also made strenuous inquiries at the Lud-
low Street jail TO know II Tweed had been
brought there. or If he would be brought there
during the day. The officials at this place denied
all knowledge OF Tweed's whereabouts, ana de-
clared that they did not believe that Tweed would
be brought 10 Ludlow Street Jail, az all people IN
such circumstances as he was placed by the law
would have 10 go to the Tombs TO await SEN
tence. And then visit was made to the once OF
the District Attorney, where the reporter saw Mr.
Allen, the Assistant District Attorney. TINS gen
tleman declared that he beheved tnat tweed was
SAFELY LOCKED IN THE TohBS,
but when he was informed by the HERALD Ie-
porter that he was not he seemed dreadfuly
astonshed and sent messenger three times TO
Sheriff Brennan TO know what he had
done with Tweed. The latter sent word
back that Tweed was "ln his GUS
tody.n and further satisfaction could not
he got as to Tweed's whereabouts, as was getting
late at the District Attorneys office. Mr.. Allen
stated however, that 1t was quite probable that
Tweed might be punished with 20 years. imprison-
ment on the different counts, and stated that he
had been proven guilty and convicted OF l02
offences known TO the law as misdemeanors.
At the Sherif's of1ice the reporter was denied
access to Mr.. Brennan, but he saw JudsOn Jarvis,
who saw Sherin Brennan, end Jarvis stated that
the Sheriff informed him that Tweed was .'in his
CUSTODY as per arrangement with Judge Davis,
and no further satisfaction could be got on this
most extraordinary proceeding, which WILL no
doubt, cause great sensation when fully ven
tilated.

RAILROAD ENGINEERS AND THE PANIC
What They Are Going To Do About
Commodore Vanderbilts Reduction
POlfcV.

POUGHKEEPSIE, NOV. 1S, 1873.
A committee from the engineers OF the New York
Central and Hudson River railroads passed south
this morning, route to New York, to have an
audience with Commodore Vanderbilt relative to
the order issued on Monday Affecting the en-
glneers' pay. Mr. Macarthur, OF the committee, says
that the order issued ny the company reads that
on and after November II engineers and fremen
will be paid by actual trips only, and Will not be
allowed any shop time or any other time except
that Of actual trips made Five years ago the en-
glneers OF the New York Central made contract
with Dean Richmond. In the interview which then
occurred they asked pay for working days only
when Dean Richmond proposed to pay them So 25
for every day in the year. saying then the company
would have a claim upon them whenever they
were wanted. This proposition was accepted, and
at later period Mr.. Torrence the Vice President,
advanced the pay rs cents day more making it
s. so, which even then was only equal to wages
paid to engineers on the Erie, Pennsylvania, Gen.
tral ana other roads. All OF the committee seemed
impressed with the idea that they had not been
fairly dealt with by the new order. They say that
President Wilson, OF the brotherhood, has not
been at Albany lately and tnat the brotherhood
has held no meeting. They hope to convince Com
modorc Vanderbilt that he has committed an un.
Intentional error.

MORE ABOUT ITS LgAsE-EvERYrHING LOVELY
FOR THE PENNA cENrRAL-s. NJ. FELTON, TO
BECOME DIRECTOR IN THE GIANT CORPORA
TIoN.
From the West Chester Recordl
The lease of the West Chester & Philadelphia
Rail Road has been topic of conversation on
our streets for some time past, the principal
source of wonder with most people being what
in tho world the large companies want the road
for. The stock of the Company is held by a
very few parties, who purchased it few years
back when it could be bought at almost any
price from three dollars up it was bid to 53 IN
Philadelphia this week. The majority of the
stock is held by four gentlemen, and two Of
these Mr.. Baird and Mr.. Hopes, are 80 largely
interested in the Pennsylvania Rail Road that
if the latter corporation wanted the West Ches-
ter road, II was tolerably certain they wonld
have it for the asking. The Philadelphia c3r-
respondent of the Bucks county In'ethJ Jencer
speaks of the proposed lease thus: The latest
item of interest in rail road circles con-
withsthree Of the greatest corporations in Amer
lea struggling forit, the Pennsylvania Central,
Baltimore and Ohio, and Philadelphia and Read
ing. Although this line is only tWeuty-seyen
miles long it has charter authorizing an extern
sion 10 Peach Bottom, on the Susquehanna riv-
err thirty miles southwark, which could thus be
4, used to open through route from Philadelphia
to Baltimnre and Washington. The Baltimore
and Ohio Company is compelled to seek this
line by the fact that the Philadelphia, Whining
ton and Baltimore line either is already within
the control of the Pennsylvania Central or near
" so. The Boston fire weakened holders Of
Wilmington stock, and the Pennsylvania Cen
tral folks are said to have promptly stepped in
and gobbled enough stock to control the COM
pany. 1 hear that Samuel NJ. FELTON, ESQ, for
merly President of the Wilmington route and
still director, is to be elected director OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad, to fill vacancy, II, in
deed it has not been done already. The Read
ing managers could only want the West Chester
road as distributing line for their coal fol
which purpose 1t would be valuable. II the
Pennsylvania Central obtains the road it ma,
be set down as fixed fact that new line vii
be surveyed and built by the Baltimore interests
for their own purposes.
