8 NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1879.-TRIPLE SHEET. “THE ASTLEY BELY. acer Preparations for the Championship Walk at Gilmore's Garden. ENGLISH COMPETITORS. Views of O’Leary and Harriman on Their Rival’s Abilities. ‘The approaching contest for the Astley Belt is now the all engrossing topic that agitates pedestrian cir- cles in this city, and the arrival of Dan O'Leary yes- terday morning bas thrown some light on the diffi- culties that appeared to surround the final arrange- ments for the walk. During the past week there has been some talk as to whether the match would really come off, ag some parties could not understand why the articles of agreement had not been signed, This matter, however, was cleared directly Mr. O'Leary arrived, as he at once explained his reasons for not signing the articles, and also seg at rest all doubts in regard to the walk, which will certainly take place and commence in Gilmore’s Garden on Monday, March 10, The arrangements for thesGarden were made yesterday evening, and resulted in a compro- mise between the two parties, Mr. Vanderbilt finally agreeing to accept $5,000 rent for the week, the lessees to assume all expenses. Dan O'Leary and C. N. Harriman, two of the con- testants in the contest for the Astley Belt, met yes- terday afternoon in Mr. J. Kelly’s pool rooms and had a talk over the position of affairs. THE ARTICLES OF AGEEEMENT. O'Leary produced a copy of the articles of agree- ment sent to him by Sir John Astley, which read as follows :— Memorandum of agreement made and entered into this 14th day of January, 1579, between Daniel O'Leary, ot Chicago, I11,, party of the first part, and Charles Ri lof bambridge, Englar y of the see reas the party of the first part is now Long Distance Championship Chal- id," won by him ut the Agricultural IS7x, and the party of the second the lenge Belt of the Hall, London, in part’ bas duly challenged tim to a pedestrian mateh holaer of the pursuaut to the conditions upon which is hel 0, this eth that the hereto oreby ag npete for the said Championship Belt, wou by the party of the first part in Lond and the sam of £100 a side (£200), which sum has been de- posited by the parties hereto in the hands of the editor of the Sporting Lire.

CHARLES ROWELL, Witness for Charles Rowell—WiLtiam Potter. ‘Lhe above articles were received by O'Leary in Chicago on February 10, and, consequently, he has not had much time in which to consider their pur- port. In the same envelope he also received the fol- lowing letter from Sir John Astley :— 4 Lownors Square, } Lonpox, England, Jan. 15, 1s79, Sir—I am surprised at your taking no notice of my cable- gTam, sent off on the 14th December last. I herewith enclose “articles of agreement,” signed by Charies Rowell, of Cambridge, England, who ha» duly natinaged you to # pedestrian match for the “Long Dis- tance Championship Belt of the World” (and £100 a side), won by you in this country in Mareh last. As Rowell’s chal. ¢ Wus issued on the 4th of December last, you must, agri bly with the terms and eonditions upon which the belt is held, be prepared to defend your right to the same within three mouths of such challenge, consequently the date for the race to commence (allowing: sufficient time for the information to reaeh you) will ‘be Monday, the 17th March next, atone A. M.. and to termin- ‘ate on Saturday, the 22d March, at eleven P. M. I have, theretore, to req that you will be good enough to sign the ‘articles without delay, aud obtain w witness to your signatare and lodge them with the editors. of the Turf, Field and Farm.in order that they may be signed by @ else who wishes to join in, agreeably with the con pon which the belt is heli At the same time it w as well if you insert in the articles the pe} - building in New York in which the contest 1s to jecided, Copies of the articles have been forwarded to the follow- ing American papers, ‘vis i—Spirtt of the Times, Now York Clipper, Turf, Field and Farm aud New York yr ened Ry, heb icy J.D. “ASTLEY. r. D. Leary. CAUSE OF THE DELAY. It is evident from the above letter, which is dated January 15, that by this time Sir John Astley is astonished at not having received s cablegram an- nouncing that the articles had been signed, but the delay in the arrival of the letter was readily ex- plained after examining the postmarks, as they read, “London, January 28,” and “Chicago, February 10."