On the wall at the back of the hall were also streamers of black.

Among the nuinber present at the services were some Christian Brothers trom the Manhattan Colloge. There was a profusion of floral tributes and the funerai was attended by a number of prominent citizens. The romaing wore taken to the Marble Cem- etery, In Second street. A BURGLAR'S FATE. MORTALLY WOUNDED, AND THEN ABANDONED BY HIS COMPANIONS IN CRIME, While three burglars were engaged plundering the residence of Mr. John Greacean, at Rye, Westchester county, about half-past twelvo o’clock yesterday morn- ing, one of them was shot and mortally wounded by a son of Mr. Greacean, ‘he injured ropber, who gave his name as George Keiser, was yesterday committed to the County Jail It is said that he cannot survive many hours, It appears that young Greacean was awakened during the might by footstepgin tho house. Takipg a loaded shotgun, which stood near his bed, be cautiously opencd the door of his sleeping room, and saw by the aid of a dark lantern, which one of them carried, three men aecending the stairs iead- ing to the floor on which he slept. Instantly taking in the situation on secing Mr. Greacean, the trio turned to retreat, when the young man ordered thom to stand or be would fire. “Io this admonition, however, they paid no atiention, and bounded to the foot of the stairs, expecting to reach ground floor and thus escape through a door which thoy had left open for that purpose. As the ijast of the men was turuiag around the bannister to descend the lower stairs Greacean fired the shot and struck the burglar, who fellto the floor, His companions re- turned and dragged the wounded man from the hou: and with bim were soon lost in the darkness. No at- tempt was made on the part of the inmates to follow the burglars, fearing, perbaps, that they might have had contederates outside. CAPTURK OF THE WOUNDED MAN. Shortly alter auyiight iu the worping some citizens found a wounded man covered with a blanket and lying by the roadside a few hundred yards from Mr. Greacean’s house. A cart was procured and the man was taken before Justice Dusenberry, who, on hearing the evidence of Tovy Greacean, committed bim to await the action of the Grand Jury. The prisoner says he lived in the Twenty-first ward of New York, examination by the jail physician tt was found that he ‘was mortally wounded. He 18 eviuently a German, about twenty-eight years old. THE DOE MANSION BURNED. At six o’clock last evening the heavens were Drill- tantly illuminated by what appeared to people living iv Jersey City and Newark to be a great fro raging in tne vicinity of the Singer sewing machine manufac- tory in Elizabethport, The light, however, proved to emanate from the burning residence of Peter B. Amory, on the Bouievard, in North Elizabeth, Flames were discovered issu- mg from the lower windows shortly iter nightfall and the alarm was promptly given, but owing to the great distance (he house was from the central portion of the city the firemen were unable to render any effective service, as the wholo building was one | mass of flames upon tneir arrival upon the grounds, The baiding, which was known as tue "Doe Mansion,” was valued at $35,000, and 1s partly cov- ered by insuran in| Klzabetb, Newark and New York companies. It was o of the finest ecifices architecturally and otherwise in Eliza- beth, and, from its commanding situation at the bead of the boulevard ieading to Newark, formed the priu- cipal landmark of the northern section of the city, AU the time of tho fire 1 was unoccupied, but was under the charge of a special watchman, who, bow. ever, its said, was abseut from bis post. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary, THE STARVING POOR.

On last Thursday evening they had a quarrel and Messinger, running into his room, came out with a large sbeath katie, (be blade of which was twelve inches long, and endeavored to stab Pereira The latter escaped without tnjury and the next day appeared at the Washington Place Police Court and obtained from Justice Smith a warrant for Messingor’s arrest, When ho roturned bome from work in the evening he found that Me: ait for him i the ime knife and tried to stab him, While Messinger was chasing Pereie through the hallway of the house Officer Harty, of the Court squad, in whose bands the war- rant lor his arrest had been placed, entered the butid- ing and arrested im.

