THE SEVERED HAND.

About the end OF January, more than
twenty years since, DR.. Lisfranc, cele-
brated surgeon of Paris, was returning
to bis house at eleven o. clock at night.
He had reached his door, and had
raised the knocker, about to give warn
ing to the maid in attendance Of his
arrival, when a vigorous arm stopped
his own half way, and at the same time
three masked figures surrounded the
astonished doctor. The street was de-
serted, the doctor had no arms by him,
and. wisely judging that resistance
would prove unavailing, he sought to
escape from the hands Of the banditti
by the sacrifice Of his purse, when the
man who held his arm addressed him
very politely, saying:
Il believe you are DR.. Lisfrancp'' .
You seem to be acquainted with my
person." replied the doctor. s.Take,
then, my purse and watch trouble me
not longer. but get you gone to more
honest work. .
!" Sir,'' said the man, haughtily, 8 we

pose, !" said the doctor, mistrustfully.

The letter was put into the Counts

In q short time Napoleon returned to
Paris; but he was very much altered.
Grief and despair had proved upon his
heart, for he mad heard of his misfor-

The day after his arrival small

had been brought by servant in livery.
He opened it. His horror and anguish
might more easily be imagined than de-
scribed. The casket contained q bloody

THE DETECTIVES, WORK.

CAPTAIN KEALY AND HIS ASSOCIATES REJOICING
OVER THE RESULTS OF THEIR WORK.
The manner and completeness Of the arrest Of this
hand of counterfeiters was tho theme of congratu-
lation at the Central Police Office yesterday, the
honors being divided between Mr.. Goodall, on the
civilian side, and Captain Kealy and Detectives
King and Lyon as the officials The particulars, as
detailed by Captain Kealy, arc as follows'
On Monday night met Mr. Goodall by appoint
ment at o'clock, the corner of Thirtyeighth-
ST.. and Sixth-aye third person was of the party
whose name l cannot disclose, but who has rem
dered us the greatest assistance throughout the
whole of this case. We will call him the Unknown.
From the close watch kept over the movements of
the counterfeiters we knew it to be their last
night in New-York. for they intended to sail
by the City of Rio JaneiTo on the following
morning We judged from the age and character
of the that they would set up late, and we had
determined to catch them In their rooms. Accord
ingly we parted with the understanding that we
should meet again at IL o'clock in the vestbule of
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, had Detectives King
and Lyon waiting for me at the Royal Hotel, and
others watching the Grand Central Hotel, where
sanabria had his room.
We made our calculations to arrest Bebelsgua
first in the Twenty fourth-st. house, and then bag
Sanabria afterward. At the hour appointed / met
Mr. Goodall. and we started for the house where
we expected to find only Bebelagua. But we were
moro fortunate IN finding both birds in one cage.
They were sitting together in Bebelaguas room with
two open trunks, one of which contained clothing.
and the other the paper 10 be used In printing the
counterfeit notes. We also found roll of the notes
themselves, which Bebolagua intended taking with
him TO Brazil. Both pen were completely taken by
surprise and appeared very crestfaen at their cap
ture just when they thought they had eYcSPsd de-
cbayge of King and Lyon with instructions to take
them in privately by tho Mpttst ent[anfe and

THE KENTUCKY ELECTION.

REPUBLICANS GAIN IN THE LEGIsIATURE-A LARGE
FAILING OFF IN THE DEMOCRATIC VoTE-No
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION To BE CALLED.
LOUISVILLE, Aug 5.-The special dispatches re-
ceived by The Courie-Jorna! indicate falling off
Of the Democratic vote cast az yesterdays election
for State officers and members Of the Legislature.
The Democratic Central Committee estimates the
total vote cast at not over 2OOO0O-a fall
ing off of nearly 10000 on the Tilden-
Hayes vote, aud of over 1900 on the
last Gubernatorial vote. In this city alone
the vote has fallen off 5000. The Republicans
make slight gains in the Legislature and defeat the
Speaker of the last House, bat the Democratic ma
jorty is still overwhelming In the General
Assembly. The proposed call for a Constitutional
Convention was defeated for want of constltu-
tonal majority in its favor In this city, where the
WorlIingmen elected five Of tho seven State Repre-
sentatives two years ago, none but Democrats were
elected yesterday. The Greenbackers cut no figure
in the contest.

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRBUNE.I
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The report of General
John Newton, who is in charge of the river and
harbor improvements in and about New-York City,
has been received at the War Department for the
fiscal year ending June 30 1879.
With reference to Diamond Reef, upon which
there has been vast amount of work, General New
ton saws that it contains about and half acres,
and is covered for the greater portion of its surface
by formation of clay. gravel, sand and boulders,
m n concerted mass, through which the bedrock
occasionally projects. Tho work has not been
hitherto regularly conducted. A drilling scow has
been put TO work upon the outlying portions of the
bedrock. IL was finally determined to opera
tons and pursue them steadily until the whole
should be reduced to proper level.
After Frying Pan" in Hell Gate shall have been
removed, the next work viii be upon " Pot Rock"
which will conclude the channel reefs enumerated
in the original report. 1t is designed first to exca
vate under the lower portion of the middle reef, in
cluding Negro Head, as by this operation alone a
great step toward "a radical Improvement Will nave
been accomplished. The amount OF rock excavation
has been small for the past year, owing TO the ne
cessity of purchasing and establishing an entirely
new plant, but the larger facilities now furnished
will insure quick progress ,
The sum of $2 ,07S viii be required for the
completion of the existing project. Inc amount
which can be effectively used III the 5ca year end
ing June 80, 1881, and which Is asked for, ID
$4,000.
General Newton's report Is accompanied by the
renorts of several subordinate engineer officers,
giving fine details of the work performed III the VI
,ciuity of New York during the year.
