The Terser-crane Ho de. The Jackson, Mississippi, Clarion, of June 10 says: I The trial of. Mr. E. M. Yerger- was com menced to-day at 11 o'clock, before the Mili tary now sitting in this citY. Messrs. W. P. Harris, Fulton Anderson and Wm.. Yerger represent the prisoner. The Conimission adjourned till 3 o'clock this after noon, in order to give the prisoner time to consult with his counsel. The same paper publishes a communication containing these particulars touching the de-, ceased: Colonel Crane was born at Dayton, Ohio, in the month of October, 1825. Was agentlemau by blood and education. Hisfamily for generations had been one of the Most exalted in the land. He was a son of the late Hon. Joseph H. Crane, member of Congress from the Dayton District many years ago, and was long one of the leaders of the Ohio bar. Col. Crane was admitted to practice law about the year 1849,'and after practicing a few years was elected Probate Judge of his native county, which osition he held for three years {that .being the term for which he Was ' elected, with marked credit and distinction. At the breaking . out of the re cent civil war he accepted the`position of Commissary of Subsistence, with the rank of captain. lie was frequently promoted during the war for gallant and meritorious conduct. , For thepast two years he has been Chief om missary of the Fourth Military District, and the greater part of this time a resident of the State of .Mississippi. At the time of his death. be was Mayor of the city of Jackson, by mili tary appointment. Col. Crane was about six feet two inches iti height, imposing and distingue in hiS personal appearance.lu all the relations of life; as son,, husband, father, citizen; Judge and soldier, he was a model of the purest type. A most thorough, accomplished, polished gentleman in his bearing, he was truly loved and universally admired by all who came in contact with him. Perhaps no ofliceriof the army of equal rank bad more warm personal friends: Vol., Crane leaves a widow and two most promising and interesting sons, aged seventeen and fourteen years, respectively. Mrs. Crane is the daughter of Commodore James Findlay Schenck, of the United Stites Navy, and the niece of General Robert C. Schenck, the present distinguished member of Congress from the Dayton District. She is a most charming, amiable and Christian lady . , a worthy representative of her illustrious family. 'Herself and husband were both born in the same town. The Clarion says: In order to satisfy the pub lic demand for a fair and detailed account of the tragic affair last. Tuesday, we have pub lished below the testimony taken before the Jury of Inquest, held over the body of the de ceased immediately after its occurrence. 1t hiproper to preface it by stating that the difficulty grew out of certain official proceed ings of the deceased, which are better ex plained by the following advertisement that appeared on the 3d of June: "NoticE.—By virtue of a Warrant of Dis tress, dated this 4th day of June, 1869, to the undersigned, Marshal of the city of JacksOn, directed bythe Honorable, the Mayor of said city, I have distrained and levied upon the hereinafter described personal property of E. Yerger, for taxes due and in arrears by him to said city, and will proceed to sell, in front of Bloom's store, in the city of Jackson, Mississippi, at public outcry, for cash, to the highest bidder, on the 16th day of June, A. D. 1869, within legal hours, the' following scribed personal property, levied on to satisfy the amount of said taxes and all costs: One Piano. "W. S. FREEMAN. Marshal "Jackson, Miss., June 4, 1869." When this property was attached E. M. Yer ger was in Memphis. On his return Tuesday morning, he sent several messages to Colonel Crane, the purport of which was an invitation to meet him on the street, divested of his offi cial character, in order to give him satisfac tion for whatle esteemed to be an affront. We are