Ces es How the Negro Drugged and De- ceived the ‘Beautiful Emma.” A HUSBAND'S CONFIDENCE. Code of Morais as Practised by Jesse Rogers. ‘TazEWELL, Tenn., Feb. 3, 1879. “That's,Tazewell!’’ said the driver to your corre- spondent, as he reined his horses on the summit of Church Mountain and pointed to the front, There, perched raggedly on the hillside, was the little vil- lage, famous before the war for its exclusiveness, famous during the war for the terrible guerilla fight, ing that was waged about sits outskirts, and famous since for a series of blooay tragedies, cul- minating in the Rogers-Jackson affair, upon the investigation of which I was bent. Volumes might be filled with the history of the fierce loves and hates of that little town that lay before us, so still and desolate in the wintry noon— of the deadly. feuds between the Union and rebel families, of the crazy struggles of desperadoes, und of the troubles that sprung from a breed of too amorous gallants and of over-weak wives or maidens. It had little the look of a village that even the tempest of conflict could waken into activity, and indeed it is said to have lost-much of its old timefire. A church spire, bespeaking peace, rose from the heart of the town; a court house that promised law and order fronted us; a fine academy, promising intelligence, crowned the’ hill and left us the one weak point of the bird’seye view, an exceedingly flimsy jail, out of which any self-respecting felon would hasten to escape. We stopped at the hotel run by Sheriff Mays, and I at once sought that functionary, for Lhad beer informed in Morristown that he knew really more about the Rogers-Jackson matter than any man outside of the immediate ring, being Rogers’ coniidential friend, [found him not only ready to talk it over with mo but full of information. SHERIFF MAYS’ STATEMENT. Stretching his legs up against the fireplace he be- gan his narrative by saying, “What I.am going to tell you about it is what I know to be the truth, and what lam going to swear to in tho Kentucky trial next May.” “When did. you first know of Jackson’s- intimacy with Mrs. Rogers?” I asked, with a view of getting him started. “Well, I never knew it until it came out; but I ‘was satisfied of it long before, perhaps a year or six months, Ed Jackson was always a great man after women. He gave pretty: much his whole time gallanting around them. He used to braga heap about his accomplishments with thom, and fre- quently gave me the names of white ladies that -ho said he had in his power. He said he would carry notes for their husbands to other women, and then tell them about it. He nover mentioned Jess Rogers’ wife to me, but I told him he had better leave the town, for I was afraid somebody would kill him, for his talk, if for nothing else. One day Henry Géin, a negro boy, told me that Ed had told him he was intimate with Emma Rogers. He kept bragging At luct he took Henry to places where he could sea for himself that he was telling the truth. When Hen: told me I tackled Ea about it. Atter awhile he confessed it to me and I told him he must leave | town at once, He wouldn't do it, however, but said he could nianage to get out of it—that they couldn’t “Why didn’t you tell Rogers about it?” “I didn’t know what todo. I had known Jess.and Emma for years. They had boarded in my house for four years, and a more loving and affectionate couple I never saw. I didn’t believe it at first. I knew Jess would kill him if he ever heard it. So I thought I would wait. Atter a while I got a message from Emma to come to seo her. I didn’t go. The boy kept coming back after me, so I finally made up my mind to go. I went there and there was nobody there but Emma and me. We talked awhile and then I asked her what the had sent for me for, She said she hadn't sent, (then told her what the boy had said and she rose up and said:—Do you think I am that sortof a woman? I told her that in the four years I had known her I thought she was as pure a woman as I ever knew, but that if reports were trne I had been mistaken in her. She yot very much excited at this, but I wouldn’t talk to her and I left, Now, my opin- ion is that the woman was just dying under the load she was carrying and that she sent for me to tell me about it and try to get out of it. I didn’t go at first, and I think saw her and scared her ont of it, She was in a fearful state for that year orso, She ‘was sick in bed a heap of the time and the rest of the time she was mighty nigh crazy, I know, tuo, she was begging her husband to go away from Tazewell all the time.” HOW ROGERS DISCOVERED HIs WIFE'S PERFIDY, ‘ Bi og true that Rogers knew of 1t before the elec- ion 2” “Why no!