THE WRECK'S RESULT, Gathering Up tho Debris from the Ferdinand Ward and Hell Gate Explosions, And Patiently "Waiting for the Final Disposition of the Shattered Remains. rhree Tears Bequired to Clean Out North Eiver--How Lonij to Safoly Land Ward. Sjeinl Corretjxmdence. Nnw Yonrc, OcL 14th, 1SS5. Tho principal top'cs of couversHtion in Gotham lor the past few ilny6 have been first, the Ferdinand Ward statement, and next tho treat explosion oflltll-Gato in Isorth ltlver. rho Ward statement creates tho gtcatcst and nost. lasting excitement, however, in this ipeclal community, since it furnishes a partial ind very unsatisfactory answer to the problem f the day, viz: "Where mil themlllious got" Who has cot them!" and "How are wcgolng to get them back again I" These questions It as hoped would be fully answered In tho onfesslon of Ward, but they were not, and ihe painful impression still prevails that the lomv; Napoleon of Wall Street, the wrecker f high standing banks and well known repu jitlons, hasn't told more than half tho story, ind moreover that the halt left untold Is by tar the most interesting. Consequently tho :ominiiiiIty, and especially tho bitten part of die community, and this part Includes almost :vcrv piomiucnt bank and b okcr in ew fork, Is still in a stiito of suspense rcgnrdlng lie whereabouts of the money they lost, aud die best way to get at what icmaitis of it. Ever since M:iy, 18SI, Ward has been prom sing to give away .1 great many people whom t was supposed prolltctl by his llnaueierlnir ind the great failure, lie has held a sledge tainmcr over a can of dynamite, as It were, ind kept the public in suspense as to what waiei) i.rrs Diciri:. ie effect would b) when ho let it fall, and as who was going to suffer by tho explosion. It has fallen, llgures most astonishing have lanced In all conceivable shapes before the lyes of the public, who have been mystified irith the vast amounts which Ward talks of as .oUcctedly as he gaihi'ied them In the days of fore. Success in the past with individuals lias led him Into this dazzling d spiny for the jeneral public, and the general public, like he Individuals, appear to have been only half :akcn luto his conll lence. There is one effect thai his broadside Jmd, and this was to get everybody except the calm W. S. Warner into ii Immediate nnd fierce state of explanation ind denial. If the gent cuian named was way himself, then his ton, or his clerk, or Sis w.fe, or the chambjrm iiil forthwith cuter id a protest, anil vehemently and vociferously proclaimed that Ward was au awful liar, and that tho spirits of Hill Tweed and Anuanlns 'lad both taken possession of him, that they aad always lost instead of gaining by his ac lunlutance, and that while it might look as though they were ahead, they really wero behind In their transactions with this modern ilcpbistophelcs. This is tho case especially ith our truly good and pious Mayor, Wlllalm B. Grace, who has it issa d been iu a perlpctlo tale of swear ever since Ferdihand mndo his extraordinary statement that notonly had cur reform Ma)-or profltod by his dealings with Grant & Waul to tho extent of fT5,0J0, and jolds their obligations to tho tune of nearly f70,000 more, but that ho also had actually endeavored to become a member of tho firm. This accusation Is tho last 6traw which broko our Mayor's equilibrium, and betwe -n sur prise, indignation, aud general Indigestion, MAYOK QUACK SUUI'IIISKD. 'he mayor of Gotham Is lu leod in a stato of mlud over the matter. It was bad enough to bold I he firm's paper for fo many thousands thst couldn't bo col eeted, and to feel that if be tried to collect it by the moans others are tmploi ing lio would have to sue himself lor the pri'liu he did collect aud if he ga ncd the lult ugalmt himself, would huv to divide the irutlit with t'.os! 11 the general pool who Ml frtftt didn't get any profits, and who are rcaly to sue anybody from tho Dev i up if there Is auy hope of collecting anything from them. It will bJ therefore seen that our Mayor's position is to ray the least a trying one. Elected as a reform mayor, on a reform p'at form, plcdccd to give no quarter to any olllclal roguery, he standi liable to bo sued by the city over which he is mayor for protlts made In "his dealings with a g'gantle swindler, who swindled the city out or an immense sum. as well as numerous individuals. Nobody thinks that our reform Mayor had any uuderhnnd deal with Ward, but th s does not alter the fact lhat he Is liable to be sued for supposed profits made In his dealings tv.th Ward. His position was trying enough before Ward's last statement, but when Ward openly accuses him uf trying to btcume a member of tho firm of Grant it Ward, this indeed was a ciuel blow, and it Is no wonder that our mayor Is In a state of mind which argurs III for the olllco-seeker who crosses his path, and which keeps our city ofllcitds walk ing