Correspondence of the Eagle. WAsniNaiON, April 30, 1882, Your correspondent met a prominent and experienced Western liopubllcan member of tbo House to day, who is well informed in regard to tho intentions of his party. Wa had a conversation about as follows "What will be done with these elootion casea 1" They will be alternated with other busiuoBB. Tho Tariff Commission bill will probably oomo up on Tuesday and ought to be through by Thursday. The first of tha speoial orders is the Court of Claims bill, in chargo of Mr.

Bowman, which will come up as unfinished business. The next Bpecial order is tho bill to enlarge the powers of the Department of Agriculture, which will come up after the tariff bill, nnlesa an election oase is interjeated. The Geneva Award bill is expootod to follow. If, however, tho Appropriations Committee claim tha floor for tho purpose of massing and shoving the Appropriation bills, they undoubtedly can do so, as the House, will always take up an appropriation bill. Should this bo done, the Appropriation buelness will occupy the month of May.

In such an event, the intention will be to adjourn about the 15th of June. It is not likely, however, that the understanding reaohsd by the "steering committee" of tho Bepublioan caucus will be thua violated by the Appropriation Committee, and the probabilities are that while an appropriation bill may bo interjected occasionally, the oommlttee will not attempt to mass its work. If they should do so, there will undoubtedly be trouble In tho Itepublloau ranks, as the friends of other measures will not willingly submit to it." "How about the little Tariff bill "The Ways and Means Oommlttee will endoavor to obtain consideration of thia measure at an early day, but it is not likely that the special orders already fixed will give way for It, The prospects of a long debate on that measure are good. There will, I believe, be heavy opposition to part of It." "How about THOflB LITTLE BILLS of various kinds, some of them Important will they have any show in the faco of the steering committee Many of thsae will be passed by unanimous consent. Thoee thero is strong opposition will hardly got through.

This class of bills can only ba reached on suspension days by a suspension of the rules, which are Mondays, and the last six days of tho Bossion. Then there ia another of bills reported by committees, for some of which special orders have already been mado. On the third Monday of each month motions to suspend the rules are made by committees, and each committee will eeleot its most Important bill, and in that way the calendar will be measurably sifted. Yet hundreds of bills on which work has bean dona and reports made and whioh could be easily acted upon will miss fire this session and die with the Congress. If I had more time I could tell yon what aommlttees have special orders, but the calendar will ahow you.

Home of thorn aro very important. For inatauoe, tho Money Order bill from the Postal Committee, the Letter Carrier's bill and tho Savings Bank bill. Then the Committee of Commerce have aaVeral bills, notably those relating to tho head money tax, the repeal of the tonnage dues, and amendments to ths shipping commissioner's act with regard to the shipment and disoharge of seamen. Sev eral other oommltteos havo important affairs before them which have not been reported but it is safe to say that each of the leading committees will endeavor to Beoure the passage of its more important measures." "What has become ot tbat bill (or tho extension of bank charters 7" "Mr. Crapo, under instructions from his committee, moved to suspend the rules and fix a day for its consid eration, but not obtaluiug a twof thirds vote tha order as not made.

Undonbtedly a. strong esort will be mada to secure aotlon on that question. THE FRIENDS OF THE BANKS olaim that unleBS the time be extended, tho surplus that the banks havo accumulated will of oonrse be dissipated by liquidation. On the other hand, some of tha banka may not ba In a sound condition ana it may seriously baneflt the country to have their affairs wound np and their debts snown tne good irom the bad. To be porfeotly frank and highly confidential abont It, the milk in the cocoannt ia to save the banks the ex penBO of getting up new plates, new books, eta, because nndar the law aa it is, a bank oan effect a new organization at any time.

A good deal of the claim aa to the contraction of the currency and all that sort of thing is, in my jndgmant, all moonshine. The true inwardness is in saving to the banks certain expenses which they would not havo to incur If the time Is ex tended, and which they would have to inoivr if thoy reorganize. They would nave to liquidate at once when their charters expire, "Would this not disturb business affairs by shutting up all tho banks and driving them Into tha State bank system 2" "No, becauso the national banks were not all organized on the sanio dates sonsoquently, thoir charters do not all expire on the same date." "Yes, but thoro are 193 banks whose charters wonli expire with the ending of this Congress, and some twelve oi fifteen that would oxplra bofora the end of thi3 session. Those banks must OALL IN LOANED MONEY in ordi retire their circulation. Would not thia affect the industries of the localities where the retiring banks exist 7" "That would depend, of course, as to whether tha national bank circulation is the main or only circulation In those localities which is Is not the case.

Ninety per cent of the business of tha country Is transacted by commercial paper. Then, again, the ooin and coin certificates would meet the deficiency to a certain extent. Undoubtedly, there would ba some stringency, bnt you must remember that the business men would discount any contingonoy that would arisa out of such a condition of affairs. The fact is, the true elasticity of the enrrenoy Is found in. tho ability of truated firms to maka and use commercial paper.

"But thero is a 10 per esnt tax on all issues over the counter of State banks or municipalities. I presume you want that wlped'ont so that national banks can commence again under State laws 1" "By no means. If the question wera between national and State banks a banks issue, I for one would stand by the. national banks, forever. But it is not likely that Congress, in the business Interests of tho country, will ever consent to revival of red dog and wildcat.

The day will come when the United States notes will be issued as national bosk notes ara retired. But that day may ba a long waj off." Cope. BROOKLYN CITY SAFE DEPOSIT COMPANY.

Postmaster Pearson fjaid to day that hirnRelf and Superintendent Richards, of the city delivery department of the main Teat (Jfilce, had examined all tho olleotora of mail matter in the lower district, in tho boxes of which the Infomal machines addressed to Mr. Vanderbilt and Mr. Fiold had boon deposited, but nono of the men rooollcotod from which particular boxes thoy had colleoted tho matter.

They had not as yet been able to attain any clue whatever that would load to tflo disoovory of tho perpetrators of tho outrago. Mr. Pearson when asked if ho haa officially notified the police about tho matter, replied in tho uogatlve, as ho thought if the police considered it a matter for ibem to investigate, they would in all likelihood do it lulr own way. In his opinion both of the boxes wero mailed by the same person, though the handwriting on each was different. The box addressed to Mr.

