COCK FIGHTING Return Main Between Sche- nectady and Troy. SCHENECTADY THE WINNER. Eleven Battles, $100 Each, and $600 the Odd Contest. : Scuenzorapy, N, Y., Feb. 28, 1879. This sober-sided city on the Mohawk contains many sportsmen and hundreds of admirers of the amusement of cock fighting. Boys of tender years, as woll as men of gray hairs, are enabled to discuss understandingly favorite breeds and strains of birds, and there is nothing in the world they so much ad- mire as to be at the side of a pit to witness contests between their favorite fowl and those brought against them. Season after season Schenectady and Troy come together to decide battles of this nature, and last night the return main of these old antagonists was decided. Ordinarily in this section of the country suitable places are pro- vided to satisfactorily “discuss” such meetings, but the main that was brought toa close this morning was fought in an out of the way place and under cir- cumstances that made the occasion something of a hardship, Axide of three miles out into the open country, with the mercury in the neighborhood of zero, was the, preliminary step in order to see the sport. Climbing to the garret of an old fashioned dwelling and fecling yout way along dark halls was the next requirement, This ushered the visitor into a imedium sized room, where the pit was located. Rude structures and inferior accommodations are to be expected as the accompaniments of cock fight- ing, but, in the words of an old veteran of the sport this morning, “That was the meanest I ever saw for the busines: Tho cepacity of the place, when comfort: is considered, may be marked at fifty persons, but in this uarrow room, around the smallest and clumsiest pit ever constructed, there were squeezed and crowded to- gether fully 300 men and boys. There was but Kittle, if any, ventilation; and as everybody smoked short clay pipes or poor cigars, the atmosphere soon became stifling. The intetested did not mind this litile matter, however, but climbed on each other’s shoulders and laid at times four or five deep on the edge of the pit, betting their money and yell- ing encouragingly or defiantly as the battles raged. Refreshments were contined to those of the liquid character, though it was reported that one Trojan obtained a sandwich or two that doubled him up like © dose of poison. The conditions of the main were that each sido should show fifteen birds, weighing from 5 Ibs. 12 oz. to4 Ibs. 4 oz., and fight all that matched in weight, under the rules, for $100 a battle and $600 the odd contest. Those requirements were complied with, and ata creditable hour the parties weighed their birds, and upon comparing lists it was found that eleven battles were to be had. Troy won the toss to name the weight first to be showed, and the “trimming out” and heeling being done in com- mendable haste the night's work commenced. THE FIGHTING. First Fight.—Troy handed in a dark feathered red with yellow legs, while Schenectady sent a black-red to face him. The weights were 5 lbs. 10 oz. Schenec- tady was much the largest looking bird, though Troy was the favorite at $10 to $8. Why the odds no one could tell. Neither went off gs if he liked it, but Troy soon’ began and touching the dark red awakened him toa realizing sense of his situation, Then kicking back, and ‘Troy getting the best of tho tussle, the latter had the call $20 to $12. It looked 8 gift for the Trojan for five or six flys, and just as $20 to $10 was offered by a good judge Schenectady made adesperate buckle, and, catching Troy inthe throat, tore it all apart. The blow sent yellow legs all in a heap, and, not being able to recover, Schenectady, amid cries of “Break his neck!” “Chop him into rincemeat!"" soon laid the other dead on the tan, ime, 11 mintites. Schenectady felt well and was certain that the “Schemerhorn” would do the job. ‘Scomd Fight—The heavy weights, 5 Ibs. 12 oz. ‘Troy pitted a black-red, latye and strong, Schenectady handed in a gray. Though the Mohawkers had won the first battie like breaking sticks they were afraid to venture their money without obtaining odds, and the Trojans, very anxious to be interested pecuniarly, foolishly: met them more than halt way. It was $20 to $160n the biack-red. ‘The birds came together— smash, bang—and the boys grinned, “Won't we knock the life out of that Skitnmer-ec,” shouted a ce y, and the words were hardly Troy caught a slash uttered Schenectady in the throat and gave it suc that he bagan choking immediately, The gray mado & great effort to get out of his dificulty, but it was futile, and Troy, now beginning to be warmed up, tent out his heels once more afid Schenectady was caught deep in the body. He never atterward kicked. Time, Im. 208, Schenectady, 1; Troy, 1. Third Fight.—Troy having the choice of weights, decided fo ‘send in’a ginger-henny, a bird thé hed before fought this season and wou right off the reel. The weights were 4 lbs. 1502.

