Brake Patent.
The socalled Tanner car brake case was before
the senate Committee on Patents this morning.
Messrs. Bachelor and Thompson, the inventors,
ask OF Congress an extension OF this patent which
is said to be used on all passenger cars OF every
railroad line in the United States. on the ground
that they have received no adequate compensation
for its use, having been opposed by railroad COM
binatlons throughout the country and COM
penea to expend In litigation about as much
money as they received. The railroads gen.
orally oppose the movement for extern
sion, contending that the inventors have
received adequate compensation, and that the
patent is invalid by reason Of prior invention.
After the opening presentation OF the case by S. D..
C0zzens, counsel for the inventors the railroad
companies, through Mr.. William d. Bishop, Presi.
dent OF the New York and New Haven Railroad
Company, and Joseph Howard, counsel for the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company asked for post
ponement Of the case until they could have an
opportunity to consult together and decide as to
the nature Of the reply they will make to the ap-
plicaton for an extension OF the patent. The
committee accordingly adjourned the further con-
sheraton Of the matter until next Tuesday.

DAMAGE BY ICE.


One Million DOllars' Worth Of Property
Destroyed In Buffalo Harbor.
BUFFALO, JAM o. 1874
The weather and high water caused the ice in
the Buffalo River to move about eleven O'Clock
this morning piling 1t up in such force against the
Ohio street bridge as to carry away that strong
structure, sweeping ten first class vessels down
the stream and piling them in one mass against
the MICHIGAN street bridge. The bowsprits OF the,
vessels in their rapid course carried away the,
lower part or Plympton's elevator and innictedi
serious damage to the City and Niagara elevators
and completely demolished the sheds Of the New
York Central Railway Company.
The loss Is estimated at 81 ,000, 600. The damage
to PymptOn's elevator Is $4,000. The Michigan
street bridge still holds the accumulated mass, but
should 1t give way there Is no calculating tho
The following is list OF the vessels piled against
the bridge-The propeliers Fountain City and
Port Huron; sailing vessels ]. C. Harrison, Erastus
Corning, Sam Flint, X. d. Sawyer, b. F. Bruce, G..
Martin and Thomas p Sheldon. The water Is no W.
overlooking the river banks and running into the
lake through the Hamburg canal. The greatest
excitement prevails.
Precautions Against Further Damage
BUFFALO, JAM 22-Evening.
The Michigan street bridge still holds out against
the accumulated pressure OF Ice, water and vessels
Thousands Of persons visited the scene Of the dis
aster this afternoon. Every precaution has been
taken to protect property and vessels below M1chi-
gan street. It Is feared that when the water ialls
the vessels near the Bridge now lying on the plies,
Will be greatly damaged. The loss Is not as Kreae
as at first estimated.

Mr.. Ferry's Bill for Free Banking, Ex-
pansion and Redomp tton OF Fractional

stringency, introduced in the Senate by Mr.. Ferry,
OF Michigan provides for free banking. increasing
the circulation to $500 0o0 exclusive OF frac-
tional currency; providing for the issue Of bonds
bearing interest at the rate Of asS per cent;
the subtitution OF United States currency for ma
tional currency; the reissue Of the whole forty
four million reserve and the withdrawal of the

ton; but, as soon as the question OF increase il
disposed OF, he win press to vote the other pro-

Postal Relations with Franco-Prospect
OF an Equitable Treaty at Last.
Quite q stir was created this morning IN dipl0-
matte circles on reception OF the cable despatch
stating that Bismarck had sent note by which he
holds the French government accountable for the
violence of the ultramontane press In France.
The non-arrival as yet OF the coming French Minis
ter. M. Barthodi, was not calculated to alay
anxiety, for no reliable information could be OBJ
tanned on the subject The Marquis OF Noailles Is
busy, indeed with his preparations for departure.
and the other Marquis, M. De Clermont Tonnerre,
Second Secretary Of the Legation, has not yet
taken charge Of 1t. At any rate 1t was not to be
expected, under the circumstances that either
OF them should have received any spe-
cial instructions from Duke Decazes. Still,
Notwithstanding these primo yacie motives
for anxiety fears relative to impending troubles
between France and Germany did not upon re-
fection, hold in the minds OF the diplomates, who
know how really liberal are the proclivities OF the