- The way he found it out, or suspected it, was this:—On election day he missed Ed from the Reus and went to look him up. He thought he might be down at, his (Roger's) house, as he had been working there. Ho went gown there and couldn't find either Ed. or Emma, He looked through a room | or two for his wife, and then went out into the gar- den to see if he could find Ed, When he came back in the house Ed was in the front piazza and his wife was just coming down stairs. He asked her what she had been doing, and she said she had been look- ing after the bedding. This was the first suspicious circumstance Jess ever noticed. It was on election day. On the Monday following he came to me and told me his wife had said I had been to see her, and asked me what I went for. I told him ali about my visit, and he then asked me what I meant by ‘if reports are true.’ I then told him the whole thing. It struck him ‘all in a heap,’ and he said he must see Ed Jackson and Goin at once. I had noticed all day that some- thing was weighing him down. I learned afterward that that morning he had heard that Scott, a negro boy who stayed at his house, had spread some sort of report about his wife. He took the boy into a room, aud the boy deniet it. He then whipped him and ‘went and saw his wife. His wife told nim about my | visit, and he came to me right away. It was an howr before he would get to the subject, but kept beating about it, When he had heard what I had to say he | went right straight away after it.> I yot Jackson anit | Henry in a rvom. and told him I would take him to ‘them if h¢ would promise me not to kill them, He romised, and 1 went with him.

Then Emma was taken sick, and went to her bed. She was in bed well nigh six months off and on, and she thought she had been poisoned. She told this to her friends frequently, and said she knew she wouldn't live long, Everybody will tell you what a terrible time she bad, Some of them even thought she was go! erazy. I don't know what was the mattag with her, te may have been her worry over Jess le =her sick. Anyhow, she was mighty bad off. It has come out now that had mi Delieve she was poisoned by the Jady that Jess was said to be flying around, and that he could cure her by giving her certain medicine: She commenced taking his medicine, and he told her he was drugging her husband at the same time to get him to quit his other connection. I suppose by these means and after months of trying he succeeded in winning her. I don’t know how long it lasted, but after itcommenced I suppose she was afraid to say anything. [think she started to tell me once. The bundle of letters Jess put in my hand when he came from the house, just before he shot at Ed, were old, worn letters, signed Caroline Patton, and tell- ing him to tefl the lady to Keep up the medicine and that a tew more doses would cure her and make everything allright. Emma handed them to him when she confessed to him.” ROGERS FONGIVES EMMA, “What about Rogers’ reccnciliation with his wife?’ “That has caused @ heap of talk. What I know oon told. When Jess came up to the stable atter he had run Ed out of town he said to me, ‘Jim, Tam going to take Em home to her father this evening. I’m not going to live with her any more, but I'm going to maintain her as long as she lives. She's been a good wife to me @ long time and she shan’t suffer.’ Even then he didn’t talk bitterly against her, and seemed to think there was some ex- pansicn of her connection with Ed. He couldu’t elieve it was just natural, He went away with her. and their little boy in a buggy that evening. It wi twenty-one miles to her father’s house. What passed between them in that long ride I don’t know. In about a week he came back, and he said he had looked into the matter and was satisfied that his wife had been drugged and deluded into the commission of her crime, and that he had determined to stand by her. He then brought her to Tazewell and lived with her as he had always done,” “What do you suppose changed his mind ?”" “Why, nothing on this earth but love for his wife and confidence in her statement that she had been trapped and drugged into the thing. I never saw a auan love a woman so, When he was out, before and after arrest, he had but one idea, and that was to be where he could get to see Emma. There was some talk about the Caywoods forcing him to live with her. Anybody who knows Jess Koyers will know that is a lie. He ain’t the man to be forced into anything. ‘And then I know the Caywoods never triea him. They left him to act as he pleased, Public opinion didn’t force him, for his friends were all against it at first, 1among the rest. It has hurt him with a great many. It wasn't money that torced him, because he is about the most prosperous man inthe county, and he will get nothing from her. It was nothing but love for the woman, ahd his friends have about all made up with him on it. Of course he knows more about the case than any- body else, and he is a cool, level headed man. He don’t care a cent what the people say abont him. He just does what he thinks is right and holds his head up. All who haye seen them since this thing say they are quiet and happy. He told me, the weck it happened, she would destroy herself if he threw ol.” 4 ROGERS’ SURRENDER AND TRIAL, “Where are the mon who are charged with mur- dering Jackson at present?” 