Mr. Fleetwood, of the Freedman’s Bank, *es- tified that Maj.

Dr. Swentzell said nothing but a sense of duty impelled him t engage in this discussion; that he entertained the highest regard tor the president of this conference, but while the character ot the president should be held in high esteem the churches were also invested with rights, and that in this case the law is in fault, and that he believed both parties were in at he never saw a dispute between a man and wife where both were not to blame; | that he hoped a compromise could be effected: to this end he should work as he claimed to be @ peacem «ker.

Graham, of the Treasury department, vouching for his responsibility, when he paid | him the money. | ‘THE OTHER SIDE. Here Mr. Rice stated to the court that Mrs. Fogg died in December, and by her will he was | made her executor, in which capacity he was now acting. Before Mrs. Fogg’e death and dar- ing her illness she bad got Mrs. Sterner to settle hr bills, which had been made by her nurse, | Martha Alexander, and which were extraor- | dinary in amount. Many articles were also miseing. As executor he felt in duty boand to Tecover the missing goods. Application had | been made to the detectives, who, however, nothing,and he next applied to the Police Court fo fa search warrant, which request was denied on the ground that there was not suffi- cient evidence of larceny. He then, in com. pany with Mrs. Sterner, went to Martha’s jonse and accused her of taking the articles, which she denied, protesting her innocence, ind offered to let them search. He decined to do £0 without the presence of an officer, but Martha, in some alarm, refused to send for one, and begged him not to do so, bat to searcti themselves. They did search, and found ail the missing goods, consisting of costly clothing, all packed up in an extra mattrass on Martha's bed. As to the bank-book, that was found in Martha’s trunk; she took all the things out hor- self: the order was written by him and read over to Martha, and she affixed her mark to it wil- lingly, te compensate in part for the money she had stolen from Mrs. Fogg. Here Mr. Rice ex- hibited an agreement drawn up by Miss Car- penter.a friend of Mrs. Sternum, and signed by Martha, wherein she acknowledges to taking articles and money from Mrs. Fogg, and agreea to let Mre. Sternum hold certain articles of hers until satisfaction was made, otherwise she (Martha) would be liable to arrest and puuish- | ment. Here Mr. