NRw YORK, November 3.-Deputy
Controller Green to-day deposited to the
credit of the department of Public
Parks : $4,000; this, in addition to the
$4,000 paid the same department. yes
terday, will suffice to pay the large num-
Der of workingmen employed by that
department
Judge Barnard to-day further modi-
ged the Foley injunction so far as to
allow the issuing of the balance of the
SIS, 100000 of bonds negotiated by Au-
gust Belmont without having endorsed
on the face the approval of Deputy

little left of the injunction to modify.
Owing to the second regular influx OF
political visitors, incidental to the ex-
citement OF election day, Mr.. Tweed
was left at his ease yesterday. 1t is
generally understood that the Neyset
claim Of 81, 600, which had been as
signed to jackson S. Shultz, was to
have been paid yesterday, and the suit
discontinued, but the debt was''not liqui.
dated, and the suit still stands. 1t is
expected that Tweed will pay this claim
to-day.
As to Ingersoll, Garvey and Wood
ward nothing new has occurred, and
the discussion of their probable hiding
place has almost lost all interest. 1t is
admitted on every hand that they have
escaped justice, and are not likely to re.
turn of their own accord.
Deputy Controller Green is ready to
pay the Recorder and City Judges sal
aries, and thinks them entitled 10 the
sum fixed by the Legislature and ap-
proved, which is ten thousand dollars
year. The Supervisors afteward placed
the salaries at fifteen thousand dollars,
but as this was not ratified by the Legis-
lature, the Deputy Controller was only
willing to pay them ten thousand dol
lars.
The payment of 2l00 men employed
on the aqueduct has been completed.
The police were also paid yesterday and
forty thousand dollars was placed to the
credit of the Department Of Parks.
Watchers Mt the Polls.
The work of enrolling watchers
to stand at the polls on election day was
commenced today. Already about two
thousand young men OF known good
standing have been assigned to duty.
These watchers are to act as extra in
spectors. In political circles everything
is in blaze OF excitement and prepara-
tion for the contest of Tuesday.
Grand Duke Alexis.
The Russian Minister states that if
Grand Duke Alexis arrives here between
this and Tuesday next, the parade will
take place Wednesday, and if he should
arrive early enough Tuesday the parade
will take place on Wednesday. 1t is
decided that if he arrives before Tuesday
he shall land incognito. and proceed to
the Brevoort House and leave for
Washington. On his return he will
remain incognito at his hotel until the
election is over, and then the pro-
gramme already arranged will be car
red out.

A largely attended meeting ofthe New
York Board Of Underwriters, was held
this afternoon to protest against the ac-
ton Of Judge Cardoza, in granting an
injunction against the Mercantile In
surance Company, and appointing

ny hearing. Resolutions stigmatizing
Cardozas' action as an outrage were
passed.
Minister Catacazy.
The Times this morning has an article
on the Catacazy trouble and plainly
intimates that Minister Catacazy himself
is the author of the statement published
in the st. Petersburg Journal, to the
effect that the most harmonious rela-
tiops exist between the United States
Government and the Russian Embassy,
and that no intention Of any trouble
has been delivered by Minister Curtin
to the Russian Government. The
Times dares Catacazy to make the above
denial over his signature.
The Great Polygamy Problem,
new developments in which are daily

What truth there is in this statement
remains 10 be seen. 1t is also stated
that a party from Holland is now IN