Field had boon dropped in a lamp post bos whKe Iho other one had beeu laid on top of tho box as is frequently tho case. Ho had no theory whatover about tho matter, aud said that they would do whatever ocourred to them to hunt down thoecoundrel. Special Agent Sowcomb and his assistant, Mr. Gardner, wera found in thole private offlco by tbo reporter miuutely examining and studying tho debris and remnants of the Infernal machines which wera scattored over one of their desks. Mr.

Newoomb said there was uothing new lu tho caie. and thoy wero giving their earnest attention to the discovery of soms eluo by which thoy might hunt down the perpetrator of tho outrago. Beyond the remains of the exploded and uuexploded maohlnes they waro quite in the dark about the mat tor. About noou Superintendent Walling visited Mr. Nowcomb'a office, aud upon examining the infernal machines pooh poohed the Idea that oitbor of them would havo killed anybody.

"Though it is probable," ho added, "whoever opened them would hava had Ihelr eyebrows and skin tcorched." Ho did not thtuk that the explosion of either box would have hurt aDy person, evon if he had stood over it.

The deoeased woman was a Mrs. Farrington, living with her husband between Bound Brook and Chimney Rock, about Beven niila from this oity. The Farringion family are all Roman CathollOB, except ono sister, who married a Protestant named Wolfs, and adopted the religion of her husband. Tho Wolfos also livo near Bound Brook.

When Mrs. Farrington died, hor husband, being in poor olrcumstauceB, went to ono of his daughters, who had married a Roman Catholio, and endeavored to secure her aid in paying he funeral expensos. Failing to procure assietanca there, he then went to tho Protestant daughter, who agreed to sharo the expenses of her mother's burial. Preparations for the funeral wero mado withoutinterraptlon aud It was arranged to Inter tho body In tho William street Cemetery, which a a ProUstant institution. The remains, in charga of Patrick Bush, a Bound Brook undertaker, and accompanied by Mrs.

Wolfe and her husband aud a number of relatives and acquaintances, were brought to this city. When tho party arrived at Evona, ono mile from Plainneld, tbey were overtaken by a wagon containing tho Catholic daughter, hor husband and her two brothers. The latter prnty stopped the hearse and in ft very violent manner forbada the burial of the remains in a Protestant cemetery. Tho undortakor wis puzzled what to do, but finally drove on, the Catholio party accompanying tho procession. Insteod of going direot to the cemetery the under taker drove to tbo polico station and askod tha advice of Captain Dodd.

Tbo Catholio sons and danghtor threatened vlolenoe in oaso an attempt was made to iutcr the body elsewhere than In consecrated ground. There was a loud quarrel among the men while the prooesslon was at the polico station, but no blows were struck. Mr. Farrington was willing that his wife's body should be interred in tho Protestant ground, and his sons and son in law would probably have coneented had it not been for the violent opposition of tho wifo of tho latter. By Captain Dodd's direction, tho funeral proceeded to the cetuctary, and was thero mot by him.

He called tho Catholic daughter aud hav husband anido, aud warned them of tne serious nature of tho cll'euse thoy would commit if thoy Interfered with tho burial, and advised them for the sake of preserving tho decen cloa of tho occasion to allow tha interment to bo made, and, if thoy were dissatisfied, to secure tho removal of the remains at some future timo. Meantime tha undertaker was proceeding with tho burial, and had lowered tha coffin Into the gravo. Tho Catholic daughter did not at first notice this iu her excitement, and when she did sea it she gave a shriek, and rushing to the open grave, assaulted her sister, Mrs. Wolfe, iu the vilest language, raving like a crazy woman, aud Anally she picked up a club aud tried to brain hor sister. Captain Dodd interfered and deprivod hor of hor weapon, but was nnnblo to calm hor rage.

Her husband and brothers did uot Interfere, but a largo crowd gathering around, composed largely of Catholics, there seemed likely to bs a general fight, sympathy being largely with the daughter raving at the interment of hor mother iu unholy urouud." Captain Dodd and Undertaker Bush succeeded in hustling tho mourners Into tho carriages In tha noise aud confusion, and they wero driven rapidly off, followed at Bome diatanco by tha Catholic brothers and sisters, threatening van geauca. SniPHEKD'3 COUNSEL Senator Blair Before the Foreign Af fairst Committee IS In Syinpatby with Peru aud Shiphcrd's Conipun Anxious to Helu Both at the Siaiue Time. By Associated Press. Washington, May 1. Senator Blair read a paper before the Foreign Affairs Committee to day in effect as folloira: "I know nothing of tha membership of tha Peruvlau Oompany except tho prasldout, Mr.

Shipherd I do not know of any member of eithor House being In any way whatever connected with It except myself, and my conneotlon with it was purely as oouusel, with no pecuniary interest whatever in the company, and with no expectation whatever of pecuniary reward." The stetemeut then rehearsed at soma length tbo situation Of affairs in Peru and Chili, aud tha writer's aympathy for Peru and dosira to prevent her diftmemberaiont, which led him to take an interest in tha purposes and objects of the Peruvian Company. The statement then set fortb tho olrcumstanoes which led up to witness ACCErTINO A RETAINER from the Peruvian Company. He was introduced to Mr. Shiphord in New York as he (witness) was iasslog through on his way to Now Hampshire. Later near tho middle of July ho bsw Shipherd ugalu In New York and bad a long conference with him, in which Ship herd expreesad utrong sympathy with Peru, and explained that hia company was calculated to afford an opportunity to Poru to settle her difficulties and avoid loss cf territory witness listened to a long aocouut from Shlplierd of tho plans of the company and promised hia cordial sympathy and aid Shipherd spoka of ottering a retainer which witness at that time daallned.

