THE CITYS GROWTH, Qver Four Hundred New Buildings Going Up | on the Rast Side, Up Town. WHAT RAPID TRANSIT HAS DONE. The Rhinelander Estate and the Inten- tions of the Executors. ACTIVITY IN REAL ESTATE. Homes for the Middle Classes at Moderate Rents. eens The unprecedented activity in building operations now everywhere visible in the eastern uptown sec- tion of the city, encouraged as it has been by the successful introduction of rapid transit along the east side avenues, has led toa report, widely circu- lated in real estate circles, that the Rhinelander es- tate is about to erect 400 buildings on the vacant lots lying between East Eighty-sixth and East Ninety- third streets and extending toward the East River. While engaged in obtaining facts, showing the un- precedented improvements now going on in that section of the metropolis, a representative of the Hrraup called yesterday at the office of the Rhinelander estate, and there was informed that though tho time had andoubtedly arrived for the improvement of their uptown property, the present heirs could not anticipate the action of the courts. Mr. William C. Rhinelander died in June last, and amicable partition suits were now progress- ing, and it was hoped that in about six or eight months the various heirs would each get their share, to be settled by the present executors of the estate, all of whom were anxious that the property should be fairly and honorably divided. Naturally most of them would at once set to work and improve the property thus acquired, but the estate as such had nothing to do with it. All they had to see to was that each one got his or her share and leave whatever improvements were to be made to their individual enterprise. The agent at the Rhinelander estate office having referred the re- porter to Mr. William Rhinelander Stewart, the gen- tleman having charge of the partition suits, the latter was called upon at the office of Messrs, Platt, Gerard & Bowers, in William street. Mr. Stewart explained the status of the property now in course of partition. INTERVIEW WITH ONE OF THE RHINELANDER HEIRS. He said:—"'No plans have been made uor has any contract been signed for the improvement of a single lot of Mr. Rhinelander’s estate, but presumably all the heirs will build the moment the definite lots are given them. The partition suit, which is now in the Supreme Court, is an amicable one, and the divisions will be made as soon as the commis- sioners of partition appointed by the Court pre- pare their maps showing the respective shares of the individual devisees. Almost eyery mechanic in town has been at the office of our executors to find ‘out about these 400 buildings, but how can any one of us build until we know what lots we are going to get? The moment we know that, most of the heirs will, no doubt, erect private residences on the nu- merous east side crosa streets, running through the estate, and I presume they will be buildings that can be rented for $500 to $600 and having about sixteen feet front. The buildings on the avenues will be stores.” , “What is the extent of the property ?”’ asked the writer. “Here are 660 lots,” replied Mr. Stewart, “lying between Kighty-sixth street to the south, Ninety- third street to the north, Lexington avenue to the west and the riveron the cast. Mr. William C. Rhinelander was the sole surviving trustee of his father, William Rhinelander, who acquired this prop- erty in 1798, It is on record that the latter paid for the first piece of this property £1,650; for the wecond he paid $11,356 20; for the third he paid @ nominal sum, for another piece he paid $1,968, and still for another parcel $750. The whole of this is now worth fully over $2,000,000, The Mr. Rhine- lander who died last June had no power to sell any part of this vast tract, he could not issue build- ing loans, and people did not care to im- prove it so long a# they could not get possession of it, except by a lease. With Mr. Rhinelander’s death in June last the entail terminated, and now nineteen different heirs come in, all of whom will po doubt at once set to work in improving their re- spective shares. You can see by their names that they are all persons woll knownin New York, all heirs, who have the welfare of their native city at heart.” ‘WHO WILL IMPROVE THE PROPERTY? “In so far as they are the parties to make the much-talked of improvements have you any objec- tion to furnishing the HxraLp with their names?" asked the writer. “Not at all,” said Mr. Stewart, “but they are in different groups. First come William, Julia and Serena Rhinelander and Mary R. Stewart, all children of William C. Rhinelander.” Mr. Stewart here added, “The latter is my mother, and I for one shall advise her to improve her thirty lots without delay.” Next is Mary C. King, only child of Philip Rhinelander. She is the wife of ex-State Senator John A. King, of Long Island, and, being an only child, she is entitled to about one hundred and twenty lots. Then come Charles and Laura Rhinelander, Emily C. Watson and Gertrude R. Waldo, all four children of Bernard * Rhinelander, deceased. Next are Frederick W. Rhino- lander, Mary E. Newbold, Lucretia 8. Jones and Elizabeth Edgar, all children of Frederick W. Rhinelander; then Frederick W. Renwick, William R. Renwick and Mary R. Swan, chil- dren, and Mary R. Callender, grandchild of Mary Rhinelander, who married Robert Renwick. The last group is composed of John R. Stevens and Mary L. Gallatin, childron of Eliza Rhinelander, who married Horatio Gates Stevens. Now you have them all, and you can sec that the various parties are all persons not overanxious to keep unimproved property on their hands, The executors of the entire extate are William C. Rhinelander, William R. Renwick and Lisponard Stewart. The Lispenards, after whom Lispenard — has been named, intermarried with the Rhine- ors, r A NEW APARTMENT HOUSE, Mr. Stewart added that the Rhinelander family had been far more successful with their uptown than with their downtown EY rty, where they had to contend with considerable litigation at the time that the New York Elevated lroad =Company first erected its pillars through Greenwich street. Still, rapid transit on the east ‘was now making up for it, and on or about the psi the executors of the estate would begin to erect without delay a large apartment house on the southwest corner of Eighty-sixth streot and Second avenue, covering 100 square fect, without waiting for the division of the rost of the property. This corner tliey had been compelled to repurchase at foreclosure sale, and they would at ouce set to work to improve it. “The snxiety of the Rhinelander people to get through with the red tape of the courts,” said a prominent real estate owner in Pine street yesterday ‘etn be easily understood, considering the advan- tages they now possess for building, owing to the cheapness of the material, and the desire of so many ersons from pe AL aud Brooklyn to come to jew York and pure cheap homes.” REMARKABLE RFFECT OF RAPID TRANSIT. “You have no idea,” said Mr. Richard Harnett, “what a change rapid transit is making tor New York. ‘The effect upon our city is like the introduction of Croton weter years » Nota cay passe ay jally at this season of the year, but people c in from across the river and want cheap houses, and it is the construction of these now so rapidly goin forward which i# metamorphosing the entire eas! jardless of anything landers may or do.

