j | / 5 “THE COURTS. Legal Complications Growing Out of Gov- ernment Bond Speculations. PREYING ON THE CREDULITY OF THE POOR, A Contingency Unprovided For in the Re- lease of William M. Tweed, A somewhat curious and complicated suit brought by David Levy & Lonis Newgnss against Kuhn, Loeb & Co., stock brokers, is now on trial before Judge Sedgwick in the Superior Court, The action is brought to recover $10,746 74 claimed to have been paid in 1877, and to have the bonds on which the trans_ action arose declared to have been the property of the defendants. In 1876 the defendants, as brokers, were directed by the plaintiffs to purchase $100,000 of United States sixes. When the order was given the defendants reported that they had purchased the bonds, $50,000 at 123%, and $50,000 at 123%, the plaintiffs being charged with $123,687 50 as a loan at tour percent, holding the bonds as collateral secu- rity. A similar purchase was ordered to be made in June by the plaintiffs of $100,000 United States sixes, this purchase was charged to the plaintiffs at $121,500. The first purchase, it seems, was not made on the day it was reported, and the defendants hed to their agents in Frank- fort to buy the bonds, the defendants being thus oupigelled to pay double commission. The plaintifts say that the J pe papiiees. of $121,468 75 was from Fisk & Hatch, and on each purchase the defendants claim that they were charged $62 50 besides interest and insurance which they néver expended. The de- fendants rendered quarterly statements, and the laintitts believing them to be correct, accepted them. The vonds were sold by the defendants in June, 1877, aud pod whoo’ notice to the plaintiffs the account ‘was closed, the difference, $10,746 74, being demanded of them and refused. It is claimed in this action that the bonds claimed by the defendants to have been urchased on their account and sold ain in January, 1877, were not actually sold on that day, und had been sold long before, and that the differ- ence is wrongfully charged. The defendants: claim that the plaintiffs were well aware of all that was done in their behalf; that the purchases were actu- ally made, and that they were simply ‘‘carrying’’ the bonds for the plaintiffs at a certuin rate of interest. ‘The case is still on trial, and, on account of the intri- cacivs as well as the importance of the novel points involved, attracted a ‘ge crowd of brokers and others to the court room. Is HE AN IMPOSTOR? Henry Smith, alias Dunn, alias Sinnott, alias John- son, on Englishman from Manchester, sixty-one years old, who gave his residence as No. 202 Eldridge stroet, was yesterday arraigned by Assistant District Attorney Rollins before Judge Cowing in Part 2 of the Court of General Sessions, charged with receiving money under false pretences. He is said to be what is known asa religious swindler, having, as alleged, collected a great deal of money from servant girls by representing that he was a Christian Brother, belong- ing to the Church of the Redemptorist Fathers on East Third street. While plying his vocation in the Church of the Lnmaculate Conception he was over- hauled on the 27th ult. by Roundsman Daly. When called to the bar yesterday the accused presented wretched appearance, the wonder bei that any erson could have been imp upon by such an object. The specific charge against him, to which he pleaded guilty, was that of obtaining fifty cents from Mary Clark, of No, 4 East Thirty- fourth street. Mary stated that, as a rule, he col- lected fifty cents from servant girls for the purpose of taking cate of the poor, as well as the erection of a Roman Catholic Church in Harlem. “How much money did you collect ?” asked Judge Cowing. “I really cannot say,"’ was the answer. “Are you a prics' again queried His Honor. a fy ig the pena bse lon’t believe you,” sternly rep! e Judge, “and, in order to find out who you really are, I aril send you to the Penitentiary on this charge for three months and suspend sentence on the other charges. Meanwhile, should I discover you are an impos it will go hard with you. A clerical appesrance hus great effect on almost any one, particularly the lower classes, I hope, for your own sake, you are a priest. If not, take cure |" It. should be added that a gentleman connected with the Order of the Redemptorists stated yester- ‘day that'they have no collectors, WILLIAM M. TWEED'S LAST, LAWYER. © Judge Speir, of the Superior Court, yesterday ren- | dered his decision in the suit brought by Benjamin P, Fairchild against John D. Townsend, formerly counsel for the late William M. Tweed. The action, as will be remembered, was brought to compel a re- assignment of a mortgage and re-conveyance of cer- tain prenrises held by the defendant as attorney