5 “I left Jess Rogers and Bill Caywood (Em’s uncle) the other day, They were on their way from Ken- tucky. They came in here the first morning of the Circuit Court and surrendered themselyes to me. ‘They said they were going to give up and’ fight the thing through in the courts, The first thing 1 heard from them since they left the town after the reward was offered was a message from Jess to have a warm room ready anda half dozen cans of oysters, that the: were coming in to surrender, Sure enough they did. ‘The next morning I put two guards over them and they were standing in a room in my hotel, when Dan Gibson rushed in the door with his pistol out, and dropping it on Bill Caywood told him to surrender. Caywood started to pull his knife, and Bob Stone, my deputy, had his pistol out to shoot Gibson, when I pushed’ it down and stopped tho ’thing by explaining that the men were under ar- rest already. This is all the attempt that was ever. made to arrest them, and it didn’t Jast half a minute. If I had known where they were Ishould have been obliged to try them; but it would have been tough work to bring thea out of Powell's tocome. They went into court Tere, had one of their cases tried and then told me they.wanted to go to Kentucky and surren- der. They rode off to the valley and I followed them in a day or two, and we went on to Williamsburg. ‘There has been some taik about the big crowd that went. There were just fourteen, and it was all I could do to keep fifty from going. Jess was very particular to have no big crowd, so only their own relatives went. I had tl ui with me, At Williamsburg they went to trial on a writ of habeas corpus, and were let out on $5,000 bonds, The case iasted several days and the State piled in witnesses, but no case was made, Parson Peace, who has been published as saying that he saw all the torture and maiming on the mountain, was intro- duced, He swore that he had never seen any such thing, that he never raw any men with « negro on the mountain, and that the day he crossed the mountain was the day the road workers discovered the body, several da; tter the killing, He smelt something peculiar on the mountain, and when he met the road workers told them of it. They went to look and found the body. This is his testimony as he sworo it, and the story of his seeing any torture or killing is all made up. His testimony will show for itself. It ison record, The only thing about the men was that one witness swore he saw four men carrying a negro by his house, beyond the mountain, ‘Their bouds were at once made by Kentuckians, who heard the testimony. They were asked for $5,000, and the bond siguers had over $65,000. They then started back home, and may be here any day. Ivan put you where you can sec them without any troubl to-morrow. Idon’t kuow where the other men are. With this my interview with Mays closed. It may be said that Mays is a strong friend of the Rogers and Caywoods, and also that I have been repeatedly re- ferred to him as the man who knew more about the case, probably, than any other man besides Jesse Rogers himself. ; THE FEELING IN TAZEWELL. As to the feeling in Tazewell, it is dificult to aiag- 7 nose it. The feeling is clearly against the reconcilia- tion of Rogers with, his wife.’ The inen generally “cannot understand it’? and the women denounce it bitterly. His friends sustain him Warmly, and many others say that they suppose he has testimony on the subject that the public knows nothing of. He will bring his wife to the hotel next week to live. She will ineet with a cool reception, but he says he will live it down. It must be noted that no sort of trial of the case has ever been had, and that The public has nothing therefore but go pe Rogers is worth $18,000 to $20,000, being probably the wealthiest’ man in the county. His relatives are all thrifty and well off, as aro the Caywoods and their kinsmen, These families have beeu all powerful in the county since their union, which has been made complete-by several intermar- riages. They are braye to a notable degree aud clan- nish in the extreme. They own handsome places and are clustered about Poweil’s Valley.

