THE PURSUIT. Speciat Disvatch to The Tribune. Osama, Neb., Oct. 5.—The Cnevennes by crossing the South and North Platte Rivers yes- terday soon passed into a section of the country, with every foot of which they are familiar, and they hurriedly oroceeded to the northward. They passed by Ogallallaand the cattle ranches in the vicinity witbout committing any depreda- tions. Maj. Thornburg’s command, it seems, was very elow in getting under way at Sidoey, notwithstanding & special train, with steam up 2ll the time, had been standing xeady for about two wecks at that place to convey them at a minute’s notice to any point they might be necded. The troops did not leave Siduey until nearly 3 o'clock, motwith- stanging the fact that the Cheyennes had crossed the South Platte at 10 o'clock was known in Sidney at about mnoon, or a3 little £oouer. Shortly before 5 o’clock the soldiers reached Ogalialg, but the Indians by this time hud ot a start of AT LEASTTWENTT MILES. Maj. Thornburg at once left Ogailata with 135 men in pursuit of them, intending to camp on tle North Piatte River during last night, and endeavor to catch and fight the Indians to-day. Col. Carlton, of the Third Caralry, left Camp Robiuson last night at 9 o’clock with five com- ‘panies, intending, if possibie, to intercept the Indians on’the Sianey and Bhck Hillsroad. It is thought the Indiaus’ intend to pass through the northern part of Nebraskn. In case they do, they may strike what is known as THE NIOBEARA RIVER REGION, which has Jately been ocenpicd by cattle-men who have taken up estensive rauches in tnat Jocality, and have large cattle herds there. Among those who have cattle in the Niobrara country ace John A. Creighton, James Creirh- ton, Herman Kountze, W. A. Parton, Mr. Sharp, Dr. Tower & Co., Stebbins, Carrier & Co., Coe & Carter of this_city, and others re- siding in different parts of the State. 4 Last evening John A. Creighton and Herman Kountze telecraphed to North Platto to have messensers sent immedfately from :that* point to the Niobrara |cattle-ranges to notily all the men, and that messengers +would be hand- somely paid for their services. Mr. Paxton also teleeraphed o similar messaze to Ogallala. This morning Mr. Kountze received o telegram from Maj. J. C. Walker, ot North Platte, stat-" ing that he had Jast'night + SENT TWO RELIADLE COURIERS on ficet horses to the Niobrara ranges, and that . they would make quick time, being directed to change horses as often as possible. 3r. Kountze states that Niobrara cattle-men will thus be warned in time to prepare lor a de- iense if neeessary. - About fifty men can be mustered in three or four hours. They are all well-armed with repeating rifles, and have 3,000 or 4,000 rounds of awmunition, and no doubt canstand a siege of several days. ‘The cattle- Tanges are from 150 to 200 miles north of the North Platte. Mr. Kountze, however. thinis that the Indians .will pass to the west of the Tanges. Licut. Davis, with 150 men, who arrived at Ogallala from Julesburg st 7 p.m., left Ogallala s0on aftcrward. E 3 TO JOIN THORNBURG DURING THE NIGHT. _ At daylight this morning Maj. Thornburz pulled out from camp on the North Platte River, and 3 diepateh received here this after- oon states that he was ouly nine miles behind the Indians, Nothing bas since been heard {rom him. Capt. Mauck, with 150 men, who followed the Indians up from the south, camped near Ozal- lala last night, and at 9 o'clock this morning €tarted out to overtake and join Thornburz. * There was. CONSIDERABLE EXCITEMENT, at Big Spriugs Station, on the Unidn Pacific, ‘ningteen miles west of Ogallals, this afternoon, caused by a party either of soldiers or ludians seen crossing the South Platte River, two miles east of that place. The party numbered about geventy-five mounted mon. It is not vet known whether they were Indians. Gen. Crook, who isat FortSteele on business, is expected to return and take the field: Col.

Reports continue to come in from Beaver and Sappa Creeks of depredations of Indians, they neither sparing women nor children, but, atter outryyring the women and youn girls, bratally mutilating their bodles. DEATH AND DESTRUCTION. 87. Louts, Oct. 5.—A special to the Globe- Democrat from Topeka, Kau., gives a summary of the outrages committed by the Ingians who went North a day or two ugo. After crossing the Kensas Pacifie, they started north- west to Decatur County, acd raided the settlements there. Their main depredations were on Sappa Creek. Every residence for tweive miles was pMindered and almost every- thing destroyed. Al the cattle were stampeded, and what of the crops was left by the Indians 1has beeu eaten up or destroyed by the stock. The vumber of people killed is not yet known, but the following bodies have been found and brousht to Oberlin ana buried:” H. . Humphrey, James G. Laning, William Lan- ing, Thomas Miskelly, Mr. Tule, Marcellus Fell, M. K. Abernathy, Mr. Irwin. 3 Two other members of the Laning family have been killed und their mother brutally out- raged by several Indians. Jobn Marshall and 4 man named Stedman are badly wounded, and Fred Walters sud Mr. ‘Wright are missing. The house of H. D. Colum was surrounded by Indiaps, but he aua his wife, with a shot-gun and revolver, defended their house “till they drove the Indians away, Killing or wouuding several of them. Otber cases similar to this have occurred. Nearly all the settlers aloug Sappa Creck have taken refuge i Oberlin, aud arc bing cared Tor. ‘They have literally been stripped ol everythivg they possessed.