the historical chalk-line for the present. Next to Mayor Grace tho most disgusted person Iu Gotham is probably -'Buck Grant," better known to fame as UlyssesS. Grant, Jr., and from Ward's statement tho original and first member of the Grant family who cngagid with him In the financiering business auay back in July, 1SS0, when -'lluek," Fish and Ward clasped hands and joined fortunes In a trinity partnership. According to Ward's llgures "Uuck" made quite n fortuno In a short time, and could have retired with a fortune of over a million made in less than tw years and n half if tho firm hadn't bm-tod when it did. This wonderful statement hasn't rejuvenate "muck" g it ant. the splr ts of "lluek" to any extent, however, who siys through his lawyer tt at when he en tered the linn lie had about $200,0K) In money, that ho put In his wife's income of from $10,0.10 to 29,000 per annum besides, that he sold the residence presented to her by ner father, Senator Chaffee, 011 5btti street, in this c ty, forf5S,0(0, that tho Senator himself got in to a considerable extent, and that lui-tcad of a fortune he finds himself overwhelmed with debt, and the means of dnurg'ng the Senator, his own wife, and others luto the unfortunate affair, and all to their sorrow. The statement has affected lluck so that ho Is reported assay ing that If Ward escapes a felon's fide, It would be tlmo fur him to tako moro ac Ive steps, lluck Isn't much ot a financier, nny- how, and has quit trying to solve the ilddle "how can n man put all his own and all his friends' inoner Into an institution, n- d come out without it iu tlirco years, get Into the hands of a receiver, and still have made over a million in the Interval!" Tills problem would stagger a more brilliant mlud than Buck's aud ho gives It up iu disgust. Now that Ferdinand Ward's trial Is diawing near he Is evidently growing very desperat", since ho knows that It's chances for escaping tho convict's fate are very small Indeed, 110 matter how much money ho may h ive to t do him over under ordinary circumstances. Ho has brought too much dlsgraco up 'ii others to permit his escape, and he realizes It fully now. lie eut it with n very high hand In FXHDINAND M'AItD. deed for several years, and a friend of the writer who called at his homo only a few days before tho failure, camo back to Now York from her trip to tho Brooklyn homo of tho Wards with a glowing account of tevcral placques Ward had just purchased, and which had cost the snug sum of $125 each, although they wcro comparatively unall and inexpen sive looking, and tho thought if sho only wero as happy and as rich as Mrs. Ferdinand Ward, how bright tho world would seem. About two weeks later I called again, and her husband was figuring up that If he only had tho money that ho had Invested with Qrantifc Ward, how many handsome placques she could have, aud Mrs. Ward, her haudsomo BrooUlyu home, her elegent furniture, aud immense wealth were no longer env ed, for her home was In the hands of the sheriff, her husl and was in custody, her mother was prostrated by the shock, aud tho whole country was ringing with the disgraceful actions of the young financier, I met there a young lady who had been visiting at Ward's ime when the crash came, and who when tho house was taken possesion of by the officers found It a diffi cult thing to even get her trunk away, as the diligent detectives thought it might be the property of ard. Evidently there was not much to create envy of the pos tlou ot the Ward family. Ward has but frw friends left in the hour of his dlsiracc, aud many wit 1 knew him well and were wined and dued it his expensu la the dnys of h's fcemlng prosperity, have noth inst hut contemptuous remarks for him now. aud almost with one accord consign his mem ory to hades and hluuelf to tho penltcntltuy iu tho samo breath. Vrobably no man ever fell from so high a social posltlim and cariled with him the good wishes of so few a Ward bus done. Ills wife, however, still e'ung to him In spite of all, bravely set h'-r luce against the woild, believed hni more sinned ngnlnst then sinning, and called regularly to see him in Ludlow Mreet jail, tiot a very elegant place, truly, for an aristocratic lady born and bred to look upon such things with horror. Among the general wreck, the ) wycrs alone Eccm perfectly contented at the prospect of interminable lawsuits with enormous fees, and tlic probability is that as much as Is los.t In the failure wlh be spent In the next gener ation In trying to recover that which Is gone. No one thing perhaps has so embroiled promt nent people In lav, and tee prospects of law, as this failure. The city of New York, having lost a million dollars by it, will in all proba bility keep 6ult:g Ward and everybody con cerned for years. Ono of ihe saddest things connected wilh tho crash Is tho deaths which weio either cau cd or hastened by it. Colonel Fred Grant claims that tho General was prematurely brought to the grave through tho trouble brought upon him by this failure, and this Is believed by the physicians. Then J. Nelson Tappan, the c ty olllclal, through whoso spec uhulou tills city lost a million, and who it Is sa d was himseif ruined limine. ally, ho too died It Is confidently t-t.itcd from th. effects, and other deaths are reported, of those Intcrosti-d, whlcti It Is claimed can bo tra ed directly or ludlicctly to the cinbariassincut arising from the wreck, and among these Is that of Itlchurd G.