MOTHER" MENDELBAUM.
Little Prospect of Getting Her Back
Before the New York Courts.
New Yobx, Dec. 12. "I am much cha
grined at the facility with which Mother
Mendelbaum and her two accomplices have
eluded justice,' were the words of Dist. Atty.
Oiuey to-day, and this expresses the univer
sal feeling in this city. Steps will be immed
iately taken to confiscate the property of
the Mendelbium's bondsmen, and only the
outcome of this prolonged nnd costly prose
cution will be increased vigilance by the
authorities in the direction of cutting off
Canadian refuse in the future. To-night's
advices from Hamilton, Out., are that the
Washington authorities have asked the Governor-General
to exert hi prerogative and
hand over the prisoners to the United States
authorities without extradition, as a matter
of international courtesy, but the request
was ignored. Steel, Canadian counsel for
Madame Mandelbaum, will move to-morrow
to recover the jewels, which are valued
at U, from the Custom authorities, as it
is generally thought that the seizure was
illegal. Mrs. Mendelbaum has separated
from tlietwo men, but all three remain in
Hamilton.

FRIDAY IN CONGRESS.
EVENING SESSION IN THE HOUSE.
Mr. Wise Disposed to Prevent any
Legislation at the Night Session
Pension Matters Considered.
Wasuinoton, De.c. 12. The House adopted
a concurrent resolution offered by Mr. Kills
(La.) providing that a committee consisting
of tho President of the Senate and thirteen
Senators and the Speaker of the House and
one Representative or delegate from each
State or Territory bo appointed to partici
pate in the ceremony of opening the New
Orleans Exposition by telegraph on the 10th
inst.
Mr. Warner (O) stated that by direction
of the pensions committee he rose to a ques
tion of privilege. He offered a paper charg
ing that on July 5 last Mr. J.D.Taylor
spoke six minutes on the Mexican pension
bill and two day laW obtained leave to ex
tend hia remarks in the Jiecord; that taking
advantage of this he had printed in the
Ilecord on August" 1, after Congress had ad
journed, a speech which did not contain his
remarks in the House, but in which lie as
sailed members of the committees of the
House, itself, and at least one committee of
the Senate. Mr. Warner declared uch ref
erence unparliamentary and an abuse of
the Hour of Representatives.
Mr. Brown (Ind.) made the point of order
that this was not a question of privilege, but
the chair held that it was a question to be
decided by the House.
ETKNINQ 8E8SIOM.
Before recess this afternoon G. D.Wise, of
Virginia, made the point of order that no
quorum had voted for a recess, but on the
appeal of Democratic member?, withdrew
his point of order, but gave notice that he
would insist that no bill should pass at the
night session, unless there was a quorum
present.
At to-night's session Wise said he had in
his hurry gone too far, what he meant was
that no bill not absolutely meritorious,
should be passed without a quorum. He
said hundreds of pensioners had been placed
on the roll for political purposes.
Mr. Funston (Kansas) asked if he referred
to the pension to Mrs. F. P. Blair, Jr., as n
political pension. Mr. Henderson (Ills.)
asked Mr. Wise to name a pension granted
for political purposes. He said if he knew
of a single case where a pension was being
fraudulently drawn, it was his duty to repoit
it and have it stopped.
Several members took exception to Wise's
reflections upon the members of the Pen
sion Committee. A bill was passed giving
Mrs. DeLong a pension of :) per month.
The next bill was to pension Joseph Raible,
who lost an arm after his discharge, while
firing a salute at Indianapolis, in honor of a
regiment returning home after the close of
the war. To this bill Wise objected, and in
sisted upon a quorum. To avoid a full stop
of proceedings the bill was informally passed
over, as there were others likely to meet
with the same opposition. Ten bills were
agreed to in committee, reported to the
House, passed, and at 10:10 p. m. the House
adjourned until Monday.
BOYS WILL BE BOYS.
Three of them who have Gone South
to Make Fortunes.
Cincinnati, O., Dec. 12. Day before yes
terday Wm. F. Strong, living in Hartwell,
packed his household goods in a freight car,
and startod in the evening for Jacksonville,
Fla. The next morning it was discovered
that three young boys of the village, sons of
excellent parents had disappeared. Then
it leaked out that they had concealed them
selves in the car, and had started to Florida,
where thay expect to make their fortunes.
Before going they provided themselves with
twenty loaves of bread, two dozen bottles of
beer, a big roast of beef and a cask of water.
The car will be two weeks upon the road,
and unless tho boys were released by some
providence, they will certainly be starved by
the time they reach their destination. Of
course, the car is locked and it is impossible
for them to get out unaided.

