr. Mi Stebbins, out, hd away avimals? sty rather a dificult nation.

That woull tthe force to some thitty or forty Inen on Central ark and a sinall number on the oLber parks Bat you bear in mind there are a great many other during the fall ip sstering | the the parks, such as preparing for tho skat- x season. Tho buildings are to be pul up, the ponds are tobe preparod, mai of that character which the public seem to expect and for which wo have, [ think, always had money to expend. Bat ft your question ts directed simply to tauintaining and keeping the parks in order, $10,000 or $12,009 would do it within the next forty days. Mayor Wicktam—You had no skating last yoar, Mr. Steunivs—We prepared for it, sir; we always prepare. Mayor Wickitam—Wore any appropriations made this year? Mr, StEAnINs—Wo have no maintenance money ap- plicable lor that purpose; 1 has ran out, Mayor Wicktam—Woaat amount couid be judiciously expended in repairing and keeping iu order the roads and avenues during the uext forty days? Mr. Stenwixs—I think those ruads should be cared for, and have so voted, but we havo not maintenance money sullicient, Mayor Wikuam—Forty thousand dollars was appros priated for that work tor 1876, Mr, Stunmixs—Yes, sir, Mayor Wicknam—That seems to have been all ex Fendei, the broken NO MONEY FOR THE WORK. Mr. Stennixs—Wo have not the money to go on with tho necessary work. We have either got to lot them Hic untuthe 1st of Januaty ana take the chances of the weather enabling us to keep those roads in order, or tt bas got to bo done right away, betore the frost sete in. Mayor Wickuam—How much could be judiciously ex. pended? I meat to put the roads in order, I don't mean for surveying and engincering, but tor simpty re. pairing those roads and making them passable jor the winter season, Mr. Stennixs—I think that requires’some examinay ton betore venturing a judgment, Mayor Wicknam— Would $5,000 be suMcient ? Mr. Stxusixs—I should think $5,000 would do it, if wo are limited to that amount during the short time we have to make any repairs during tue present year, Bus 1 should think the exercise of some liberality in felatfon to that district on the part of the Board of Apportionment is very important It is a district ere they have complained very bitterly, and trom the ppearance of things this fall [ should think they wonld havo reason to complain. 1 ehould think thata liberal sum should be afowed them to keep those roads in order for the winter. [estimate that $10,000 would do it after I examined tho question with great caro. Mayor Wick#am—The Comptroller desires me to as] you whether in your judgmont the amount appro Priated by this Board to the Park [partment for the » year 1876 for its maintenance, had it been properly ew @rnded, would have been a suflicient amount to havd fisted during the entire year? i Mr. Stenuixs. —1 would answer that by ‘ing that it we had at the commencement of the yoar reduced th¢ expenses im harmony with tho amount appropriated, which | thought we could do, and which I endeavor to do, we would have gone through the year with tne amount appropriated, Mayor Wickuam—Tho Comptrolier desires to know whether the same answer applies to the appropriatiog for the Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth wards, ch¢ amount of which was $49,000? Mr, Ste —Yes; we have paid throughout the yoar for I a larger percentage th»n the otber do partments have patd, ft we had paid tor our lavor w& the market rate of labor 1 think the same answer a that to the previous question would be applicable te tho Twenty-third aud Twenty-fourth wards Mayor Wickitam—Tho Comptrolier desiros me to ash if there has been charged tor supervision of the roads in the annexed district the sorvices ofan enginver at a salary of $2,400 per year, and paid for outot the amvant appropriated for the maintenance of the roads 1n the Twenty-third and Tweaty-foorth wards? Mr. Stesnins—1 think tho law provides that those salirics are payablo out of that appropriation. Ma. Wicktam—rhey have always been so paid? Mr, Stennixs—Yes, I think so. Mayor Wicktas—They are payable from an espectal appropriation? Mr. Stewnixs—My Impression 1 that in your appro- priation for t Twenty-third. and Twenty-fourth wards you made a special appropriation for that pur- Dose, against which salaries could bo charged, ( pirolior Greex—Keeping in order country roads don’t require an engineer, The prac n the country 1s to.send people fo work vut their taxes on the ro: They do it na very rude way, : Mavor WickitiamM—You must recollect that the roads in the Twenty-third and Twonty-iourth~ wards of tnia” city ought not to be put on a par with the ordinary country roads, Comptroller Gurex—Yes, but they don’t require any engineering. The Mayor then, expressing the seuse of the Board, offered a resolution providing tor the tranat of $10,000 from the police tund ot the Park Depart ment to the maiutenance account of that department to be used exclusively ior the care and preservation o the parks, aud for no other purpose, for the balance of the year, He also offered a resolution providing for the transfer of $5,000 from the police und of the department tor 1876, to be used for the specific object of repairing und keeping in order the roads in the» Twenty-third and Twenty-ioarth wards for the remain- der of the year, é ‘The cosolation’s were laid over for examination untif the next meeting, after which the Board adjourned, WORK FOR THE INDIGENT, Tho proposed river tunnel! between New Jersey and New York contains large promise of work for laborers and mechanics during the coming winter, Nambera of men have been already set to work, and it ia ex- pected that some 200 will find employment.
