ZLater in the avenil Mr. Grau_came to this office in order to learu whether his communica- tion wes reccived. aud, after lesrning that 1t had been, naturally fcll info a conversation with one | of the editors regardivg the controve:sy to which it relatel. While Mr. Grau was engaged | fp stsung lis_gTievances, a reporter, who sat . year bum, was busied’ n jotuing down, without 3r. Grsw's knowlydge, the remorks which be | made. Tlheconversution was about a3 follows : Cits Editor—I rea fram your ie.tes, Grau, that yon have begun a STIT »GAINST MR. M'VICKER ? Cran—Tes, I Lave. I Legan st to-day in the ! Oiited Siates Court. C:ty Eciior—How much sre you goicg for? Gin:—Four thousand dollars. C1.y Editor—Why, that is more than you claim McVicker retained 7 Grau—Yes, but my lewyers say we must make _¥ alittle larger to—it looks more respectablo, they say. City Editor—ho have you employed, Gran? Griu—Hunter & Page. ‘fity Editor—Fhst is all yon have done abont - . Grau—TYes. Theyeaid I conld have himar- rexted, but I didu't want to.

Criy Editor—I suppose McVicker's idea was to uso this a8 : A SORT OF SET-OFF to whatever claim he had agaiust you on account of the Aimeo troupe ? Gran—No, he has not. Ihave consulted with the law, throogh my stiorneys, and they say the Iaw says that & private wdividual is not respon- _sible for a prtnership debt, and that s partner- thip is not responsitle for 20 individual debt. City Editor—Did your attorueys advise you to arrest Mac? i Grau—They told me I could, but I didn’t want ia botber uim, They sa.d of courso he could gt well; if it will not do any more than’ that, don’t want to do anything of the kind.” City Laitor—McVicker bas had some PRETTY ROUGH EXPERIENCES with foreign companies. Gran—And -1 have hsd pretty rough ex- periences with mauagers. City Lditor.—Well, it wes & regular coup d'etal on McVicker's part, wasp't it ? Grau—1ly opiuion is that it was pretty un- lswful. 1 conld nave insisted on baving the *bole monoy every night, sud X would have done | 60if Ihad thought anvthing of ibis kind was Roiug to come off. The law makes him the eastodian of my woney, aud he Lias no business stallto put it1n bis own pocaet, aud say that ha will not Land 1t over to me, on account of some pretended ret-off. City Editor—What is your contract about this Balvint business, Grau—Well, it runs about 28 follows MEMORANDUM OF AN AGREEMEN' made by aud pe:ween J. H.

Dou't wait for the trial, but tell me sow. Grau—\lcVicker sent me & contract about the Aimee tfoupe between him sod me, snd Tze- med it, making it out between Lim and me, Tepresenting o third porty. I was msnager of the troupe during the first season,—that 18, in 1872, The year after that I had Reubinstein, 204, not being sble to' manage Aimeo, I ended Y conection with her troupe eutirely. Alr. Chizzch wanted to carry it op, but he found be | ¢ould not, and bie asked me to Lelp him out, and did 5o fast year. To do that I Joaned him some money. “There was no money made last yer, and be came fo .me again -mud ¥auted some more' thus yesr. Then I made #armangement something hike this: That if 205 mongy was made, I was to get back what I ed him, and & certain_amount of what be @ade.

FASHIONABLE WEDDING. ‘A Ceremony After the Orthodox Jewish Fashion.

After tLis, the Rabbi read the maniage certificate, calied in Hebrew the Kedubah. Another glass of wine, whuch this time was called the cup of sorrow, was then procured, and, efter saying the : msual Hebrow biessing, part of the wine was | again drauk by tho Rabbi, tho bride, aud the | bridegroom. A ** Massel Toy " (congratulution) iy the Rabbi, concluded the ceremonies. ‘Fhen ibe whole crowd present cried Massel Tov,” and everybody fell updn everybody’s eck, . and all kissed each other, the ladies receiving the lurgest share. Everybody was kissed aud kissed somebody else, except THE TRIBUNE re- porier, who was entirely neglectied Ly the fair and dark-eyed ladies preseut, and he was oo . tumid to begin the lussiag himself. Wien all got tired huggiog aud kissing each i other, the young lalies and geutlemen marcied up stars to the ball-room and eujoyed dancing, while the oid couples marched to the dimng-room and enjoyed themselves over Hungurisn wine, Champagoe, geeen keruen soup, fish, roast . goose, duck, aud other delicacies of the peason. ‘Among the young ladies who excolled in beauty and in dress were the follow- wg: Tho bride, Miss Sarah Louise, who Wore a magniticent peachcolored gros-grain | gilk dress trimwed with Oruuge-blossoms, Her huir was dome up 1w puffs and | braids, snd the bridal vel was fostezed with .a Dbesutifu! wreasth of _orange-blossoms.