One more stroke into the prostrate bird and “1'll pound him’ was heard, when Schenectady was counted out and picked up dead, Time, 1m. 1s. “ain't the hen bonebreaker?” “A dandy the jump!" and other like expressions we the Trojan was taken out of the pit.

Fourth Fight.—Troy, 5 Ibs. 2 0z,, a spangle with an enormous white tail; Schenectady, 5 Ibs. 4 0z., a red dpminick, ‘There was much money invested, with ‘Troy having the call $20 to $16, though no one could see such # difference as the betting indicated. Going together ih superb shape, it sensed as if the battle was to be terrific. Schenectady first showed Figs of distress, and ‘roy became a greater favorite. But this sport is very uncertain, and Schenectady, {enplse viciously toward his adyersiry and placing ih heels into the spangle’s body, mattors were equalized. Troy was bewildered, and, getting another rasper, he fell ina heap. Then Schenectady touched him again and ‘Troy showed ils inditerent blood, a8, with a squawk, he began to cut it and made haste to get away from the dominick. “A rapk eur!” cried 4 Trojan, ond, “He'll never make auother fly,” was also heard, which proved to be the case. Troy was pounded,” and, upon being counted out, the sxpan- gle was taken trom the pit in disgrace. ‘Tin “He had a long tail, but L wish he'd hat leas tail and more gull,” was the parting shot given the beaten bird. Schenectady, 2; ‘roy, 2. Fifth Pight.—Lwo black reds; Troy, 4 Ibs. 13 o2.; Seheuectady, Ibs. 1202. The tormer was the fa- vorite, $10 to $8. The birils looked at each other when they were set down, “A pair of duffer shouted Schenectady's handler. ‘Lhe conclusion was premature, as after looking at each other they went together courageously, and ‘Troy broke away the best of the bu s cond fly was ® cracker, and Troy droppedas if hit withaclub, his back being broken, The blow whipped him, as he was unable to again get on his fect.

It was6 lbs. 202, ‘Troy handed over a white dommick and Schenectady a red domi- nick. ‘The former was th favorite $20 to $16. “Don’t bet on this bird,” eried the handler ot the red, “for he's broken winded.” The Ses Was exvellent for a while, A Schenectady did such execution & Trojan remarked, “He may be broken winded, but# broken neck would suit me better.” ‘Troy endewvored to make matters even, but Schenec- tady cut him again badly, and at once the white demonstrated that he bel to the band of quit- tera.

There were yells and shrieks, all kinds of threats, and at one time a general fight, or battle royal, among men seemed inniuinent. Finally, amid much excitement, Troy won under the count, and her backers shouted wildly. It was a victory clean ont of the fire. ‘Troy was a good, clean hitter and game, or he would never have pulled throngh the victor.

Though the condition of affairs did not warrant it Troy was the favorite, $10 to $3, The gray was a strong and willing bird, one person shouting, “He's a Campbell and a cracker!’" With one or two buckles Schenectady bad his wing hurt, and to square things he cut Troy’s throat. This stag- ered the red, and before he could pull himself Qasttiee another slash in the throat made him very sick, and with trouble thus fast accumulating Troy staggered around, and finally coming to the conclusion that he nad quite received his share of punishment, exhibited signs of running away. Finally he turned and sought a corner, and would pot again try to fight. It was the third runaway for Troy. Schenectady won without being badly hurt, Time, 8 minutes. Schenectady, 5; Troy, 3. ‘Ninth Fight.—While the mercury out doors was fast approaching zero it was now so hot in the pit that large beads of perspiration stood on the faces of nearly every man on the lower seats. Troy sent in a light red, brother of her heavy weight, and Schenec- tady pitted another birch gray. The weights were 5 tbs. and the former the favorite. Troy got the bulge on the gray and was fast whipping him when Schenectady sent home a rasper in the other's breast that knocked him flat as a flounder, It was then $20 to $5 on the gray, with no takers. Schenectady won as he liked, though a “pound” that was taken re- ured Troy to be counted out, Time, 8 minutes. henectady, 6; Troy, 3. This battle won the main for the men of the Mohawk. Tenth Fight.—The weights called for 5 lbs. each, and Troy was in suck a plight regarding the battles that her men determined to again fight the henny, the winner of the third bat Schenectady sent in a handsome and compact black-red—‘Another Spitz- enberg!’’ somebody cried. The henny was as lively as ever, and the favorite at $30 to $40, She made mincemeat of Schenectady, and brilliant fight in short time. At Rec- ond fly she broke one of the red’s legs, when the odds were $100 to $1 on her. Time, Im. 503. “She could lick all the birds Schenectady has shown to-night.” said an enthusiastic admirer of the henny’s fighting qualities. Schenectaly, 6; Troy, 4. Eleventh Fight.—Two 5 Ibs, 2 oz., and black-reds, Schenectady won after a prolonged and hard battie. Troy died a game bird. Time, 20 minutes. Sche- nectady, 7; Troy, 4: There being still two hours before daylight, several private matches were made and fought. Just as the mists of the morning proclaimed that night had passed the journey to Schenoctady was made in open and covered sleighs, it being so cold that the horses were covered with a thick frost upon arrival. ‘Bat RECAPITULATION, tes.