REPORT OF CHIEF BATES IO THE COMMISSION- ERS—ANOTHER EXAMINATION TO BE MADE. ‘The report of the investigation by Chief Bates, of the Fire Department, of the management of the recent conflagrations at Nos. 62 and 64 Worth street and Nos. 462 to 468 Broadway’was officially con- siderod yesterday by the Board of Fire Commission- ers. The first alarm, the report specifies, for the Worth street fire wag sent out from box No, 86, at the corner of Broadway d Thomas street, at fitty-two minutes after seven o'clock on the evening of the 17th ult. Engine companies Nos, 7, 27 and 31, and hook and ladder companies Nos, 1 and 8 responded. ‘There was no unnecessary delay in reaching the fre other than that occasioned by the depth of the snow in the streets, Chief of Battalion Bonner reached the scene of the fire three minutes atter the alarm was received. The third alarm was sent out by Assistant Chief Shay at seven minutes after eight o'clock. The delay in sending the third alarm was due in part to the box, No. 86, not working and the time lost in reaching the box at Church and Leonard streets. Chief Bonner, Foremen Kehoe, Kittson and Bradley, and Assistant Foreman Mc- Donald state that, upon their arrival in response to the first alarm, the flames were rolling out of the third and tourth story windows over the sidewalk and lapping the upper windows and cornices on each side, An insurance patrolman was found on the stairway almost exhausted. The panels in part of the partition were broken and space made for the use of lines, but the flames drove the tiremen down stairs, and increasing, cut them off from the doorway and forced them to the Thomas street side for safety. In less than ten minutes afwer the alarm was received the building was a complete furnace from cellar to roof, The buildings burued covered a space of 115 feet 9 inches on Worth street and 77 feet 2 inches on Thomas street. hey were 8 stories high trom sub- cellar aud 82 feet from sidewalk, and were numbered 68 und 0, 62 and 64, 66 and 68 Worth street, and 66 and 68, 70 aud 72 Thomas. street. The distance from street to street is 160 feet. The fire probably broke out on the tourth floor of the building Nos, 62 and 64 Worth street. ‘That the fire wus stopped,” concludes the report, “within the space burned I doem a very fortunate circumstance. Had it succeeded in driving the firemen trom and en- veloping Nos. 54 and 56 Worth street, the west side of that street, upon which part of the extensive estab- lishment of H. B. Claflin & Co, is located, would have been entirely at the mercy of the flames. Tho preservation of this building snd the buildings sur- rounding is due to the exertions of the force of the department, who, dying the whole progress of the fire aud until it was"under control, worked diligently and faithfully. THR GRAND STREET FIRE. ‘The first alarm was received for the fire at Nos. 462 to 463 Broadway, at thirty-two minutes past poe o'clock, on the night of the 14th of January, Assistan Chief of Department Shay was the iirst oificer at the fire, and he immediately trausmitted the third alarm, which was received at -the Central Office at thirty- five minutes past nine o’clock. When he arrived at Crosby and Grand streets the fire was coming from the windows of the fourth-and fifth floors on Grand street and reaching trom the Crosby street end to about one-third the distance toward Broadway, the flames spreading outward toward the street about ten teet, wing an intenee heat. On the Crosby street end the fire had extended half way across the building. Dense volumes of smoke were poring from the windows of the two upper floors on Broad- way. Chief of Battalion Bonner passed into the northern part of the fourth floor through a stairway at No. 463 Broadway and found that the fire had extended to that part through the parti- tion and was working down to the third floor. While the firemen were on the stairs tho machinery of the elevator fell, carrying large quanti- ties of burning materials to the lower floors. The men remained at the head of the stairs about twenty minutes, until driven down by the flames, ‘There is every reason to believe that the fire had been burn- ing for a long time and had gained great headway betore the first alarm was sent out. No ladders were ordered up, for the reason that parts of the large