Mr. S, A. Briggs on the Stand. He Reveals How the Franklin Bank Was Bun ¢ The Truly Interesting Way in Which Stock Was Transferred. How He Did Busincss as a Trustee. Fraudulent Entries Discovered on the Books. Transfcrs of Real Estate Afier the Bank Closed. The following is an abetract of & portion of the teetimony of S. A. Driggs, the managing man of the Franklin Bauk. The evidence i8 very voluminous, covering nearly 1,000 pages of legal cap, snd much of it is evasive, but Mr. Briggs threw much light on many of the crooked dealings of the bank, and bias ma- terially sided in the discovery of appacently frandulent sales and assignments. It s thought now that, if a portion of these - fraudulent eales can bo set aside, the bank may pay 40 per cent of its lisbilities. It reveals = most incred- ible state of facts, and it is dificult to believe that such a family party could exist 50 long and not be discovered. There is s slight con- pection shown olsu with the National Lifo Tosurance Compavy, & similarly managed institution, with nearly the same offi- cers, at least at one time, as the Yranklin, and it is surmised that tbo connection was much closer than is uow kvown. Only a few days ago, it will bo remembered, a-complaint was filed on which to have the Attorney-Goueral commonce proceedings for winding up’ this insurance com- Eany. THE STOCK. TIn reference to the stock, which amounted to £100,000, Briggs stated that he held 550 sbares of stock as ‘Lrostee of the Franklin Baok. There was no evidenca that it was leld in trast ; it waes translerred from Benjamin Lom- bard to him. Ouly foriy-four shares were held by outsido parties, Mr. Eddy, the Cashier, having the'remaining ono. _Some stock yas taxen by the bank from the National Life Company, Lecsu:e Ar. Lombacd agreed to tako at. Witness kept the stock in the vanits of the bank, and never laued it, nor lent ivas socurity. No divideuds wera declared on 1t, becauso it was lield by the bauk. Oaly one dividend wag de- clured on tho stock after this was bought by the bank. When queshioned as to the amount of stock of the ltenl Estate, Losn aud Trust Company, owned Ly Benjumin Lombard whon the book was closed proparatory to turn- ing the Comp,any into the Frauklin Bank, Brigzs got foggy. and said the stock-cestiticate bouk ‘as ot the place to find the location of stock, nor waa the record book. 1lo finally stated that Donjamwn Lombard held 200 shares when ibe book closed, which he transterred to tho National Life. He then bonght thirty shares from Josiah L. Lombard, which amouat ho held a1 the time the bauk susjended. Witness hero made more calculations, and announced that Lombard onty held 100 shaes when tho Loan Company changed into the Franklin Bank; that the remaining 100 had been transferred to him as Trustes, and finally apuounced that Lombard @d not own 200 shares at the above time. DENJAMIN LOMBARD. Briges thought Denjamin Lombard received first ©44,000 woith of stock of the Franklin Bank—no, $3,000 stock of the bmnk, Jan.1l, 1878, transferred from Josiah L. He subse- quently, on Feb. 8, trausferrcd 100 sharcs to the Mational Life Insurance Company. April 5, he traneferred another 100 shares to the ssme Com- pany, both representing certificates of the Real Estafe Loan and ‘Frust Company. These rep- resent A _ previous .trgnsfer made o 1872, the certificatos for which were not de- manded until after the chango. The Netional Life Company bolds now $20,000 of stock, or thoreabouts. It also beld at onoe time 130 shares more, 100 of which were transfeited to witness as Trustes. For part of it nocertiticate was issued. IRREGULARITIES. Driggs testified tiat in many cases stock Was issued to parties or transferred by them withont the least nite of it on the books. It seemed asthough the certificates were 1ssued when the bank was disposcd to give them. In tracing the stock of the Life Iusur- ance Company down tho witness“was asied to turn to the mioute on the stub of the where- abonts of the stock issued on certuficate 51, and the tollowing conversation took plac: A.—Meanwhile to keep the record clear— Q.—¥es, go on and state all you know about thus certificate before going any further. A~ want to go Lock to one year past. Qi—We will cowe to that in trausfer from the Na- tioual Life. 'A.—All right—what is the point, &ir? Q—Cornnate 48, . o, Sif. Twd hundred shares. Q. Al—Benjamin Lombard. Q.—Turn to certificate 51, 200 shares Q. A.—Subdi Q.—Subdiyision of 432 Q. A.—It says 80. Q'—How could it be cre is another one the same way, A1 thi division is a dividing up, is 1t not? A 3 Qi—Explain thut, please—what relation ons has got to 1he other—what that subdivision ” nieaus. (No anawer.) Q.~Go on, Mr, Briggs. A—T am trying to state {he thing 80 you won't have 1o usk e 00 by questions. - FALSIFIED RECORDS. Witness then stated that the word enbdivision did not mean subdivision at all, but sutstitution. Huving 'hatched this felicitous explanation he went on swimmingly for s time. He was:he Freasurer of the Netional Life wheu the stock swos 1ssucd, and receipted forit. It was not out of the possession of the bank more than ten minu:es, and then turned over to Lombard ; 48 was surrendered and canccled when 51 was insued. Q.—The record shows that the date of the surrender of 49 was July 31, 1871, Now, wkat does that mean, if this was subdivition ? AT didu’t make it, sir; that's not my handwriting. Idian’t uake it. Q.—Whoze bzndwriling Is that ? A1t looks to me like Mr, Eddy's. Perhaps hecan explain it. Witnees insisted that the two certificates wero not issucd the same day.as securty to be put ng by tho National Life Insurunce Company, au reiterated bis former statewment. Q—Then the record must state what is false. - " Well, sir, 1 am not responsible for the entry. Q—Dovs tho racord state what is falie? I repest the question. 2 oThe record eays against the date of the gurren- uly 3, 1671, s 1 shouid read it. If don’t muke Qifference whether it wos July 3 or 31, 3. —Anything more in reference to that? . No, I think thath fail. nd it states whut is untrue? " That record states what I know is not so. Mr. Briggs explamed that ceraficate 50, dated July 31, was wedged in between certificates 48 and 51, dated June 26, by etating that ** some- body. in turning over those pages, tarhed one that bad no business to kave becu.” Certificate 51 was a svbstitute of 43, 51 of 54, 53 of 52, and, fioails, 50 of 53. He understood that this | stock was nscd as collateral in_conuection with Mr. Lombard's' pame_in some shape Lo get £90,000.

