' ' Otv Affair '
' Kich&rd MuCloskey, an alJeruflan of the
Third ward, was yesterday before the Recor
der on the charge of misdemeanor in office.
Louis Von an, residing At Booth and Ninth
streets, testified that a few days ago he went
to the office of defendant to offer himself as
pc entity for a boy who had been arrested, and
that when he went in a dog ran towards him.
He was told by the alderman not to open the
door, as the dog wonld run out; that unthink
ingly he did open the door, and the dog ran
ont, whereupon he was arrested and held in
$1000 bail. A commitment was made oat,
and he was taken in charge by a constable,
.bnt before he reached the prison bail was en
tered for him and he was released. The
alderman said that a charge of resistance was
made by his constable, and that it was for
that offense there was a binding over. The
complainant reiterated that all he did was to
open the door and let the dog oat of the
office.
The man who was arrested at the Navy
Yard after the attempt to break into the Pay
master's safe, was admitted to bail by the
Recorder a few hours after the hearing at the
Central Station. It was supposed, tinder the
commitment of Alderman Kerr, the magis
trate assuming that the offence was burglary,
and that he had no right to take bail, that the
security would have to be entered in court.
This was regarded as insuring the prisoner's
detention for at least forty-eight hoars, the
District Attorney requiring that length of
notice before bail can be offered; and it was
a'so thought to ensnre a very careful scrutiny
into the bail before it was taken. The Re
corder fixed it at .2.00, and it was entered
by John Schinckle, tavern keeper, at War
nock street and Columbia avenue, who re
presented that he owns the house he lives in,
and that it is assessed at $.00, there being
bnt a flOOO incumbrance upon it. The
deeds of the property were not produced.
A fire broke out in one of the npper
stories of the building No. 247 North Third
t-treet, occupied in that portion of it by
Messrs. Super & Coleman, silk hat manufac
turers, and in the first and second floors by
iSamnel Barton & Co., wholesale grocers, and
Whistle & Mullen, shoe manufacturers. The
fire did not extend beyond the room in which
it originated, and did not much damage there.
The principal loss is by water, but no esti
mate can be formed of it until the stock of
flour is examined.
A driver in the employment of Martin
& Co., of No. 5.10 Market street, was ran over
and killed last evening at the depot Fifteenth
and Filbert streets.

A RESUME 07 FRENCH AND PRUSSIAN OPERATIONS
PINOE THE BATTLE OP SAARBRUOK THE AD
VANCE ON PARIS THE GREAT BATTLE OP
. SUNDAY. ,
London, Aug. 29.
The following is a resume of the progress of
the German armies since the commencement
of the invasion of France:
After the check by the French vanguard
near Saarbrnck, August t5, followed by the
route of McMahon, the French main body re
tired on the line of the Moselle. The fort
resses of Thionville and Metz, defences of the
first order and well supplied, and intrenched
camps which were constructed gave great
strength to their new position. A direct
attack would have been difficult: therefore the
German armies passed to the south of Metz
toward the Moselle to cross it above the city
and discover the enemy's movements.
Such great masses of troops, covering a
wide region, required special precaution. The
first army was to flank the enemy's line of
march, and was directed to take a new po
sition near the river Nied. In the meantime,
the first and second armies approached each
other, a division passing over the Moselle.
The same division, on the 9th, took part in
the fight, in which the French were repulsed
and pursued until they reached the protection
of the guns of Metz. This combat resulted
greatly to the advantage of the Prussians, as
it retarded the French retreat, and the advan
taee was easily followed up.
Two roads connect Metz with Verdun and
Verdun with Paris. The second army, re
fraining from the passage of the Moselle, and
ris thus threatened, the French were obliged
to withdraw from the right bank of the Mo
. etlle before Metz, not being strong enough to
stop the Prussian movements. The advance
of the first army, observing the movement of
the French, attacked, August 21, the French
rear, throwing it upon the main body, which
was compelled to send back several divisions
to support the rear.
