THE NEW YORK POOR.

A committee or eminent gentlemen held meet
ing at room No. 90 Bible House last evening to
receive a report OF committee appointed at a
previous meeting to consider the best means OF
relieving the poor OF the city during the extraor.
dinary distress OF the present winter. The report
was drawn up by the Rev. DR.. Potter and other
gentlemen equally well known, and was read
by the Rev. Mr.. Duryea. Mr. jackson S. sculzt
occupied the chair.
The report OF the committee began by saying
that it meant TO sugges; the best means OF
doing the most good in a season when there would
be very great amount OF distress prevalent in
the city. The committee had found that one of the
most important points was to discourage as much
possible through the public prints all poor per.
sons from coming to the city at present, for here
the need was greater than anywhere else; that
the State Board Of Charities be recommended to
treat all persons not having a residence in the
city, VINO ASK charity, as state Panpers. The COM
mlttee request that the Board oil state Charities
mold meeting TO consider the subject and
adopt the plan as soon as possible The committee
request the Boards OF Emigration and Charities and
Correction TO take what action they can IN rellev
ing the largest number OF the poor. The commit
tee discourage the belief among the poor that spa
cious buildings will be erected wherein they VIII
be as well led and clothed as the honest indus
trous poor. The committee would establish a CEN
trail ONCE Of charities with which all existing char
liable institutions be requested 10 cooperate, there
being no ntagonism meant with the existing in
hututiOis, aud 50 as 10 guard against Imposition
that no persons except those suffering from aDso-
lutte necessity be relieved and that the commit
tee act through the best known sources.
An article which was not Incorporated in the
report was that all clergymen be requested 10 ask
contributions towards the general lund; but it
ought to De taken as recommendation.
The report was then voted on and unanimously
adopted, and committee OF nine was appointed
TO carry OUT the provisions Of the report. The
mittee appointed Is Henry Day, A. W. Spies, +.
N. Kingsley. Theodore Roosevelt, ID. r. Hawiey,
Rev. Dr. Hall, Rev. DIR. McGynn, b. B. Atterbury
and j. SelIgman.

Curious Conduct Of Captain OF Police.
Pineus Setis OF No. 500 Grand street. Williams
burg was arrested yesterday at his residence by
Detective Keenan,, OF the Fourteenth precinct
police. He was conducted to this city, temporarily
locked mp at the Thirteenth precinct station and
subsequently arraigned at the Tombs Police Court
The Justice held him for examination in s. 900 bal

arrested for the same robbery. His brother,
Raphael NJ. Seltis, who had been employed by Mr.
c. S. Levy, OF No. ~ Crosby street, was locked up
Monday last as being the principal in the theft
He was employed by Mr.. Levy, and, 1t is charged

edge of the proprietors Mr.. Levy noticing q
serious loss in his stock, applied TO Captain
Cncny, OF the Fourteenth precinct. He detailed
Detective Keenan, TO work up the case, and the
latter soon discovered Seltis was the man. After
arresting him the detective was in the act OF
searching his premises when the brother, Pineus,
entered. Keenan, induced him into conversation
and from some words dropped suspected he he was vas
an officer was sent TO watch him. and Keenan, fol-
lowed to Williamsburg. Brooklyn policeman
was requested to arrest him, and this , done his
5000 was found and placed upon wagon for
transfer to New York. A sergeant attached to
York officers to stop at the station house
on their way to the ferry. They complied;
but to their annoyance ana that oI tn, the owner OF

could be got out OF it. superintendent
Matsell was informed OF the AFFAIR. and
he waxed very wroth at the conduct
OF the Brooklyn Captain. The authorities there
were made aware Of all the circumstances, and
they ordered the grasping Captain to dlsgorge. He
obeyed with very bad grace last evening, and the
goods were transferred to the keeping OF the
Fourteenth precinct police. They will be
handed over TO the owner on Monday. Such
attempts to squeeze profit out Of passing cases is
most Injurious to the ends c justice, and not unre
quently deprives the people robbed OF opportunI-
