8 BEFORE KELLY and DOWLING. The calendar yesterday was unusually heavy, there Were 45 cases f Or disposition. The excisfe law has swelled up, (he Court business unnecessarily, but when the, is properly understood, if it remains uncharged, cases of violation will be of rare occur rence The excise law is S3O for the first ofience, SSG for the second offence and the third and follow ing offences, imprisonment as well as fine may be im posed. TRIALS FOB VIOLATING THE EXCISE LAW. M chael Coffee was charged with selling spirituous liquors without a license, by officer Wm. Burns of ihe Nineteenth Precinct. Defendent was found dis posing of liquors in his store, Forty-Ninth street »nd Second avenue, on a Sunday evening without a license. His bartender had been tried before that for this offense, now Coffee was up himself. He had not Eot a license he said but had made application for it. [e was fined SSO. Daniel Sheehan was charged with tho same offense t>y officer Burns. The proof was that th.© liquor was exposed for sale on a Sunday between 9 and 10 o’clock in the evening. The bar-room being lit-up led the officer to enter. Sheehan's place was in First avenue, between Fifty-Ninth and Sixtieth streets. Tho door Was locked but tho knock of the officer opened it. This being the second offence a fine of SSO was im posed. John D, Tinker failed to appear when called and his bail ?ras forfeited, but later in the day he ap peared and presented himself for trial. He was found guilty of selling liquor without a license and fined S3O, thus relieving the bondsman. Catharine Kelly was charged with the same offence by Officer McArthur, of the Twenty-third Precinct. She failed to appear, and hnr bond was forfeited, and a bench-warrant was issued for her arrest. AN EXTRA EFFICIENT OFFICER. The case of Thomas Gilbert, charged with the same Offence by policeman Henry B. Duffy, showed more than usual activity on the part of an officer. The Charge was opening tho bar at twenty minutes before ?evon, when tho sun rose at five minutes past seven, Fitness said: Defendant has a license; it is exposed in his bar; I found the place open at eighteen min- Stos to seven on the morning of the 7th. At twenty vo minutes before seven tho same morning, I ar rested Aaron Pierson for the same offense; ho ob jected to being arrested, but I took him along to the fetation-house in Chambers street, from near Vesey in Washington, made the complaint against him, and rotumea and arrested the defendant at eighteen minutes before seven, after having traveled five blocks-each way, or ten blocks in all, inside of seven fniputes. In the wrangle on making the first arrest about two minutes were lost, and about two minutes mor a Were lost in preferring the charge at the station hous). The ten blocks, or about half a mile, were made in three minutes. Judge Kelly, who is a judge Of horse and human flesh, thought the time was un usually good for a policeman, ana doubting the possi bility of its being made, acquitted the prisoner. A BEER BUT NOT A WHISKY LICENSE. John Shiell has a license to sell beer, but not a {icense to sell whisky. He was charged with having iquors exposed for sale. The officer saw no liquors sold, or offered for sale, but he saw bottles there that he supposed contained the ardent. A verdict of ac quittal was rendered. SICKNESS IN THE FAMILY. Thomas Shatter admits that he keeps a grocery •tors; officer Thomas Doyle says ho keeps liquor for sale beside, without a license; Shatter says he keeps it, but only for family use. A friend in the family got Bick and he did give out a pint of tim officer Doyle saw and reported. Shatter’s nerves were somewhat unstrung when he was told to shell out S3O. ALL ABOUT A HOLE. Some queer papers lie roosting in pigeon holes. In the pigeon-holes of lawyers and editors, aye, in the pigeon-holes of the District-Attorney’s office, if we go far enough back, even against men who now hold very high beads; but of that we will not now speak. The hole we speak of is somewhat larger than a gimb let hole, made by detectives to discover evidence in crim. con. cases. This hole in question is about two feet by three, and can be seen any day in the res taurant of Henry Muler, in Chatham street. The restaurant in question is of the ordinary appearance, and is partitioned off from the cook-house. Behind this partition there is a stove, cooking utensils and a bed. To connect the restaurant with the cook-house there is this pigeon-hole, through which the food to be masticated is shoved to the waiter outside. It was claimed that on Saturday evening the “ contraband” was thrust through the hole in question to the cus tomer. For instance: if a customer should call for a beefsteak well done, that was understood to mean