Briggs was finally cornered into a promige to exiubit theso canceled certiticates, if bLe conid find them. And on the day following Le re- appeared without them. THE TRCTH COMING OCT. ; Afteralittle further prodding, Mr. Briggs ghowed that, whereas the capital of the bink was 76,000, £56.000 of that eum. was held by the bank, and £20,600 by what Mr. Hunter termed “this irresponsible insurance company, the National Life,” When, too, Ms. Hunter ironi- cally suggested that this was a rich sbowing for an ioktitution professing to do 8 banking busi- Dess, Mr. Briggs said “* Well 77 At tho time the baok closed Mir.

Immediately after tho bank closed, Mr. Briggs canceled about $23,000 in pager, substitaung for it real estate, loaving 28,500 in paper. Besides this $30,000, Mr. Brizgs owed £10,000 in United States bouds snd £12,000 in cash, making §47,000 due the bank. After the interchange of more pleasantrics, Mr. Hunter proceeded : Q.—Ir. Briggs, I want you to examine theso figures opyaite. tho it on_ ihe 17th page, Tepresctiing £17,000, $14,620.00, $475.01, and state why thoss figures were changed.

Mr. Huoter thought it mizht have been a pre- eantionary mearue on his part, and, learning that it was not, exclaimed Then it is the stranpest trancaction I ever eaw in my life,—in the whote conrse of my pratice.” There is more of Mr. Brigge’ testimony to which Mr. Hunter's exclamation would apply with equal appropriatencss. . THE COURTS. The F. B. Gardner Company in Troublo. Jrdge Ioore Will Take Decided Action in Goodrich’s Divorce Case. Some 3lore Candy-Prize Men In- dicted. DILL AGATNST P. B. GARDNER, *Enoa Ayers filcd s bill yesterday in the Cir- cuit Court against F. B. Gardner, to restrain him from selling the property of the Gardoer Compaay, a corporation organized under the laws of Wisconsin for the manufacture and sale of lumber. It has o capital of £500,000, and possesses a yard in Chicago for its retail busi- ness containing about 4,500,000 feot of ! lumber. F. B. Gardoer, tho President of the Companv, has a geooral manage- | ment of its aiairs, but i3 not suthorized to do anything out of the ordinary cousse of | business. The Ccmpany owes o larjze debt, but | is said to be solvent. Ab.ut the 20.h of this | month an election of officers will b held m | Pensaukee, Wis. Ayers complaius that F. B. Gardner, contrary to lus duty aad outside of his | fower, 18 nnempmx%to pegotjate acalo of all ho lumber of the Company in one lot. Com- plainaut states that the stockholders donot wish Such & proceeding ; that it is necessary to their existence,—this being $he principal merit for the eale -of their Jumber,—that on offico should be kept opea all the time, and were such a gale allowed, it would be & virtual extinguisnment of the Coupany, at least until tae opening of navi- gation an May. Ho therefore asks that Gardner be restrained from seliing or disposiag of the stock of lumber belonging to said Company, or fgpm incumberipg its real estate or peitoual propeity. _An injunction was necordingly issued by Judge Farwell nuder a bond in tue sum of $10,0000 THE KLINE CASE. In yesterday's IRisUNE a detailed statement was given of a disgraceful transsction by which a party named Joseph Kline, with the assistanco of A. Goodrich, a divores Iawyer, have procurcd a fraudulent divorce, or rather had one procared ostensibly by hus wife, and