Sometime in August Sblpherd wrote offering witueBs as a retainer stook la the company witness replied that ha proferred a retainer in money If he took any shortly after ho (Shipherd) sent witness somo scrip winch he subsequently returned, for the reaBouB whioh he set forth at tha timo in a letter. Witness thon read the letter In whioh, wlitle expressing inn hearty sympathy with Peru and the Peruvian Company in its desire to save her from diBmembarmeut, he fouDd that events were taking a turn which rendered it highly probable that the subject would become ona for Congressional ao tion, and in view of his distinct stipulation in deciding to take a retaiuor that he should raturu it at any time under such contingencies, ho therefore returned the scrip and asaarad ilr. Shipherd that bia sympathy was still strongly with the lino of policy toward Pern which the Peruvian oompany favored. Witness then read tho letter whioh he wrote at tha same time to ex Senator Eaton, remarking, With tho exception of ex Senator Cragtn, this is the only gentleman with whom I over had any correspondence, on the aubjeot," The letter to ex Senator Eaton bore date Novnibor 28, 1881. Tha letter says; "Mr.

Ship herd's management of the affairs of the Peruvian Company accme to be tending bo much in a direction towards requiring Congressional action that I have felt it my duty to retire from my eonuactlou aa couusel, and I hava returned my retainer." Ia further allusion to tha company It says: "Iu fact I have never received anything of value from It, and again I should be sorry if this opportunity to help both North and South America should I'D lost by a failure on tbo part of our Government to malutuin a mild yet firm policy." Wit noBS then explained his view of what this nolicy had been, and added "So far aa I know, the affair of Mr. Sbtpherd's had no influence whatever upon the polioy of our Government, and never had the effect to altor or change it in any conceivable degree." Witness thoo alluded to tho lutervlewa with Secretary Blaine, which took place on tho 25th aud 26th of July, and added "I desire to state that I saver heard Mr. Shipherd mike any mention ia the presence of Mr. blaiue on any other occasion in my presanoe of his having made AM OFFEB TO MIKISTE8 HCTELBUT of $250,000 of stock In the Peruvian company, neither did I ever have any correspondoucajwlth Minister Hurl but on the subject of the Peruvian company. Witness had received a latter from Mr.

Hurlbut, but never anawored it. In tha letter Mr. Hurl but mentioned naving received many communications from Mr. Shipherd. aud said ho oould not make him (Shipherd) understand that ho (Hurlbut) cpuJd not act In the matter, oxcept ou instructions from the State Department.

Witness novor replied to this letter of Mr. Hurlburt. Witness then stated that ho knew of tbo letter to Mr. Arizala, but had nothing to do with its preparation, Mr. Shipherd read to him (nituesB) soma portions of it, after it had been sent.

Did not too at the time or now any impropriety in Mr. Bhipherd'a sending it to Mr. Arizola, through Minister Hurlbut. It was known that the mails ware being tampered with, and this Beamed to be tha only secure way of sanding tho lotter so that it would reach ltB final destination. Witness tirt saw the long letter of Mr.

Sblpherd's to Walter Blaine when he saw It In the printed report of Sliiphcrd's examination beforo the committee. He had, however, been requested by Secretary Blalu to intoriu Mr. Shipherd that he (Blaine) did not wiBh him (Shipherd) to hold any correspondence with any subordinates of tho State Department, aud this desire he Had verbally conveyed to Mr. Shiphord; witness knew nothing of the Credit ludtutrial or its oontract with Calderon. In relation to his (Blair'E) letter to Shipherd in which he says "You should aot as though American ships of wars were on the way." Witceaa believed that our Government ought to coneiilor the kidnapping of Calderon a breaoh of good faith toward this country, and while he did not at that time entertain the slightest apprehension of auy war between tho United States and a little nation of less than 2,000,000 however black thoy might be, he had thoubgt it most likeiy that American ships of war would be sent to the South American waters as Euglioh ships had already beeu.

He understood that General Grant, without any pecuniary interest whatever in tha Peruvian Company, was Btrongly in favor of rendering such sympathy and aid to Pe. as would assist in giving her a chance before permitting her dismemberment As for himself he could not belie to in a foreign polioy of debasement, and whatever otbera bad thought of the Ship herd Company, there wero those who believed in its possibilities to play no unimportant part in the aettlemen of tho 8outh American situation. He had understood from Shipherd that the company waa abundantly baoked with capital, and proposed to afford to Tern an opportunity to extricate herself from her ananlal diffi oultlos and avoid dismembermant of her territory. To this extent he had given his sympathies and aid as counsel to tha company. Representative Blount stated that ho wished to have the statement In print before proceeding with any farther oxumlnation, and as the hour of adjournment had arrived the committee went Into secret session, when it was decided that tho sub committee appointed to go to Now York will remain hare until Mr.

Blair's testimony is concluded. Chairman Williams says he will oall the committee together Wednesday or Thursday to resume the examination of Senator Bltlr, Hanlan Rows Down Trickett oft the Thames To day.

laoFp tbar. New York. Jioalo oaitK. SEE) e. EB 1 EEH A Sunday Morning Verdict Eeleas ing Harry 0, Jones, KWllie Jury Stood A Divided Opinion as to Whether the Accused was Morally Guilty Judjre Moore Gives the Jury an Extra Allowance Under the Kow Code.

The news that the jury in the case of the People vs. Harry O. Jones had brought in a verdict of acquittal; spread rapidly over the city yesterday morning. It was about half past nine o'clock when the jury came in and gave their verdict. Whan at two o'clook on Sunday morning the jury were locked up for the night, they sent word to Judge Moora that they would like to have their breakfast at seven o'clock.

Judge Moore sent them word that breakfast would be served as early as poisiblo, and that he would bo at the Court House at nine o'clock, to rooeive any communication from them. The orowd which had been in waiting all tho evening, wont away, and silence fell upon tho Court House. Tha jurors were in tho judge's chambers of tho Supremo Court. There was no dlsoussioa after midnight, but they camped down on chairs and on the floor, and slept uneaelly until morning. It was eight o'clock yesterday morning before breakfast was strvod to the jury from Dieter's, and it was after nine before the meal was concluded, and half an hour afterward word was received that tho Jury had agreed.