(Smlth, a broker who held so much of the firm's paper that It ruined his firm, aud ho died from Iho effects. It was a wide spread calamity, aud Ward has more to answer for than his trial will probably develop, In the way of ruined homes, ruined reputations, and blasted lives. The second explosion of tho last few days, that of Flood Bock, at Hell Gale, appears to have been very successful, and divers report that the Immense rock has been riven com pletely by the Immense blast, and that fissures extend all through It underneath tho water, large enough to admit a man's body. -7K JIA.I. GKN. J0HXNKWT0N. This Is cheering Intelligence for Major Gener al John Newton, who has planned so faithfully for this result during tho past few years. Your correspondent stood upon a schooner Jl rcctly opposite tho rocky Island, aud much nearer to It than any of tho exclusion boats or even tho government tug, and watched the waters rlso majestically skyward when little Mary Newton touched tho button of tho bat tery. Ono of the employees evidently didn't fear the result, for after landing on the Island In a little row boat aud adjusting something, he pulled off to a dlstauee certainly not to ex ceed sixty yards, and quietly waited on his oars lor tho blast to explode. This cave con fidence to some of our party, who wore about a hundred yards further uwuy, and ono or two timid ones returned to tho schooner after watching this man tako It so coolly and ap pear s unconcerned. The sight was a grand one, nnd it was comforting lo know that It was under water, since Gen. Newton staled that if tho same amount of explosives had been fired In tho open air, It would nut havoleft a living thing 011 Muuhattaii Island, or probably a who'o building standing in New York or Inimediuto vicinity. As it was New York hud quite a jar, and towns a hundred miles away felt tho shock, wh lo the number of liars all over tho Eastern stales who were knocked down, Jumped on, gorroted, and generally maltreated by the blast, is something feaiful 10 thluk of. Ono of the lump posts in New Haven it Is suld jumped up, skipped around the town, and cleaned out halt a dozen house In Ids before it finally got back Into Its origin al place, and slmlllur experiences are coming In from surrounding towns. However that may be, Flood Bock Is settling every day deeper aud deeper into tho stream, which shows that it Is completely uiidcrm'neil, and will be no longer a terror to sea captalus. it was iimougtheso rocks that the British vessel, the frigate Huzzar, sank away back during the Bevolutlon, laden with treasure brought over to pay the British soldiers. She struck 011 rocks, went down, and never has been heard of since, although several companies have obtained charters to diedge for her, irad have Mink a fortune In endeavoring to find her whereabouts. Not o penny has been found, and like Captain Kldd's treasures, it lies very much burled In tho past. Still later than Ella Wheeler Wilcox's latest novil comes another impassioned romance, Iu which tho fair and well known authoress Is said to appear as tho heroine. The work has not yitscen the light of day, but will toon be brought forth by a New York publlsh'ng house, and as tho characters aro drawn from metro politan Bohemia, among whose circles the fair authoress is well known, it prom ses to bo ep ey as well as Impassioned, aud tho boys of the press are looking forward to It with ex peeUncy. New York Is becoming a city of flats, and it Is estimated that fifty thousand people live so high in the air lhat they ate out f tho reach of creditors, lire escapes aud religion. When you thluk of u family living up thirteeu nodes in Ihe air, aud It Isn't fasldouabie unlei-B you em get up st leant eight, some idea of this enze can bo obtained. SlillTO GfNTlL. Ills First F.vpiM-icii o in licc lvoopin;r. A. P. Abbott writes Western Ru ral: It was a hot, sultry morning in tho middle of June. The fog which at daybreak wrapped tho earth in its misty folds soon began rising nnd floating away in huge fleecy clouds, leaving every now and then an opening through which tho sun drove its early cut fiery rays. And as tho birds' songs camo (loatingoutfrotnthothick ly dtessed trees, they seemed half drowned in tho laden atmosphere. "If this fog clears away without rain, you may look ior ten swarms to day. I wish 1 did not