EVENING STAR. “LOCAL INTELLIGENCE, The St. Louis Intelligencer of Monday “Among the distinguished strangers be our city is Mr. Geo Bancroft, the eminent and talented historian. He is on a visit of a few days, and contemplates, we un- derstand, an excursion to some of the locali- ties in our neighborhood, connected with that period of our revolutionary history which will form the subject of the next volume of his brilliant work ” Taz Escare or Essex —Yesterday, a war- . rant was issued by Jystice Offutt for the ar rest of Justice Jno. $ Hollingshead, charged, on the oath of Officer H. T. L Wilson, with suspicion of complicity in the escape of John Essex when under the charge of murder The warrant was directed to Officer Charles Kim- ball, and served by him, and returned before Justice Jno. D. Clark. A bearing of the case was commenced at 10 o’clock this morning before Justice Clark at his office. Officer H.T L. Wilson was sworn.—Heard the outery of murder, while he was sitting in Justice Donn’s office ; he was sick with a bad headache ; ran in pursuit of the prisoner. but when he reached him he had already been arrested by other officers. The prisoner asked to go to Hollingshead’s office ; witness said he could go to Hollingshead’s if he wished ; the prisoner did not belong to witness, and he had nothing to do with him. When we entered the office, Mr. Hollingshead inquired whst charge the prisoner was brought upon. It was remarked that it was upon suspicion of murder News was brought in that the man wasdead The only conversation wil- ness had with John Evsex, the prisoner, wis that Essex asked witness what was the news, witness told him the man was dead; this wasall witness said to prisoner ; witness said to Justice Hollingshead, ‘‘I would commit him, Squire;’’ the Justice said he wanted further evidence Mr. Hollingshead and Officer Duvall went into the other room, and had a conversation to- gether; did not see Mr. Hollingshead speak te the prisoner; they allowed Kssex’s father to take the prisoner out in the yard; witness did not see Mr. Hollingshead acting with the appearance of complicity; Davall was the officer in charge of the prisoner; did not see Mr. Hollingshead in conyersation with the risoner In the opinion of witness, old Mr Essex, the prisoner’s father, could tell as much about the escape of the prisoner as any- body. Daring the trial, the prisoner was be- fore the Magistrate in the front office; it was enly during the suspension of the trial that the — was inthe back room. Hollings head declined to take bail when witness asked him; witness saw no complicity on the part of Mr. Hollingshead with the prisoner himself; had heard Officer Parham say that he told Mr. Hollingshead the prisoner was charged with the murder, but dia not know it of his own knowledge In consequence of the absence of other wit- nesses the further consideration of the care was deferred until five o'clock this evening AnncaL Meetine or tag American Instt- Tete or Homeoratay —The Inztitute held its th annual meeting at the Smithsonian Institute, commencing its sessicnson Wednes- day morning, and cumpleting its business yes- terday afternoon. The meeting was called to order by Dr. J. P. Dake of Pittsburg, Pa. Dr. Geo. W. P. Sweezey of Springfield, Mass., was elected cbsirman ; Dr. F. R. McManus of Baltimore, was elected general secretary for the next year; Dr. John T. Middleton of Baltimore, rovisional secretary; Dr. S. S. Guy of rocklyn, N. Y., treasurer, and Drs. Wiilism- son, Piper, Green, Gardner and Janney, the Board of Censors. . The Treasurer's report showed assets in hand to the amount of $1,184. Ailer the transaction of further business, the meeting adjourned until 8 o’clock in the evening, when the annual address was deliv- ered by Dr D. M. Dake; subject : *‘ Reasons why cert ¢ in science, and stability in the art of medicine, have been precluded through § ages, as cultivated by the old or 1 school’ The lecturer presented f Hemeopatby with clearness and force. The cheracteristics of the new and eld schools were given. The tests by which facts are elicited; the course of observation pursued, and the logical formula by which facts are construed for scientific purposes, in the respective schools, were pointed out. The lecturer undertook to show by analogy how medical science wust be built up to become the fixed basis of therapeutics; and how, by all the accepted tests, methods of observation, and logical formulas of the old schools, pro gre:s has been impossible Blind adherence to medical authority was severely dealt with - and slavery of mind to mind repudiated as the surest brake upon the wheels of progress in any branch of learning. Yesterday, the Convention concluded its proceedings by the appoointment of commit- tees on various scientific subjects to report at their next meeting to be held at Chicago one year from this time. Much interest was man Mested in the proceedings of the Convention, and its audiences were intelligent and appre- clative Tax Coroner Carruren.