Was a notable bit of character work, both in make
up and acting; Mr. Lipman was a handsome and
acceptable representative of Ned Ramsey, the not
•too particular friend of Jack Lustre; Mr. Gobsay
gave a worthy portraiture of the henpecked judge,
and Mr. Sam Glenn’s dialect as Old Jacob Burts de
served the hearty recognition of favor it received.
The scenic setting was appropriate. The locality
5n which the action of the piece occurs is—Eliza

Take it for all in all, nothing in the farcical line,
as devoid of offense, as wholesome in its humor, as
Jbright and mirth-provoking in its nature, nor as
capitally represented by its leading representatives
in the cast, has been seen on our stage " this many

Bill’s Wild West.—As the
£lon. Wm. F. Cody, known to all the world as Buf
falo Bill—puts it—here are a few reasons why you
who read these lines, shotill visit not only once,
!but a dozen times, his realistic reproduction of

tic details. You will see Buffalo Bill and an exhibi
tion that has been witnessed and endorsed by
president Arthur and Cabinet; Gen. Sheridan and
Btaff; Gens. Sherman, Crook, Miles, Carr, &c.; Ris
tori, Patti. Nevada, Booth. Irving. Barrett, Bennett,
.Patterson. Childs, Vanderbilt, Belmont and Drexel.
At each performance at the magnificent grounds
•on Staton Island, since the opening, the audiences
Jhave been literally packed, and the grand stand
ffeemed like a vast sea of human faces. No exhibi
tion illustrating the reality of the most romantic
■jjhase of American life has ever been presented to
the public, nor one possessing so much of absorb
ing interest in every detail.
! Among the most notable and interesting features
Df life in the Wild West, as illustrated here are: A

During the week she will be seen as the heroine of
''Rosenthal’s picturesque drama, •* Leah, the For
saken," as Juliet, in “ Romeo and Juliet," and in
the old English comedy of the “Love Chase."
This repertoire will be likely to tax the abilities
t)f the young actress to the fullest extent, and show
jto a New York audience the talent she is said to
possess. It is stated that Miss Levere has been
meeting with considerable success in these roles, in
other cities. She will have the assistance of a
specially selected company, and the plays will be
appropriately staged. The cast will include Mr.

