WHO GOT If? | A Pertinent Question for} the Taxpayers. ROGERS & JONES’ “SETTLEMENT.” Thirty Thousand Dollars of the City’s | Money Unaccounted For. ‘There has been considerable discussion and specu- lation in legal and political carcles over the supposed true inwardness of the settlement made between Cor- poration Counsel Whitney, on behalf of the city, and Messrs, Rogers & Jones, the Ring stationers. It will | be remembered that of the $50,000 paid by the city Messrs. Rogers & Jones, according to the published statements, received ouly $9,000; Mr. West, their at- torney, $10,000, and Mr. Henry D. Felter, the agent of Messrs. Rogers & Jones, $1,000. The query remained, “What became of the remaining $30,000?" and popu- lar gossip answered it in various fashions, There were those who said that somebody in the Corporation Counsel's office got a fat slice of the money for his supposed influence in settling the affair; but. as will be wen further below, Mr. Whitney that any of bis assistants even knew of the settlement until it had been made, The general opinion was that there was something decidedly ‘crooked’ about the entire transaction, and that Mr. Henry D. Felter, who re- ceived the $50,000 and divided it, should give the fects to the taxpayers of this city, $30,000 of whose money was apparently taken out of the city treasury without anybody knowing what was done with it. It will be seen from the interview published with Mr, Felter that that gentleman still refuses to shed any | light on the division of the money. Hither¥o this refusal had been based upon the allegation that ‘all the parties were satisfied; but the following letter, received yesterday from Mr. Jones, renders this ex- The letter shows that Mr. y was willing to pay cuse no longer possible. Jones did not know the ci $50,000, and that he now wishes an investigation, The tollowing is the letter verbatim: — LETTER FROM J. JARVIS JONES. FAIRFIELD, Conu., Nov. 28, 1878. To THE Eprron or raz Heap Being one of the parties who might be supposed to have some direct interest in the Jones and Rogers case, and being at present in much doubt as to who divided the money paid to Mr. Henry D. Felter, and also being unaware that the city ‘intended to pay $50,000, I trust that the whole matter may be investi- gated by the proper authorities and this settlement of claims having an ‘honest basis’’ made clear to the public and to J. JARVIS JONES, of the firms of E. Jones & Co. and W. C. Rogers & Co. It was rumored yesterday that Mr. Jones would vue Mr. Felter in order to obtain an accounting of the missing $30,000, and also that steps were being contemplated by the Bar Association to set an official investigation of the matter on foot. A prominent member of the association, however, who was ques- | tioned as to the truth of this report, denied that such was the case, and saia that any five taxpayers could, under the laws of 1873, obtain an order from | the Supreme Court under which every official of the Corporation Counsel's office, Mr, Felter and all the other parties interested in the case, would be com- pelled to testify. He said the statute was compre- hensive, and that upon ‘the showing made in this e there would be no difliculty whatever in obtain- ing such an order from any Judge of the Supreme Court. THE CORPORATION COUNSEL SPEAKS. Corporation Counsel Whitney was again visited yes- terday and informed by the reporter that Mr. Jones, in @ communication to the Hega.p, had now receded from the position previously taken by him—that he was sutistied with the scttlement—and desired to have the division of the $50,000 investigated, Mr. Whitney said:—“I should gladly tell yon how the money was divided, but I am entirely unable to do so, as it was n my business to find out what was done with it after the city paid it. Some of the | uewspapers may have been under the misapprehen- | sion that Idesired to keep it asecret. On the con- trary, I should have no objection to telling you everything I know, and you may state thut nobody is under any obligation of secrecy to me. The fact is | that I know nothing about it. Mr. Jones cannot | Place upon we any responsibility for what has been | done with the money to which he may consider bim- self entitled.” A DELICATE PoRNT. “While nobody doubts your perf or y in the matter, Mr. Whitney,” the repe 1, “yet it has been hinted that somebody in the Corporation Counsel's office, without your knowl- edge, may have got some o¢ the money for his sup- posed influence in bringing about this settlement?” The Corporation Counsel's reply was clear and to the point. “You may say,” be replied, “that none of my assistants, and no person connected in | any with the Corporation Counsel's office, had the slightest concern in the mutter, or knew of the settlement until it was com- pleted. ‘The settlement was made solely and personally with me—of course, [ mean with me and the Comptroll fully upon the subject. make the settlement at $50,000, and thought it was the very best that could be done for the city. It now appears from a statement made by Mr. Jones in the Hexacp that he was willing to compromise the case for $10,000, and the ha-ty initre1 might be drawn that the city should have omised at that lesser igure. Ihave seen uo evi , however, that Mr. Rogers would have been satisfied with that. On the contrary, Tand the Comptroller knew that our offer to compromise at $50,000 had been standing for, I am sure, a week before it was accepted, and that only a short time before an offer to compromise at even a larger figure had been rejected by their attorney, Mr. Oliver W. West.” THE USCAL COURSE ADOPTED. ‘You had no direct deahngs with Koge Whitney’ “No, I never even saw them through the entire transaction.” “It has been suggested that you might have sent them Foor at the jail to find out at what figure they would settle ?” “This would have been an unusual course to adopt.” ‘You can suggest no way by which the disposition of this money could be ascertained, Mr. Whitney 7’ As far aa I am com T have satished my ts, and if the other side are not satisfied [surely net be held to blame. Everybody who knows sbout the claims would concede that it is the best compromise thatthe Comptroller and I have had the food fortune to make.’ Was not Mr. West's fee of $10,000 pretty large, Mr. Whitney I think not, in view of the magnitude of the litiga- tion which he lad carried on for five or six years; but | whether lar, small, it had to be satisfactory te him in order to secure the discontinuauce of th actions, aud as it was to be paid by the other side my only concern was to have him sutisticd, so as to whom I consulted very or Jones, get @ discontinuance. COMPTHOLLER KKLLY APPROVES. Comptroller Kelly was too busy to see the reporter Yesterday, but it was understood at the Comptroller's office that the Comptroller still stands firmly by the Corporation Counsel, who, he thinks, kas made an ex nt sett in behalf o: ity, and that he | was perte ed in settling with Mr. F i the \oyally authoriaed agent of Rogers & Jones, Those | who bad conversed with the Comptroller coufirmed this a« his opinion, and it coincides also with what bas been already published as coming directly trom the Comptroller . FELTER'S RETICENCE. Mr. Henry D. Felter wus found at his liquor storo on Broadway. As soon as the reporter announced his miission, which he endeavored to do with the utmost politeness, it wae manifest that Mr. Felter was deter- mined to the friendliest advances and to Femain as dumb as an oyster. “Mr. Felter,’ said the reporter, after introducing himself in «tue form, “1 have come in reference to the Roger-Jones affair.” At this announcement Mr. Felter’s brow became visibly clouded. “Lam sick and tired of it,” said he, abruptly; “1 have beard enough of it” ' And with this he gave the reporter 4 mayniticent view of the imposing outlines of his pon Kk. “But the Hmuatp and the get at the truth, Mr. Felter,” postulated, “and I am sorr you will have to hear more abont it. “Well, they'll have to get t wm where else,” was the resolute answer; nothing to say. lu ali kindness, Mr. Felter, are you aware that your silence Jays your conduct ‘open to misrepresen- lution in reference to your disposition of thest ing —— “td rter yeutly ex- , therefore, that "ite nobody thinks I've kept the retorted, quickly; “1 atistiod my clients, auy Ww: “But the Hermano bas received a letter from Mr. Jones intimating that be is not satisfied and calling for an investigation.’ ‘He is aman I wouldn't believe under oath, after “I ean't say any- Tean’t help it verecy to anybody /’’ ‘ou under » pledge of y anything.” u toll What you did with the money when thie matter comes to be officially investigated?” idou’t know whether I will or not.” Purther inquiry was useless, It was evident that Mr. Peltor wns compelled by grave considerations to preserve a strict silen 1k HRRAL Mr. Viiver W. West, the attorne & Jones (who is said to have ry $10,000 already out of the $60,000 and § out of the “tax- alle costs,” making altogether a lump of $15,000), ‘s “IMPPRTINENCE.”” Measra, Logers NEW YORK HERALD was politely requested to ai@ the Heraxp in this in- vestigation by answering certais questions. ‘t's none of the HegAnD's bysiness,”” said he, “T cousider this investigation a pigge of iMpertinence on the part of the Hiswat.” “is it not the people's money?”* 0, sir,” Mr. West veemenitly retorted; “this is private money, Ax $00n as the Inoney is used to sat- inty just claims it becomes private 210 ‘This question was argued at some length between the reporter and Mr, West, but the last nained gentle- mau insisted upon his own interpretation of “pri- vate money,” and that this was an affair solely be- tween “private parties.” “Will you answer me one question, Mx. W “1 will if E choose to.”” “Did you receive the $10,000 which you were said to have received ¥ ¢ ong not receive $10,000," Mr. West replied, with ile.

