8 THB OBSTREPEROUS MAJOR Sparr’s Lodging House. ——— ALLEGED BASE AVOCATIONS. Release of the Accused on Bail. The reputation of the gallant Major Corliss, who ch a lively row in a Second avenue lodging made houso a few days ago, would seem to be very unsavory Yndeed. ‘The Major's practices, report says, are of a | disreputable nature, and if the detective force ot the city desire to follow possession they may unearth something ot graver im. Dortance on which ous complaints than that preferred by Mrs | when questioned concerning the well where he was Sparr, in whose apartments he bebaved 80 | supposed to pene aignoraree his ieee me oes it , _| was “hunky dory.” The last word of this phrase ma eee a SR hic le i might bo supposed to bave some derivative signiticance lias solleited business for the Equitable Life | ota golden complexion, but Mr. Fagin only meant to Insurance Company, and a very poor opinion some per- sons connected with that corporation have of bim. After ceasing to serve the company bo is said to havo turned his talents into a peculiar channel. He became, 80 report says, a self-constituted movements of ladies who were being theatres ant other places of entertainment by gentle- men whom he suspected not to be their husbands, either in fact or in prospective. Atter acquainung bimeelf with the movements of such couples, he is understood to have used the information resulting from bis singu- Jar industry ina way that could best be described by the ladies interested, Some of his critics do not hesi- tate to call Major Corilss a blackmailer; others speak of him ina still worse sense, and all who were seen vy the writer yesteruay respecting his antecedents if anything added to his disagreeable characteristics, The respectability and reiirimg disposition of certain | of his intended victims, it is said, has heretofore saved him from publeity. Yesterday ove instance was related by a gentleman connected with a largo establishment down town of Major Corliss’ style of pursuing bis contempuble avocation, Being pressed for time on one occasion a few months ago the gen- tleman 1n question sent word to a lady to met him at the Fulton terry, that they might yo t her to tho theatre, ‘The Judy was at the ierry hous utes ahead of ber escort, and durmg that time was made the subject of the offensive guze of the Mujor, ACTING THE SPY. When the gentleman tor whom she was waiting, und who, as it bappened, knew Corliss, urrived they en- | tered a stage, the Major following. 1n the stage Cor- liss made various overtures to the lady, but so yuard- vdly ag to avoid direct offence, His conduct was an- noying, bowever, the gentleman says, and to ayord bim both got out of the stage near Tenth street and stepped tuto w hotel for dinver, They then proceeded to tne Fark Theatre, safe, as they supposed, from further annoyance, and. Were settling down ‘to the peaceable enjoyment of the performance of “Brass,” when, to their astonishinent, they saw Corliss soated just benind them. During the periormance he ap- proached the gentleman and suid, at the same timo Presenting the article, ‘Hero is a bow your lady lost off hor dress.”” ‘The gentleman thinks the Major pur- Joined this fram tho dress while in the theatre, and presented it, hoping to get a chance to speak to the lady, Fuiling in this effort he pursued the same course on the return to Brooklyn he had followed on the way to the theatre. He followed the pair to the ferry. procured a carriage and drove the lady nome rapidly, 80 that he could not follow and by ascertaining her ad- dress be in a position to aunoy her further personally or by letter,” In the spring ot 1869 Major George W. Corliss figured 1p the role of carpet-bag Sherif of Rankin county, Mississippi, He was then arrested on a charge of embezzlement and raising county warrants, waived examination, gave bailand left the State. ln November, 1875, he was, as he has been upto the tine of his urrest the other day, New York agent for the Jnsurance Critic, published in Chicago, During the month mentioned the Insurance Tunes ot this city, in answer to inquiries concerning his character, permitted him to speak for bimself through its columns, and he put a rather bold face on when so speak ‘The progecution against him im Rankin county, be stated, was instigatea by malico and political conspiracy. He bad acceyted the office of Sheriff at the urgency of frionus and contrary to his own inclinations, PLAYING CAPTAIN BOBADIL. When invested with his official authority he an- nounced, so he said, 9 the editors of the different | fournals of that district that he should make a po.vt of horsewhipping any of them who adversely criticised | bis method of discharging his duties. He travelled on horseback and addressed public meetings ot the colored population, impressing upon the: minds his determination to upbold their glorious Tights as {reedmen, and their admitted superiority to the white raco, He opened the town halla. He kept bis promise to the democratlc editors and whipped several of them, he says, adding in fis magnificent way, that “the unfortunate scribes had to take it all around,’’ &c. Now it appears the Major 1s an exag- gerator, so to spowk—in fact a notorious prevuricator, a big sort of humbug, Indeed, Mr. A. J. Frantz, pro: prietor and ex-editor of the Brandon (Misi does not pause