THE BANGS.
An Extensive Scheme OF BIackmaiI-
ing-A Pennsylvania Legislators

1AS ~ =
HARR1sBuRe, Feb. 2O.--This has been
a bad season of the Legislature for the
/ lobby. There has not been a good rake
under the operation of the new ConstItu-
ton, and loud has been the lamentations.
But a bill before the Legislature to amend
the usury laws has furnished the ground
work for an extensive scheme Of black
mail which was partially successful, and
is now undergoing investigation. A cir
cular was addressed about four weeks ago
TO all the banks of the state urging the
Importance Of this measure, and assessing
each of the banks one-quarter of one per
cent. on their capital stock to carry it
through the Legislature. This was ac-
| colnpanied BY a memorial signed by the
President of The bank Of Harrisburg invi-
ting prompt support and encouragement
TO The scheme. The circular was signed
by Z. l.. Saunders, Treasurer, and R.. L..
Gibbons, Secretary. No such persons are
known to exist.
TAKING THE BAIT.
In a short time letters containing the
drafts and checks addressed TO the above
names began to pour into the Post Office.
In q number of instances the money was
sent to bankers IN this city, with request
to turn it over to Sanders and Gibbons.
This led TO the discovery. Neither Sauu-
ders nor Gibbons could be found, but it
was ascertained that the letters addressed
to them were put in the Post Office box Of
Balton's Hotel, and on receipt at the ho-
tel were delivered by the clerk to the Hon.
VIM. II. Dimmick, Representative in the
House from Wayne county, who regular
ly laid claim to them on the arrival, 1t
was further discovered that the letters ad-
dressed to the banks are in the haud-writ-

Kreiter was Tor a long time cashier Of
the Dauphin Deposit Bank, and enjoyed
a high reputation as q business man, until
he involved the bank IN some injudicious
transactions, through which he suffered a
heavy pecuniary loss, besides the loss of
his position. Several Of the banks have
checks and drafts for delivery to Gibbons
and Saunders, and letters are still coming
to them. The Post Office department
has orders TO retain the letters. Rnmors
are in circulation tonight connecting
other members with the Transaction, but
they are not entitled to the least credit.
Much indignation is expressed this even
ing among the groups at the hotels at the
disgrace brought on the good name of the
Legislature but the Legislature will sur
vive it. A special detective of the Post
Office Department has arrived, but It is
not probable that he will be able to con-
tribute ANYTHING new in the case.

EIGHTH-AvE. RAILS.
The Commissioners of the Department OF
Parks met yesterday at sxteenthst and Unionsquare
The regular business transacted, and the question
of repairing the seawa Of the Battery was taken up
There has been appropriated for the repairing OF the
sea wall of the Battery 1880 An experiment was
made by John Bogart the Engineer Of the Department
to see whether an estimate could be made
OF the cost Of tho work. 1t was found
that the amount OF work 10 Dc done
could not be estimated until the labor had
been entered upon. AS the work was carried on, the
extent of repairs to be made would be developed gradu
ally The law requires that all work Of the Department.
that Is 10 cost than 900 shall be done by contract
But to let out such job this would in the opinion OF
the Department be very detrimental TO the best inter
ess OF the city. To make the work OF repair OF any
value it must be done with the greatest and the
Department Engineer ought TO oversee the work and
have 1t done by days labor. The Department can en-
ploy their men only eight hours day, while con-
tractor hires them for ten more. 1t would involve
perhaps less expense to do the work by contract; but
the Importance Of the work is such that the Commits
sioners feel that they will be best serving the interests
of the city by having it done well that II Will not have
TO be done again. They WILL therefore, apply to the
Common Council which can give them permission by
twothrds vote to do their work by days labor and
have the repairs by the Department Enn GER

pletion OF the improvements upon Elghth-dVe. ms

ANOTHER ARREST IN THE TURIN CASE.

ANOTHER ARREST IN THE TURIN CASE.
Detectives Van Wagner and Corr, of the
Brooklyn Central Office, Tuesday night arrested
Italian named Low Paspell in this city, who they
heard had had quarrel with Turin time before
hls death, and enemy Of the latter when he
died.
IL seems that Paspelh and Turin at time boarded
together in South Brooklyn, but that separation took
place alleged in consequence OF the former having
charged Turin with robbing him Of considerable
OF money. This accusation Turin Indignantly denied
and II believed that the bitter feeling growing Of
this trouble resulted in a mutual challenge TO mortal
combat. A hostile meeting, however, was avoided by
the OF friends and truce to have
been agreed upon between the fiery Italians Whether
not this trouble had anything TO do with the mysterious
death Of Turin cannot at present be ascertaned but
now that Paspen had been arrested the detectives will
doubt the matter 10 the bottom. The arrest OF
the missing stevedoye took place in Manglnst., near
East Houston, NewHork, at about O'Clock on Tuesday
night, and vas accomplished by Detectives Corr and
Van Wagner. They had poor description Of Paspeln
about give up chase when they accidentally saw
him walking in Mangn~st On reaching Brooklyn the
taken 10 the First Precinct Station house
where he was locked up. He denied that he had any
knowledge OF the murder aud yesterday his residence
kew-YOrk visited, but nothing was found to show
that knew anything about the murder OF TUTni IL
not claimed by the police that they any evidence
connecting hun with the murder. Coroner Wmtehill
viii resume the hearing OF the inquest this evening.
