THE OLD DoDGE.-Daniel Gallagher, cab
man, has been committed to prison by Alderman
BoEsall to answer the charge of extorting
money from q drunken citizen. 1t seems that
Gallagher was engaged to drive the citizen from
the Baltimore depot to the upper section of the
city. Instead of carrying out his contract he
stopped at Ninth and Christian streets, and told
the citizen that he had arrived at his destination
He then gave him piece of paper, which he
said would answer for his fare in the city rail-
way. Gallagher was soon after arrested and
committed as above stated.

THE FICKEN SHOOTING CAsE.-It will be re-
membered that last February a wealthy sugar
refner of this city named Fcken shot an inno-
cent little boy for leaving valentine under his
door, and the youth will be cripple for life.
The perpetrator of this cruel deed gave $12, 500
bail for his appearance, and then fed to Europe.
In the usual course the bail was forfeited, and
an execution was issued, but Ficken's private
counsel, Messrs. Cassidy and William B. Mann,
are now seeking to have the judgment of for
feiture stricken off, and for that purpose they
some six weeks ago entered a rule, which stays
the Sheriffs writ. Every Saturday since this
rule has been upon the list, but his never been
answered to, and yet the District Attorney, not
withstanding his recent action in regard to for
feited recognizances, has never insisted upon
the rule being disposed of. Why is this

WAsnINGToN, Oct. 2.-The fact is, perhaps
unknown, except to few persons, that the recent ex
posure of the Tanmany frauds in NeWIOrk has been O
much practical benefit 10 the Taxpayers in Washington
The Board Of Public Works are pushing with great
energy the improvement Of large number Of our streets
and this neeessitates the use OF large quantity 0
paving and curbing stone One OF the largest nTs II
New York dealing in these materials made an offer tC
the Board deliver here large quantity OF bluestOnt
curbng at d % per lineal foot. This same firm have
been supplying this same kind OF stone to the
New.York City Government Mt from o. IS TO 81 46 pei
neal foot. The disturbance In the Tammany Ring and
the Iposre of the frauds stopped all demands for the
stone In New York the firm decided to ship bluc-sone
curbing Washington and dispose OF it To our Board O
Public Works from 2 to 80 cents per nca foot le7s
than Tammany paid them. .
The action OF this one has since been followed by
several others in NewYUrk, until our City Goyernmrnt
has been enabled 10 make contracts Tor all te sopc
firms sell stone much cheaper 70 the CITY of Wash

CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS AGAINST TWEED.
A MOTION TO BE MADE TO-DAY To PUNISH HIM
FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT.
Ex-Judge Barrett informed TRIBUNE re-
porter last evening that he would make motion to-day
before Judge Barnard In the Supreme Court requesting
the punishment of William NJ Tweed for hagrant con-
tempt Of Court in violating the injunction granted
in the Foley suit THIS violation was doubly In de-
fauce Of law consisted Of the expenditure or prom
ised expenditure of money for work which WAS dong
under instructions from the Department OF Public
Works when the appropriation was entirely exhausted
Something must be DONE" said ex-Judge Barrett to
teach this man Tweed that he cannot
outrage law, justice and popular opinion
in so aaqrant a manner. Afidavits and documentary
evidence generally, pouring in upon the Commltee
revealing more extensively the frauds upon the city,
1t was this voluntary evidence that indicated the depth
of the ylauy Of Tweed and his associates and which
precluded the trial OF Hall with them. Their crimes
were great for slight punishment as would
be meted out to the Mayor. The afidavits in the
case Of Tweed would he made out to-day
and charges preferred against him Connolly will also
be made to suffer for his crminaty, almost as heavily
as Tweed Joseph Young, Clerk Of the Board OF Super
visors who was great scOdre as any OF the others

| ExJudge Barrett and his associates had caused the
Courthouse building and its contents to be appraised
by practical tradesmen and the discrepancy between