I therefore can give you no information.” ‘This ended the interview. ‘The reporter at the Comptroller's office inspected the two $25,000 warrants sud vouchers returned from the bank, and found that the warrants were in- dorsed “Henry D, Felter,” showing that the latter received the cutire $50,000, and inust personally divided it in the manner which is now being kept a profound secret, but which will surely be re- vealed by the official investisation that imust ensue. Pursuant to adjournment on Wednesday last the trial of Jucob D. Otis, a broker, charged with having feloniously received a portion of the bills stolen from the office of the Receiver General of Canada in July lust, was continued in the Court of Oyer and ‘Yerminer yesterday morning, before Judge Noah Davis and a jury. The prosecution was represented by Assistant District Attorneys Lyons and Bell and the prisoner by Messrs, Beach and Howe. Judge Davis hav- ing denied the motion of the counsel for the ac- cused to withdraw the case from the jury on the grounds that the indictment was defective and, even if valid, the evidence was insufficient to sustain it, testimony was then given on the part of the accused to the effect that on the 4th of July, when the larceny was committed, Otis was in this city a part of the day and the remainder at his home in Orange, N. J. It was also proven by other witnesses that smali bills were desirable in making purchases in Canada, and that it was nothing uncommon to obtain them in Wall street for that purpose. This was substantially ull the testimony given on the part of the accused. Some few facts were then testiied to in rebuttal as to the transmis- sion of a portion of this money through the Bank of North America, and with this the evidence closed on both sides. Mr. William A. Beach then summed up the case on the part of-the accused, and Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Bell followed on the part of the prose- cution, THE JUDGE'S CHARGE. Judge Davis in charging the jury instructed them, as matter of law, that there was no evidence to sus- tain the count in the indictment that Otis was en- gaged in the larceny, but on the contrary there was evidence against such a theory. As to the count charging him with having received the money know- ing it to have been stolen, the Judge reviewed the evidence at great length, pointing out those portions which it would be proper for the jury to weigh in their deliberations, and also the weight which they would be entitled to give to the absence of testimony by the accused on points where, in their judgment, an explanation on his part was possible. After being out some time the jury came into court to ask instructions whether, if they should tind that at the time the prisoner attempted to dispose of the property he knew it to be stolen, although he did not xo know at the tume he received it, they could him guilty as charged. The Judge, at the re- tot Mr. Howe, instructed them that under the 1 that at the time he re- ceived the money he knew it to be stolen; but added, in determining that fact they could take into consid- eration all the circumstances attending his mode of disposing of it. Alter some further deliberation the jury brought in « verdict of acquittal, and on motion of his coun- Mr. Howe, the prisoner was discharged from that vourt. He was still retained in custody of the United States Marshal, however, in the civil suit. ANGELL, THE DEFAULTER. An agent of the Pullman Palace Car Company sails to-day in the steamship City of Berlin, taking with him all documents necessary to obtain the surrender of Charles W. Angell, the absconding secretary of the company, who was captured in Lisbon, Portugal. Angell absconded from Chicago on July 24, 1878, carrying with him $114,000 of the company’s funds, He was last seen in New York on duly 26. Two or three detectives were put upon his track, among them Eddie Malloy, who was shot by The Allen, but the most diligent search failed to discover his whereabouts or to ascertain how he lett the city. On September 7 Detective William G. Elder was given full charge of the case, and on his advice photographs ot Angell were duplicated and attached to a circular describing the detaulter and offering $5. reward for his capture. This circular was printed in five languages and sent all over North and South America, Europe, Australia, Japan, China and the islands of the South Seas and Pacific Ovean, One of these circulars was sent in the end of October to the United States Consul at Lisbon, and through it he succeeded in We were both delighted to | capturing the defwulter and recovering about $30,000 ot the stolen mouey which Angell had deposited in ‘The arrest was brought to the attention of Socre- tary of State Evarts, who telegraphed to Minister Moran to make a request of the Portuguese yovern- ment for Angel's extradition. That government im- mediately acceded to the request, and the prisoner wae transferred to the United’ States Consul at on. CURIOUS WILL CONTEST. In 1 Surrogate Owen T. Coffin, of Westchester county, made a final decree in the matter of the ac- counting of George 8. Wright, administrator ot the estate of John T. Wright, deceased, of the town of West Chester, by which a remainder of about $420,000, comsisting largely of United States govern- ment bonds, was directed to be distributed to the heirs. The decree was taken on appeal to the General Term of the Supreme Court, where it was aflirmed in part and reversed in part. Auother appeal carried it on to the Court of Appeals, where the decree of the Surrogate and the jndgment of the Supreme Court were reversed on one point and the whole case mitied to Surrogate Coffin for a rehearing. How the rehearing should proceed is laid down by the Surro- gate in the following opinion, in accordance with which he began on it yesterday at White Plains :— THX SURKOGATR'S OPENION, idoved ix what is the proper mode of proceeding in the rehearing, the eo for the Sdminiateator claiming that the whole body of the evid received in the original hewring is to romain precisely as it sel om the ot je contends that, to sueh objec the same tan original 3 r party way see fit to raise her as if the toxti ed i ai that either party 1 am Little remarkable in every sense ® W different Judge from th iy prosided at the first trial and certainly before « diffe nt jury; Lence the necessity of re vhenring to the same foram p official who hoard the ease in th thereture we uo good end that is to be «ubserved ving over the same ground ing weeks in partie other an original heating (2 , BH), AM substance might be raised by a defen thine upon ing, even ugh it might ui w the whole bill (Harrison vs, MeMennomy, 3 ‘On # rehearing in that Court it was the prac also to permit The Chancellor © has and exercises « like mandate of un appellate court.

MISS MOLLIE FANCHER'S TALENT—HOW SHE TOLD THEY CONTENTS OP. PAPERS IN SEALED ENVELOPES-—PROFESSOR HENRY M. PALK- HURST'S STATEMENTS, To re Eprror or Tue HeRap:— Tn view of the recent publications with regard to the remarkable case of Miss Mollie Fancber I think it is time for me to make a statement in detail of the test of clairvoyance which I made by means of a sealed envelope in June, 1867, ‘These publications have been thus far made without her consent and against the wishes of Miss Fancher and her friends; and as one of her friends I shall continue to keep silence with reference to the physical aspects of the case, But I have obtained trom her permission to lay before your readers an exact statement of this one experiment, because it demonstrates, as it seems to me, so far as it is possible for a single ex- periment to demonstrate a general principle, that there may be a clairvoyance independent of ind rewling. I have before me the contents of the origi- nul envelope and two statements, one of which was written at the time, and the other, containing more Getail, prepared two years later at the request of her physician. These have been retarned to me for this purpose by Miss Fancher, who has had possession of them; and, as they will be much better evidence than my present recollection, I will give the two state- ments in full. ‘They are as follow: ‘TESTS OF MIND READING. ‘The accompanying enveiope aud tt tents were pre- the mode in which Miss Fancher reads un- yened letters or sees, to leuru whether it is through the mind of seme other’ person or direct vision, The smaller guyclope was Brat prepared. but mot being omtirely satin factory wis inserted av w test.

In order to test the mode by which Miss Mollie Fancher could read unopened letters, or see, whether through the mind of some other person or by direet vision, Lenclosed in velope a printed slip, so selected that no living person il by any possibility have any coneeption of its contents. It is probable that no human being had ever read 4 word of it, Sho first stated corrcetly se facts concerti writing within the envelope and known to me, being too sinall to be easily read without. «lu seemed reluctant to read the large print which was not known to me. [do not know how she read this writing, ex- cepting that it must have boen either directly or from my mind, She then stated that the printed slip was about “¢ I was not satislied; for although did not know by a not very re- have been there. “jurisdiction,” stat the word was there. She ing positively still_not completely sutisfied, for the same reason as next was yre. She then stated that the siip contained the figures 4,4." This [regarded ae decisive, for I had uo idea that there wore any figures upon the slip, and should have ssed that there were not. Tho letter was returned to me seal intuct, and was din my presence. The d “court” occurs four times, “jurisdiction” once, and figures “6, 2,3, 4,5," and no other figures, I regard proof as complete that she read the printed slip, so far as stated above, absolutely independent of all human knowledge of its contents.