The beautiful and soul satisfying Kyrle
Bellew addressed a letter to the editor of the Londoni Era
which explains itself. “It is a just tribute,’ although
scarcely needed to rhe veteran manager and comedian
in reference to whom it was written. .
London, June 15, ’B6. Sir: I hardly know how to ad
dress you on a matter that indirectly concerns me, inso
much as it is of vital importance to my manager, Mr.
Lester Wallack; but Tam empowered by him to speak
openly and emphatically, and, therefore, feel little lear,
as I write more on his behalf than my own. .
From some motive that need not be inquired into, cum
municalions have been made to the press in this countiy
reflecting on Mr. Lester Wallack's credit and capacity as
a manager. These reports, circulated here, through
eminently respectable papers, have created an impres
sion among those who are not acquainted with Ameri
can affairs, which are highly detrimental to Mr. Wallack s
Theatre and business. • . .
Allow me, therefore, space in your paper to say that,
personally, I can assert positively the financial position
of Wallack’s Theatre is unquestionably sound; that Mr.
Wailack himself is in full control of his theatre; that he
is not insolvent; and that the numerous reports to the
contrary printed here in England are utterly and entirely
false and malicious. , , ..
Mr. Wallack is at once tl e most respected and the
most reliable manager in the United States of America,
and any author, actor, or employee of his might just as
soon expect to receive fale treatment at the hands oi
Henry Irving as at those of rhe gentleman 1 have the
honor and pleasure of calling my manager.
Apologizing for intruding on your space—always, i
know, open to a good cause, /
I am, yours,- while,
Kyrle Bellew.
This is the gossip in -which Brother
Dalziel, in his News Letter, indulges concerning his dear
friend E. E. Rice, and Riee's “Evangeline
I understand there is a disagreement between Miss ve
rona, one of the shining lights of “The Evangeline Co.
and the Adonis-like Mr. Tillotson. The disagreement *s
on no less interesting a subject than the fair lady s
tights. I believe in “Evangeline” she changes these
rather necessary garments five times, and she thinkashe
ought to have some new ones. To this Mr. Tillotson,
with a very praiseworthy eye to economy, does not agree,
but at last accounts he was to take the’tights home and ■
examine them thoroughly before a final decision'was- ar- ,
rived at. I rather fancy I see the extremely dignified
gentleman examining those affairs with a criticareye;
Ed. Rice is expected back in New York. His frequent
appeals to Mr. Tillotson for money have not met witn
much response, and very likely he has taken it into Ins
head to see what he can do for himself. It appears tnat
when Rice went to Europe he told Tillotson that if any
money was needed for “ Evangeline ” all he would have
to do would be to send him a cable and he would dispatch
four or five hundred at any time. With this understand
ing they shook hands and Ed. Rice sailed. Not very long
after Mr. Tillotson received the following cable:
“ Dixey a great success. Cable four hundred dollars.
Tillotson replied: , , „
“ Business bad. Cable the four hundred dollars you
promised.” , ..
To this no reply came, but in about two weeks there
came another cable from Rice, this time asking tor five
hundred dollars, to which no reply was sent. All this is,
of course, very proper, inasmuch as Ed. Kice had over
drawn his account with the “ Evangeline ” concern, and
Tillotson is determine I that the company shall in no
way be hurt or imperiled by any of Mr. Rice's outsjde
schemes. In this be is very right. There is a splendid
chance for the “ Evangeline ” Company.
In the days of Queen Elizabeth the
prices of admission, to a theatre in London were very
moderate. “ Let me never look so high as the two
penny room again,” says Ben Jonson, in the prologue to
“Every Man out of Humor,” acted for the first, time at
the Globe at Bankside, 1599. The price of the best rooms
or boxes was a shilling, of the lower places twopence
and some places one penny. The twopenny mentioned,
bv “Jonson ” was the gallery. Decker says: “ Pay your
twopence to a player, and you may sit in the gallery.
This place seems to have been very disreputable, for it is
commonly described as the resort of pickpockets, cut
purses and prostitutes. The lords’ rooms ran. over the
-tage, and answered tn the present stage boxes. Price to
them one shilling. Decker, in his “Girl's Horn-Book,
tells us, at a new play, “ You take up the twelvejenny ,
room next the stage, because the lords and you may
seem to be hail-feliow well met.”
The attachment of the English Ros
clus “ to the fascinating actress Peg Woffington ” was
well known. When Garrick was in Dublin they resided
together. It is said that he made her an offer of mar
riage. The day was fixed. Breakfasting together on the .
nuptial morn, she observed her imended bridegroom ap
>eared very dull. She rallied him upon it, but found it
mpossible to rouse him. “ I can guess the' cause/ 1 ’ she
said. “ You regret the step you are about io take ?” He
made no answer. After a pause, she continued. “Is it
so ? We are not at the altar, and if you pos. c e-<sea ten
times tne wealth, fame and ability that the world gives
you credit for, I would not, alter this silent, eloquent con
fession, become your wife.”
Sixty years ago Hazlett wrote that the
stage of his day was barren of great actors, and yet Ma
cready lived, and Miss O’Niel and Liston and the elder
Kean. Thirty years later Burton talked in the same
strain. At rehearsal one morning seme one spoke highly
of the promise of a young actor who was growing into
considerable notice, when Mr. Burton said, “The young
man is entirely without ability—in fact, the stage is in a
dreadful state. The ereat players are dying off, and we
have no one to replace them.” And yet within sound of
the big man’s voice stood a pair of players who afterward
became famous—John E. Owens and Joseph Jefferson.
Mrs. Charles L. Davis is suing “Alvin
Joslin ” for divorce, and on June 28, in this city, he
gave bail in $5,000 in proof that he did not, as she had
alleged in her affidavit, mein to have this State in a
hurry. The lady admits that there was no marriage cere
mony, although she urges that there was an agreement
to act as and ap, ear to be man and wife. She was in the
ballet of “The Merry War” at the Star Theatre before
Mr. Davis and herself became enamored. Mr. Davis
asks his iriends to suspend judgment until the case is
properly tried, and says he will bring out some interest
ing counter evidence.
Next season Mr. James H. Wallick
will produce an entirely new play by W. H. Young, en
titled “ The Cattle King,” which will be presented with
new scenery, painted expressly for this production. The
furniture which will be used is made ot horns of Texas
cattle and the carpets are manufactured of the different
colored hides of the same animal. The company wh ch
has been selected is a very strong one, and Mr. Wallick’s
four acting horses will take part in the production. The
season will open August 29th.
When Col. J. Mapleson quit San Fran
cisco he left behind some ot the baggage of Her Maiesty’s
Opera Company. It had been seized, upon an attach
ment in favor of the Union Pacific Railroad Company, to
satisfy a bill of $2,580 for transportation. It was sold
the other day, and the trunks contained costumes used in
“William Tell,” “L’Africaine” and “Carmen;” also
suits of armor, chariots, stage weapons and the Eke.
Part of the elephant us d in “ L’Africaine” was there,