have to go away, for I'm afraid you can't hivo them all." To explain the abovo quotation: wo wero keeping about fifty swarms of bees, and to-dav father was obliged to po to town, and I was tho only ono ho could leavo to attend to tho bees. And you who aro lamiliar with bee keeping, know it is no small job for ono man to tako care of an apiary of that size, at that time of tho year, for it is then that tho bees aro in tho midst of swaiiiiin time. So after father had eaten his breakfast and given me a short lecturo on a few of tho bees' private tricks, and how to get them into tho hive, hotookhis depart ure, leaving mo to my fate. . Every thing went on lovely till about nino o'clock, when tho sun rolled out from behind a dense cloud, nearly wilting things with its heating rays. This was moro than tho bees could stand. And soon a swarm began com ing out at a fearful rate. It seemed to mo as though theto wero a bushel of them, and that there would bo none left in tho hive. And after they had gone through with tho general ceremo nies in tho air, they lit on a limb bub a few foot from tho ground; thus mak ing it easy to get them down. Tho first thing was to prepare myself to hivo them. First, 1 put on a veil to keep them out of my face, then crowded a wool hat down on my head to keep them out of my hair; then put ting on a good warm pair of mittens, T proceeded to hivo them. I will let tho reader imagine how comfortable I felt. I first produced a blanket and spread it out beneath them, then placing my hivo on it, 1 gavo tho Bwarin a quick, hard jerk which brought thorn down in front of tho hivo all in a heap. I then watched closely for tho queen bee; for strango as it may seem, tho entire swarm is govern ed by this one beo. Soon they began running into the hivo liko a flock of sheep, by which I know tho queen had golio in. And just as I was thinking about got ting into tho shado to cool o(T, my sister, whom I left to watch, informed mo that another swarm had started. This ono seemed to bo moro 'high flown' thun tho preceding one; for in stead of lighting down where it would be easy getting them, they lib up a maple about thirty feet from tho ground, and now conies tho most in teresting part of my story; and some of tho readers may deem it somewhat humorous, but I realized nothing of that sort. I had by this timo come to tho conclusion that I'd rather run tho risk of gotting stung than to wear a thick pair of mittens when tho mer cury stood ninety above; so dropping them I commenced preparing to get down tho swarm. And getting a largo ropo and a saw I tried my hand, or rather, my shins, at climbing tho tree. And after a great deal of pulling and scratching I reached tho desired limb; and after stopping to bteatho a fow minutes, I commenced hitching out astride tho limb in order to tio my ropo in tho desired place I had scarcely dono this when crack! went tho limb up close to tho body of tho tree, and 1 started, as I supposed, for tho ground; but fortunately it broko but half way oil and left 1110 hanging head downward. It took mo but a jhort timo to change ends and got back to tho trunk. Hut tho worst of it all was, my shirt had, in tho fall, got pulled abovo my pants, and a beo had taken ad vantngo of the situation, and was crawling upon my ribs. I had read that ah Indian could liostill while a caterpillar mado his way slowly over his body; but to let an angry beo go buzzing ulong on tho baro skin, took noro nor vo than I possessed. So quick as thought, iu fact quicker than thought, for if I had stopped to think I would not havo dono it, I gavo him an unfriendly slap which of courso ended in our coming out about oven; for though I took his life ho left his sting over my fifth rib. At last I got them down and into tho hivo, and as I did so. I flung my Belf on tho ground in thoshado of soma neighboring trees, but my stay in that position was brief. I or it seemed that I had hardly touched tho ground before J was on my feot again, nor did I seem as Milton has said, "and in his rising ho seemed a pillow of salt." For I arose moro liko a dancing Jack than a "iillow" of anysort. It scorns thero wero several bees (I did notstop to count tho number), collected at Just tho r 11 it position on tho scat of my pants to bo whero I could aid them in stinging mo when I sat down. Thoy had undoubtedly been some what roiled when tho limb broko, and now wero going to pay 1110 for my trouble. I had said while hiving tho latter warm, that I would not hive another ono if they nil went off. But at this last performance I becamo somewhat roiled myself, and vowed thoy would all go into a hivo if I per ished in tho attempt to put thorn thero. Aud nino of tho ten swarms lather had predicted swarmed', and 7 fulfilled my declaration. It will with out doubt bo useless for mo to odd that I did not do much sitting down for a few days. A Jf K W V 1 13 W OF AM 13 If ICANS Our