The Steamer City of New York Cause

The Steamer City of New York Causes
More disappointment.
New YORK, Sept. 20.-The new Inman
liner City OF New York was lated to ere
ate fresh disappointment yesterday. The
would-be racer was booked to start at 4
o'clock p. m. Long before that hour all
her passengers were on board, accompa-
MED by hundreds OF their friends.
As it neared the sailing time the gong
sounded and the cry "All ashore!" re-
sounded throughout the ship. The leave
takers all rushed the head OF the pier,
climbed upon the piles, got out their
handkerchieis and flags, and made ready
10 give passengers and steamer an enthu.
siastic send.oH.
The delay was long, but every one
waited patiently, expecting every mo-
ment to see the big ship move gracefully
out from her dock. The White Star
steamer Adriatic and the fleet German
steamer Saafe had long turned their
prows seaward, but the Inman liner gave
no signs Of casting of her lines. After
waiting at the end Of the pier nearly an
hour, one OF the subordinate officers OF
the steamer shouted to the weary leave
takers to go home, as the steamer was
not going to sail.
Passengers and leave.takers were thor.
oughly disgusted, and were not afraid to
say what they thought. Many Of the
passengers became alarmed and feared
that something serious was the matter
with the engines. Agent, Wright, who
was at the dock, explained that the dam
nge to the ships engines on her last voy-
age across had not been wholly repaired,
and it was decided of the last moment
not to put the vessel to sea until her en-
gines are in thorough order. Mr.. Wright
said that everything would be repaired
during the night and that the steamer
would sail at o'clock this morning.
This explanation satisfied the passen-
gers, but they thought they should have
been told before.

Special pispatchto to TIC EtcsligeHeer.
WAsnISeToN, D. c., Sept. 2O.-The
Ewing case reached District Attorney
Hoge from the Office of the Solicitor Of
the Treasury this morning. Judge Hoge
is now considering the interesting legal
question raised by the bondsmen, viz:
First Comptroller Durham having neg
lected to execute the law which requires
him to make settlement Of the short
ages OF disbursing officers within three
years, tho bondsmen are entitled to
credit for the additional shortage occurr-
ing after three years. They take the
ground that il Durham had done his
duty, the shortage would have been but
5000, whereas continued speculations
through the negligence OF Durham in
creased the amount to oyer $1,000.