Nearly ten years have clapxed since this second statement was written, and I have not yet been able to conceive any respect in which my test could have | been made more satisfactory. My former statements are so definite that I need add but little. At that time she could not speak, so that all that was expected or desired from her was so much of an indication of the contents of the printed slip as should be absolutely beyond gueasing or chance. It was for this reason that #he gave me the numbers in preference to words, because they could be easily indicated by raps. When she first stated to me that the paper contained those figures in that order, and I am not sure that she wax not imter- rupted and thus ented from adding the number 5, I could not understand how the figures could be there at all. Then it occurred to me that probably they were some simall figures put by the printer at the bottom of the bill. It was not until the envelope was opened, aud found to contain section 6, with the lines numbered 2, 3, 4, 5, that the idea occurred to me that the line numbers could possibly have been upon the slip. ‘The only other point that seems to have been omitted in my tormer statements is that I entered at the time upon my pocket memorandum book at her honse the contents of the envelope as she stated them to me. Then I took the envelope un to my office in New York, which the “friend” men- tioned in the second statement occupied with me, and the envelope was carefully scrutinized by each of us, and by another gentleman whom we invited to be present. I then communicated to them the contents as stated to me, and immediately after- ward opened the envelope in their presence with the result ly yiven. This, therefore, was as much an independent test to my friend as to me, for he knew it was impossible that there could have been any collusion on my part. This friend was Dr. Edwin Leigh, well known to educators as the inven- tor of the pronouncing orthography, which is now used in teaching chilaren to. read in all the public schools in St. Louis, Boston, Washington and other cities.

Yor myself, with my other knowledge of the case, 1 should not have regarded the sealing of the en- velope important ; but I wished the test to be such as not to involve the possibility of deception, and to be so corroborated by independent observers that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word might be established. Istill believe that in this I was successful, I may add that one reason why Miss Fancher and her friends have objected to the publication of any of the facts of ber case is that the result has always been that she has been immediately bexet by that class of persons who are so wanting in delicacy and common sense that, altbo strangers, they will in- trude w e home of k woman to gratify their own selfish ends, It true that inany of them Po fess ty believe that i can do her good; but if theys were honest in that they would go to her friends or her physician, and not make that profession the ex- ense for annoying her.

JUMPED INTO THE SEA, STRANGE STORY OF THE SUICIDE OF PATRICK LANDY, A SAILOR, WHILE ON THE VOYAGE FROM LONDON 'TO NEW YORK. Before the good ship New World, Hammoud mas- ter, started on her last voyage from London to New York, which veyage was finished on Wednesday last by her safe arrival in port, a sailor was shipped who gave the name of Henry P, Landy, It was not sus- pected wt the time, though one of the other suilors had known him before, that it would be his last voy. age, and that the “ordinary seaman” would turn out a determined and successful suicide, Yet before the ship wag a week out Landy had cut his throat with a razor, and that failing to bring him the fate he cov- eted he had jumped overboard, leaving a written ex” planation of his deed behind, in which he stated that his object was to deliver his soul to the devil. Landy was’ un ordinary. looking sailor, not entirely destitute of education, and in seeming a competent man enough for the discharge of the duties he un- dertook. He brought his chest on board, and unti) the ship was under way displayed no characteristics which seemed remarkable. It was noticed, however, on the way to the sea, that he was peculiar, His mates were surprised to see that he did not sleep, All night long, instead of turning in with the others, hé would stand erect with his head bent, as if busy im meditation or prayer, and when the others were on duty, busying themselves about the ship, he would stund in the same position, It did not attract as much attention trom the officers as might have been expected, for they were not shorthanded, but the ors noticed it and talked among themselves about it, agreeing with the verdict of the one who had known him before, that he was crazy. CUTS HLS THROAT WITH A RAZOR. 