A resolntion was yesterdsy offered by Alderman Sauer, in the Board, giving permission to the Third Avenue Railroad Compeny to use “steam or other improved motive power of motor for the traction or propelling of their ears on their road or eny portion of the same, in accordance with the provisions of chapter 482 of the Laws of 1873." The matter waa referred to the Railroad Committee, who will meet at two o'clock on Monday next to hear the advocstes and opponents of the scheme.

The Constitutionality of the Board of Apportionment. Patrick Leary, of No. 52 Oak street, seems to have become thé alate on which is to be worked out the legal problem whether he is everybody's or nobody's tenant. His own preference, he says, is to be the latter, but he is not opposed to paying a fair rent to one well defined landlord whose right there are none to dispute. Charles T. Dana, claiming to be Leary’s landlord, but whom the latter was in doubt sbout ac- cepting owing to rival claimants to the same posi- tion, brought proceedings before Judge Clancy, in the Second District Court, to have him ousted for non-payment of rent. On the return day Mr. Leary put in scounter affidavit denying that Mr Dana was his landlord, by reason of the fact that he had conveyed the property to one John Shaw. On the trial Judge Clancy decided in favor of the alloged landlord, and Mr. Leary, under protest, paid the amount of the rent into Court, and ite clerk turned themoney over to Dans. Now comes John Shaw, the other claimant to landlorship, and in the Marine Court commences proceedings against poor bewildered Leary to turn him out of his home for non-payment of the same rent which he had paid into another court in obedience to its decree in favor of another. This case came to trial before Judge Goepp, Mr. Henry ©. Dennison representing Shaw, and Messrs, Sweeney and Fletcher representing Mr. Dennison, on the part of landlord: No. 2, the 01 genuine one, he claims, moyed for judgment in fav: oF of his client on the ground that there was no counter -affidavit filed on the part of the tenant. This motion was opposed by Mr. James Sweeney, representing landlord No. 1, on the ground that nie client, as the alleged owner, had the right to put in h affidavit, the statute giving such right to any either in Poweasion oF clatming possession of the promises question. Mr. Dennison insisted in reply, that the statute ap Fr rmorsd ‘to, and re the right to file a counter it, to @ tenant im possession or one claiming possession, and thus raise the question of landlord and tenant; otherwise, he said, a ques- tion of title would be ieee sae and id etaaey would lose jurisdition in a this char- acter. Judge Goepp aga thi we of the question, but decided to receive the aflidavit on the part of Mr. Daaistitiee Merabe tunes might be placed in a position to compel Mr. Shaw, his rival, to prove his landlordship of the premises. ‘The trial then proceeded, and on the of Mr. Dana there was offered in evidence the judgmont of Judge Clancy in his favor. After » long argument between counsel as to the admissibility of this evi- dence, Judge Goepp ruled it out. Proof was then submitted on the part of Shaw of his ownership by deed from the grantee of Dana. It is the validity of the title of grantee which Mr. Dana seeks to dispute, and he asserts that Shaw had knowledge of its inva- lidity when he took the title under which he now claims ownership; but evidence on this be ruled out, on the ground that sporsess proceedings the Court could not deckdoa weestion +4 to the validity of title. At the conclusion of the testimony Judge Goepp, al- i | thongs intimating that upon the testimony before him he thought he would be compelled to Cater favor of Shaw, said he would y entry of indy: ment a fow davs, so that the defeated parties might have an opportunity to take such furthor legal steps as they might deem zenomeary £0 fo protect themselves in the rights on which bagi ope “Begorra,” says Leary, t! mye Bint tenant, as he heard the probable Lanlgre4 “one landlord is eno’ in these hard times,” and he departed, consoling him- self in the meantime by humming in a sort of ironical tone the couplet of Tom Moore :— Qh. how happy I'd be with oither, Were t’othor dear charmer away. Or words to that effect. © BOARD OF APPORTIONMENT. There has already been fully published in tho Henaxp an account of the proceedings instituted by John L. Townsend in an assessment case, as trustee, involving the question of the