gal- vanized iron cornices were dropping to the sidewalk and the brown stoue trimmings were flying in every direction from the heat. The area covered by the building was 100 feet by 200 fect. The superficial surface of cach floor was about twenty thousand feet. The vast quantities of material stored on the floors created a heat which required the use ot all the streams to keep down. Chiet Bates concludes his report by sayiug that “the conduct of the mom- bers of the department was in every way commend- able.” ‘The Board determined to begin their public inves- tigation into the causes of the fire at ten o’clock this niorning. : ALLEGED INCENDIARIES. The trial of Abraham D. Freeman and Charles Bernstein for arson in the first degree was resuinod in the Court of Oyer and Terminer yesterday, before Judge Barrett. The prosecution was ropresénted by AssistantWDistrict Attorney Rollins and the defence by ex-Judge Curtis and Edwin M. Fox. At halt-past ten o’clock Mr. Rollins began the opening for the prosecution, dwelling upon the line of circiimstan- tial proof which he proposes to offer to couyiet the prisoners with the incendiary firo at No. 11 Lud low street on the night of November 10, 1878, Fire Marshal Sheldon was put upon the stand, and at the conclusion of his ect examination ex-Judgze . Curtis subjected him 18 a cross-examination, in which for the first time the theory for the detence was foreshadowed, This theory was to the effect that the je number of fires within the past six months made it very necessary for some victim or victims to be offered up as & sacrifice to appease public opinion and show that those whose usiness it was to detect incendiaries were active in the performance of their duty. Lioutenant Periey, of the Fire Department, testiiied to having been detailed by ire Marshal Sheldon to watch the prisowers at the bar for a considerable time prior to the alleged incendiary fire. He swore to having followed them on many occasions, somoe- times in disguise; on the night of November 10 he followed them into the house which was burned, dnd saw them enter a room on _ the third floor, where they remained some ten minutes, when Freeman went down stairs and remained on the sidewalk talking to a citizen until his alloged co-conspirator joined him some fifteen minutes later. Shortly afterward a fire broke out in the room and Perley ‘extinguished it. He smelt kerosene and believed the tire to bean incendiary one. Counsel for the prisoners cross-examined hin at great length. The witness several times corrected statements that he had made and was frequently obliged to refer to a little memorandum book, in which he claimed to have kept a record of his detec- tive work. His cross-examination will be resumed this morning. THE PROFESSIONAL BURGLAR. CONFESSION BY PEACE, THE BANNER CROSS MUR- DERER, OF HIS PAST CRIMES, {From the London Globe, Jan, 25.) At the conclusion of the examination of Peace yesterday the convict made an extraordinary state” ment. On being removed from the corralor by the warders he recovered in @ marvellously short time from his sceming prostration, and began chaffing those about him. It is under- stood that Peace has made no secret of his career after the Banner Cross murder. To afriend he gid, | “Do you want to know how I dodged the bobbies ” | and of receiving a reply in the affirmative he said, “Well, I will tell you, then,” He asked them to turn their backs to him « bit. They did so, and were astounded to find that Peace had completely altered the expression of his face and so protruded his chin and curled his lips that, * under ordinary circumstances, it would have been impossible to recognise him, expecially as he had vy the peculiar contortion of the features forced the biood into his face until he looked like a mulatio. One of the spectators said, “No wonder you could get clear from Sheffield when you can chanyo your face like that.’ Whereupon Peace lau, and said, “I can do some dodges. I can dodge any detective in existence. { did not change my face much when I left Sheffield, but 1 will tell you about it. After what took place at the Banner Cross terrace I went across fields in the direc- tion of liffe Hall to Crokke and ate, and then buck down to Broomhill, where I took acab and ot out and went to the house of a relative in ‘Spring street, and | clothes.