informed that Dr. Harrington, Who, after repeated solicitations, bore . one of these communications, finally consented to do so, with a purpose in his mind, when explaining to Colonel Crane the intent of Yerger, to ad vise him not to go upon the streets, and that he did so, stating that Yerger was armed and that his passions were greatly intensified by liquor. Unfortunately there is no living witness of this fact. But it is the statement of Dr. Harrington, who is a truthful, kind hearted, generous man of peace, and would be the last person on earth to produce dissension, and the first to save a fellow mortal from the horrors of such a death as overtook the deceased. Chief of Police Isler, as will be seen by his testimony, gave the same advice which Dr. Harrington had given, but unfortunately it was not taken. Strange euough,the deceased did not,as a con rsevator of the peace,order the arrest of Yerger, notwithstanding his belligerent message, from the streets, nor did he prepare himself with arms for a deadly encounter, nor still did he keep out of harm's way. The cause of his failure to adopt some precautionary measure is explained in the testimony of Isler. A short time before the fatal meeting, he was on President street,examining a side-walk which had been reported to him to be in a condition to need repairs. The parties met on the corner of State and Capital streets. We will leave what followed to the recital of wit nesses : Harris Barksdale, sworn—Came out of Cla rion office and. met Col. Crane;passed him with usual salutatious, and went into Green's bank; while there he. some one say, "You are a damned puppy,' ran ,out with Mr. Thomas Green and George Green; saw Col. Crane and E. M. Yerger standing near each other; Colonel Crane said, "You are drunk and had better go home." „ Mr. Verger add, "I am not drunk, and I want to tell you that you are a puppy." Col. ' - Crane said, "I ;don't care for you and will not have anything to do with you." Yerger said, "I telegraphed to you not to take advantage of me during my ab sence," at the same time shaking his finger, don't know which hand, in Crane's face. Crane said, "I did not take advanta,ge of you," and made a gesture with his hand. - Verger said, "take your Intnd out of my face, you time striking Crane's hand down. Crane said, "I don't know yon and don't want to have anything to do with you except officially." At this time witness noticed that Mr. Verger had his right hand in his bosom. Col. Crane turned . his back to Mr, Verger and took one step up street. Mr. Verger pushed him and said, "Go, you dog." Colonel Crane wheeled round and struck Col. Verger with a walking stick; they then clinched, and Mr. Verger drew a knife and commenced cutting at Col. Crane,• Mr. Crane caught Mr. Verger's arm and held it awhile; they were still struggling—Mr. Ver ger jerked his arm away and struck Col. Crane in the back; at this tine Col. Crane backed into Brown's store; the parties struggled just inside of the door; witness could see nothin,g but the arms of the parties; Col. Crane fell, and 'Verger stepped out and threw the knife at Col. Crane, saying, "Now, you d d dog, you struck me," or, "what did you strike me for;" witness could not identify the knife—did see itex - c - opt lir - An X erger's hands; at the time thought it was a ''thug' knife. There were other witnesses; but as they all agree, substantially, it is unnecessary to pub lish the testimony in full, to give our readerS an understanding of the case. Mr. Barks dale's testimony embodies that of the other witnesses.

Hoff, Esq., of the Eagle Iron Works, kept the record.

This was loaded - and tired fifty-five, dines in one minute mid quarter. The driving power is eight times as great as that of the steam ham mer, and the speed ten times. The rapidity of the movement allows the pile no rest, thereby overcoming the lateral pressure. The motive power* alWays ready„and there is no waste of power as with steam.

