REPORTED RAILROAD FRAUDS. Supervisor
Butcher, OF New York, reports to the revenue
department that an investigation OF the Ne"
York and Flushing, Flushing aud North Shore
and Flushing and North Side railroads, located
in the First district Of New York, shows that
they have not made proper returns OF dividends,
interest and undistributed profits made in Feb
ruary and August Of 1869. Other revenue
officers have examined the affairs Of the Brook
lyn City railroad, 10 the Third district OF New
York, and found that it had omitted to return
interest on bonds due August, 1868, and Feb
ruary and August, 1869. Also, that they had
made erroneous returns for undistribrted pro-,
fits. The accounts of the Coney Island and
Brooklyn City Railroad Company, in the Sec
ond district of New York, showed erroneous
returns OF small amounts. Commissioner DO
leno has directed the assessors to assess the
taxes, penalties and fines, and the collectors to
insist upon their immediate payment These
steps are the iniatory ones OF 4 regular crusade
bv revenue officers against railroad companies.
II is understood that special officers will be de-
failed TO examine the accounts Of the large
roads such as the Baltimore and Ohio and

On receipt of this complaint at his office, DIR.
Harris instructed Inspector Ingraham and
plumber to make an examination. The inspec-
tor on the oath visited the place, and reports:--
Part OF said premises are used as theatre part as
drug store, and other parts a Russian bath es-
tablishment. On the third story there is large
third who had just got out. The tank is supplied
with water in the following manner:-Under the
theatre there are two pumps-one to pump the Gro
ton water direct from the main in the street to the
bathtub, the other from of the two tanks in the
yard, which are arranged as follows:-One of
the tanks is placed above the other, the
water from the Croton main is pumped
into the bathing tub, which has an overflow
at the top, and a waste-pipe at the bottom. The
overflow and waste-pipe are connected TO the upper
tank in the yard, and so arranged that when the
bath overows or the plug is drawn from the bottom,
the refuse or waste water flows into and fills the
upper tank in the yard, to the bottom OF which
there are attached pipe, ball and ball faucet that
fills the lower one from the upper one From the
lower one there is pipe connected to one of the
pumps, also a pipe from the pump to the bathing
tub to supply It from the tank when required The
upper tank has an overfow-pipe connected to the
street arranged that all waste rrefuse water
from the bath is discharged into and must pass
through the overflow before 1t goes to the sewer.
Therefore, If any chemicals or medicines are used
in the process OF the Russian bathing which are
heavier than water they must fall to the bottom
and pass through the pipe and faucet into the lower
tank warm whence the water is pumped to the bath
ing tub. AS to the effect Of this on the human sys-
tenn most respectfully refer it to the medical de-
partment. JAMES INGRAHAM,
Assistant Sanitary Inspector.
The subject will be referred to the Board of
Health for its action.

Miss Alice DunninR Charges MIR. LinRard with
Ill lTreatment-A Warrant of Arrest Issued.

Miss Alice DunninR Charges MIR. LinRard with
Ill TreRtment-A Warrant of Arrest Issued.
Quite an excitementwas created in the Jeffer-
son Market Police Court yesterday, by the
appearance in the role of complainant of Miss
Alice Dunning, the burlesque actress, who has
become favorably known to the American pub
lie by her connection with the Lingard
troupe of burlesquers and comic singers.
The fair complainant on her entry into court,
seated herself next burly representative of the
Metropolitan Police, and from the inquiring
looks she cast around the court, it was evident
that there was something weighty on her mind.
She passed her gloved hand across her brow
the form of Michael Rooney, drunk and incapa-
BILE, was moved down stairs for the one hundred
and fftieth time and turning to Mr.. Adolph
Sleicher, the court interpreter, inquired could
she see the Judge.
Certainly, Miss" replied the polite officer,
twill you step this wayif you please?"
So saying, he led her through the gate of sor
rows, or, plainly speaking, the iron railing in
the courtroom, and, calling the attention of
Justice Dodge to the matter, left her at the
Judges desk.
whats the matter, Miss ?" said the Judge.
II came here to have my husband arrested,
sir, was the reply.
''On what charge, madam"
'He called me vile names, abused me, and
threatened to blow my brains out with pistol"
'Oh, he threatened to shoot you; what's his
name?"
''He is known as William Horace Lingard, sir,
but his real name is William Needham."
Here" cried Justice Dodge, turning to one
of the clerks, ''make out an application for
warrant in this lady's case. Pass that way,
madam
The clerk selected his best quill pen and en-
deavored to calm the agitated feelings of the
fair complainant, who gave her name as Alice
Neeaham, the defendants name as William
Needham, residence as Eighth avenue, corner of
Twenty-fourth street, and complained that the
defendant had called her a dirty strumpet,
threatened to blow her brains out with a pistol
and had habitually abused i'll used and i'll treated
her for some time past, wherefore she prayed
that he might be apprehended and dealt with
according to law.
'Sign your name here, please" said the clerk,
and the complainant affixed her signature, ,swore
to the complaint, and on being informed that
warrant would be issued and Mr.. Lingard ar
rested, left the court in triumph The warrant
was then placed in the hands of a court officer
for service.-N. Y World of to-day.

HARD TO KILL.

Knife Plunged to the Hit Through a Mans
TempIe-It axes the Full Strength of Five
Men TO Extract it-He Laughs and Jokes
Under the Operation.
row and remarkable case of stabbing took
place on Christmas at o'clock in the evening"
on Broadway, near Eighth street. in front of
Bloch's secondhand store. Jerry Horgan was
found living there, with knife buried to the hit
in his left temple. He was unable to speak, and
was thought to be dying. Restoratives revived
him, and he was taken to the Cincinnati Hospi-
tai. Here he was unusually facetious in his talk.
doctor" he said, 81 guess I'm dead man."
you're worth two dead men" replied the
doctor.
big sinner"
While the surgeons were preparing to extract
the knife he kept opening and shutting the part
which stuck out Of his head. 81 just want to
see how 1t feels. 1t don't hurt bit but it seems
like had two heads Well, an Irishman is hard
to kill We're tough set. Life sticks to us
mighty close"
When the surgeons got ready for work, and
found il impossible to extract the blade by
hand, they laid the man on a couch upon the
floor, and with the left side of his head upper
most. Threem men with might and main held his
head down. The engineer brought his pipe
tongs in to grasp the hilt of the knife. This
gave a sort of augur handle for the surgeon and
engineer to pull by. All things ready, the sur
geon and engineer took hold each with both
hands, and tugging steadily with all their power,
down, the knife came out with jerk, thanks to
a rivet of good steel. Horgan bore it without
linching, eXclaiming when the feat was accom-
plished, ''Now my two heads have come to-
gether and it feels good"
The weapon was common two-bladed pocket
knife the blade used well worn. 1t penetrated
two and half inches The optic nerve is not
injured. 1t is thought that Horgan is in ne
danger; that, on the contrary, he will recover
without difficulty.
How the affair took place, why and who
drove that knife through Horgans skull, is a
secret locked in his chest, and he refuses to sur
render the keys. This much he reveals;-He
was drinking and carousing all Christmas with
party. In the evening the party were in a
forensic mood. Wrath mingled in the discus
sion. The logic of cold steel and mighty muscle
cut short the debate, closed il, and broke up the
assembly.
Jerry's boarding place is with Mrs. Corcoran,
on Elm, between Eighth and Ninth streets
Officers McFarlane, Wharton, and McDermott
found Horgan, and had taken him TO the hospi-
tai. Doctors Richie and Vinnedge officiated in
extracting the knife and dressing the wound.--