constitutionality of the Board of Apportionment. The case finally went to the Supreme Court, General Term, where a decision was given yesterday, Judge Brady writing the opinion, and Judges Davis and Ingalls concurring. The fol- lowing is the opinion, sustaining that of the Court below, holding the Board to be constitutional:—“The very able argument of the plaintiff in this case has received dye tion, but it failed to con- vinee the Court that error was committed by the Court below. The question presented is one affect- ing the power assumed by the i Foamy for many years, and which has not been se: assailed, and one with the exercise of which we would not Aye fere save upon the most satisfactory reasons, 80 con- clustve, indeed, that there could be no doubt of the of such @ course, The views » it is true, be elaborately stated, but the restit mrust be tn harmony with those briefly the learned Ju: at Special Term, ertnak the distinction cote nie tween the del ion of the power of taxation for State =f pt fuibn te ~ aires Kho Jade and ox o} m a8 conclusive, it ror judgment IMPORTANT TO CONTRACTORS. ‘The General Term of the Supreme Court handed down yesterday, among other decisions, an opinion in the suit brought by Margaret Manning, administra trix, against John Hogan, being s case in which the plaintiff sought to hold the defendant, who is a con- tractor, personally liable for the death of ber hus- band. Manning was killed by the falling of a scaffold in the Museum of Natural History, in Central Park, in 1875, while at work. On the trial the plaintiff got 8 verdict of yor It appears that Manning by one pong 4 who at the time had_s contract with the Ay do the plastering work on the Museum; but John Kk. Dos Passos, counsel for the ed that Mahoi person, in view ob the a amp fact that all the money under the contract was, a fow days after the contract was to who all the men on the job and even Mahoney himeelf a salary, nen pene ap pede |e from the city; that by these acts he in law principal in the work an third and ‘made Mable for the defective Id which holding that under all the facts Hogan was liable, | ee vipal, for not having ® sufficiently secure scaf- FIGHTING FOR HEAVY STAKES. Morris EK. Jesup and others sued Andrew J. Carne- gie and others to recover $250,000 gold on fifteen notes aggregating that amount given by defendants in 1872, Plaintiffs say defendants organized us the Davenport Railway Coustruction Company of lowa, but did not comply with the laws of the State, and that this made them lable to be sued as partners. A defence was put in that the lowa Legislature, by, a spocial act, cured any defects as to the incorporation, so that platatae wore deterred from suing defendants as and that besides plaintiffs had accepted certain ool: laterals. en ane _ Sree nd “nt a vol Shy for 306,206 37 gold, and on exceptions heard in the Su- sae Court, General Terin, the iguent was afirmed, Now tour defendantse—Carnegic, Preston, Smith and Candless—want to ap} to the Court of Appeals and to bave judgment stayed, and soine of them, not able to give the seeurity required, applied to Judge Speir, in the Superior Court, to limit theirsecurity, Lhey say that Thoman A. Scott was one of the defendants; but the auit wae discontinued against him voluntarily by the plain- -~ and tant ‘jiliam it. Tosleck, now a defendant, is t of the St. Nicholas Gank and was aot poy and if the j ment hat been divided among the latter there would be more defendants, The four named defendants want to have the value of the col- laterals deducted from the judgment, and thet they only give security for their proportionate share of the remainder, so that they can appeal. Judge oe) denied the motion, saying he has no power to grant it; thet defendants should give an undertakin tull and divide the amount, SUMMARY OF LAW CASES, Application was yesterday made to Judge Van Hoesen by Mr. Charies Strauss on behalf of the creditors of Hermann Lesser to remove Max Bowski as assignee of the estate. It appears by the petition that a general assignment was made by Lesser in 1876 to Max Bowski, aud that the latter has ever since acted as assignees and executed the trust An investigation shows that the bond of the assignee was not filed withih the statutory time, On this point the Court held that the assignee must be re- inoved, and ordered an account wituin five from date, when @ successor will be appointed, tw bilities of the estate are some $25,000, ‘The young man, Robert J.