The Prussian 1st and 7 th corps went on the
.south side to compel the f rench to face about
They succeeded, after a bloody but victorious
conflict.- The Prussian 5th division attacked
General Frossard, and by degrees the entire
French force became engaged, and of the
Prussian forces, other divisions of the 3d
corps, 10th corps, a regiment of the 9 th corps
and a brigade of the 8th participated. - Prince
Frederick Charles had taken command. The
movement . was successful, and the southerly
road to Paris was intercepted. The Prus
sians fought heroically; and their losses were
" large, but those of the enemy, especially of
the Imperial Gnard, were immense.
French official reports estimate the Prussian
force engaged at double what it was. The
only way for the Emperor to escape fatal iso
lation from Paris and his supplies lay on the
northern line. The Prussian army in the
south, finding no enemy .before it, fell back,
combining with the other army. A joint
attack on the French was then planned. The
French ceasing to retreat by the northerly
line, took position on the heights before Metz.
The second army moved to the right, fixing its
centre and left at Verneville and Armanvilliers,
while its right rested in contact with the first
army. Absolute readiness for a simultaneous
move along the entire line was requisite, as
the French position was a strong one.
At the start the 9th corps encountered the
advanced detachments, who opened with ar
tillery from the Verneville side. The first
army, therefore, was ordered to engage the
enemy in front, and at one o'clock opened a
well sustained and effective cannonade, which
lasted until broad daylight. The i rench re
plied with vigor. Ahoot Z.dU intantry en
gaged the enemy, who just then strongly re
inforced his fine, reaching from St. Mario Aux
Chenes to L.a Lrusse.
Ilia position, naturally of great strength,
had been so fertified by earthworks and ditches
that it seemed almost impregnable. There
was. a brief delay before the assault, in order
to make pure that the enemy had stopped Ms
retreat on the northern route. ' The combat
which ensued was long and terrible. On the
left guards and Saxon troops fought at St.
Marie, St. Frivat and Doncourt. Meanwhile
the other wing was engaged near St. Ail, La
Culssc, Wand and Verneville, as far as the
north side of the northern road from Metz to
Verdun.
The 8th and 9th corps participated in the ac
tion of Gravelotte, and the contest spread from
Vanx to Moselle, where a brigade of tha 81
and 10th, with artillery, were engaged with tha
entire French army, McMahon's corps and
Faifly 's division excepted.- ;
After sundown the Prussians took the
heights by storm, slinging back the French
along their entire line to the shelter of Metz.
London, August 29. Special to New York
Tribune. Our correspondent writes from
Rethcl on Friday: The Emperor left early
this morning. lie was cheered in the streets.
We start to-morrow for Meziores. At two
o'clock this afternoon troops were still filing
out. Part are ordered to Attigny and others
to Doncourt. The main body is still moving
on Mezieres.
' The correspondent of the Tribune with the
Crown Prince's headquarters, writes from
Nancy, on the 19th, that while General Stein
metz and Prince Frederick Charles have done
well on the right of the main French army,
the Crown Prince has occupied a more threat
ening position on the right of the whole
French position. Unless Failly can quickly
muster snfliciont force to cover central and
southern France, the empire will be exposed
to imminent danger in regions quite unpre
pared for defence. Once relieved from the
possibility of a movement northward, the
Crown Prince can do pretty much as he likes
in other quarters. It is true, masses of thu
National Gardo and French reserves will soon
be marching against him; but, without train
ing, without proper equipments, and many of
them without breech-loaders, they must go
down before the German armies.
The 'situation near Metz cannot be better
summed up than by saying the French armies
are more than matched by the first and second
Prussian armies, and if these armies should
win, though only by a hairbreadth, the Prus
sians and their southern allies in the third
army could do what they pleased with central
I ranee. -
The smaller French fortresses are making a
gallant resistance. Plalzburg is already fa
mous lor Holding out so obstinately. Tom
has just successfully repelled a somewhat
serious attack, and there seems to have been a
mistake as to the condition of the place for
defence.
Yesterday morning's attack v;u mot with
great vigor by the French garrison. They did
not venture to a sortie to follow up their ad
vantage, but inflicted loss on their assailants
with, as far as we know, very little loss to
themselves.