Sweeny and Connolly, Past and Present, Tweed, GROWTH OF WEALTH AND FRAUD The Old Supervisors’ Days—The Nuturaliza- tion Mill Tactics, —-——— AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY WANTED See William M. Tweed continues as ufual {n bis old quar- ters at Ludiow Street Jail He received some calls yesterday, and is reported to be not at all put out by the severity of the woather. Considering that he has been lately studying at great dieadvantage in the low Intitades the mellifuons ianguage of Cervautes, Lope de Vega and Castelar, he stands with remarkable torti- tude his recent transier to the regions of hyperborean blasts, big fires aud contested elections The glimpses of the secret history of the Tammany Ring, recently given in the columns of the HxRatp, have only served to show how much more has yet to be revealed. Following up the thread of their investi- gations, the HexaLp representatives have succee led im unearthing some starthugly interesting points which throw new light epon the depravity of the Tammany Ring, and which aiso show that while the Ring was cheating the city its agents were cheating it tn turn, A TALK WITH TWEED, In the course of the Hrnatp's investigations one of its agents, in an official capacity, was favored with @ few moments with Tweed in his room or cell at Lud- Jow Street Jail, Mr. Tweed seems to be determined, as far possible, to make a hermit of himswif, for he avolds seeing anybody aud everybody whom he can possibly escape. He seems more than usually despondent and professes to believe that ‘the papers’? are unanimously “against him,” “care nothing for what the news- papers can asay,’? said Mr. Tweed, ‘they can’t uo- make anything and they can’t decide anything, All they can do 1s to create a prejudice, and that they are doing. They know I am safe game now; but there is one comlort,” continted the old man, rubbing his han paper talk 1s not evidence—it has no legal valu MIS NEWSPAPER WRONGS. About his “newspaper wrongs” Mr. Tweed talks freely, but about law matters he is as dumb asan oyster, This much has been ascertained, however. One of the principal witnesses against Tweed has been officially notified that ho willbe no longer required. Mr. Tweed, however, says distinctly that he intends to “hold on to all his legal rights,” Evidently on the more important matters connected with bimself Mr, Tweed is adopting the maxim that *‘Specch is silver, but silence is golden.” AX AUTOBIOGRAPHY. A publishing house of this city has conceived the idea of procuring Tweed’s autobiography. The head of the house has offered an intimate friend of Mr. Tweed’s $10,000 down if he will obtain tho data from Mr. Tweed, and a sensational writer of this city is under contract to edit the work for $1,000, ‘The publishing house also contracts to give Mr. Tweed one-fourth of the entire receipts from the salo ofthe book, being about triple the usual author's copyright. There is no doubt, the publisher thinks, that such a book as this, if genuine, would sell at loast 100,000 copies, which at $2a volume would yield Mr. Tweed the handsome sum of $50,000 aud about the same to the entorprising publishers. A DRAWBACK, All this scheme needs is the consent of Mr, Tweed, who refuses even to say a word to his most intimate friends about his political matters. As far as Tweed is concerned, his friends say ‘that what Tweed knows will die with him.’? THR PARTY BY THR NAME OF ——. According to a friend of Tweed’s, the man named Jobnson, about whom so much newspaper discussion has taken place, is in reality Mr. Johnson, the counsel of Mr. Devlin, who was on Tweed’s vail bond. ‘THEY ‘‘DOUBLE-HEADED" SUPERVISORS, Itis generally taken for granted that Tweed made the great bulk of bis ill-gotten wealth during the exi: ence of that political combination called “fhe Ring.’s But, according to an intimate friend of bir. Tweed, he laid the basis of his vast possessions, and really ac- quired a large portion of them vefore he was associated at all with Sweeny or Connolly, “In the oll double-headed Board of Supervisors,” said the friend of the Boss, ‘‘it was that Tweed got rich, amd Walter Roache, Congressman Fox aud ‘Hank’ Smith got rich withhim. In this Board tho honors were easy, for it was composed one-half of democrats and one-half of republicans, and by special arrangement of Tweed it was generally presided over by a republican. In this respect Tweed was shrewd, a8 thereby attention was diverted trom Tweed and his party. Several of this Board of Supervisors became wealthy. Fox and Roache spent the most of their money. “Hank’’ Smith invested bis in varivus enterprises, some of which, like the Bowhng Green Savings Bank, proved unfortunate, but Tweed retired irom the Hoard of Supervisors a richer man than all the rest combined, and