A mile or two away is Rich- mond, where things are livelier; where a sheriff un- dertakes tho fulfilment of onerous dutics; where vil- Jage doctors attend to the numerous sick, and where such extensive edifices as a court house and # poor house rear their lofty heads. ‘THM DOLAN FAMILY BISTORY, In Egbertville a family named Dolan have passed a good portion of their lives. Over thirty years ago Micnae: Dotan telt Ireland and his family and came to ‘America to sgek a living. Hoknd been here a short time when his family followed bim. It then consisted of a wife and seven childreo, Michael and the family went to Staten Island, and since then they bave lived there, The older representa- ives have grown aged and gray, and the children dave advanced from youth to-middic age. The father, some years ago, died quite suddenly at the age of seveuty or over, Of the three sons and four dangh- ters one of tho former went to the war and was ever beard of; another is engaged in some part of tho South, and the third was the sole defender aud half the support the old man Dolan left his wito, The daughters also became separated and only two remained near tho mother, tho older marrying in the vicinity and tho younger hiring out in the neighborhood of Kgbertvillo, Patrick Do- lun, the son who remained with bis mother, is of medium size, largely built ana powerlully etrong. He worked us a laborer in tho neighborbood for a long timeand was known by the people around a Nard- genes, naturally quiet and even-tempered fellow, Sang, jo «never indulged in drink, was not at ali vicious in his tastes por vioient in bis manner, He was employed by Messrs, Ryers, Samp- kon and McKellers, of Egberiville, at diferent times, and when he quitted work, as be dd of late, he had saved some $600 or $70. Speaking and acting ina bashiul manner at most times, he continued tor years to live und do bis work well. About twelve yeurs ago he was noticed to queerly, And sinco then now and again showed signs ot oddity. Most probably the work be obtat opt his mind busy. Last October he left off working and with the idle life be led bis odd ways and eccentric actions became more and more noticed. Ail this time | he was living aloue with bis aged mother and always | acted toward ber with Jove anu respect. THE SON'S STRANGE CONDUCT. A week or two ago Mrs. Anu Dolan, the mother, Decame alarmec at the strange conduct of son, and sent to her unmarried daughter, whose bame was also Aun, to come on ad stay with ber, as she ‘was afraid to spend the days and’ nights with him. Tho daughter cai tothe mother on Saturday lust. Just about this ti Patrick bad become more violent than usval, and commenced to act in a most unreasonable manner, ‘The sister and mother, watehiug lis movements, saw Dim aimlessly wandering around the roads, going oat at night with scarcely any covering over him, and acting as like a ball-minded fellow as possible, Once he uudertook to break up tne ch touse them for firewood. The mother endeavored to hinder the destruction of the furniture and he pushed her against the stove and kept steadily at the work, in spite of her temonsirances. A week ago Mrs. Dolan was taken sick, aud received kind care at the hands of both ber children, the son often going up to see ber and tousk if she were feoling | well. But outside of this slight manitestation of his aifection he grew more and more foolish in nis continuing to break up the furniture, walkin ignways without fis hat, and passing hocrs in the wotus adjoining the house. On Monday, the 29th ul dangerous to spend any with the young man; so the sister went over to Fat Burry, the priest of the place, aud told him the wuole fiory. He listened attentively, and (Tuesday) he called upon the Dolans, Not to allow Patrick to suspect his motives iu call ing he first saw the gother, and thea camo down to the lower floor, where bo found the son standing in the middie of the floor, The young man’s answers to the questions asked of bim Were not sat factory to the priest, and alter endeavoring to qnict the tears of the (wo trembling women and preparing Mrs. Dolan for death, nov that be thought her sick- ness very serious, but in order to comtort the old lady, he left with the assurance to mother and daughter that he would have the son’s case investigated. FATHER RARRY'S i. Father Barry calied upon Justice Meeban, and told the latter bis fears that Patrick Dolan was notin bis right mind. The justice conveyed the intelligeuce to Des. Clark and Millspaugh, ot Richmond, aud they yaid a visit to the house of Dolan, women, and algo Patrick, and the conduct of the latter and the testimony of the two former couvinced them that tyc young feliow needed watching, This y told Meehan, and at seven o'clock on Wednesday evenigg on the affidavit of Dr. Mil!spaugh, a warrant was issued for the taking and confinement of young Dolan. the “night off? of the only Kiehmond supports. Justice tho two women thought it re time in the same house the next day oliceman the town of eehan did not know of the absence oi the officer, and waited til late tor tho. | urrival of that responsible person, as the custom is tor the officer to cull at the house of the Justice every evening. The night passed without a warrant being yssued, and belore daylight arrived the tragedy bad been acted. SCENE OF THE MCRDER. The house occupied by the mother, son and daughter is a small frame ene, with two stories, the ground and first floors. On the lower floor there 1 a small room, where the family passed their evenings, and which feems to have been the dining room and kitchen all in one, One flight of stairs brings the visitor to the sleeping apartwent—one large room, which je without door or other protection, fn the west side of the apartment, and around tue Toom are some chests, a litte furniture and some clothing. The floor is carpetiess. About balf-past ten o’clock on Wednesday night the dauguter went to bed with her mother, alter trying to persuade ber brother * to go to rest, and receiving a surly reply trom him. “Bhe bad ‘previousl/ askea Bim to come up stairs and lie down, when ho bad apswered her with a hasty ‘No,’ She brought down a wattress, which she Ind on tho * floor for him to rest on if he felt inctined. While sto and the mother lay in bed the young girl heard her Vrother Pateick moving restiessly about down stairs, He went out and then she heard no more of him till bout three o’clovk yesterday morning, when sho eurd him coming up the rs, Ho had been tm the habit of coming into the room to seo mother was foeling, #0 she did ot fear anything, The lights were all out, but the moon Was shining brightly, and by 18 aid the young man saw his way to the bedside, Without any warning he seized a bottle that lay on the table and advancing to the bedside, saying, “I have gotto end this,” grasped his sister by -the hair with one hand and struck her and her mother with the bottle in the other, The young girl loaped up and, wsbing her aged ‘mother before her, ihe wo moved down ihe stairs, The wild young feliow, having broken the bottle 1n bis crucities, now tore olf ® part of the banister and with this dealt his sister ter- fible biows upon the head and sboulders, She kept the aged motherrbefore her, and thus the two reached the door, Mrs, Dolan turned to close the door, bot her gon prevonted her 80 doing by pushing astick in the opening. Then he rushed out and struck two women with the stick he carricd, he sister now shricked and screamed aloud for xin, and, belloving that po further act of hers could save her mother’s life, fled to a neighbor's house. Patrick, kicking the prostrate body of his mother, leuped across it 1 pursuit of the flying girl. phe reacbed the house of a Mr. Curry, near by, upon seeing which Dolan retarned aud killed his mother. What that death «strugglu was can bo known only to the one who is now dead and to the murderer. Whether tho old age and ill health of the mother quickly brought on death alter a biow or two of the stick the son so flendishiy struck her with, or whether sho tought hard for Iite, only to die more terribly, eannot be said; but from her appear- ance itis sure thet the blows fell jastand were d elivered with almost inhuman strength, as, when the body Ms the deceased was found by the neighbors lying hat way between the fence ‘and the house, the fico Myre Jad open, the head braised and the countenance al- joad, with most past recognition, Leaving A oy wae Sar ing trom every part of Biree tots s04 ght bis sist Rushing back to bo Douse of Mr, Curry, and approaching the deor J They saw the two | ‘That night no officer was to be found, as it was | The bed lies | NEW YORK HERALD, — ee had reached tho top of the sta'rs him and threw Dolan down the 1 stairs.

DELIVERING THE MURDERER TO THR SHBRIFF. The party of capturers ved ut the Court House avout five o’clock, and the Sbherifl’s alarm bell was at once set ringing to give him notice of the comipg of the prisone: Sherif? Brown on — hearing ‘be summons hastily made bis way down to tho main door of ‘the building, On reachin; the sidéwalk he discovered a man, bound band ani lying prostrate on the sleigh.

D, Un the strength of this epistic, Sherift Brown placed, Doles tu enaef tnecella ‘adjoining the Court House. “I noticed a wild glare in the tellow’s eye when he ‘was brought in,’’ suid Sherif! Brown, “and at once concluded that pe was not in his right mind - asked him how he felt, ana he promptly responded, ‘Pretty well? [ also ginquired if he felt like taking something and it he was too tightly bound, ‘To each of theso questions he replied withoat any he tation, saying that the ropes wore loose enough and that be wanted nothing. No mention was mado by or to him of the deed he bad committed, He wus not at all excited and did not seem to comprehend that he nad done anything out of the way. I locked him up ina safe cell and placed two men without to watch him. The door of the cell was not locked, as 1 thought it possible that the keepers might have occasion to however, and about half-past eight «this morning a policeman, with a warrant, took him from here to the County Poorhouse, During his stay in the Court House he answered all questions put to him in a ratioval manner, but po al- | lusioa was made to tho murder, On Tuesday last,’ continued Sheriff Browv, “Father Barry called hero and stated that he had been visiting Dolan’s house, aud that the son was crazy and bad said that he was possessed of the devil.” THE MANIAC CAGED. After boing escorted to the County Poorhouse, Dolan was put under the care of Keeper McCormick, ina coil with a guard of two men, The iron bedstead was removed from the ceil by Mr. McCormick, who feared that the cgazy man might injure himself with some part of it. During the course of the morning Mr. McCormick communicated to the prisoner the