TaNETON, Dak., Oct. 5.—A letter from Spotted Tail’s camp, dated Sept.” 30, savs 150 lodges of the Spotted Tail Indians have cut Joose and started north. The secession was caused by 1 row between Spotted Tail and Yellow Hair. Some of the Indisos still have Sitting Bull on the brain, and mauy of them have broken loose in small squads and goue north within the last few weeks. The last squad to leave was headed by Wooden Kuife, Red Eagle, and Forked Meat, an especial favorite of the military, an enlisted soldier. Bad Wild Horse bas also deserted the Spotted Tail camp and gone north. Al these desertions have occurred from the new camp on the Roecbud, the place selected by Spoited Tuil’s ludians as. their permenent home. LOST THE TRAIL. from Col.

Suit has been commenced in the United States Circuit Court, by Long Ah Kit, Gou Lin, Choug Long Ling and Faag Wit, awainst Shenil Nunan, to recover $10,000 damaes allezed to have been sustained by them in the loss of their quenes, which were cut off while they were fn- carcerated in the County Jail. The papers are being prepared in the contemplated suits of fifteen other Monzols who are abuut to bring actions against Mr. Nunan also. Mo Ab Kow, Ah Kong, Lee Ah Quong, and Jo Ab Jim have actions pending in the same court against the Sheriff for the loss of their sacred capillary ap- pendages, comwenced some TWO onths ago. In the case of Ho Ah Kow, M. C. Hassett, counsel for Mr. Nunan, filed a demurrer to the complaint, in which the ground was taken that “the- Sheriff had the aothority Dy virtue of his office as jail-kecper, and as a sanitary measure, to cut the bair of all prisoners, whatever their color, to a reasonable lenath, irrespective of any autharity gziven bitn by any ordinauce. Judge Sawyer overruled the demurrer, and said that the position of jail-keeper @iy not sive the Sheriff the authority to act in the premises. ‘Thie defendant then filed an answer to the com- plaint setting up that hie bad his authority through and under the Queue ordinance, To this the plaintifls demufred on the ground that it did not constitute a defense. The arzuments on this demurrer will be beard on the first Monday in October. The filing of these suits against Sheriff Nunan puts kim to considerable expense, 35 o every suit that Is filed in the United States Courts a fee of 310 is required, which must be paid_before any papers are drawn. Up to yesterday the queuesof all Chi- nese prisoners, except such as are jucarcerated Tor violating the purc-air law, have been cat oft. This distinction is made’ because it is on this particular misdemeanor that the Chinese who bave the suits pending were arrested, and 1he cutting was left in abeyance until a decision was arrived at. The knowledee of this fact is one of the reasons that the cubic-air violators prefer to Zo'to jail, where they know tbeir preciots queues are safé, rather than vay a fine. To stop all gueue-cutting within the jail, an junction was granted by Judze' Waceler ye: terday, cojoiniug the Sheriff from the continu- auce of this, in_ Mongolian eyes, profanation. Next Friday bas been set to bear the argutnents on the injunction. # N Russian Great Families. .

THERE’S MILLIONS IN IT Great Jumel Will . Contest Up Again in a New Form. The Citizens of France Anxious {o Make a Splurge on Money Now Held by an American. Details of a Domestic Story Which Has the Taint of the Bar;Sinister Bunning All Through It. - Special Dispatch to The Tritame. NEW Yorg, Oct. 5.—Early in the present year certain citizens of Frauce filed their claim to property in this country valued at many mill- ious of dollars. ‘Lo-dayan answer was filed in the Ubnited States Cireuit Court for the South- ern District of New York to that part of those now in posscssion of tui estate. In order to understand the importance of this movewent, which was done quietly aud with the knowledge of very few _persou necessary fpr me to give the outlines of au American drama which has been before the pub- lic thhese many vears. ) In 1702 Stephen Jumel was born in the south of France. Tweuty-ong years later be emi- grated 10 the Islwd of San Domingo, where he rapidly amassed a fortune in mercuntile pur- suits ana in planting. But his progress was checked by the uprisiog of the blacks under the famous negro Touissant-L’Ouverture, wnom a French force under Admiral Villaret-Joyeuse tried subsequently to surprise, but failed. Some of Jumel's property was scized or de- stroyed, und the remainder, us well as his per- sonal safety, being in jeoparay, he burriedly converted the remnauts ofy his proverty futo money and fled to America for safety, At the time of his arrival in this country Juhn and Phabe Bowen were living in Providence, R. L. They had three children, two daugh- ters and a son, and, as they were very poor then and lefv to carc for themselves as best they wmight, the result can casily be imagined. Betsy aud Polly Bowen were AMONG THE WORST GIRLS IN RHODE ISLAND, -and the record shows that once, at least, if not oftener, they were contined in the Wark-Uouse, in company with uegroes, criminals, and paupers. The son, it was Jong supposed, died while yet a young'man. Stephen Jumel, in due course of time, met Betsy, whose proper namne was Elizabeth, and she became his mistress. They then