in his analysis of the Major's state- inet sbort of calling, in italics, the ex-Sheriff “a thief, forger, liar, coward and scoundrel.” Ho says Corhss sought the oflice of sheriff! to give him an oppor- tunity to steal, and that he did not announce to the editors that he would horsewhip them, Mr. Frantz soys he was the only editor in town, ‘acd George never mentioned horsewhip to him.” He never made a speech to white or colored people in the county, and there was no Town Hall to open. He was not indicted through mative, Mr, Frantz suys, vor lor assault, but for embezzlement and rais- ing county warrants, “He took a $1,200 warrant,” says that gentleman, “on the back of which were in- dorsements showing that all bad been paid, except a little over $100, biackeued the face with ink, tore it in pieces, pasted yellow paper on the buck to cover up the indorsement, took it to his confeder- | ate, who was President of the Board of Police, | you’ a pew warrant issued for tbe full amount | of the face of the old warrant, and thus robbed the county of the amount that had been paid on the old Warrant, while bis confederate in villany kept the old warrant and sold 1t for 8500, He was arrested in August, 1869, charged with numerous offences, but was taken out of the hands of the civil authorities by Governor Ames, kept under miltary guard one Went ou his bond, when be lett the 8 quently a bill passed the Legislature releasing all Donasinen up tow certain date. and this released the Major's boudsmen; but the indictment stood against him up to the beginning of last year, and Mr. Frantz oflers to defray his expenses if he will appear vetore the Cireuit Court and stand his trial. When the Major lett the State of Mississippi, Mr. Frantz says, he took all the Sheriff's books with him, but that there is still Micient outside evidence toconviet him, CORLISS RELEASED ON RAUL, When the Essex Market Court opened yesterday morning Major Corhss, who had been coutined since Monday morning on the charge of croating the disturb: ance m the house of Mrs, Mary Sparr, No. 180 Second avenue, inquired whether any of his friends hud cailad. He sent jour or five letters to different persons by the prison messenger. His principal wish seemed to bo the procurement of bail, and nearly all the day messages were sent by him to Various persons in the city. Shortly vefore four o’ctock Messrs. Osborne and Sta! ford, Bis counsel, came into court with a handsomely dressed 1 whom jt soon appeared was to be Mr. | Coriias’ bondsman, Mr, Osborne said:—Your Honor, in the case of jor George W. ¢ committed for disorderly conduct, we desir ter bail {We are not at present in a position to offer feal estate property as security, but will make such an offer as doubtiess will satisly Your Hovor Aud fully ineet the requirements of the law. under- | sattittia : and that Mr. Corliss is fined $10 and committed in | Diphtheria, 0 alt of $1,000 ball for good behavior, We propose to | Membranous croup, ® ip the fine and to ph money until to-morrow afternoon, when we Will furnish real estate bari, The Court prono' d the offer satisfactory, and t strange gentleman paid the $10 tine and handed Judge Wandell ten $100 bills, Major Corliss was then brought up stairs. He recognized his bondsman by shaking hands with bim. , “You are disebarged,”’ said Judge Wandell, Corliss bowed a comprebensive bow which Major mobr: fajor Corliss, who Disturbed Mrs. of the bowels of the harmless earth,” in pursuit of bis avocation of sinking weils Ni Irvington abounds in wells, and DM: Fagin bas attended to all of them at one time or another. So it struck the joker to credit the little village, through Mr. Fagin, its profes- s:onat well-digger with the finding of @ vast amount of treasure belonging to the days os Br the Spanish gal- leons sailed the main, Accordingly it was set forth with due circumstance that Mr, Fugin was ning out a well which, to render the story more probabie, was located op “the old Taylor place’’-—a weil, too, which had been dry for the past twenty years, and which had probably been dug bait a century aga In due time the pick struck agan ething which gave forth 3 . | metaihe sound; then an tron box was discovered which contained another box, which inturn contained an imposing array ot } els aod of golden comm of the | realm of Spatu, Fagi @lation was duly represented, | the excitement of the village was pictured, and the ; claims of the Church to the sreasure trove were prop- erly urced. But the whole story turned out to be one | of fancy’s roseate pictures, | 700 GOOD TO DE TRUE. A HeRALD representative visited the viliago yoster- day und found it in perfect repose. The villagers had not heard of the imaginary spoils, the Church bad no golden dreams of gorgeous shrines, aud Mrs Fagin, wbo was found in her modest home, was more sur- prised than anybody to hear hi fortune, working at another well, as if ‘The hero of tho story was some miles away er hoge lord's good he had not already up the clews now in their to base other and moro seri- inspector of the escorted to a few mine | “There,” said the gontleman, “1 | ) Republican, | Your Honor’s bands $1,000 | turned up @ mine of treasure; and be certaruly ap- peared to be # man who, if bot averse to larger - | fortunes, was contented with the moderate ones whieh “his toi! had brought bim.