—We received on Tuesday, two cards, enclosed in a neat envel- ope; the one bearing the engraved words, “Joseph Shillington,” and the other, ‘ Liz zie Cummings, Central Presbyterian Church, Thursday morning, 5th June, 7 o'clock. Now, this was to us acompliment as well a tprise ; for although nothing was said about @ wedding. the wording of the cards Was significant of such an event. We had, for a long time, thought that the Colonel was too sensitive to the tender passion to live in perpetual singleness ; in other words, to adopt the idea that “celibacy was like a fly in the heart of an apple, living in perpetual sweet- ness ’’ When, however, he was recently ac- cused of a ign to commit matrimony, blushes would appear on his honest face, which betrayed, as we thought, the trath of his commendable design. He had traveled in Europe within the past year; bad seen the demoiselles of fa hele France, the buxom English lasses, and the fair girls ofhisown nie tive Erin, and, for aught we know, waltzed with the maidens of the Rhine : but, after all, the Colonel has rushed to arms, and won a ¥ictory im Baltimore, securing a partner for life worthy of his generous heart. Col. Shil- Lington—Joe Shillington—is really married ! He has thns tan ee worthy to be fol- lowed, aod has wheeled handsomely into the mstrimonial ranks. We must be permitted, thus publicly to congratulate him upon the happy event. If our hopes could be realised, he would never know a throb of sorrow. Damage ny Ligutxinc —Yesterday, during the heavy storm of wind that visited this city, the new Presbyterian church in the Firat Ward, on I, between Twenty-first and Twenty- second streets, was struck by lightning and seriously injured. The square tower, which was in progress of erection, and which had reached to about thirty feet above the rvof, was nearly all thrown down, the bricks falling upon the reof, breaking through a rection of it, and penetrating to the basement. The loss will = ably amount to about $1,000 or $1,200. We are informed that just previous to this occurrence the workmen had descended te the roof in the tower, and were there at the time; but fortunately none of them were hurt. We also learn that another house in the First Ward was slightly damaged by the r The Metropolitan House, near the steamboat wharf, was also struck, and some bricks torn from the walls. A number of peraons sitting in and about the house were stunned. Mitirizy Exection.—Last evening, at a meeting of the President s Mounted Guard, the following officers were elected: C W. Fliot, first lieutenant; Robt. Teal, second do ; Samuel (wen, third do; J. H @. McCatchen, third sergeant; E. Noer, first corporal; W Sanderson, second do; J. Augusterfer, third - hs snes, ae do After the election of officers the members of the co: roceeded to Hayward & Wilson's Union prhabs and en- Joyed the remainder of the evening over gfull supply of the delicacies of the season A Newser of assvult and battery cases, and peace warrants have been disposed of by va- rious mazistrates in two or three days past, mst of them growing out of the recent elsc. ton excitement. Quite a large portion were Cismissed by consent of parties, and others beld to security for peace, Tae Strawserry Festiva. now being held at the Columbia engine house, Capitol Hill, for the benefit of the Capitol Hill M E. church, has been most handsomely and taste- fully arranged by the ladies of the congrega- tion, and an abundant supply of the finest strawberries, ice cream, lemonade, cake, &c., provided—also coffee and other substantials, fancy articles, &c..&c The ladies with their strawbe: colored cheeks and smiling faces are there in full force, attractive and atten- tive to customers. The room is airy and plea- sant. An evening cannot be more pleasantly spent, and while indulging in the good things 80 profusely provided, it will be consoling to remember that the amount of money spent will be appropriated to a most praiseworth and benevolent enterprise It is expecte: that it will be continued Ladin this week. Go and see the ladies of Capitol Hill. —— NationaL THEATRE.