SINKING FUND COMMISSIONERS.

OPPOSITION TO THH ELEVATED RAILWAY AT
BATTERY PARK-THE CASTLE GARDEN Nu1-
sANcE.
a meeting OF the Commissioners Of the Sinking
Fund was neld in the Mayors office yesterday after.
noon. Mayor wickham Comptroller Green, Recorder
Hackett, City Chamberlain Tappen and Alderman
Reilly were present
Mayor Wickham presented an alternative mandam u.s.
which had been procured by the second highest bidder
Tor tho lease OF the New York and staten Island ferry
compelling the commission to grant the privilege IN
OF the fact that Mr. starin had failed TO comply
with the terms OF the original bid The matter re-
seferred to the Corporation Counsel for his opinion
Recorder Hackett next offered the followng:-
Whereas the Department Of Parks have control

Resolved That this commission not to- but

Mayer wickham said he would not vote for the reso
luton unlcss II was rst submitted to the Corporation
Recorder Hackctt expressed surprise that the Mayor
not aware of the iact that the Sinking Fund Com
nissioncrs had entire control of this matter. Tho
Battery belonged 10 the city, and the commission was
Its custodian. II the Elevated Railway Company re-
fused TO out they should DO put out by the usual
statutory proceeding The Recorder argued strongly
In favor OF tho immediate passage OF his resolution.
Comptroller Green also spoke in support OF tho
points raised by Recorder Hackctt He aston
khed that the Park commissioners had gone SO far
out OF their way IN authorizing railroad to take pos
session ofany part OF tho city. They were spending
millions IN opening places up town while closing up
thc breathing spots down town. They had no author
iy to DO this and violation OF the cys rights
In protecting public property. The appropriation OF
part OF the Battery Park be used by the Elevated
Railway was great outrage. On the same principle
railroad might as we'll be run through tho Central
Park.
Mayor wickhani again urged the necessity for send
ing the matter before the Corporation Counsel
Recorder Hackett-l am surprised that the Mayor OF
great city like this should be ignorant OF the law in
relation to public property.
Alter some further discussion the preamble
rred to the Corporation Counsel and the resolutions
laid upon the table Comptroller Green and Recorder
Hackstt voted against this disposition of NATTER
while Mayor wckham, Chamberlain Tappcn and Al.
derman Reilly voted In the Affirmative
A resolution was then passed requesting the Comp
iroer TO furnish statement OF the of
due from the Commissioners OF Emigration for rent Of
premises used by them on the Battery.

MINER KILLED.-On Sunday after
noon another one of those distressing
accidents occurred in the Rock Isl
and mine, which illustrates more
forcibly than words the dangers Of
mining At the time stated George
II. Mayo was on the three O'Clock
shift and went down in the shaft
to the 450-foot level to take out some
old timbers. He had scarcely begun
work when "a great mass of rock and
dirt caved down on him, killing him,
it is supposed, instantly. A large
force of men were Immediately set
to work to extricatc him, but the
ground continued to cave to such a
degree that new timbers had to be
put in place, and it was after eight
O'Clock before the body was recov
cred. Mr.. Mayo leaves young

A FAILURE.-An article in the
last issue of the "Sutro Independ-
ent" plainly indicates that their at
tempt to levy blackmail assessments
against the North Carson mine was
an ignominious failure. The mine
in question is good one, and able
to stand upon its merits, and has not
yet found the enterprise sufficiently
precarious to establish newspaper
to weakly chronicle its spasmodie
efforts at existence.

STRUCK WATER. - On Sunday
night stream of water was struck
in the Dayton mine in the north
drift on the 500-foot level. The
flow was consi cradle fdr a time,
but only caused suspension of
work in the shaft for short time.
1t being the intention OF the fore :
man to start the men to work there
last night. Any uneasiness which
might he felt concerning the amount
OF water, and the ability Of the
pumps to handle it, was merely
oosh. The machinery and pumps
are powerful and during the flow
did not exceed seven strokes per
minute, while they will run fifteen
without any damage thereto.

The asylum at Staunton has always
been considered as the model institution
of the country; but we find that with but
$50 patients there, costing per capita,
per week, S4.lO; the Superintendent ro-
ccives salary of $4,000, and has two as
sistants, each of whom receive $1,000.
At our asylum, however, with 1893 pa
tients, kept at a cost per capita, per
week, of 1888, the Superintendent re-
ceives salary of but $4,000, and has
but one assistant, at salary OF 81 ,5OO.
The Intelligent reader by acomparison
of the cost Of keeping the insane in this
as compared with other States, will
readily agree with us that they have no
reason to complain, as the management
of the West Virginia Hospital for the In
sane.
The contract for supplying the Hos
pital with beef, until March 30th, 1877,
was awarded to p. NJ. HALE, at cents
per pound. Messrs. BRADBURY, KITsoN
Il Woop, of Weston, were the lowest bid
ders for the construction of the colored
asylum, engine house, &c, the contract
therefore was awarded 10 them. 1t Is un-
derstood that the erection of these build
ings will be commenced at once, and
that the colored insane will be admitted
ms soon rs possible. The jails of the
State, as we are informed. are now, for
the first time IN our history, relieved OF
all the insane heretofore confined there,
and the liberality of our Legislature has
provided tor all these uniortunates,
without regard to race, home where
they will be well cared for, and every ef-
fort used to amclioratc their condition or
effect cure.

OUGHT not the jurisdiction and power
of the Municipal Court in criminal causes
be enlarged, Is a question suggested by
the punishment imposed by the Police
Court of this city, upon the parties en-
gagged in the shooting ARRAY on Monday
evening. Municipal government is, or
ought to be, for the protection of life and
property.
Yet it does not seem that these ends
are promoted, when crowd of drunken
men shall assemble in saloon on one OF
our principal thoroughfares and engage
In an indiscriminate shooting, wounding
each other, and endangering the lives of
men, women and children who may be
passing along the street, and then re
ceive as She maximum punishment,
light fine Of twenty dollars-the same
penalty imposed upon common tramp
who may be found drunk on the street.
The question of extending to the city
judge the power to commit offenders
against the city ordinances to a work
house for one or two years, has been fire.
quently suggested, and we submit that
the present is an appropriate time for the
consideration of the subject.

various wards in the Hospital, the Board
expressed themselves as highly pleased
with the condition of the patients ana
buildings, ana compliment the officers
upon their efficiency, prudence and
economy.
1t may not be out of the way to Illus
trate, by way Of comparison, the cost OF
keeping patients, the number of physi-
clans, and the salaries thereof, in various
institutions in this country, that have
become celebrated for their efficiency ana
usefulness; and from the statistics given
below, it will be found that such COM
parison is very gratifying to the tax
PAYERS of this State. DR.. CAMDEN, with
DR.. KUNsT as his assistant, perform duties
that require three or more physicians IN
all other insane hospitals, while their
salaries are less; and to US it is q matter OF
regret that such efficient public servants,
whose efforts result In the saving OF
many thousands Of dollars annually TO
the State, and who devote their whole
time to the onerous duties imposed upon
them, do not receive salary commen-
surate with their services.
We invite the attention of tho reader
to the following statistics:
