The Boston Globe gives an account of the arrest of a party of eleven swindlers In that city. It seems that they used soma almost valueless Suffolk County land to help along thoir schemes and ot this feature of the fleecing business tho Boston paper says, after giving dotalls of tho arrest of George C.

Hallock, the chief of the bureau: Tho swindling operations were varied. Ono waB with Long Island waste lands, bo called, which have In times past, moro particularly, proved the fruitful means for Just such scoundrels to swindle unsuspoctlng ana credulous buyers aua investors. Borrowing money on theso lands was favorite swludle. This business has not been "worked" to so great an ox ton within the past few years as for merly. From lbbi to about 1880 it was a thriving trado.

Suffolk County afforded a good field for such operations, because of tho largo quantity ot unde veloped land that could be purchased for a mere song. Hallock "took iu" a mau named Holton liko this: Hallock wantod a partner in a profitable newspaper venture: ho had not the time to give to tho business.

Then Robort Owens was "taken in" as partner In tho business of publishing a newspaper and boarding house directory.

He paid $800 to Hallock, and received a mortgage ou the same lands in O.uogue Purchase. Another man named Mitchell barely escaped a similar fate. LONG ISLAND BAPTISTS. Tho Summer Meeting of the Association. Held Yesterday.

The lot had boon paid for and $1,500 had been raised toward tho building, of the church. It was proposed to oroct an edifice that would cost $5,000. The delegates wero unanimous that tho balance, $3,500 should bo raised in Brooklyn.

Mr. Wostorvelt, treasurer of tho association, said that last yoar ho had paid tho Islaud mission aries their salarlo3 out of his own pocket and nono of it bad boon returnod to him. Tho Juno salaries woro now duo and tho.ro was no money to pay them with.

For thirteen years it was closed, and for a time was used as a playhouso and dancing hall, and tho young men of the place thought they could still do as thoy pleased ia tho building, and they tried it the first nlht ho preached. Ho made up his mind that thore should be one Baptist mlnistor who should be respootod, and he had several of the meeting disturbers arrested. Thoy woro flnod from $10 to $15 each, and he has had no trouble in that quarter sinco. The speaker assorted that the churoh was oppressed by all the other clnirchos in the placo and it was a hard strugglo for It to live. There was a dobt of $100 for fuel, for which a suit was threatened.

and a mortgage upon the property, which Is threatened to be foreclosed. The membership of the church was so small that ho would not tell it Tho peoplo of Sag Harbor were not churoh goors, and the Bethel Baptist Church received but little sympathy or aid from thorn. Bishop Hagar reported progress tn the church at Blue Point, which only recontly was nearly wrooked by Rev. Mr. Harrington.

The meetings wero now well attended, as were also tho meetings held Sunday afternoons at Patchogue, tho lntter ohuroh having twonty flyo members. Tho churches at Rockville Centor and Flatbush were reported as in good condition. Tho meeting closed on Tuosday evening with a Bormon by the Rev. J. Whltehurst, of East Now York.

Tho delogates to the meeting were served with re freshments in the church room under the hall after both tho morning and afternoon meetings by the ladies oonnoctod with the Heinpstoad church. Rev.

From the New York Tribune. Chief Engineer Nevins has escaped on a technicality. Tho evidence produced did not sustain the charge made in the indictment and no other result than acquittal was possible. Tho principal reliance of the prosecution wat upon the witness Pope who, for some reason, testified with much less directness and point than whon before the Committee and the Grand Jury. In short, the prosecution broke down entirely.

District Attorney Rldgway promised In court that he would take tho case again boforo the Grand Jury, but after the acquittal he declared that he could do nothing more. A charge of grand larceny may not be Justified, but tho accused man has by no means cleared himself In tho eyes of the community. Mr. Novins himself ought not to be sntlsflod with a verdict of 11 not proven. TWBEDI8U IN BBOOKLVK.