Yesterday Bell attempted to put Crittenaen out of abeer saloon, where he was making a great deal of noise, Some words followed and the young man challenged Bell to mect him to-day and fight it out according to rules of the ring. ‘Phe pair proceeded this morning at ten o’clock to the end of Fourth street, to a place known as the old Louisville basebull grounds. About twenty friends of both parties were present. Twelvé rounds were fought. At the end of the last round neither of the pugilists were materially disabled, Crittenden's eyes were well blacked and the middle finger of his Ett 4 hand was dislocated, but he expressed his wi Iingness to proceed, Bell's nose was split and his face was not very ornamental. The mill lasted about an hour. Bell has been suspended from the oe PIGEON SHOOTIN The regular monthly handicap meeting of the Long Island Gun Club took placa at Dexter Park, Jamaica road, Long Island, yesterday afternoon. ‘The principal event was the club contest for a handsome silver cup (known as the Champion Cup).

ROWELL, THE ENGLISH PEDESTEIAN—PRELIMI- NARY CONFERENCE BETWEEN THE FOUR COM- PETITORS IN THE COMING CONTEST—EXCITE- MENT AMONG SPORTING MEN. ‘The steamship Parthia, of the Cunard line, arrived at her dock in Jersey City about half-past eight yesterday morning, having on board Mr. Charles Rowell, of Chesterton, Cambridge, England, a very important member of the quartet that are to start on the morning of Monday, March 10, in the com- petition for the Astley belt. Mr. Rowell was accom- panied by his two friends, Mr. Charles Asplen and Mr. J. Simpson, who will look after him during his stay in America, ‘The rather early ar- rival of the steamer prevented the presence of the large reception committee that would otherwise have greeted Mr. Rowell on his arrival in New York, but his most formidable antagonist, Mr. } Daniel O'Leary, the present holder of tife Astley Belt, was prompt on time to welcome the Englishman. ‘As they stood side by side on the deck of the steamer the two men presented a rather striking contrast in point of build and stature. O'Leary is about three inches taller than Rowell, but much slighter in build, looking quite a delicate man compared with the thick set, compact form of the Englishman. The meeting between these two athletes in a six days’ contest, go as they please, will be o fair test of the runner against the walker. In England they are now satis- fied that in a six days’ match the runners can beat the walkers, and in a recent tournament at Agricul- tural Hall the walkers were literally nowhere, as the runners finished first, second anc third, O'Leary may be classed as a fair heel and toe walker, though he occasionally runs a few laps, while Rowell is a runner, and will cover at least four-fifths of his journey in a jog trot, Rowell was evidently pleased with the visit from O'Leary, and introduced him to his two friends, Asplen and Simpson. After tho baggage had been passed the party went on shore and came over to this city. INSPECTING THE GROUND. About noon yesterday the three Englishmen walk into Gilmore’s Garden and took a look at the place, in which the walk is to be decided. After looking around for a few minutes they took a walk down town and returned to the St. James Hotel shortly before three P. M., where they met O’Leary, Harri- man and Ennis, and had a talk over the arrange- ments for the walk. The first point that was brought up for discussion was the division of the gate money. ‘The articles drawn up by Sir Johu Astley provided for one-half going to the winner, and the contestants were anxious to decide upon the division of the remaining. Rowell said he did not think that aman deserved to yet any share of the money that did not cover 450 miles. Ennis immediately signified his willingness to ac- cept these terms and so did Harriman and O'Leary. After some further talk on the matter it was finally decided to let that question stand until the arrival of Mr. Atkinson, of the Sporting Life, who is to act as, agent for Rowell and who is expected here on Mon- day or Tuesday next. They then agreed among themselves that the walk should commence in Gii- more’s Garden on the morning of Monday, March 10, and on motion of Mr. O'Leary the quartet also decided to vest the —— of the affair in the hands of Mr. 4. Kelly. The scoring will be done by members of the athletic clubs, each club taking charge for twenty-four hours and each of the walkers will name two men, whose duty it shall be to call out and put up the numbers of the laps they make. There will be five men attending to the scoring department all the time, two putting down the laps, one taking down the time, one keep- ing a sheet for the inspection of the press and an- other acting as a general superintendent. Each of the contestants will have a separate house, contain- ing bedroom, dining room and kitchen, and they will probably be located at the four corners of the Gar- den. ‘Tho question of reversing was raised before the meeting and it was ruled that the man going