THE COUNTY BUILDING.

The addition of the c-Service COMMITTEES
to the Public-Bu;lding Committee to superiu-
tend the work on the new Court-House by the
County Board was little suspicious, especially
in view of the way in which the addition was
made. Since the Joint Committee has organized
By the election Of Commissioner Lonergan az
Chairman. the suspicious are increased. Mr.
Lonergan, it will be remembered Was the
one to propose and urge the selection
of Egan as architect, and he was adopted as
eucb, il reports be true, as concession to tho
irish. aud rs an inducement to them to support
Mr. Hesing for County Trcaeurer. Tho ontire
problem will reach solution after while,
The Committee On Public Service Of the
County Doard was in session yesterday to con-
slider the proposals to furnish the county with
coal for Inc coming year. Numerous e1-
amples we're examined and prices compared,
but no conclusion was reached. 1t is rumored
that some unfnir dealing is in prospect. It is
claimed that the bids we're opened several daYs
ago, aud that they have since, up to yesterday,
been IN certain Commissioners pocket, and
that other Commissioners have been denied the
privilege Of look at them. II the report is
true, it ia apparent that something is wrong.
In the first place, the bids 'are prop
erly the property OF the Joint Committees
OH Public Charities and Hospital, but this was
changed by the Board for some unknown
reason, and the matter was turned oyez to the
Public Service Committee. The action in chang
ing the reference Of the bids, and the action OF
tha Commissioner in uockoting the bids, arc
proper subjects for explanation.

that the chamber furniture would havo stood

Ills FlS1T TO E0Ah JAIL.
Tho situation was mysterious around the jail
yesterday afternoon. Reporters in their inqui-
ries for news received the usual reply,
"Nothing new," yet from what they
SAY the answer failed to satisfy their
greed for news. It Was ascertaiued. finally,
that Thomas Tiiley, recently appointed architect
for the city'a half Of the new Courthouse, was
prisoner, and that the trouble with him
WAS that be had failed to satisfy
certain Judgment hold against him: to the
amount of 159.75 by ons Edward Stende. He
was arrested about o'clock. when on the eve
OF entering bis oliice. by Constable
Murphy. On warrant issued by Justice
DNolf. Immediately after being arrested
his attorney Set about securing his release on
bail, and for that purpose s:arted for the resi-
dence Of Judge Wallace, at Washington Heights.
Alr. Iilley disclained any knowledge of
owing any such bill, and, said further,
that ho did not know tho plaintiff. He was
evidently confused, however, for in the course
Of conversation he admitted that the Judgment
had been held against him for about two
years. In tho face Of this admiesion, he
said he believed the whole transaction
was M attempt At blackmnil, and that the whole
affair WAS arranged yesterday after the adjourn
ment OF the County Court, with view to keep
ing him in jail over Sunday.
Up to u o'clock last night Mr. Iilley MAS still
ipcarpeEated.
