The clerical elopement In New York, alluded
to In The Telcorapb yesterday, has created
much talk, having proved rich morsel tor the
jtoBsips. Every effort has been made to hush
up the facts In the case to prevent scandal to the
church and congregation.
THE CHTJRCn,
at the! altar of which the reverend gentleman
ministered, Is a Methodist Episcopal one, and is
situated" In West Seventh street. Tiro congrega
tion is a very fashionable one, composed of
"wealthy and prominent citizens.
TUB CTERQTMAN.
The pastor is named Cook. lie has been but
a short time connected with the chnrch, haying
been stationed there last spring by the Annual
Conference. lie is man of pleasing address.
Ijood looking, and not more than tniriy years 01
age. He is also a fine speaker, and has a good
pulpit "presence." He was a general favorite
with his flock, very few of whom, even under
the circumstances, credit his alleged elopement.
TIIE X.AT)Y IS THE CASE.
The young lady who. as alleged, has gone off
with the Itev. Mr. Cook, is young and unmar
ried. She belongs to one of the firnt families of
New York, though her name for the present is
not made public. She is very pretty la face and
figure. She had been a Sunday school teacher
for a short time, and was also a devoted attend
ant upon the church, being puuetual at not only
the Sunday services, but also at the class and
prayer meetings.
THE ISTIMAOT
between the clergyman and tho fair lamb of his
flock had been noticed by many, and some of
the allusions thereto were not very flattering.
The comments reached the ears of the lady her
self, but she treated them with Ue utmost dis
dain, pronouncing them groundless slanders.
Even Ler mother remonstrated with her at her
carelessness in affording opportunity for the cir
culation of such reports.
THE ELOPEMENT.
Things continued in this way for some weeks,
until the rumor became common talk. This
appears to have brought matters to a crisis.
Thursday evening tho clergyman complained of
being unwell, and informed his family that he
would repair to his study and there seek repose.
He also had a sermon to prepare for Sunday, and
he desired to be left uninterrupted.
It is supposed that during this time he was
engaged in packing a trunk, which has myste
riously disappeared along with the owner. This
trunk was called for and quietly taken away
without exciting any remarks. lie was with his
family all day on Friday. Early In the evening
he put on his hat and overcoat, and telling his
wife that he would soon return, took his depar
ture as she believed to pay a visit to one of his
congregation. The hours passed wearily by and
he came not. Fearing some accident had be
fallen him, the wife became almost distracted,
and sent messengers in every direction, but
rnnlrl discover no traces of his whereabouts.
b Nothing has since been seen or heard of him.
E While the above events were transpiring, a
Jauy Close ly veiled was seen 10 eater a carriage
k on Seventh street. The vehicle drove a block or
so, when a gentleman entered, ana the driver
whipped up his horses and the carriage, with its
occupants. Was soon out of sight.
By Sunday morning the fact of the elopement
became knewn to the members of the church.
When the hour for divine service arrived, the
pastor was non est. An excuse was made for
his absence, and a stranger took his place.
The family of the erring man are, as may well
be imagined, in great distress. He leaves a
wife and two beautiful children. His domestic
relations had been always of the happiest
nature.
OTP FOR EUROPE.
It is believed the parties have gone to Europe,
having taken passage In Saturday's steamer.
This Is a mere matter of conjecture, however,
ana nothing definite is known on this point.
The lady has some acquaintances in the West,
but it is not likely she has gone there. ;
MY8TERY.
The whole affair is - surrounded with the
deepest mystery. To avoid bringing scandal on
the church, those who are known to be familiar
with the facts deny all knowledge concerning
them. Many are disposed to believe that no such
thing as an elopement has taken place, but that
the disappearance of the preacher and the lady Is a
mere coincidence which will be satisfactorily ex
plained. .
1LL1K0IS DIVOECES.
Wintering the Old Wimid-t ftomanre la
Chicago Ken.1 Ufe.
t An elderly, serious-looking individual, well
protected from the inclemency of the weather
by sundry layers of overcoats and comforters
(recently entered the office of the clerk of the
Supreme Court in Chicago in a methodical man
ner, and after spending about ten minutes in
unwrapping himself to a sufficient degree to be
able to articulate, expended about the same
period of time in slowly looking around him.
After carefully investigating the surroundings
f the highly ornamented office, the old gentle
man's eye rested upon the bland features of one
of the most gentlemanly and benevolent of
living deputy clerks.
Leaning towards him, he seriously euuuciated
the Important monosyllable, "Cap !
The personage thus adlressecl inquired for
further particulars.
"Can. ' reneated the strantrer. "are von e-lve.n
to unhitching folks here ? Do you divorce
little?"
The reply to this interrogatory was of a some
what affirmatory character, whereupon the
questioner stated bis grievance, after reluctantly
admitting that his wife bad not deserted him
neither had she been guilty of adultery, cruelty,
drunkenness, or any of the other little eccen
tricities for which the law allows a dissolution
of the marital bonds.
"The old woman. Cap," quoth he, "don't get
along well with me. She jaws me fearful, and
if any man can stand jawing, his name Is not
mine. We don't get along well together, and
haven't for the last thirty years. I there
fore want to be unhitched, and I don't
want her to know anything about it until it's all
over. I want it done now, because its getting
cold weather, and it will take a good deal to
winter her. Can I get divorced here without
Anybody finding it out for spell ?"
"My Irieud," responded the official, suavely
and kindly, "see ye yonder desk ?"
The stranger responded in the affirmative.
"If you come here in about one hour, you
will see three young men whose natural ferocity
is depicted on their countenance sitting there
together. In a moment they will bear that a
suit for divorce has been commenced. They
will rush (for the papers, will brutally assault
each other for the first chance to scan their con
tents, and then they will write for four hours
apiece. They are newspaper men, and will
write yon up for publication. They are proba
bly now in the next room, doing the same thing
for somebody else. They will write an article
About you with thirteen head lines. They will
print all you know about yourself, and all that
any one else knows, and a great deal that no
one knows. It mar, of course, do you good,
but of that you will Lave to judge yourself. You
can't get rid of them, for they are affluent and
incorruptible, and it won't be of any use to kill
them, for at their offices they keep men a great
deal worse than tbi-y are."
"Cap," slowly and sadly asked the suitor, "is
that all truei'"
"It is true, all of it, and less than the troth."
."Tien," said tie old man with a melancholy
air, as be proceeded to again envelop himself in
nis wuuitudinous wrappings, x guess 1 11 win
ter the old woman after all. 1 11 come back
again next year, and then, perhaps, them follows
Will be dead."
Silently and sorrowfully the disappointed one
pulled his hat over his eyes and quietly stol j
away.
A YOUNG CANNIBAL.
A Hon nrrlblv Ittstllates Ilia Father Pater
nal A flection Jixenaplllled.
It has become quite a popular amusement re
cently among vicious children to abuse their
parents and inflict upon them personal chastise
ment for supposed injuries received. Rarely a
day pusses that some outrage of this character
Is not brought under the notice of the police,
but, strange to say, in most cases parental love
triumphs in the end, and the transgressors
escape. The latest rase of this kind
reported occurred in New York recently,
and for heartlessness and devilish malignity has
few parallels. It appears, from the Investiga
tions of tho police, that a young reprobate, aged
nineteen years, named Peter llartt, who resides
at No. 617 Ninth avenue, with his parents, camo
home in a beastly state of intoxication. His
father, Martin Hart, reproved him for his dis
solute habits, and endeavored to point out to
him the follies of associating with vicious
young men. when Peter became highly en
raged. All the efforts of the father to
quiet him were unavailing. With fearful im
precations, he hurled himself npou tho old
man and pulled him down to the floor, where a
deadly tussle followed for some moments. The
old man finally overcame his son's muscular
struggles and held him in an iron grasp. Summon
ing aU his latent strength, the youth, crazed with
rage, pulled his parent's head down to his.