bourbon, weakened down with water; if it was a rare beefsteak, then it was for the fluid to come out in its virgin purity. Roast pig, well done, by this means might mean a mug of ale; and a mutton chop, gin pugared. Officer Peter Lynch went ia-there on Sun day night, but saw no bar, although? customers were Indulging hugely. Everything passed as if from the hand of the wizard through this mysterious hole. Defense claimed that there was no violation of the law; there was no exposure for sale. Lynch said he tasted the liquor that came through the hole, and he could swear it was liquor. Defense said that a ser geant of the police, named Williams, had committed serious breach of the peace by jumping through this crevice and entering the privacy of a cook-house. The saloon was conducted in a proper manner. The head and front of the offense was this: Here was a restaurant; in that restaurant there was a hole, and through that hole you could see a woman. Court— Putting whisky through that hole ? Witness— Yes. Court—. And a waiter handed it to you ? Witness— Yes, and I tested it. Counsel hoped the hole was big enough for his client to escape through. The Court, however, held that it was not big enough for that purpose, and fined him S3O. HARD. 7oixu cuxou,«» i»oy who aid chores for a boarding house keeper, lighting the fires and attending to the place for crackers and cheese, was caught opening the door at six in tho morning. The proprietor said the boy was not in his employ, and that there was but one entrance for his boarders to get into the house. The defendant was found guilty and fined S3O. These are all the important liquor cases that were disposed of yesterday. AN INNOCENT HUSBAND. John Welsh, claiming to be a seaman, pleaded guilty to keeping a house of prostitution. He said he had just come home from sea, and found his wife proprietrress of the establishment. He had never been in a house of the kind in his life, and did not know anything about such matters. Since his/arrest, he was sorry to say that the initiation into the mys tery had been somewhat costly. On his plea of guilty he was fined SSO and sent to tho Penitentiary for one month. A COWHIDING AFFAIR. Mary Vook, a young, interesting married lady, was charged with choking, destroying the hat, by tearing it into shreds, and attempting to cowhide Miss Mary Everett. Tho occasion of the difficulty was woman’s scandal. Complainant, who had said something re specting the character of defendant, paid a visit to a neighbor in the house where Mrs. Vook lived. Mrs. Vook sent a message up, requesting the com panion of complainant to come down and make an explanation. She pledged her word of honor that no v&lence would be committed while under her roof. The lady declined the interview or to make any explanations, and it was while going down stairs that she caught the two ladies and attempted to cow hide them. She was fined $25. PUNISHED ENOUGH. Hugh McDonald, John W. Barry, Richard Barrett and Owen Tevens went to the hackmen’s ball the other evening at the Everett Rooms, Thirty-fourth street and Broadway. Liquor, it appears, was doled out after 12 o’clock. Officer Arthur O’Rourke entered the ball-room and arrested the offending party. The defendants shoved the officer about until the pris oner escaped. The officer left, but returned some aO-ward with assistance. When the of ficers they seemed to club right and icffy £8 allnhS prisoners had big patches on ther heads; 6f th6.prisoners was lying asleep when he w2B Up Lty a terrible blow on tho head from OfficSr RdfebjnSi br Roberts. The court held that the prisoner© E&a boon punieiied enough, and discharged them; Sergeant Lefferts was ordered to call the attention of the Police Commissioners to the case. / CHANGED THEIR BASE OF OPERATIONS. Jrmes Dumas, better known as Jemmy Dumas, and Wm. Ayers, both old stagers in the confidence line, were charged with attempting to rob a safe. Dumas is an old confidence operator, and in his time has made a big pile of money, but unfortunately has lost it all by playing faro. Encouraged by the great ex ploits of late of the English swell-mobsmen, who can go into an office and carry off sloo,ooo,as was done this week from Mr. Jerome’s office, and no arrest be made; on the contrary, read of a beggarly supplication for the return of the same with a reward of $25,000, and no questions asked. Jemmy thought he would try it and be as successful As the big bugs in the frater nity. Dumas and Ayres went into the wholesale commission house of Messrs. Dobien & Co., No. 76 Pearl street; Ayres priced the butter, and was bar gaining for about SSOO worth at the lowest cash price, when Dumas went up stairs. Dumas saw nobody. The safe was open, and Jemmy thrust his hand in it, when a gentleman came suddenly out of the water closet and collared Jemmy. Mr. Ayres, as soon as he heard of his pal’s arrest, came up stairs and tried to bluff the matter off by giving Jemmy a first-rate character. To the astonishment of Ayres, ho, too, was arrested, and both were locked up. Ayres was acquitted, but Jemmy was found guilty of the attempt and sentenced to the Penitentiary for three months, and fined $25. FIRE DEPARTMENT. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PREVENTING FIRES. In answer to interrogations of a Legislative cc mmit tee, as to the most effective means of preventing fires, the Police Commissioners have submitted a lengthy reply, and some of their suggestions are worthy of being carefully considered. They say : The large number of fires within the past year and the great destruction of property caused by many of thorn, are well calculated to excite the alarm not only of underwriters, but of every owner of property. It is very desirable to ascertain the cause of every fire that occurs, whether it be the result of carelessness, or the act of an incendiary : whether it results in any case from the nature of the goods stored at the place of the fire, and whether the great loss of property by fire is in any manner owing to tho latter cause, even •ifhexo tho fire has occurred notwithstanding all rea sonable precaution to guard against such an accident, h is also very desirable to know whether the means supplied at the public expense to arrrestand extin guish fires are applied with promptness, energy and Krtsdom. A Fire Marshal, clothed with power and Charged with the duty of investigating promptly and fully, and reporting the facts in these several particu lars whenever a fire occurs, would naturally be ex pected to be of very great service to underwriters and to the community generally, if he performed his duties efficiently. If it should be ascertained that many of these fires resulted from some other cause than the negligence of those in charge of the prem ises where the fire originated, or that the disastrous consequences of many of the firqs is caused by the manner in which buildings are erected or the busi ness in them is conducted, or from inefficient or in adequate efforts or means to arrest their progress and extinguish them, a remedy, to some extent at least could be provided. The office of Fire Marshal should be created by law, and the officer appointed by some designated authority or public body, distinct from ' and independent of the Fire Department. His re- : ports in the case of each fire should be made promptly to the authority that appoints him. And that au- i tiiority, whenever any report made to it should show that any members of the fire, or of any other depart ment were at fault, should communicate the fact to the head of such department. If the disastrous ef fects of the fire should be due to the violations of any municipal ordinances or statutes relating to the con fauctipa ox use of the premises where as fire such fact or facts should bo at once communicated to the office or body whose duty it may be to see that such ordinances and statues are enforced, and the violations of them punished. If it be found that the fire was caused by an incendiary the oflender should, in pursuance of provisions adapted to such a case, be arrested, and the evidence of his guilt furnished to the District Attorney. An efficient and intelligent discharge of such duties as are above suggested, and of such others as would be specified in any law framed with care and a comprehensive view of the wants of the community, would necessarily be productive of good, not only to companies insuring against loss by fire, but to every person owning or occupying prem ises liable to be destroyed by it. It has for a long time been supposed that such an officer as is hero recommended already existed and we have yet to learn that he has failed in the discharge of any of the duties enumerated. THE WANT OF WATER. The firemen complain, of {tho want of water, and tho inefficent condition of the city hydrants. It renders the efficient discharge of their duties difficult— sometimes quite impossible. It is but too well known to the authorities that there is a deficiency in the supply of water in the case of a large fire, and added to this nearly all the street hydrants are out of repair. Wo regard this condition of things as wholly indefensible, and the responsibility of whatever in jury may result from it is with the Croton Board. Twenty-two men are employed in this city to look af ter the street hydrants. Do they do it ? FIRES DURING THE PAST WEEK. Date. Time. Signal. Location. . Feb. 2, 10:40 P.M. 4th Diet.