came to this city, where the Frenci- man opened a wive sud liquor house, aud, find- ing his companion so active aud useful a iiouse- keeper that she was indispensuble, he made her hig lawful wife, although he Knew her at that time only by the false name of Elizabeth Brown. On this stroke of luck the newly-made wife sent post-haste for her sister Polly, who, on her arrival in New York, put on the garb of re- spectability by ehiauging from a woman of the town of the lowest type to a fine lady, and mor- ried 2 man named William Jones. - The Jougses hsd four chilaren, but the Jumels had noue. As a sort of recompense, Mme. Jumel, with the consent of her husband, adopted a chikl who, she said, was the illegitimate daughter of her sister Polly. The child was known altersards as Mary Bownes, but to whose name was added «Jumel,” and she called Mme. Jumel aunt. Years ater this claimants to the property ju- sisted that this girl was no relative whatever of the Bowens, but was simply a little waif named Wiguins, who was picked up by Eliza Jumel, and for the latter’sown purposes represented to Stephen as ber fllegitimate niece. But who- ever she ¥as, Mary Bownes certainly became A MEMLER OF THE JUMEL FAMILY. She accompariied the Juwels Lo .Europe, lived with them in Paris in splendid style, and was auly educated in one of the leading schools of the Freneh Capital. i In 1810, or thereabouts, they returned to America, when Stepben Jumet piifchased the Mansion Ilouse, standing on the bizh sround ncar One Hundred and Fifty-sisth street andthe old King's-Bridze road, together with some thirty-five acres of lana adjolning (subsequently inereased by Mme. Jumel to_nivety-five acres), three valuable parcels of land on Broadws and Liberty strects in this city, and other ‘re: estate here and elsewhere in the State. By the way, tius Mansion House is still stavding, if I mistake not; atleast it was the last time I drove out to High Bridge. It isa veritable type of one of the old-tine substantial residences which were built just betore the Kevolution by wealthy conutry famili Defore Jumel bouzht it the maonsion had beeu the scene of many a courtly festive mathering. Gen. Georze Wash- ington has often been iu the house a favorite guest, and it was here that, in the retreat of the American army aiter the disus- trous battle ol Long d, several oflicers of the Continental army were enterfained, and, in consequence of the detention, were nearly cap- tured by their pursuers. Like most Frenciinen, Jumel was always much attached to bis native laud, and it was 1 kuown whether or uot he was a natural- As by the ized citizen of the United States. laws of uns State then in foret forcigners could purchase and hold lamis for themselves and toeir heirs in the same manner s citizens, it made hitle difference whether he was or not. Soon after making the purchases above men- tioned he again retarned to France. While there prosecling bis claims for the spoliation of his Sau Domingo property, Jumel con- ceived the notion of selling out his property iit this country and purchasing an estate sowe- where in the neighborhood of Paris. Mrs. Jumel, who was with nim abroad, quite agreed with this notion. In 182 he gave ber a vower torney in the usual form, authorizing ler to sell for his account and s FOR JIIS USE AND BENEFY his real estate in New York City and State. Armed with this document she returned to America, and tool charge of the property, leasing it, collecting rents, ete., aud, altbouwh in her fetters to ber husband advising a sale because the value of vroperty creasing, yet from time to time during two years she conveyed under this power of at- of torney all theé property owned by her husband, excepting wbout sixty acres 10 the melzhbornood _of gk Bridge and what is now - calied Washinzton Heiehts. All the conveances were wade to Mary Jumnel Bownes, the allezed and adupted nicee, and who fmmediately reconveyed it back again. Some years aiter Mary Jumel Bownes had re- conveyed the property” back to Jumel, through the help of vue Michael Werckmeister, the Madame, with the aid of this sume Wer meister, conveyed it o a triend named Fran Phillivpen for 1, and he_ou the same day con- veved it back again in fee. Mrs. Jumel con- tinued in the occubation and coutrol of the property aod never informed Mr. Juniel of these ™ conveyances. When he returned_to this coun- try in 1823 bie went to work in_Dblissful ingno- rance of the transfers, improving the property and planting vineyhrds, cte. He died in May, 1832 Tenm jyears later Mary Jumel Bownes, the allezed” niece, who bad married 2 man named Nelson Chase, also died, and this Jeft Mrs. Jumel alone in possession of tbe yast estate. Somebow this Mr. Chase obtained possession of a part of the mausion, and Lhere he lived in spite of its owner, who bated him itterly but nad not nerve enough to turu- him out of Lier own house. Itis currently believed that Nelson Chase is. AN ILLEGITIMATE SON OF AARON BURR. Mons. Jumel’s friends and relatives w France only beard of nis death by rumor somne tune atter the event had occarred.

To this inquiry, in July, 155, they received a . letter’ over Mrs. Jumels signature, which stated by reason of- her grest grief at the loss of - her husbaud she had been umnable to write sooner.