A LOUK THROUGH THE BUILDING DistRicr, Satisfied ing on along the east side of the city, Sion in real estate circles, was not generally known to the people of New York, the rter, after conferring Pith leadinig downtown agents, mado the tour of the east side of New York above Fifty-ninth street, and to his astonishment he found that all which had been told him downtown in regard to these improve- ments was even more than true, Everywhere, not- withstanding the presence of mountains of snow and lakes of slush, the masons, the carpenters—in fact, all sorts of mechanics were hard at work, not only on solitary buildings, but on entire rows of new dwel- lings. In some | ities the last finishing touches were bein, pat on, in others the fronts have just been erected, w) aguin in other places blasting opera- tions were iporsmeing rapidly next to vacant lots where foundations were being laid for new dwellings. Everywhere the buildings by peony to be substantial and an not expensive. No gay trappings nor carved porticos, but plain, neat domiciles are spring- ing np ali along the upper part of Second, Thita and Madison avenues and the cross streets; and wherever there was @ large gang of men at work some owner or foreman was on hand to expedite matters. BUILDING HOUSES AT WHOLESALE. The most lively section visited were the blocks running along Ninety-fourth and Ninety-fifth streets, Lexington and Fourth avenues, and also extending to Third avenue. Here the Duffy Brothers have erected no less than sixty houses—all_ nice three story brown stone buildings. Twenty of these houses have been sold for two blocks of vacant lots. lying along Lexington Ninety-ninth and 100th — streets, and Fourth avenues, and the same parties are now erecting new houses in that locality. Here and there a conspicuous private mansion, now in course of construction, was met with, like that of George Ehret, the well known brewer, who is building a res dence at the corner of Ninety-second street and Park avenue. The ground here is very high, and affords the most magnificent view of New York rround- ings that can anywhere be met with. Then again it came to the reporter’s knowledge that rich property owners hud learned by experience how to meet the demands of the middle classes desirous of purchasing their own homesteads. Mr, Gebhardt, who has about completed his twenty-seven houses along 108th and 103d streets, between Madison and Fourth avenues, has hit upon the novel plan of selling them all at monthly payments, and they all range from $6,000 to $8,000 each. NEW EAST SIDE BUILDINGS. As a matter of record the reporter took account of the following buildings, now under way, some of them being just finished, others just begun, but all yet receiving the attention of various mechanics :— Locality.

HOMES YOR THE MILLION. ‘The above 408 buildings, as already stated, are now in process of construction, and in addition to these it was ascertained that Messrs. Arnold, Constable & Co. intend to build soon along Seventy-second wtreot, between Lexi and Fourth avenues, about ten houses, which will be of more t finish than most of those above enumerated. e peculiarity, however, of the above mentioned 400 dwellings is that for once New York is being filled up with residences come-at-able by men of mod- erate means, most of the above ranging in price from $3,500 to $6,000. In the construction ot these buildings & number of new men are engaged not heretofore heard of as property owners, but among the names mentioned are also builders who have been idle for a number of years and who once more come to the front in lending their skill toward making New York, what it will ere- Jong be, the niost thoroughly constructed city in the civilized world. Already this remarkable activity in building operations along the east side is making itself tet on the water trents, and the holders ot these lots now talk of their property as if they owned Fifth avenue mansions. They claim that never be- fore was there such # demand for coal and materiai yards on the East Kiver side as there is nowadays, all of which is caused by the uptown improvements, so singularly accelerated by the successful establish- ment of rapid transit, CONEY ISLAND REMEMBERED, In connection with this should be mentioned the sale of an entire block of ground, bounded by Lewis, Sixth and Seventh streets to the East River Ferry Company for $150,000, It is presumed that this property will be used by the company to, secommo- te the Coney Island traffic (Brighton Beach), for which this company is now said to be making ample preparation. The sale of this property is regarded with great interest by the denizens of that locality, it being the first important plot of ground sold in the Eleventh ward for anumber of yours past. HONORING A JOURNALIST, COMPLIMENTARK BANQUET TO THE FOUNDER OF “GRAHAM'S MAGAZINE.” Filling the position of an associate editor on one of the Newark (N. J.) journals is a gentleman who, twenty years ago, was the owner and editor of the leading periodical of the country. This was Gra- ham's Magazine, its conductor being Mr. George BR. Graham. Mr. Graham was born in Pennsylvania. His father ‘was once an opulent merchant, who intended his son for the Bar, but business calamities carricd off his fortune and he died leaving his son poor. After spending some years on a farm young Graham went to Philadelphia and while working at cabinet making studied law, and in 1839, was admitted to the Bar, Meanwhile he had developed a love for literary pursuits and after seven years of journalistic labor and — experience, founded Graham's Magasine. This was in 146, ‘The magazine was a model of beauty in the matter of typography and engravings, and its tone and literary character inay be Judged by the list of writers ft en- aged—Longtellow, Bryant, Cooper, James Russell Pikroll, Henry W.