I ileft the tram at Normant and retaining the ticket, took anothor one for York I ed in York a night or two, and tsing: the ticket, | went on to Beverley and then to Hull.” There, he went on to say, he committed several robberies, and afterward visited Leeds, Bradford and Manchester. «FOOLING THE “noBEY.” From the last named place he journeyed to Notting- ingham, where he met with Mrs. Thompsou. He had not been long in Nottingham betore he commit- ted a silk robbery, taking goods to the value of about £500, He waa stoppiny at a lodging house with M: Thompson, and they liad gone to bed oue even- i acd policeman went imto their room, Peawo je to be very indignant at the man’ intrusion, and asked him what he wanted, Continuing his narrative, Peace said:— “Tho officer wanted to know who Twas and where L came from, and Tat once replied that I was a hawker. ‘The ofticer asked foy my license aud what Iwas carry- ing. 1 told bim that my license and the goods 1 was carrying were down suairs, and said if he would yo down and wait till my wife aud I got up [ would show them to him. The officer walked out of the room, and no sooner had he gone than I got out of the window and escaped. 1 took shelter in a house close by and sent the landlady of that house back to the loses how from which I escaped.to fetch my boots, When Itonnd that Not- tingham Was getting too hot tor me Leame to She fell, and did w ge we Oue of the piaces L robbed was @ house at the corner ot Havelock square, and I did very weli there, LI saw the bobby euming through, oud 1 left, At the time that the inquest was being held upon Mr, Dyson I was in Sheffield, and on,several occasions I went to Hull to see my wife and gave her money. Afterward I went to London, taking Mrs. Thompson with me. On the two occasions while I was in London I met Bill Fisher, aman with whom Lhad worked. ‘The first time I met him was on the Holborn Viaduct, and as I passed him I heard him say, ‘Why, that’s Peace.’ I lost myself imie- diately, but not long after I met him again on the steps leading to Farringdon street. On ‘that occa- sion our eyes met again, and I was off directly. I have often met the best London detectives and stared at them right in the face, but they could not recognize me.” DAVENPORT’S DOINGS. UNITED STATES DISTRICT ATTORNEY WOODFORD SAYS HE AUTHORIZED THE CHIEF SUPER- VISOR TO ISSUE WARRANTS OF ARREST WHEN HE HAD SUFPICIENT CAUSE. The Davenport Investigation Committee resumed work yesterday morning at the usual hour, At tho opening of the session M. M. Herr, sergeaut-at-arms of the committee, reported that he had visited the oflice of City Judge Cowing, but did not serve the subp@na upon His Honor for the reason that the calendar of the court was very heavy and the Judge could not conveniently appear before Saturday, It is understood that in the meantime Mr, Davenport will prepare a series of questions to which Judge Cowing will reply by aflidavit. It is said that the object of calling Judge Cowing is to show that Mr. Davenport made no discrimination in the exercise of his duties before or on election day. District Attorney Woodford testified: —Was United States District Attorney since February, 1876; the correspondence between witness, Mr. Dayenport and Attorney General Devens in June, 1878, in regard to alleged fraudulent naturalization papers, especially those of 1868, tended to show # design on Mr. Dayen- port's part to get either the District Attorney or the Attorney General to indorse his action; the Attorney General in his letter deprecated the process of get- ting possession of the naturalization papers 6f 1858, saying that if warrants of arrest were issued they should be for criminal proceedings and, should be earrisd out, and the only action he” would in- dorse was the punishment of criminals; Mr. Davenport then read a letter which he had written to Attorney General Devens, in which fated that the United States goverument had ex- pended in this city from $60,000 to $100,000 each year since 1870 to secure a fair election, and asked instructions in regard to the arrest of the holders of fraudulent papers. Attorney General Devens’ reply, the witness said, was complimentary to Mr. Daven- | nde General Woodford further testitied that Mr. enport called upon him about the lst of Novem- ber and told him that very many persons had regis- tered under papers of 1868, and that they had no right to do so; he asked the witness what action he should take in the matter. In reply Mr. Woodford told him that the time between the ist and Sti of November was entirely too short to examine the many cases; that he must use his own judgment in the matter, act carefully and justly, and do as near right as pos- sible; and in this event the Law Department would sustain him in his action. Mr. Woodford said he authorized Mr. Davenport, where he had sufficient cause, to issue warrants of arrest. Upén cross-examination Mr. Woodford said he be- lieved the Grand Jury had found twenty-one indict- ments against begets voting on ‘’68” papers; he knew of no law by which a commissioner could take porsession of naturalization papers. Colonel Wingate offered to show by this witness “that some of Mr. Davenport's accounts were cut down by Attorney General Devens, and he claimed that Mr. Davenport was actuated by two motives, one political and the other pecuniary, This