A MAD RUNAWAY.
Two Ladies are Severely Injured by a
Runaway Horse on Jefferson Avenue.
Tuesday afternoon Geo. G. Van Hoten,
an undertaker living at 27C College avenue,
hitched his horse in front of DeYoung's gro
cery, corner of Jefferson and Wealthy ave
nue, and went to attend to some business.
The horse became frightened, broke loose
and ran wildly down Jefferson. Mrs. C. B.
Judd, of C7 Fountain street and a visiting
friend,MUs White,of Colorado Springs, CoL,
were driving south on the s&me avenue and
tried to avoid the running house, but were,
unluckily, unable to do bo. The wheeU of
the driverless wagon struck their osrn and
turned them violently into the gutter. Mrs.
Judd was struck in the face with a broken
thill of the undertaker's wagon and received
a most severe gash on the scalp und right
cheek, while Miss White was badly bruised
about the head. It was a narrow escape for
both ladies.
OFFICER COGSWELL'S CASE.
The Jury Disagree and a New Trial
is Ordered.
In the case of fake imprisonment brought
against Officer D. F. Cogswell, of the police
force, in Justice Sinclair's court, the jury
disagreed yesterday, and a new trial was
ordered beginning this morning at 9 o'clock.
Tho claim of the defense is that when Mr.
Cogswell arrested Wm. Murphy, in the pres
ence of his friend, Thompson, the in
formant, he followed the prisoner and officer
to police headquarters, as frequently occurs
in street arrests, and when about to consign
Murphy to a cell, Clerk Johnson asked:
" And is he (Thompson), arrested," Officer
Cogswell replied. "No, I have nothing
against him." Clerk Johnson testified to
these facts, as also did the officer, and further
that Thompson was not searched, and in no
wise treated as a prisoner. Hence the disa
greement of the first jury may be corrected
by a second one to-day.
'Romany Rye.
This popular spectacular melodrama, with
its two car loads of newly painted scenery,
will hold the boards at Powers'a next Mon
day and Tuesday evenings. A strong play,
intensely interesting in story, and beautiful
in stage pictures, interspersed by a well
balanced company, it should, with the re
membrance of the good impression it made
here last year, attract good houses.
The Humorists To-Night.
The intelligence of the city will doubtless
turn out en masse to-night, to hear Mark
Twain and Geo. W. Cable, who will appear
at Powers's Opera House, each giving selec
tions from their works. An exchange says
of Twain:
' To see Mark Twain is to laugh, and to
hear him is to laugh still more. His drollery
is phenomenal, alwavs fresh and always en
tertaining. His struggle with the German!
language and his trying conversation with
the young American lady in the hotel dining
room at Lucerne were especially funny,
while tho ghost story had a startling conclu
sion. YESTERDAY'S COURTS.

besides the others: she staid fifteen or twenty
days: I think Mrs. Swartout was there;
Dr. Eplay came in at 3 or 4 o'clock; he

tion was given five or ten minutes after he

day, Mary Heath was there.
Re-direct Her husband felt of her pulse

cations and pellets of ice; she complained of
dizziness; prescribed on symptoms as given
by Mr. and Mrs. Millard; on 2Jth or 27th

to administering; gave bismuth and mor
phine in powder to allay vomiting; nnx
vomica was given in drop doses; given every
time she vomited; the pule was very feeble:
the breathing on the night of the 8th was
somewhat hurried; the morning of the Vlh
it va unnaturally quick: the body was cool;
noticed no traces of fever; don't remember
that she said anything about heat on the
niaht of the 8th or the morning of the 0th:
there was some one fanning her on the nizht
of the 8th: no one fanned her on the morn
ing ofthJth; heard her reqnet to b fan
ned; don't rf member whether he did the

costiveues.; can't ay that I gave the in
jection ou the 2Cth; can't answer as to the
medicine I gave on the 20th of April; think I
gave an einema that day, also think I pre
scribed warm applications to the stomach;
think I prtcribeHl a blister for her back the
first day I was there; inquired about the ef
fect of the blister the next day; ltarned that
it had been removed; think it was there on
the 27th, was there next on May second;
think I prescribed for her on -Jili and i50th;
directed Mr. Millard how to use the medi
cine, to use a little more for the
stomach ' than usual; an excessive dose,
of hydrate of chloral would have a poisonous
effect; it would not produce vomiting; it
would have nearly the same effect if Injected
or taken in at the month; fin injt-ction given
to a person with a diseased stomach would
not have the Ktmo effect as on a healthy
stomach; don't remember that I prescribed
nny medicine May 3; was there May 4; think
I put up some medicine that day; prescribed
on May C; don't recollect what was there on
the evening of May 8; directed her to take
nux vomica in drop doses; she was in very
bad condition on May 'J: left some medicine
that day; can't tell exactly what I gave; think
I put my hand on her stomach; could not
say that I testified to this before; it was the
latter part of the sickness; when I first
called, from the information I got from Mr.
Millard, I called her troubles spinal irrita
tions; about the 2.th the stomach difficulty
developed into an aggratte J ft rm; treated
her then for inflammation of the stomach.
bed later.
on the2Cth or 27th there was inflammation
of the stomach; met Dr. Pray there on the
27th; we agreed as to treatment; on the 3d
of February I prescribed on the information
Mr. Millard gave me; September, 1861, I
discovered no inflammation of the stomach;
met Dr. Pray there again May 3; don't
think there was any conclusion arrived at
different from inflammation of the etomach;
did net have entire charge of the case.