* It is plain from the above postmarks that there must have been some delay about obtaining the copies of the agreement, as the letter was not posted until thirteen days after Sir John Astley wrote the ex- planatory letter enclosed in the same envelope, A number of well known sporting men were at the meeting yesterday afternoon, and the merits of the four contestants were freely discussed, ‘There were some offers to bet on the result, and one geutieman wished to wager that the winner would beat 525 miles. There is a great deal of talk about Rowell, letters have recently been received from a pretty liable source on the other side of the water that he recently perforined 550 miles in a private trial, and that was the reason he had been selected by Sir John Astley to cross the water. O'Leary has the most friends, however, as sporting men in this country on are apt to pin their faith actual than on private trials, 4 he will pi start the favorite in the con: te Harriman has a few very firm supporters, moneyed men, that have great faith in his pluck and endurance, and who are willing to back their opinion. It is understood that one gentleman, well known in this city, has offered to bet $5,000’ against $10,000 that Harriman beats O'Ls nthe coming comtest. Ennis will arrive from Chicago in time to meet Rowell, who is expected on Tues A CHAT WITH O'LEARY. Dan O'Leary is looking wonderfully well and has evidently been taking care of himself since he lett this city. He fully appreciates the merits of the men that he will have to meet in the coming contest, and intends to step on the track in good condition as possible, A Hrnap reporter had a talk with him yesterday afternoon that resulted as follows :— “When did you arrive in the city, Mr. O'Leary?” “Larrived this morning from Chicago, where I have been stopping for the past two week “How long did you remain at the Hot Springs?” “I was there for about nineteen or twenty days. J took a bath every day and some light exercise, and feel considerably benefited by my trip.” hat do you think about the coming contest?” I think I have the hardest walk before me that I ever undertook, 1am satisfied that Rowell is a won- derful man, and I have heard trom good authority that he made 560 miles in a private trial. Iam eure he must be great walker or else they would have rent Corkey across the water, as he made 521 miles in Jess time than | took to make 6205, miles.” “How about Harriman?” BARB MAN'S CHANCES. “He will make « vig record and is probably the Most dangerous man in the party. Ee bes hover abused himself by drinking or using tobacco, is quite young and full of ambition. 1am sure that’ when I walked Weston in Chicago I could have then accom- lishéd the best walk on recorg if I bad been pushed, Harriman has a good record and his walk 1608, miles in 34h. 20m. has never been beaten in this country and only once in England by Vaught In that same walk he made 100 miles in I 36m. 64s, and 119 miles in 24 hours.” “What do you expect you can do yourself?” +Lam beginning to be rather doubtful about my- eolf, as I know that I do not possess the same. speod and I am also rather atraid of my feet.” “What arrangement do you thin! about the division of the money?’ “think the firs: man should get four-eighths, the second three-eighths and the third one-eighth.” “How was it that you did not answer the cable- should be made gram that Sir Jolin Astley sent you? “Bee I did not receive it until too late to answer it. It was sent by my wife in an envelope from Chicago to the Metropolitan Hotel, and as I had left the city it was returned to Chicago, and from thence it followed me to the Hot Springs. It was sent on the lth of December, and I did not receive Mt until the 24d of Jannar, “Are the articles ‘agresablo to you?” perfectly so, with the exception that I wish the @aily newspapers to be represented us well as the sporting papers. I shall sign them as soon as we agree upon the division ot the receipts.” “On what day do you commence your walk ?” “It is now settled that we walk in Gilmore’s Gar- den, commencing on Monday, March 10." “Where do you intend to train ?”” “I shall not do any heavy training, but take regular light exercise on Long ‘and in the suburbs of the city.” HARRIMAN’S VIEWS. C, A. Harriman, of Boston, supposed by many to be the canning: long distance estrian, @ talk ym a reporter to the following fect: — “Are you satisfied with the articles of agreement ?” “They suit me well enough, and I shall sign them as soon as Rowell and Ennis arrive and agree as to how the money is to be divided.” “Are you training now for the contest.” “I have been doing regular work for some time past. I am now stopping at the St. James Hotel, in this city, and shall tuke walking exercise every day, partly out of doors and partly on a track in the city.” “What distance do you expect to cover in walk?” “That is a question I would hardly like to apswer, as I might be disappointed, I have done good per- formances on other occasions, and I feel satisfied, with such inducements as I have before me, that I shall not disgrace myself in this contest. My health is always good, ‘and I have never been bothered by my feet. Lam yeaa be walk any man in the coun- try twenty-four or thirty hours.” TRAMP! TRAMP! TRAMP! COLSON NEARING THE COMPLETION’ OF HIS STUPENDOUS UNDERTAKING—878 MILES AC- COMPLISHED AT MIDNIGHT. John Peter Colson commenced walking at Duhr- koof's Eagle Hall, Hoboken, on the 