BRooKLYx, August 30. -Rumors OF
defalcations in the public departments
of Brooklyn are becoming numerous.

heavy deficit of perhaps half million
dollars in the Tax Collectors office, but
with what amount of truth is not known.
A formal complaint against Rodman
was preferred by Mayor Powell yester-
day afternoon, and warrant was issued
against him upon which he was arrested
last night. He will probably be brought
before the court to-day and probably adj
mitted to bail. Treasurer Sprague, it is
understood, has voluntarily surrendered
all his property for the benefit OF the
city, and it is said that Rodman's defal-
cation has utterly ruined him.
The body of c. G. Kelsey, of Hunting
don, Long Island, was discovered yes
terday by fisherman and handed over
to the authorities of Oyster Bay. 1t
will be remembered that Kelsey disap.
peared very mysteriously in November,
1872, and it was claimed by his relatives
that he had been tarred and feathered
and murdered owing to his persistent
addresses to a young lady of Hunting
don, who was already engaged in mar
riage. Several parties we're arrested for
completely in his disappearance, but
nothing against them could be proved.
Yesterday about noon two fishermen
discovered the body in the water, and
on examination it was found that the
upper part of the body, and also the
feet, had disappeared, but what re-
NAMED showed that the body had been
tarred and feathersd. Kelsey's brothers
identified the remains by watch and
chain in the pantaloonS pocket. News
of the finding of the body has created
intense excitement in that part Of Long
Island. An inquest will be held to-day.
