THE FERRY ENCOURAGEMENT.

The Committee from tho Board Of Aldermen
of Brooklyn Confers With the Representa-.
lives Of the UDion Ferry Company.
At noon yesterday Messrs Morse and Smith, Presi-
dent and superintendent of the Union Ferry Com
pany, met the committee from the Board OF Alder
men Of Brooklyn TO confer with them In regard to
the question OF encroachment OF the new ferry
house at the foot Of Fulton street on
city property. Messrs. Smith and Morse were
seconded by the counsel for the ferry
company, Mr.. Benjamin d. Silliman. That gentle
man opened the proceedings with lengthy argu-
ment In support OF the ferry company. He de-
Clared that the company had no selfish or mercenary
motives in the construction Of the ferry building to
It's present line, and that 1t was the desire OF the
company TO harmOnize with the city government
and to respect the city officials. The substance OF
Mr.. Siiman's argument bore upon the acceptance
by the committee Of proposition from the ferry
company TO pay to the city the nominal sum Of
81 for the privilege or using the ground en-.
croacned upon by the ferry building. The structure
ne said, had cost the company 100000, and the
company would not receive an additional cent
satisfied yield the strip OF land encrOached upon
for the public interest and Tor the nominal sum OF
tive manner that the ferry company was not organ
l%ed or operated for the purpose OF money making:

and BrOOklyn; the larger portion OF them are held
IN Queens and Suffolk counties and other localities.
Cooperation Counsel De WITT replied to the argu-
ment of Mr.. Silliman, and considered 1t a remark
able address" " but he supposed that an examlna-
ton was to be held between the ferry company
and the city. The company, he remarked, mad re-
manned In the same position with their Old building
for twenty-five years. and when the officials Of the
Brooklyn departments were absent from the city In
the summer the ferry company deliberately en-
crOached upon the street and claimed ownership.
He did not appreciate their interest as Brooklyn
men nor the nominal sum proposed by the company.
The company ought to pay rent for the ground en-.
CrOaChed upon In accordance with It's worth. New

obtained one cent ferriage for portion Of the day.
and he would suggest that the cent ferriage be
continued through the day.
MIR. SILLIMAN said the ferry could not be run for
one cent fare and that or the five ferries OF the
pany the Fulton ferry alone pays expenses.
The committee adjourned ana will report the re.
suit OF their conference at the next meeting Of the

On Thursday morning the O'Brien Menagerie
arrived in Carmel, and the company took lodgings
at the hotel in which am residing, kept by Mr.. d.
Lockwood. IL was soon rumored around that they
had with them

who was, In fact, in dying condition. The man
ager OF the troupe, whose name think, Is Whltia-
kerr said to the Of the landlord that the boy had
been ang for some time. During the day, how
ever, the suspicious circumstances which have been
related In the HERALD occurred Toward evening
went down stairs from my room and happened 10
meet one OF the showmen. In conversation with
him spoke OF the sick boy, and he said

he feared he himself would be implicated.

Another View Of the Case.

NEW MILFORD, Conn, sept. 10. 1871.
The authorities aud some OF the citizens or tuiA
town have made an Investigation into the reported
starving OF the boy connected with O-Brien's me-
nagerie. According to the papers ID the possession
OF the French actors 1t appears that they took the
boy from the House OF Refuge In New Orleans about
the 25th OF March last and gave him duties Of light
nature to perform intending TO advance him az
he became more useful. lie had, however. q broken
arm at the time they took him, and Immediately ar.
ter was taken with chronic dlarrhpa, and was sup
posed to be AFFLICTED with certain inherited disease.
Mrs. Whitaker and other attaches OF the company
assert that since the lst OF May the boy has received
good medical treatment and such care as could be-
given him. They say he has always
been given sufficient food though nos
always such he desired, as it was
deemed best for his health not 10 do so. IL
appears from the testimony that the boy mad very
unnatural appetite, and would If lett alone drink all
his medicine or any hlthy Stops within has reach.
Those engaged In the investigation say that If all be
true which they have heard from tie pany In re-
gard 10 the boys filthy habits and condition It IL
surprising that he l1ved SO long without great deal
OF care ana nursing. Tne committee do not believe
the boy was starved and think that II the cOmpdnys
statements are true great injustice mas ocen done
them. The report Is signed by the Selectmcn Of
New Milford and others.
