In addition to the bequests set forth in the above document, and not including about $700,000 given away by the Commodore during his last illness, the distribution of anothor $1,000,000 or thereabouts bas been arranged for. 1t appears that trom time to time tne Commodore gave instructions to his son William to distribute sums of money for special objects, and these directions were reduced to writing, and will all be carried out. It was the wish of the devises that many of these bequests should not be made known to the partic and the confidence hasbeen respected. Among the endow- ments not of a private ebaracter aro the sum of $500,000 for the establishment of a ‘home’ of “r treat” for the maimed employ és of the New York Ce: tral and Hudson River and the Harlem railroa $30,000 to Dr. Linsley in addition to th im desigvate in the will; $20,000 10 each of the nephews who wate legacies to the nurses and servants in the house in Washington place, and a purse, amount not kuown, to the map who had charge of the Commodore's stables. An ample sum is left in trust with Jacob Vanderbilt, the Commodore’s brother, for the sole use and benefit of Jacob's children. The Vander- bilt University is well provi jor. During his sick- ness the Commodore added $300,000 to the already magniticent endowment of that seat of learning and made generous provision for medals, &e, CHLOROFORMED TO DEATH. THE DEATH OF YOUNG WALTER LEWIS IN THE DENTIST'S CHAIR—WAS DR. WESTLAKE, J2., DRUNK? No ovent which has occurred in Central New Jersey since the murder of ‘Uncle Daniel’ Tallmadge, near Metuchin, in 1874, has causod such an excitement as tho tragic death of Walter E. Lewis, who died in a dentist’s chair in the office of Dr, Warren Westlake in Rahway, Union county, N. J., on Friday night last. It has been the common topic of conversation at Rah- way, and tho fact that it 1s likely to reach the courts in some shape has invested it with additional interest. THK STATKMSNT OF THK DECRAAKD'S BROTHER, Walter was accompanied to ths dentist’s by bis brother, Jobu Lambert: Lewis, two years his junior, and his statoment is the m important which will bo made at the Coroner’s inquest. says:—'Wo reached the dentist’s office about ten minutes before seven o’clock, aud as soon as we got in Warren (the dontist) stumbled against the stove. I turned to Walter aud and said, ‘Ob, let us go home, ho is drank,’ but Walter said, ‘Oh no, he only tripped.’ Walter asked the doctor, ‘Have you any gas?’ War- ren said, ‘No, but’ I have something bdet- ter—ether,’ und be reached into a small travelling bag, took out a bottle and held it up. There may have been a wineglasstul in it, but not much more. He poured some ol it on a napkin, telling Walter to sit down. He showed him how to takealong breath, and Jet him inhale it five times, Then Walter partly opened his eyes, which were film looking, anf said, ‘Is it out?’ Doctor Warren said, ‘No,’ and e him nine or ten more ‘breaths’ ofthe either, turning the bottle upside down on tho napkin and draining the last drop, Warren then puiled out the tooth, and had to pull so hard that I saw his hand tremble. He told Walter to sit up and spit, but Walter did not move, only gave one gasping breath, and his head fell over sidoways, 1 think he wus dead then, but 1 don’t know. Warren up again, and it fell overon the other jovea or spoke, and only breathed drawn, Warren then called his father and he sent hit for Doctor Daly and sent me for mother. As wo went out tho door together Warren staggered and struck me with tho door.” Dr, Westlake did not, he says, make ‘‘an application of the galvanic battery, applying one disk to the boy's spinal cord at the back of the peck and another over bis heart, trying to arouse him with a shock of elec- tricity.” 4 POST-MORTEM TO BR HELD. Young Dr. Wortlake’s statements about the affair have beon contradictury, He stated to the reporters on Saturday that he had administered “sulphuric ether,” while he told Dr, Daly that it was “yquib’s ether,” a well known preparation, manu factured in Brooklyn and known by its maker's name; to Dr, Solover hoe stated thal. it was a preparation of two thirds ether and one-third chiorolorm; vo Dr. Gilletta, the County Physician, he finally admitted that it’ was chloroform pure and simple. A post. mortem examination of the body of the deceased will be held, A BRAVE POLICEMAN. SHOT DOWN BY A BURGLAR WHOM HE CAP- TURES—A DESPERATE FIGHT FOR LIFF. Officer John MeDowoll, of the Twenty-ninth precinct, — was yesterday morning shot in the head and soverely | wounded by James Farrell, a burglar, whom he was in the act of arresting. Despite this he seized and cap- | tured the ruffan. The facts in the case aro as follows:—The ofilcer while on post at three o'clock yesterday morning | noticed that the baits on the side door of Bernard Courtney’s liquor store, No, 315 Seventa ave- | nue, had been forced of, and at once concluded that burglars were in the build ing. He opened the hall door and saw three | men examining several boxes of cigars, valued at $120, | which they bad stolen from Courtney's store. One ot | the men attempted to rush past bum, but Officer | McDowell struck him with his club and seized him by the collar, ‘Lhe burglar drew a revolver aud tired, | The ball struck McDowell bebind the left ear, und, | glancing