Judgo Moora had arrived at the Court House promptly at nine o'clock, and the court room had been opened. About a hundred people were waiting about tho Court House to hear the news. THE VERDICT. Tho sound of the Jurors feet as they came down the stairs echoed through the quiet Court Houso and reached tho throng at the door, who instantly crowded in aud partly filled tho court room. Judgo Moore and the Justioes were speedily on tho bench.

Mr. Joues took a seat at tha end of ibe table used by counsel. He had a worn and anxious Mr. Woruborg took tho place which he had occupied during the trial. Mr.

Backus sat at tbo other end" of tho table with his face to tha Jury and his back to the bonch. Mr. Brittou and General Catlln were not present. Clork York, having called tho jury and oil having answered, put the question "Gentlemen of tho jury, have you agreed upon yonr verdict 7" Foreman Cowperthwaita (retaining his seat) We have. Clerk How Bay you, do you find the defendant guilty, as charged iu tho indictment, or not guilty Foreman Not guilty (a pauso of three seoonds) on tho indictment.

An outburst of applause shook the room. Mr. Jones sat still with his eyes fixed on the Jury. Judge Moore thanked tha jury for the patience with which they had discharged their duties. Tho new Codo, he said, provided for the additional remuneration of jurors who were detained on a case over thirty days.

His honor know that eome of the jurors had been put to great inconvenience and loss, and he thought that this was a case in which extra remuneration should ha allowed. Ha would consult with the District Attorney, aud anuounoe the result next day. Mr. Wernberg said that he could not allow tno occasion to pssa without expressing tho obligation of himself and his client to Mr. Brittou, to whose soir de nyiug oud earnest industry thoy owod so much.

Judge Moore said that during thirty yearB at the bar he had nevor known a case ao ably prepared and conducted, on both sides. The gentlemen who had the preparation of the caaa for tho people had displayed great ability, and the gentlemen who bad conducted tho defense had shown au amount of zeal and care seldom equaled. The court arose and Mr. Jones graepod Mr. Wern borg's hand with his right hand aud placed his left on tho shoulder.

A host of friends gathered around and Bhook Mr, J01103 and Mr, Wornbeig by tho hand. In flvo minutes the Court House was deserted. HOW THE JURY STOOD. While the jurors wora not averse to telling the current of changes in the balloting in tho ury room, they refused to Bay how Individual membtrs stood. It was learned from them that wheu thoy retired on Friday night the first ballot stood seven for acquittal and live for conviction.

Several ballots wore taken with a like refc'ult, and then iu the course of the discussion some questions was raised as to the meaning of the judge's chargo, aud at tou o'clock ou Friday evening they came iu for instructions. After they retired again auother ballot was lakon and they slood equally divided six to six. The diHcussion wont ou and again it changed back to seven to livo. Tho next change waB eight to four and then nine to three. About two o'clook they sent down word to tha judge that they were going to bed.

This meant tho suspension of dleeuSalon for the night. The next day thoy were served with their meals.reg ularly aud the discussion was continued all day. Soma timo during Saturday tho ballot reachod tan for acquittal and two Tor oonviotion, and by Saturday night It was eleven to one. The Juror who hung out' was Mr. William Schmitj.

His oompanions argued with blm but he refused to listen. At last It waa discovered that he had gained a wrong impression from tho words of tho judgo. As nearly as could ba got at ba thought that ho was not allowed to discuss the matter, much less ehjnge his mind, becauso he had mado up his mind before they loft the jury box. It was this disooyary which brought thorn down to the jury room at 11 o'clock Saturday night, and as told iu the SukdaI Eaijl? yesterday morning. After Judge Mooro had explained the jiolnt, tho Jury retired.

When again iu tho jury room Mr. Schmttz Bald he would Jlkd to sleep Upon tho matter, and iu the morning he would say what he would io. Discussion was thereforo suspeudod until yesterday morulug, and after breakfast Mr, Schmitz agreed to a verdict of acquittal. The ground of this change was that the defendant was outltled to tha benefit of tha doubt. From an expression dropped by ono of the jurors, it was found that while somo of tho jurors were of tho opinion that It was morally certain that tbo defendant know the money he riceived from Stuart was stolen, they thought the evidence did not prove tho faot beyond a roasonaula doubt, and wera therefore Id favor of acquittal.

This morning an Eagle reporter saw MB. EDWARD M. JEWELL, of Jewell Brothers' flour mills. Mr. Jewell said the jurors bad pledged themselves not to say bow any of tbelr number stood individually, but ha thought that all, or nearly all, were convinced morally that the defendant must have known tho money he was handling was stolen.

Still ba did not think the evidence was sufficient to prove tbat fact beyond a reasonable doubt. If the case had been given to the jury when tho proseaution olosed, he thought the Jury would not have been out five hours before thoy would have brought in a verdict of not guilty. In other words, he did not thtuk tha prosecution had proved their case. With regard to the juror who hsld out last, and whoBo name he would not mention, he did not think tbore waa a moro conscientious man on the Jury. As a whole, ho thought that there was uot one tuon on the jury who could have been approached or influenced in any way and all talk about crooked work was simply nonsense JTjnOIt WM.

O. BTOBY was found at Ms roal estate offioe, No. 232 Court afreet, this morning. He said hs was not convinced that thero was a moral certainty even of guilty knowledge on tha part of the dofendaut. Had Jones known the money he was using was Btoleu he thought he, JoneB, would have boon moro careful about making a display of wealth.

As to how tha other jurors stood on the moral qusstlon, he oould not say, and oould only epoak for himself, He did not think that even moral guilt was made out. Juror Borhard W. Ooperlhwalte, tho foreman, said yesterday morning iu otfout, that he thought the moral evidence in the cass was against the defendant but tbat legally, under the law, as laid down by the court, it was not sufficient. This remark was made to Mr. Backus, tho Assistant District Attorney, and also to Mr.

Tait, one of the experts employed in the oase. It was learned from another source itiat Juror Henry A. Wheeler was not convinced of the moral guilt of the defendant. An effort was made to find the other Jurors, but they could uot bo reached in time. Of the seven who voted on the first ballot for acquiltal soma at least believed the moral question to be against the defendant, and hold that under tho low as given by the court the evidence did not warrant a conviction.