and security for the payment in a certain contingency of five promissory notes made by Tweed and endorsed by the plaintiff, five of the ten notes originally made only being payable in case Tweed should not be con- victed of crime and sent to the State Prison. It was algo understood that in case Tweed should be con- victed and sent to State Prison, that as soon as the five notes should be paid the property was to be re- decded and the mortgage resigned. in his decision Judge Speir, atter reciting the circumstances showing the situation of the parties when they entered into the agreement, concindes bis opinion as follows :— “The plaiu conditions assumed by the defendant en- titling him to compensation have not been per- formed, nor does the case show merits for any eere vices rendered by the defendant to accomplish the PED Roe provided for in the agreement. William . Dweod was released from imprisonment by death. It is not pretended that either party in the agreement made any provision for such a contingency. The law makes it for them. The ‘acknow! rule in such a case is to regard the parties contracting with reference to causes only over which human agency has control. The plaintiff is entitled to judgment ‘with costs.” INDICTED BUT NOT CONVICTED. ‘The first case tried yesterday in Part 2 of the Court of General Sessions, before Judge Cowing, was that of Richard E. Butts, indicted for felonious assault on Francis R. Lindsley on the 5th of last March. It appeared trom the evidence of the complainant that he and the prisoner were partners in the butter busi- hess; that they had trouble about some money which the former retained; that an altercation ensued, and that Butts seized him from behind and stabbed him with a sharp butter knife. On cross-examination Mr. A. H. Hummel, counsel for the prisoner, elicited the fact that the-accused and complainant had been friends for many years and that Lindsley had bee drinking that morning. When the stabbing was Butts said it was an ace'dont. Misi, Swan, who was about entering the store at the time of the occur- rence, deposed that she saw Butta with the knife uplifted, grappling Lindsley, and heard As say he would put it throngh the complainant. T Hummel, in his opening remarks, ridi- id the idea that his client tntended to stab Lind- nd called Officer Lot, of the Twentieth precinct, who arrested the prisoner, and who said that at the time Butts stated the cut was purely accidental Butts also swore that he never intended to stab his part- ner, and that prior to the present instance he had never been arrested for offence. Judge Cowing delivered a luctd charge, defining the various grades of telonious assault, and directed the jury to give the defendant the benefit of every reasonable doubt, After # halt hour's deliberation the jury rendered a ver- dict of not guilty. COLD AND STARVATION, Before Judge Gildersleeve, in Part 1 of the Court of General Sessions, there was brought up for trial yesterday Frank Geraghty, a young man twenty-four years of age, who stole an overcoat from Charles McNamara, of No. 9 Baxter street. “Lwas cold and hungry, Your Honor,” the pris oner stated, ‘and sooncr than freeze to death I took the coat, Iam aware that you should commit me; Dut make it, if Your Honor please, ao that I can get out in the spring.” “What are you?” asked the Judge; “an unfortunate or an old offender, which?” “No, sir, Fam not an old offender,” replied the vivoner, “I have seen better days, and I stole, udge, purely from cold and starvation.” “You look liko @ man of intelligence, and Tam sorry to see you here, As you wish, I shall be lenient, Although you did steal 1 recognize that it was a mat ter of necessity alone, so I will only give you six ey.”” months in the Penitent MEMENTO OF FRANK L. TAINTOR. In 1874 Henry RB. Pierson, receiver of the Guardian Mutual Life Jusurance Company, brought a suit Against the Atlantic National Bank of this city to re- cover $50,000, A reference was ordered to ex-Gover- hor Hoffman, who reported in favor of the plaintiff, awarding him $70,011 68, The case camo up yester- day before the Supreme Court, General ‘form, on an appeal from thie report. The ques- tion turned upon two advances of | $25,000 toch mule by the Guardian Mutual Lite tnsurance Company, and the point is whether the loan was mado to Prank L, Taintor, the defaulting cushiar of the bank, who is now serving @ term in prison on account of his detalcations, or to the bunk. dhe pluintit claims thatthe loan was made to the bank, whereas the latter cisims that it was not the recipient of the loon and that the sume was not made at its request, but that whatever was done was o porronal matter Letween the company and Taintor. ‘hore was @ longthy argument, Mr. K, W.