Arthur and mar others then and since famous in the American repub- lic of letters. ‘The magazine being an assured and brilliant coss Mr, Graham next turned his attention to daily Journalism and purchased the Philadelphia North ‘American, A year later he consolidated the United States Gazette into the American. In this enterprise he was associated with the late Morton McMichael. In an unfortunate hour Mr. Graham went into stock specn- lutions and lost a splendid fortune. His magazine and newspaper also from his con- trol, Subsequently he Fogained Possession of the magavine, a second time accumulated a fortune, and « second time lost the bulk of it. Ho’ ever, he realized by the sale of the mayazine a hand- fome sun, Of late years Mr. Graham lived on Orange Mountain, N. J., with his nephew and adopted son, the late Colonel Henry R. Rockafellar. Since the death of the latter Mr. Graham has lived in Newark and been a contributor to the local press. In honor of his sixty-sixth birthday Mr. Graham's friends and journalistic associates last evening tendered him a banquet at Von Seytried’s, in Newark. Speeches were made by Judge Guild, Thomas Dunn English, Mr. Graham, Judge Kicord, Rey, J.N. Stansbury, Dean of Newark; Judge John R. Weeks, Joseph “Atkinso Colonel C ourtois, George Allen, Benedict Prietto, J. 4 and others. Letters containing regrets pliments were read from Colonel A. K McClure and Charles J.

The German bark Republik, which left Bremen December 2 for this port, arrived at her pier in the North River yesterday, having on board the captain and crew, sixteen in all, of the Norwegian bark Jasen, which was abandoned at sea on the Mth of January. ‘The bark Republik, Captain Henry Fortmann, was | in ballast and consigned to Hermayn Koop & Co., of | this city. Nothing worthy of note occurred in her Passage until December 13, when heavy gales were experienced from the eastward, lasting for several | hours. The wind blew with such terrific force that every stitch of canvas had to be close reefed. The yessel had variable weather from that time up to the 13th of January, when a hurricane, which lasted tor five hours, was encountered, The sea ran very high, | and several sails were torn from the yards and others | split. ‘The waves broke over the decks, but nothing | was swept overboard, as the threatening clouds had warned the sailors of the approaching storm and everything was made snug. ‘The wind, which at first came from the southwest, soon shifted to the north, and rain and sleet began to fall. The sea was very rough and the vessel in imminent danger of founder- ing. Toward nightfall the wind and sea decreased in violence, and all on board were congratulating them- selves on their lucky escape, when, to their great surprise they were caught in a second hurricane early on the following morning. | The sky was overcast with heavy clouds and blinding siect way falling. About seven o'clock a | bark, flying signals of distress, was made out to windward. The captain of the Republik ordered his vessel to the rescue, and three hours later they were within hailing distance. The bark in distress was found to be the Jasen, Captain Bjilke, from Cron- stadt, Russia, for New York, in ballast. ‘The captain, Biilke, said that his vessel was helpless, their rud- der being gone, and he asked the Republik to lay by until their damages could be repaired. Two rudders were made and put on, but the vessel could not be steered, Every sail was gone and the crew wanted to leave the bark. Accordingly the captain complied and the Jusen was abandoned about noon, the crew taking with them nothing but their clothing. ‘THE VOYAGE OF THE JASEN, The following account of the voyage of the ill- fated bark was told the reporter last evening by one of the crew:—“We left Cronstadt, Rus- October 18, consigned — to C.' Tobias & Co., of New York. Our course was through the Baltic Sea, out into the North Sea by the Cotigat and Skuger Rack, and from the North Sea through the English Channel into the Atlantic Ocean, where we commenced battling with the winds and waves. On Friday, the 10th of January, while beating about in a strong gale from the south, the rudder was broken, After repairs were made the vessel proceeded on its course, making good progress until the 13th, when we were overtaken by a — hurricane, Sails were lost and split and the decks swept clean. During the storm the rudder was carried away. Attempts were made to repair the damage, but the sea wax running too high at thetime. All day long the bark drifted about in # helpless condi- tion, with signals of distress flying. On the morning of the 14th the wind increased, and, although the yousel pitched fearfully, we tried to steer her, but in yain, About noon of the same day we were rescued by the Republik. ‘There was considerablo trouble 1n getting aboard, but no one was injured.” : The Jasen is a vessel of about 800 or 900 tons burden and was owned by her captain. She was built and belonged at Risan, Norway. NO CHOICE OF EDIBLES. THE ‘CHAMPION SWORD SWALLOWER” GETS AWAY WITH HIS FAVORITE WEAPON AND ALSO DISPOSES OF SEVERAL STONES. An advertisement in one of the morning news- papers yesterday announced that a most surprising performance would be given last night by one Signor Forstlle, “the champion sword swallower of the world.” The nature of the feats proposed, which vweto ull duly performed, attracted a group