Our New York Dispatches.

New YORK, Oct. 10.-It is stated that forger-
les of very startling character have been traced
TO a very high official, who, nOmnaly, is in the
control of one of the most important city de-
partmentS. The district attorney to-day will
probably take action in the matter which it is
said will involve both the ring and the reform
ers.
Corporation counsel O'Gorman, who was ex-
amncd yesterday, privately, by ex-Judge Bar
rett, says he had turned the case of Ingersoll
over to his associate, being very busy himself,
that the few documents left from what had been
stolen from the controllers office, and from
those missing from the late Auditor Watson s
office, were in the hands of Controller Green,
and that, even admitting the frauds were proven,
he, OGOrman, did not see how the law could be
made to reach the guilty parties.
The Herald prominently prints the following
we understand that some startling develop
mentS are likely to be made to-day that will pre-
sent new phase of our municipal troubles.
These developments may astonish the committee
OF seventy, as well as our citizens gener-
orally, and may add an important item to the
many they have already discovered in the his
tory of official rascality,"
1t is rumOred that Mayor Halls signature was
forged on the vouchers and alleged eXOrbitant
bills of Carney and lngersOll, and that he can
present conclusive evidence thereof. In this
case, the city will be able to recover from the
bank all money obtained by the forgery.
Mr.. Ashbury intmated last night that he
would sail nine of the twelve races proposed by
tue English clubs. The Herald to-day says that
Asbburys claim to sail twelve different races,
his yacht to represent a separate English yacht
club, will never be conceded by the New York
club. Should he, under such ruling, win any
one of the twelve races, even if he were beaten
in all the others, he would claim the queens cup
for the English club which he might in that one
race represent.
Several insurance companies have sent officers
TO Chicago today to look after their interests.
None of the prominent officers here can give any
idea of the extent Of their losses as yet.
The run on the Third Avenue savings bank
continued till eight O'Clock last evening, all de-
mands being promptly met. Several who drew
their money had their pockets picked in the
crowd, the police being very inefficient.
The feelings against the directors of the Han
nibal and st. Joseph railroad are bitter. A
formidable opposition is organizing against the
Boston interest, and, it is said, has already Sc
cured majority of the stock.
The run on the Third Avenue savings bank is
diminishing; half million dollars have been
withdrawn.
City tax receipts to-day, So, $40.

The facts brought out by the crosse xamination
were such as would require the aid of plans present.
ed to eucidate, aud tended to show the advantages
of the location between Green and Grafton streets,
both for the public and the railroads; but, Mt Mr.
Nelson's request, he brought forward plan for
bringing the Nashua road into depot located east
of Grafton street, which obviated the difficulties
upon which hls objections to that location We're
chiefly based. This plan proposed TO bring the
Nashua road to the Washington square location by
starting at point north of Lincoln square and
swinging around TO the cast of the grounds upon
which the hospital buildings are now located and
coming into the eastern end of the depot with a
moderate curve. 1t appeared by MIR. Balls esti-
mate that this arrangement would be a saving, in
the aggregate, over the Green street location, Of
S50O,0OO. He estimated that the whole cost of such
branching off of the Nashua road, would be about
Sbj0I00.
Mr. Samuel Mott of Hartford, superintendent
and once engineer of the Hartford Providence and
and F1shkill railroad was called by MIR. Rice. He
stated that he had thoroughly examined the routes
of the railroads through Worcester, and also the
proposed locations for the Union passenger station
having spent over two days for that purpose; and,
all things considered, preferred the one west of
Grafton street He thought il would better accom-
mOdate the roads from the north; would better ac-
cOmmOdate the public by the arrangement for hay.
ing the tracks go under the building, and would be
a great accommodation in the matter OF making
southern connections. He should consider the in
convenience of being headed to the east-as neces-
STATED by the location east of Grafton strcet-a
very great one, and should advise large eXpendi-
ture, if necessary, to avoid it; should expect that if
such depot was built, change would be made in
1t before many years. He thought that in a city
like this 1t was very desirable that depot be so ar
ranged to allow of the people getting TO il with
out crossing tracks; had examined the Green street
plan; saw no engineering difficulties in the way of
bridging Green street.
The evidence will probably be all given in to-day,
after which considerable time will be occupied by
the attorneys arguments

VALUABLE DOCUMENTS.
All the books and papers of the historical so.
cety, including the original copy of the famous
emancipation proclamation Of President Lin
coin, for which the society paid $4,000, were
destroyed.
ORPHANS BURNED TO DEATH.
II is feared that large number of children,
inmates of the Catholic orphans society, on
State street, are also burned, as many of them
are missing.
SCENES OF INDIsCRIBABLE HORROR AND
DEATH.
On Chicago avenue, a father rushed up stairs
to carry three children away, when he was over
taken by the flames and persisted with them.
The mother was afterwards seen on the street,
a raying maniac. In the same neighborhood, a
family of five persons persisted. The list of
such fatalities is very long, and can only be
fully verified after the smoke has cleared.
BARELY ESCAPED WITH LIFE.
There are hundreds of families on the north
west side who saved no clothing, but barely
their lives. Among these arc the family of
Perry Smith, formerly president of the North
western railroad company.
THE INSURANCE AND THE loss.
Ldter-A careful survey of the insurance to-
day, shows that there were written on property
destroyed over two hundred millions of dollars.
Add another hundred million, and a fair csti-
mate can be reached of the loss.
WILL RESUME BUSINESS.
All the leading merchants who have been seen
express a determination TO resume business at
once. This includes the heavy houses, such as
John V. Farwell, Field, Letter & Co., and
Sprague, Warner & Co. Farwel & Co. and
Field, Letter & Co. saved from three hundred
thousand TO half a million dollars worth of
goods. Both firms have already established

was manifested to at once rebuild the city and
restore business.
LEGISLATIVE AID.
A special meeting of the legislative will he
held, to provide means for aiding business men
and the employment for the poor.
FEARS OF PILLAGE.
Fears are entertained that the desperate dis
tress of so many will create squads of pillagers'
and life will not be safe. To relieve these, Gen.
Sheridan is telegraphing for more troops, and a
special police force is being organized by the
citizens The only effcctual remedy is to find
employment for the thousands who would work
if they could.
THE TELEGRAPH BUSINESS.
The temporary office of the Western Union
telegraph company is thronged by thousands,
anxious to advise with friends.

wreaths at the gas burners; at the east end was
the motto "Da ct Dabitur Vobis," and at the
opposite end its translation, give and it shall
be given to you;" the heavily loaded tables all
about the hall made up the remainder of the
decoration. There was a Fcnion table, over
which large Fenian dag waved, and among
the articles upon it was silver trumpet to be