the regular route should always have the inside track. During the, talk Rowell was taking a good look at O'Leary” and Harriman. He was personally ac- quainted with Ennis, as he had defeated him in Lon- don, but the other two were pedestrians that he had only heard off. Ennis appeared to be in a yery good humor and playfully suggested that Harriman was too lengthy to walk with little men like themselves and that he should be cut down to regulation length, After some little playful badinage the party broke up to meet again as early as possible After the arrival ot Mr. Atkinson of the Sporting Life. THE ENGLISH ATHLETE'S RECORD. Before the Englishmen lett the HeRaup reporter had a short talk with Rowell, who seems to be a very pleasant young fellow, something like Hanlan ubout the face. He said that he had a rather rough pas- sage and was not seasick, although both his friends were placed hors de combat for a few days. He did not get much exercise on board, as the weather was too rough to make it an easy task to walk the decks, ‘There were two days, however, in which he wanaged to stretch his legs for tour or tive hours. He was evidently quite satisfied with the arrange ments that had been made and began to feel that if he could win the belt he was ae to get a thoroughly fair chance. His friend, Mr. Simpson, said that Rowell’s early years were passed as a water. man. He was attached to Searles’ Boat House at Cambridge, and first acquired his taste for pedes- trian exercise while running with boats, He once rowed a mile race on the Isis against Harry Ciospet, whom he defeated easily. He hus appeared quite a number of times as a runner, going all distances from halt a mile up. He ran nine and a half miies inside the hour, and ninetecn miles in & little over two hours. In a six hour running match, at Settingbourne, against a man named Vanderpeer, he ran thirty-two miles in four hours, aud stopped as bis opponent had left the track. In the six day contest of last October he finished third with 470 miles, but was twelve hours off the track. Rowell comes from Chesterton, near Cambridge, is twenty-six years of age, five fect six inches in height and weighs 140 «pounds. Mr. Simpson appears to have yreat contidence in his man, and thinks he is the best in Eugland. He believes that a runper can beat a walker, and says that Rowell will probably go 120 miles in the first twenty-four hours. John Ennis, of Chicago, another of the contest- ants, arrived yesterday ae Chicago, look- ing ‘in excelient condition. He has been takin, plenty of exarcige lately, and. recently skated 10 miles in rather short time. The speculators have commenced work already, and there never was awalk in this couptry that is likely to eroage so much betting. At present the odds are 100 to 150 against O'Leary, 100 to 50 against Rowell, 100 to 30 against Harriman and 100 to 10 against Ennis. There is considerable disposition to bet on the distance made, Even money 16 freely offered that 500 miles is beaten, and some few smail bets have been made that 520 miles will be covered, Oue yentleman, McCarroll, of South street, has offered to bet $4,000 to $2,000 that no man covers 550 miles. If the distance was made 540 miles that bet might be teken. DEATH OF GENERAL PEKI-—IMPORTANT NOMI- NATIONS CONSEQUENTLY VOID—ARRIVAL OF HANLAN-~PROSPRCTS OF A BRILLIANT ROWING SEASON. Loxvon, Feb. 15, 1879, One by one the old supporters of the turf drop away, und now the last member of tho three oid friends— Admiral Rous, Mr. George Payne and Gen- etal Peol—Nas joined the majority. On Thursday morning, at one o'clock, after a bricf illness, General Peel died at his residence, at ‘wickenham, one of the pretty Thames Valley villages, & short distance west of London, The deceased gentleman was the fifth von of the first Sir Robert Peel and brother of the qrodt statesman of tha: name, General Peel, or ‘The Right Honorable Jonathan Peel, was born in 1799, and joined the army tn 1815, but peace having then been declared he bad no opportunity for seeing active service, and in the course of a few years he ro- tired as Colonel Peel. He then essayed politics, rep- resenting Norwich and subsequently Huntingdon in the House of Commons from 1826 to 1468, He also held office as Surveyor General ot the Ordnance, re- cetving that appointment under his elder brother's administration in 1841, and when tho late Lord Derby was in power tn 1868-59, and also in 1866, he was ap. pointed to the post of Socretary of State for War and promoted to the rank of Lientenant General in 1859, Such, in brief, was his military and political career; but to a large body of Englishmen he is more inti- mately known asa high minded patron of the turt and intimate companion of Admirat Rous and Mr. George Payne, the former of whom died in 1877 and the Intter Isat y@ur, After several yoars of partner ship in horses, he came out as an owner on his own account in 1841, and in the following yeor his horse Archibald won the Two Thousand Guineas race, which at that time was a much