round the skail, passed out on the right tem-= ple. The byrglar was preparing vo fire again, when McDowell, who was partially blinded by the blood flowing trom bis wounds, felled the would-be murderer to the floor. The other two burgiars during the struggle escaped. this time the poise of. the firing and the cries of MeDoweil tor help alarmed the residents of the neighborhood, and | UMcers Barrett, of the Twenty-nint illy, of the | entieth, and Wall and Kelly, of the Sixteenth pre- | cts, coming up, secured the burglar whom McDowell had in custody, and carried the wounded oflicer to the Thirticth street station. The prisoner, on being inter- | rogated by Captain Williams, gave bis’ natne as James Farrell, aged nineteen y: residing at No. 449 West Forty-tirst strect, and x no business. On his | | bemg searched a false mustache and whiskers were | found in his coat pocket, ‘The burglars 1eft behind | them a ‘jimmy’? and a braco-and bit.» ‘The pistol used by Farrel) was a seven-chambered — revolver. Farrell, who . 1s a low sized, — truculent Jooking ruffian, was yesterday brought belore Supermtendent ’ Wailing and had his picture taken for the ‘Rogues’ Galtery.”” When subsequently brought before the justice at the Washington Place Court Farrell was remanded, at the request of Captain Williams, who stated that’ Police Surgeon Satterlee pronounced officer McDowell's injury of a severe | character und that owing to fears of his having cou. | n ol the brain he could not be pronounced out of ger {or (uree or four days. The gallant conduct of li will bo brougue to the notice of the oners by the Captain at the next mect- ard, CLEVER CRACKSMEN. | HOW A BURGLAR DUPED A LANDLADY AnD | BROKE INTO A PAWNBROKER'S STORE.

The unfortunate steamer Amérique, an account of whose stranding at Seabright, about three miles from Long Branch, was published in yesterday's Hsnavp, as still lying fast where she struck, and opinions differ as to the provability of getting ner off. It will require investigation to ascertuin where the blame lies, if any exists. The vesgel is said to be well up on the beacn, but perfectly tight, Her cargo will be taken off by lighters, and it is hoped she may be floated off at high water, THE PASSENGERS BROUGHT TO NEW YORK, The steamer Jesse Hoyt met tho train at Sandy Hook and the rescued passengers were taken on board and brought up to pier 8, at the foot of Rector street, where a crowd of peoplo were waiting their arrival, It was nearly three o’clock when they came, and somo little time was occupied in assorting and identifying the baggage. Custom House officers were present and searched such baggage as had not already been ex- amined at Seabright. Sergeant Gastlin with a squad of men was on hand and preservea order as well as possibie, The passengers wero soparated into four classes, and the first and second were allowed to go ashore. Tho third and fourth classes, or steerage passengers, with their luggage, were transferred tothe steawer William Fletcherand taken to Castie Garden. Une of the passengers stated that no health officer had boarded tho vessel, and that the Jesse Hoyt did not stop at Quarantine on her way from Sandy Hook, This is an unusual and remarkable proceediug and most hkely an oversight on the part of the officers who came up with the passengers, The same passenger, speaking of the grounding of the vessel, stated that he wasaslecp at the time, felt no sensation when she struck and first learned of the occurrence when he rose in the morning. Mr. Cornell Jowett aod wile, who were the firstto venture in the lifeboat, leit by the eleven o’clock train from Now York, on the New Jersey Southern road, for Phila- delputa, All the passengers came up, the captain and the entire crow retaining on board the vossel, A g2n- tleman, who was at the scene of the wreck yesterday, says the steamer is lying with her side facing tho shore, scarcely ten leet beyond low water, and he was of the opinion that eveu when relieved of her cargo she could not be got off. She is still resting on her keel, but carecniug slightly toward shore, the num- ber of passengers ou the Amérique was iity-five, Thero were only three in the first cabin, twenty-two in the second and tuirty fn the third aud jourth or steerage, MOW IT HAPPENED, The majority of the passengers were in bed at the time of the occurrence, and first learned of it when culled in the morning. One of the passengers, who was up ul the time, says there was no snock when the vessel struck, aud that he ouly knew sho was aground because sho thade no headway. ‘The captain and pilot were together on the bridge, and be heard sume oue say the pilot did not know where they were, 1t was very dark at the time and the sea was extremely rougn, rocking aud shaking the vessel badly. The same pas: genger stated that he saw tbe captain and piiot tre- quently during the night, and they were constantly al their posts, The following statement was mado by Mr. Leon Goos, of New Orleans, ono of the Amérique’s passen- gers:—‘From the day we started (December 23) up to Saturday we had stormy Weather and head winds, On Saturday we took up a pilot trom pilot boat No, 21. ‘The weather on that day was splendid, ang we were so happy on that account that we held a meeting, at which the doctor and purser were present.