29, however, bis insanity assumed form, aud onc of the crew, renning on deck at about four bells in the evening with a blooly razor in his hand, informed the first mate, who was ofticer of the deck at the time, that Landy had cut his throat. Running below, the officer found him stand- ing in his favorite attitude of meditation, with the blood. Streaming down from a ghastly wound in his throat. “What have youdone?” usked the officer, sternly. “f've cut my throat,” gasped the man, showing no agitation. ‘There was no time for explanations, and with the surgical skill which forms the part of every seaman’s training the mate dressed bis wound. It proved not to be dangerous, although it was ugly, but, as there seemed good reason to suppose that the attempt on his own life might be repeated, Landy was put in jrons and confined in a small room, the door being lashed firmly. At first he made no remoastrance, but after beatae imprisoned for two nights he begged to be let out. “But if I let you out now,” said the mate, ‘you will only try to kill yourself again.” Oh, no,’’ said Landy; ‘I did that because the devil had such # hold of me that I couldn't help it; but I've made my peace with God since then. I have been a terrible sinner aud the devil got a terrible grip on me.” - After several such conversations as this Landy was allowed to be out on deck during the day, but did no duty, standing around like one in a all the time. ‘The captain had him put at some light work between the decks for one day, more to keep him trom brooding than anything clse, as he had no thought of getting # seaman's service from him. But, although a man was set to watch him, he did no work, but sat always meditating and answering nothing to the questions that were put to him by his shipmate. DROPS INTO ETERNITY. On the fifth night after he cut his throat a sailor reported to the officer on deck that the door of Lan- dy’s room had becn forced open and the lunatic was missing. The ship was searched .rom stem to stern, but for more than an hour without result. At length one of the officers, looking over the vessel's starboard side, saw Landy standing on a boring tackle near the water's edge, and holding on by the channels, some seven feet above his foothold. He had, so the mate declares, been standing there for at least an hour. As the boatswain, who discovered him, made an effort to reach down quietly wand catch hold of him, Landy looked up and said quietly, “What do you want?” “Come up here,” said the boatswain, “What are you doing down there 7" “me to jump,” said Landy. It was useless to argue, and the boatswain reached angrily. | | for him again; but just ax his hand was about on the muadiuan’s wrist the latter relinquished his hold, and without a word jumped into the sea. ‘The ship was going about nine and a halt knots an hour, and although she wore around at once, it wax found that to haul her up on the wind and yet buck so as to lower the boats to search for the wntor- tunate man would take fully au hour, and the search was deemed useless. In his chest was found a smal blank book with several leaves torn out, and on one of the remaining leaves was the following note, iu perfectly legible writing.

THE AMERICAN DAIRY. ; ra 12S OLD LIME ORGANIZATION AND GREAT DE- VELOPMENT IN LATTER YEARS--OPENING OF THE INTERNATIONAL FAIR. In the good old times, about which everybody is 80 tond of talking, but to which no one would return for any inducement that could be offered, the Ameri- can dairy was a very modest institution. Every farmer owned a long, lank cow, which picked up a pre- carious living in places where the fastidious bovine hope of the modetn dairyman would starve, and which yielded daily a certain amount of fluid, of which the basis seemed either chalk or indigo, the colors of these two pigments being about equally indicated in family milk pail. In required butter found it necessary to keep a churn and to twice a week, at an expense of muscle and patience which was utterly out of proportion to the quantity and In those days the “points” of a cow consisted of four legs, one body, an udder devoid of physical deformities, a head and two horns, though the latier were not always insisted the contents of the those days every family that the dasher thereof agitate once or quality of butter produced, upon us being necessary to a sufficient flow of milk, ‘Then the householder who did not own a cow but required butter had always to make an anxious tour of the nearest country stores to sample the surplus products of neighboring farms, Happy was she if she could find any at which her palate did not rebel, while in the winter months she was lucky if she found on sale butter of uny kind. As for milk, frequent unsuccessful struggles ugainst the inevitable taught every sensible householder to adopt the quart measure a8 the sole standard by which the lacteal fluid was to be estimated, HAPPY DAYS OF THE OLDEN TIME. Since those oe: 80 delightful to the romantic eye and so exasperating to those who were compelled to live in them, there becn a spirit of improvement abroad, and the dairy has not escaped the effects of it. od refusal to see any necessity for a change the Amer as finally taught that to obtain yood milk it wasn wary that cows should be better fed than if they were the “mere tramps and gleaners of pastures und stubble. It then beeame evi- dent that a tendency