sinaller afait than it is at present. After several years of imodorate success with his limited establistiment he inade a bold bid for the highest honors with fon, who, in 1888, ran second to Amato for the Derby, and to Don John for the St. Leger. A GREAT PRAUD EXPOSED. In 1544, the name of General Peel became indelibly impressed on the antials of the English turf in con- nection with the sd Runuing Rein case, ono of the greatest frauds over attempted in racing mat- wrs, In the Derby of that year two four-year-olds ran, Rupning Rein and Leander, and it was the inten- tion of the ewindlers to get first and ond, and so prevont, if possible, any objection being raiséd to the winner, Unfortunately for their scheme, however, Leander fell and broke bis leg at Tattenham Corne: aud General Pool ran second with Orlando, YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 1879.-TRIPLE SHEET. Several suspicious circumstances induced Peel to imvestigate the case, and he sucreeded in unearthing the swindle and _ bringing the principals to justice, and Orlando was placed Lipst for the Derby by the decision of a court of law. Or- lando afterward earned fame as a sire, and his blood courses through the veins of many of the best horses: of the present day. He died at a green old age in De- cember, 1868, The best bid Colonel Peel made after that for the Derby was with Tadmor, who ran third to the Flying Dutchman and Hotspur in 1849, and two years later he retired from the turf to participate more intimately in polities, Through his friends Lord Glasgow and Mr. George Payne he still pre- served in some degree his connection with racing matters, and he was more or less interested in the success of their horses. Upon his receiving his com- mission as General Peel, Lord Glasgow named one of his colts after him, and he came within an ace of winning the three great races of 1864. General Peel, the horse, won the Two ‘Thousand Guine: that year, but in both Derby and St. Leger ran second to Blair Athol, When asgow died in 1869, he left his entire racing and breeding establishments to Mr. George Payne and General Peel, and the horses were run in the name of the former until 1871, when General Peel's colors once more appeared on a race course. With Enfield he won a couple of races in that and the fol- lowing year, and then he had a good run of success with Lady Masham, who was subsequently sent to his breeding farm, and her son Peter was up to the time of the General's death first favorite for the Two ‘Thousand Guineas and Derby of this year, General Peel usually sold all the colts and fillies he had, and from his farm came Setton, the Derby winner of last year, besides several other good horses, ‘CONSEQU! OF PEEL'S DEATH. @nder the Jaws of racing all nominations are ren- dered void by the death of the nominator, so that a large number of horses will be rendered ineligible to compete for races in which they were entered by General Peel. Foremost among these is Peter, who was engaged in the Two Thousand Guineas, Derby and St. Leger, Rous Memorial Stakes at Ascot, Sus- sex Stakes at Goodwood and the Great Foal Stakes at Newmarket. Lancastrian, the halt brother of Sef- ton, was also highly thought of in connection with the Derby and St. Leger, in both of which he was engaged in addition to other races. Fortunately he was nominated for the Two Thousand Guineas by Mr. Crawfurd, so that holds good. Altogether about fifty nominations will haye to be declared void, The race for the Two Thousand Guineas is now a much more open affair than it wes when Peter was in it, and it is pretty certain to be productive of much speculation and a@ much larger number of horses will be stripped for it than if Peter had been a contestant. The purchase of Falmouth, Peter's former stable companion, by Mr. F. Grettou, inust now be considered a very lucky stroke of busi- ness, for his yalue must now be nearly double the £6,000 Mr. Gretton gave for him, for with Peter out of the way, Falmouth stands out well ahead ot all the two-year-olds of last year. Falmouth, however, has not ‘been doing very well of late and he has been iodined for splints, but beyond stopping him in his work and walking exercise being resorted to, noth- ing more @rious is anticipated, and that, in his case, is not at present a matter of yreat consequence, for he will not be wanted until the Derby is run for. AT PRACTICE AT LAST, The frost, which continued with us for such a length of time, broke up last week, and once more allis bustle on the training grouuds, the horses e1 od in the hurdle race and steeplechase meetings ing pushed on in order to be got ready tor their engagements, while those engaged in the early flat race events are also taking strong exercise, in order to get the extra flesh off, which during their enforced idleness has made them look more like bullocks than thoroughbreds. The first racing of the year began to-day at Carmarthen, in South Wales, but that, as well as all of the meetings which take place between now and the Sandown