—An excellent bill is offered for to-night ~The Serious Family, in- cluding the polf® and Quaker dance, and the nautical drama of The Ocean Child, so suc- cessful on the occasion of Mr. Jefferson’s bene- fit. To morrow evening is set apart for the benefitof Mr @. C. Boniface, who has made so favorable an impression upon the public. He is a good actor, and deserves a fine house. The bill is rich in variety and amusement— the first time of the new drama of The Bear Hunters, in which Mr Boniface, Mr. Jeffer- son, Mr Burnett, Mr. Adams, Miss Devlin, Mrs. Jefferson, and the entire company ap- pear, then the great ice scene from the spec- tacular drama of The Seaof Ice, and the << extravaganza of the Glance at New ‘ork, Mr. Boniface as Mose, and Mr. Jefferson as Datchy. A Pustic Cacawity.—During the storm yes- terday the noble and venerable oak which, for many years, has shaded the spring at Ar- lington, was prostrated by the wind. This will cause many a sigh among the young and gay who were accustomed to enjoy the sum- mer days, protected from the scorching rays of the sun by this monarch of the forest, and, seated beneath its wide-spreadiag branches, have listened with delight to tales of by gone days from the lips of the venerable and be- loved pe of Arlington He will re- ceive the warm sympathy of the community in his loss, which, indeed, may well be con- sidered a public calamity. Tax Firtzenta Srreet Prespyrerran CuuRcH are now holding a Fair in the Hall corner of Ninth and D streets This church has peculiar claims upon the sympathies of the christian public. About a year ago their beleved Pastor was removed from them by death, since which time they have been sup- plied statedly by kind friends. The object of this effort is to extinguish a debt still remain- ing upon the church edifice They appeal to the generous public to patronize them in their laudable undertaking. Their advertisement will be found in another column. InueeaL Voting —David Y. Moore was brought up on Wednesday before Justice Clark for a further hearing on the charge of voting at the second precinct of the Second Ward, wh re he swore he was a native born @itizen ; at the second precienct of the Fourth Ward, where he swore he resided three doors from the City Hall, on Four-and-a-half street ; at the first —— of the Fourth Ward, and alz) in the Fifth Ward. The witnesses stated that he voted for Mr. Hill. proved tothe sa’ was committed to j case. Mr. W. Henry Patwer’s first half-yearly examination of piano forte classes took place Wednesday night at Carusi’s Saloon, and was eminently successful. Too mueh praise can hardly be awarded to Mr. Palmer for his novel and effective mode of instruction. We must not particularize individual performan- ces of the young ladies, where all was done so well; we may say generally, however, that the accuracy and precision with which their parts were given by the performers, was most gratifying to their friends and satisfactory to the audience at large. The charges being ‘action of the Justice, he for trial at court in every Rowpyism —Yesterday morning, about one or two o'clock, a party of rowdies attacked the house of Mr. Charles Magee, corner of Sixth s‘reet east and Marylandavenue. Bricks and stones were used by the assailants, and the lives of the inmates placed in jeopardy. A child of Mrs. Magee was near losing its life by a brick thrown in the window. Not satis- fied with this. we are informed that the row- dies broke down the doors and shutters. The family, with the exception of Mre. Mazee, were all asleep when the attack was made. Court or CLaims.—Yesterday, Judge Black- ford delivered bis dissenting opinions in the cases of Thomas H. Baird vs. the United States, and O. H. Berryman and others ws. the United States. . The case of Richard R. Ward and others, assignees of Jacob Bacher, claiming the differ- ence between the price of stock issued to him and that of subsequent stock issued by the government in 1814 was opened by C E. Sherman, Esq., for the claimants, who con- tinued bis argument until the court adjourned. Ovraagzovs Assautt.—Thos. Butler, col- ored, was arrested by Officer Wilson for an assault and battery, and was taken to the guard house. When arrested he hai a large crowd of men and boys after him, who were throwing stones and other missles at bim ina house, where he had taken refuge. Yester- day morning he appeared to be cut about the face and head, and his clothing much spotted with blood fron the wounds. He was held to bail for court by Captain Birch Assavuit.—On Wednesday night three men went to the Union House, on C street, near Seventh, and assaulted the barkeeper. A scuffle ensued, when Mr. Wilson, one of the proprictors, interfered, and two of the asaail- ants were knocked down and put out of the house. A row out of doors occurred; but the arrival of officers put an end to it, and two of the party, Martin Kelly and Jas Connor, were taken to the guard-house, and held to bail for peace.