The following is tha panel of jurors who tried the case: Kobert L. Nimmo, 517 Clinton street, Silas B. Weeks, 550 Richards street. Kdvfard M. Jewell, 123 Wiilonghby avenue, John B.

Phillips, 168 Putnam avenue. James XV. Malonfly, 907 Dushwlek avenue. Henry A. Whoolor, Gates aud Clausen avonues.

Bernard W. Cowperthwait, 231 Willoughby avenue. Louis Schueckenbnrg. 320 Twelfth street. John Ballard, 038 Fifth avenue.

William 48 Montrosa avenue. William C. Storey, 370 Atlantic avenue. W. Augustus Lanronoo, 610 tftate atroeb Had there beeu a conviction, it would have held in all probability, fov there was not au exception iu the casa which was worth a snap.

Whether it could have boon upset on the evidence, is a question. It is understood tbat tha fact that the defendant, Jonos, did not go upon tho wltuess stand, was a severe blow to the proseoution, as it deprived tho proseoution of the ohanco to cross examine him. H0VISG SPECTACLES, The Nomadic Aspect of tho City To day People la All Dlroelons Ohnng inn Their Places of Abode. The streets of Brooklyn to day present a busy and active scone, and the cartmen, upon the principle of "making hay while the Ban shines," are the true and only masters of tha situation. It Is hardly possible to pass through a street in any section of the city, that there is not more moving than has been witnessed by the oldest inhabitant for many years baok.

On the fairies immense furniture vanB and truoks are disputing tbo right of way, and It seems as if one half of Brooklyn ware moving to the other half. The only time when people are painfully aware of an occasional superabundance of worldly goods when personal effect become too personal when stovepipes show their apparent animation, aud like the ghost In "Macbeth" will not down when the outgoing and the Incoming mistress of household affairs calls man a brute, and alts down and has a good cry, and when the feebler sex recognizes only too truly the words of Solomon that "All is vanity and vexation of spirit," has arrived. Many will realize to night as chey sit in the wreok or matter and hear tho compaints of human tongues the emptiness of the words, "Home, Sweet Home," and the approprlatenes ot the hymn, 'Mid Scenes of Confusion," The reason for ao niuoh moving is apparent. The Increase of rents baa been very general and applies to all dosses of property. In eome instances the owners of frame dwellings (without improvements) have advanced tha rents beyond their real value, and the tenants refusing to accede to those demands have removed to other parts of the city more distant from the ferries, betaking themselves to small, comfortable and modern constructed biown stone dwellings, at rates no higher than demanded for the shanties.

But even If the frame houses have bean vaoated, tenants also seem to have been waiting for them, although in many cases they have obtained them at reduced rente. THEBB IS MUCH MOVING in the Iowor wards of tho oity, even tho staid, sober and pre eminently respectable First Ward contributing its full sharo to tho quota, and doing its level best to add to the oartmen's business. Up on tha Hill many families are changing their places of residence, and in Bedford avenue there has been a constant procesilon of household effects all day long. In the Twenty second Ward there has been a greater accession to the list of inhabitants than for a number of years post. The pure air, excellent water facilities, the modern convenience of the houses nd the proximity of that section of the city to the Park hava been Instrumental in inducing many families from New York and Jersey oity to make Brooklyn their home.

In the Eastern District the resi dents have not been behind their friends in tha Western, and dwellings near the ferries have drawn many New York families, who find it more convenient to live there than np town in New York.

a prll 30, Speoial Correspondence of the Eagle. There are eome significant facts in the testimony submitted before the Senate Committee on Insurance by James H. Frothingham, who has been a resident of Brooklyn for upward of forty years, and who is one of tho boat known and moat rcBpeoted gentlemen in the city, Mr, Frothingham had the general superintendence of tha affairs of tha five defunct life insurance companies of which Henry B. Plerson was reoeiver, these oompanles being tho North America, ths Guardian Mutual, the Widows and Orphans' Benefit, tho Reserve Mutual and the New York State Life. Living In this city, where hs Is engaged in tho banking business, Mr.

Plerson naturally found it necessary to have in charge of insurance affairs In New York a man ot rlpa experienoa and unquestioned ability, and sending for Mr. Frothingham, he agreed to pay him $5,000 per annum for his services as general manager or superintendent. Mr. Frothingham ontered upon the discharge of his duties in March, 1877, and for nearly three yoars subsequently was en gagod in settling the accounts of the policy holders of the different companies. According to his testimony, the assets of the New York State Lite, exclusive of those lodged with the Insurance Department, were very small, and the asmo was true of tha WldowB' and Orphans' Benefit, and the Reserve Mutual.

The assets of these companies In the department were assets discovered after tho receiver's appointment, and Mr, Frothiugham did not remamber the preolse amounts, although he thought that $25,000 would coyer any one of the three. The assets of the Guardian Mutual were also very small, not exceeding a few thousand dollara, Mr. Frothingham did not remember tho Jiihiilties of tho different companies, he oould give a general Idea as to what they were. For instance he know that the liabilities of tha Now York Slate and the Beserve Mutual wore In eaoh case considerably less than tha value of tha uad in tha Insurance Department in thiB oity. In the case of the Widows' and Orphana' Benefit, there were assets enough in value to dlBoharge about one third of the liability, although it would be impossible to give a more dotailed statement aa to the condition of affairs.

The atock of the New York State was bought up by tho Guardian Mutual the stook of the Widows' and Orphans' Benefit was purchased by the Reserve Mutual; tho stook of tho Beserve Mutual was absorbed by tho Guardian and finally the stock of the Guardian was swallowed by the Universal Life, which turned out to be among the most corrupt aud ill managed iu the array of defunct companies. And right hero Mr. Frothingham entered into a description of tho process of IN8UBAN0B WBEOKAGE, ao prevalont in most of tho companies. When it be oame evident that a company was insolvent, tho ohlef stookholderB would purchaae a controlling iutereBt iu another oompany, and adviae tha policy holders la the expiring company to transfer their polloies to the one of whichthey had recently obtained control. Thua tho same man fiounderod about from one company to another, leaving ono when it became insolvent, placing their capital in another, and representing the operation wheu others became insolvent also.