Saturday. Feb. 9,1867. If New York business men are not making money —every day in the week, every week in the month, and every month in the year—tho world is sure to know it. That they did not make as much money in 1866 as they did in 1865, nor as much in 1865 as they did in tho two years previous, consequent upon tho tremendous inflation of values attending the war, is a fact patent to all, but that such has been the reality we think no sufficient cause for any superlative de gree of sympathy at their apparently hard fortune. Merchants and speculators, brokers and bankers, made more money during the war than they had done for a score of years previous, and what they made, the people, either directly or indirectly lost, we cer tainly do not think it a hard case that tho little game has been in a very largo now that we have had enough of contraction to pro duce a sharp reaction in business, and bring men back to their “ base of operations,” as we used to say in war times, there is a great outcry against the taxes, the currency, the falling off in business, and thoir hard luck generally. There is some reason for complaint, but these interested speculators and highly speculative merchants are not tho true proph ets. It matters much less which of two courses, both very near together, the present Congress shall take, than it does that they take cither one or the other, and decide quickly. When dealers know what the tariff on imported articles is to be for the year to come and what tho taxes on domestic manufactures will be, both of which are likely to stand very nearly as at present, they will then see that to push a large business through for the year they will have to make concessions in the prices of many leading articles, and when this is done, there will be no want of busi ness. Customers from every part of tho country are now here in large numbers, but they hold off, or only buy lightly in expectation of lower prices, and there is good reason to expect that they will thus obtain large reductions over the figures paid last year. in the market for Government, State, Railway and miscellaneous securities—the stocks which the Wall street “ operators” principally manipulate—the busi ness for the week has been light, and there has been some recovery from from the very depressing in flu. ence felt last week. If any one is in want of a span of fast horses, or some extra quality house furniture, however, we would suggest that several of the noisy brokers in Broad street may have the same, which they would part with “at a bargain,” as they are oc; casionally hard up and feel sore at the late “ tumble’ in stocks. For Government securities, the Ten-Forties now command 100%@101; Five-Twenties, 108%; and Seven-Thirties 104%@105%. The railway bwcob uro ut> <om_xx_ v. ocutrai; Hudson River, 129; Erie, 59%; Reading, 104%; Michi, gan Southern, 75%; Illinois Central, 11%; and Pitts burgh, 84%. Gold has been steady for the the week at 136 %@ 138%, the fluctuations covering those figures nearly every day, and for an exception 138%@138% was ob’ tained on Tuesday. The price at the close to-day was 137%@137% with a decidedly upward tendency. The grand total of the Public Debt on the Ist of Feb ruary, is officially reported at $2,543,349,748—0r an ad tual increase of $24,574 as compared with the total debt on the Ist January. This is the first period in many months for which there has not been a consid erable reduction of the Debt. The rates of interest for money are down a little and there Is rather more freedom among leaders, aa compared with last week. Six and seven per cent, are the ruling rates for loans on call, and for commercial paper B@l2 per cent is obtained. The coinage of the Philadelphia Mint for January was, in gold, $1,029,130; silver, $31,093; copper, $121,. 800—of this amount there wero 47,800 pieces half-dol lars, 6,000 dimes, 8,000 half-dimes, 2,019,000 of the new five-cent pieces, 297,000 three-cent pieces, 197,500 two-cent pieces, and 799,000 cent-pieces. The Real Estate market for the week has been one of the most lively interest. Landlords generally foej disposed to take their cue from the precedents of previous years, and take it as a matter of course that there shall be an advance in rents, entirely oblivious of the depression in business, and the falling prices everywhere. If those who are dependant upon house - hiring are not in too much of a hurry, they can make fully as good terms as last year—in many cases, no doubt, bettor. Among tho sales we notice house and lot No. 128 East Fourteenth street, for $26,700; houses, and lots Nos. 36, 38, 40, and 42 West Forty-fourth street, $10,450 to $10,850, respectively; No. 88 Green wich street, $20,500; No. 39 Beaver street, $27,700; No. 75 West Twentieth street, $9,500; No. 112 Wes* Twenty-first street, $18,500; ana mo Eastern n»w.