2d of February. It was announced that he would walk 1,040 miles in 500 hours, and from present appearances there is little doubt that he will accomplish, his task. The 1,400 miles, if all goes well, will be completed at eleven o'clock on Saturday night. At midnight last night he had accomplished 878 miles. MOZART GARDEN. Several hundred ladies and geutlemen were present in Mozart Garden last evening, and Miss Jennie Sin- clair tramped around at about five-minutes gait’ looking considerably better than she did last week. During the evening she was accompanied by several ladies and received two handsome bouguets, At mid- night she had completed 880 quarter miles, VAN NESS AND BELDEN. ‘There was a large attendance at the Fifth regiment armory last night and the spectators enjoyed an ex- cellent pedestrian programme. Belden is doing wonderfully well, and at eleven o’olock finished his 1,723d half mile, Van Ness teels as if he could walk for six months, and had covered 1,151 half miles at the same hour. During the evening Stephen Brodie and O'Keefe walked ten miles. BREWSTER HALL, Miss Bartel and Miss May Edwards are still walk- ing at Brewster Hall. At midnight the former had 696 quarters to her credit and Miss Edwards 212. A FORTY-EIGHT HOUR WALK. Mrs. H. Tourtellot, of Stockton, Cal., walked forty- eight hours without food, drink or rest, at that place, finishing on the 9th inst. The lady is forty- one years of age, weighs 193 pounds, and stands six feet in her stockings. She said after finishing her task that if the time had been ten hours longer she would have made it. SEXAGENARIANS WALKING A MATCH. New Haven, Conn., Feb. 19, 1879, Thomas Carey, aged sixty-four, a member of the ‘New York Cotton Exchange and a great-grandfather, began a pedestrian match here to-day with John T. Marsh, of this city, aged sixty-three, a grandfather. ‘This novel contest is the result of a challenge issued some weeks ago by Marsh, under the name of “Chris Gloch,” to any man aged over sixty to walk him for six days. The tert of agreement made between the two men ‘in this city January 27 changed the time to four days, and when the agreement was signed each man put up $600. Carey is a nervous, wiry man, five feet and eleven inches in height and weighs about one hundred and sixty-eight pounds. Under the care of his trainer he has for the last three weeks been walking from twenty-five to thirty miles per day, covering the road to Jerome Park, Coney sland h and other resorts about New York city. John Young Marsh is a painter in the car shops of the New York and New Haven Railroad, in this city. He is about five feet ten inches high, and weighed to-day just before the match began 181 pounds. He is thicker set than Carey. His training consisted of walking much less than Carey, the distance cov- ered not exceeding ten or fifteen miles ea al te The —- began at Music eleven 0’c! this forenoon and _ will con- tinue until eleven o'clock Saturday evening. At the words “One, two, three, go!” both men started vigorously, but not hastily, with the inten- tion of covering about thirty miles before stopping to rest. Quite @ fair sized audience saw the stuart. Carey walked erect like a youthful athlete, and made his first mile in 13m. 30s, Marsh being only a few seconds behind. The latter stoops and steps more rapidly than his oppo- nent. Carey carries cobs in his hands, in professional style. For the first twenty miles, which were cov- ered without stopping, neither contestant taking any solid food, the average rate was about 13 min- utes, Carey’s time in total being 4h. 13}:m, and Marsh's 4h, 173,10, “WRESTLING. BAUER TO M'LAUGHLIN AND MILLER. ‘Mr. Bauer's representative deposited Mr. James E. Kelly’s check for $100 with the Hemaup yesterday as a forfeit to make a match for $600 with Major Mc- Laughlin, of Detroit, to wrestle, under the same rules and conditions which governed the match at Boston on Saturday last, in which McLaughlin defeated Miller. If McLaughlin fails to accept this challenge it will be open to Miller, or, if the latter prefer, a match in the pure Greco-Roman style will be made with him. The following letter sccompanied Mr, Kelly's check :— New York, Feb. 19, 1879, To mx Evrrox or tux Heracp:— Enclosed please find check for $100 ag a forfeit to make match for $00 a in which Mr. Thiebaud ay last. If Major M fails to respond this challenge shall be open to Miller, civher in the same style of wrestling or the Greco-Roman fashion pure. JAMES E. KELLY. Bauer asserts that McLaughlin coaxed him to come to Detroit, and that he gave the latter lessons and agreed to let him win, on the condition of a return match, which McLaughlin was too cunning to risk. Bauer is evidently on his mettle now, and means to win if he can, of which he seems to have no doubt, The answers of McLaughlin and Miller will be looked for with interest, providing they are accompanied with the necessary funds to cover this forfeit.