without being thought to be go rich, efther, as at that time he was not so prominently before the public ag in later years." SWEENY TO RETURN, In tbe course of a conversation Mr. Tweed remarked toa triend that he “had no doubt Peter B. Sweeuy would return to New York.” whenorbow, Ibis a mistaken notion that Peter 3. Sweeny lives in such palatial style wbroad, On the contrary, be lives plainly in Paris, where a man can live, if he chooses, more cheaply than im any other great city in the world. in fuel, am wequaintance of Mr, Sweeny’s, formerly connected with bis reat estate transactions, statcd to the Henao representative that “Sweeny is poor man, comparatively speaking. His realestate in New York hag been im large part attached by the city iu such 8 way that he canavs really get much rental from it, wud like al! other real estate it has ‘shrunk’ greatly.” It 18 also rumored that a party in this city, in whom Mr. Sweeny placed confidence, and who was intimately connected with bis a‘fairs, has taken advantage of the situation and has treated Sweeny’s funas as be bim- is supposed to have treated ands of the city, According to parti¢s who profess to know, tho greavest obstacle to the revurn of Mr. Sweeny is the advice of John McKeon. Mr MeKeon, though now his counsel, was an antagonist of Sweeney's, even tn the days woen he covtrolied Tammany Hall, and never “coalesced” with the Mephistopheles of the Ring. This political antagonism hus of iate yoars become tmodified, bat Mr. McKeon thinks that it would bo “decidedly unpleasant” for Mr. Sweeny in case tho latter ventured within the limits of New York. SWEENY’S TAOTICA. Mr, Sweeny bas been called ‘the Tharlow Weed of the democrats,” and be deserves the tila His iriends consider bim @ much “smarter” man than Mr, Weed. The Henin representative chanced to meet an old ac- quaintance of Sweeny, a jocal. politician of the ardent democratic stripe, and found the latter gentleman per- fectly enthusiastic In bis admiring reminiscences of Mr. Sweeny’s talents, ‘‘His management of tbat Young Democracy fight,” said the enthusiastic ad- mirer of Peter B., ‘‘was perfoctly magnificent—boat Bismarck, He packed up his carpet bag and went to Albany, found things going against him, saw that be could make no combinations there, that th boys meant mischiel. So what did he dof Gave Tweed a wink, packed bis carpet bag again and re turned to New York as quietly as ho jeitit. Then be sent for the republicans, mado a new deal with them, and before they knew it\the boys wero beaten, routed, nothing left of them. There can be no doubt that Mr. Sweeny was an abie man; but there is as little doubt that he was not overserupulous. His favorite term was “capture,” be would gloat over the capture of » ward, ashe plrased tt, with tho atmost relish. His chief apturing” lide was in the campaign of Ithough the city of New York was con- siderably smalier than pretent, ho so ‘‘capturea” matters and manufactured votcrs and so arranged it | relied bitterly. with certain leading republicans that tho domocratic vote of New York was larger that year than it bas ever been since up to the present year. FRAUDULENT VOTING. It is now conceded that Mr. Sweeny was the chief “engineer” in tbe work of fraudulent voting, which Tammany Hal! brought to such a degree of perfection. | Although Mr. Sweeny himself was a rather usefal he continued to keep on intimate terms with the Tammany “runners” and “heelert who dia his bid. ding implicitiy and through whose agency, he could distribute = naturalization papers ad libitum, Now that the Ring days ure forever over certain parties concerned in these transactions do not hesitate to give some startling revelations as to the way ip which voters were made to order in New York. One ex-hveler stated to the writer that to his certain knowledge 25,000 votes were illegitimately added to the democratic majority’ at one election. He also stated that at any time, without any trouble, Sweeny could add from 1,000 to 5,000 votes to any ward’s number of Votes at very short notice. “He had it brought down to a fine point,” was the way an ex-heeler expressed it His part of the business was the peculiar province of Mr. eny, Who thus “manufactured public opinion to order’ ata rate most satisfactory to himself, “But did not the republicans suspect foul play, aud could they not have prevented it to a certain extent ?"” asked the writer. “Certainly they could nave blocked the game had they all vcen united, but many of them were in the pool themselves,” replied the ex-heeler. “Tho truth is that there were as many repubhean offcials acting secretly with Tweed and Sweeny as there were acting against them, and, of course, those republicans = who were in Tweed & Co.'s interest wanted to keep thing as they were, and