PACIFIC MAIL, BAD MANAGEMENT OF A GREAT CORPORATION— PRESIDENT BABCOCK’S REVIEW OF THE COM- PANY UNDER FORMER MANAGERS—SERIOUS NEWS FOR THE STOCKHOLDERS. For some time back stockholders of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company hve been clamoring for @ statement which would acquaint them with the financial condition of the company, and the present management has been at work for some time past endeavoring to satisfy this demand, Yesterday Mr. D. 8. Babcock, the president of Pacific Mail, issuedan official statement, which, he acknowledges, the recent decline in the stock of the company and the consequent apprehensions of the stockholders regard- ing the future of their property, seemed to require, In his statement President Babcock says that the transactions of the two years ending April 30, 1878, were of so important a character that it is necessary to embrace that period in order to present an intelli- gent view of the situation. He then continues his statement as follows:—‘The report of President Dillon for the year ending April 30, 1876, showed the gross ‘earnings to amount to $5,500,013 69, and the ex- penses $4,915,917 95—a decrease in earnings froin the previous year of $925,637 09, and in expenses of $2,062,771 22, the result being $1,137,134 13 in favor of that year over the previous one. ‘This report also shows liabilities, excluding $1,837,802 75 capital ck, and contingent liabilities of $528,789 73, in all 502 48, Available cash asset $1,647,535; or ilities over cash assets, $719,057 43. It was sub- sequently proyed that these sums covered amounts as assets that cun never be realized, and also amounts that were not real liabilities, and after ciiminating such amounts we find that at that date the liabilities were $2,157,158 49; cash assets, $990,065 67; liabili- ties over assets, $1,167,092 82. SOME UNPROFITABLE CONTRACTS. “During the adininistration of President Clyde for the two years ending May 31, 1878, no report showing the earnings ana expenses of the company was made, and, in fact, no stetemient of liabilities and assets taken from the books was given to the stockholders. At the end of the first year (April 30, 1877) the annual report shows an appavent decrease in liabilities of $1,195,058 03, but it omitted to state that a large part of this sum ($255,000) was derived from the sales of real estate and of three old steamers, and also trom the reduction of the coals and stores at agencies of $187,139 19, and receipt from the United States gov- ernment of $375,000 subsidy, amounting to $317,139 19, An arrangement was made at this time with the Panama Transit Steamship Company by which its ships were to run in connection with the ships of this company on the New York and San Francisco lines, the division of net earnings being for four months ‘two-fifths to the Panama Transit Steamship Company and three-fifths to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company,’ and tor sixteen months up to the time of their sale to this company the division to be equal, one-half to each company. “Under this arrangement the Panama Transit Steem- ship Company took, as its share of the net earnings, $444,129 14, or about $150,000 more than it was entitled to, and which amount, it is confidently believed, can be recovered, On February 1, 1878, the purchase of the Panama ‘Transit ships was made by this company, and the sum to be paid was $15 to $20 per ton—more than the best modern ships of equal ton- nage could have been built for at that time. On the same date, and in consideration to the Panama Bail- road Company for the loan of its bonds in payment of these vessels to the amount of $1,000,000, a bill of sale was made to that company of the five transit company’s ships and of all the other ships of the company (eight in number) engeged in the trade be- tween here and San Francisco, and, as further se- curity, a mortgage for $250,000 each on the steamships City of Sidney and City of New York. It was also that the Pacific Mail Steamship Company should pay to the Panama Railroad Company, as its share of the business, about $100,000 per month. 1t may thus be seen that on the accession of the present management the affairs of [haba company were in a deplorable condition. The indebtedness of the Panama Railroad Company had largely increased during the tour months the con- tract had been in force, and its demands for a settle- ment were imperative. The whole amount paid that company in cash during the five months ending Octo- ber 31 was $575,576 84.” In conclusion Mr. Babcock states that his company has succeeded in making a very advantageous vontract with the Pacific railroads, but all his efforts to secure a modification of the con- tract with the Panama Railroad have been futile up to this time. TRADE AND TRANSPORTATION. ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BOARD—INTERSTATE COMMERCE—THE SUGAR QUESTION AND THE UNICORN LINE: The annual meeting of the Board of Trade and Trausportation was held yesterday at their rooms No, 87 Pearl street, Captain Ambrose Snow, presi- dent, in the chair. After the reading and adoption of the minutes of the previous mecting Mr. F. B. Thurber, chairman of the Committee on Railroad Transportation, to which had been referred the bill now pending in Congress “for the regulation of inter- state commerce,” reported upon the same at great length. The principal features of the bill are as fol- lows:—Sections 1 and 2 provide that freight shall not be carried cheaper for one ship- per than another under the same circum- stances. Section 3 prohibits combinations or pool- ing of freights. Section 4 provides that more shall not be charge. for transporting for a short than for a long distance, and section 5 that schedules of rates shall be publicly posted at each station. The other sections situply provide for carrying these provisions into effect. The committee say in their report:—“As regards sections 1 and 2 the fairness and desirability of their intent will commend them to railroads and all shippers who do not seek advantages over their fellows; but in the opinion of your committee they do not go far enough, for a shipper sending nine car loads of freights might be compelled to pay double the rate charged a shipper of ten car loads, because the services were not ‘like,’ although contempo- raneous. ‘There should be a standard of quantity or unit established.” In conclusion, the committee submitted the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted :— . Resolved. That, in the opinion of this Board, the provi- the Reagan bill for tho regulation of interstate ree ay a whole are just and reasonable; that somo the kind is ab: ry to ‘protect the and further, nitude of the in- volved are so great that a competent board of commissionars should be appointed to suporintend the fan interstate railroad law, and from time to «1 to Congross such additional or qualityin; Inouwires ne may be required todo substantial justice to the public and railroad interests, Resolved, That the compensation for such commissioners shonld be large euough to command the services of men of the highest character and ability. THE SUGAR QUESTION. Mr. John F. Heury offered the following resolutions relative to the sugar question, which were adopted :— Resolved, That the question of a change in the tariff o sugar which is now pending in Congress should its merits, without cofegnes to the charges of fran and adulteration whieh interested purties have sought t connect with it, each of which should be investigated and decided independ Resolved, high grade sugars at the 8 wonld be wi ik ptr t to take off all duties on sugar, would give American refiners an equal chance to compete with the sugar makers of other countries, THE UNICORN LINE OF STRAMERS, ‘The following resolutions of Mr, I. I. Browning were the occasion of considerable debate :— Resolved, That we view with gratifiention the proposed addition to our terminal and commercial facilities inthe project of the New York Central Railroad for bringing: the cars and ships together, a measure so often advocated by this Hoard, and wo trust those fneilitios may be wo arranged a “bl of will rosult im cheapening thy pve ndive In this port, Resolved, That if said facilities aro go used the manage. ment of the New York Ceniral Railroad will be entitled to the thanks of the public. Mr. Thurber opposed the resolutions on the yround that the New York Central road had done nothing as yet to entitle itto the thanks of New York. Other wentlemen said the resolutions indicated the givii of glory to Mr. Vanderbilt tor the establishment the “Unicorn line,”’ whereas he had nothing whatever to do with it. An enterprising broker had chartered a number of old vessels, they said, which the Central Railroad will freight for him, ‘Tho resolutions were, however, adopted, A new list ot directors was reported, among them being Captain Snow, Mr. Claflin, George Opdyke, John F, Henry, F, B.