ARREST OF TWO YOUNG MEN IN NEWARK ON A GRAVE CHARGE—ATTEMPT TO BURN A HOUSE AND ITS OCCUPANTS—IN 4 WEB OF CIRCUM- STANTIAL EVIDENCE. At the Court House in Newark, N, J., yesterday, before @ special session of the Oyer and Terminer, held by Judges Depue and Ricord, Gregory and Mathias Arumbruster, brothers, were arraigned on a charge of attempted arson, preferred by John Kohl, and were held to bail in $3,000 each to await the action of the Grand Jury at its session next April. Kohl's residence, the place which was sought to be destroyed by fire by somebody, is located on Montgomery avenue, near Sixteenth avenue, in one of the most desolate parts of Newark, away out near the borders of the South Orange and Irvington town lines. ‘THE ATTEMPTED ARSON, A HeRaxp reporter visited the Kohl residence yes- terday afternoon. It is little more than a hut, and affords accommodation for Mr. Kohl, his wife, three sons and his stepdaughter, Lena Kohl, The latter is sixteen years of age. Her father was a soldier in the United States Army during the war and died from disease contracted in the field. Her uncle mar- ried her mother and is now her stepfather. Kohl and his family state that a few min- utes after one o'clock on Tuesday morn- ing, Lena, who slept with her mother and who was suffering from a severe attuck of toothache, was startled by a strange light on the rear stoop of the house. She aroused her mother and father and they found the stoop all ablaze. Lena seized a large pan of water which was on the stove and dashed it on the flames; the others piled on snow, and the fire was quenched ‘before any damage was done more than to scorch the side of the house and the stoop. Kohl roused his neighbors, and in company with Charles Wertz, a saloon keeper, of Nineteenth street, John Lachmeyer and Mr. Hoche, made an examination of the premises. It had just been snowi: They found a man’s tracks in the snow, and, ey state, carefully followed these until they stop; some distance off at the fence of the residence of the Arumbruster brothers. John Kohl says he was afraid to go any farther lest he might get shot. ‘THE BROTHERS AND LENA. Last Easter Monday Lena made the acqi of Mathias Arumbruster, his brother G | junior by about seventeen years, the oldest being about forty. So intimate became the pair, Mathias and Lena, that before two months bad passed he had led her astray, so she alleged, and last October sho caused his arrest. He was taken before Judge Paulin, tried by a jury and fobnd guilty of being the futher of her unborn babe. “He was bound over to pay $3 om, week for its support from the time of its birth. The proceedings before Judge Paulin and the publicity given to them greatly annoyed the brothers. Lena had hopes that Mathias would yet ma her, and she and her friends say that he would have done so but for Gregory. It is said that Gregory had hia eye on the irl also, who is of rather comely appearance. On St. Falentine’s Day Lena sent Mathias « handsome valen- tine, while she and her father-uncle received several that’ were very unhandsome. ‘They suspect the Arumbrusters of sending them. SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES. On Tuesday evening and yesterday, after Kohl had made an affidavit before Judge Otto, which led to the arrest of the brothers, Chief Benedict, of the Fire Department, and a detective made a careful examina-. tion of the snow tracks leading from Kohl's house. They found a pair of boots belonging to Gregory Arumbruster, which fitted closely into the tracks. They also found a friend of Lena’s, a young girl named Annie Dennin, who says that on Sunday nignt last she met Gregory Arumbruster, and they got into conversation about Lena and Muthias. Greg- ory declared, she states, that he was tired of this Kohl trouble, and was going to put an effectual stop to it soon; that old Kohl expected to get $5,000 out of Mathias, but he wouldn't get acent; that Lena and her father must be fools to thi that he (Gregory) would stand the talk all around—not he; e would put a stop to it and would fix it for the whole lot of them. He spoke so fiercely, she says, that she was afraid to say anything in reply. On ‘Tuesday, when she heard of the fire, she thought of the words of Gregory, and expressed her belief that he knew something about the arson affair. The papers which had been found half burned on the stoop and saturated with kerosene oil were examined, and on them were written the names of both brothers; likewise was found a milk bill of one of Gregory’s customers. The brothers are milkmen and own # property left them by their parents and said to be worth about $40,000, The authorities say they have other evidence demeging to the Arum- brusters, which will not be divulged until the trial. In addition to the proceedings before Judge Paulin, Mathias was indicted by the last Grand