Then reverting to his recently reported good fortune, and endeavoring to Wace the rumor, be remarked Feflocuvely, “1b must have been Arcbie Hall,” a gentleman whom be was 00d enough to describe as a lawyer of a waggish turn of mind. MICHAEL CLANCY'S DEATH. THE BRUISES UPON A CONVICT’S CORPSE—-WAS THERE FOUL PLAY BY THE CLINTON PRISON KEEPERS ?—A CASE FOR INVESTIGATION. Michael Clancy was arrested by an oMcor of tho | ‘Twenty-seventh precinct police on April 16, 1875, charged with iarceny und receiving stolen goods, He was brought to trial, convicted anu seutenced by Judgo | Sutherland to four years aud six monthsin State ! Prison, He was taken to Sing Sing Prison in June, and | about a couple of months later was translorred to | Clinton Prison, where he died on Janvary 22 last. His body was sent to this city and buried by his wife in Calvary Cemetery. ‘The foregoing simple statement of the facts ia this caso does not give apy hint as tothe tremendous pos- | | sibilitios that the case covers, 1118 now charged and | beheved that Michael Clancy did not dic as was stated, of discase, but that in fact his death was caused by the | | continued il! usage that he bad received at the bands | of the keepers in Clinton Prison, A reporter of the Hxrato last evening visited Mrz, Clancy, the widow of the deceased, and from her learned the following, which is given ag faras possible in Mrs. Clancy’s own words :— After detailing the circumstances of the arrest, trial and conviction Mrs. Clancy went on to say:-~My hus- bana was transferred {rom Sing Sing to Clinton either in the latter part of August or the beginning of Sep, tember, Ido not remember which. 1 received letters regularly from him every woek, in which he spoke of various matters, but more particularly of the efforts | which | was making to get bim a new trial. He never mentioned anything about il] health. I received a | letter from him about ten days before his death, in which he said he was in good health, On January 23 | | received a despatch from Clinton Prison siatiug that my husband bad died the night befuro of pneumonia, and asking ine if I woud receive the body. I learned afterward that my busband had begged of them to send me bis remains. 1 replied to the despatch ask- ing that tho body be sent to me, which it was, an rived here by the American Express Company on Fri- day morning, January 26, I had to pay $20 for that. The boay was then taken to Mr, Winterbottom’s, the undertaker, in Spring street, where it was coflined, and then brought to my house, whence it was buried on | Saturday—the next day, I saw a number of bruises on his head and face. | One of the bruises was on the forehead just over the rigut temple. It was about three inches long and haif an inch wide. It had the appearance of being stitched together, und a piece of skin plaster hud been stuck over it, {hero was another bruise on the right | cheek near the nose, anotuer on the root of the nose, and another on the chin just anderthe lip. All of | these bad been covered with skin plaster. I took bold | | of his right hand as it lay across his breast in tho cottin, | and Lifted tt up and Was surprised to flud it very | limber, I then passea ey hand up his arm to the | elbow and found that the bone of the elbow had been | mashed. 1 was also told by those who saw bim nuked | as ho was being put in the coflin that there were a number of black stripes across his back, and that four ot h’s ribs were broken, 1 nad wed with my j counsel, Mr. Howe, for $400 to have a new trial for my husband, so that bis {nnocenco oi the crime charged to him could be proved. Mr. Howe said that i I couid give hin $250 ho would have my husband clear tn | three months and | could then give him the other $150, I gave bim the $250, baving to pawn some of my clothes to raise part of the money. Mr. Ho’ never attended to the case, but neglected my poor ha: | band and leit him to be en to death by those cruel | men in the prison, My husvand was a strong, hearty, healthy man and never was sick, and I believe he died trom the ill-treatment he received tn that prison. During this recital Mrs. Clancy’s tears tlowed freely | down her cheeks and her voice was broken wit emotion. The reporter then called at Higgins & ODay’s iron | yard in Washington street, ner Chariton, where | Clancy used to work. ‘It was there stated that he | was asober, honest, strong, healthy