llnrtmrou Selves Scon m TbrotiRh CoiiiitllmiMitiiry Sir Hubert's O.I.ses. Lord ltonnld Gower's Reminiscences. "Not being a personnage, and not caring to appear in a white tio and lino linen every evening, and having wished to seo tho social life in tho American city not as a guest but as a traveler, I think I can moro impar tially judge of what would bo tho im pression mado on a cosmopolitan than had I traded on being an Eng lishman with a handle attached to my name, as probably most Britishers with such an impediment would do. I mixed with nil classes, in tho street car or omnibus (which in its American form is as superior to our London 'bus as is a Parisian victoria to a 'growler'), in tho Union Club tho Travelers' of Now York and in a palatial steamer of tho river Hud son, to which steamer and to which river wo havo nothing to comparo in the Old World. Wherever I went 1 found all classes of tho Americans not only civil, out highly civilized, as com pared class for class with tho English; not only amiable, but, as a rule kind and courteous, and, with raro excep tions, well-informed, well bred, and having moro refinement of manner than any other people I have over como amongst. What struck me es pecially in Now York was tho inva riable civility shown by all classes of men to women, whether tho women rustle in silk or woro linsoy-wolscy or homespun; however crowded tho car or tho footway, room was tit onco mado for a lady. Does nob this somewhat contrast with tho sur ly, grumpy incivility that is shown to tho fair sex in our public cariiages and streets? This politeness is not, as in a neighboring country to ours, mere lip and eye civility, but arises, I believe, from a mutual and intuitivo good breeding from which, as 1 said before, tho Americans of overy class aro endowed. "For instance, if ono entered a room in a club or hotel, ono was not met by thoso assembled with a 'Who tho Dash is this person whom nono of us know? and what tho Dash does ho hero?' sort of look; nor, if ono entered into conversation with somo ono in a railroad car 01 steamer, wnsonogrcet ed with that truly British staro which in this country of insular prejudice and arrogant assumption, conveys as plainly as words tho question, 'What tho mischief do you mean by speaking to mo without an introduction?' "My experience has been in America that if you ask a service from a stranger it is accorded readily, without con descension or fuss; that among them is little of the snubbish wish to appear to thoso wo do not know as greater peoplo than wo really aro, littloof that disgusting patronage of manner that prevails in this country among tho richer classes, and nono of tho no less disgusting crhiginess of manner which as greatly prevails among our trades people, and which makes mo for ono hesitate beforo asking my way in tho streets of a well-dressed man, or enter ing a shop whero ono will (if known as 'a good customer') bo received by a mealy-mouthed mortal till smiles and grimaces, who will think that ho will moro readily sccuro a purchaser by showing B01110 articlo ordered by my Lord This or my Lady That. On tho contrary, tho Now York tradesman or shopkeeper receives you with civility, but without any of that cringiness of manner which seems to mo ltttlo less insulting than actual insolence; ho will allow you to look as long as you like at any of tho articles his shop may contain, and will bo equally civil ii you purchasoor if you do not; but ho will not rub his hands and contract his features into a leer, and if you were to show him your superiority ol position by afl'ecting to look down on him as bomg 'only a tradesman,' ha would probably show you that there is something moro in being a citizen ot a great Republic than mero sound,and that although you may fancy your self a Bupcnor boing from not being a republican or a shop man, ho might bo ablo to prove to you that ono man is nsgood as anoth er. "I mixed thus with all classes, nnd spoko to nil with whom I camo into contact, nnd in no single instaiK) did I meet with anything but perfect civil ity tho civility of equals, which is, niter all, tho truest. I admiro with all myhoart this peoplo, our brothers, who, although wo havo for so many years presumed to treat them as poor relations, aro in somo forms of com 'mon courtesy and general politeness inr Biiponor to ourselves. "I grunt that the Americans we meet on tho Continent of Europe are often offensivo in mnnnor and give a very unfavorable impression of their coun try both to foreigners and to English men; but, beliovo mo, theso aro the ex ceptions." Tho Boston Commercial Bulletin contained an interesting article on tho foreign apple trade of this country, from which it is learned that lastyeur Boston oxported moro apples than any other American port, shipping 800,800 bbls, against 260,332 bbls from Now Yorkandl30,X01bblsfrora all ports in tho Britibh provinces. n