reason of his arrest, Dolan received the statement that he had | killed his mother without any perceptible chango in j his look or demeanor and continued to stare aboat him ina vaeaut manner. Alter a short time he said that he knew what be bad done, but conducted bim- sclt very quietly, During the day he ate only a Iitve bread and drank a cup of tea, but manifested no appre- ciation of the situation he was in, In the even- ing a HeRaLv reporter called at the Poor- house, and was chown into tho presence of the maniac murderer, ‘The reporter beheld a man of medium hetgh | dark complexion, hair and whiskers, the lutter c short and matted, w.th a low, slightly receding fort head, dark blue eyes, which gazed vacently through the iron bars, creat broad shoulders, « massive chest, and arms and limbs that would excite the envy of a prize fighter, In anawer to an inquiry, Dolao said ho felt. pretty well.’ A conversation then ensued between him wad the reporter, Dolan looking steadily al space anu replying only alter great besitauon and evident attempis to collect his thoughts. His answers, were generally given dogzedly, though contusedly, and he contradicted bimself several times. ‘The gist of this interview with the madman was as follows: — AN INTERVIEW, WITH DOLAN. Q Doyou remember being in any trouble last night, Dolan? “A, I dou't remember anything about it Q Whats the first_ thing you remember this morn- ing? A. I remember being 1n the cell, Q Who brought you there? A, They tied me and brought ine in a sleigh. ~Q Do youremember being on the sleigh? A. Yes, Q. Do you know you bit your mother last night? A, Yes;-they told me so to-day, Q Is that the only way you know? A, Yes; 1 don’t remember it. | Q How did you hither? A. With a bottle, on tho heaa. Q. Where was that? A. In her room. Q. Then you do remember hitting her? A, I know 1 | hit ber with the butte, | @ Whatdid you dothen? A. I pushed ber and my | sister down stairs and out of the house. Q. With what did you hit your mother tho second time? A. Partof the banisters. Q. Was that outside? A. Yes, Q. Then you recall hitting her more than once? A. Lremember hitting her on the head a coupie of times. Q Why did you strike ber? A. I don’t know; she never did much to me. | Q What did she ever do to you? A.

That helped to make me mad, and I’ve been out of work fora long time,too. My mind was confused last night. Q. Did you know what you were doing? <A. I knew a little, + Q.

The empty gaze was continued and the answer “Yes” | was heard, | “Do you feel sorry?’? In the seme imperturbable tone the poor wretch replied, “Yes, I’m sorry now.’? | Satisfied that Dolan bad, at best, a very vague idea | oi what he was talking about, the reporter left the building. DR. CLARK'S EXPERIENCE, | Dr. Ephraim Clark, who has practiced on Staten Island tor over torty years, tells tue tollowiug story of | his experience with Dolan:—On Wednesday aiter- | noon I went, in company with Dr, Millspaugh, to » | Dolan’s house, to make a test of the man’s sanity. Mrs,’ Dolan was sick in bed, and on arrival at. the house, {I went into the kitchen, on the first floor, to converse with Patrik.

While I was | in the room he was constantly lookmg about as it dh g to see something ho could use to attack me with, asked him if he would cut somo wood for | me, ana be said he did not do any more work. I in- quired it he had taken any medicine lately, when he | replied that he had taken none tor xix years, and thon j he became quite excited. He said he was ‘going | down to hell to find tho devil,’ Dr Mills paugh and | went to the Court House, As 1 jeft the bouse with two of the neighbors, Mr. Quinn and Mr, Curry, I said to one of them that he ought to have 6 known to the authoritics Do- Jan’s condition before, and he said that that was so, The other one said that be had heard nothing ot Do- Jan’s derangement until the previous night.” THE DAUGHTER'S STATEMENT. A daughter of the deceased woman informed tho re- porter that the family had come to America about | thirty years ago; that Patrick avout iwelve years ago had become silly and had so remained for several weeks, He exhibited no violence during this period | except once, when he threatened to injure his mother. Before and alter that time he was very affectionate to his mother and sisters. The father died ‘about eight years ago. On the night of the murder she was | asleep when Patrick came up and caught her by the hair. ‘There wus a heavy ot] lamp in the room, and he used this on the mother. When she was pushing ber | motuer down the stairs he had hold of her clothes, and while thus detaining her with one band he broke a part of the boagpng with the other. Her mother fell down outside, and then sne ran, while he followed her, She saw no more of her mother anul tho Jatter’s death, TUE INQUEST. Coroner Dempsey hold an inquest in tho caso last evening, During the proceedings Justice Meehan tes- tified that he was apprised of Dolan’s derangement Tuesday last, about noon, by Fatber Barry, who sald he didn’t think it safe to leave the man alono with his sick other and sister, Who were.atraid of him. “A justice cannot issue & warrant of arrest without a | Sworn affidavit regarding the culpability of a person; Itold Father Barry I would see to Dolan’s case; sent word to Dr. Milispaugh, physician to the County Poor House, asking him to'mske an examination of Dolan and report (o me immediately.