Park meeting at the close of the month, is quite devoid of interest to all not inti- mately connected with the English turf. ARRIVAL OF HANLAN. Hanlan, the champion sculler of America, arrived at Liverpool, per City of Montreal, on Wednesday, where he was met by Colonel Shaw, the United States Consul at Manchester, and a member of the Haulan Club, of Toronto. Hanlan, who is to be the guest of Colonel Shaw until he goes into strict work for his race with Hawdon, left for Manchester on the day of his arrival in England, and there he remained until to-day, when he took a run down to Newcastle to see Elliott and Higgins row for the championship. The American looks so much of the gentieman that he will rather astonish the Tynesiders, who asso- ciate professionalism with flannel shirts and woollen neckwraps in lieu of collars, combined with cheap jewelry when they are in luck. Hantan had a very Tough time of it on the voyage, suffering from mal de mer for nearly the whole way, and he said yesterday that he had hardly got over it. Hanlan ‘modestly says he does not expect to win races against the Englishmen quite so easily as his ardent admirers think he will. At the same time he looks at his jwestioner, and his quiet emile, full of confi- lence, almost belies his words, for it says, “And I don't think the Englishmen will have such an easy job as they think.” Hawdon, whom Hanlan is matched to row on May 5, is a dangerous mau, but no one can really say how good he is ex- cept his backer or “master,” as professionals would call Jim Percy, now Mr. Percy, since he has got a flourishing public house and can put up his £100 or £200 ag a stake for any of his “school.” Hawdon has won all his races so far in a walk or a paddle or whatever expression is suited to indicate the very easiest way that a boat race can be won. Certainly he beat no one of account, for old Joo Sad- ler is played out; Cannon, of Kingston, had quite a “bogus” reputation, and was little better, if any, than Sadler, while Lums- den ‘cannot row further than a mile at lis best pace to save his life. Yet for all that the best man that ever sat ina boat could not have won easier, Spencer, of Chelsea, who, it will be remem- bered, was bow of the Thames professional four at the Philadetphia Centennial regatta, said to the writer that he considered Hanlan and Hawdon yery unlucky to get together—uulucky for both, but es. pecially tor Hanlan, “tor,” added be, “Hanlan might get beat by a man who could win the championship if he was set.to do it; and so Hanlan, althongh he could, maybe, haye won championship honors, may go back a beaten man.” How hear this view ot the case is correct remains to be seen, ROSS DOING GOOD WORK. Wallace Ross nas gained a lot of triends by his way of doing his work on the Thames, and he is almost certain to beat Emmett, whom he is matched to row on Mareh 10, Indeed, there is a rumor current on the Putney towpath that Higgins cannot give him much start over the long metropolitan course, but that can only be taken cum grano salis, Putney tow- path talk is misleading. In addition to the three matches already spoke the championship race between Elliott and Hig Ross and Kiamett and Hanlan and Hawdon, several other matches have been made. Spencer rows George Tarryer, & Londoner, on April , for £400, and he is also matched with Joseph Kempster, of Sunder. land, to row on the Thames for £200 on April n. "On the latter date Nicholson and km- mett row on the Tyne for 20, but when the parties who are making this match see thot it clashes with the Thames fixture they may. alter the date. So tar we have six matches on the fixture list and the total amount of stakes to be decided m these matches is £1,800, At no time im the history of aquatics in Bngiand were there so many mi s for stich large sums of money arranged. This is only the beginning, ever, and ere the end of April is reached we will have, in all probability, as many more prominent matches pending. Weston is making another failure. This time he undertook to walk 2,000 miles in 1,000 hours over the English country roads, delivering fifty lectures en rmie, Last night, when he had reached Bradgord, ho was 171 miles behind AN AWKWARD PAUSE. of THE GLOBE LIFE IUSURANCE COMPANY WAITING THE APPROVAL OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, Another meeting of the directors of the Globe Life Insurance Company took place yesterday to consider the policy of the corporation in general and the Freeman resignations in particular, Frederick A. Freeman was in prompt attendance, with Deputy Sheriff McGonigal leisurely waiting for him outside the board room. Contrary to previous intention the subject of his resignation as a director was not intro- duced, Instead it was determined to do nothing until the views of the Albany officials had been re- ceived, Attorney General Schoonmaker was informed fully of the new condition of affairs both by letter and telegram, Yesterday ho sent the following message :— Will reply to your telegram of this date to-morrow.