man, and that | the report of his death Irom pneumonia was ‘too \ thin,”? Mrs. Clancy had written to the prison to ask | the cause of the wounds, and the reply trom Dr. Ferg! son stated they were received by his falling off | bed. The gentleman at the iron yard saw the wounds | on Clancy’s tace und the stripes on his back, and averred decidedly that they could not have come from any such cause. At Wintervottom’s there was no one who could give any information in the case except the bare tact of the receipt and burial of the body. The doctor's certifi- | cate giving the cause of death to be pneumonia, which tested by a notary public, had been sent to the | Board of Healib. The question still is, Did Michael Clancy die a natural death, of “id he die from wounds ed at the bands of his keeper im Clinton Prison? | 8 worth investigation. Y RECORD.

Almost ¢ since the theatre was built the lease has been In ith; tion, aud every phase of the case has excited public curiosity anew. Une of these phases was argued bofore Judge Barrett in Supreme Court, Chambers, yosterday, aud it revealed a drama as intercsting in ite way as “Our Boarding House’? This new play might be called “Our Theatre, or the Mysterics of a Mortgage,”’ and if it could be put upon the stage with all the acces- sories 1t would doubtless “draw” as well as Colonol Sellors, the Hon. Bardwell Slote or any of the moro notable successes of the Park, HISTORY OF THE LEASE, ‘The Park Theatre, situated at the corner of Twenty- socond street and Broadway, was built in 1873 by Dion | Boucicault on leasehold premises acquired trom the New York Life Insurance and Trust Company in 1868 by James Purssell. Previous to Purssell's lease, bow- ever, the property was burdened by a court-yard agree- ment between its prior owners and tha owners of ad- joining property whereby all persons claiming under such prior owners were restrained fiom building upon the rather wild looking aud dilapidated: space in ‘Twenty-second street familiar to all frequenters ot | Broadway. This courtyard lease also contained a re- striction against any slaughter house, smith, shop, fur- nace, steam ongiue, brass foundry, rail or other tron factory, or any manufactory of gunpowder, glue, var- nish, vitriol, (nk or turpentine, or for tanning, dressing or preparing skins, hides or leather, or any brewery, distillery, or any other soxious or dangerous trado or business. No mention of this agreement | was contained in Purssell’s lease, In 1873 Purssell e: cuted a mortgage of the Jeasehold to Dion Bouctcault sor $20,000, which Mr. Boucicauls assigned to George W. Riggs, the well known Washington banker. In September, 1874, Purssell was evicted trom his posses- sion, and in May, 1875, the leasehold interest was adjudged to be sold at public auction, 4 low words will oxpluin this iransaction, Mr. Pursseli sub let the premises tu Boucicault for the purpose of building the urk Ibeatre, and gave a mortgage for $20,000 to cover part of the cost, Boucicault raised some of tne money hecessary by assigning this mortgage to Riggs, ana, | the speculation proving unprotitavie, Riggs suld tbe Jeasebold interest under judyment of foreclosure. THE HISTORY OF A MXCHANICS! LIEN. While the theatre was ‘building Michael Grosz and Frederick H. Grosz, doing business 48 Michael Grosz & Son, filed w mechanics’ lien ugainst that somewbat noted structuro lor $3,206 65 for work done and ma- terials furnished during its construction, That hen basa hisiory which is apt to frighten many honest mechanics who have faith in that wise provision in theu Javor known as the mechanics’ licen law. At the time this lien was filed there was due on the Parsseil-Boucicault mortgage the sum of $23,805 09, principal and interest; besides taxes unpaid, judgments unsatisticd, and otber liens and encumbrances, amounting inallto over $18,000, making, together with tbo amount due on the mortgage, the sum of.