He remained passive, | MURDER AT BAY SHORE. THOMAS J. POYNTZE'S SUDDEN DEATH—VER- DICT OF THE’ CORONER'S JURY, On Monday morning last the quiet village of Bay Shore, L. I., was startled by the repert that one of its well known citizena, Thomas J. Poyntze, had died very suddenly some time during the previous night. The Coroner was notified, sud on investigating the matter discovered that ne Dad been murdered, The post-mortem showed that he came to his death from a wound inflicted by some sharp pointed instru ment, piercing the body between the first and secoud ribs, about half an inch to the left of tho breast bone. ‘The instrument passed entirely through the aorta avout one and one-halt inches trom tts junction with the beart, causing internal hemnorrbage and death was probably made by F In sMape and length. TH MURDERED MAX’S MOVEMENTS, Mr. Poynize and Joseph Kennedy, also of Bay Shore, on Sunday aftornoon went to the house of W. W. Boland, near Thompsop station, where they drank three.or tour times, but Mr. Poyntze did not become: intoxicated, Leaying there ey across the street to a house occupied by Nathaniel ‘aus and veg twking with them nearly w quart ot liquor, ir Kennedy and Mr. Poyntze retired for tho night. Mr. and Mre. Evans mained about the house until about midnight, when Mrs, Evans claims to bave gone to the bed and dis- covered that Poyntze was dead. Mr, and Mrs. Evans were examined by tI Coroner’s jury on Mon- duy, and aguin yesterday, when they contra. dicted considerable of the evidence ‘previously given by them, They seemed inclined to leave the crime shrouded in as much mystery us possibie, telling the jury that it was their piace vo find out about it Suspicion pointed strongly to Evans as the perpatra- tor of the crime. Poynizo was sixty-one years old, wat widely knowa and beloved by all and ha e reputa- tion of being one of those fortunate individuals who had not a single enemy in the world, At the time of leaving home on Sunday he ig supposed to have had trom $15 to $25 about his person. He spent very little during Sunday, and but five cents could be found on bis person after death, VERDICT OF TH JURY, Tne Coroner’s jury brought im a verdict that de- ceased came to bik death by a weapon in the hands of Nathaniel Evaus, and Evans will be arrested to-day. THE CHINESE TRAGEDY. r to have re: HOW AH FUNG'S ENEMIES BURIED HATCHET. Ab Fung was his name, and as he Jay upon the tablo in the dead house at Bellovue Hospital, yesterday, he presented a specimen of tomabawk bandiwork that might have elicited the admiration of Sittmg Bull and his brother experts. To the uncultivated mindof the crvilized spectator, howover, the victim of the Chineso THE tragedy at No. 17 Forsyth street, last Sunday morning, was a sickening object. Three ghastly wounds were exhibited io his head. Two of them wore certa:nly tatal gasbes, the third probably so. Ono started on the right side, just ‘abovo tho angle of tho eyo, and extended deeply up- ward some three inches in length, through the trontal bone into the brain. Another reached clear across the face on the Jeft side nearly from the tip of the nose to the ear, crushing through the cheek bone. These, from their depth and the energy with which they wero evidently dolivered, were probably the first blows, dealt with fierce rapidity .upon she head of the sleeping victim before he had time to arouse {rom his fatal slumber. The third wound was also on the left side of the heag, just above the eye, and extending in a curved line several inches upward and outward through tho frontal and temporal bones, dealt with a swinging and not go well airected aim, the victim having probably by that time been aroused and the vindictive energy of the murderer somewhat ex- hausted. Tho cut hero was not clean, tho bones being crushed inward and pressing upon the brain, to remedy which the operation of trepanning had been performed by one of the hospital surgeons, There were also two or three slight abrasions on the right side of the head and faco, apparently from misdirected blows daring tho last struggles of Ah Fung. °@n being awakened by the attack the latter had ifstinctively thrown up bis arms to ward the savage blows which were being showered upon him, and both were hacked between 4 wrist and elbow as if a tyro butcher had been practising upon them. Inall fourteen deep gashes were visible upon his arms, and three of these involved compound fracture of both bones. The little finger of tho right hand was almost severed, hanging only by a slight at- tachment of skin. That Ah Fung = should have lived from Sunday morning until five o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, after being so thor- oughly dissected is evidence either of a phenomenal ter ity of vitality or of a special adaptation of the Celestial physique to provide for the omorgencies which the homicidal instincts of the race render among the possibilities in the life of a Chinaman, Whatever tho character of the woapon employed, the width and depth of the wounds provo it to have been a most tor- midable one. PREPARING YOR TUE FUNERAT. A post mortem examination was held upon the body late yesterday alterovon by Or, McWhinney, Deputy Coroner, aasisted by Dr. Stiliwell, house eurgeon