IFrom the New York World. The acquittal of Chiel Nevins yestorday by direction of the Court, on the ground that no evidence was produced to sustain the indictment, will not occasion surprise, but It will confirm tbo conviction that Brooklyn Is as completely and hODOlossly under ring rule as New York was In tho p'almlost days of Tweed, Connolly and Swoeny. ft Is not worth whllo to consider bow the powor of tho ring was brought to bear to hold Nevlas harmless; whether the witness who testified beforo the Senate Committee and the Grand Jury was supplied with a less actlvo memory at tho trial; whether the Indictment was purposely mado a misfit with the evidence or whother tho law was strangely strained by the Court. It Is certain tbat Novius was charged before the committee with having obtained an amount of money from Mr. Popo on tho pretense tbat it was needed to secure the franchise of tho Eloctric Light Company from tho Board of Alder men; that this was alleged to havo been a talse pretense, aud that Novins had not returnod nor accounted for the monov.

The Penal Code of tho Stato makes Just such an offense larceny. Before the adoption of tho Code It was "obtaining money undor false protonses." Tho provision of tho Codo Is that a porson who, with the luioni to aepnvo or derrauu tno true owner oi ms proporty, obtains from such owner pos30ssloti, by color or aid of fraudulent or also representation or pretense, of any monoy, otc, "steals such proporty aud Is guilty larceny." Wo boliove that tho Court ought to havo loft mo cose to tne jury on the sworn ovluouce oi Mr. Popo that a representation alleged to bo falso and not shown to bo truo was made to him In order to induce him to Elve the defendant tho monoy. Wo do not bellovo that, under tho widest Interpretation of such ovldenco as was produced, the Court was Justlilod iu saying: "This is a oaso of ono partner getting a cortain amount of monoy from another partnor for tho purpose of carrying on tho business of tho partnership." We can find nothing In the testimony to warrant that broad statement. But whothor tho associate or the "ring" socurod an acquittal by tho grace of deficiency in memory, blundering In in diotment, of liberal construction on the part of the Court, it Is quite certain that Brooklyn politics and Brooklyn Justice are under tho supreme law and control of a Twood Ring on a amall, but a vory bold and ambitious, scale.

THE BROOKLYN PAKOE. From the Now York Tlraos. The Indictment and trial of Chief Engineer Novins, of tho Brooklyn Fire Department, on a charge of grand larceny seems to have served tho purpose Intended. It was basod on the assumption that tno money raisea ny moving was not used to Driue tho Board of Aldermen to grant the franchiso to the Citizens' Electric Light Company, and it was therefore calculated to clear him and others connocted with tho company from tho chnrgo of bribery. The ovidouco was ridiculously insufficient to sustain the charge of grand larcony and Judge Moore felt compelled to direot a vordlct of acquittal.

Thus Nevins Is cleared of that accusatlou and is likely to be left to pocket tho profits of his transaction without being troubled with further legal procoodiugs. He appears simply as a "striker" of his associates In tho electric lighting scheme for his own individual profit, having simply demanded and obtained tho money without tho fnlso representations charged In the Indict. mont. Mr. Henry W.

Pope, of the firm of Pope, Sewall which was practically the Citizens' Eloctrlo Light Company, testified before the Bacon Investigating Committee that Nevins represented to him that It was necessary to raise $4,250 to get the franchise from the Board of Aldermen, saying that tbo Municipal Company was to contribute a liko amount for a similar purpose The sum of $8,825 was paid over to Nevins by Pope in tour ohecks and a note, and ho was hlmsolt to furnish tho balance. If the money was used for the purpose roproaented It was a case of bribery. Tho indictment against Nevins was basod upon this tostlraony, but with it waB Joined an allegation that tho money was never used for the purpose for which it was ostensibly raised, but was appropriated by Nevins to his own uso. This cleared all concerned of the olinrge of bribery, but It seemed to make out a case of obtaining money by false representations, whioh under the Penal Codo is larceny. On tho trial Mr.

Pope'B testimony waB loss spoclfio than before tho Investigating Committee, aud It fell short of sustaining the ehargo in the indictment. Ho said that Novins had represented that It would bo to the advantngo of the company to take him in, and ho had boon takon in. Ho bad thon said that Iu order to got the ranchiBB It would bo nocossary for the two companies to raiso $10,000. Ho refused to any how it was to be used. He afterward came down to $8,500, one half of which was to bo contributed by Mr.