At CIIARLBEI STOKES', 831 Chestnut atreet To Mo'rHs cilJ TH-E ' 1P tr - B•LIO.--LHAVING 1/,&.7" Nen summarily removikl frota the office of Chief of the De/cot/re-Police, by the noting Mayor ofthis °By, without cause, and for no violation of duty or any recog! nixed rule of /hat department, A sense. of duty to myself. and the community prompts ; me to give to the public a full history of all the facts connected with that most arbitrary:and unjustifiable act: Pie March last, the District-Attorney. of Bucks county called on me at the Detective office with reference to the, detection , and recapture' of one - Aaron Allegood, alias Myers, a fugitive from justice, who ; in the month of July of !last year, had escaped' from jail at Doyleetown, where he had been , l charged with havnig coin mated numerous felonies in the upper. part of that county.. He expressed to me the Link lety of the authorities .to heve the offender arrested and lodged in their jail, and stated that a reward of ewe would he' paid on his being delivered at Doyiete town. I gave the matter in the charge of High Constable, Franklin aud Sergeant Crout. Afterwards , I received two photographs of the fugitives and other informal on frem-the DistricrAttorney, and steps were taken to lie cups his arrest, but the search preyed ineffectual. I' however directed these officers to keep the matter in band and remit no effort for his :detSctlon., .At length I lefinfed that 'Allrgqii when In the city,' frequented a certain house in New. M arket street. ThQ attention. of the officers waa immediately directed to the localityjite was informed that he was expected there at most any thee, and every preparation was made for his'arrest. On Sat nyder, the nth inst., about the same time, a prin. biter was brought to the Central Station from the North Pennsylvania Railroad Depot, charged with having stolen some passenger tickets from the Company owning that road. When ne was brought into the private office, I became satisfied, from his, general appearance and lion a few minutes ' conversation - I had with hint, that he was the fugitive whom we were anxious to • capture, and whom we expected hourly to arrive, and who had been arrested while on his way to the city. After HOMO hesita tion, when I had sent for his photograph, finding further denial unavailing,. theprisoner acknowledged to me that he was the party for whom we were in search. In reply tee my telegram, the District Attorney instructed ule to send him to Doyleatown. Sergeant emelt went with DM prisoner, iind on his return informed me that theeall road conductor who caused his arrest for the , larceny of thee tickets, and the police officer who made the erred on: his arrival at the depot, and to whom he gave the name of Myers, claimed or intended to claim the reward, they having learned meanwhile, for the first time, that he was A fugitive from Buck's county,'and was held by the au thorities of that county. On the Tuesday following the District Attorney met them at my office-by appointment, and after having : beard their , etatement, told • them that I - was entitled to the reward; as I had detected Aliegood, and caused him to be returned to jail. 'Feeling that they should be compensated for their tremble and exertions, and being desirous to conform to the practice usual In such caeca, suggested that each should take fifty dollars as' his share. They, however. (Reminded seventy-five dollars each. I then re• quested the District-Attorney to retain the amount in his Minds until his Court should decide the dispute. Before leas ing they concluded to take fifty dollars apiece,which was forthwith paid them by the District-Attorney. At the same time le gave me a check for $4llO the balance of the reward. If being the custom of the Detective Do pe rtment to share rewards among all who had been con cerned in the capture of a criminal, whether their indi vidual effort was successful or not. in conformity ; with that rule I distributed the said amount in the following manner: Officer Franklin received 5'100; Officer Crout, sle ffi known retained s. Franklin and Crout en myeelt, lU, and I the remainder, $l5O. I heed expended and advanced at different times, out of my own private funds, moneys for sundry and petty expenses amounting to about $3O. On the day following this distribution, I was notified that the Mayor wished to see me. On entering his pri vate office, I was confronted by theolice officer who _p made the arrest, the lieutenant of his district Chief Mulholland, Col. William Badger, Hein. Samuel J. Rau dell, A. W. Pletcher, and other gentlemen whom I did not know or recognize, when the Mayor abruptly and petulantly inquired of me what had become of the re ward. I immediately replied that it had been paid to me and distributed agreeably to law and the rules of the De tective Department. Without making any further In quiry, or giving mean opportunity to explain, he pererap-'. tori I y and Mau 'tin gly directed me to pay tne entire reward to the pollee officer and conductor. I still respectiully yet firmly insisted that the distribution , had been made in conformity with the practice!, apparently to the satis faction of all concerned, and contended that I was entitled to the reward. With a loud and angry tone of voice, and gesticulating violently, losing all control of himself, he declered ILO •Nvould tolerate. no such rule while he was to 'office, Meaning the practice of distribut- Me rewards. calmly suggested that such was the rule as I found it, and under which I acted. When he saw I roper to alter the rule I would cheerfully observe it, but as the money had been divided ucconitng to that rule and well reeegnizesl principles,/ here was an end of the matter, and I declined tee obey his unreationable in structions. . Under all thecirentristancei,attadted and surprised its I was, I could neither do or say Inure or ieee. Thy next der Lreceived notice of my removal.