of the hospital, who pronounced the cause of death to be acute meningitis, with softening of tho brain sub- stance, The Coroner’s Jury will yiew tho body this morning, alter which it will be removed by his compa- triots, who intend to give their departed couutry- man a ‘send off,” alter the most approved Chinese fashion, before depositing his remains in sume place until they can be shipped to the Flowery Kingdom— an essential to the. comfort and repose of every defunct “John.” Oriy two persons called to see the body. One of these was Ah Sing, a gentleman who jg 1D the boarding house line in Baxter street, and who, being « person of some consideration among his fellow countrymen in this city, was detailed for the pious duty of looking after the body, securing for it the proper obsequies and collecting subscriptions for deiruying the expenses of the same. ‘he other callor was a rather good looking American girl of about twenty-tive, with whom Ah Fung had been living for some time. She had a wholesome dread of uewspeper men, ‘was not inclined to be communicative, and eluded the most sagacious endeavors to discover ber name and present abode, She at tirst claimed to bo the wife of ‘Ah Fung, but afterward admitted that she had no legal claim to that title, Sbe 1s of mediam size, has black hair, blue eyes and clear complexion, and, though ithterate, is quick-witted, sharp-tongued and never at a loss jor an answer or a plausible evasion. ¥ She said thar fh ung had been avery good friend to her and her child; that he had made good wages in his avocation of cigar maker and iad been liberal in sharing it with her. Whether in her regard fur Ah Fung was she more disinierested thon the average of her cluss or not, she certainly showed a rogurd for his memory, and waited about the hospital and in the dreary dead house trom eleven o'clock until four, in anticipauion ef the arrival of the Coroner, so that she could tuke charge of the body and have it respectabiy cared tor. She seemed to anticipate with considerable satisfac. tion the Chinese wake which bis brethren intend holding over the body, with ten candles at the ead, one tall candle at, the feet, and the assemblage of ‘Jobns’ smoking and drinking in honor of deceased and recommending him to the kindly attention of ‘Joss.’? Her outward manifesta- tion of griet was. not, however, very touching, and whea she was interrogated in regard to sowe pighly colore statements sho had made to a re porter just after the murder, she replied with @ chuckle, “Oh, I was just ‘kidding’ him to deatn.’”? As to the alleged robbery ot La Wung, the supposed perpet tor of the crime by Ab Fung, she depied- vehemently that there’ was any truth in it, but that the latter had won the money ‘from La Wung in one of tho gambling encounters of which the Chinamen are so juordinately fond, and that it wasn ‘square deal.” Ah Fung, she said,ewas smart enough to hold on to the money when he got it, and bis continued = retasal to give La Wung a chance to win lis money back aroused the deadly en- mity of tho latter and his Irlends, who, in the girl's pari ¢, hud ‘had it in’? for poor Ah Fung ever since. WHERE THE FUNERAL I8 TO BE HXLD. From Ah Sing notbing could be obtained, Like most of his countrymen, When any subject but trade 1s broached, he pretended to understand less than he did. Ho had no opinion about the tragedy or the real cause of ft, and all that conld be elicited from bim was that Ah Fong was to haven ‘pooty funel: A visit to the scene of the tragedy and viein- ity in Forsyth street last night was scarcely more satis- factory. WHERE ARE THE WITNESSES ? On inquiring among the Chinamen for Mr. Tuckaha, who ovcupted rooms in the house with the parties, no jess than ~~ three individuals were pointed ont to the reporter as bearing that distinguished cognuomen, but none of them knew any- thing about Ab Fung orthe murder. One of his com- patriots, bearing a name which is simply unpronounce- able and beyond the resources of Western orthography, did acknowledge, however, to some _‘littlo kuowledge of the matter, This indiviaual re- lated something of Ah Fung’s antecedents, and it appears that he had quite a history. Ho was thirty-three years of ago, had been in America since ho was nineteen; had passed thruagh various grades of Chinese advancement, trom worker of “leavings’’ 4n the California mibes, laborer on the Pacific Rail- road, and “washee”’ man in Chicago; to the dignity ofa fabricator of cheap cigars in New York; he had lived some time in New Orleans and had left there to mourn bis loss @ Caucasian bride and several hall- broed children. As tothe alleged robbery, ibis ex- ceptionally communicative Chinaman exhibited a diplomatic indirectness worthy of Taileyrand, ‘sporce Ab Fung steal La Wang bim money,’ ho oxplained im fluent pigeon English, “vou Jikee catehce? All light. Sposee him gamblum? All light’ You come funejal??? THE KNIFE AGAIN, Eaward Brannigan, of No. 79 Pike street, had a dim. culty with an unknown Italian on the corner of Madi- son and Oliver streets yesterday morning, and tho latter mabbed him in the lett breast, The wounded \ man Was sent to tho Chambers Street Hospital, where his burts were pronounced eight FRIDAY, FEBRUARY HAULED OVER THE COALS.

