THOUGHT SHE WAS AN AQUA
Rum.

Five years ago Hester Brown, color
ed woman, who lived in Harlem, New
York. became convinced that there was
reptile of some kind in her stomach.
She soon became local celebrity. Ply
slcians who examined her were divided
on the snake question, and long reports
were printed in the newspapers giving
the views of the snake and anti-snake
parties. The women has been sick for
long time of consumption. Monday she
died. A post mortem examination show
ed the woman had been under a delusion
There were no snakes or reptiles of any
kind, not even a frog, aud therefore the
anti-snake party of the region are in
good spirits.

THE RING THIEF'S TESTIMONY

Andrew j. Garvey, the famous plaster
er and decorator, of Tammany ring dis
tinction, testified before the aldermanic
investigating committee yesterday. He
told his old story over again, how his
bills were increased 15, 80, 45 and on to
10 per cent. for the benefit of the ring,
though he averred that for himself he
never got any more on his city work than
he earned. He did work also on the pri-
vate houses of Walter Roach, Tweed
Connolly and others, for which the city
paid. For work he did for Connolly on
his splendid mansion on Fifth avenue
the city paid SPAS, ,406, of which he re-
ceived $119,972, the balance going to the
ring in percentages. The real value of
the work done on Connolly's house was
between $4,000 and 100000. He did
private work for Tweed to the amount
of 100000. Hugh Smith $4,000, and
others for various amounts, all of which
came out of the city treasury. The total
amount drawn fraudulently from the
city by the instrumentality of his con-
tracts would probably be $l,500,000. He
had given checks for over $S00,000 to
the board of audit, and $4,000 to pool
to affect the Legislature in 1870, when
Connolly told him the Legislature would
cost them 81, 900, 900 for that year alone

HEAVY DEFALcATION

James V. Maginn, lawyer of this city,
and Secretary of the Chester and Up
land Building Association, was arrested
| on Friday last upon warrant sworn out
by X. M, johnson, Esq, a stockholder in
that association. At hearing before
Squire Preston, at Media, on Saturday
last, he was held in the sum of 81, 500 for
his appearance at Court. As far as we
can learn, the facts of the case are as
| follows This association was organized
some fourye1rs ago, and it has been quite
prosperous during that period. Two
other building associations have been
merged into it. A large majority of the
stockholders in THESE associations are
! mech mics and working men, where saw
ings have been made through thorough
system OF economy in their living. Some
nine months ago a suspicion began to
grow that something was wrong with the
Secretary's accounts, and in August last
| an Auditing Committee was appointed
| to investigate them. In the exereise of
their duty they soon discovered compli~
cations and discrepancies in the accounts
that indicated large deficiency in the
returns of the Secretary. With this
| nowledge the managers of the associa~
| tion proceeded to secure what property
| they could that was held by Maginn.-
They also took his bond for $1,000. Mr..
Maginn has for several years been a
large speculator in real estate IN this city
and county, and not being q man of any
considerable capital, the question often
occurred, where the money to purchase
came from? The sequel shows the source
from whence it came. The estimated
| amount that the association will receive
over the mortgages on his property will
be some two or three thousand dollars.
This will leave a deficiency of some four
thousand dollars, equal to about one
tenth OF the whole capital stock of the
company. D. M. Johnson's evidence,
together with the books of the company,
as kept by Mr.. Maginn. showed discrep~
ancy sufficient to justify the justice in
holding Maginn for trial at the next
term Of Court. The great number of
defalcations in building associations, as
well as other monetary organizations
throughout the country, should be suffi-
cient warning to stockholders and depos-
itors to look carefully after their finan
cial interests. Mr.. johnson, IN his effort
to put a stop to the reckless manner in
which the business of building associa
tions have been conducted, is entitled to
the support of all persons who desire
an honest representation of the interest
of stockhol lers.-Chester "Pdper."

WASHINGTON, Nov. q, 1877.
AN EvENTFUL DAY IN coNGREss-A DEM
ocRATlC VICTORY IN THE SENATE
REPUBLICAN TACTICS TO RETAIN POWER
PROSPECTS OF THE SILVER AND ANTI
RESUMPTION BILLS.
To-day has been an extremely interest
ing day in Congress. In the Senate the
republicans were defeated for tbs first
time in sixteen years, and the event has
had q singularly depressing effect on
many of the republican Senators. They
have seen power gradually slipping from
their hands during the last six years of
maladministration and laundering but to-
day, for the first time in the memory of
most of them, they actually found them
selves in a minority.
Especial to the Baltimore Sun.I
WASHINGTON, Nov. 81.
The Senate to day was occupied for the
greater part of the session with the mo-
ton of Mr.. Thurman to discharge the
| committee on privileges aud elections
| of Mr.. Butler, of South Carolina.
Mr. Thurman made motion to adjourn,
which Mr.. Conkling asked to be a test
vote and 1T was carrid by 30 to .. OF
| the Senators whose votes have been con-
sidered doubtful on the contested cases.
M essrs. Christiancy and Matthews voted
with their party associates in the mega
tive. Mr.. Conover voted with the demo-
Gratis in the affirmative, giving them tho
| one majority. There were six pairs,
Messrs. Anthony, Blaine, Edmunds,
Cameron of Wisconsin, Ferry and
Plumb, republicans, with Messrs. Ran
som, Grover, Cockrell, Herman, Maxey
and Armstrong, democrats. This left
only two votes unaccounted fol, and both
republicans, Mr.. Sharon, who is supposed
to be In San Francisco, and Mr.. Patter-
son, who was in attendance in court,
where his habeas corpus case was being
beard before Judge Humphreys. There
seems now to be no further question that
Mr.. Patterson will vote for the admission
of Mr. Butler, and all the preliminary mo-
tions looking to that object.
A member of Mr.. Patterson's family
states that prominent conservative Off
Gals of South Carolina now here, and
who for personal reasons are anxious
that Mr.. Butler should not be admitted,
Will make an effort tomorrow to detain
Patterson in court, SO that he will not be
present when the vote is taken in the
Senate. There were freely banded
charges tonight that the desertion of Pat
terson and Conover from their party as
sociates had been secured through bar
gain, but such charges are very natural
under the circumstances.
Florida republicans tonight express
their confidence that on the final vote
Senator Conoyer will not separate from
his party. They say that he is only CO.
quoting with the democrats for purposes
of his own with reference to the federal
patronage in Florida.

THE PRESIDENT ON THE SILVER
QUESTION.

New YORK, Nov, 21.-The Posts
Washington's dispatch says: "Hhe Pres
ident in conversation with prominent
officer within forty-eight hours declared
unhesitatingly that he would veto any
silver bill which does not expressly ex-
cept the public debt from its operations
He will not approve any measure which
has the slightest tendency to Impair the
national credit or to cause the holders of
national securiiles to think that they will
be paid in currency of less value than
gold. He will sign a modified bill, but
he is strongly opposed to an unlimited is-
sue of silver. 1t can be said authoritive-
ly that the President and Secretary Sher-
man are in accord on the question.