Mrs. Jumel continued to live ina wretched condition wita herself and the rest of the world — e e e 3 until she died. This wasin 1865, she being at that time in her 93d year. violent passion, and used to make it hot for all who lived in her house. Her servants she kept in mwe of her by threatening to shoot them, and in those days there wasa sort of a notion prey- alent that Inistresses “were supreme in their own bouseholds. - However, inany cousidered Mrs, slightly insane, and excused her ec- centricities on that account. Before death she showed her disgust for her legal heirs by calling in an E pal clergyman, whotn sne etnployed to draw a will. which she signed. bequeathing her vast property to benevolent opjects, with the exception of a_small sum to Chase and a neat lewacy to the cleroyman who drew up the docu- ment. Long before this, however,—in fact, as far back as 1825,—Mrs. Jumel made a deed of appointinent directing that 3t her death the properiy stiould go to the adopted asughter, —that is, the allezed niece; or, In other words, Mary Bownes, or Wigeins, or whatever her name may have been, and vested: the title in this same person, Wwho was the wife of Nelson Chase. ‘This Mrs. Chase died in 1842, leaving two chil- dren, William 1. Chase and_ Eliza Jumel Chase, who was marricd to a wan named Paul R. Pery. ON THE DEATH OP MES. JUMEL the children of William Joues (this was Polly Bowen’s family) sold all their share, right, and cluim in the estate to Chase, and he commenced suit ta break the will on the ground of iusanity. He succecided, and paid, or at least agreed to pay, 350,000 in costs and compensution, and supposed himself the master of this vast estate. Hapoy at. this conclusion, he araiu married aud rushed off to Europe on his bridal tour. But witli his depurture stranre points in the . settlement of this singuiar case began to show themselves. Tt was discovered, or at least it was so clalmed, that Mary dumel Bowues, the adopted niece, in- stead of being the Hicsitimate child of Polty Bowen, was i reality the illecitimate daughter of Betsey Jumel, born at a time when she was Miss Bowen and_an inmate of the Providence Work-Hlouse. Chase, livwever, had succeeded in breaking the will, and in_obtainine, as be be- lieved, the estate, not through his first wife, whom lie knew and everybody else knew to be illewitinate. but tlirouzh bis purchase of the Jones heirships. But Chase had hardly reached” Europe before De bad 1o burry back home to resist a claim for the vast properéy in question. [ told you at the Deginning that Polly uud Betsy had a brother, His nuwe was Johu Bowen, Jr., and the suppo- sition that he had died at_ sea appears to have been a mistake,—or, at least the plaintitls whom Chase had to coutend with clained as much. We are, said they, the childrea of Jobu Bowen, and are heirs to the Jumel property, beivg nephews and nicees of Lliza Jumel. These plaintiffs, iu their action ol _ ejectment brought in 1868 against Nelson Cluse, averred thai they were the ouly heirs; that Polly Bowen never married Villiam Jones, but died as she always lived,—a prostitute; and that Jones’ wifc, instead of Dbe- g their Aunt Polly, was'the daughter of Jona- than Clarke, that man- aving married the wid- ow of John Bowen. So there was ASTRANGE CONPLICATION. The witnesses, of course, are, with few excep- tious, dead, aud the’ survivors so enfecbled by age thut 11, was diflicult to rely on their memo- ries, esoecially concerning events which occurred fully seventy years before. The Bowen suit azzainst the Chases, althourh ithus passed once through the Unitea States Supreme Court, is not vet ended. The title of this cuse_reads: *Georze W. Bowen awainst Nelson Chase, Eliza Jumel Pery, aud her hus- band, Paul K. Pery, -and William J. Chase.” This Mrs. Pery was, us I ;lave already stated, a duughter of Nelson Chase by nis wite, the adopt- cd or allesed niece of Mrs. Jumel, while William J. Chase was & patural brother of Mrs. Pery, The demand of Georie’ W. Boweu for a share in the inheritance was resisted by these people, aud the case went fromycourt to court until it 2ched the Suvreme Court at Washington, where it was decided April 2,187, When Srs. Jumel Jelt 10 classes T property. The first consisted ofthat wiich she bad acquired or stolen from her busband before aud at s death, that is to say, the lands purchased by Stephicn Juniel and turued over to his wile in the mauner aiready indicated. The second class comprised Mrs. Jumel’s own purchises. “I'ie Bowen suit agaiust Chase was first tried before a struck jury in 1873, and judgment was rendered for the fatter. Appeal was then taken to the State Supreme Court, aud from there to the Circuit Court. In ‘that suit tie question arose as to the admissibility ot . the declarations of Mrs. Jumel tiat shedud had 2 son, und the claim that that son witg.tie one who now claim- ed her property as. ot THE ONLY RiOUTFOL HEIR.

IT WAS THEN DECIDED: First, thit all of these deeds were fraudulent as to the children, and_that- they were entitled to recover for the fraud s the value of the Maktin and Kingslaud property the sum of $305.000 second, that the deed to! Phillippon was 1i lent and void; third, that the value of the Sara- toga, the Seventh due, and other property which Mrs, Jumel had-bouslit with ber own money was not enough to vy these damages of $305, 000, and that thercfore” as to Chase and children they were entitled to an injunction re- straininz Bowen from proseeuting the suit to wet the Saratogu and other property which the Madawe bud purchased with her own money; fourth, that Bowen, . having quit claimed the Seventh avenue proverty to Mr. Covert, to whom Chase and s children had sold it, and received $2,500 for the release, he must pay that amount to Chuse, From this decision” Bowen appealed. : s ‘I'ne United States Supreme Court decided that none of thieconverauces by Mrs. Jumel were fraudulent; that inafmuch as the trost-deea contained several powers, and one of them was apower of sale, when that power of sale was ex- creised it overrode all the other powers, and aid away with the appointment of 15233 secoud, that Chase was ol entitled to recover the stim of $305.000 {or dawnawes, or suy other sumn; third, that the deeds to King’s land and Mar- tin's were good and vested a perfect title in them; fourth, that as to the claim for $2,500 damayes it was utterly groundless; fituh, that Mr. Chase was not entitled to any injunction estraining Bowen from suing fof and yecovering any of the property which Mrs. Jumel Dought with her own money, or any property excepting that which was coyered by thie appolutment of which she had not Subsequently suld; sixtb, that the judg- mentof the Circuit Court must be reversed, with costs i favor of Bowen awainst Chase and children. The Court further decided that the property which was covered by the appoiut? ent, and which Mrs. Jumel Lad 1ot subs quently sold to purchaseys for value, BELONGED TO 3ItS. CHASE'S CHILDREN. "This includes the property at the corner of Lib- erty street aud_Broudway, in this city, aud the homestead of thirty-four acres st Washington lleignts. The property which Bowen still ¢luims as not covered by the appoiutiment and which Mrs. Jumel boutiit with ner own money is Saratoga property valued at over $230,0: and sixty-ive acres of land near now worth in the neighborhood of 33,000,000, Loug betore this decision had been given the present oceupants of the property found then- seives confronted by the lving heirs of Stephen Jumel. . These are Francois Henry Jdumel, Louise C. L. Jumel Plante, Fraacois Plante, -Marie M. Jumel de Seroka, Jules Vineent de Seroka, Madeleine K. Texoeres Marrast, tor Armand Marrast, Jeau Albert Tauziede, Jean Amedee Tauzicde, Aliz M. V. Tauziede Soubiran, and Gustave B. M. G. Soubiran, who are citizens of ‘the Republic of France. As L have already shown, there was no fssuc born of marriage between Stephen and his Betsey, and therefore these French | peo- ple above named mnow claim that tocir ancestors were_on M. Jumel’s death the bheirs at luw, beine of the next and nearest bioud kin, not only aceording to the 1aws of France, but of this State as+ well. Naturally, thuse relatives irearing that tnere were millions i it, souzht out an opoortunity for thrustivg a doxer into the rich pie in Amerea. There Was no doubt about their being diréec descendants of - Stephen Jumel, consequently their case was good enoush for suen distinguished attorneys as tie lion. Matt Carpeuter, Col. Josepb. B. Stewart, and toutenbureh, Esg., to take hold of and ceessiul ferimimation. ‘Phe bill of complaint of these French heirs was first preseoted i 1576. It was drawn up atbu tinte when it was befieved that M. Jumel \¥as always an alicn.One day . TIE 3IARQUIS DE CHAMBRUN, .+ tor or the Freneh Legation to this , and who i3 the lezat represeutative of the Freoeh beirs, discovered in Washinzton, as & matter of fact as well 45 of record, that Stephen, who was a native born subject of France, was for several years rior to Jane 1, 1814, a naturalized citized ot the United States, She was a woman of | i and remained so naturalized until his deach. This discovery necessitated a new bill of com- plaint, and_accordingly another one was: pre- . pared and filed in the courts, ‘Thisbill was filed | duriug the prescnt year, and the answer there- toon beball of Nelson Chase and otbers was the one which was presented today. Before epitomizing this answer, lct me briefly tell you what the complainants ask for. In the first place, these heirs show that Stephen left no children, but left Eliza, or Elizibeth; or Betsy, his widow, one brother, to-wit: Francois Jumel, and oue sister, Madeleine Lagardere, and that Francois and Madeleine are the only heirs-at-law. Now the names of those mer- tioned are the lineal desvendants of Francols and Madeleine, and as such claim that they are entitled to the pssession and ownership ot all the property at staké not bought with Mme. Jumel’s own money. In other words, Nelson Chase s usked to surrender possession of the vast estate and Tiches which he has so long enjoyed. - THE DEFENDANTS' ANSWER. After innumerable postponements and delays on the part of their counsel, the defendants filed their answer this afternoon. On the whole it may be caffed a ceneral sort of denial of ety pearly everstniniz in- the complainants® ill.