The fact is quite apparent that the democratic Aldermen do not stand in the best odor in the Department of Public Works, Some of . them cannot certainly. follow the footsteps of Chester- field in demanding places for their multitudinous fol- jowers im the ‘deestricks,” Last year, when Mr. Campbell was confirmed, many of thess Alaermen Jauded him to the skies, but now a change has “come oe’r the spirit of their dream,” and they see the Com- missioner of their own creation 1n a far different light, THR ATTACK, At the regular meeting of the Board yesterday Alderman Tuomey presented the following preamblo and resolution relative to t his subject:— hereas by section 114 of chapter 335 of tho Laws of 2 known as the charter of the city of 18 provided that any person holding ofice who # torm of office accept, bold or retain any o fice of nonor, trust.or jumeut under the nation Sta yy RoveTiment, except the offices of cominissio erstorthe taking of bail, or register of any court, or the office of notary public or commissioner of deeds, oF oftice of National Gi |, shall be deemed sherevy to have va- thie im under the city government, and i two city or Sra 3 othees; and sme xet It 1s provided that the annual | to be paid to the heads of depurtmon in full for all services rendered b to the city or county in any cxpacity tho evident intention of these several provisions being shut the persons holding office uuder the city govern mens should honestly devote their whole time and atte: tion to the duties of their sev: offices, and tor which time and attention 40 do the respective sul luw shonld be a full compensation; and whi Gampbell, the present Comminsioner of Public Work: as such Comminsioner, ry ot $10,000, of President of the Consolidation Coal Company: formance of the duties of which position he also r 4 position whiott he has contin: e of his appointment as Commissions Works, und to which he has been re-clected ry of Public at an aunual election bela since bis appointment as Gom- minsioner of Public Works, and the duties of which pusition Raulre the suid Allan Cuimpbeil to. be at the ofide ofthe suid Consolidation Coal Company trom ten o'clock in the until four o'clock in tue afternvon, and xlso re- tx the suid Allan Campbell to frequentiy vistt Bal d other places at # considerabie. distance trom t! ¢ ereby cuusiix his absence from ti city for several duys consecutively on many ocensior thas in several instances It bus Le te apors requiring the signature of the U ‘urks to Baltimore and other places to be Rigned by him; and wheres the suid Allan Campbell has recently appointed to the important office of Deputy Commissioner of Puolic Work, wn inexperienced youn who w whoily unfamiliar wth the workings of this importunt department; and whereas the neglect of the Commission Publie Works to properly attend: to, she. a of his oftice, anu the in- ability of the De ner of Pubiic Works to dis. the du of Commissioner of Pubite ri therefore Kesolved, That the Mayor be and he is hereby goauested ‘and directed to inquire whether the suid Allan Campveil is now holding and actempting to discharge the duties of the two uttices of Commissioner of Puulic Works and. of Presi- dent of the Consolidation Goal Company, and if ne finds that the dui of both of said the position of President 0 : id Allan Campbell negivete or retuses to resign either the one or the other of those two positions, that the Mayor tuke the nec- essary mei prescribed by law to remove the said Alian Campbell trom hie position as Commissioner of Puolic Yorks, FATHERLY DEBATE, Alderman Tuoiwney supplomented his resolution by stating that he considered it a duty which he owed to the public to bring the condition of affairs belore tho Board. At the time that ho voted for Mr, Campbell Commissioner of Public Works, it was understood that the gentleman would resign his place as President of tho Consolidation Coal Company. Since that period, howevor, instead of resigning he bas been re-clected to the presidency. It was impossible for him to ate tend proporly to the Commissionership of Public Works and his other position. The Consolidation Company did not pay him $10,000 per annum for doing nothing. Mr. Campbell bad taken a fresh young man, who had previously received only $900 a year as clerk, and made him Deputy Commissioner. What did this per- son Know about reservoirs or anything else connected with the departments? He Knew more about whiskey thun about wator, The departmont was in a state of domoratization, WHISKEY AND WATER, Alderman Cowsng vigorously defended the character of Commissioner Campbell. He thought he was tho right man in the right piaco, The resolutions just presented were a direct stigma on Mr. Campbell and should be stamped out there and then. He doubted the right ot tho Board of Aldermen to accuse a public official to be fonaer of whiskey than water. Alderman Tvomsy—I reforred to bis understrappor, his deputy, not to the Commissioner himselt. Alderman Cowixg—Well, | even question the right as to a deputy, df this temperance question was dragged in it also might affect some members of tho |. Board. (Laughter in the lobby.) YON RIBMLY ON THE SITUATION, % After some furt! debate Alderman Morris moved that the resolutions be placed on file, Alderman Bryan Rixnty (excitediy)—T! man has not devoted two hours every six days to the discharge ot his duties as Cominissioner ot Public Works. When Alderman Keenan aud mysell called at the office a fow days since we were treated in a most insulting mauuer by one of the clerks. When the Bourd bad under con- ‘sideration the question of coufirming Commissioner Campbell the son of that gentleman bad made the re- mark around the City Hall, ‘I wonder if this Irish rabbie (meuning the democratic members) is going 10 dictate who shail be Commissioner of Public Works.” As to the question of the politics of Mr, Campbell Alderman Rielly also said:—*“He never voted tho democratic tioket in bis life until 1872, and bis son, Thomas Cooper Campbell, was