SAMUEL PINES TRIAL, To rire Eprron oy THe Henan :— In your issue of to-day, under the heading, “A Sensation Spoiled,” it is stated in regard to the trial of Samuel Pine:—‘It was developed yesterday be- fore the Court and jury that Sniffen’s affidavit impli- cating Pine had not been’ read to the Grand Jury, but its coutents were communicated to the jurymen by District Attorney Baker. This, counsel for Pine claiined, was in itaelt sufficient to invalidate the in- dictinent, for no one could tell what the facts « tained in'the affidavit had suffered by being passed through the memory of the District Attorney. No such state of facts existed or was developed on the trial of the special pica. It appeared by the testi- mony of the clerk to the Grand dury that a witness before that body, after being sworn, offered to pro- duce au aiidavit of Sniffen accusing Pine, which the Grand Jury refused to receive, but permitted lim to testify to the substance thereof from memory. ‘Lhe only question raised on the trial by the special plea was as to whether that aMdavit was read or the substance thervot 6 to the Grand Jury, here esterday Rosa Roland | any statement whatever to the Grand Jury. pnb hd not, BOF was he present, at ae me h ens is ', nor now gave his testimony ia be 2 Jury.

BUDE CONDUCTORS, | To tHe Eprror or THE HERALD :— Have the directors of the Metropolitan Elevated Railway any special reason for not numbering their empiloyés? If not, by doing sol think they would provide a remedy for the boorishness exhibited by some of theirconductors toward the travelling public, and especially ladies. On the evening of December 7, and again on pe morning of the 9th, I was witness to the refusal of conductors to permit Indies and children —— at the station, aud being carried in one case from Twenty-third street to Fourteenth street, and the other from Bleecker to Eighth street, In both cases the ladies were standing at the door ready to alight before the train stopped, but the con- ductor, before sey could leave the platform of the car, st his train and said they must goto the next station.

COMMUTATION ON THE ERIZ BOAD. ‘To rme Eprron or the Hrraup:— Referring to your Rutherford complainant signed “Commuter,” in the Hxnaup of Saturday last, in re- gard to commutation rates on the Erie Railway, per- mit me to state that he did not go farenough. We do, of course, as he says, want cheaper rates; but we ‘also want the company to issue their tickets in books of a hundred, giving each holder extra time to uso the tigkets in case he becomes disabled. In this case he would pay for what he er only for such, ‘This is (as any one can 6ce) 01 ir weet inUTiimmronp. BOARD OF OF HEALTH ESTIMATES, Commissioners Chandler and Janeway, of the Board of Health, appeared before the Board of Apportion- ment yesterday in relation to the estimates of their dopartment for 1379. Dr. Chandler made an carnost protest against reducing the figures as submitted by himself and colleagues, He advocated the appoint- ment of an inspector of meat, as a lorge quantity of diseased meat was offered for sale in the city. The milk inspector, he said, had undoubtedly saved the lives of hundreds of infants, in preventing the sale of an impure article. Kach year over fourwen thousand infants died in this city, ‘The milk inspector was paid $600 a (oy The most important work acoom- bare by the Board was the inspection and cere of the sick living in tenemeut houses during the sum. mer, Last summer fifty physicians were employed in this way, the good health of the city being mainly due to their efforts. ae over one hundred and fifty thou families. The lowest possible salaries were paid to these officials, Dr. Chandler asked for $214,000, That was the smallest amount with which they could sately protect the health of tho city, and if tho estimate were reduced there would be less sanitary inspection, and # reduction of the ainount of vaccination would also take place. If o great hg emer shonid break out such @ mistaken policy as that of reduction would be ft onee per- ceived. Philadelphia, according to estimate made at the time, had lost $16,000,000 through @ smallpox demic several years ago. Dr, Chandler also said they wanted a sanitacy engineer to look after the sewerage and drain pipes, so as to protect the citizens from typhoid fever. ‘The board will mvet on Monday, when tho esti- mate for the Department of Public Works will be cousidered. MARX'S ASSAILANTS, William Davis, ® milkman, aged twenty-four, of No, 126 Chrystie street, was arrested by Officer Quigley, of tho ‘Tenth precinct, on Thursday night, on @ charge of complfcity in.the assault on Philip Marx in Billy McGlory's saloon, No. 103 Bow ery, on Saturday night last. The officer brought Davis before Judge Duity, at Essox Market Pot , Court, yesterday, and told ‘His Honor tuat the pria- oner had admitted striking Marx on the Govanion bes ferred to, Davis way held to await the result of the wounded man's injuries, A certificate from De.