seized his lower lip between his teeth, glared
fiercely upon Hartt. Sr., and with a sudden and
quick movement rolled him off him, still clinging
to the lip. The remit was that tho flesh, from
the mouth down to the chin, was completely
stripped to the bone, presenting a frlgbtful.ap
pearance. Officer Duric, who was called in by
one of the family, arrived in time to separate
the men and witness the young Hartt spit
out the bleeding flesh torn from his parent's
faco. He arrested him and locked him up in the
Twenty-fifth street station house for the night.
The young cannibal offered no excuse for his
brutality, and seemed only to regret that he had
not inflicted more serious injuries on the "old
man." At seven o'clock in the morning the old
man declined to go to court, and forgave his
brutal son, who was consequently discharged.
Surgeon Smith, who attended the elder Hartt,
states that he will carry the marks of his child's
brutality to his grave.
GENERALITIES.
The Rowland Will Cue.
At a term of the Probate Court held in Fall
River on Saturday, Judge Bennett granted the
petition of Thomas Mandell, executor of tho
will of the late Sylvia Ann Howland, asking
authority to compromise the suit and demand
of the heir-at-law, Mrs. Hetty H. Green. This
compromise simply relates to the payment of
the costs of the plaintiff in equity (?), which are
to be paid, we presume, out of the estate, or
that portion of It, to the income of which Mrs.
Green is entitled. The adjustment, when com
pleted by the proper entries In the United States
Supreme Court at Washington, will leave the
will affirmed in every particular, and the exe
cutor free to. execute ft according to its wise
and benevolent previsions.
' ' A Alan Marries hla Stepmother.
From the Bristol (Va.) Sews,
Some days ago the community in the vicinity
of Carter's Station was considerably exercised
over the announcement that a Mr. Lyon, who
lived in the neighborhood, had married his
mother. It seems that Lyon's father had been
twice married, and the children by the first wife
continued to live in the family after the second
marriage; Lyon, the father, died, leaving his
secoBd wife a widow, and Lyon, the son, mar
ried bis father s widow. The clerk Issued the
license without a knowledge of the facts, and
the minister requested to solemnize the mar
riage declined; a magistrate likewise refused,
and the pair crossed over to Stony Creek, where
they were unknown, and were married.
Insecure Ice A Little Boy Drowned.
A little fellow, four years old, broke through
the ice of a pond on Fifth avenue, New York,
yesterday, and was drowned. The llcr aid Bays:
As soon as it became known in the neighbor
hood that a boy had been drowned a large crowd
commenced gathering, and in less tbau half an
hour fully 2000 people of both sexes were at the
scene of the occurrence. Several gentlemen
commenced the lmmediato construction of a
huge raft, upon which they purposed to push
themselves out to the break so as to obtain the
body of the unfortunate boy. Some parties
arrived with a small boat, and with it they suc
ceeded, by dint of considerable exertion, in
breaking the ice away before them and getting
out to the place where the boy had gone
through. They soon found the body, which they
brought ashore and conveyed to the Nineteenth
precinct station house, where the father (who
resides at No, 'Ml Third avenue) and two bro
thers arrived soon after. The scene after their
arrival was truly heartrending. jaThe father
threw himself upon tho corpse, ofie unfortu
nate boy and wept most piteously, while the two
brothers gave vent to their feelings in the most
affecting manner.
A Hell Gate Death II I ant.
On Saturday afternoon, during the sinking of
a shaft at Hell Gate, a blasting accident oc
curred, attended with fatal results. Whenever
a blast fuse is lighted, a horn is sounded to warn
all persons to move out of dauger. At 3 o'clock
on Saturday the usual slgual was heard, and the
customary stampede followed. An immense
piece of rock, weighing 143 pounds, was by the
force of the explosion hurled luto tho air a dis
tance of 180 feet. On its descent it fell into the
roof of the engine-house, crushing through and
dropping on the bead of the engineer, Mr.