of re- porters to the saloon in Hudson street, chosen by the illustrious foreigner for his performance, and to these gentlemen the proprietors of the saloon hos Pitably set forth his disgust at the advertisement. “I headed it,” he said “fhe Human Stomach,” and the darned printers headed it ‘A Raffle For a Horse.” It appeared shortly that there would be no raftile for a horse, although the horse was ready, as not enough tickets had been sold. Signor Forstlle, how- ever, appeared in a brilliant costume of scanty tights and Wellington boots, and proceedéd to astonish the crowd, Asmall billiard table stood in the centre of the room, which seewed to have been played on by generations of drunken men, inasmuch as it hadeight corners and @ huge circular patch in the middle, and on the table the champion had a bundle of genuine swords, of various patterns. One of these he flo head in the air, and then, inserting its point in his mouth, he thrust it down his throat till the hilt rattled against his teeth. Pulling if gut, he exclaimed, “You can see, there ain't no jiood on it.” Then detecting moisture on the blade, he loo! more closely at it, and added, “That's only clam chowder.” Two, three and finally four swords of different shapes he swallowed at once, and then, swallowing one, he jumped upon atable with the blade inside of him. Then leaping to the floor he presented the hilt to a bystander, who unsheathed the weapon. “Golly !"’ exclaimed # short African, who stood with open eyes and mouth. “I wouldn't do dat fur $10, Tain’t era a don’t want none.” “May be you'd likes stone better,” said the Signor, who talked the vernacular with wonderful fluency, and he madea motion to throw a small stone down the darkey’s throat, ‘Well, then, I'll take it i he continued, as theynegro dodged. "His extraordinary appetite was not, it seemed, appeased by his liberal meal of steel, and he distribu’ four pebbles among the bystanders, asking them to throw them down his throat. This they did, audas there seemed some doubt in the minds of his audience as to where the stones were, he said, “I'll show you,” and seizing a sword he stuck that down his throat and “jabbea” fiercely with it, rattling the stones around as if they were in a calico bag. No one caviiled after that, but the Signor was even yet hungry, and, seizing a billiard cue, began eating that without even the formality of chalking the tip. He had nearly one-half of it swallowed when the pro- prietor intertered, ‘Be jabers, ye kin swally all the swords an’ stones ye loikes,” said he, ‘but ye can't ate up my furniture. Sure yo'll ate the billiard table next.” “Let him eat it,” said the crowd. “An’ who'll pay for it?” asked the proprietor. No one was rash enough to promise, and the hungry man reluctantly restored the cue to the rack, It had been advertised that, in addition to eating this hearty meal, the by r would “demonstrate the herculean strength is muscle by bending solid bars of iron across his naked arm, throwing com- pletely in the shade the Grecian and Roman ‘Heroes of Necromancy’ and strength. This he did, in fact, like all the others, being honestly done, and the op- portunity is open to uny ancient worthy to emerje from obseurity by challenging him. Taking a straight bar of solid iron, fully half an inch thick and t feet long, he struck it three times on his naked arm and beut it almost double. He then, with the pebbi rattling about inside of him, took up a collection aud announced that he | would be happy to appear at balls or parties. ‘“Hay- | ing no cards at present,” he said, “Lean be reached time by addressing the proprietor of this THE REGICIDAL MANIA. {From the London Globe.) It is probable that the attempts at the assassination | of kings and high personages, which have been so | numerous during the past twelve months, in alinost all cases proceed trom @ mania which is possibly epi- | demical, and is certainly physiological rather than | political, This presumption is confirmed by the | wild letters written by Mr. Madden, the interpreter from the “office of the Modern Prophet." We may | discern a fresh ilustration from an opistle which has | been received by the Governor of Finland, and was communicated his secretary to the Pinidinder Zeitung. “Your Excellency,” wrote a certain Karl | August Munk, who communicated his correct address, “Lamu plagued by an irrepressible towptation to kill | you, In order to comply with the wicked urging of the tempter L have come to Helsingtors, In the hope of finding @ favorable opportunity 1 have waylaid and watched for you, but the opportunity has not yet ov- curred, In inmy better moments 1 resist this Violent temptation, and to-day, naving overcome it, I take my pen to inform you wi jerous person 1 and to entreat you to take care of yourself. 1 may again be visited by my horrible thoughts and I shail then say to mysell, ‘Kill oe General Ad.erberg and the lop off yout head, a4 they dit Hodel’s, and your miserable existence will be at an end!’ " It, therefore, Your Excellency, your own liie is dear to you, send your | officers as quickly as possible, and order them to | arrest me, for L swear that if 1 meet you, as truly as I believe in God, I think Eshould stick at nothing. When the police arrived at the house from whic Munk wrote his letter they found that this territ assaswin, weary of life, was & youth of seventeen, wh was strutting about his room with or stuck in his belt, No doubt the brain of this silly youngster had been fired by dwelling upon the novle deeds of | the miserable Hidel and Noviiing and probably the spirit of emulation was stirred within him by famili arity with whatever literature corres med in his native place with our own “penny dreadfuis.” A sound whipping would be the beat way to ettre these It would be —. fancies of such Juvenile herves, ratifying to learn that it has been administered by the authorities of Helsingtors, BEHIND THE BARS, THE EX-PRESIDENT OF THE MECHANICS AND LABORERS’ BANK OF JERSEY CITY LODGED IN JAIL—INDICLED FOR PERJURY, EMBEZZLE- MENT AND CONSPIRACY, AND UNABLE TO OB- TAIN BAIL--MORE BANK OFFICIALS INDICTED. John Halliard, ex-president of the Mechanics and Laborers’ Savings Bank of Jersey City, was last night lodged in the Hudson County (N. J.) Jail by Deputy Sheritf W. A, Peel, having been unable to procure bail, Halliard was arraigned in the Hudson County Court on Thursday on two indictments, one charg. ing him with perjury as president of the State Fire Insurance Company in having sworn falsely ax to the assets of the institu- tion, and another charging him with haying appropriated $6,000 of the insurance company’s as- sets to his own use, On the first indictment he was bailed by Mr. Daniel E. Cleary in the sum of $2,500, and on the second a relative becaine security for his appearance in the sum of $5,000, On Friday he was served with another capias on an indictment charging him with conspiring to defraud the depositors of the Mechanics and Laborers’ Savings Bank, and the constable who served the paper informed him that if he appeared in court yesterday Mr. Cleary would be- come security for him on the last indictment. Mr. Halliard promised to be present, and yesterday morn- ing left his residence with the intention of going to the Court House. THK CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT. On Jersey avenue he was met by Constable Joseph Locke, who took him into custody on a warrant issued by Judge Thomas Aldridge, charging him with embezzling $1,925 from Rev. Father Timothy, superior of the Passionist Fathers at St. Michael's Monastery, West Hoboken. Mr. Halliard went with the officer to Judge Aldridge’s court, where the complaint was read to him. It alleges that on August 31, 1877, Mr. Hulliard, acting as the agent of Father Timothy, was given by the latter $1,925 to pi mortgage held by the Mutual Lite Iusurance Company of this city, and that instead of paying the amount he appropriated the money to hix own use. Judge Aldridge Tequired the accused to give bail in the sum of $2,000 and Mr. John J. Dutfy, a Grove street plumber, became his security in that amount for the appearance of the accused. LODGED IN JAIL, After getting through with this transaction Mr. Halliard went to the County Court House. He found Mr. Cleary, his bondsman; but that gentleman in- formed him that, instead of becoming security tor him on the third indictment, he was going to apply for the vacation of his bond on the _ first indictment. His application was granted by the Court, and Mr, Halliard was given into the custoa of Deputy Sheriff Peel, who went with him in seare! of bail. The ofticer travelled all over Jersey City, but Halliard’s friends, one and ail, declined to assist him. At five o'clock, having failed to find any one who would become his bondsman, the officer took his prisoner to Sheriff Tofley’s office, where he wrote letters to his wite and sevéxal friends, aud then he ‘was taken over to the County Jail and given into the hands of Jailer Allen. SLIGHT SYMPATHY FOR THE ACCUSED. Halliard was widely known throughout New Jer- sey for his piety. For several years he has been Secretary ot St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Jersey City, and until within a year or two, it is said, possessed & great deal of influence with the clergy of the diocese of Newark. His brother officcrs in the bank, who are under bail, expressed some syin- pathy for him last night when they heard of his in- earceration, Ono of them, however, while he felt some pity for the man, said that he deserved it be- cause through all the troubles of the bank, which were charged to Halliard, he kept repeating to the directors that it was not his fault that he had acted as he had, but that it was on account of the Bishop. HALLIARD'S INFLUENCE. A few years ago Mr. Hulliard was reputed to be very wealthy and had such a standing in the community that he would, it was said last night, have round no difficulty in obtaining bail to the amount of $1,000,000, “He went to Jersey City twenty years ago and was converted from the Methodist religion by Rey. Father Hecker, through whose influence he ob- tained a position with Hecker Brothers, flour manu- facturers, where he was employed for years. While connected with St. Mary’s Church, Jersey City, in 1865 he obtained an’ agency under ‘the State Insurance Company, and in two years he had obtained such influence in the company as to be elected president, which position he held until asked for his resignation about a month ago, In 1869 the Mechanics and Laborers’ Bank was organized, and for the first eighteen months of its existence, he was vice president, which position he gave up to become its president. He remained president until deposed, November last, when the condition of the bank was made public.