$41,800, which, with the amount due on plaintifl’s lien of $3,700, would have amounted to over $45,500, In order to make thom. selves safe 1) was necessary that Grosz & Son should buy in the property at the foreclosure sale il it taned toreach the amount necessary to cover their lien, The sale bec es Jaly 12, 1876, and the property was purchased by them for $42,000, they paying cash ten per cent of the purcbase money. A DISCOVERY, When this purchase was completed and Grocz & Son had already 1avested $7,900 in th property in Jaber, materials and money, It occurredto them to inquire {nto the utle, . A search was made, and tue court-yurd agrecment was revealed with all its alurming condi- tions, Thix discovery, naturally enough, made them | hesitate in completing a purchase made only to cover | their len but subsequently found to be burdened vy conditions which groatly reduced the value of the property. The court yard had turned out to be only an unsightly bit of wast land in a locaity where every inch of ground has an im- mense value, and it Was not certain oven ifthe theatre could be made to pay something like a retnun- erutive rental that they would not be compelled to pull it down under the restrictions of the courtyard agree- ment. To many minds the theatrical business 1s | “noxious,” and it might not be Impossible to prove to the satisfaction of a court that it is ‘dangerous. ’? Thereupon, the purchasers declined to complete tueir purchase, avd assigned as the principul reason for their refusal the existence of the courtyard lease, and the further fact that no notice of it was given at the sale. CEEDINGH TO COMPEL, + | When it became kuown that Grosz & Son refused to complete their purchase Riggs & Co. moved in the Su- preme Court, beiore Judye Brady, to compel them to consummate it. ‘Tis order was pralis: and it was | subsequently sustained tn General Term and by the Court of Appeals; by the latter on the ground that there being no averment that the conditions com- plained of reduced the valuc of the property Grosz & Son must go on and comple. It 1s here that the most singular fact connected with the transaction is re- veulea. While these appeals wore pending in the Gen Term and before the Court of Appeals Judge Brady issued an order for tho resale ot the premises, and it was advertised by Riggs & Uo., all the restrictions of the courtyard agreement being this time ivtroduced into the notice and terms of sale. Tots the plainuits in the present action allege was for the purpose, of preventing anybody from baying the property, and it was bought by the detendants thomselves ior $1,000. Then came the singularly modest request that Grogs & tue lirst and second sales, [tis for relet ngainet this demand that @he present proceedings are institated, and the question argued yesterday was whetber Grosz & Son are liable to pay this large sum, and to foricit besides the purchase money already paid, and the amount due on their tien, or whether they shail be re- leased trom itability under the resale and bave the purchase money already paid refunded to thom, THE DRAMATIC IN THRATRE BUILDING. In this story there 18 a ‘*plot’’ as striking and bril- hat in Sis 4 way as any that Mr. Boucicault ever conceived in his own brain or found onthe Feonch tage. Never before were the mysteries ’of a mort- gage 60 dramatic nor the sequences of a drama better | sustained until the climax was reached. Although dealing with the everyday affairs of life the dramatist went to work as if he was constructing a play. Pur- | posing to build a theatre, he sub-let Pursell’s leasehold and thes took bis lessor’s mortgage tor $20,000 to ob- tuin the money to do it with. The theatre was built, but its projector was nevag identified with its monage- ment, and the lessee, who had obtained possession ol it, for a long tine held it y. au unforseen sel of fortu- ttous circumstances, Nowwithstanding Riggs & Co, held the assignment of the mortgage which Pursell have to be met some day, nobody inade any provision unto the day of foreclosure. Pursell ovidently thought he getting rid of a theatrical venture in allowing hig leasehold to be sold to satisfy a mortgage, which he guve ap- parently for no better reasou than that Mr, Boucicault thought the aite an excellent one lor a oew theatre, It does not appear that he ever received a dollar of rent {rom the theatre, and there p98 been a popular tradition that he never did. He was not, however, 80 unfortunate as the thrifty mechanics who put thor labor and materials {nto the covstruction ot the burld- ing, and after paying $4,200 purchase money in trying to save their Hen found themselves $41,000 in debt tor their endeavors. THE YALL OF THY CURTAIN, Purseil’s discomture supplied a fitting “situation”? this new and original drama, but when the second act ended with the purchase of the leasebold