The individuals who had the controlling interest in tho Universal Life wero formerly those who had the controlling interest in the Guardian Mutual, and thoy found it to their own personal benefit to wreck the latter, secure a transfer of policies before the crash oame, and gobble up tha profile, Wljon the companies failed one' by 3he, tney went into tho hands of receivers, and the length of time they so remained, together with the onorhions expenditures consequent thereon, suggested to the Legislature the necessity of starting investigations whioh have been so vigorously and effectively pushod. Continuing his testimony, Mr. Frothinaham said that during the short time ho was in New Fork, Mr. Pierson established himself in one of the offices of the Universal Life, and there remained until he made arrangements to go elsewhere. He employed a number of olerks, and apparently there was always enough work to keop them busy.

One of tha most significant statements in the testimony Was to the effeot tbat none of the oompanles of which Mr. Plerson was receiver had registered polioy holders except tha North Amarloa. The manner in which notioaa were sent to policy holders and the prooess tho holders went through in order to prbvo fhelToTaims and oTbtaTn what dividend they wero entitled to, if any, was satisfactorily explained; and apparently this part of the business waa oonducted in the most scrupulous aud straightforward way. It appears that there were attorneys in New York and elsewhere who made It their special buslnoss to obtain copies of tho names of policy holders In the different oompanfes; and that these attorneys, knowing of the crash whioh must inevitably come sooner or later, went to sos ths policy holders and endeavored to induce them to put their interests in their hands. This waB a common praotlce in New York, although so far as Mr.

Frothtngham's knowledge extended NO LISTS Off POLIOr HOLDERS. in any of the companies of which Mr. Plerson was receiver were given out to attorneys. A Mr. Parsons, of Brooklyn was appointed referoa by tha court to pass upon contested questions in the management of the companies, and Parsons had a ilttlo office fn the same building as the receiver, and ejen acted as receiver for a period of about a year.

Mr. Frothingham oould not tell what allowance the referee reoalved for his eervices, but he was positive that ha did not get what he wanted, and that owing to this faot there was a controversy between him and the racelrar, which lasted for a long time and which for all Mr. Frothingham knew might havo been characterized by a good deal of acrimony. Mr. Frothingham could not state whether or not the referee reoalved $10,000 for his services it might have bean much more, and it might hare been considerably less but certain it waa that there were between five and six hundred oases before him, and that there was a hearing every day In the week for several weeks together.

In answer to a question whether there was a dividend declared on tho policies outstanding in the four companies other than the North America, Mr. Frothingham said that a dividend was declared through the Insurance Department. The dividend In tho case of the New York State Company and tho Reserve Mutual was one hundred per beoause there was more than enough with which to pay up; but the dividend in tho case of the Guardian Mutual waa very trifling, amounting to not moro than two or five per cent, at the mOBt. The Guardian Mutual paid no less than $10,679 (or lawyers' and referees' expenses, although Mr. Frolhlngham could not teU what proportion of tho amount went to referees, the latter rooeivlng their payment when Mr.

Pieraon settled permanently in this oity. In answer to a number of questions put by Senator Titus, Mr. Frothingham Bald that he was ablo to state positively that all the funds whioh went into Mr. Pierson's hands at receiver were deposited by blm (Plerson) upon collateral security as receiver, and tbat he did not use any of tha money in his own private business, When asked on what authority he based his statement, Mr. Frothingham said that his own Individual knowledge of THE AFFAIBtf OF THE BEOETVEB warranted the assertion.

Mr. Plerson was a banker of eminent standing, and It was not necoasary for him to draw on moneys which went Into hie hands as reoeiver in Oidar to meet obligations directly concerned with hia own private bualness. When Mr. Plerson was on the stand he waa himself questioned at length on this point, because the 00m mltteo seemed to think that if any irregularity at all was disclosed in connection with hia administration, it would bear directly on ths question as to the use 0 the moneys which went into his bands as roceivor. But there was no irregularity proven In this conneotlon, True, Mr.

Pieraon deposited throo or four hundred thousand dollars with a broker's firm In New York by the name of Chase Atkins, but why he did 0 was Bhown by the testimony of Mr. Frothingham, whioh was particularly clear on this point. '1 know," said Mr. Frothingham, "that Mr. Pieraon deposited a large amount of money with this firm upon miscellaneous collaterals, and I suggested to him the advisability of depositing it with some loan or trust company.

But no 1 In reply to such a suggestion Mr, Plerson said that by depositing the money with soma loan or truBt company he would receive only about 2 per cent, interest, while on the other hand, by permitting the money to remain with Cbaao Atkins, he would receive no less than 4 per cent. Interest" Mr. Frothingham was questioned as to any suggestions hs might have to give ths committee regarding the future management of insurance oompanles, to the end that the committee might embody themf ln its report to the Legislature, and by adopting them guard against evils whlah had been so much oomplained of in the past, and which were likely to be complained of in tha future. Mr: Frothingham said that he had no new suggestions to offor which he thought would be of any value. The safeguard against fraud and corruption and insurance management waa supposed to bo the Insurance Department, and if tho department failed in its duties and permitted companies to revel in luxurious rottenness at their own sweet will, it was not to be supposed that the oompanles would take the trouble of honestly managing themsalves.

This statement Mr. Frothingham did not Intend to apply to all oompanles, because there were some which could be rellod upon for honest and upright management, Irrespective of the iDsnraaca Department but if there waa a remedy to be found at all, that remedy was in the hands of the department. As to whether or not the department had properly performed lta dutieB in the past, Mr. Frothingham did not venture an opinion, contenting himself with reiterating his statement that all the relief that waa necesBary oonld be round In tne department as at present constituted. Mr.

Frothingham did not know of any irregularities In Mr. Pierson's aooounts he had known the amount of all the money reoelvod and all the money paid ont by Mr. Pieraon as receiver, and during the whole of hia association with him, he had not astertained anything which could not be viewed as being striotly legitimate. The only thlno; which Mr. Frothingham considared at all ont of the way waa tha fact that Mr.

Plerson deposited bte money with a broker's Arm, instead of with a bank or safe deposit company, and why he did so, he thought, had baen explained is satisfactorily to the committee as to the pub float large. A. O. B. BROOKLYN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.

Bchool funds to the oity's flnanolal officers.

Mr. Semler said "They in bo wise strengthen tbelr opposition, whioh has been eo weak that tho bill without any exertion on my part and on its merits alone, passed both Houses of tho Legislature within one weak after Its Introduction. It Is altogether a matterof reason and mathematics! and it would porhapa seem nnoharltablo undor existing circumstances to enlarge upon the arguments In favor of its passage. But leaving It to take its course I wiah to eay a few words In roply to a remark reported to have been made by one of tha gentlemen Impugning my motives in this matter. He is reported to have expressed his belief that I framed the bill for the purpose of advancing my own political ambition.

Now, sir, the gentleman may not know that I entertain no higher political ambition than to perform my duty as well afl I know how, and that I consider It a part of my dnty to throw all poBslble safeguards around the public funds. Under tho provisions of thia measure all the bills of tho Board of Education will have to pass the scrutiny of the Auditor's, Controller's and Mayor's office. Had this been tha ease in former years the oitlzena of Brooklyn would not now be lamenting the theft of $300,000, stolen from funds devoted to a saored purpose. 1 the gentleman had mada himself familiar with the provisions of tha bill, before he undertook to oritloise my motives, he would have spared himself a painful correction, The bill, as I propose it, does not become a law before September next. No money will bo transferred to the Bchool fund before January next My term of office expires on tho last day of Deoember next.

80 you see that tha passage of this bill affords me no opportunity whatsoever to advance my polltloal ambition, if any I hava. Let ma add that I have expootod no opposition to thia bill from any of the gentleman forming tha Board of Eduoation. I expected that they would cheerfully embrace this op portunity to ba relieved of a responsibility whioh must be to them as troublesome as is unprofitable, and can but burden their time and act as a drawback upon tha prlnoipal duties of their office. Their chief care should be for tho proper education sad cultivation of our children, a trust so great and noble that it should not be Joined to or hampered by considerations of a whioh bb must hatha case la divided among so inauy, all responsibility of the individual la lost in tho joint responsibility of the whole. Although the provisions of this bill will make more work and responsibility for this office, It will afford and prompter facilities for the payment of teaohers and othors having business with the Board of Education than nowexi3t, and as it will afford additional soourity to this fund, I think the Controller ought to be willing to take the additional trouble and responsibility.

THE MESSAGE FHOM THS MAX OB was then read; Mayok's Office, Cm Hall, 1 Br.oOKLira, April 29, 1882. To the Honorable, (he Common Council Gentlemen your ordinance relating to exoise has received my most careful consideration.

I am compelled to return It without my approval. Legislation touching that aubjeot is already eo complicated that I referred your resolutions at once to the Corporation Counsel for his opinion as to their legality. A copy of this opinion is hereto annexed. In his judgment, and I may add in my own, it is not within the power of the Common Council to make an excise law for Brooklyn independent of the State laws. In so far as the proposed ordluanco conflicts with exlatlng laws, as it does in some vital particulars, it la practically a new excise law.

While I agree with the Common Council that there are evils in the oxlsttug lawa whioh it la desirable to correct, I bo'leve evils are beyond our reach. Under this conviction I refrain from comments upon the ordinance, although upon the general subject of Excise I have views which at some proper time I shall be glad to express. Eespeotf uily, BETH Low, Mayor. The following is the OPINION OF THE OOBPOBATIOS OOTJNBEL referred to Offioe of the Attorney and Counsel, City Hall, Bbooklyn, April 27, 1882. Hon, Seth Low, Mayor DEAn Sib I am in receipt of a copy of the ordinances lately passed by the Common Counoil of this city "in relation to licenses to sell intoxicating liquors, And in accordance with your request have examined the various Btatutes affecting the aubjeot to ascertain what authority existed for their aetlon.

I am unable to find sufficient power vested In that honorable body under existing laws to pass these ordinances. The ordinances passed by a municipal corporation are striotly analogous to the bylaws of a private corporation, being in each case designed as rules of action concerning mutters subsidiary and local in IhSir character. Both corporations are limited In all their powers by the bounds set in their respective charters, by virtue of which only they exist. Uutll we shall be able to ravorea the theory that the stream oanuot riso higher than its souroe, we shall not be able to determine that the laws of a Common Council oau override or render nugatory the laws of the State, from which the Common Counoil Itself derives Its official entity. As the ordinances under consideration cannot ba mada effectual without working a repeal of existing Btatutes, it ia unnecessary to consider tha more general question of their power to enact excise laws for the city further, perhaps, tban to suggest that it is not enumerated among any of the speoiho powers conferred upon them by the fifteen sub divisions of eoction 13, of Title II.

of tho Charter of 1873. An examination of a few of these conflicting provisions must, I think, lead to the conclusion that tha Common Council have exoaedad their power. One of these appears in the vary first section of the proposed nrdinancos which adopts in the main tha language of section 4 of the Laws of 1870, but striking out the Important words, "who shall be approved by them," and substituting the words "applying to it for such license." Now the ExoIgo question li regulated generally throughout the Slate at present by the Laws of 18u7 and 1870, as variouBly amended. Under the terms of those acts, whether wisely or unwisely, a large discretion ie voated In local boards of etcine. The alteration suggested takes away this disoretlon end, if operative at all, oan only booomo to by being recognized as of greater authority than tha provisions uf the law referred to.

Section 7 of the proposed ordinances ia so manifestly In conflict with the superior law that I quote It in full. It is as follows "Sao. 7. Said board shall not revoke any license granted as aforesaid to persona applying as aforesaid until after they shall have reported any alleged violation of the Excise lawa, and this ordinanoe, to the Law Department of tha City of Brooklyn, with the evidence of such violation, and that the said Corporation Counsel shall have a warrant Issued for such persons violating said Excise law, and they shall be tried before any police or oivil Justice of the City of Brooklyn, and the Board of Excise Commlssiouara shall not have power to revoke any license until after conviction." Bead now the language of Seotion 8, Chapter 175, Laws of 1870, as amended by Section 4, Chapter 549 of the Lawa of 1878 "8eo. 8.

