The injunction against city officials does

1T is Of course utterly impossible that Con.
trOller Connolly should remain in Office now,
and his retirement is merely question of
few hours time, perhaps, possibly of days
certainly not of weeks. If he does not re-
sign now, the mayor can not avoid impeach-
ing him, and the stigma affixed to his ad-
ministration by Judge Barnard foreshadows
the sentence that would inevitably be passed
on him by the Court of Common Pleas if he
is foolhardy enough to brave trial; he has
no reason to expect that the Court Of Com
mon Pleas would treat him with more ten
derness than Judge Barnard. We are con-
fdent he will not brave such a trial, and we
hope to hear Of his resignation in the course
of the day.

Professor Mahan went on board the
steamer Mary Powell this morning, at West
Point, on his way to New York. Nothing
peculiar was noted in his manner. About
an hour after going on board, he jumped
from the steamer, forward of the wheel, into
the river. He was undoubtedly struck by
the wheel, as his body did not come to the
surface. Boats were lowered and every
effort made to save him, without success.
His act was undoubtedly entirely deliber-
the vicinity where he made the fatal Jump.
He went on board the steamer with his house
keeper, who seemed to have some suspicious
that the old gentleman was in trouble. He
said to her "Don't follow me about" He
succeeded in getting away from her, and
disappeared. He was seen to make the
fatal leap by one Of the pilots, who gave the
alarm. Professor Mahon was about seventy
years old, apparently hale and hearty.