interest by Grosz & Son it would have been impossible to predict that the curtain would finally fall upon a dénouement so ‘kable, In tryingto save $3,700 they have lost | Puerperal diseases Diarrhaal diseases. n Bronetitis, Paeamonia Heart diseases Cer os hisis pulmonale All disease: Bright's dise ot thi the Court, clerks, officers and attendants, and passed | Deaths by suteide i! outof the court, When the strange gentleman who Venths by drowning. . =| became surety for Corliss was asked jor his name be | Of the total number of deaths reported for the weck | and said to the reporter, “Tut it down Jobn | urred in institutions, 131 im houses containing | It was subsequently stated that be was a mer rfamilies aud less, 194 m tenement houses, 910 | | chant doing business in Grand street, near Broaaway c bis property to Mrs. Spare last evening, out, as advised, she refused to deliver it without aa order from the police captain.

The cry of ‘no bottom” is a cheering and reassur- ing sound to the crew of a vessel which is trying to claw off a lee shore in a gale of wind, butit comes with quite another meaning 10 unfortunate investors who Dave embarked their footunes in the shipwrecked coal stock, From all appearances the plummet of public opinion das not as yet sounded the bottom values of these properties, for to-day still deeper depths were found and recorded upon the Jead line of the price list. All three of the prominent antbracite properties started off at the opening on the downward track, un- der the depressing influence created by the selection of recet' to take charge of the Lehigh Wilkes- barre Company and the immuinence of a like appoint” menttor the New Jersey Central road. The announce. ment mado Jast evening that ex-Chancellor Willam, son had been named to the position of receiver in the latter compaby was prematore, but tbat such officer is upon the eve of being appointed is without doubt afacs. 1t is stated that Mr, Knight, the president, will best. meet tho wish of the stock. holders, but failing him that Mr. Jobn Kean, one of the New Jersey directors, will be placed ipcharge, A meeting of parties interested was called at Elizabeth this afternoon, and the probabilities are that steps will be taken to ask the Court for a recoiver before ad- journment. At the moment receiverships, witb the street, seem to be the punacea for tho ills of all suffer. ing corporations, ani the bears are as ready to admin- ister them where they think they will do the most good as though they were potions from a chemist’s shop, Thus to-day it was agreed that Delaware and Hudson required doctoring, and it was forthwith voted that a receiver was the proper medicive to given. The remedy, bowever, only aggravated tho disenge, for under the report of sucb intended action the stock sold rapidly down from 49 to 45, and only recovered later in the day to 47%, when the rumor was de- nicd, Delaware and Lackawanua suffered with its fellow cal cartiers to tho extent of 2h per cont at one time, though one-half of the loss was regained at the close, The most extensive trading of the day was to be met with in this stock, though of all the anthracite fancies it was the least affected by rumors. Alter tho stock mentioned, Western Union came in for the Jargest sharo of atten- tion, though transactions were compassed by the limits of 1 per cent, and the loss on tho vest price of the day was but a traction at the close, The mouchards of the board, who kindly took into other people’s busi ness, had it down in black and white that Mr. Gould wasa buyer and Mr, Sage a seller, and tat from 15,000 to 20,000 shares was the amount that parsed from one to the other, Tho telegraph stock is losing something of the sweet and pleasant savor which has issued from its favorable declaration of earnings and its quarterly dividends, under tho antagonism of the rival linowhich has further developed itself in replacing the Western Union Company over tho Ines of the Baltimoro and Ohio Railroad, and by the reported adbesion of the Califorma party to its fortunes. Pretty much the wholo list yiclded in strength to tho baletul influence of the coal properties, though the Northwestern stocks proved an exception m advancing against the current, During the last houra manifest improvement, however, set in under the leadership of | the chiet fancies, and some of the morning’s loss was | regained.