Pope'B company. Nothing was then said ol the uso to whioh the money was to be put. All that Popo would testify to on tho trial was that Nevins bod said that it was necessary to ralso tho money and tnat it was raised and pam over to mm. witn no better evidence than this, of course the charco of obtaining It on a false representation that it was to be used to bribe the Aldermen leu to tno ground, and the whole proceeding was reduced to a Judicial farce Intended to let Nevins and his associates out of the clutches of the law. Tho position In which tho Chiof of the Brooklyn Fire Dopartmont Is loft is that of a publio officer who has shamefully abused his power for personal profit, betraying the publio trust confided to him.

For that he ought to be removed from ofilco and subjected to whatever penalty the law provides. If any thore bo. He used his control of the Flro De partment and the power it gave htm over the stringing of olectrlo wiros in Brooklyn to compel two companies that proposed to furnish electric light in that city to toko him In "on the ground Door in order that they might obtain the privileges they desired. Then, according to the Pope testimony, ho struck those companies for a payment In monoy of $8,500, which he appropriated to his own uso, evidently In some way convoying tho impression that It was to do used to ontain irnncnisos irom me Board of Aldermon. This is tho kind of official that has long boon powerful in Brooklyn politics and has romalned for yoars virtually in control of ono of Its most Important municipal departments.

It is a pertinent question now what Brooklyn intends to do about it. It Is time for something more serious than tho farce which ended In the Court of Sessions yestorday. ADJOURNED UNTIL TUB FALL. Cloving Meeting: ot tho M. Taber nacle Yuuns People's Axsoclation.

AFTER pAmWAWSaftBAWWk re8fii aasoia teaena. rearune tb esEueits me aw that it realizes the imminence of peril to life with just as much ability to at onyBub senuent opportunity. So did this man. He learned the lesson of life saving very easily and very well and, without previous experience, begon making for himself a record tmequaled by professional or hired life savers.

Perhaps this propensity, so called, was not learned for the first time in life, but was inscribed on the tablets of the marfs mamory and born with his mind. It was to Hussey not learning but remi niscence. Other men experience equal aptitude in other forms of mental activity. The same, suggestion applies to them. It is the existence in thehuman mind of an instinct similar totha which teaches the bird to build its nest of wonderfully intricate design without instruc tion or experience.

It is that mysterious faculty which centuries ago was detected by the acute observers of Asiatio philosophy and which formed the groundwork of the Buddhist belief in the transmigration of souls. Of the murderer of Captain Hussey the less said the better. He has dishonored the police force, ruined himself and robbed society of an unique, picturesque and popular oharaoter, for Captain Hussey was all those as well as indomitable in spirit. One conclusion is irresistible. Policemen should not be allowed to carry firearms when off duty.

At snoh times oil the restraints of discipline are thrown aside and as they are mostly men of very ordinary moral courage, and because they are accustomed to flourish their revolvers with impunity, it is natural for them to shoot persons and things when in toxicated. Permission to carry pistols might also be made the reward of intelligent service. It is seldom that these weapons must be used in broad daylight on the spur of the moment, and yet more rarely is it that when used the bullet doeB not do moro harm than good. To this false and fatal policy, unfortunate Captain Hussey is the latest, but probably will not be tho last victim. Second Avsivtaut Janitor of the Court House.

Supervisor at Large Quintard did right in vetoing the resolution creating a new office, that of Second Assistant Janitor of the Court House, and naming a person to fill it at a salary of $1,000. The force is now amply adequate to the caro of this public building. As the veto shows the season which the Supervisors chose for treating themselves to this bit of patronage is just the time when tho able bodied officers about the Court House have nothing to do. Some of them for nearly six months in the year do not do a stroke of work for the County ex cept the monthly stroke of the pen in signing the pay roll." it is mtimaiea that an effort will be made to pass the resolution over the veto. Mayor Whitney will not again vote for it.