to bone and a tendency to pl ot rich milk were not consistent with cach other, so the stock of milch cows was gradually improved by an infusion of rich foreign blood. Then it oc- curred to the shrewd American mind that but- ter which cost in home labor fifty cents or more per pound and cheese made at home at several times the market price of a better article could with profit be replaced by the purchase of sim- ilar articles made by persons who devoted their en- tire attention to them. So “dairy tarms” replaced the family duiry, “creameries” succeeded to supply finer butter and cheese thau the most careful home cifort could produce, and the work of improving the grade of farm cattle was so persistently engaged in that whenever during the past few years the stock of any prominent breeder of milch cattle has been of vd for sale the bidders have been drawn not only from all portions of the Union, but alvo from the English and other forcign localitics from which the original stock was imported. IMPORTANCK OF THE INDUSTRY. To give some idea of the commercial importance of the American dairy we append a few figures. The yearly production of butter execeds 500,000,000 pounds, which at the lowest average price possible would represent more than $50,000,000, The yearly production of cheese reaches nearly 200,000,000 pounds, about two-thirds which is made in fuc- tories devoted to this special purpose and paying over $750,000 per year for labor alone, the capital in- vested in the factories exceeding $4,000,000, The quan- tity of milk sold in @ year exceeds 250,000,000 gallons, and as the proportion of this—about one-halt—sold in New York contains a large percen! of water the money equivalent is enormous, ‘the number of milch cows in the United States is nearly 10,000,000, ‘The demand of American dairy products for export alone reached about $10,000,000, which is not ex- -ovded by the highest estimate placed upon the value of our sea fisheries, although for the small propor- tion of those which are pursued in Canadian wate: the United States are about to pay at the rate of nearly half a iillion dollars a year. OPENING OF THE FAIR, ‘These facts give considerable interest to the pro- ceedings of the American Dairymen’s Association, which convenes on the 2d prox. This socigty pro- posed not only to display and compare dairy prod- ‘ts, but to exhibit cattle and many of the mechani- 1 coutrivances used in the preservation of milk and the manufacture of butler and chee It is cminently proper that this tirst exhibition should tuke place in New York, for this State not only ranks first in importance in point of dairy interests, but yicldy about a quarter of all the butter and two- thirds of all the cheese made in the Union, It also contains by far tne greater quantity of blooded horned cattle. Other States, Lowever, particularly those with large grazing facilities, will be largely d, und it is confidently believed t al interchange of views will lead to a « siderable increase in the business of dairy farming ax well as to un improvement of the average quality of dairy producta, ‘The fair will open in the American Institute build- | ing on Monday next.. It was decided yesterday that Mr. Franklin Edson, President of the Produce Ex- change, will preside at the opening. The States of New York, Peansylvan: Ohio, Iilino’s, Wisconsin, Vermont, Michigan and Kansus will be represented in the fair, and there will also be exhibits of cheese und butter from abroad. The stands for the use of exhibitors are almost erected and many country dele- gates have already arrived in the city. COMMISSIONERS ON TRIAL, The trial of the Kings County Charity Commis- sioners for misdemeanor while in office was resumed before Judge Gilbert, in the Kings County Court of Oyer and. Terminer, yesterday morning. Commis- sioner Midas, who was recalled, testified on the cross- examination that be knew when the purchase of $90 worth of drugs was made on March 30 that it was a case of emergency; witness could not remem- ber whether or not he signed the bill for the purchase of horse snd wagon as an emergency. Commissioner Storms next testi- tified for the defence. He swore that he did not think at the time he voted for the purchase of oil- cloth and carpets for his own and Commissioner Kessel’s offices that he was violating the law. There was an urgent need for them, and they we Eos. chase] as an emergency. He voted for the pure of oilas an emergency, because he understood th: it was needed to test works at once. Witness voted for all things purchased as emergencies, because they were needed immediately. Requisitions sent to the Board ot Supervisors in 1877 were not honored ae y. Commissioner Bogan testified that he did not do anything wrong intentionally, after which the trial was adjourned till Monday next. POLICE CHANGES. At the meeting of the Police Bourd yesterday Roundsman Meakin, of Inspector Murray's squad, and Roundsman Brooks, of Inspector Thorne’s com- mand, were promoted to the rank of sergeant. James A. Sloan was appointed on the force and assigned to duty in the Pirst precinct.