nevor a democrat until elected to the Assembly in 1874 by democratic votes.” ‘Alderman Cowing said that some remarks dropped by the Romnarate members had given the keynote as to reasons for this attack. Mr. Rielly had been called un Irishmeo or something clse, which he looked upon un insult, This was no piace to ventilate private injuries, i Alderman Rigztty—[ must say that Iam an Irishman, but a poor representative of the Irish race. (Loud ap- plauge in the lobby). Alter some further brilliant sallies of this descrip- tion the resolutions were referred for consideration to the Committee on Public Works, BOARD OF ALDERMEN, The regular weekly meeting of the Board of Al- dermen was hold yesterday afternoon, with Mr. Henry D. Purroy in the chair. DEPOSITING STREET REFUSK, A resolution of Alderman Morris suggesting the de- posit of ashes and stroet aweepings ia the estuary that separates Ward’s from Randail’s island and the marshy land adjoining theso islands was laid over for future consideration, It is claimed that this work will add more than 100 acres of land to the real prop- erty of the clty and gavo an expenditure of over $100,000 per annum. ‘The resolution concludes with a Fequest that tho Prosideat of the Harbor Commission- ers, presidents of the Departments of Police and Docks, Counsel to the Corporation and General Joon Newton mect at Police Headquarters to consider the advisability and practicability of the proposed measure, STRERT CAR BS. the Mayor to report as to railroad companios in arroars in payment of license fees. He suggested that if tho Aldermen bad not power in the premises legistativo aid should be solicited, M'CARTHY BOWLED OUT. THE COMMITTEE DECLARE HIM IN CONTEMPT AND SUSPEND HIM FROM FELLOWSHIP. The Universalists’ war, waged between the opposing factions of the Rev ©, P. McCarthy and the Rev. E. C. Sweetser, waxes warmer day by day. Mr. McCarthy intends to band together his friends and organize for defence. The Keclesiastical Committee on Fellow. ship, Ordination and Discipline terminated their Proceedings abruptly, as published in yesterday's Heratp, on Wednesday afternoon, announcing that they had reached & decision, on their own position in the case, which would be sent to the parties con- cerned, This decision was received by Mr. McCarthy yesterday, and 1s as follows:— Whereas, the Rey. C. P, MeCarthy, in tho hearing before the Committee of Discipline of the State of New York, did, by threats of civil suits against any who might. in'his opinion, testily wrongfully against him ; and whereas he has already commenced such a suit agninst Rey. E. C. Sweetser, founded, in purt at least, upon the fact that Mr, Sweetsor has, in pursuance o} vis for matters in which he believed him guilty MeCarthy thereby obstructing tho processes of the committee by intimidating witnesses and threatening all who take any part inthe inception or trial of this case of discipline. We theretore decide that his position is one of dis- loyalty and contempt for the ruies and officers of the Convention, and the Convention itself, and involves a dereliction of bis duty as a clergyman in our denomi- nation. And we do for these causes suspend him trom fele lowship until the next meeting of our State Conven- ton, ASA SAXE, EBEN FISH®R,, G ‘ HE .

M'CARTY AND HIS ‘TEXAN BUSINESS—A TELL> TALE SIGNATURE—M'CANN’S CAREER. ‘The police are upon the track of McCann, the Jame Partner 19 the Hand diamond robbery, and it is sus- pected-that he will be in custody ere the sun sets to- “night! The opinion ts growing more firm among the police that Mrs. Lynch is the true and only victim, and that Hand was in tne plot to rob her. However many people wonder at the Indy’s apathy in the matter, LOOKING AFTER “COLONEL M’CARTY."” 11 was stated in the Hxnaip yosterday that ‘Colonel Willtam Fits Charles McCarty,” who declared himself not implicated in the $15,000 diamond rubbery, had very bad antecedents, It was stated that ho’ had been engaged ip the organiza- tion of a fraudulent miming corporation in Chicago some years ago, by which he would, but for an accident, have *‘annexed” about $150,000 of honest people’s money; and another little episode in his carcer was alluded to, namely, that he some five or six years ago begged a free railroad paes from Louis- ville to New Oricana for himself and wifoon the ground that he was too poor to buy a ticket, and that being furnished with a passage on a sloeping car he charged the conductor with robbing him of ‘a large sum of money and a diamond ring belonging to his wite. Tho conductor would not submit to be frightened into paying hush money, but allowed himself to be ar- rested, When the true character of Colonel McCarty was proved he was, of course, released. These things tho Heap yesterday declared had been done by the gentleman whom Mr. Curtis, his counsel, declares in and out of court to be a high toned gentle. man, ond who himself expresses his scorn for those who could think it possible that he would “consign bimself to future infamy for a paltry $10,000,” and declares that ho 1s possessed bf landed property and deposit of £20,000 is London banker's, To- day {t remains tor the Hxxanp to declare that ‘Colonel William Fitz Charles McCarty,” ‘who has spent most of his life at Paris,’’ is ideutical with *W. C. McCarty.”