He now regrets that through a misconception he helped it through the first time. Other members of the Board who thoughtlessly made a mistake in the matter will correct it. Those Supervisors who support the job once more will invite suspicion, and they should ask themselves whether they are not already oarrying as much of this as they can carry with oomfort. The Jubilee Celebration. Tho plaudits which rang out in the streets of London yesterday were not so much for the Queen as for the woman, and the pageant which marked the end of fifty years' rule was more of a tribute to the domestic virtues of the sovereign than a symbol of political and national significance.

Undoubtedly it was one of the greatest ceremonials of modern times, not only in that it drew together a larger assemblage of people than England has yet wit nessed, but in the pomp and splendor which characterized the day. The conveniences of modern travel made it possible for (in infinito ly greater number to bo present than at any other event of approaching historical importance, and, with tho exception of a few acci dents on the streets, nothing occurred in the British capital to interfere with the complete success of the celebration. In other countries, among Englishmen and the descendants of Englishmen especially, there was appropriate observance, and, with the exception of some few hostile demonstrations, there was general disposition on the part of the people to rejoice with the nation, which foremost in the history of civilization, stands as a parent to many of the moro advanced in stitutions of the world. In many of the large cities here meetings were held expressive of the sentiment that tho life of the sovereign might long be spared, and that the closing years of her reign would be characterized by an increasing devotion and loyalty on the part of her subjects. In New York speeches were made by Mayor Hewitt and ex Mayor Low, and in Washington the representatives of all the foreign governments joined with tho British Minister in fitting commemoration.

Tho one unpleasant inci dent accompanying the celebration in the United States was the rioting in Boston, where an effort was made to break up a gathering which was peacefully holding a celebration in Faneuil Hall. If there is ono city in tho country where liberty of speech would be supposed to demand the most generous encouragement it is the capital of the old Bay State, and if thore is any public meeting place in any city of the country whoro Buch encouragement should be conspicuously manifest, it is in the historic hall of Boston, where the admirers of Victoria gathered together yesterday. Every effort was made to induce tho Aldermen of Boston to rescind their vote permitting the use of the hall for the purpose desired, but with commendable determination tho City Fathers refused to accode. The spectacle of a few Englishmen gathered together in peaceful rejoicing so inflamed a portion of the population of the city that tho hall was stoned, rioting became general and many people wero injured. Perhaps it would bo unfair to ascribe this unruly demonstration entirely to those who have soon fit to moke the Jubilee celebration serve as opportunity for bringing afresh to public attention the wrongs which Ireland has sustained during the past half century, but the faot that vice president MoKenna of the National League sont a dispatch to editor O'Brien saying that publio commemoration would not be permitted in Boston, indicates that the disturbance was in great measure due to instigation from this source.

That it received the sanction of the more ntolligent members of the Nationalist party in Boston is hardly oredible, for hese gentlemen must have realized that thoy would be injuring rather than aiding their cause by resort to tactics which are in violation of the law and in antagonism to all spirit of fair play whioh ought to prevail between man and man. It certainly was no more pronounced exhibition of narrow prejudice and unmanly behavior for a Toronto mob to attack Mr. O'Brien, when exercising the right of free spoooh in Canada, than it was for the Boston residents to attack the Englishmen in Faneuil Hall and threaten to burn the structure. If anything, it was worse, for the one event was in a oity noted for its bigotry, the other was in a capital distinguished for liberality and comprehensiveness of view on the part of its people. There is but one course for people in this country to pursue who are displeased with publio demonstrations of any kind, and that is to keep out of their way.

They are under no obligation to attend, and in return, they have a right to expect that other parties eqnally displeased, perhaps, will pursue a similar course in relation to the particular happenings which do not appeal to their liking. Men who show no regard for the fullest liberty of speech are enemies of our institutions, and it will be occasion for regret among all who have the cause of Ireland at heart that their fellow sympathizers in Boston should have been in any way party to a disturbance, which will remain as a blot on the history of the eity. It would indeed be a doubly glorious jubilee if it gave evidence of a desire on the part of the British Government to redress the wrongs of tho Irish sufferers, but this is not yet. Apart, however, from tho impetuosity of thought and tempest of emotion which a recollection of the condition of Ireland serves to prompt, there will, we are sure, be no grudging on the part of the American people of the honors and kind wishes whioh have been bo bountifully showered as tributes to the many womanly virtues of tho British Sovereign.