winked at Sweeny making voter sod the Tammany oaturalization mill been for the republicans in New York, my boy,” said the ex-hevier, as he walkea away, “there never would bave beon any Tammany Ring.” SWHENY COMPARED WITH TWEED, Calling upon another tocal politician of a higher Stripe, who was cognizant of Mr, Sweeny’s peculiar style of manipulation, this gentleman remarked: told this official of a- certain bill he was designing to get through at A'bany, and he added, ‘Don’t you see by inserting a certain clause in this bill you can get $5,000 a year more salary {rom the city ? Of course the official saw this, and knew that Sweeny could add the clause and get tho dill through it be chose. Now, the Dill was really objectionable ; but besides the bribe implied in Sweeny’s suggestion, there ,was an equaily implied threat—for the man who could add thousands to a man’s salary by a clause conld take away thousands. So the official surrendered, put his scruples away, and, of course, worked like a beaver for the success of the Ddill—in which, of course, neither his name nor that of Sweeny figured, though both were benefited."? AN UNDERSTRAPPER’S STORY. In the centre of the Fourth ward there resides at present a man who did much of thedirty work of tho ‘Tammany Ring, From this man’s ips the Hera representative obtained even a more full, detailed and disgusting insight into the way that Sweeny & Co, made voters than is afforded even in our previous revelations, According to this indi- vidual thero were several hundreds of “the boys’? who made ‘a good thing’’ of it for some timo previous to the election by “swearing for’’ the voters whom they wanted to naturalize, or, to use Amore recent term, “count in.” They would accompany Patrick, or Fritz or whoever was to bo ‘naturalized’ before any one of two or three ‘Tammany’ lodges who would ask no questions, und they would sweat that they bad known Patrick or Fritz for five years, that he was of good moral character and had complied with all the requirements of the naturalization laws This, of course, was news to the ‘naturalized,’ who probably had not been in the country six mouths at the longest, but the papers were granted and the profes, sional political perjurers got their ‘pay’ for the job— varying trom $2 to $5 per ‘naturalized’ citizen.” “Rather poor pay, wasn’t it,” asked the Hzxatp representative, naturally enough, “for such work ?’? “"Yes,”. replied the iniormant, ‘it would not have amounted to much for ono job, but then there were plenty of jobs, A siart man could make from $30 to $100 a day for wecks together, and I know of two or three meu who got rich off of it.” Sometimes naturalizai\ion papers were made outin advance and ‘filled in”? as to the names, on the day before clection, or not till the very election morning. Sometimes even the formality of genuine docu- ments was dispensed with and bogas natu- ralization papers on election day by the Tammany “neolers” Of the “judges” who lent themselves to these vile schemes, two made money, and put their money into real estate. Both of these corrupt judges were men of more than ordinary calibre, but they prostituted ther places for power ana pell. * SWEENY AS A LAWYER, It may bo mentioned here as a rather remarkable fact that although Mr. Sweeny was a wonder!ul ‘‘ma- nipulator”’ of the law he was a poor lawyer. True he held for a while the oifice of District Attorney, but he was absent from the city by far the major portion of hus term of office, though he drew bis salary. He had very few cases laid before him professionally, and was unfortunate with most of his cases, It is not generally known that daring the latter period of the Ring rule Sweeny and Connolly quar- Connolly accused Sweeny of trying to oust him out of the Comptroliership, and Sweeny iold Connolly that be was playing false to his asso- caves and trying to feather his own nest, 1 Me. Tweed did not say | | | sop at Berne, SwitzéFland, and to by two men that 4 mutuai Iriend is said to bave inter- fered to prevent personal violeuce, So that 1 will readily be sven that the Ring magnates did not by any | means constitute ‘a happy famtly."” THK SOLM SURVIVOR OF THE KiNG, Apropos of Connolly, it is said that he 8 the only | member of the Ring whois at the present time both free and rich «Sweeny is — “embarrassod,"” Tweed is in prison, but Connvlly has plenty | of money and bis freedom. Last summer | he is said to have met bie daughter and nis | self hugely in their socioty. According to some ac- counts, in order to avuld notice he adopted the dis. guise of tho Swiss costume; but according to othe who seem to know their man better, he suowed bim- seit undlushing!y to tho world. If one-half of what 18 said of Mr. Connolly be truo, bo wns parezcellence the cormorant of