she was not able to sleep soundly and would 9fen
start up IN the night, fancying that sue neaIu ~
sounds of thieves breaking IN through tne

RELEASED AND REARREsTED.

THE BRAZILIAN COUNTERFEITERS DECLARED GUILT
less or CRIME UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STAIR.
Justice Van Brunt in Supreme, Court, Chambers,
Yesterday, rendered decision in the case of the
two Brazilian fOrgers, Bebelagua and Sanabra,
who were before the Court on Monday on a writ of
habeas corpus Justice Van Brunt said that after
mature consideration be had come 10 the conclusion
that the men had committed no offence against the
laws of the State of York. and that the fact Of
their having enTavings in their possession could
not be construed into an attempt at forgery under
the statute relating to forgery. The statutes were
defective, and the men could not be held undor
them They had not attempted to afiiX any sigma
lures to the bills, and therefore not guilty OF
attempting to forge any instrument in writing
which purpOTted TO be the act of another. After
expressing regret az his inability to hold che pris-
oners Justice Van Bunt said that he must grant
the motion of the prisoners counsel that they be
discharged.
On leaving the courtroom. however, the two men
were rearrested by Detectives Field and OConnor,
of the Distrct-Attorney's Office a bench war
rant under an Indictment found on Monday last by
tho Grand Jury, charging Sanabria and Bebelagua
with forgery in the third degree. Mr.. Howe, conn
sci for the prisoners then made O motion before
Judge Gllderseeve, in the Court of General SEES
Van Brunts decision refusing TO hold the prisoners.
MIR. Bell. in behalf Of the District Attomey, asked
that the motion be delayed until to-day. Judge
Gilderseeve said that he would listen to the argu-
ments at II a. III. to-day Justice Van Brunt subse-
quently issued a writ of oeTtiOrar and habeas
corpus in the case Of the two men, returnable to-
morrow.

RAPID TRANSIT IN YVES lCuES lEh OOUNIl l.
M a meeting of the directors of the West Side
and Yonkers Elevated Railroad Company the fol-
lowing officers were elected: Charles +. Woeris-
hotter. president; Anthony J. Thomas, treasurer,
and Calvin Goddard, secretary. This company has
been organized recently under the provisions of the
Rapid Transit act, for thei purpose of building an
elevated railroad on the route designated In the
port of the Rapid Transit Commissioners as the
Harlem River, Kingsbridge and Riverdale route.
The line begins at point of connection with the
West Side line of the Manhattan Company, and
after crossing the Harlem River to the left,
passing near the north end of High Bridges 1t then
continues in a northeTly direction to the City Of
Yonkers For more than two miles the line cOinci
dent with the route of the New-York City and
Northern Railroad. The latter company was organ
lied in February, 1878, and its line from High
Bridge to Brewster's is now under construction.
For more than half Of the distance the track is laid
areaJy and IL is expected that the road Will be open
for public travel by November. AT BrewsteTs II
will connect with the New York and New-England
Railroad, forming with ii through line to Boston.
For some months it has been the aim of its officers
to secure connection with the West-Slde Branch
Of the Metropolitan Elevated Railroad. Inc FORM
alton by the Commissioners of Rapid Transit of the
Yonkers Company has afforded, II IS believed, the
reouired connection. The stock OF the new COM
pany has been subscribed largely by the friends of
the New-YOrk and Northern Company. lts PRESIDENT
Robert NJ Galloway, is one of the directors OF the
West Side and YOnkers Elevated Railroad; its sec
rotary and treasurer holds the same Offices III the
new company, while majority OF the directors OF
the new company are directors or lIlends OF the
New-YOTk and Northern Road. ~
The construction of the new elevated road Will be
begun as soon as the company receives proper
authority. 4 bridge across the Harlem River will
be built in time to give the Northern Road on its
completion, direct connection with the present ele-
waited railroad on Elghth-aVe.

THE ITALYs PILOT SUSPENDED.

The Pilot Commissioners concluded their investi-
CATION Yesterday as to the of the collision be-
tween the steamships Italy and Canada, of the
National Line, last month off the Battery. Captain
Sumner, of the Canada and now commanding the
Italy, in his testimony stated that his vessel
going at speed of about four knots when the Italy
came up on his staTboard beam at the rate of ten
knots an hour. and then the pilot changed the
course of the vessel and attempted to cross the
Cauadas bow, when the collision occurred. X. s.
Rigby and Thomas FoOte, first and second officers
of the Canada, cOrrObOrated Captain Summers
statements. James Robertson, chef engineer, and
Joseph Roberts, first officer OF the Italy, their
testimony regarding the collision, but were unable
to give an opinion as to whom the responsibility
should rest upon
James OSullIvan pilot of the Italy, testified that
the Canada was ahead of and in the course of the
Italy picking her way through the feet of vessels
living at anchor off the Battery, when the Italy
rounded under her stern and came up abeam of the
Canada lie paid no further attention to her move
ments until the Canada's bow struck the Italy
abreast of the port mlzzen rigging No allowance
was made for the suction by the displacement of
water by the two vessels. After considering the
evidence, Pilot OSullivan was suspended by the
Board for ,hree months from date. He was not
satisfied with the decision of the Board and thought
that if the testimony OF the captain and third Off
Ger of the italy, at the time of the collision, could
have been heard, it would have been in his favor.

STEWART & CO.'S DOWNTOWN STORE.
The Stewart Building, at Broadway, Chambers
and Reade-sts., was yesterday brought again into
prominence by the report that it had been leased
by Field, Letter & Co.. of Chicago and New-York

this time many rumoTs have been current concern
ing it. At one time the report was that John
Waunamaker of Philadelphia, had leased it. An
other story was TO the effect that IL was TO be
turned into hotel Colonel Dodge. who has charge
of the real estate of A. L. Stewart d Co.. said yes
terday that there was no truth in these reports.
Though q number of firms had made application to
lease the block, Field. Letter 81 Co. being among
them, no definite action had yet been taken III
the matter. Ii IS probable, he said that the build
ing will not be rented TO any one firm, but will be
remodeled into cOmmOdiOus offices. Carefully
drawn designs for this purpose have recently been
made, and are now under consideration These
proposed changes will shape the interior of the
block very much like that Of the BOreel Building,
Nos. 115 and III Broadway. a wide court. ex-
tending FROM the front to within twenty feet of the
rear will give light to each floor. Elevators and
stairways TO be placed at the side of this court
The ground floor, well as each story, will be
used exclusively for Offices. 1t is stated that Mr.
Stewart had this change IN mind AZ future posi-
bility when constructing the building.