- Two 6f the defendants are Mrs. Eliza Ju- mel Pery Caryl and her husband, Julius Heurs Cargl.” Mrs. “Caryl is the daughter of Nelson Chase, and the alleged niece elsewhbere mentioned 3s having married , Paul K. Yery., A few years ‘back Pery died, and she” then married Caryl. ~ Asked, not loug after, by a soclety lady of this ity why she married that man, Mrs. Caryl replied that it w 2 matter of busivess. Pernaps vou will under- stand this singzular expression when I explain it alittle. Carvl is the nephew and ounly living relative of a man who is an important withess for the defendants. Fifty years i then a mere hoy, 2 son of Mme. . man, heard Mr. Jumel say—so he bas testificd— toat the women folks had sold the place, but | JIE WAS SATISFIED WITI TIE BARGAIN. After dun interval of fifty years the witness not only remembers this conversation, but is able to fix the exact «day on whicn it took place. These defendunts also admit many things which are in the complainants’ bill, but claim that the transfers of property referred to were made in good fuith and with the full knowledze of Stephen Jumel. They deny, however, that Stephen did not understand the English lungruoge. They disclaim all knowledae of the French relations, and say if thev are the ueirs-at-law it is the first time the defend- ants knew anything about it. They do not know that Mary Bownes was very poor when she came ioto the family, but they do know that in 1803, when but 2 female child of tender years, she was received into the family as their adopted child, and thenceforth supported, main- tained, and educated as such; 2nd, while admit- ting that ! HER PARENTAGE MAT BE UNCERTAIN, they insist that all through ner life she was rec- omiized as tae adoptedl chitd and intended heiress of Stephen and Eliza Jumel, ‘As for the sell-out of the Jones children, that was for the sum of $40,000. They then proceed tomake some diszraceful insinuations relutive to counsel for the complainants, and wind up yr document with u copy of 'the paper by ) the Joneses transferred their rights to Chase. The next movement will be made by complainants, after which proof will be asked for by thie Court, and of course submitted by both sides. © OFFICER RACE. His Murderer Not Yet Under Lock and Key. The Police in Hot Pursuit of the Man and His Companion. Donbts as to Whether They Are on ihe Right Track. - The day after the murder was fruitful in efforts onthe part of the oolice to track and the murderer and in the speculations, izings, and Jabored attempts at mystifica- tiou which seem to be a necessary part of the official hunting-down of criminals everywhere. The detectives and the police needed no spur to privk them on in their search. A brave officer, of whom vothing but gooil was or conld be said, had been murdered in cold blood by a thievish assassin, and the desire to avenge the brave man’s death animated every breast. System- atic efforts wcré bezun Jate’ Friday night look- ing to the discovery of the viliain who fired the shot and his silent, thouzh responsible, partner in' gailt, and long before morn- iug the news had reached every corucr of the city, and men were on the alert for such as might be found to answer the descriptions furnished from headquarters. The efforts werc at no time relaxed, and, although not attended by immediate success, the officers were none the less determived and none the less confident in their assertious that they were on' the right track, and that it was only a matter of time and patience to capturc the game. The arrested ones at the Armory were duly interviewed, and, shile their different storics Were in many re- spects unsatisfactory and contradictory, still she officers managed to sccurc some- thing in the way of “starters” that went fartoconfirm what they already knew, orat least suspeeted with such ood reason that it was about 18 good as actual - knowledge. Patfently and untiringlv, and of course secretly, thev fol- Jowed up all the clews they could obtain, conti- dent that tangible results would be gained sooner or later. Zs by Early in tbe morning, i MESSRS. BOLTON AND HUTCHL managers of tie Chicago Branch of E. 5. Jaffrey & Co., New York, weat to the Armory and viewed the property of which their house was so cleverly relieved Friday night. The Armory police had secured all of it thev courd find in the pawnbroker’s shop and in the wagon, and removed izsto Capt. O'Donnell’s private office, where it lay spread out in rich protusion,—balts of Leavy silk, veivets, and satins, and stacks of colored silk handkerchiefs, “togetber with the scientifically-knotted “ wipes 7 that the thieves had used to bundie up portions of their plunder. 1t took considerable ‘time to make 1 thorough inventory of the recovered property, but the geutlemen at last were -able 10 account tor everything but a diece of v Veteen, figured out the value of the recovered ,500, and congratulated themsclves accordingiy on their good [uci. [f anything could have added ro their satisfaction it would have been the spectacle of the two thieves in the possession of the authorities and the maurderer of Officer Race in n posi- tion where he sbould be in =z fair way to expericnce the sensation of being swung oif in mid air. Thanking the officers for their as assistance n getting back their property, leav- fng samples of cach piece, and promising thém every aad In their power . the way of erresting and punisiing the perpetrators of Friday night's crime, they removed their recovercd wealth to their store on Fifth avenue. Two bundles of cigar boxes, fullof the manufactured weed, were also brought to the Armory, but Cappels, whose stamp theybore, did=’t turn up to ¢laim them, and the vawnbroker’s story to the effect that Cappels had pawned them was looked upon as correct. Duricg the morning Lhe police VISITED FRIEDBEEG'S in company with that worthy. opened his safe, took theretrom its conteni ef among which were some Government bouds, o mortgage, and other stuif, and bore it ail away to the Central Station. Whiic they had their hands iu, as it were, they also secured and transferred to the same place for safe keepiag a lot of soued linen, Spoons, ete.. ete., marked - Avenue House,” the idea being t the truck ias “erooked,” aud might be claimed by its ul owners. Some otber proverty of -the uondescript cbaracter Wsually found around a pawnbruker’s shop, but 10 record of whicn could be found on Fried- bere’s books, was also_frozen to and put where he owners could idvatity it if thev ghos X . In the meantime, the niachinery for the official inquiry iuto the causeof Ofiicer Race's d was put in order, and . ‘. CORONDE DIETZSCH summoned_an unusually intelhzent jory.. of which Dr. Tucker was [oremau, and Dr. » cock, Messrs. Elton, the undertaker, aod W. Smith, thedrugmist, some of the more prominent members. * They viewed the-brave oiicer’s re- muits a; Elton’s, and theu adjourned-to await the result of the pofice investigacions. Couaty- Pnysician Geiger made a post-mortein examina- tion, and found that tiie ball entercd below Lie rigut ear, passed through the spinal columu at the . base of the brain, aud lodged in the left shoulaer, bus a-ittle way under the skm. The ball was .apparently fired . from a “Swamp Angel .revolver, calibre 