The death is announced of Madame
Matz-Ferrare, a lady who sang soprano parts in *• Gene
vieve de Brabant,” “ Orphee,” Ac., at the Gaite, Paris,
during Offenbach’s short reign there, and who also
appeared about the same period at other Paris houses.
She was a very delicate woman, and has now succumbed
to consumption at Bone, near Algeria. Her husband is
an orchestra conductor. Madame Matz-Ferrare was only
forty-two.
Madame Carvalho has received the
magnificent flower vase in Sevres china, pre ented to
her by the French government, on the occasion ot her
farewell performance last year. It is a work of art. of
great price, being valued at £I,OOO sterling. On one
side is an excellent picture representing a scene from
“Faust,”and under it the following inscription: ‘ Le
Cl Government de laßepublique a Madame Miolan-Car
valho.”
A new system of floats or footlights is
also in course of being elaborated out of a new gas-burn
er, devised by Frederick Siemens, of London and Dres
den. In this burner, which is flat, the air and gas are
raised to a high temperature, so that a far more intense
light is afforded with a given quantity of gas, and the
products of combustion are drawn into a chimney instead
of escaping into the air.
George Gould’s hasty trip to London.
Eng., has revived the rumor that he is engaged to Edith
Kingdon, of Daly’s Co. It was no secret, when both were
here, that the son of Jay was demonstratively sentimen
tal in his attentions to Miss K., who, beside being young
and prett/.isa bright actress. Mr Gould mignt look
inrther and fare worse. But all is gossip just at present.
Miss Ellis, of “ The Crowing Hen ”
company, refused to attend rehearsals, and, as it is the
rule of the theatre she was fined five dollars. This she
refused to pay. Colonel McCaull promptlv ordered Miss
Knapp torehease the part and to play it the same night,
which she did. When Miss Ellis presented herself at the
stage door she was lelused admittance.
The champion deadhead has been dis
covered in Ohio. He is a boy, and he inquired at a cirqns
side show where a performance labelled “Bunvan’s pfi
grim’s Progress” was being exhibited, if Mr. Bunyan was
there. Being answered in the negative, he said: “Well,
he smy father. Of course you’ll pass me in free ?” He
was passed, on professional grounds.
The McCaull Opera Company is doing
a rushing business in Washington city at the Summer
opera prices, and nightly crowds are turned away from
the National Theatre, where they are playing. “The

Mr. J. L. Toole, through his recent
attack of gout, was compelled to pos pone the production

A gentleman who frankly confesses
that he is more musician than critic went to see “'lhe