assertion was denied by Mr. Davenport, arid ut the session to- day the committee wiil decide upon the admissibility of this evidence, CHAMBER OF COMMEROE. DISCUSSION ON THE YORK-ANIWERP RULES— 4 THE BOARD OF HEALTH DROPS THE SUGAR ADULTERATION INVESTIGATION. s For years past no such numerous assemblage of niembers appeared at a monthly meeting as was present yesterday afternoon at the Chamber of Com- merce, which convened at one o’clock, with Mr. Samuel D. Babcock, the president, in the chair. The reason of this multifarious gathering was attributa- ble to the fact that the vexed ‘‘York-Antwerp” rules were to be finally acted upon and disposed of. These rules are for the guidance of shippers, shipowners and underwriters, and naturally many of the mer- chants belonging to the Chamber are deeply inter- ested. After the adoption of the minutes of the previous meeting Messrs, Julius Bunzl, C. L. Collins, Richard J. Cortis, agent of the White Star Line; M. H, Levin, Benjamin Perkins, Isaac Rosenwaid, C. H, Spitzer, Casimir Lag and C. F. Fay, were electod members, The Executive Committee reported that the invita- tion of Commodore Nicholson to visit the receiving ship Minnesota at the Brooklyn Navy Yard had been accepted, and that the Ist day of March had been xed upon for the official visit. THE SUGAR QUESTION, Alengthy communication was received from the Board of Health on the alleged sugar adulterations, in which the Board states that there is no cause for any alarm on account of deleterious substances be- ing contained in refined sugars. Mr. Cowdin read a letter from the Board of Health, dated January 18, 1879, in which it is stated that the “report which was forwarded December 26, 1378, in respect to the edulteration of sugars did not embrace | the names of refiners whose sugars were examined, | and yntil won panei has itself had samples of whose source history there can be no question it is not deemed wise for the Board cither to ask or publish the names upon the samples of sugar ana- lyzed by Dr. Ricketts.” In the opinion of the Board there is not at present sufficient cause to justify apprehepsion on the part of the public of ill effects from the use of retined sugars, and it does not appear to be necessary to dis- criminste between raw and refined sugars, for both | are wholesome articles of food. Mr. ‘Theodore A. Havemcyer sent a letter to tho | Chamber of Commerce, enclosing » check for $500, | to be devoted to analyzing sugar, suggesting Protes: | sor Chandler as the chemist, bat as the sugar ques tion had been settled, as far as the Board oi Health and Chamber of Commerce were concerned, a resoiu- tion to return Mr. Havemeyer’s check prevailed, THE YORK-ANTWERP RULES. ‘The great question of the day came up on a motion of Mr. Higgins, to take irom the table the consider- ation of the majority report on the second, fifth and ninth sections of tho York-Antwerp rules, relating to “general average.” President Babcock announced that Mr. Frederick R. Coudert, the delegate who represeuted the Cham- ber at the Internationa! Convention, had been invited and was present to address the Chamber, Mr. Condert, in opening, alluded to the ligh char- acter, intelligence aud capacity of the gentlemen who had framed and passed these rules at York and subsequently confirmed them at Autwerp. He called attention to the singular and anomalous position | that American interests would be placed if the rules were adopted abroad and uot adopted here. If | the provisions incorporating the York and Antwerp | regulations were embodied in all the foreign bills of | lading all adjustments made in this‘country would | have to be made according to these rules, whereas the rules would not apply to American ships and cargoes Where the bills ot lading did not contain it— consequently we would have all the disadvantages and none of the advautages of the now system. As to the ciause which was most objected to, as excluding the principle that voluntary stranding should be allowed in general average, Mr. Coudert showed that the principle was not avandoued—on the contraty, sauctioned, An exception, was, how- ever, introduced where the vessel was sinking or being driven on rocks—#. ¢, where she was in ex- tremis, There it was apparent that the master in stranding his vesse! was making no secrifice, guided by no choice and only yielding to the natural and irresistible impulse for self-preservation. Mr. Higgins closed the debate, aud in a brilliant manner reviewed the other side of the case. Afiera tedious session of Linon three hours the report of the majority was adopted-by four majority, and the Chamber adjou PRODUCE EXCHANGE. ‘The Board of Managers of the Produce Exchange met yesterday, and the petition of the provision trade to have their quarters changed to the upper floor of the Exchange was presented by President Edson, {t was referred to the Committee on Rooms and Fixtures, with instructions to draft a plan which would provide the necessary facilities for placing the provision trade on the upper floor. This committee ‘was also ordered to report a plan for letting the floar and provision tables at auction. The following uew members were admitted: —L, Argenti, J. Kh. Busk, A. Hertz, C. B. Hillhouse, J. V. Lew: ar vdcalte, Daniel O’Brien, Samuel B. Tisdale, W. K. Valentine, M. & Weeks aug Samuel Weil. THE PROPOSED AGE LINE.