A HeRavp reporter found him last evening sitting in # cell fronting the street in the second corridor of the County Jail, It was the cell lately vacated by “Cove” Bennett, the alleged accomplice of Mrs, Smith in the murder of her husband, Halliard was reading when the reporter entered, but arose and shook hands, He is of commanding appearance, standing fully six fect, with iron gray mustache and hair. He declined to make any statement, and ex- pressed his belief that he would be acquitted of all the charges brought against him, He did not expect to be confined in jail for any length of time, feeling sure that his iriemds would come to his assistance. He will be brought into court to-morrow on the third indictment tor conspiracy, upon which he has yet to be arraigned. BANK OFFICIALS IN TROUBLE, Thomas C. O'Callaghan, M. D., the new president of the bank; Jeremiah Sweeny und Adam J, Dittmar, members of the bank Finance Committee, were yes- terday arraigned in court on indictments charging them with conspiracy to detraud their depositors. ‘They pleaded not guilty, and were bailed in the sun of $2,500 each. FRENCH AND AMERICAN POLICEMEN, An American young lady, writing from Paris, con- trasts the way in which policemen there treat ladies on the streets with that of the New York Metropoli- tan considerably to’ the disadvantage of the con- servators of the peace in France’s gay capital. She say Tread an account the other day in one of our New York papers complaining of the alleged great want of politeness on the part of the policemen there, stating that in Paris the French official is every: where—always on hand when wanted—and that at home there is never one to be found within call, ‘The writer, whoever he was, evidently could not have been in this country of late years. “However it may have been formeriy L cannot tell, but {have taken particular trouble—no, not trouble either, for I could easily see without much trying the great difference between our American ways and those of both London and Paris. In Loudon there never was a policeman to help ladies over the stre:ts, ana, if you ask them for information, they give it to you in the very fewest ‘words possible—otten very gruftly—leaving you to find it as best you can or to seok farther iitormation of some Kind-faced passerby.

THE SECON Bowling Green Soon To Be Spanned by the Metropolitan *L.” _—_—_— BUILDINGS DOOMED TO DESTRUCTIO. Four Thousand Workmen to Solve Rapid Transit in this City. ‘The popular delight which greeted the announce- ment made a few days ago in’the columns of the Herap by President William R. Garrison and Vice President José F, Navarro that the Second avenue line of the Metropolitan “L” would now be imme- diately constructed, seems to have stimulated the manugers of the company to increased activity. It has been generally felt that the overcrowding on the ‘Third Avenue “1” would not cease until the busl- ness properly belonging to the Second avenue “L’’ would be taken off its hands, ‘That one road could never even begin to satisfy the enormous demands of the entire east side traffic has been so plainly per- ceived that a movement is already reported as being on foot among Yorkville and Harlem rosidents to send formal delegations to the Metropolitan “L” Company in order to urge the fastest possible completion of the Second avenue line, The estimates as to the probable traffic on the Second avenue “L” vary greatly, and while some ex- perts on the subject of rapid transit have put it as low as 45,000 a day, others have placed it as high as 80,000, It is interesting in this connection to know that the traffic on the Sixth avenue “L” is larger than was that on the horse car line beneath it, which was, before the “L' wus opened, about 50,000 per day, The traffic on the Second avenue horse car line is now about 50,000 a day, and allowing for asimilar increase as on Sixth avenue also, and for the natural overflow from the Third ayenue “L,” the traffic would not be less than 70,000 aday. Be- fore, however, this vast travel can be accommodated an immense work has to be accomplished, and this has now already been begun. SPANNING BOWLING GREEN ON BROADWAY. While the Ninth avenue “L” crosses the Battery in its continuation to the east side, the Metropolitan line will curve from its present New Church street terminus into Broadway and, passing straight over Bowling Green; launch into Beaver street on its rapid way to the Second avenue branch, and on to the Harlem River. Broadway and this ancient land- mark—Bowling Green—will see some marked changes by reason of this extension of the Metropolitan “1” to the cust side. Buildings are to be torn down and the venerable clms of this pretty little bit of land- seape will be flanked by the handsome iron columns which are soon to mark the progress of rapid transit way up to High Bridge. The Metropolitan “L’" have purchased here from William H. Vanderbilt and others, between Greonwich street and Broudway, several blocks and a number of build- ings, costing altogether over $1,000,000, in order to obtain room for downtown repair shops and for an easy curve ‘sto Bowling Green. At present the Sixth avena. “L” terminates in Morris street, and in what might be virtually called a cul de sac. It has no outlet whatever, and is blocked up by several high buildings fronting Greenwich street and running down some distance toward Broadway. These are old, vickety warchouses, sailors’ boarding houses, emigrant boarding houses, tenements, &¢., and the city will certainly not sustain a yast loss if they are pulled down by the Metropolitan “L.” Here, at Morris street, the track of the Ninth avenue “L’ will run quite close to that of the Sixth avenue “L” and people will have the advantage of being easily transferred from the one to the other. Those who are anxious to kuow at what precise point the Metropolitan “L" will pass out on Broadway and cross over to the east side need only stop to look at the low cotton warehouse .immediately above the of- fice of the New York “L.” The latter is numbered 7 Broadway, aud the cotton warehouse should there- fore be No. 9, but as it is a very antiquated struc- ture its correct number is somewhat in dispute. It is on the very spot that the “iron horse,” so eagerly looked forward to by thousands of east side residents: will shoot out over Broadway, clear Bowling Green at one dart, and rattle over into the other side of the city. The columns will probably be placed on both sides of Bowling Green the entire span over the little park being shorter than it is on many points on the Sixth avenue line. WORKING