TWO THAT THE LAW HAS TIED TOGETHER
IN MISERY.
This case, which has been before the court for
years, on suits for abandonment, divorce and coun
sel fee and alimony, was again up before Judge Van
Vorst, on application by the woman for support.
Mr. West, representing the woman, said she had
been abandoned for the last thirteen years, and
since last October the husband had not contributed
to her support. Under the Code, she was entitled
to separation and support. The woman was desti
tute and in bad health. Her two children were
earning but little for themselves. The papers
showed that the man was earning S3O a week, and,
on the whole, there were ample grounds to warrant
the court giving her relief. This was the second
time the same motion bad been made.
The previous motion was denied, on the ground
that this action could not be entertained while a
previous action was pending—a suit for divorce for
adultery. Arter the motion had been denied,
application was made to discontinue the suit for
adultery after payment of S2O costs. The court
was now asked to grant the woman relief.
Mr. Townsend, for the man, said there had been
considerable litigation in this case. She commenced
proceedings in October, 1884, charging adultery, and
asking counsel fee and alimony. That motion was
denied. Then there was an action for abandonment
at the Fifty-seventh street court. The abandon
ment proceedings were abandoned, and in Decem
ber, 1885, a suit charging adultery with Caroline
Schmidt, was commenced. This last suit was again
for abandonment. Now she seeks separation and
alimony. After the marriage of these parties they
cohabited fifteen or sixteen years. During their
married life there were distressing details of unhap
piness. They separated by consent. The woman
was unbearable. On one occasion she attempted to
1 poison her husband. At one time he paid her $25
a week; times came hard, and he came down to $6
t a week. Now he was not able to pay any longer;
times had got hard. The whole matter had been
before three Judges at least, who have denied mo
‘ tions similar to this. The man’s salary was but
sl2 a week. No doubt the woman was able to sup
j port herself. He had not any means to pay any
thing toward her support or counsel fee.
Mr. West said that the woman denied that the
1 abandonment was with her consent. He could sup
f port the children of his mistress and the mistress.
; One of the children of the wife could never support
herself; the other did support herself. The man
> was distributing his money among the children o(
his paramour.

I MEN WHO THINK THEY HAVE NO RIGHTS.
’ Two fellows gave the names of Thomas and John
j McGrath, that the Court might mistake them for
brothers, and thus be peaceable-looking brothers
who seldom go on a spree, and get in a muss to
gether with a woman of the town.
: Nellie Brooks said : Passing through Third street,
l she was struck by one of the prisoners, who gave
her a black eye. She gave no reason for the assault.
The other kicked her. She did not know them;
’ never had trouble with them, and could not say
l whether they were drunk or sober.
’ Officer Leeson said he heard the woman scream
at Third and Mercer streets. He ran down and
saw the woman on the sidewalk. The prisoner
► Thomas rushed out of a door and punched her in
[ the face, and attempted to run away. John raised
1 his foot and kicked her. He then rushed in between
them arrested the men.
( John said there was a large crowd, and accident
ally the officer picked him out. They were all
pushing to see what was up.
Thomas said he had known the lady for the last
seven years, and would not harm her.
When convicted, Leeson was asked what he knew
about the accused. He said this man Thomas had
done a year in State Prison. He was arrested for
stealing a bundle off an express wagon, and got six
months. The other’s right name (John) was Glen
i nan. He was once arrested for disorderly conduct.
Officer Dugan arrested him, with a man named
McDermott, for knocking down a man in Great
Jones street and robbing him. John’s «* pal ’’ was
sent to Elmira, but he escaped. Both were old
offenders.
When they were sent to the Island for six months
each, both laughed.
The Club Worse Than Prison.—
Terrence Mallon, alias “Butcher Allen," was fined
$lO for carrying a pistol without a permit. Terry
is a noted burglar and has justjserved ten years, so
i say the police. The officer, before taking Mallon in,
gave him a clubbing that he would rather have ta
ken six months in preference. He said ha was
olubbed on every part of his body, by Officer Ly

