The Herald calls attention to that portion of
the Croton aqueduct above Tooth street, west of
Central Park, which has been built 81 years,
and it is said from old age to have fallen into
such bad state OF repair that one more severe
winter might utterly destroy it. Even u Sc
we're thunder storm might occasion its absolute
ruin. Leaks abound in the massive wall, and
the water is pouring out in large streams in
some places, and dripping through the areas on
the streets in summer showers. lf ..
Resignation of the Disgraced Commits
sioners.
NEW YORK, June %. Police Commissioners
Charlick and Gardiner in a long letter review
ing their case rendered their resignation to
Mayor Havemeyer yesterday. They claim to
have discharged the duties of their respective
offices to the best of their ability, and with
view to the faithful execution of the laws
They say that they resign to prevent any
trouble about questions of the legality of the
action of the board with them upon it
The Herald has a report that Charlick and
Gardiner have already been or will tomorrow
morning be reappointed to Office by the Mayor
who has the power to fill a vacancy without
confirmation of the Board of Aldermen. I'm
other words says the Herald IAN attempt is
to be made to cheat the law which imposes
the penalty of forfeiture of office for an Of
fence OF which Gardiner and Charlick have
been found guilty by the acceptance of their
designations and their reappointment before
as caused by their conviction is received from
Gov Dix. Should this effort be made, the
public patience would be exhausted and the
Mayor would probably follow his appointees
out of office"
Thieves.
Van Esten, the pardoned forger is said to
have disclosed to State officials the method by
which the State is Systematically robbed of
thousand of dollars by certain Sing Sing prison
officials who, he alleges, regularly employed
carts to carry away supplies and other goods
to be sold outside. Some think Van Esten's
pretended knowledge is ruse to obtain pardon
but an existence of frauds in the prison,
there is but little doubt.

lists under Prince Aphonso by the Republi-
cans numbering only 5000.
The Carlists OutAanked.
MADRID, Saturday evening, June 20. Gen.
Concha has made an important movement
aud secured the advantages which are confident
ly expected to lead to the fall of Estella in a
days. The Carists, anticipating an attack on
the river Ego, erected strong defensive works
in that quarter but Gen. Concha quietly cross
ed the river and occupied Abarsueza and other
positions east and north of Estela in order to
intercept the retreat of the enemy to Losame

The Carlist losses were heavy Abarzuza is a
point of the utmost importance, as it commands
a defle leading to Los Amezcuas The Car
lists will probably be forced to retire in the
province of Alava west of Navarro. Orders
have been issued from the Callist headquarters
directing all the generals to carry on the war
hereafter without truce or parey. Gen. Con-
cha on the contrary, in general orders, tells the
national troops not to make uprisals, and de-
cares that it is their mission to conquer not
eXterminate.
