with the frost of an emphatic denial by
Drs. Shrady and Sands, who declare that
they never gave the General any brandy
and have no knowledge of the other al

DoCK BOARD PROCEEDINGS.

At meeting Of the Dock Board Yesterday Mr..
Laimbeer asked that the occupants of the building
near the pier at seventy nnth-st. and the Notin
River be requested, 20 remove the building, and
that the engineer be instructed to see that 1t was
removed The building Mr., Lalmbeer sad,
was on city ground but no rent had been paid Tor
il for five years. 1t was used he SAID, as drink
ing resort and he had become disguised with the
manner in winch IL was conducted lie did not
know how it had been permitted 10 remain there so
long unless the political influence OF the
women who had charge of it had been
used to secure the clemency of the Board
President Stark said that this was his
first knowledge of the matter and Mr.. Lalmbecr
replied that he had before called the attention Of
the Commissioners TO the circumstances more
strongly than be did this time. HIS request was
granted. Mr. Lambeer presented a resolution stat
lrOperty were 500 600 less in 1854 than they were
under leases made by public auction as the law
directs There was no evidence. the resolution
said that the general shipping interests were bet
ter served than when open TO all who might want
wharf property. He asked that list be prepared
OF the property which the leases would expire on
NAV, 1855.
Mr. Stark and Mr.. Voorhis objected to the state
ments in Nh. Laimbeers resolution, claiming that
the commerce of the city is better accommodated
by the present system which sells the piers lndl-
vidualy and prevents speculation IN the wharf
property The difference in the receipts
Tor last year Is accounted for, they
argued by the general depression in business
Mr. VoOrnis amended the resolution of Mr. Lam
beer by one which simply stated that list OF the
leases which expire on May ! should be prepared
by the secretary aud the sale set for March l6.

THE GAMBLING-HOUsE RAID.

The raid on the gamblIng-hOuses was much
talked about at Police Headquarters Yesterday.
Officials spoke of it with evident satisfaction, yet
with so much caution as to convey an impression
that there was to be an important sequel TO the
latest detective exploit. Their mysterious talk
gave color to rumOr that the work OF the detec-
tlves was to be used IN some manner against SUI
perlntendent Walling. 1t was said that the Com
inissioners had asked Mr.. Wallng TO retire because
they wished to promote Inspector Murray. Find
ing that he wOudnot yield TO their persuasion, 1t
was asserted, they had decided TO place him In a
position TO be Inundated and thus force him to
apply for a pension. The rumOr was contradicted
by one of the Commissioners, who told 1RIBUNE
reporter that no movement against MI.
WaIhng had been contemplated by the
board. This movement against the gamblers"
he said "Is not to end With the raid of last night,
and for that reason il will not do to speak too freely
ABOUT it now; but can tell you that Mr. Wallings
mart in il is highly creditable to him." Supern-
feudent Waking said he was not willing TO talk
about the raid. Regarding the rumo, that he was
