THE TWEED INVESTIGATION.
rhe tx-ness Premises to Reveal ALL.

NEW YoBK, Sept. GA special committee OF
the board of Aldermen, entrusted with the
investigation Of the Tweed Ring frauds, held
a session this afternoon. A large number Of
office holders and local politicians were pres
ent.
VIM. NJ. Tweed and counsel, John D. Town
send. were on hand, and the examination of
Tweed commenced. From the beginning 1T
was evident that Tweed intended to unravel
a great deal He said that he had held o
great many offices of trust, and enumerated
them all. He was q member Of the Board of
Supervisors in 1870. A combination was
formed whereby Democrats got possession of
the inspection of elections.
A Republican member, John r. VOORHEES,,
agreed to stay away from the meeting Of the
supervisors and allow the Democrats to elect
whoever they pleased as inspectors. This
was the origin of the combination in the Board
OF Supervisors. Mr.. VOORHEES, was paid S25o0
for absenting himself from the meeting.
The counsel for the committee then ques-
toned Tweed about his connection with other
ring matters, and the examination was adj
tiourned to next Wednesday, owing to the ILL.
ness OF Tweeds counsel.

had been sealed with wax, which had melted

possible to decipher the address
In one bag there were about five hundred

the melting Of the wax had fused them into
an inseparable mass By the great care oi

and forwarded. These mails are supposed to
have become overheated by being carelessly

the men on some Of the Western leased lines
Of the Pennsylvania Central road have not

New YORK, Sept. GA deputation of ten
striking Scranton miners who came on here
for that purpose had an interview to-day
with President Sloan of the Delaware, Lacka-
wana and Western Railroad, relative to the
grievances of striking miners. Sloan re-
ceiyed the deputation kindly, and short CON
versation was held. Sloan told them he could
do nothing with them while they were on a
strike, and that any amicable arrangements
between them and the company would have
to be made when the men were at work
At the request Of the deputation Sloan put
his decision in writing, and the men will re
peat to their brethren in Hyde Park, Scran-
ton, the decision of the company. When
the men quit, the company was paying, it de-
clares, more to its employees and laborers than
it could afford. The men now demanded an
Increase of twenty-five per cent, knowing
that the company could not and would not
accede to their demands. The company was
willing at present to consider any grievances
not based upon the question of wages, and
when the price Of coal would warrant it to
treat with them regarding an increase of
wages. The men having stopped work with
out any just cause, the company could
not negotiate with them until work was
resumed IN all the collieries Of the company,