Any oouvlctlon'for tho violation of any provision of this sot or of tho 'acts hereby amended, by any person or persons lioeused, or at any place licensed as heroin provided, shall forfait and annul auch license. The Board of Excise in any oity, town or village may, at any time and upon tho complaint of any resident of said oity, town or village, summon before thorn any person or persons licensed as aforesaid; and if they shall booome satlsflod that any such person or personB has or have violated any of tho provisions of thia net or the aote hereby amended, they shall revoke, cancel and annul the license of snob person or persons, whioh they ara hereby empowered to do, and where necessary, to enter, upon the premises and take possession of and oancsl such license. Upon an inquiry said board or tbo party complained of may summon, and the said board may oompe), the attendance of witnesses before them end examine them under oath." The most oursory reading of these two sections must satisfy the reason that the cannot stand together, and uothing short of a change of our organic law will enable the former to repeal tho latter. There are other provisions equally in conflict with tha law which determino the inefficiency of these ordinances. But enough has already been stated to demonstrate that their approval would only add to the existing confusion of our ordinances and seriously embarrass the local authorities in the administration of our laws.

One of tho most pressing needs in the administration of effioient local government in our oity is to be found, in my Judgment, in tho thorough revision and codification of all oxlating ordinances, the rejection absolutely of those in conflict with the general laws, and the perfecting of a municipal code, which shall deal excln. slvely with matters of local regulation. Wo shall hardly advance in tbat direction by enacting ordinances against the statutes already in force. Very respectfully, John A. Taylou, Corporation Counsel.

VETOES BY THE MAYOB. The following were road and laid over under the rule: Mayoe'b Office, City Hall, 1 Beooklyn, April 29, 1882.

A decision of much interest to builders and holders of patonts has just beon rendered by Judgo Benedict, of the United States Circuit Court. Tho case wae that of Georgo Hayes against Johu Soton, the action being founded on five patents for various inventions employed in the construction of skylights, conservatories and other glazed structures. The plaintiff is a resident of New York, and Mr. Seton, the defendant, lives in this city and has been employed In moat of the public buildings hero In the construction of tho ventilating arrangements. The proceedings before Judgo Benedict have extended over a period of three years, Mr.

Frrllnghuyson, son of the Secretary of State, being counsel for Mr. Seton, The bill charged on Mr. Baton's part an Infringement of Mr. Hayes' patents. ThiB Mr.

Soton denied, in every Instance and contested tho validity of each of the reissues upon the gronnd that tho reissue 1b not for tho same invention as that described in ths original patent and the further ground that it was illegally Issued. Jndge Benodlot last week filed an elaborate opinion, pronouncing in favor of Mr. Seton on all tho points lnvolvod. Builders and others, who havo been using Mr. Baton's invention and who wore also threatened with similar suits by Mr.

Hayes have been much pleased over the decision. Mr. Seton's ventilating methods have been generally adopted. SOME POINTS DI THE CASE are appended The first patent sat forth in the bill Is reissue No. 8,697, dated February 23, 1873.

Tho original patent, No. 9,203, put in ovidenoo by Mr. Suton, tho defendant, was issued in 18C0. In it tha invenllon la stated to consist of a metallic ridge box, oapablo of being UBOd as a ventilator, so couBtruoted as to admit of an iiiRresa of pure nir, whioh, coming iu contact with tho impure air of tha building, is driven into an upper cavity, which being perforated gives tho egress, the whole arranged so that b11 leakaga is avoided. Judge Bouodict discusses at length the ventilating apparatus of Mr.

Soton, and pronounces Judgment iu bis favor, there being nothing in tha original patent upon which Mr. Hayes based his claim, ana the reissue is held to cover un invention different from that desoribod in tha original, and for that roason void. The opinion on tho other patonts and reissues lnvolvod is also in Mr. Setou's favor. Tha original patent (Mr.

Seton's), described a niotalllo bar or rafter In tho construction of glazed roofs, Its characteristics being a Bhort metal body, a stay plate, a hollow moulding the same being fitted together and arranged so as to form on tho upper Bide of tho rafter rabbits for the glasees to rost on, and on tha undor aide gutters to catch the drip. Mr. Seton was tho first to employ theso characteristics of tho rafter and, therefore, olaims to have mvonted a rafter which is new in onn rfpd useful in result, Ttore aro three claims in the original patent First, the fno tftliio bar or rafter; second, the combination of tha cap plate with tho hollow metal bar or rafter third, the clip iu combination with tho crosa gutters. "It will be perceived," Judge Benedict says, "fi om the description that tho aubject matter of the claim is a rafter described in ths original patent In this that it has fid stay plato. This stay plate is in tho original described OS one of the oharacteriatlo and essential featuroa of tho plaintiff's iuvontion.

Its omission from the rafter described in tha third claim of the reissue affects a Bubatautlal change In tha combination and therefore Is fatal to the claim. The claim as mada Is for a different invention from that described In tha original patent and for that reason muBt be held void." The fourth claim, covering a rafter differing from tho rafter described iu the original, is also pronounced illegal for the same reason and the remaining olaimB alleged to havo been infringed in every instance and Intended to enlarge the soopo of tho patent, "Aud while it may be true," say Judge Benedict, in regard to some of them that the subject matter of tho olaim Is described or suggested in the original patent, it is evident on the face of tha patent that there was no intention to assort that any of ihesa matters formed part of the patentee's invention, and no intention ou the part of the patentoa TO CLAIM ANY EXCLUSIVE LIGHT THEREIN. Any person reading the original patent would be justified in the conclusion that no exoluslve right to tbeia matters waa claimed by the patentee. Such being the oaso, according to the decision of the Supremo Court of the United States in Miller Co. versus Tho Bridgeport Brass Company, it 1b the duty of the court to declare that any right which the patentee may havo had to secure these matters by letters patent has bean lost by delaying to assert such right for over niho yoars from the data of the original patent." The other claims are also pronouncad void, and on every point a doolsioa was rendered iu favor of Mr.