To Escort the Army of the Potomac at Its Annual Reunion The Parade To day. Special to the Eagle. Saratoga, N. Juno 92.

Tbreo hundred and twenty men, all told, wearing the uniform of tho Fourteenth Regiment reached Weehawken at 3:25 o'clock yesterday afternoon on the ferryboat Montlcollo, hot and tired from their march from the armory to South Ferry. They were all In good spirits, howovor; nor did thoy Hag during the entlro trip. Everyone was determined to make tho most fun out of everything, and most royally tld they keep thoir resolve. Scarcely had the boys secured their seats and made themselves comfortable when tho fun began. Practical Jokes without number were played, but tho men behaved la an oxemplary manner.

Among the civilians who accompanied the regiment as Its guests wero Lnke R. Salt, Major Morris B. Farr, William E. MaMasters, ex Alderman H. O.

Jones, Dr. C. U. Lit tle, Captain P. Ilalstead, formerly of General Ward's staff; Captain Georgo Trowbridge, Captain Morrison, Fred Kreuser and James West, war veterans of the Fourteenth.

Most of tho boys wore soon engaged in games of cards and other pas tlmos, whioh kopt many from skylarking, so that, comparatively speaking, the trip was a quiet ono, The train was drawn by engine 85 driven by En gineer Foley, the conduotor being Irvln Wilson. Tho latter Bald that he never had charge of a more orderly set of men, and Is delighted at the prospect of takipg them baok to night. He and his crow took tho best of care of tho boys and received a unanimous vote of thanks for tholr courtosy. The train made oxosllont time, tho run between Woe hawken and Albany occupying but a few minutes over four hours, being much faster than the time made by tho flyer. The first stop was made at Cornwall.

The next being at Kingston, where the boys attacked and carried tho lunch counter, though several acknowledged that thoy had been captured by tho fair wnitrossos. As soon as they had been settled in the cars again the spirits of many, which had been raised during tho ten minutes' over and fun reigned again. By the time Coeymans station wa3 renchod tho boys were ready for another run, and promptly deserted the cars as soon as tho latter came to a standstilL They woro disappointed, howover, and had a lively ecramblo for tho train, which moved off after a five mlnutoB' rest. When Albany was roached the train was run on the tracks of the Delaware and Hudson line, and a stop of ten min utes was made. During this time tho train was boarded by Adju tant Gonoral Porter, Colonel McKuen, Assistant Adjutant General Schnffer, Inspector Gonoral and General Varlan, Chief of Ordnanto.

They congratulated Colonel Mlcholl on tho oxcellent appearance of his command, and thon af tor exchanging further courtosles left tho train, which moved off. Before this, however, when Catsfclll was reached, rain foil In torrents and necessitated tho closing of the car windows, which made It excosslvoly hot In tho cars and put a damper on tho boys' spirits. Everything went smoothly and good time was made until Geyser Springs was reached. Here two cars of a freight train had boon wrecked several hours before and tho track was not cleared for an hour and a half. The boys spent this time In growl ing, fuol being addod by tho faot that a heavy shower that lasted nearly an hour fell.

Tho fact that tho Sixty ninth Regiment, whioh hnd started from New York at 2:30 o'clock, had boon distaucod by an hour and ouly came off to find tho road block. ed and tho Fourteenth in advance, was sufficient, however, to ralso the spirits of all the men soveral points. As soon as the track had beon cloarod of the wreck and six trains between it and the depot, that bearing tho Fighting Fourtoenth moved to tho station. Here the regiment was received by the Twenty second Separate Company, of this city. Tho line was promptly formed and marched to tho Kensing ton Hotol, kopt by ox Aldorman Paul Gronlng, of Brooklyn, by way of Division streot to Broadway to Regent street.

The public and many of the private houses wero beautifully decorated and colored lights fired by the citizens took tho place of gas and electricity. All along the routo orowds were gathered and the boys wore given a right royal welcome. Among tho spectators were Gonoral Horatio O. King, ox United States Marshal Tato and Stato Sen ator Michael Murphy, of New York. Whon tho boys reached the hotel thoy wero reviewed by Gonoral James McLeor, who was accompanied by his statr.