Tie managers who waited upon the Mayor yes- terday included Goorge Shepherd and Charies Joni. son, of the Lwonty-third street line; Join Andrews, of the Fifth avenue line, and Willian Mathows and J.

Paul Breen, a native of Ondorj, Eiland Flake, in the southern part of Holland, died ai Paterson, N. J. on Monday, and was buried there yesterday. This man, who came of a long- d fomily, was born in 1798 and immigrated to this country in 1853. Having married in Holland in 1820 his wegded life comprised a period of nearly sixty years. His widow, Katzina Reuter, a hale end hearty matron of seventy-uine, lives at No. 171 Mechame street, Paterson, Before coming to this country Mrs, Breen had given birth to six sons and ten daughters, a majority of whom left the fatherland with their parents. When the rebellion broke out one of the boys entered the service asa private and another as first lieutenant in tue Thirty- third New Jerscy volunteers, and were killed in bat- tl The remaining fourteen survive their father, six living in Holland, seven in or ubout Patterson, and one in Chicago, This last is a married daughter, with twelve children living. Her brother, John, a New Jersey farmer, has fourteen boys and gi another brother has eleven and sister nine. Cs puting the iamily statistics in the light ot x Vices from abroad the total number children is eigity-three. Adding inediate children of the old folks it will be seen that their descendants number ninoty-seven, Had no deaths occurred the total number would exceed one hundred, Joun, the farmer, is the oldest, having been born in the year 1621. He has been blessed with three pairs'of twins. Grandpapa Breen was not a drinking man, but had smoked inveterately for sixty years. Mard work had Malley to his lot since his tenth birthday, and throu out Lis residence in America he had earned a livin: as a laborer in the Paterson Lrou Works. Thritt and good hegith enabled him to buy the house he lived in, besides laying by a tew cents tor rainy weather, Malarial fever wus the cause of his death. Paul was not the only member of his family noted for lou- gevity. He had many brotuers and sisters in Hol- jaud, and one.of the former is said to excel him in the nuinber of his descendants. Another brother, Aurdt, who likewise lives in Paterson, was Paul's junior by only one year, and his wife is equally aged. They have eloven children anda host of grand dren. A sister named Gretchen resides in the neigh- borhood of the city named, and boasts of a family of thirteen children, nine of whon. are living, FATAL WRESTLING. Patrick Carolan, a "longshoreman, was found in- sensible at his lodging house, No. 169 Hudson street, Monday morning, and was conveyed in an ambulance to Chambers Street Hospital, where he died Wednes- day. Pneumonia was supposed to have caused his death, but Deputy Coroner Cusaman’s post-mortem yesterday revealed aclot of blood on the left side of the brain and a fracture of the skull. bernard Carr, when arraigned before the Coroner, said that deceased and James Sherry, a ‘longshoremau, who resides in Williamsburg, were in his company on Sunday evening, ‘*We were drinking,” suid Carr, ‘tand at midnight Sherry aud Carolan got to wrestling on the sidewalk, and the former was thrown several times. Carolan und I went toa suloon, and when returning home met Sherry lihping along Hudson street, Carolan did not complain of being injured while in my company.” It appears that Curolan was subsequently found lying on the sidewalk, and was assisted to his room, where he became unconscious. An inquest will be held in a few days. ee MARRIAGES .AND DEATHS, MARRIED. BeLpen—Scranron.—On February 4, at Oxford, N. J., by the Kev, B. C. Megie, D. D., assisted by the Rey. E. C.