David Shine, fracturing his skull. Roth Mr.
Lacy and Mr. Shine thought themselves per
fectly safe in the engine house, as they had
ofteu sheltered themselves, within It during
blasting operations. Mr. Slime was the last of
a family of three sons, all of whom died sud
denly. Princely Gift bjr a German Maran.
The German Hospital of New York has re
ceived from Germany an unexpected gift of
$50,000 In 5-30s. Tho giver was the Baron von
Dlergardt, a young man who has just inherited
a large fortune, and begins by making use of it
in this manner. He has never been in the United
States, and was doubtless prompted to this great
uct of charity by finding a large quantity of
United States bonds among his inheritance.
The hospital, which is at the corner of Fourth
avenucand Seventy-seventh street, N. Y.,will be
greatly benefited by this acquisition.
A Jew Murder hl Hon for Marrying ' a
(Jurlnllan.
Five Jews, named Moses Schneider, Mayor
Brecher, Abraham Moses Schneider, Joseph
Landau, and Moses Teldmann havo just been
tried for the murder of Abraham Teldmaun, son
of the latter, at Tarnapol, in Oallcla. It ap
pears that the deceased had made an offer of
marriage to a Christian girl, and that she had
accepted him on his promising to become a
Christian also. Having heard of this promise
the accused men assembled In the house of Moses
Teldmann, and warmly upralded young Teld
mann for his apostacy. The latter, however,
remained obstinate, and during the altercation
the father threw a sling rope around his neck
and pulled at it, assisted by the other mon, until
his son was strangled. The case was clearly
proved against the defendants. Moses Teld
mann ana Mayer Brecher were sentenced to be
hanged, and the other three to ten years' lmprl
lopmeut with hard labor.
AN APTALL1NQ DESCENT.
A Nailer Falls On Hundred Feet.
About 10 o'clock yesterday, says the Ban Fran
cisco liulletin of the 81st ult., as a reporter for
this paper was rambling along the wharves,
viewing the shipping, man-traps, and other ob-
Iects of interest, nis attention was called to a
tarque lying at India Dock. A sailor belonging
to the barque Anne Main was engaged in reev
ing a yard-rope at the main top-gallant mast
head, and as he appeared to experience some
difficulty in performing the work, a number of
longshoremen and others were watching his
manoeuvres with considerable interest. The ac
tion of the waves caused the vessel .to rock a
little, not enough to startle any sea-faring man,
however, or cause any hesitation on his part to
go aloft, and it was noticed that the man moved
around very cautiously. Ho had nearly suc
ceeded la accomplishing his task, when the ves
sel gave an extra severe larch; ho lost his foot
ing and hold, and fell from the giddy height.
Immediately on leaving the head of the mast, his
body assumed a horizontal position, and,
striking the malnyard below, he turned a com
plete summersault in the air, and terminated his
terrlblo fall on a pile of dunnage near tho main
hatch. The spectators in the vicinity, who had
watched his course with baled breath, now
rushed to his rescue, and fonnd him still alive,
though suffering the most intense agony. His
right side, from shoulder to knee, was badly
bruised, the thigh broken, and he gave evidence
of severe internal injuries. It is barely possible
that he will recover, but those who witnessed his
frightful fall, who saw him clutch for the rones
whilo going through the air, finally receiving
sueh a terrible check, would deem such a result
miraculous. Upon subsequent inquiry we ascer
tained that the man bore the name of Tiercy,
was thirty years of age, and he came on board
the vessel Anne Main, and shipped as a seaman
this morning. He was removed to the City and
County Hospital by order of the captain of the
bark, who did everything In his power to alle
viate his sufferings. ,
AN INDIANA WHOPPER.