HOW $lO WENT IN THE “POT,"' AND. JOHN
LEE WENT IN “HOCK."
Maria Wilson (colored), lives at No. 105 Wooster
street. Her son got in trouble, and she gave John
Lee, the prisoner, $lO to fee a lawyer to get him
out, John went to Sheepshead Bay and, put the $lO
in a “pot" and lost, and when he came back to the
city was himself put in “hock."
Maria said on the 10th of June ahe gave John Lee
$lO. Her eon John, he told her. had been “copped,"
and it was necessary to get a ''-mouthpiece " to get
him out of “quod." She ask.ed how much it would
take to “ square "it with the beak (magistrate, or
his clerk). He said he thought fifteen “cases,"
(sls). She said she couldn’t raise but ten. Well,
he said lawyer Kingsley, a Tombs lawyer, could get
it “ square " for that. He was a reasonable fellow.
He went out and came back and said he had seen
the “ mouthpiece," and he told him he wouldn’t
show his voice to the “Beak ’’ under ten “ cases,"
($10). She gave Mr. Lee a bundle of her best “ tog
gery ” to go to pawn to raise the money to pay the
lawyer to get her son out. Mr. Lee “ popped ’’ her
entire wardrobe and raised only $7. Lee took the
$7 and came back and said that the “ mouthpiece **
said to him $7 was only enough to put the case off
till the next Tuesday. She raised the balance of $3,
gave it to Lee, and he went out, and said he gave it
to the lawyer. He never did. Mr. Leo went to the
races with the ten dollars, betted on some “ boss,"
and got “broke." She knew John Lee from a boy,
his mother was a member of St. Philip’s Church.
A witness was called by Counsellor Mehan to
prove Mr. Lee’s character. It was good.
Counsellor Kinsley said his office was opposite
the Tombs. He never saw the ten or the fifteen
dollar retainer that Lee said he had given him.
Mr. Lee, the defendant, said :
“Coming down the street, he mot Mrs. Wilson’s
son. A ’copper’ had‘collared ’ him, and he told
him (Lee) to tell his mother to give him ten dollars
to give to a lawyer. She ‘popped’ some things,
and when he went to Jefferson Market, the ‘screw ’
(keeper) told him the boy had gone to the Tombs.
It was then too late to use the money. It was fif
teen dollars to defend at the Tombs—five more than
when you get ‘pulled’ (arrested) at Jefferson Mar
ket. “I did not go back and givo the money to
Maria," said Lee; “and going through Bleecker
street, I don’t know whether somebody went
through me or I lost the money, but I lost it."
“tfou told her you had lost the money?" said
Colonel Mehan.
“Yes, sir."
“ She said you told her you spent it at the races,"
said Justice Smith.
“ No, sir," said Mr. Lee. “ I told Mrs. Wilson, my
aunt, I had lost it, and would give the money back
on Saturday.
He promised to make good the $lO, and was sent
to prison for five days.
Three white lawyers figured in this negro case:
Dennis Mehan, who defended; Abe Webb, who paid
Lee’s fine, anc| Kinsley, who didn’t get that
$lO retainer. This is the way things go on at the
Tombs and the other police courts.

HE PAID A LIQUOR BILL RUN UP, ON A BOGUS
CHECK CASHED RY THE BOSS.
John A. Dix, entered the Warren House, on Sixth
avenue, and asked the boss, Chris. Johnson, to
cash a check for S2O. Chris, knew nothing about
the maker of the note, but he knew Dix for over a
year by coming in his place and having a drink,
and when he said it was all right, he cashed the
check. The check was deposited in the bank and
returned next day to him endorsed “N. G." At
the time be cashed the check Dix had a small liquor
bill that he had run up at the bar; that he believed
Dix paid, but it was from the money that he got on
this bogus check. That was all he didn’t lose.
Four years ago, Dix said, he was in the feed busi
ness, and this check was given him in payment of
an old debt. When in Mr. Johnson’s place he had
no money, and supposing the check good, he asked
Mr. Johnson as a favor to cash it. He was willing
to make good the check.
The Court discharged Mr. Dix and told him to
make good the check.

THAT IS HOW LONG A MAN COULD LIVE WITH

Margaret and John Reynolds resided at No. 441
West Seventeenth street. They lived a very un
happy life. She was charged with being drunk and
disorderly, by her husband, and unable to take
care of her, children. They had three. She had
never been arrested before, but he had often cause
to have her taken in charge.
“You are charged," said Justice Smith, address
ing the woman, “by your husband, with being
drunk and making a noise and disturbing the peo
ple in the house where you live. Your husband
says you are continually drunk."
«‘lt is not so," said the womao«

said to get in to go tb-bed. Before he could say an.
other word, he got &■ blow that sent him dancing
out in the street. A crowd then surrounded him
and some-one relieved him of his watch. This was
about'half-past eleven. He had seen the accused
standing-on the corner.
"How have you I’Wd in the house ?" asked
defendant's counsel.