42, and 1t split o the spinal colump;. but the pleces followed each other closely. . X ‘Pue poitce also discovered during the morn- four. 4 witness who can probably wentify the two thieves iwith more- positiveness than aoy others who bave yet come to their potice. The witness referred to is a young man by the name of - p WILLIAM HARMON, who drives a delivery wagon for H. M. Heige, 3 grocer at No. 497 State street. Harmon's story is that he was standine directly across the way from Fricdberz’s when the deatb-deatip shot was fired. He heard It so plainly that he re- marked upon the report being #s loud as toat nf a musket. The horse, he suys, was facing south. and the wazon was standing next the pavement. Two men, each apparently about 25 years of age or thereabouts, were sitting on the wagou-seat, and the officer stood on the edye of the sidewalk, next the rig. Harmon describes one af the men as beinz of medium size and wearing a dark bat. Ile is clear as to his having a mustache, but thinks he had no wuiskers. The second man fn the wagon was of smaller build, but with broad sioulders, and wore a dark suck cout aud a whitesbirt. It was the latter who fired the shot, and then jumped out of the waron and ran across the street and aown Eldridge court towards Wabast aveoue, shoving the revolver iuto his’ hip-pocket as he ran. ‘The other man turned the horse around and drove north ‘on State street, en- deavoring to force' the animal into a run. In tiis ke was 50 ubsuccessful that, after going a hundred fcet or so, he jumped out and rau.off towards the east through a coal- yard. Harmon did his best to call an oflicer, rapping on 3 lamp-post with a stone for some minutes. Had his call been beanl and answered promptly, e thinks the murderer could have been run down acd caught. More with a view to being on the safe side thao with any well- founded idea that Lynett and Lane, at whose place tne waron was afterwards found, were the persous who were in the wagou at the time of the murder, Harmon was taken to the Armory to see the two men, whom be failed to identify in any particular s the men he bad seen Friday nig] Of the prisoners at the Armory, the two wom- n, c RY. FRIEDBERS and Mrs. Harvey, were accorded accommoda- tions in a privatc roow off from tue vllice. Mrs. Friedbers was curled upon a bunk, ai she was sick. The wise ones about the Armory, however, touk another view of tie matter, and expressed themsetyes, in - the fashion of the world, to the effect that she was plaging ’pos- sum. At any rate,she would oot talk, und nothing new could be learned from Mrs. Harvey with the exception, perhaps, of 4 statement that Friedbery exciaimed, when the zoods were be- ing brousht into his shop LY owe of the men Friday night, *For God's sake dou't bring them goods in here.” Friedberg nimsell occupied a cell in the lower regions of the Armory and Harvey another avartinent some distunce removed. Tue TRIBUNE man called ou both of them durivg the afternoon, and coula not iselp noticing the material variance fu the two stories they told, Friedbere contradicting himself repeatedly, and Harvey telling what seemed to be a pl unvarnished tale of the whole course of events, as far as he knew them. Fricdberg insisted that but ope load had been left at his shop, and that during’ his absen On his return, his wile told him that two men, about 25 years of awre, had called and left some goods which she receivel but did not-pay any- thing o, telline them that her husband would look ai them when he came in, and then decide whether he wanted totake them or mot. Friedbers insisted that he dido’t know who.the men were, that he wasn't-in the habit of recciving *crooked ™ goods, and_that in every respect b was about asnear being the piok of propricty as a xood and virtuous pawnbroker could be. Finding him prool on this subject, the reporter tried A LITTLE MILD BULLDOZING by way of drawini him out. It succeeded pa tially, for the pawnbroker wasu’t to be entirely scared by visions of Coroner’s juries and things, and the prospect of his. beivg beld as an acces- sory to the crime if he didn't “squeal,” *lay down,” -and *tell all be. knew.”” If the little stratarem succeeded in no other respect, it drew from him the decidedly mixed statement that he thought he could” identity a waun, whom be still jusisted be bad not seen, but whom his wife hat vaguelv described as about 25 vears old! Harve told this story smoothly and vo- placently, as he did the night before, dwelli: upon tlie fact that, on going to Friedbery' after his wife, he met Fricdverz and a mun of swall stature, dressed in‘a black suit and wear- ing a black soft bat,with lizht hair and cleanly-shaven face, taiking .together in the store.” When they ot throusl, Friedbers came to nim, and Harvey asked him what thut man wanted. Friedoer replied that the man had some silk handkerchiefs. and Harvey told him to bave nothing to'do with him, as ke had zot- ten into enourh troudle previousty. Then he went into the back room ~where lus wife was. He staved therc only a few minutes, beard scveral “ thuds ” out i the office, as of packages beiug thrown on the floor, aud, jump- ingzup, said he was goinir home. He started out, Frieaberg either following bitn or keeping at his side, and as they zot out “he heard and saw the shot fired by the smaller of the two men, who was sitting 8n the wagon-scat. The rest of what he snid was unimportant, but the foregoing confirus the idea that Friedbery lud arranged for the delivery of these goods,—u most reasouable idea, too. when it is remcm- bered that no robbery of such fimportance would have been coutemplated by two very clever rogues had they not arranged - before- hand just where they would take the swayr for conversion into money. Another cir- cumstance that went to contirm this y rila ried- was the discovery of_the fact that Mry. F bere told u Mrs. Cook Fridav,when they higgled on a trade, that she would have some more silk fn store Saturday morning, out of which she would no doubt find what she wanted st a price she would be wliling to pay. ‘The two men, : LYNET AND LANE, arrested at their house ou Jdeflerson street, told the same story yesterday that they did the before, Lynet claiming that he rented the horse and wavon from a mag named Baker at 75 cents a day, and that he used the i in his business of pickle-vending. .