All this was reported at the Central Office and yesterday Officers O'Brien and Reilly were called up before President Smith for trial. First, the story of the clubbing and its causes were recited. The of- ficer# had seen Simmons in company with an old man, named McCormack, whom they had before no- ticed with some money in his hand, and this, they judged, gave them the right to arrest Simmons, because he could not tell | them what became of it. Simmons, it appears, ob- jected to this summary treatment, broke away from them, and in consequence was soundly battered by both policemen when they laid hands oa him. Old McCormack, a little mite of aman, with a determi- nation not to be “bulldozed” animating every inch of him, told the Court that he was going home with a bag of sugar under his jacket, as it was raining, when the officers laid hold of him and took it away. “{tould them ¢ cud be arrested for highway robbery,” said McCormack. ‘They niver moinded that. We're privaleeged characthers, ses at and av we careil to we'd sthrip the shirt aff yer back. Thin they agreed to settle itav I thrated thim. So I tuk thim into Jems Hinry Quinn’s saloon and there they aich drunk their schooner av ale wid black pipper in it.” This was hard on Messrs. O'Brien and Reilly. So they bronght up James Henry Quinn-to swear that he had not seen one or the other in his place on the 10th of December. This James Henry swore, and he could do it conscientiously, too, tor the cross-exami- nation showed he was sick and abed at the time when this ‘thrating” was alleged to have occurred, and would have to look straight through a good sized partition before hecould see the hobnobbing officers. Then Michael Smith was called to swear he had seen neither of the officers drink any liquor. This, it was found, he could do with as great ease as bis predecessor, as he admitted there was no place in his neighborhood to drink at. Then a citizen and taxpayer of the Twentieth ward was called, who us- sured the Commissioners that he had lived there thirty-two t recies and was furnishing them various other autobiographical notes, when he was asked directly by Oflicer Reilly, “Did you ever see me drunk ?” “I know ye t’ be a most efficient officer,” said the witness, with a mellow brogue. “Did you ever see me drunk?" was repeated. “I'm taxpayer and a risidint in the ward for thirty-two yeurs.”” “Answer,” roared President Smith; “Did you ever see him drunk?” “Thore do be noises in our street, sir,” sweetly re- lied the citizen; “but taxpayer as I am, and ris- jdint——" ‘That witness was not allowed to furnish any fur- ther voucher for Reilly’s character, So half a dozen witnesses having sworn they had seen the two officers club Simmons and misbehave generally, the case was closed by General Smith stig- latizing the whole affair as an outrage, and declaring that the man should never have been arrested; from which it is inferred that the outlook is rather blue tor Messrs, O’Brien and Reilly. The case of Officers Burns and Ryan, of the Fourteenth precinct, accused of cowardice at the shooting of Officer Furniss, was adjourned till Mond BOARD OF EDUCATION. The Board of Education hold its first mosting for the year 1879 yesterday afternoon, The new com- missioner, Thaddeus P. Moriarty, was present, vice Lawrence Goulding. Commissioner Walker was called to the chair while the Board was engaged in electing @ new president, Commissioner Wood was re-clected for the fourth time, by a vote of sixteen against two. One of the latter was for Commissioner Wickham and one blank. President Wood was con- ducted to the chair by Commissioners Halsted and Place. The President then said:—“I did my best to prevent this result in my vale- dictory. Inasmuch as sixtecn commissioners, more than three-tourths of the Board, have elected me, 1 dare not refuse; therefore I order thut I be put on the supply hst for 1879, I said everything in my valedt tory that I would have said in au opening speech. Lawrence D. Kiervan was re-elected clerk ot the Board and John Davenport auditor, In voting for clerk an amusiag incident occurred. Nineteen votes were, cast tor Mr. Kiernan and one for Commissioner Don- nelly. The latter in writing out his ticket had writ- his own name by mistake. The incident created considerable amusement in the Board, The election of other officers was postponed. ‘Miss Adeline V. Sutton was appointed principal of Grammar School No. 56, in which she has been a In aconyersation with a Hxnaup reporter President Wood called attention to a statement it his ictory address in which he said that ‘at fifty # per classroom, which the City Superintend- ent assures mo is a sate average, this adds sitting ae- commodations for ) pupils in 1878. Many ot additional classrooms have been made by di- viding the halls of the school houses into four or six classrooms by sliding doors. This does not improve the ventilation, the hitherto large nnocenpied halls to the building, but ‘our poverty il consents’ to such alterations.” serving as Iw and not our w AN ENEMY OF EDUCATION. Charles Bailey, nineteen years old, on Tuesday made up his mind to go to school, He applied for admis- sion to the night class in Grammar School No. 5 nor of Third ayenue and 115th street, and was wel- comed by the principal, Mr. Daniel B. Barringer. Ho was assigned to a desk, but, pending the arrival of a teacher, grew weary and began to cut up. He stood | on his head and compelied smalier be to do the | same, white made the latter ery, and the noise | brought the janitor tp the spot. Bua: HN then tried to | uce the janitor to stand on his ad and that off. | in etal walked the new pupil down stairs. Bailey then took a station near the entrance and informed all new comers that nothing could be learned inside, and that the school was an imposition on suffering taxpayers. When the scholars tried to go in Bailey pulled them back to the sidewalk, He became so obstreperous that after a while Officer Paton was sent for and Bailey was lodged in the 126th street station house. In the Har- Jem Police Court yesterday Mr. Barringer requested dudge Bixby not’ to send Bailey to prison, as he (Barringer) desired to make another effort to subdue the prisoner, who, he thought, was a “rough dia mond” and only needed a little polishi Judge Bixby laughingly granted the request, and told the posaee bring his protégé into court whenever he found the latter was getting the best of him. Bailey was then allowed to go. He is a strapping youth and lives at No. 316 East 113th st. BUSINESS TROUBLES. Benjamin F.