was how the row' came about; They struck each

The second witness floid the yowag man (defend

came along the street, and complainant was at the
door with a can of beer. Therewere fifteen, at
least, of them at the? door, with kettles of beer. ,
among them. Passings the crowdj .there were some
insulting remarks mad& by complainant. Hereford
did not like it, replied, and was struckfirst. In;the
police court, Helscher wanted to settle the case for

dozen persons were drinking beer at the doer,
out of kettles. The complainant wae-ateo drinking

He Fixes His Age.
A WEST TWENTY-EIGHTH STREET CHARACTER.
SPEAKS FOR HIMSELF.
Sam. Bradley is a notorious young West Twenty-,
eighth street thief. West Twenty-eighth is the
worst street in the city half way to Ninth avenue
from Tenth, where it isn’t safe to live. Sam. was
arraigned on the charge ot getting into the cellar of
Felix McGowan, No. 289 Tenth avenue, and: cutting
off his lead pipe connecting his beer with the pumps
The officer found Bradley attempting to
sell the lead pipe. After his conviction, the usual
inquisitorial questions were put to the prisoner.
"Have you any friends here?" asked Justice
Kilbreth.
"Guess not a coon that thinks, a curse of me.
Mother's sick and father’s leg’s broken."
" How old are you ?” asked the Court.
" The old woman says I was come in '69. Figure
her up, I make it seventeen."
Seventeen would save him from being sent to the
House of Refuge. He didn’t look over fourteen, but
there was his declaration and a habeas corpus sued
out, he would get an immediate discharge, and
there was no proof on the record that he was under
sixteen.
•• I didn’t steal that ere pipe," he said.
•• Who did," asked the Court.
" A feller that I don’t know.”
" Did you know it was stolen when he gave it ?"
asked the Court.
"Is this ere a confessional?" asked the young
rascal.
The Court stopped short and sent him to the
Island for six months. They might have made it
twelve, but would it have effected a greater re
formation in little Sam. Bradley ?

SHE MAKES A CURIOUS CHARGE AGAINST THE
OFFICERS.
Carrie Cronin (colored) was charged with keeping
a house of bad repute in the Twentieth Ward.
Officer Evanhoe said she was the proprietress. He
had seen girls pick up men on the street, go in her
room, and Carrie would take what is called the
"gate receipts."
" How do you know she is proprietress ?" asked
the Court.
" There was a man robbed there the other night
in her house, and she was the woman that took the
reception money. She said she did not know any
thing about the robbery, but would try and see the
girl and ‘work’ the money back. She had only two
girls in her place.’’
Officer Strang said he knew it to boa house of bad
repute; he had been there.
Carrie said when the officer made a “’scent" on
her place there was nobody there tu| one girl, and
she went out to work. For herself, she was a vir
tuous, pious woman. She had been seventeen
years in the city, and never knew man or "copper."
She was a hard-working woman.
"That man’’—which. Evanhoe or Strang, the in
dex finger of Carrie did not clearly indicate—" came
in my place. What they said I won’t say, but I
said I wouldn’t do anything of the kind. Then one
said, ‘lf I can’t get that, give me two dollars.’ I
said, ‘No; I want to know what I am paying money
for.’ I couldn’t pay rent for outside and inside."
She as&ed if she bad ever been arrested be*

HOW HE LUCKILY ESCAPED CONVICTION.
When "lovers" don’t get the money they want,
they don’t hesitate to take some portion of the
clothing of the girl and pawn it. Girls are slaves
of the madames, and also of the lovers. When
Joseph Harris, a rough-looking young fellow, was
arraigned to answer the charge of stealing a shawl
from Anne Sonebroch, of No. 19 Bleecker street, a
house of bad repute, she desired to withdraw the
complaint. The Court would not allow her, and
she was sworn by the clerk; but the Court might as
well have dismissed the complaint, as Anne meant
there would not be a conviction.
She stated the shawl was taken from No. 19
Bleecker street. It was stolen from her room, but
she did not miss it till the next morning, and had
not seen it since, until the day before, in the pawn
shop. She went there and identified it.
" Who informed you," asked the Court, “ that he
took it?"
"Louisa Miller," she replied.
"Is she here?"
"No.”
"Discharged," said the Court.
Will This be a Lesson ?—James
Sheridan, aged forty-three, painter, was before
Justice Van Brunt on a writ of habeas corpus. He
was arrested May 24, on the charge of intoxication.
He was laboring then under delirium tremens, and
was transferred from Bellevue five days after to the
Insane Asylum. His friends did not now consider
him insane, they were able to take care of him, if
he didn’t take care of himself. There was no good
reason why the city should support him.
The return to the writ was, “ The man had much
improved."
Judge Van Brunt discharged him.
Sheridan looked as if a month’s further treatment
would have done no harm.
•Toll xi Mistake*
A LESSON THAT YOUNG GENTLEMEN MAY