? who, in 1870, with a “Co.,”” managed the ‘Texas Land agency”? at Galveston, in that State. FAR APART LINKS JOINED, A reporter of the Herat established the identity tn the following somewhat curtous manner:—He learned that in 1869.8 man named McCarty, who hailed from Galveston, Texas, where his father kept un auction store or something of that kind, was in the habit of calling heer ‘at the office of the Louisville and Nasnville Railway Company, then located at No. 309 Broadway, and there writing and transacting busi- ness at the desk of his friend, J. W. Rockwell, an agent of the company. McCarty at that ume described bimself as tho nt of tho Erie Raliway Company at the South ana was on intimate terms wit! his present follow prisoner Bates, who was then tho Seuthern agent of that railway. Those two, with Rock. well, boarded in a house in Twenty-fourth stroct and were constantly together. Learning these facts tho reporter proceeded to the new office of the Louisville 1d Nashville company, at Nu, 363 Broadway, yester- lay, and thore got a clew to several persone who knew McCarty. “{ knew bim too well,’ one gentlema was the biggest kind ofa fraud. He was al\ ving free passes over the line and borrowing money which he frequently forgot to repay.” SOME TELLTALE LETTERS. In the course of his investigation the reporfor met with Mr. Warren H. Burgess, connected with the office reterred to, and irom him learned that the title of “colonel? was raised by McCarty {rom that of “Heutenant,”? to which only be was entitled, Then the scribe found Colonel Samuel B. Jones, agent of the Louisville and Nashville Ratlroad, who succeeded Rockwell in office, Mr. Jones clearly remembered McCarty, and had a distinct recollection of his slocping car “strike” on theconductor. The reporter stated his belief that the man referred to was tdontical with the alleged diamond thief, and Mr. Jones ex d willingness todo what he could toward establish’ tho fact. He remembered having received, some six years ago, a letter from the agent of the line at Now Orieans in reference w tho sleeping car vusiness ard warping the New York people aguinat McCarty, The reportor expressed his anxiety to seo tho letter, ond anxiously = inquired whether there were on file any autograph letters from McCarty _begg! aases, as the bandwriting passes, might estabiish his identity, Colonel Jones could not tell that, but was willing to look. Accordingly he led the reporter down.a dark stairway into the collar un- der the railway office, Hero in a dark corner wero piled up a number of packing boxes, one of which was selocted and dragged into a spot lighted by the grating in the sidewalk, Anaxe wag at hand, and in less time than it takes to tell the lid was chopped off, expos- ing to view # heap of lotter books in which the corre- spondence of the company for 1870 was copied and filed, ‘A diligent search failed to reveal the letter from Mr. King, but sandwiched 1n between telegrams aud official orders were found carefully pasted in, probably by mistake, two personal letters to the then agent, Rock- well, dated respectively April and June, 1870, and signed In a bold running hand, “W, C.’ McUarty,”” These were written upon paper with the printed leiter head, 2 Orricy or W.

A brief conversation elicited the fact that Rockwell was supposed to be connected with a railway some- whore ont id the Indian country, whither he went somo years ago. AN INTERVIEW WITH TRE COLONKIA Armed with tbe letters the reporter took bis leave and proceeded to the Tombs, There, through the courtesy of Warden Quinn, he permitted to enter tho lower corridor, where ne stoud while oflicer called through a spenking tubo to a keeper on the third tier to tell McCarty that a representativo of the press wished to see him. The prisoner replied that no ‘would see no ono under any pretext. “Tnat’s what be says to everybouy,’” remarked the officer. “Several persons called yesterday, bat he would not see them.” “Teil him I have some information from his friend Rockwell,” The message had hardly beon spoken ero tho rapid clattering of fect upon the narrow iron stair announced that the prisoner was descouding. He probably ex- pected to see Rockwell in person, come to visit him in ‘the disguise of a reporter, and therefore gazed with somo surprise on the HeRxALD man who greeted bim. Tho prisoner’s face ussumed a suspicious Jook ashe turned his eyes inquiringly to the floor and said, ‘Oh, what did you say his name was?” “Rockwell, “Rockwell?’? he repeated, as if trying to recojlect tho name, “Rockwell? I don’t know him. What did you want to say to mo?” “There a story about certain fraudulent land transactions at Galveston, Texas, in which you aro said to figure in a vory bad light, ' Have you anything to say on the subject?” McCarty changed color, but said more doggedly than before, “I don’t know anything about such things. 1 nover lived in that city at all, but always resided sn the northern part ot Texas,” « “And you never carried on the real estate business there or elsewbere ?”” ; Lam a large land owner, however. ”” “Possibly,” sold the reporter, ‘it has relerence to another of the same natne as yourself.” The prisoner’s face lighted up at once, and he replied boldly, “That must be it. “I tell you what,” ho added, with growing effrontery, jnspired by the hypothesis, *tyou had better not pub- lish any such story.” “Ifyou willgive me your autograph to comparo with the signatures to certain letters written in 1870 by the Galveston McCarty it would sottle sho ques- tion.” “No, no,” said McCarty, nervously; “I can’t give you my name. I can’t write—that is, my counsel will notallow me to hold any communication with any ono, Goodby.” *Wait a minute,” said the reporter, showing one of tho letters; “is that like your signature ?”” The prisoner turned red and white by turns for a minute as he saw the document, and then boldly re- torted, “My writing does not look anything like that at all,”? and McCarty motioned tothe officer to show him back to his cell. Proceeding to tho Court of Special Sessions the re- porter ae the statement the prisoner jo when goes nature, “W. F.C, MeCai simile of the nigh ature to the lotters, only that the additional init wi troduced, giving to the now common 2ame of Charies the aristocratic prefix of Pitz,” With this clew to work upon It !s hoped the detec- tives will soon learn enough about the doings of the gentioman who “has lived so long in Paris” and belongs to the Huritogbam Club in England, THE CANNY M’CANN, Some Curious stories told by the police in regara to the lame MeCann who absconded wiih the di Although erippled by the loss of a log When a boy, ho maouzes to shuffle about with a cork substitute quite briskly.