They had arrived earlier In tho day and had stop pod in Albany to pay their rospoots to the commander in chief, Governor Hill, who will reach this city In timo for the parade, which in accordance with or dors will take place at 3 o'clock this aftomoon. Tho interests of tho command had been ably taken caro of by Captain Ramos Cordova, of Company who had been sent in advance. Fow of the boya slopt last night, the Inevitable fow who enjoy thoir fun keeping them from doing bo. Tho command will havo nothing to do until tho parade this afternoon. The authorities aro having the stroots cleanod and the boya will escape the mud made by tho rain that has fallen hero almost constantly for tho Inst thirty six hours.

Revielle was sounded at 8 o'clock this A. when evory man of tho "Fighting Fourteonth" answered to tho call. They had had very little sleep, owing to a number of the Sixty ninth Regiment, who visited during the early hours of tho morning, but they answered tho roll call and not a man was missing when the colonel gave his ordors in regard to tho parade of the afternoon. The line will bo formed at 3 o'clock and march through tho principal streets of the town. The Fourteenth hail the second place of honor by roason of their distinguished service In tho late war.

General McLoer and his staff wore warmly received by the Commander in Chief Governor HIU at tho Kensington. A few minutes before tho parade the stroots wore exceedingly muddy, but tho hoys who had carried tho Hag tbrougb alarms of shot and shell cared nothing for this, but carried the old colors as thoir fathers had done. The parade was reviewed by tho Governor and stafi, General McLoor and his staff and soveral notables of Brooklyn, and all expressed themselves as highly pleased with tho show modo by the Brooklyn contingent After the parade the boys returned to the Kensington and rested soveral hours. Evory man in tho command oxprosaod himself as highly ploasod with the trip. Tho Fighting Fourteenth, as by Its record, won honors wherovor thoy bavo oppeared, and Saratoga Is not an exception.

The boys will leave hero about midnight and will arrive In Brooklyn between 0 and 7 o'clock to morrow morning. JUBILEE SERVICES. Tbo Anniversary ol Queen Victoria's Coronation Observed in Brooklyn.

A paragraph which appeared in yesterday's Eaglb In roforonco to a presentation to bo mado by Fulton Council, Royal Arcanum, at tho mooting in Criterion Hall to morrow night, was an error, Tho writer stated that the presentation had been mado on Monday evening. It was not, but will bo at tho regular Thursday evening session. 0YEBC0M8 TaB II BAT, Willis, 45 yaara, of they are worth reviving now: I had invest ed our friends' money and our own money; some who were in this had their last dollar in the enterprise we were shut down we either had to pay on, or we had to.

Iobo now, if wo had not paid, other people would have cotton tho franchise; I know that from the faot that it was a matter of common rumor at the time; that other parties had been before the authorities of Brooklyn for eighteen months, unable to seoure a franchise we went in with no inten tion of getting a franchise our intention was simply to supply the people who had con tracted with us for the year there was no reason under heaven why that should not have been done that did not interfere with any lines or tho rights of anybody we had the consent of the property owners over whoso property we run at that time we were simply shut down on, and I claim it was extortion and not bribery." Tbo Parle Com mission on and Their Delinquents. Tho only redeeming feature of the Pork situation is that the Commissioners have had tho grace to stop wrangling long enough to dismiss their untrustworthy subordinates, although by that act they admit in offect that they ought to be dismissed themselves, lie solved, that the superintendent, the boss car pentor, the meteorologist and tho boss painter be discharged "for delinquency and wrong doing." This action was taken the other day and, serious as were the implied charges, it does not appear that any defense to them was attempted. It is not worth while to afreet any surprise at what has happened. It was to bo expected that, unless the persons holding places in the Park Department were extremely good men, they would improve the oxcellent opportunity offered for doing that of which they are no cusod. If anywhere it could be tuken for granted that "delinquency and wrong doing" would thrive it is in tho soil of our pleasure grounds and in theatmosphero of the Board's meeting room.

The Commissioners are ap pointed to manage an importaut public inter est and to control officers, agents and work men connected with it. Their management has been a laughing stock, for the suffi cient reason that they have not known how to control themselves, to say nothing of anybody else. It is doubtful whether such a body as this Park Commission ever was known outside of the domain of the Grand Duchess of Ger olstein. If tho Mayor had carefully sifted the city to find men who wore at swords' points, who had been active enemies all their lives, who had inherited a vendetta, who were prosecuting as a religious duty traditional hostilities, ho could hardly have brought together a less harmonious company. Of course his aim was the opposite of this.

He thought he had made a selection of citizens who would cordially unite to do all in their power for the service. There is no reason for supposing that these men were hostile ono toward tho other before they became Commissioners. There is no proof that they made faces at each other when they met in the streets. But no sooner did they meet in the Park Board than they began to make faces at each other. Sinco that time there has boon continuous quarel mg and tho Commissioners havo illustrated the vices of envy, malice and all unoharitablo ness in almost incredible ways.

Of course all this implied and promoted a childish incompetence for their official duties. In tho circumstances it was impossible for the affairs of the department to be efficiently administered. With things going at loose ends under a system of mismanagement or no management, it is not remarkable that there have been "delinquency and wrongdoing." Tho Commissioners have done well to dismiss the delinquents and wrong doers, but they might have prevented the offenses. If now they should pass a resolution disbanding themselves for incompetence and neglect public opinion would not veto it. Jay Gould at Mount Vernon.

The impression that Mr. Jay Gould is simply a Wall street shark," a financial Grad grind, a man of tho wealth of Masconas without the civic pride of the counselor of Ccesar, or any of tho enlightoned liberality of the patron of Horace, is a common and false impression. There are fewer now who hold it than there were five years ago, and if he lives a quarter of a century longer there will bo none who hold it. It has been said by one of the wisest of men that a good husband and father gives assurance of a good citizen. Judged by this standard Now York ought to bo proud of her great millionaire, but she is not, largely because the misrepresentations of tho press and the man's aversion to acts of ostentatious benevolence have prevented her from getting a true knowledge of him.

Tho world eagerly reads the bulletins of his brilliant strokes on tho money market and is familiar with the achievements of his genius in the public fields of its employment, but of tho deeds which illustrate his kindness of heart, his patriotism, sympathy and charity, it knows comparatively little. Yet an act of the latter kind has just eluded his precautions to conceal it. During his visit to Mount Vernon a week or ten days ago it occurred to him that a pieco of land coterminus with tho northern boundary of the Washington plot should be secured against tho contingency of its occupation for any purpose that would be out of keeping with the sacred character of the neighborhood. Ho directod an agent to make inquiry of the owner to ascertain whether it could be purchased. The agent learned that tho land was in the market, although the price demanded far exceeded its real value.

Mr. Gould told him not to mind about tho terms, but to make immediate arrangements for the sale and transfer, and when the deed to the Mount Vernon Association was executed he would draw his check for all the money needed to complete the transaction. Tho Mount Vernon plot is thus enlarged by tho addition of a pieco of ground of the utmost importance to it, and tho patriotic but modest donor is more than half sorry that the world has found him out. Why Captain Hussey Was a Iffero. Captain Jack Hussey died yesterday in the Gouvernenr Hospital, Now York City, after lingering twenty days on the edge of life.

He was one of the few whose heroism relieves the. monotony of the physical feebleness and of the sordid spirit of the times. Whatever his hand found to do that he did with all his might. He was only a longshoreman, a picker up of odd jobs at loading and unloading vessels along the river front. He was uneducated and rough in manner, but ho hud the sense not to ape the ways of men in other walks of life.

Ho was bravo to a degree that in war would have brought him to either a speedy death or commanding position. His nature was one that courted danger, and because the man who woos danger nearly always wins death, he was killed. Captain Hussey had himself much to blame. In such a man it requires more courage to run away than to attack. By associating with a drunken ruffian, who had been placed on the police force by a Eepnblican politician, ho passed through greater peril than the water could present to him.