EFFECT OF NOT HEATING THE THIRD AVENUE CARS—VICE PRESIDENT NAVARRO ON THE WEST SIDE EXTENSION TO HARLEM--PRESI- DENT GARRISON SAYS THE SECOND AVENUE LINE WILL BE OPENED NEXT AUGUST, ‘The trafic of the Third Aveune Elevated line since its opening to Hariem on December 30 has averaged about 70,000 per day, which is a much smaller figure than had been anticipated, That this disappoint- ment is largely due to the failure to heat the cars would seem to be clearly shown by the official re- turns of the traiiic, which is as follow: Monday, December 30. ‘uesday, December Wednesday, January 1. Thursday, Janvary Friday, Saturday, Jan T4IRNE ‘Tuesday, January 7 » 78,000 Here is a falling off between Thursday and the ter- | ribly cold Friday of over eleven thousand passengers. On that frigid Friday the traffic of the Metropolitan Railway, whose cars were comfortably heated, was 49,673, or within less than seven thousand of tho travel on the entire Third avenne road—a line twice as long and passing through a more densely popu- lated portion of the city. Again, on Saturday last, when the trafic on the Third avenue road had fallen to 63,571, that of the Metropoli- tan rose to 652,361, as several thousands walked from the east side to the Sixth ave- nue rather than ride in the freezing cars of the Third avenue line. Nevertheless, some of the officers of the New York Elevated declared that poo- ple would rather have the cars not heated, and that remonstrances had been received against heating them. Ou Friday, Saturday and Monday night the truins were kept ranning all night in order to pre- vent the freezing up of the engines, and the extent of the night travel (between midnight and five A. M.) luas thus been practically tested. While no figures are accessible as to the precise amount of the travel during these hours, the officers and employés ail agree that it was next to null, The ticket agent at Fulton street, one of the best stations, suid he did not ‘sell over 50 tickets on an average during these hours, ‘THE METROPOLITAN EXTENSION, Vice President Jose F. Navarro stated yesterda: that the work on the upper extension of the Sixt! avenue line was progressing admirably, and that lit- tle doubt existed now of the opening of the west side extension to the Harlem River during the coming summer. Mr. Navarro was asked whetber the ex- tremely coli weather of last week had, in his opin- ion, attoctod ever so slightly the strength of the iron work on the Metropolitan road, ‘‘I have just received a letter on this subject,” Mr. Navarro replied, ‘the writer of which desires to be mformed whether there "is any just fear of the iron snapping from the effects cold, Ihave just replied to him en- closing the expert opinions of our in«pectors and en- gineers who have tested the iron all along the line since the cold snap, showing that our road structure t been affected an iota by either snow, ice or he fact is,” Mr. Navarro added, after a ‘that our road was put up and equipped re- pause, yurdless of cost, and we took care to use only the very best iron to be had in the country. On our west side extension to the Harlem River and on our Second avenue line we shall adhere to the same rule. The very first consideration in rapid transit is safety to lifeand limb. We all understand that a serious accident would be ruinous to rapid transit, and hence the very first consideration is to have the best of iron and the safest as well as the strongest possible structure. As compared with these vital considerations the question of expense must sink entirely into the background.”* RAPID WORK. The work on the extension of the Metropolitan line has already progressed to about 125th street. On Ninth avenue, between Eighty-third strect and 110th street, already 150 excavations have been dug and twenty-four foundations completed. On this sec- tion over five hundred laborers and masons have been kept at work incessantly since the day on which the HenaLp announced that the contract had been awarded, Even on that terrible Friday those who were willing to bear the extreme cold remained at their tasks. On Eighth avenue, between 110th and 125th streets, the same feverish activity prevails, and the work is pushed ahead with the same marvellous rapidity. Here about two hundred and fifty laborers and masous are digging holes and put- ting in foundations. Thirty-five excavations have already been opened and twelve piers completed. Although it seemed at first a task of great difficulty to build the road to the Harlem Bridge—155th strect— and