the Ring, He made everybody ‘divide’ with bim while be “aivided” with nobody. He used the Corporation advertising, not like Tweed, for politica! ends, but pri- vate gain, He offered to a republican paper, which | omouns | rutner opposed the Ring, a large of yearly advertising on the sole coudition that the paper would “divide’’ the amount withhim. Hoe dis. claimed all desire to contro: 11s columns; he merely shed to shure a portion of its “profits,” He offered ademocratic organ dve times its usual amount ot Corporation advertising if it would ‘divide,’ and similar instances could be cited. LIKE MASTER LKB MAN, Ané every man tn tie \i.ng Comptroller's of26 tm. tated the Comptroller, From his son down to the lowest clerk im the office the favorite word was “divvy.” Not one bill in a‘hunodred was TF paid in full to the party who held the bill And na- varally enough the examplo spread outside of his office, and as he cheated the city, so his agents often cheated bim. “Billy Cook” repeatedly decerved him as to the amount of moneys ho bad ob- tained and pocketed the difference. “Check raising” and alteriyg the amount on the city warrants was constantly practised. Often @ warrant for ope smount was made out, psyablo to tho order of A A was asked to the check, and would write his name on the back of a check for a much larger amount. This latter check would be presented at the Broadway Back and paid, the money called for by the smalier check, and the rest of the money paid would = by “divided,” In one case §=Cook fa said to have raised check’? from $35,000 to $135,000, and to have pocketed himself the difference. When the fraud was found out, he defied (he Taramany chieftains, who made the best of their bargain and heia their tongues, Jt is some comfort, however, to know that in moat It is bad not | ma “There was this diflerence between Tweed und Sweeny, Tweed bribed a man directiy or threatened bim point blauk, whereas Mr, Sweeny always finessed and bribed and threatened only by Implication, Thus ho calicd = one day | upon an official = of,~—s my_— acquaintance who was getting trom tho city $10,000 a year.

The demvcrats of the Ring are ruined, but many of the republicans who acted with the ring are still rich. How is this? Did they have tore iuck, or more prudence ¢ THE CROTON SUPPLY. TWEED'S SUBURBAN PURCHASES AND THE WATER PRIVILEGE Di¥FICULTY. The rumor noted some days since in the Hrnatp that suits would ve brought to compel the surrender by Tweed to the ety of the property in Petnam county, purchased by him under an alleged agreoment to transfer the same to the city when so required, seems to have been founded on fact, and that the actual serv ice of papers in the case has been postponed for prudential reagona, As it appears now Tweed and his representatives really control the ‘‘water privileges” in ervoir, and there is, i is alleged, no way by which be can be compelled to transfer the property to the city, as 1 has parsed out of bis hands aiter such @ fashion tbat a third party appears ip the trensaction as the principal ib interest. The property in question consists of about ninety acres 0: land in the Mahopac region, on which is a mill, with full water power, ‘Tweed, as Commissioner of Pablic Works, kept bimseif in the background when the property was purchased, but acted as tue advancer of the money. He wus, in fact, the backbone of the job. ‘I'he ‘property was pur- ehared for about $25,000, a much Jess” figure than Mt would have cost had either Tweed or tho city been known as the actuality intended owners of the proper A COMPROMISE DEMANDED. Upon this investment, beyond the interest at seven per cent, the veat sum Of $50,000 is said to be de- mau ed, and as the privileges have already been given to the city, aud as Mr, Foster Dowey, Tweed’s factotum and private secretary, holds the property in his name, he must become a party to the transier, aud so the matter stands H, as comtended, the property and the Saceruing With its possession, but already ac- rded under (be ali agreement’ nade at the ume ot purchase, are under she controt of Tweed and secretary, there would seem to bo but one way out of the diilicuity, and that 18 the cutting olf of the water from tlie lakes site ted withit the radiué of the ninety acre purchase. Ni would, some people believe, force a bargain, Just what can be done im the matter remains to be seen, The situation, so jar as the proceedings against ‘Tweed are concerned, 1s one that Would puzzie even a Philadelphia lawyer." As it stands on tix face, Tweed te best of it, and even should the purchase be ade at the sum demanded, there is no way in which the money could be reached, since Mr, Dewey, who holds the whip-hand of tho affair, 18 not responsible for Mr. “'weed’s transactions or Habilitie! .
