ID IANES A4RE L

To the honorable Chairman and Members of the
Special Committee appointed by the House of
Representatives TO investigate the charges
preferred against Messrs. Carr and Dewet 5:
GENTLEMEN-We would respectfully sub
NIT the following explanation in reference
I" the charges made against us. Last year,
during the time when the funding bill was
before the House, we purchased a large
amount OF warrants, i'll all about $57 900
worth, OF various parties, with the inten-
ZION OF having them exchanged for the
bonds to be Issued under this bill.
Upon our ascertaining that none but
audlted warrants could be funded, we ex-
changed portion of the warrants in our
hands for audited warrants. At some time
after Mr.. j. Hernandez, with whom we had
made the exchange above referred TO- in
formed lis that he had reason to believe
that certain of the warrants SO EXCHANGED
had been altered, and we at once called
upon Mr.. Smith, the Warrant Clerk. and
requested him to examine his books and
see ii such was the case. He told us that
such was not the case. Nothing further
was heard from them until last AUGUST
when MIR. hernandez again called upon Us
and informed us that the State Auditor said
that the warrants in question had been
raised from $4,000 to $4,000 each
We again called upon the Warrant Clerk.
and he informed us that he had no means
rants had been issued in amounts of $4,000
or $1,000 each, but that his impression was
that they were issued for $4,000
We then substituted other warrants for
those held by Mr.. Hernandez, aud took
those claimed TO have been altered to the
Attorney General, who, upon examination.
indorsed across the face of said warrants
Good for two thousand dollars" or words
TO thai effect.
1t being impossible to negotiate the war
rants lth such Endorsement, we took tltm
10 the Warrant Clerk, and requested ham
TO lssu" III their place warrants for the OH
gnai amounts of $4,000, and bearing the
same datA, and, in every way, cAarlly
sliuIaT to the original warran Is, which he
did, Before issuing said warrants he
marked across the face Of the altered war
rants, ''canceled,' and erased his signature
thereon. Messrs Carr, Devices and vi
gers, each, as he signed the duplicate war
rants, erased his name on the altered war
rants We then took them to Mr.. John w,
Madden, in whose favor they had been is
sued, and whose Endorsement they bore.
and he, in the presence Of his okkeeper |
and ourselves, destroyed the altered war |
rnnts and then Endorsed the new ones just

IN the lives oi the Saddcst of us here are
oIight day, when we feel as if we could
take the great world in our arms. Then
come the gloomy hours, when the fire will
neither burn On our bearths nor IN our
hearts, and all without and within is dismal
cold aud dark. Believe me, every heart has
Its secret sorrows which the world knows
not, and Otttimes we call a man cold when
he ls only sad.--Longfeliow

THE HUNTERS POINT BIBLE QUESTION.

The Hunters Point Bible question, which. It wa4
thought, would come to head on Tuesday, remained
yesterday morning still unsettled. The trustees deter
mined on Tuesday night to wait another day and LEI
the Board or Education have one more chance To
change the obnoxious section which calls for Tho
reading Of the Scriptures before finally closing tne
building. Yesterday morning Trustees Carr and
Fisse therefore, presented themselves At the school
and heard the reading Of the Scriptures Last
night they met, and IN secret session determined
upon some action but what Il Is will not be SHOWN
TILL to-day. During the opening exercises everyf
thing passed or quietly, although little interest
seemed to be taken IN what was read. The studied
indifference Of the older scholars made great con,
trasJ with the order which formerly prevailed. i,
The original notice served BY the trustees on the
Board OF EDUCATION refusing to allow the Of the
public school buildings and property for rellgiOud

PNEUMATIC POWER FOR QUICK TRANSIT.

The New York Society Of Practical Engineering
met last evening to discuss atmospheric pressure as
applied to car propulsion. Professor James A.
Whitney read paper describing the three
great systems into which pneumatic motors
may be classified. For an overhead rail-
way the car should be driven bodily through
tube by fan blast or by means OF vacuum.
For large tunnel-say thirty feet by eignteen-the
car would nave TO run on TRACKS and pc so con-
nected WI IN piston In small pneumatic tube 40
TO be driven " the piston For surface street rail-
ways ar compressed I'm cylinders to work engines
on the car, Instead OF steam, might be used. All
these plans require Improvement In their details TO
ut them for actual practice; but such improvements
ought to be readily made. Mr.. Fisher advocated
heating the air, BY gasburners IN the tank system:
TO keep 1t from freezing up the moisture contained
IN IL when expanding IN the engine cylinders, the
expansion Of air rendering latent large quantity
OF neat Dr. GILBERT spoke at length In favor OF large
pneumatic tubes with oars driven as IN the
broadway tunnel but with open spaces for stations
at intervals OF q mile. Peter Cooper gave most
interesting sketch Of some airdrivlng mechanism
q screw or spiral fan, applied by him 10 produce
draft In the boiler chimney OF the first locomotive
ever made in an American workshop.
