New YORK, Dec. 3.-Rumor had yesterday,
once more, that Tweed had completed his ar.
engagements for a change in his residence and
pursuits, and that on and after Monday he will
never he seen in New York city again. There
IS no doubt that some of the men who know MIR
Tweed best aud have hitherto secuted the no.
ton that he would attempt to escape, now begin
TO expect him to flee from the country very
soon.
The furniture of the Americas Club house at
Greenwich has been seized by the sheriff to sat
isty an execution in favor of South Norwich
firm o. builders,
II Is currently reported that the grand Jury
has found indictments against VIM NJ Tweed,
Ipgcrsol, Gavey, Woodward and Thomas Z.
Fields,
Sheriff Brennan says that all rumors Of the
approaching arrest and Imprisonment of Tweed
are iint1uuded. Every Bondsuiau, lie added,
who has signed his name 10 lC Gal! band s res
Sponsible for the whole amount, and as several
OF the bOndSmCn are worth much more than
million of dollars; the sheriff feels no anxiety
III the Halter, II is true that none of tile bonds
men have as yet justified in court Ddt Mf
Brennan is convinced Of their entire RESPONSE
bility. He says that the case of Mr. Tweed and
that of MIR. Connolly are altogether different,
aud denies that he is showing the FORMER any
Undue favor IN allowing him to remain at
liberty.
EX-Conroller Connolly unqualifiedly de-
MES the truth of the renort printed Id Il MORN
ing journal to the effect that lie had made Il
confession. When visited yesterday in Ludlow
street jail Mr.. Connolly was found in cOmiorta
bic If not luxurious quarters on the main floor,
the apartments being those Occupied by the
family OF Warden Tracy. The floor was
handsomely carpeted, and in one corner stood a
black walnut bedStead, which looked inviting
enough TO be in a Fifth avenue mansion instead
Of Jail. Around the room easy chairs, table
and sofa were disposed, While cheerful lire
burned in the crate Mr.. Connolly was smoking
and appeared to be in excellent spirits He
said, in answer to questions, that there was no
ground whatever for the printed story of con-
leSsiOn, and he was, moreover, at a loss TO ac-
count for its origin The efforts to secure bail
which will be acceptable to Sheriff Brennan are
continued to-day and the friends of the eX-cons
trOller feel confident that the required amount
will be secured by Monday. In the meantime
Mr.. Connolly enjoys the best quarters and fare
Of the prison, subject, however, to the constant
surveillance Of one of Sheriff Brennan'S dcpu-
ties.
1t is confidently reported in we-informed cir
cles that an agreement has been reached by the
officers concerned, that Tweed will resign his
place as commissioner OF public works, and that
Mr.. Samuel G. Courtney, late United States dis
trict attorney, shall be appointed in his place.
There is reason 10 believe that there is some
thing in this rumOr, and that it is connected in
some way with plan to obtain the speedy rcsig-
udIOU OI mayor Ildll, III tndI CdSC inc APP
pointing power falls into the hands of the con-
tTOller, Mr. Green.
Ex-Distr,ct Attorney Courtney denies that he
is to be Tweed successor
-Four hundred employees in the park depart
ment were discharged yesterday.
Controller Green is paying off the city work
men as fast as funds are provided.
Sheriff Gowing is doubtful OF extending favors
10 Tweed any longer, and the probability is that
he will soon insist on taking Tweed in charge.
His bondsmen have never justified and probably
never will. Jay Gould withdrew for fear of the
strict examination to which he was to be sub
iected by the attorney for the bureau of munic-
ipal correction. Three other bondsmen are
said to be unwilling to undergo this examina-
ton, and have signfed their intention to with
draw from the bond. Hugh Hastings, of the
Commercial Advertiser is declared to be one OF
these. This report was circulated a fortnight
ago, but Hastings emphatically denies it, 1t is
again revived on the authority OF the same per
son who gave the information of the withdrawal
Of Jay Gould. 1t is reported that Tweed is much
alarmed and depressed since ConnOlly'S impris-
onment, Many persons feel sure that he will be
arrested and committed this week if he remains
here.
