NEW YORK, March 15.-The investiga-
tion by the senate committee of the alder
manic grant to Jake Sharp of the Broad
way surface railroad franchise was resumed
at ll:30 O'Clock this morning. William l..
Tallman was again called, but again failed
10 answer. Thomas Mcguire was the first
witness. lie said he went on the park police
five years ago, and resigned last March. He
was cousin of Aid. Duffy. Up to the
time he went on the police force he had no
bank account Aid. Duffy put him on the
police. He had no investments at that
time. He first opened bank account with
the Murray Hill bank when he purchased
the lots in one-hundred-and-se
street. His first deposit was $4,000,
made in December, 1884. He de-
posted during the nine or ten
months perhaps $4,000. 1t was
closed in October, 1885. The
checks were returned to him at DufTy's
Office, and he did not know what became of
them or where they were now. He did not
also know what became of the pass book.
There were ten lots in One-bundred- and
second street, which he purchased for $40. =
600 under foreclosure in December. 1854.
They previously belonged to Aid. Duffy's
wife, she getting the title from Mr.. Eiy.
He procured mortgages on all the property.
and used the money for building upon the
lots in question. The ten houses cost
$50, 600 TO build. The buildings on the
Third avenue lots cost sos. 600, Altogether
on both properties $50, 600 passed through
his hands. The Observation-Disclosures
street property was sold, some of it in Oc-
tOber and some in September. He did not
remember the names of the purchasers nor
the total amount he received for the prop
erty. The Third avenue property was sold
in January last for $780,, 900. 1t
was mortgaged for $500 He and
Mr.. and Mrs. Duffy had never had a
settlement. Mr.. Duffy was unfortunate in
business in 1888 and his property was
swept away by judgments. He did not
know how much Duff was worth at present
but he (witness) was worth $50, 600 in real
estate. He and Duffy were never sued to-
gether, he said, but recollecting himself.
added that they had been and judgments
were recorded against them. The juds-
inents were settled. He had indorsed num-
Der OF notes 1or Duffy, but did not know
the amount. On Dec. l, 1850, he made the
arrangement with Mrs. Duffy, who held in
her name tne ne-hundred-and-secon
sieet Iots' Dy which the lots should
be toreclosed, and that he should buv IL in
and build on them. He did NOT recoIIact
how the arrangement was begun. He did
not know how Mrs. Duffy he
came possessed OF the pronertv
he did not remember whether
the paSsbook at the Murray Hill bank stated
that the checks should be made PAYABLE to
Mrs. Duffy. He received neither salary
nor commission from Aid. Duny, the COM
mission being ''ahoat" yet. AT the request
OF Mr.. Conkling, officers were sent to take
the testimony of Mrs. Maloney and several
other women, whose testimony was re-
quired. The committee then adjourned nm
til Friday morning next.

AFTER THs PRIZE FIGHT.
The Authorities Determined TO Pun
ish Principals and Spectators.

feAAH AA0
NEW YORK, March 15.-Dempsey and
La Blanche and the men who managed the
prize fight were successful in evading the
WestcheSter authorities who We're trying TO
prevent the encounter. but their troubles
are yet to begin. There is a good deal of
indignation among the officers of the law
about the affair, aud they propose TO COM
mence criminal proceedings against the
principals and their aiderS and abettOTs. In
speaking of the affair to-day Judge Dyk-
man, sitting on the bench in the supreme
court at White Plains, said:
Those men must be punished, the district
attorney must pursue every man connected
with the affair. We cannot have such brutal
science enacted in our county wi thout bring
ing the violatOrs of law 10 justice. 1t is an
outrage on the community for such an affair
to occur, especially on Sunday morning.
Sheriff Duffy IS not to blame. He broke up
the affair on Thursday night and would have
broken this up IL they had not sueaked on TO
our coast in the night time. They must be
taught that they cannot come here and
fight.
The district attorney declares that he pro-
poses TO take measures for putting the
participants and spectators in Jail, as the
latter were understood TO include a cOtiere
Of club men and members of the stock ex-
change. This position of the WeStcheSter
authorities is likely to cause flutter.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Gen. Sheri-
dan to-day, speaking of the assertions
which have lately gained renewed currency,
to the effect that the celebrated general,
Won Moltke, some years ago expressed a
cOntemptous opinion of the ability of Amer
lean officers in the war of the Rebellion,
declared that these stories were entirely
without foundation, and, as one evidence of
this, he exhibited an autograph letter from
Won MOltke, of which the following is a
literal translation:
Creisan, Silesia. June Il, 1s76.-Honored
General: One of my staff officers proceeds
to Philadelphia and is desirous to utilize this
journey by meeting the celebrated men who
accomplished so much during the war, under
such adverse circumstances, as to awaken the
wonder of military men on this side of the
ocean, aud to spur them on to emulation.
Particularly will he appreciate a welcome
from your excelency, and in that wish per-
NIT myself to join expression, seizing the
same favorable opportunity TO recall myself
to you, with assurances Of distinguished re-
spect, by signing myself, Your excellency's
very devoted, COUNT MOLTKE,
Field Marshal.