Jury tor the seduction of Lena. His trial for that is set tor Apfil. ‘The belief entertained by the Newark authorities who have investigated the cave is that some person or persons conceived and attempted to y out the fiendish plot of burning up the Koh] house, with its inmates, including Leva, who is now near the period of maternity. The Arumbrusters stoutly deny all knowledge of the matter and suggest that the thing hand have been gotten up asa black: 1g Opera- tion. A HUSBAND'S LIABILITY. At the opening of Part 1of the Marine Court yes- terday, before Judge McAdam, counsel for the re- spective parties in the suit of Annie D, Smith against Richard E, Bingham, the facts of which ap- peared in yesterday's HxnaLp, proceeded to sum up before the jury. Mr. H. J. Blauvelt, on the part of the defendant, contended that all the facts developed on the trial must lead the minds of the jury to the inevitable conclusion that defendant's wife had been guilty of improper relations with Harry White, which relations absolved her husband from all legal responsibility to provide for her support. Ex-Judge George M. Curtis followed on behalf of the plaintiff, and the virtuous conduct of the de- fendant’s wite being a vital question in the cuse, he devoted a large portion of his argument to an earnest and impassioned effort to sustain the purity of her character. He claimed that to sustain the “‘scandal- ous” allegations spread out in the complaint nothing had been produced but mere surmises and suspi- cions. To convict her of the immoral conduct charged, counsel said, the jury would have to find in favor of the monstrous proposition that a woman in infirm health, in a public boarding house, with her chamber door unlocked and partially open, not only invited intrusion from all occupying the house tu witness her adulterous acts, but also had her eight-year-old boy present for the same purpose. Judge McAdam charged the jury as matter of law that the husband was bound under an implied con- tract to strangers for reasonable supplies furnished to his wife and children proportionate to his circum- stances in life, it he had failed himself to make such provision or by his conduct had made it necessary tor his wife or children to separate from him; but he had provided a home suitable to his means, had given his wife no just cause to separate from him, and she, without cause, had lett him, or had com- mitted adultery with another, he was not liable. After @ brief absence the jury found a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for the full amount claimed, thus incidentally vindicating the character of Mrs. Bingham. THE EXCISE COMMISSIONERS. The Grand Jury filed into the Court of General Ses- sions at noon yesterday, Judge Gildersleeve presid- ing, aud presented the following indictment against Excise Commissioners Morrison and Merkle:—Richard J. Morrison and Philip Merkle, Excise Commissioners for the city and county of New York, did knowingly, wilfully and unlawfully and corruptly grant and issue on the 16th of April, 1678, a license to Kdward F. Byrne and Edward White, keepers of an inn, tavern or hotel on the premises known as No. 19 West Houston street, to sell and dispose of strong and spirituous liquors and wines in quan- tities less than five gallons at time, to be drunk on the premises. The jurors, upon their oath, present that on the 16th of April, 1878, Eawarad F. Byrne and Edward White were not men of good moral character, nor were they persons of sufficient ability to keep an inn, tavern or hotel, nor had they the necessary accommodations on the premises commonly known as Ng. 19 West Houston street, to entertain travellers; and that an inn, tavern or hotel was not then and there on the said premises required for the actual accommodation of travellers; all of which they, Richard J, Morrison and Philip Merkle, as Commissioners of Excise, well knew was against the form of the statute in such case made and provided, and against the peace of the people of the State of New York and their dignity. The complaint was made at the instance of the Society for the Prevention of Crime, and the ac cused will be duly notified to appear for pleading. RUM AND DESTITUTION. Another case of children suffering from cold and hunger on account of the intemperance of their parents was brought to Justice Morgan's notice yes- terday. The complaint was made the day previous by Thomas Coughlin, the brother of the mother of the children, and the parents and their three chil- | dren, ranging from two to six years of age, ap- peared in Court yesterday afternoon, accom- panied by Officer Chiardi, of the Socie for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Mr, Coughlin stated that his brother-in-law had been 1 the habit of spending all his earnings in liquor for the past five years, and that his sister also was intemperate