teen years of age, of immoral character, is a lesson

there, the crime is all the same—seduction. Men
who Invite to their rooms/may thirvk themselves
safe; they are not if the verdict in Stott’s case sus
tained by the General Term.
THE FACTS AND THE LAW.
An appication for a stay of proceedings was made
to Judge Van Brunt on objection taken to the
charge of Recorder Smythe to tbs
Ho We said he would not read the evidence, which
was revolting,- but state the case. The character of
the complainant, this minor,|and her companion,
Kato Campbell, was that of unchaste, miserable
girls. The circumstances were these: A little shrewd
prostitute, deluded' her mother by saying she wae
out every day to work, white in fact she was at low
dance houses, and 1 took home to her mother the
money sho was earning cn- the street 5 ,, saying it
was honestly earned; One evening the defendant
found her crying on the street, and her pitiable
condition attracted Stott’s attention. Hr stopped
and asked her the cause of her trouble. She said
she had lost her week’s wagesn He said, " Don’t
cry." She said,Mother 1 will beat me." Ub asked
h*r to come to his -house and he would make good
her loss. She went there voluntarily with him l , and
after a while he put's6 on the table. She wouldn't
take it, it didn't swm enough for her; then her told
her she could go. Then she grabbed the money
and left.
That was the story, and she was not corroborated.
Ho Made an appointment before she left, to call
agate at bis house. She kept it, going there with
another girl of like character tb heroelf, and what
occurred, the testimony showed. It was claimed
that »he had been corrupted by the acousod, but on
cross-examination she was flatly contradicted. Both
girls, though young, had already bees corrupted,
and: one confessed to that happening to Mr. Stott,,
that was next to a physloahimpossibility.
On the trial, Officer Young, of the Soeiety for the
Proteetioa of Children, testified to leaving a sum*
monsand bringing the case before the Police Jue
tioe. He testified to the answers the defendant
mad» before the Police Justice. That counsel held
to-be illegal. Whatever heflaid before the Police-
Jusiiee should be reduced to writing. That' waa an
objection counsel had raisad at the trial,, which was
overruled. Then there wsa< the Zurther objection’
that there was no evidence of; his-taking.the girii
there; on the contrary, sho went there
The Recorder, counsel said, got a little mixed up.
" What was the age of the girl?" asked Judge Van
Brant.
"Under-sixteen; but she wss agiri of the-town*.**
"That was immaterial, if he took, her to his
bouse," remarked the Justice*.
"But the girl wont, there-with, her oompanie®.
The Recorder held that it was immaterial whether
he took bar there or she weat there aven knowing
the purpose for which she went;"
Judge*Van Brunt took the- papers*.reserving his
decision-. Of course the stay will be granted to en
able a. review to be taken nt the General Term.

A NEGRO WENCH’S STORY, WHICH WASN’T
BELIEVED.
Minnie Jefferson (colored), of No. 232 Wooster
street, was charged with acting disorderly in the
street, running after a man and firing stones at
him. So far as the stone throwing was concerned,
she said the charge was true. Going home, there
were a lot of loafers at “de corner.” Pate Doye, a
white fellow that wanted to ba her lover, always an
noyed her. She didn’t believe in " malgamation,’*
and would have nuffing to say to him. Passing de
corner he snatched a bundle from her, and ran. She
could’nt catch de loafer, and picked up a brick an
frew it arter him.
Officer Nugent said the woman was a regular
street solicitor. If a man didn’t consent to go with
her she would pull him with her. If he broke away
and ran, as he had to do, and there was a cobble
stone near, it would fly after him.
"Ten dollars," said Justice Smith.
“That’s putty steep on de nigga/’ said Minnie as
she went back.