A Wiswer of Meteoric Ntonea and a T.uoar
Citizen The Cardiff Giant Untiled.
The Crawfordsville (Ind.) Journal Is respon
sible for the following:
We are informed that on New Year's day there
was a Gravel Road meeting at the old Gllkey
Saw Mill in this county. At about 2 o'clock r.
M. the meeting was broken up by sharp, deto
nating noises like cannon, on the bluff south of
the mill. Proceeding to the spot, the crowd
found many holes in the ground, which emitted
smoke and steam. On investigation, it was
found that each hole was the receptacle of a
stone ranging from a pound to ten pounds in
weight. They were very hot, of volcanic forma
tion, and were evidently meteoric, and had just
descended to the earth.
' While expressing their astonishment, the men
assembled were terror-stricken by a strange, un
earthly noise, like the ricocheting of a shell, and
with a tremendous "thug" some heavy body
struck the ground not twenty yards distant; and
from the hole just made was emitted smoke and
steam equal to that of a steam engine. The hole
was some six feet in length, by two in breadth,
and the falling body had penetrated the earth
some four or five fee( to tho solid rock.
But now comes tho strangest part of the story,
and but for the reliability of our many inform
ants, would be looked upon by us as the inven
tion of some modern Baron Munchausen. The
stone, on being excavated, was found to have
the human form divine. It resembles common
meteoric stones in its formation, bnt has the
perfect form of a full-grown man. The fea
tures,' finger-nails, and hair, all are perfect. The
legSAre straight, and arms folded on the breast.
It measures 5 feet 10 inches in length. Seve
ral scientific men have already examined it. but
what puzzles the most astute of them is its hav
ing the human form. ..
Another Horrible Kerosene Casualty.
An Inquest was held yesterday in New York
upon tho bodies of Bridget Miller, aged tweuty
seven, and Jobauna Miller, her daughter, aged
two years, who died from the effects of burns
caused by the explosion, of a cau of kerosene.
The husband and father is employed in Cypress
Hills Cemetery, and his family resided In the
vicinity. On Sunday morning Mrs. Miller, while
making a fire, took a can of kerosene and poured
it upon the coals, to make them burn more
quickly. The fire communicated to the can,
which instantly exploded, scattering the burn
ing oil over the woman's garments. The child,
eoelng her mother in flames, ran to help her,
and took hold of her clothing, when her dress
also caught fire, and before assistance could
reach them they were so badly burned that
nothing could be done to save them After
lingering through the night in great agony they
died yeBtcrday morning.
i THE NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.
From tht K. T. Herald.
"The week opened on an animated state of ailairs
In Walt street, general attention being again directed
to the gold market, where dealings were of an ex
cited and feverish character. The clique programme
for an advance being seriouBly Interfered with by
the extra sale of Government gold, an ingenloas
plan was devised to do away with its injurious influ
ence upon the 'bull' movement. Wheu the bids for
the 11,070,000 at the Bun-Treasury came to be opened,
it was found that there were as many as
forty-seven proposals for a total of nearly
seven and a half millions of dollars. The
prices, however, were in most instances so far below
the market that the cliques who were the Instigators
of the orders to the different brokeis knew they
would not be accepted, or, if accepted, that the gold
would be obtained at a very cheap rate as compared
with the price in the Gold Room. The amount bid
for 7,in,000 is the largest recorded under similar
circumstances. The effect upon the market was
magical. Gold, which had opened at 'lt and
declined to 121?, before the sale, now ran up to
Wilx amid great excitement. As the after
noon progressed it becaino evident that
the cliques were taking advantage of the
opportunity to sell, and as at this time
a telegram from Washington announced the Intro
duction of Senator buuiuer's bill for a return to
specie payments, the price gradually declined to
122K. It Is not to be inferred, however, that the
'bull' tactics have been abandoned. The combina
tions who are manipulating the market are san
guine of putting gold to iso, which is an advance
as much beyond its real value as its recent price
llt;,--was fall below. The clear rise
would, however, be only ten per
cent. But, by these intermediate
fluctuations, selling at a small advance
and buying back at a small decline, they intend to
net thirty, forty, or perhaps even lifty per cent. In
the advance from 120 to liio. Such, therefore, is the
situation of the gold market ac present, sud It pro
mises to develop In interest each day. The specu
lative spirit so long dormant has been arouxed, .and
the victims of the great gold smash are among the
in oh t eager to retrieve their losses.