AMID THE DEBRIS. As soon as the buildings on Greenwich street and Broadway had been purchased workmen were en- gaged to either pull them down or cut them away to meet the necessities of the curve. ‘Then came’ the bitter cold weather, and the company, with more kindiy solicttude tor the well being of their laborers than “soulless corporations” are generally credited with, thought that if excavations had to be dug here, piers built and columns erected, the men might as weil do the work under shelter as in the open air. And thus a large force of workmen have been digging amid the débris of the already gutted buildings, lay- ing bricks, setting stones, placing the iron bases, and raising the columns through the ceilings. These tumble down buildings, still preserving their likeness to their former condition, but with an embryo iron “L” railway in their in- terior, present a spectacle of the most picturesque confusion. In order that the workmen might not be disturbed there is noentrance from Morris street or New Church street, and the only way of penetrat- ing these strongo scenes is by walking along the track from Rector street to the building abutting th Morris strect terminus, where a private stairw leads the visitor into the doomed structures. The effect of the work upon an unprepared mind is just as if one came home and found a number of be- timed workmen digying an excavation, building a pier and raising an iron column in one's dining room. Close by the first building where these changes are being accomplished are the old-time residences of John Fox and Matt, Brennan, in Morris street. This first structure, which is to be taken down to make room for the “L," was an old gun store. The next houses, fronting Greenwich stroct, were used as lager beer saloons and emigrant boarding ys. No, 35 ix the Hotel Stockholm, kept by August Lindquest, and still used as a rendezvous tor Swedish and Danish sailors and emigrants. No. 33 was ove of the fashionable residences of 100 years ago. No, 31 is @ Swiss emigrant boarding house, which still displays the sign ‘Fur Schweizer Hetmath’’ (To the Swiss Home). No. 25 is @ Scandi navian boarding house, and No. 18—the last of the doomed row of structures—e United States bonded warehouse. The Metropolitan “1 Company have also acquired the property now used by the New York Company as their offices at Broadway after the ist of May, and it will be q ld to suo the older company, who have had their offices hore for nearly ten years, move away and make room for their young ri ‘The New York “L” will establish their offices elsewhere, but will probably retain here their present sidings for the storage of their Ninth avenue gars, + FOUR THOUSAND MEN TO BK PUT TO WORK. When the work here is done and the buildings are either entirely demolished or cut away the road will have obtainod a smooth, splondia curve of 215 degrees radius—a carve three timos a# casy ds that in Cham bers street, for instance, which is only 90 degrees radius. Meanwhile three large corps of engineers been sent all along the Second avenue line, rough Beaver, Poarl, Division and Ailen streets, First avenue, Twenty-third street, and Second avenue m River, to lay out the foundations, norrow submit the first by his enginoers, to the Commissioner of Public Works for his approval, and as soon as these matters are settled and the pre- liminary arrangements are completed Vice President Navarro, of the New York Loan and Improv Company (which really builds the road ’ mon will be put to work on the Second avenu with the 2,000 len already now at work betwe Bighty-third and 120th streets. On the Ninth and Eighth avenues the company will have in their em- ployment next month not less than four thousand and no wonder, therefore, that people are be- ginning to credit the statements of Messrs. Garrison and Navarro that both lines will be completed to the Harlem River by August 1, As the Second avenue “L,”” however, Will require an entirely new equipment, and as it took the company a month to equip and finish for operation the Sixth avenue line after it had been it will probably be September 1 betore the Second Avenue “L* will be opened for traffic Hariem River, while the west side ex- m Will doubtless be finished and opened by iy 1.

THE NOISK PANACKA, While the compiaints on the subject of noise have entirely ceased since the cold weather set in and necessitated the closing of doors and windows the company have still been busy to devise means for en tirely obvinting the diftieulty for all time to come | Dr. John Baird said yesterday that the published ‘The particu- | statements as to the company's acceptance of Mrs. Isnae Walton's plan for the road were entirely erro- neous, In the first place, it had not been decided use the invention for the road, for it was perceive ‘that it would make reat trouble in the suowy season, D AVENUE “L” | 7 The company had simply been willing to pay Mre, Walton, ae ait as ot rg seegeeyd tor behag lowed to experiment wit ir inventions. 8 Walton had been paid $1,000, a seeond thousand to be paid when she obtained a utand a third when er invention Lad been applied to one mile of road, ‘This makes the total 33,000 instead of $10,000, ax has been stated. In addition she is to receive half the royalties to be paid by other railroads which might desire to use the plun. Mr, Baird said the difficulty about this invention was that it was claimed by least ten others, among them by George R. Osborne, of No. 153 Fourth avenu nuceted with the internal revenue office. ‘The any had also paid another iaventor $1,000 for having informed them of a noisc- deadening apparatus used on a Pennsylvania road, which passes over housetops, and apj to be valuable, Altogether, Mr. Baird said, the company had already spent $30,000 in their efforts to the noise and to remove all ground for complaint on the part of the property owners and residents along the line. DOWN WITH THE “‘L” RAILROAD, To vax Epiron ov THe HERALD:— Allow me to make my many complaints against the “L” railroad all inalump, A few days ago I rode on Third Avenue “L’’ Railroad, In the car in whieh I spread my sovereign dignity as a five cent passengeh the conductor was counting the tickets. I demanded to kuow how many tickets he took in, ‘None of your business,” was his answer. Departed shades of murdered car horses!

In the name of my offended dignity I demand the immediate discharge of that conductor. His number is 99,999,999, Some three weeks ago 1 was nearly two blocks from ‘Twenty-third street station, Iran to get in time for the approaching train, but did not succeed.