A THREE MONTHS TOUR ON THE ISLAND.
When Michael Walsh was arraigned to plead to
the charge of failing to support his wife and
two children, he pleaded guilty, and threw
himself on the mercy of the court. He
went back to Ireland leaving the family
unprovided, remained a year on his pleasure
ure tour, while the city was left to provide for wife
and children. On Mike’s return from abroad, he
still failed to support his family and was arrested.
The deserted wife, a worn-out, starved-looking
creature, couldn’t say if her husband had ever been
arrested before this. She had been deserted and
left without support by her husband.
Mike was given a three months tour on the Island.
A Difference of Opinion. —John Dil
lon, on the 24th of May, was found guilty of failing
to support his children and paroled. Failing to
comply with the order of the court he was re
arrested and arraigned for sentence. Mr. Jenkins
said the man was around the streets drinking as
before; there was no reason why he should not be
sentenced. He was a waiter, and could get plenty
of work.
Counsel said he met the man several times in the
street sober, looking for work.
Three days ago, Mr. Jenkins said the wife was in
his office, and said he was drunk.
Counsel said the man was not as bad as he seemed
to be.
He was remanded.

A SEQUEL TO THE AM ENDE POISONING CASE,
A sad sequel to the Am Ende case, that resulted
so tragically a year ago in the death of Marguerite
and Ella Holz, by morphine poisoning, was reported
in Hoboken yesterday. It has been rumored for
several days in that town that Dr. August E. Loew
enthall, the young physician to whom Marguerite
was engaged, had become insane. Immediately*
after the death of his fiancee the young physician
was prostrated, and for many months his health ba»
steadily declined. In grief and remorse h& has stu
diously shunned society and has been the object of
solicitous care and much anxiety among his friends.
Beside tho medical attendance of his father, Who*
is also a physician, tho young man has bad medical
treatment frox» noted practitioners in this City.
The young physician's case is said to have been'
much aggravated ®f late by chemist Am 1 Ende’s al
leged assertion thafc the lault was not? so 1 much in
bis fatal rsistake o? compounding raorphine for
quinine as it was from- the careless an<? indifferent
form of prescription. A’bout three months ago there
appeared an article in tlSe Pharmaceutical Gazette,
reviewing the evidence taken on the Am Ende*
trial. The writer claimed that the evidence pro-'
duced 14 the triaS conclusively proved that the elder
lady die® not die from morphine poisoning, but
from atrapia, the antidote administered to her by
,the corps*s>f physicians. Simultaneously with’the
' appearance of the article Am Ende was seriously'
contemplsXflng a demand for a new trial and having
tie case reopened in bis own vindication.
Although sfee chemist had done nothing publicly
for his own vindication, it was well known in the’
town what he was thinking about, an& the magui.-
fled reports Shat spread through tho town soon
reached Dr. LcewenthaH, and have had a very de
pressing effect upon his spirits. In facL it is stated
by seme persone- that it precipitated D# ; Loewen
thall’6*-present condition.
In order to verify the reports, a reporter called
upon Dr. Ernest &Loewen>teall, the father-of tho
afflicted* young man, yesterday mornings When
asked if the report of his son’s insanity was true,
the doctor courteously but firmly declined either
to affirm) or deny tiie- question. Yesterday- after
noon the family left; town for the country, and it is
alleged that the young man will be quietly resnoved
to a private asylum.-

The Excise Muddle. —By a stipula
tion in court yesterday the Excise muddle has been
settled. The old Board turns over the books to tba
new and the old Board will appeal to the General
Term, from thence to the Court of Appeals. Those
who have paid for a license to either Board need not
feel uneasy, as the courts have to decide which is
the legal Board. Let the Court of Appeals decida
either way, the licenses held must hold good. If
they didn't, the old Commissiouers might be held
for taking money under false pretenses; but, as
matters stand, the licenses obtained from either
Board hold good.
