EXTRA STREET CLEANING.

The Claim OF John l.. Brown for Eighty
six Thousand Dollars Extra Services
and the Board Of Audft-Why the
Claim Has Not Been Audited Pursuant
to q Writ OF Perem ptOry Mandamus-
Motion to Punish the Board for Com
tempt.
John L. Brown claims that the city owes him
$s5,000 for extra services in 1871 in cleaning the
streets. AS the Board OF Audit would not pass
upon the claim, and put the matter In such shape
as to allow Mr.. Brown to get warrant on the city
exchequer for the amount, application was made
some time since at Supreme Court, Chambers, on
his behalf for a pcremptory mandamus against the
Board of Audit, directing them TO audit the claim.
This writ was granted, but with an allowance OF
twenty days time in which to comply with The
stipulations The twenty days passing and the
writ being neither complied with nor any return
made to the same, application was made for an or
der to show cause why A. ii. Green and Henry II.
Stebbins members Of the Board OF Audit, should
not be punished for contempt OF court through fail
ure to comply with the writ. This motion came up
for argument yesterday before Judge Barrett hold
ing Supreme Court, Chambers.
MIR. West stated the circumstances under which
how coees Of he es same nad been serve
MEMBER OF the Board, how Mr.. Van Worst, one OF
the members. was willing TO audit the claim, but
Messrs. Green and Stebbins were not; how he had
waited beyond the appointed time and, finding
no likelihood OF the writ being complied with, he
now asked the punishment OF the latter two gen.
tlemen for contempt of Court.
Mr.. Strahan, in opposition read several afiida-
Wits going to show, as he claimed, that the whole
fault In the matter lay with the other side. These
anidavits set forth general fishing expedition
after the facts and figures upon which Mr.. Brown
bases his claim. The result was that neither MIR.
Brown nor his counsel would give any facts TO rep
resentatves of the Board. He insisted that the two
members of the Board in question were willing and
anxious to audit the bill, but thev could not do so
without the proper data being furnished Them
Judge Barrett said that the Board had no doubt
been guilty OF q technical contempt, but, az shown
in the afidavits made, were seeking the proper
information upon which to comply with the writ.
He desired that Mr.. Brown should be paid all he
was entitled to, but not dollar more, and such
evidently was the wish of the Board
After some further remarks 1t was finally decided
to let some answering afidavits be submitted on
behalf OF Mr. Brown and the case will be reargued
on the reassembng oil the Court to-day.

position OF one Alice Draper. at PEABODY in Massa
chussetts. All he had to say In reply was that he
did not admit the plaintins right TO take that de-
position 1t was plainly illegal. The party was
pound to take his testimony and have II ready for
the trial. and the plaintiff could not jerk his ad-
versary away from his engagements In that man
ner during the actual trial OF the cause in court.
Mr.. 0'COnor said he protested against the notice.
II was most irregular, and the defendant did not
regard 1t.
Judge Shpman said ne did not think that at
such stage OF the case the Court should he called
upon to take the deposition OF party out OF fhc
State. IL was not the practice In Connecticut to
do So He said this without saying what his ruling
would be II the deposition was brought tnto Court
and offered.
The case was then adjourned till this morning.

subjected to the depredatOns Of thieves and pick
pockets to an unusual extent. The inclemency of
the weather ana the consequent dlt1cuty OF trans

atOrs, OF which they have not been slow to avail
themselves.
One Of the victims OF these gentry was Dr. Alex

on Blackwell's Island. On the sd inst. while
riding ON Tiurd avenue car, he was relieved OF

meeting OF the Committee on the Nilsson Hall
Armory Investigation was held in the Chamber Of
the Board OF Aldermen yesterday. The witnesses
examined were Mr.. J. B. Young, the lessee OF the
hall, and Mr.. woodwork.
In the course Of Mr.. Young's testimony he said
that the memorandum he gave Mr.. Anfenger and
Mr. Stem, in which the terms for letting Nilsson
Hall were stated, was simply given as the basis Of
q proposal to be made to Mr. Young by those par
ties for hts consideration; the card, having his

made by tnat gentleman that he had leased the

because 1t was for part OF the Nilsson Hall prop
erty and not for the whole oft; he was not told
that Il was intended to relet the property to the
city for an armory; Mr.. Young said that ne had
nothing to conceal; he let the hall to Daniel Fallon
on the Representations OF Colonel Poultsey, in
whom he had great confidence.
Mr.. Woodworth in his testimony, said he was
purchaser OF the Nilsson Hall property; ne bought
let for MIN; had never seen Mr.. Fallen; had given
originally $685. 900 for the property, and had spent
about forty-hve thousand dollars upon 1t since; he
thought the rent e9500) was fair rent, consider
ing that IL was leased for ten years; he had the
abstract OF the title and would produce 1t before
the committee II desired.
Colonel Poultsey sent a letter, addressed to the
chairman, Supervisor Cooper, which was read by
Supervisor McCanerty, that stated that the reason
he had not appeared before the committee was
that his connection with the leasing was that OF
attorney acting for his client, Mr.. Fallon, and ne
could not disclose anything In reference thereto
without violating the confidence that was always
reposed by clients in their lawyers.
Mr. Smythe, who appeared for Daniel Fall0n,
said that they would absolve Colonel Poutsey from
that obligation.
The inquiry was then adjourned until Monday

THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT..
Alderman VAN setback said that he desired to
state, on behalf OF the special committee OF the
Common Council appointed to provide accommO-
dalton for the Department OF Public Works, that
the committee had virtually agreed upon an ar
rangement that would give in the City Hall sutfi-
cient accommodation for the Department Of Public
Works. The committee had been unable to get
together at present for the formal agreement as to
this report; but the fact was-and 1t was desirable
that 1t should be announced for the benefit of the

REMARKS.
Castle-The Rutland and a part Of the Vermont
Central trains were very much behind time this
week, creating check to what might have been
decently active market for cattle. Some butchers
thought they were paying rather higher for young
Stock. Many of the butchers had made up their
minds to purchase Of deal rs who, upon the arrival
of late trains found the offerings as represented
and different punches were turned over at prices
the same as last noticed. Lake steers received in
good condition.
Sheep and Larubs-Sheep market opened dull
with some 1000 head less to operate with. No fault
OF owners that trade not active. Scarcely any
thing done until toward the middle Of the forenoon
| Trade began by large dealers coming % under

\ GIRL STOLEN BY GYPsIEs.-We learn
through a private letter from A. A. Butter
field Of jacksonville, Vt, that party of
gypsies, now eneamped in Pennsylvania,
have among them girl who says she is
L years old, that her name is Caroline
Green, and that she was stolen from Yer
mont by them six years ago. This state
ment came through an Irish woman that
lives near the gypsy camp, with whom this
girl managed to get n moments talk. The
woman thinks the name Of the town from
which the girl says she was taken, was
something like Wilmington. The girl is
said to be seen daily among the gypsies,
and it is believed there must be something
IN her story. The girl said that she had
tried twice to get away, but that they had
punished her and threatened her life if she
attempted it again.