"The money market was easy at six to seven per
oent as the rate on call loans, with pledge of Gov
ernment and miscellaneous collaterals. While the
greater number of transactions took place at 7 per
cent., there were more at the lower rate than on
Saturday, wheu money was loaned at six per cent,
for the first time since the Initiation of tho fall
activity. Commercial paper was more current at
previously quoted rates, the rate on call not as yet
operating for a decline in discounts, m
"A buoyant market for Governments ensued upon
the advance in gold, and the prominent dealers re
port a scarcity In bonds which embarrasses them in
the fulfilment of orders. A private telegram from
the Treasury Department, received to-day In answer
to a request fer mformation, states that (he fuuded
debt conHlsts of $00,000,000 registered bonds and
l,300,()00,ooo coupon bonds. Inasmuch as about
11,000,000,000 or the latter is held In Europe, and as
the balance la largely in the possession or bauks,eor
porations, andprlvate investors, thojsoarctty or the
speculative laxueH in Wall street is readily accounted
for. The market at the close was a fraction below
the highest prices or the day."

SWILL MILK.
Mr. Brra.h and the Mllk-Malds-A Visit to the
tables Abominations In Williamsburg Mix
Hundred Dead Animals Kottlngat the Ferry.
Yesterday as the clocks of Williamsburg were
striking one, a party of six gentlemen stepped
from a Grand street ferry-boat and proceeded
hastily in the direction of North First street.
The leader was Henry C. Bcrgh, the well-known
philanthropist, and President of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
A HOU6E OP DEATH.
After walking only three blocks from the
main thoroughfare, the party' entered the stable
on the corner of North Fifth nnd First sts. The
stench was sickening, aud tho first impulse was
to withdraw from the premises. A group of
Hibernian "milkmaids" stood near the main en
trance, and when the tall figure of Mr. Bergh
appeared, they looked at each other in a most
inquiring manner. One of the "unwashed"
ventured to remark that the weather looked like
snow. The good looking pastor from Twenty
third street walked among the cattle with bold
ness, and Mr. Bergh and his detectives picked
their, way through the gloom cautiously, bnt be
fore proceeding far they had to return and open
the wooden shatters before they could see with
any satisfaction.
TnB VENTILATION.
The ventilation was so bad that one could
hardly draw in a full breath. The few shutters
on the front side of the table did some good,
but they were closed when the party arrived.
So dark was the Interior, that a person could
scarcely recognize an Intimate friend at ten feet
distance. The cows were covered with filth,
and most of them were bloated and diseased.
The feedlng-tronghs were slimed with swill,
and ever' timber throughout the stable was
sticky with the noxious vapors that were con
stantly rising from this prison-house of death.
The floor was completely saturated with filth,
and the very walls were suggestive of disease.
8cores of animals were lying down, and not a
few of them appeared almost helpless. It took
some time for one to walk through the passage
ways, and altogether there could not have been
less than 200 cows confined in the building. The
"milkmaids" attempted to justify their treat
ment of the poor brutes, and two or three of the
more intelligent even hinted that no "anlmules"
in the country were better treated. The best of
hay was given, and they had all they wanted of
it, besides a "plenty" of other food.
TUB lfOKGUB.
Leaving tho heated air of the stable, the party
followed the detectives iuto a yard in the rear.