to equip and operate it by the 1st of July, ex- perts agree that if the work is continued with the Same energy it will be successfully accomplished. THE xECOND AVENUE LINE. President William R. Garrison, of the Metropoli- tan Railway, made an announcement yesterday which will delight thousands of residents K side who are now unable to find accommodations on the Third Avenue Elevated line. ‘We shall award tho contract for the Second avenue line very soon—as soon as Mr. Baird, our efficient chief engineer and manager, has completed tho specifications which he is now preparing, and the contract will require the entire Sec avenue railway to be completed by August 1, Indeed, there will probably not be a differ- ence of more than a month between the opening of our west side extension and of our new east side line. We shall open our west side line to Harlem by July 1 and our Second avenue line to the river probably next August.” When asked as to the probable style of structure to be adopted for the Second avenue line, Mr. Gurrison said it would probably be the “deck structure” pre vailing on Sixth avenue, above Fifty-third street, and, as far as practicable, a third track would be put in for the running of iast express .trains, “I have been discussing with Mr. Baird,” said Mr, Garrison, “how much heavier we shonld build our Second ue structure than we built our Sixth avenue road. You imwy rest assured that we mean to do by the east side public as well as we know how, at the same time using the experience we have already gained by the operation of our Sixth avenue line. We have received valuable franchises from the to and for these we carnestly mean to give the people an equivalent by affording them the most superior rapid transit accommodations that money and expe- rience can provide.” THE VESEY STREET FIRE. Coroner Woltman summoned a jury to meet at engine honse No. 29, Fulton street, yesterday after- noon, to investigate the canse of the death of John W. Irving, the fireman who was killed at the fire in Vesoy street, carly on Tuesday morning. After ex- plaining the nature of the case the Coroner requested the jury to visit the premises, No. 75 Vesey strect, where the fatality occurred, and then adjourned the inquest until a future day ‘che building of Engine Company No. 29 is draped in mourning in me mnOtY of the deceased. Several buildings in the vicinity of that in which the fire otcurred are requrded as dangerous and the attention of the Commissioners of Buildings has been called to their condition. ‘The funeral of the deceased fireman will take place to-day at one o'clock, from his father's resi- dence, No. 302 East Twenty-first streot. Delegations from the Fire Department will be present, members of Engine Company No. 20 and Hook and Ladder Company No. 10° acting #® pallbearers. ‘The re- mains sae be taken to Greenwood Cemetery for in- terment. VOLUNTEER LIFE SERVICE. Captain Paul Boyton received $500 in subscriptions yesterday for the erection of station houses for “Nan” the newsboy and his comrades along the East River front. The members of the Stock Exchange gave $250, the amount promised, which is enough to erect one station, The Produce Exchange contributed $150, the Maritime Exchange $60 and the Cotton Ex- change $40. Hercatier the Henacp will acknowledge ali contri- buttons received by Captain Boyton for the Volunteer Life Suving Service. The following sums were ro- ceived yesterday at this office :-—D, F. Taff, $1; James . Auten, Jr., $1, and from the “ tain's room" of the ship Hritannic, #10. A firm has written to Captain Boyton offering to fit up one or more stations with electrical resuscitat- ing apparatus, ‘The following Captain Boyton would Ike to have donated :—Hand lamps for patrol, a few tons of coal, three stoves, three hanimocks, sone chairs, three signal gongs to call police, port ladders, hot water kettles, three national flags three white fiags with red cross, reflecting lanterns and ofl for stations, besides any kind of life-saving apy tus, such as buoys, corks and grappling ropes. nafew days the Captain will give» eral drill of ail the members of the corps, in which he will instruct them how to throw the lines and resuscitate drowned persons. SHOOTING AT THIEVES, Long Island chicken thieves met with a warm re- ception on Tucsday night. At Queens they visited the premises of Jacob §. Bergen. In the chicken house Mr, Bergen had arranged a spring gun, the mur- vie pointing to the front door, and the string to pnil the trigger fastened to the rear door.