in her habits, Officer Chiardi testi- fied that he found the obildren in a small room on | the third floor of No. #27 Tenth avenue; that the room was without fire and in 4 most filthy condition, and that the ion & were in @ gross state of intoxica- tion; the children had been without food for nearly twenty-four hours, Justice Morgan committed the two elder children to St. Joseph’s Industrial Home aud sent the parents, with their youngest child, to the Island for two months, BOARD OF EDUCATION, DISTRIBUTION OF THEATRE TICKETS TO SCHOOL CHILDREN DISAPPROVED OF—WHAT IT WILL COST TO RUN THE SCHOOLS DURING 1879. A stated meeting of the Board of Education was held yesterday afternoon at which the report of the Superintendent of Public Schools was read. The re- port says:—‘Your attention is called to the fact that in some of the schools theatre tickets have been dis- tributed to the pupils, in my judgment not only un- warrantably and indisereetly, but contrary to previous practice and express policy of the Board, The schools in which this distribution was made, so far a8 I have obtained information, are No, 2, male and female departments; No 7, male depart- ment; No, 24, male department, and Primary Schools Nos. 2 and 8. Several of the principals, Iam glad to be able to report, positively declined to distribute these tickets, as all should have done, for I consider the act of giving to the pupils of our schools tickets of admission to a theatre deserving of the severe reprehension of the Board.” A communication call- ing attention to the distribution of these tickets was, with the report, referred to the Committee on By- laws for investigation, A resolution offered by the Committee on Salaries and Economies at the last meeting of the Board, de- nying the application of the Male Principals’ Asso- ciation and of the principals of the primary schools and departments for a change in the bylaws in refor- ence to the compensation of principals of fourteen years’ service, was taken up and adopted by & vote, of nine in the affirmative and three in the negative. The Board resolved itself into a committee of the whole, Commissioner Wetmore in the chair, to con- sider the report of the Finance Committee recom- mending the appropriation of moneys for 1879. The report was adopted unanimously, as follows, down to the appropriation of mone; for the tical School ‘or ries of teach in ward schools, $1,915,000; for salaries of janitors in ward schools, $87,000; for salaries’ of president, professors and others in Normal College, $72,500; for salaries of teachers and janitors in the colored schools, $24,000; for salaries of teachers and janitors in the evening schools, $52,000; for salaries of City Superintendent and assistants, $27,400; for salaries of officers and other employs ft the Board of Education, $30,000; for books, m tes—supplies through the Depository, $121, for incidental expenses of the Board of Education, $16,000; for incidental expenses of ward schools, current repairs by trustees, $47,000; for incidental expenses of Ss schools, $800; for incidental expenses of colo) schools, Fe for incidental expenses of Normal College, 2,900. Commissioner Walker moved that the appropria- tion for the Nautica] School be reduced from $22,000 to $3,000. Commissioner Wickham objected to the amount of the appropriation on the ground that the pets of the Nautical School were not natives of ew York. After some discussion the appropriation of the sum of $22,000 for the Nautical School was carried. The rest of the report was then adopted as follows:—For compulsory education. ts and in- cidentals, $11,000; for fuel for all the ools and the hall of the Board, $52,500; for gas for all the schools and the hall of the Board, $11,500; for rents of school premises, $30,000; for workshop, wages and mate- rials, $2,500; for pianos for all the ward schools, $2,000; for corporate schools, per State apportion- ment, $110,000; for ascertaining what methods of ventilation are the best for use in the school build- ings, $5,000; for furniture for the school. buildings and repairs of the same, $30,000. ‘The following resolution was adopted :— ‘That the sum of $223,500 of tho moneys apportioned for the purposes of public instruction for the year 1879 be and the same is hereby set apart and reserved for “all expenses of the Board of ‘Haueation, t ineluded under any other head of account, for purchasing, leasing und procuring sites and erecting buildings, furnishing, fitting up, ulter- ing, onlarging and repairing ‘buildings and premisos un- der the charge of the Board of Education, and for repairiny the furniture and heating apparatas; for the support o schools which shall haye been organized since the last an- nual apportionment of school moneys, and such further sum or sums as may be necessary for any of the purposes authorized by law.