sagainst Lim. Yes- terday the motion was 1nade beforo Judge Moore, to set nside the decree and redocket the case, which waa %r;mled. The Judge also remerked that he woul make an order which wouid appear of record, | tbat Mr, Foley, complainant’s attarnes, would Iny the matter Letore the Court, g0 thut be counld haveit investigated. Itis probable, theretore, that & rule tosuow cause will be i sued against Goodrich and the other attoiney Lincoln, J. G. Chalfant, for them to show before the Supreme Court why their names shouid nos be stricken from the roll of attorneys. Judge loore aleo stated that he would render all 2id in bis power to undo such ‘& nefarious ecaemo. Goodtich, though served with a‘copy of the mo- tion, was mot present, sud no objection was offered to the motion. i Tt is to be bopsd that this outrageous practice of *lightning " and “zo publicity " divorees is at an end. ‘Lhe coarts bave all sbown a willing- ness to stop such practices, but where a caxe opeus regular, it would be impossible to examme the circumstances attendiog each compluint. The trouble is with our laws. THE **PCTS” CASE.

Tho military annals of most Europesn comn- trios, says the London Echo, Tecord o few in- stances of women who, having succeded in en- tering the ranks of the army, Lave bighly dis- tinguished themselves in tae_apparently incon- gruous profession of arms. Such a fucs has, ac- cording to tho Opinione, been_Litherto unprece- dented in the Ifalian army. It was dizcovere: bowever, the other day, that = young eoldier named Marcotti, who was to reccive his dis- chargs on the 1st of next month, having enlist- ed in 1866, is ope of these heroines. Julia Mar- cotti, the Amazon in question, Lelonged to o numercus and poor {amily, living at San Ambro- zio, near Turin, and worked in the mines of Upper Piedmont, to which latter circumstance her extraordinary physical stieogth mag, prob- ' heattributed. Sho enlisted m 1866, at the \ume wioa Italy was about to engsge in the gle with Austria, ber motive being to save rother, who was married and had six chil- drcn, from being obliged to eerve. Not only did Julis perform a soldier's duties o8 well 23 her comrades, but sho foaght in the first rank at the battle of Custozzs, and obtained the medal of military valor. On Learing of tho case, King ‘Victor Emmanuel sent for the woman, bestowed upon her tho Cross of the Order of the Ciown, and desired I shio should be seat home witha peusion of 300 Li PR A Doctor’s Mania. The Hamilton (N. Y.) Democralic Republican relates the foliowing: ““The last freak we have heard of, shich seems to approach a mania, is that of 4 doctor, who is eaid to reside in Preble, Cortiand County. = His weakness is for pulling tectti. He 1s said to bo well read and sxillful;ze 3 physician, and cxbibits no peculiasities in any other direction but this. A. short time since & young lady called at Lis office to have a tooth exiracted, when o persuaded ber to drink eome brandy, or other liquor, 1o esse the pain of tho operation, then weut deliberately at work, and drew seven teeth, all but one of which were per- fectly sound. _Another instance is given where be had been called at & house in o profesrional capacity, when o littlo girl £ or 5 ycars of aze rau up to nim in a frank and feariows way pecu- liar to children of that age, aud asked hLim to pullone of Ler teoth.