SUSSEX COUNTY'S SENSATION | The Taxpayers Demand a Searching Investiza- tion of the Alleged Frauds, Newton, N. J., Feb, 28, 1879, ‘The unexpected arraignment, swift conviction and severe punishment of the Warren county ring | thieves had a most peculiar effect upon her sister county of Sussex. Here at the county seat the news of the trials and the convictions was as eagerly sought for and discussed as in Warren, and with more than aneighborly interest. For several years back rumors have flown hither and thither to the effect that a ring existed here as in Warren county, and during the present winter these suspicions be- came certainties in the minds of most of the inhab- itants. The interest under the circumstances could not but be intense. The local newspapers teemed with information, and charges were thrown violently in every direction. The county became more or less divided, although Newton is considered the stronghold of the ring, if it really has & stronghold anywhere. The democratic party—the party in power—became divided into what the public call “ring” democrats and “anti-ring’’ democrats. ‘ne excitement continued to increase, until finally the appointment of s committee by the Board of Freeholders somewhat ellayed it. This committeo was appointed on the 30th of January, and is yet in session. It consisted of Thomas T. Simonson, chair- man, of Vernon township and an ex-sheriff of the county; William McDanolds, of Branchville, an ex- judge of the Court of Common Pleas; Horace E. Rude, of Hardystone township, a builder; James b. Huston, of Lafayette township, an ex-judge of the Court of Common Pleas; L. Davenport, of Wantage township, farmer; M. R. King, of Stanhope, mer- chant; John J. Vansickle, of Sandystone township, farmer; O. P. Armstrong, of Lafayette township, miller, and Philip L. Harden, of Green township, a farmer, These men are all members of the Board ot Freeholders. It was decided by this committee to go back ten years in the accounts of the county and make a thorough investigation. ‘This investigation went on for some time without result, ana gradually rumors began to prevail that it was simply a white- washing affair. If, said many, there is to bean in, vestigation why not have an investigation by men who are not interested personally in whitewash? The committee, they say, are simply investigating themselves and their fellow members of the Board. Instead of going back ten years they went back only six, and examined the County Collector's vouchers, which they report as correct. ever, that there are notes there representi of which there are no itemized statements. was that $65,000 paid ? ask the anti-ring men. Foop For THovGHT. ‘The reformers make the following statements con- cerning the finances of the county :—From 1870 to 1877 there was collected in taxes $10,000 more than was necessary to defray the expenses of the county. During this time the county was run in debt to the amount of $64,000, besides the $10,000 of surplus revenue which was spent. It is further claimed that about $17,000 was loaned to different institutions and private persons. No interest, it is said, has been re- turned on this money for a number of years, It is also claimed that $64,000 of the vouchers were and- ited by the Director of the Board, and not by the Board itself, The expenses of the county dropped $24,000 a year as soon as the talk of investigation began, and the reformers very pertinently ask where the $24,000 went in former years. Dr. R. A. Shep- pard was County Collector in 1874, 1875, 1876, 1878 and a part of the present year, and’ the committes have just completed an examination of his accounts. He was first elected in May, 1873, and went into office with a county debt of $1,155 95, exclusive of the school and surplus revenue debts. Toward the close of the winter of 1875-6 it began to be whis- pered about that the county debt had been increasea to $50,000. This was atterward found to be true. It was and is still openly charged that a very con- siderable part of this debt grew out of alleged stealings at the County Poor House. A JUDICIAL INVESTIGATION, After the commencement of the investigation, when the reformers or anti-ring men became con: vinced that it would be at the best a whitewashing affair, steps were taken to make an investigation possible, ‘To this end it was necessary to invoke the aid of the Legislature. The following bill was