Hussey realized this, but could not tear himself away from tho environment of bar rooms. With every pota tion his sense of discretion became weaker. Many thousands of men not as brave as Hussey have experienced tho loathsome fascination of gas lit saloons, and have perhaps not sacrificed life, but only lost their health, their money, their self respect and tho respect of friends and family. Captain Hu6sey's fame as a life saver is novel. Few men have the qualifications and fewer still the opportunities to rob sudden death of.

its prey. In this man the impulse of rescue amountod to an instinct and this remark is not derogatory to the man by comparison with the brute. Had Hussey been possessed of a highly organized mind, he would novor have been the hero that he was. Ho would have calculated the chances of success on each of the occasions which mutely called for his daring, and delay would have been fatal aliko to the life of the rescued and to the success of the rescuer. By yielding to the instinct within him he rarely made a mistake or a failure.

So is it with some dogs, which leap without reflection into the water and by sheor precipitation accomplish miracles of intrepidity. Some analogy between the mental action of human beings and th instincts of brutes is here forcibly presented.

Novins demanded it. Pope paid it. It was demanded for a purpose and it was paid for a purpose. There is no doubt even pretended as to what purpose it was paid for the getting of the franchise. Popo's testimony before the Assembly Investigating Committee on that point (page 2, 146), was that tho thing Nevius told him he would have to use was "money;" that tho amount assessed on him and his associates was 4,250, like amount being levied on the Cooper end of the concern, making $8,500 for tise in getting tho franchise.

He further testified (pago "We wore simply sat down on I claim it was extortion not bribery." Ho was then asked (pago Give us your opinion in brief, who were the extortioners, if this was an extortion He answered, I think the politicians of Brooklyn I think it originated with Mr. Nevins that is not only my opinion but it is the opinion of my associates." Asked on the some page as to the money Mr. Pope answered: "He wanted it for his influence in getting the thing through. How he was to get it through I don't know. He said (pago 2,250) 'ask no The Eagle has procured and presents hereunder Pope's hitherto unpublished ovidence before the Grand Jury bearing on tho Bame on Liflrtf.

The next morning Pope resumed tho stand and "went all to pieces," as our readers know. He stammered and finally compromised on this Q.

Did Mr. Nevins ovor say to you that unless this sum of monoy General Tracy (interrupting) I object to that Mr.

Tho night before, General Tracy had been ferocious in his cross examination of Mr. Pope. Tho next morning, the witness having "weakened" so much that the Court directed an acquittal, the General employed terms which would make it difficult for a stranger to tell whether he was Nevins' counsel or Popo's. Speaking as if for both General Tracy said It Is duo to my client and It is duo to Mr. Popo to say that Mr.

Pope nevor made any complaint of poin defrauded of any money by Mr. Novins in any way. All tholr buainoss rolattons woro tormln otod aoveral years sinco, in good faith and good friendship, and wo havo tholr full and free release from nil business obligations an 1 affairs between these two gentlemen. Nothing of this kind was over hoard of until something rolatiug to it was brought out before a cortalu Investigating committee. General Tracy's client at tho time he said that had been acquitted.

Tho necessity for him to work his official conscience was at end. His personal conscience, to respect the dual division which tho practice of law calls for, did not require him to utter any 6uch misrepresentation as the foregoing. Long months before the "certain Investigating Committee" was appointed and before the first Grand Jury's presentment of Nevins, Messrs. Pope, Sowall Co. had been interviewed to tho extent of many columns in this paper and in other papers and had complained of the extortion practiced on them.

The Eagle feels authorized to believe that General Tracy was aware of that fact and was ready in his capacity as a Republican politician, not in his enpacity ns a retained counsel, to mako use of it. The EionB should also state that the firm of Pope, Sewall Co. at that timo were loth to be interviewed at first, for tho reason frankly statod by ono of their number "We want to get our money back. We've been robbed. If wo tell tho story it will only make them madder." Nevertheless, they, concluding that silence was not the way to get their money back, did interview at length, and afterward gave testimony of progressive strength before the Committee, before tho Grand Jury, before the Court (on Monday afternoon), until tho breakdown of Pope on Tuesday, resulting in Nevins enforced acquittal and followed by Tracy's "first class notice" of the not infallible Pope.