The peasants do not suffer what is technic
cally called the horrors of war. . Yung girls
stand at their cottage doors in villages, or on
the street corners, to see the soldiers -pass,
and are not molested by them, shops open
in towns are not plundered; peaceful citizens
go about their business without fear for life or
limb. But fruit and vegetables are taken
along the wayside; horses are pressed into the
service; soldiers are quartered on the people,
and large supplies of food are demanded from
the local authorities.
The same correspondent, under date of the
24th, writing from the Crown Prince's head
quarters at Vaucouleurs, says: While there
seemed to be a chance that. Napoleon might
win near Metz, it was necessary to hold the
third army in readiness to march northward.
So while battles were raging near Metz, this
army lay about Nancy and Luneville, half
expecting to be ordered up to support the
other German armies.
Then come news of the defeat of the French
by Stdnmetz and Prince Frederick Charles.
There was no longer need to hesitate about
invading central France, and the march was
commenced, of which you will soon hear the
results. There is a straight nsd rapid march
of the third army, supported by other troops.
Without giving details of the movements,
more than ltXJ.uuu men, inn oi connaence,
flushed with victory, and splendidly organ
ized, are about to break up the quarters of the
French. ( ' ' "
Three or four columns are marching abreast
on the same roads. Two go by the road it
self, and sometimes two more through fields
to the right and left, or at least one other
column. It is remarkable how well the
columns are directed, how carefully they,
choose their routes; though invading a pro
vince like Pfalzburg;
Toul is a point of resistance, but not a rally
ing point for the surrounding people. The
fortress is held, and the enemy passed on
without troubling himself to capture it. The
French simply retreat clear out of reich when
they do not mean to fight in earnest, and leave
open towns ana villages to be quietly occupied
by the advancing foe.
The same Tribune correspondent writes lrom
the same place on the 22d: . Everything
will turn on what the French recruits can do..
No time will be given to train them. There
is a rapid concentration of troops under the
Crown Prince moving on Chalons, and ample
force to watch Metz. Masses of the land we hr
are marching by every road between the Rhine
and Meuse. Pfalzburg will be left to the land
wehr to besiege, bo will Bitcbe and probably
Strasburg. The whole active army of Ger
many will bo available to blockade Metz and
capture Paris.
The New Yom Tribune's correspondent,
writing from Paris bunday evening, says:
"The intolerance of certain journals is revolt
ing. The (Jaulots proposes that women not
wearing mourning in the streets be insulted.
The Figaro complain that there have been
only 2000 arrests. The prefect of police says
there is room for no more in the prisons. The
Fiauro replies: If you cannot lodge all Prus
sian spies shoot them, and you will have
room.' As a sequence of the recent sugges
tion the same journals propose to supply the
Prussians with poisoned provisions."
The Tribune correspondent, writing from
Frankfort the 26th, says: "The delay in taking
Strasburg is due to the mismanagement of the
general commanding. More than one oppor
tunity for striking a blow has been lost. Sup-
Elies that might have been intercepted have
een allowed to enter the fortress. Great
progress is made since the change in the gen-
eraisuip."
A correspondent writes from Copenhagen,
on the 24th inst., that the reaction in public
feeling is as complete as it was sudden. A siral
lar change has taken place in the language of
the press. There is no longer a party advo
cating French alliance
London, August 29. Special to the New
York Herald. A dispatch from St. Merme-
bould says 800 of the Garde Mobile and
quantity of booty were captured there by the
Prussians.
A dispatch from Paris says that upward ot
one hundred thousand Prussians are between
Kpernay and Kheims. Twelve thousand Prus
sians occupy the heights near Bheims. Vigor
ous preparations are being made to defend
France. Preparations to intercept the Prus
sian advatice have been male within a circuit
of forty leagues oiT 'tm.
London, August 29, midnight. Generals
Frossard and Bourlmki have been wounded.
A dispatch dated at the headquarters of the
King of Prussia, Sunday evening, says: Yes
terday there was an action between the 8d
regiment Saxony horse, supported by a squad
ron of 18th hussars, and six squadrons - of
French chasseurs, near Sr sarnie. Our troops
were victorious. The French commander was
wounded and taken prisoner.