Here lay an animal stiff and cold. The sight
was horrible, for cow was almost - skin and
bone. The "bloated fatness" bad disappeared,
und only a heap of putrid flesh and rotten bones
remained. Huge swill tanks were on every
side, and some of them had capacity for more
than a thousand gallons. The others held about
five hundred gallons. In all there were 27 of these
Ewill tubs. A large distillery stood at the upper
end of the yard, and formerly, when it was
running, fully 600 cows were kept here. Then
the swill came scalding hot from the distillery,
and the neighborhood was pestilent with sick
ening vapors. The hnge pipes which were used
to convey the liquor to different parts of tho
stables are still remaining. Some of them are
as large as a fish cask. As it was impossible to
obtain the names of the proprietors of the cows,
the following names were copied from the nu
merous milk wagons in the yard:
l'UKI miiky
- "J. B. Bender, dairy milk."
John A. Henry, Astoria M'lk Dairy depot, pure
milk.
P. Seamar, Na 98 John street, Brooklyn, E. D.,
pure Ousens county milk.
J. Middlecamp, No. U24 First street, Brooklyn, E.
D.. Kings county. L. I., "pure milk."
R. O. Orady, KintrBcouuty, Brooklyn, L. I.
K. M. Conn. L. I. Milk Dairy. Ofllce No. 270 Second
Street, Brooklyn, K. D.
J. Regan, Brooklyn, K. D.
A MONUMENT TO TUB BOAUD OF HBALTQ.
Leaving this place the party walked to the
foot of North Sixth street, which lnuot more than
two blocks distant. Hers is the offal dock,
where one t rank Swift, an offal contractor, do-
fosits the carouses of horses and eows that die
n the city. The stench was enough to-sink
an ordinary schooner, and it required
heroism on tho part -of Mr. Bcrgh and his
companions to approach it. Fully 600 dead
animals were piled up on tho dock and a
barge moored to the pier. Nearly all of the
cows bore the marks of the swill-milk disease.
Mr. Bergh said that he had informed the Board
of Health about this nuisance, but still they re
main a disgrace to barbarism. A detective said
that these decaying bodies had been here for
two months. There were enough carcases to
cover an acre lot so that the bodies would almost
touch each oihr.

Court of Quarter nesslons Allison, P. J.
This morning the trial of Robert Haml'ton and
James Atwell rorc.ompltelty in the attempt to mur
der James J. Brook was resumed. The Common
wealth having closed yesterday, after having ad
duced the statement or Lewis Wood, an Ameri
canised Jew, to the effect that on the Saturday
preceding the shooting he saw Atwell give Hamilton
lifty dollars for the part he was to play in the pro
posed ssasMnatlon, the defense this morning called
witnesses to prove that this witness had spoken
falsely concerning tils name and other matters, and
was unworthy or beller, and that Hamilton was not
at the time designated at Atwell1 distillery, the
place where the payment or this money was said to
have been made. Also, that on the day or the shoot
ing Hamilton was not at Front and Arch streets, but
was all day in the lower part of the city.

J. A. Owens vs. Jacob 8 peel man. This Is an ac-
tion of slander brought by Mr. Owens, a member of
tho bar, against Bpeelman, ror defamation of charac
ter, It being alleged that he circulated among the
Germans or the city the report that Mr. Oweus, as ,
connsel for the Commonwealth In a criminal prose
cution against a German for bigamy, sold out trie !
cause, abandoned It, aud neglected It, being moved '
by bnle. The troth of the matter wa that the
caose was prosecuted with the most marked ability
and unceasing industry, and resmted In conviction

arrest of judgment, which added greatly to the
labor or the cause, were all faithftilly argued by Mr.
Owens and decided In his favor. Tnen the Injured

bis paramour, and Speelman here took occasion
sedulously and with seal to ply his slanderous re

ployed tor the conduct or this ease. Such action did 1
great injury to Mr. Owens, who derived a very con- :
slderable portion or his practice rrom Germans, for
the repair or which and the vindication of his repu
tation this suit was brought. On trial.