Between hal!-past two and three I noticed Ubat we were not floating. I woke up somo of my friends to tell them avoutit, Thero was uo excite- ment among the passengers, The commander bad not eon with us atthe entertainment. He was at his post and so was the pilot, Itwas very dark and raining hard when she struck, and the pilot told the captain he dia not know where he was. The vessel was then avout 100 yards from shore resting on her keel with her bow pointing to the land. Her wheel was kept in motion and she turned around, so that she lay paral- Jel with the shore, It was very stormy and the ves- sel went up and down, making a noise every time she struck like tbe discharge of acannon, We.had no fear, for we had the greatest confidence in our commander, | HOW THY LADIES HEWAVED. “'The ladies seemed to think less of the danger than the men, and they only laughed at us when we told them it might prove a serious accident. I bave been wrevked three times before, and I never saw better order and less alarm than there was on the Amérique. ‘Lhe captaty sent a boat to tuke a line astore and to seek information and hssistance, As you already know, three of the sailors were lost. ‘The lifeboat came to us at about seven o'clock in the morning, and in two hours allerward the passengers were all landed.

PROBABLE APPOINTMENT OF THE COMMIS- SIONERS TO-DAY—THE SIXTH AND NINTH AVENUE COMPANIES’ SUITS—GOOD PROSPECI8 FOR THE ELEVATED ROAD. It is understood that the Supreme Court, General Term, will to-day positively announce the Commis- sioners to be appointed under its recent decision up- holding the constitutionality of the Rapid Transit act, and indorsing the report of the Commissioners ap- pointed under such act recommending the Gilbert Elevated Railroad plan as within the scope and mcan- ing of such act. Tho presumption, of course, 13 that whoever may be appointed the case will be carried to tho Court of Appeais for final arbitration, and thus compel further delay in carrying out the rapid transit scheme 80 greatly desired by the public and so earnestly and persistently resisted by the horse rail- way companies, THK SIXTA AVENUE COMPANY'S SUIT, Meantime the suit of the Sixth Avenue Railroad Company against the Gilbert Elevated Railroad Com- ready in the progressive stages of an appeal decision of Judge Sedgwick, of the superior Court, adverse to the Elevated Railroad. Voluminous moditications and additional findings as proposed by the Sixth Avenue Railroud Company were yeaterday submitted to Judge Sedgwick tor bis approval. Theso additional findings cover more broadly the grounds of complaint set forth inthe original papers, ‘They de- @ it, 1Or instune, Lo be clearly stated as proven that the building of their road they e complied strictly with tho requirements of the Board of Com- mon Council except so far as constructing the road above Fifty-ninth street, which, however, became an impossibility, the resolutions of the Common Council having beea passed on June: 4, 1801, through subsequent appropriation of the land above Fitty-pinsh street for Central Pa: They wish the further fact to appear on the reoghd that they have expended a large sum in the buildinggand equipping of their road and in rolling stock, the buik of which, it is alleged, will be lost to them if the Giibert Elevated Road 1s built over its track in the manner proposed. Special emphasis is laid on the alleged fucts, which they algo wish to have incorporated in the findings, that the passenger platiorms to be built, every bull milo apart will, in addition to the supporting posts of the road, infringe materially upon lands vouchsaied to them in their franchise; that the building of the proposed roud will be nothing more nor less than a puolic nuisance and will do them far groater iajury than benefit to the public; that such an cleyated road would deter people from riding in their cars, and although not positively prevent their running, their cars would take away the profits of the road. They finally ask to bave facts recorded of danger to passengers, fright of horses, and insi:t also upon the oil drippings, scattering of cinders and other like disugrecabie and damaging features, in re- gard to which, as will be remembered, the most voluminous sestimony was offered. As thi stands all the findings of fact will doubt agroed upon within a few days, when, iy stated, the case will bo taken to the Court of Appeals. ‘THE NINTH AVENUE COMPANY'S SUIT. The suit of the Ninth Avenue Railroad Company against the New York Eievated Railroad Company is also beivg rapidly pressed forward for argument on appeal from a decision rendered by Judge Van oesen, of the Court of Common Pleas, before whoin the case was tried at Special Term. Everything indi- cates that this all absorbing question of rapid transit will reach a final. decision in the court of last resort within a very few weeks. Mcantime it only remains Jor the public to pationtly at the Jaw’s delays in the hope that all the legal obstacles thrown in the way of rapid transit will have been overcome and rapid transit reach a further stage than findings ot iact and become a fact in reality.
