The most conflicting rumors in regard to Ham,
ilton's whereabouts anoat in Jersey City yes
terday. The story that Hamilton had been cap
tured, as published in some OF the afternoon papers,
is pure invention. Mayor O'Neni, acting under
the authority OF the Legislature has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation:-
Whereas Alexander d. Hamilton late City Treasurer
Of Jersey City, is deiaulter said city, and
seconded with the money bonds and property city
embezzling and unlawiuy taking the same while being
Treasurer and Is fugitive from Justice, therefore,
l., Charles II. O'Neil Mayor Jersey City by virtue
of New Jersey passed and approved this day, beng
supplement to the charter of Jersey City, do
hereby, in conformity with the provisions OF said act
proclaim and Oiier reward of $1,000 tor the apprehen
and surrender of the Alexander d. Hamilton
into the custody the sheriff Of the county OF Hudson,
be dealt with according TO law. -. IL
Given under my hand ct Jersey City this lth day OF
February, 1874 CHARLES Ii. O'NEiLL Mayor.
Hamilton's example has not been lost on the
community. Peter Harley. the familiar messenger
boy long employed at the City Hall, has left for
parts unknown, leaving his board bill for three
months unpaid. When the city government passed
into the hands OF the commissions he was retained
at tue instance OF Mayor O'Neill. He sold hts war
rants Tor the past three months and was heavily In
debt, although his salary was fixed at $500 year.
Another defalcatton was reported In the Finance
Department OF the city at nine O'Clock last night,
but no positive confirmation OF the rumor could
be obtained.

CURLING HATCH 1T CENTRAL PARK.


Americo VSs Com1O8s
IL may be remembered that when certain ex-
perts In the ancient game OF curling, from Canada,
visited New York last winter. they struck terror
to the hearts or the lovers OF the 'roarin9 game"
In this vicinity by their dexrery and the ease with
which In game after game they carried on the
palm. There Is some likelihood OF the position OF
anairs being considerably altered II not entirely
reversed this season. An oner from the wen
Known "Four Brothers Club, OF Canada" to send
on payers was at once accepted by our
huriers Of the "channel stones.n yesterday
morning seven members of that club, from
Toronto and the township OF Scarboro arrived
In this city. The team Is scarcely less redOubtable
than the Toronto Red Jackets who formerly hum
bed the pride Of our local players or than the
Hamilton curriers', who ranked among the cham
pions OF the North that occasion. IL was,
therefore, with some anxiety that those interested
IN the honor or America sought the scene OF the
contest In Central Park. The preliminaries hav-
ing all been arranged against the coming OF the
expected visitors. no time was lost before the
'stones" were Drought on to the Ice out OF their
recesses, and brooms snouldered by the contes-
taDts. 1t may be explained that the Four Broth
ers CluD Is one OF those affiliated with the Grand
meeting oil tnat organization series OF matches
Is arranged or medals given by the body. The
last meeting was held IN Toronto, and there the
club whose representatives are now In this city
was pltted against the st. Andrews Club OF New
YORK. The match yesterday. therefore, lay be-
tween the strangers and the sous OF St Andrew
TOT the e. N Q. Z. medal, besides having all the in
terest OF an international contest. Play was COM
menced about noon, and was Of the most exciting
description. IL Is hardly necessary to tell OF all
the humorous aspects OF the game, the broad

tecnnicalltles OF not altogether familiar pastime.

were less sklllul than the players OF last winter or
That our own players have greatly improved IN the
interim. When time was called, at hali-paS five,
by the umpire, Mr.. Ii. L. Butler, OF Paterson, N. j.
1t was found that both sides had scored thirty

The Capmakers' Strike.

The meeting OF the Capmakers' Central Union
was not SO well attended yesterday, nor did Its
session continue so long as on other days. There
was, indeed, but little to do. Employers and en-
ployed are both severely in the sulks. and each
party Ieels that 1t is at last in the real tug OF
war. The men continue TO assert that the
"bosses" must needs give in, as the spring trade
10 full upon them and they have hundreds OF
dozens Of caps waiting to be made up for q ready
market, from winch manufacturers Will reap
golden return. The Bosses per contra endeavOr
to convince everybody that the time Tor making
up spring goods has passed, and they are deter
lockout until the refractory hands shall have
accepted the EMPLOYERS new scale OF prices. And
so tue thing goes on from bad to worse. The
longer 1t endures the worse 10 will he Tor all par
ties. Attheir meeting yesterday the men passed
another resolution, Affirming their determination
OF not going TO WORK un less their demands be fully
complied with.
The lOcKouts are about to form cooperative
society among themselves. They intend holding
the purpose OF comp letlng the organization Of
this new company.
The men seem to think that the manufacturers
are endeavorlns TO split up their organZa ton by
insnuatng that 1t Is led by ambitious or unscrupu-
lOus men; but the operatives are certain that
these, which they call vile tricks. cannot succeed
The operators and fnlshers were the classes
mainly Instrumental in rejecting the offers
from employers. These two classes OF tradesmen
manufacturers accepted only few unimpOrtant
items IN the strikers schedule, while the I'M
portant articles OF everyday use were cut down
most unmer clfuly.
