New YORK, June 23.-Several large real es-
tate owners of this city have been holding pri-
yate meetings every evening this week, and with
the aid of an experienced bOokkeeper have been
analyzng the municipal accounts as published
during the last ten or twelve years. Next Mon
day they will report at the special meeting of
the political reform council.
In the Lanahan trial yesterday Mr.. Buckley
addressed the committee for three hours in de
Tense of DR.. Lanahan, denying that he ever had
access to the books which he needed TO prepare for
this trial of DR.. Lanahan All was at stake.
Judge Fancher began summing up for the
prosecution at the close of Mr.. Buckey's re-
marks. He was very severe upon the motives
of DR.. Lanahan in preferring charges against
the book concern, calling the whole affair the
rise, progress and downfall of the suspicious of
the assistant agent as to the book concern.
In the case in which DR.. Lanahan appeared
before the supreme court for mdnddnauS to
compel Dr. Carlton to allow him to examine
the books, Judge Barnard to-day in an elab-
crate opinion, denied the application, the prin-
cipal ground being that the doctor, before MAX
ing the charges, should have had the proofs in
his possession, and that the concern was not
bound to furnish evidence against ITSELF Judge
Barnard, in his opinion, says: DR.. Lanahan
claims that the power and authority of the as
sistant agent is equal to that Ofthe agent in all re-
spectS, and, on this ground alone he finally bases
lliS llShls 1utTG Is UOl, So lar us L can gather
from the papers before me, any foundation for
this extraordinary position; | say eXtraordi-
nary, because as the papers show, such claim has
never been made before. By common usage,
practice and understanding, the assistant agent
is subordinate to, and under the control and di-
rection of, the agent. If | had the least doubt
upon the question, should direct a writ to
issue, but | have none. The motion must be
denied with costs.

was absolutely necessary for the present and
future welfare of the Methodist book concern.

The Rock Island panic of Wednesday has al
ready caused twelve failures. Many denounced
woodward, the leading operator, in unmeasured
terms as the cause of all this difficulty. Others
consider that he has been made a victim.
Prominent operators declared that Woodward
acted criminally, and that while he was deliv-
erng all the stock he had sold, he had refused
to receive any of the stock he had bought.
This party declared that Woodward made over
half million dollars on Wednesday. He has
offered to settle some of his contracts at fifty
per cent cash, or in full with his notes at twelve
months. The creditors OF one of the suspended
firms, believing that there was a retention of
assets which should have been applied to the
payment of their claims, has sued out an in
junction against the removal of these assets
from the vault of the Safe Deposit company,
pending such litigation rs may be necessary to
settle the dispute. Some say that Secretary
Boutwellis unconSciously playing into the hands
of these reckless spectators by afforling every
facility for such transactions as this in Rock
Island. 1t is seriously proposed to make a
thorough inN estigation of the late corner and to
hold to strict account those found to have been
concerned in the sWindle.
Among other explanations given of the col
lapse of the Rock Island ring is this: That the
whole thing was put-up scheme by Jay Gould
and Willard, Martin and Beach to pay Wood
ward off for the part he declined to take in the
pool at the September panic in 1869, and that
they, finding he was in want of 81 900 900 with
which to carry the stocks he had bought, took
measures to prevent his getting that amount,
and then circulated the statement that Wood
ward was unable TO take his stocks, and thereby
precipitated the catastrophe.