in- troduced and passed, notwithstanding the most de- termined opposition : AN, Act to Provide for the Summary Investigation of County and Municipal Expenditures :— 1 ie ted by the Senate and General Assembiy of New Jersey that if twenty-tive freeholders in ated village, boron yin this State, shall present to o Court an ‘affidavit: sworn os, and setthn, y paid taxes on real estate within one year, y have cause to believe that the moneys of su ‘ated village, borough, town or city, or of iinlawinlly or ‘eorruptly ex Of such” Justice, upon bursing officer and the legislative igh, tor elty , 10 the affairs of (#1 $65,000 ‘or what such my, are | being act shall be taxed by said Justice and paid upon bis by the dishursing officer of the corporation whose have heen investigated. be it enacted that this act shall take effect im most consternation into the ranks of the ring. The writer calied upon Mr. Jacob L. Swaze, president of the Merchants’ National Bank here. Mr. Swaze is a relative of Mr. Caleb Swaze, of Warren county, who was so prominent there in breaking up the ‘ring. Mr. Swaze is considered a very wealthy man an thought to be the largest taxpayer in Newton. is foremost among the anti-ring men, and is deter- mined that a proper investigation shall be had. In reply to a question as to the specific charges against the ring he said :— “It is very hard to make them, because we cannot get at the books or an itemized account. But this we do know—the county debt has been increased over $100,000 in a few years, and we want to find out who has got the money.” OPERATIONS OF THE RING. ° Revorren—Do y think there has been stealing here as there was in Warren — Mr, Swaze—Well, not exactly. The ring men here are men of more brains than the Warren county men, and they are controlled by a shrewd, sharp lawyer, who makes them proceed very carefully. 1 do not think that the vouchers have been altered here as they were there; butit is not impossible, Outrageous charges have been made for everythiny purchased for the county, and & very loose state o! affairs indeed has existed for years, Rerorren—Do you think thi been stolen by the ring? Mr. Sw. Most assuredly money has been stolen from the county, and a good deal ot rt, too, Revowren—What about the county poorhouse? — | Mr. Swaze—Well, Edwin Berans went in there os steward in 1 Ithink. He was not worth a dollar and was in debt, His salary was $4508 year and in two years he paid. a debt of 81, His salary was raised from time to time, but was never over $500 at any time. He went outin 1876. In the meantime he had purchased a farm in this county for $11,000 money hi really and an interest in one at Ridgowood, Bergon county, for $6,000. He rin the expenses of the poorhouse from $3,000 4 year to over $20,000, These facts we want the committee now in session to show ap, but they will not. here have been other frauds, of course?” ‘es, lots of them, Take bridges, for instance, It has been the custom for years on the part of some of the Freeholders to sell the right to build to some contractor and charge a very large sum for their ser- vices. For instance, two members sold the right to a contractor to build a small bridge for #18 and brought in a bill to the county for $100 for their ser- ‘Was it paid?” “Ot course it was paid. All these things were paid; that’s the whole troubl “How are you going to get at the truth?” “We will get at itsureiy. We will carry—that is, the honest men of the county—the March elections. We will then have a fair committee and a fair inves- tigation, and a searching one.” “Will there be any indictments?” “The ring controls the Sheriff, James L. Decker. He suminons the Grand Jury, He was elected by only fifty-six majority, and we are going to try to get rid of him, ‘There was fraud in bis own township at the election, and we are going to throw him out if possible. He is au entirely unscrupulous politician, But if we fail at all other points we can fall back on the recent act of the Legislature and have a judi- cial investigation.” MANGLED BY A John Heashion, a brakeman on the night fretght train of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, due in the city about half-past twelve o'clock yesterday morning, fell trom bis post a short distances south of Mount Vernon Station, was tun TRAIN, over and is supposed to have died In a very short tune. was not missed until the arrival of the train this city.