As to who had taken it he badn’t fue least idea. He had never loaned it to auy one, had Do connection With “crooks” of any sort, and didn’t see why he was kept focked up in_a chilly cell velow the ground. Laune, who is just out of the Workhouse, where he worked out u $100 tine, says Le went to stay with Lynett, his brothier-in-law, for the reason that be had vothing todoand was out of mone! Lyuet told him about the loss of his rig g the Kinzie street saloon, and they set out to_look for it. A smail colored boy. pamed Willie Hutchinson, who saw the man ruoning across thevacantlot Friday eveniug, after the shooting, was talen through the corridor yesterday morn- ing, but failed to identily cither of the prisoners as the mau be had scen. Probably no one ever iinagived that thev were the guilty parties, but it was evidently thought that thev mizht know something that would lead up to the capture of the thieves. As it pow turns ost, they didn’t lnow even that much. . Baker, the ownerof the riz. came Into the Central during the afternvon and got au order forit. OFFICER ALBERT RACE was o man of whom his brother officers speak fn the very higliest terms of respect and prai Ale was appainted u sub-policeman June 7,-1575, Wheu ne was only 22 vears of aye. Even before toat'he bad served as u member of [lamlin's foree, and had won suen distinction as epabied him tw present very strong recommenda- tions. ~ He was made a regular police- man - Aug. 17, 137 and assiencd to duty at the Deeriog-Street Station, where he remaincd until May, 1577, wheo he was_ trans- ferred to the Armory. His habits were unex- ptionable, and his repatation among the mem- bers of thie force was that of a quiet, uervy, seu- ticmanly oflicer. He wasaccounted to be voe of the best-lookine men on the force. The mea are unanimous in saying that he never hesitated 1o do his duty, though his conduct was ulways numane and bis mauers the soul of courtesy. He had the faculty of winnini the esteem of all 2 be wet, snd “many became his warm personal friends. He nad for some time been enzaged to an _estimable young lady in the Deering-street district, und their wedding, it is understood, was to Dhave been celébrated - in the near future but for his untimely taiinz-oiL. ' The body of this brave ofiicer, ¢o suddenly shot down while hooestly and courugecusly verforming his dusy, was turned over to Mrs. Hager Hall, of No. 15 Keeley street, with-whom Officer Race boarded {or.some time, and whom he aften caled by she name of -+ mézhnc,n: us own liviag- in Peonsyl- vapia. from which” Stazg, Otticer Race came.

At the Chicaro Aveaue Station two other mysterious heinzs ‘were nuder lock and key, and nearly cverv sta- tion had oné or more equally mysterious prison- ers. Oue of thE street rumors was to the cifect that John Lamb, the notorions burelar. w abont o year avo turned off the gas vt the seum for the purpose of zivinr his t- finzered brethren u chance to ply their voct- tions, was the -actusl wmurderer, and that he had been caotured. The police denied. that- Lumb had been arrested, but a reporter incidentally learned that a suspicious looking personaze had engaged a room inu South Division lodging-house, having with him n satchel that was quite heavy, and which was supposed to contsin 2 quantity of the stolen silks. It was said that this suspicious person proved upon investigation to be the notorious Jotn Lamb. The stery.bore some semblauce of the trath, and as John Lamo was uot in custody last might, according to the police. it may have been that he was under close surveillance. % ONE OF THE RUMOIS floatioz about last night was that the detectd were alter Charley Dennis and the Sheeney kid, whose pictures Harvey was said to have iden- tified in the Rogues’ Gallery yesterday morn- ing as being correct representations of the two men he saw in the ' wagon in front of Friedberz’s, It was reported that the assassin had ed esst, and one theory was that, atter reaching the tracks on the luke shore, he stole out of town on 3 freight-trai number of the polire were sent out iu hacks late that night, and were oraered ‘to_zuard Stony Island svenite, Grand Crossing, South Chicaro, and neizhborhood. T'wo of them spent apart of the day between the city and Iivde Park, looking after them. They didw’t find thew, however, and at last accounts had about wiven them up. being ratner isposed to think they had skipoed out ona train Friduy night. One objection to the theory that they did it is that Harvey was not close nouzh to the men to describe more than their ize, clothing, aud geueral appearance, and this would hardly enable bim to identify thew positively. In fact, in the Interview with Har- vey yesierday afternoon, that person said it was ot impossibie thag he might fuil tc identify the wen evenil he should see them aguin, the positivn of the wen iv the wagon at the time ter of somé diflicuity.

At 9 o'clock last. evening Lawyer Trude called at the Armory and gave bail for Patrick Har- vey in the sum of $2,000, for Mrs. flarvey m §1,000, aud for Mrs. Friedberg in §3.000. He was doubtless brought into the case through his business relations with Frieberz, who rents one of Mr. Trude’s houses. The otherprisoners were ot admitted to bail. As an offset to Harvey’s protestations of fo- nocence in the affair. the police last evening learued that about 8 o'clock Friduy eveninz Hurvey wade endeavors to borrow sumws of nouey from his frends, and finally requested a el losn of Harry Robinsow, & - saluon- keeper on Fourth _ avenue, sayig that he had ' a chanec to make 2 good speculation, and would beable to refund the mone) a day or two. The police luok upon this as a strony liuk in the evidence that Harvey was uccessory to the burglary befure and after the fact, and that the bresence of dental, as he woull have them belteve. The fact that he contradicts himsell frequeutly strengtnens this idea. |, 3 ANOTHER TACK. At an early hour this moroing Officer G.