Fieid, I command you to discharge that gutekeeper at once. You will always find him at his post except when he is absent. About six weeks ago I was riding on the Third Avenue “L” Railroad, an I asked the conductor to let me out at East ‘Twenty-fifth strect. “No station there,” was his an- swer. ‘Station or no station, as a sovereign citizen, with the glorious constitution of the United States of America at my back, I have a right to “step in” and “step out’ whenever aud wherever I please. Thei fore I demand from the president of the “L” railroad to furnish the conductors with “fire escapes,” so that an American sovereign citizen can get out or on the train at any time and at any place. It is unconstitu- tional to imprison a man without cause. About three mouths ago I boarded one of the cars, and the brakeman failed to show me that civility due from a slave to a master. True, he said nothing; but he kept his cap on his bead while I was boarding the train.

The reign of slush was fairly inaugurated yester- day. For several hours the thaw made rapid prog- ress. ‘The snow scemed bent on throwing off her pristine robes of purity. The delicate, gossamer, glittering flakelets with which she spangled the streets on Wednesday night had long since vanished, Not one of her old tiara of gems was left. Like a fallen beauty, sinking from palace to pavement, from Murray Hill to a dance saloon, she began in splendor and ended in dirt. Huge cakes of clotted snow lay beside the sidewalk in layers of brown and yellow and green, like a Neapolitan ice. The horse cars plunged through & pea soup of slush, a Jouille baisse of mud, Stagnant pools gathered ou each side of the street. Passengers swore, pushed and waded their way through the mire. Dainty ladies’ boots would lay themselves light as an Arab charger’s tread on a tempting sur- tace of snow and would at once sink deep into the slimy depths, for the mud ix a chartered libertine and plays strange tricks with the slender shafts and vediments that support the female form. Men's uge Arctics stepped boldly in where the angela feared to tread. One bold woman was seen in a pair of genuine hunting tops. And, indeed, it was a car- uival of boots—a shoemaker’s paradise. Of all the members of the community Crispin at least was happy. ‘he attack began from the house tops. As the sun gained power the supernal flood poured down apace. For a while, a very little while, it dropped as the gentle dew from heaven. Even then it was never “twice blessed,” being, on the contrary, quite vigor- ously objurgated by purchasers of new hats and sonomists of old oncg. But when it came with rush, like a troop of wild Afghans down the Khyber Pass, then the Post Office Was turned into a miniature Niagara, When from slanting roofs, from mullioned windows, from gables, spires and pilasters 4 stream of water was poured into the streets, then the execra- tions grew loud and deep. | Every frozen pipe in the city poured fortn its rill.

In Wall street a well known banker was secn to execute a figure of eight upon the sidewalk, clutch wildly at tue by- standers, and end in ravishing from its socket the cout sleeve of a peanut vender, A wit of the Stock Exchange was observed seated on the curbstone in anything but # humorous mood.

HOW AN ENRAGED HUSBAND CALLED THE Alm LEGED DESIGNER ON HIS DOMESTIC HAPPI~ NESS TO ACCOUNT. Michel Rinaldo and Josef Ruchio a few months ago formed a partnership and started a beer saloon in “Battle row,” First avenue, between 18th and 10th streets, Rivaldo furnished the capital and Ruchio the “brains” of the new firm; that is, the latter stood behind the bar aud by his eloquence and persuasive manners drew the money from customers’ pockets, Ruchio succeeded so well that Rinaldo after awhile began to absent himself from the saloon leaving his partuer to conduct the business in his own way. Mrs, Rinaldo occupied in company with li husband a room in the rear ot the saloo and would occasionally drop in to see how Ruchio ‘was gotting along. ‘the lady being attractive in both form and feature Ruchio fell in love with her, and, taking advantage of her husband's absence, a few days ago, a8 she alleges, mate an improper proposi- tion to her. Mrs. Rinaldo says she indignantly repelled Ruchio's advances, and when she met her husband acquainted him with the tacts of the case. Rinaldo brooded revenge, and on Friday afterno carried a well matured plan into operation. Ho entered the saloon, closed the doors and windows, and then told Ruc who anxiously watehing his mov that he all. Then, pro- dacing he handed one to Ruchio and bade him ime on. A fearful conflict ¢ followed, which lasted until Officer Pettit burst open the door and separated the combatants, in time, per- haps, to prevent a murder, Both were taken, cov- ered with blood, to the Tweuty-third precinct station house, and yesterday arraigned before Judge Dutty in the Harlem Police Court. Rinaldo told his story first, and Ruchio emphatically denied his statement. fhen Mrs. Rinaldo came forward and gaye her ver- sion of the difficulty in so straighttorward a m that Ruchio quailed bevore it and hung his head. Judge Daffy committed Ruchio, in default of $500, to keep the peace for six months. Miter Ruchio had been taken down stairs Judge Duffy asked Mrs. Rinalao why her husband did not purchase Ruchio's interest im the businoss and diss solve the pertnership. | “Oh, Judge,” replied Mrs. Rinaldo, “if we did that he would start another saloon and take away all our customers.” “Well,” an- swered His Honor, “you have got rid of your wicked partner for a time at least. So go home, opem your! saloon and try to live in peace.” INDICTED OFFICIALS.