Mayor Cooper yesterday continued his private ex- amination of the workings of the Police Department in his office at the City Hall. Commissioner Erhardt, who has been questioned by the Mayor for the past two days, was still further examined, The Commis- sioner arrived at the Mayor’s office at a quarter after two o'clock, and with His Honor snd the stenog- rapher, Mr. Adams, at once proceeded to the investi- gation chamber, the door of which was locked and tolted. The shades on all the windows were drawn down and the room was lighted with as. Captain Schultz, of the police -boat Sooo, and patrolman No. 894 were in Mr, Cooper's private office for some time. It was said that the former had been summoned by Mr, Erhardt for the purpose of showing that the boat was lavishly furnished with Brussels carpets, finely upholstered furniture, and that it also contained » large assort- ment of very expensive eating utensils, All these articles, it was alleged some time since by Commis- sioner Erhardt, were procured for the socommoda- tion of some of his colleagues, who occasionally in- dulged in a pleasant excursion, This matter was brought up at a meeting of the Police Board a few months ago, but the charges, it is said, were never fully investigated. saat ore and Mr. Erhardt were together until r MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.

Govemment Bonds Strong, States. Lower and Railroads Irregular. Money on Call 2 a B&B a 2 Per Cent. WALL Street, Wepuespay, Feb, 19—6 P. M. After opening with » good deal of strength the mar ket began to weaken at midday, fell off seriously in the afternoon and closed irregularly, but with some improvement upon lowest prices. In fact, at gong sound things were left pretty much in that condi- tion which is expreased as being at sixes and sevens, some stocks being decidedly weak, others barely steady and the remainder upon the anxious seat as to what may happen to-morrow. The weak spéts were Western Union and Northwestern common. The first, because reports from Washington looked more favorable to an ultimate passage of the “Jones” Telegraph bill, and the second, because of the disappointment which followed the non-declaration of a dividend upon the Northwest common shares. Besides this it was quite evident that somebody had been spilling stocks in a quantity measurable rather by bung than spigot capacity, partioularly in the case of Jersey Central and the granger referred to. The Northwestern directors met and declared a quarterly dividend, payable on the 24th of March, of 1% per cent upon the preferred shares, or equal to a little over 7 per cent per annum upon the market prico of the stock. Upon the common stock, which most people thought would return a dividend of 1 to 114 per cent, no action was'taken. The surplus on hand December 1, 1878, was $861,126, out of which the present dividend of $376,642 will be taken. The Dalance—$484,484—will be sufficient to pay the quar- terly dividend due in June, and leave a balance of $107,842, applicable (with the addition of current earn- ings) to a half-yearly dividend upon the common stock. A very lively spurt was engineered early in the day in Kansas and Pacific, the price being carried from 1534 to 2214 with scarcely a check, though it meekly settled back to 1834 at the close. A rumor that a suc- cessful effort would be made to take the property out of the receiver's hands was given as the reason for the rise, A further advance of 334 percent was made in Rensselaer and Saratoga—a stock which appears to have been as much forgotten by investors as though it had been a prisoner in the owbliettes of the Bastile. Howeyer, some of the Rip Van Winkles of capital have wakened up to the fact that it is an 8 per cent stock, guaranteed by Delaware and Hudson, and they have “gone for it’ accordingly, There was a very large business done in Erie at steady prices, and considerable activity in Lake Shore at prices tho reverse of steady, the closing figures being smaller by one per cent than the highest ones. The next sweet morsel which will be rolled around the specu: lative tongue is said to be Kansas and Texas, The opening of the Indian Reservation to railroads and emigration is deemed to be inevitable, and large amounts of stock have been picked up in view of the benefits to accrue therefrom. During the last half hour there was afree and business-like buying of Northwest preferred, which lookea like aiming at higher prices, The rest of the market remained, how- ever, in a dazed condition, which expreased nothing good, nothing bad, but # considerable amount of in- difference, r ‘The opening, highest, lowest and closing prices of stocks at the New York Stock Exchange to-day were as follows:— Delaware & Hudson... te 44 4346 43) +105 a 103% 108 12% = TK TAG Gy my aL 1% 9 908g 4g 40% 4015 Big BK BIG Big 3 5345 88g 8 874 1345-198 133; New Jersey Central... 46% ae us ue Ganeda Southern-...dsT¢ «ST BT a” os (3° 2S a 5 80 81 196 = 80 1% «16K KCK 4436 6 43% ny «618 12% 30-88 38% ‘The following were the closing quotations at three P.M.
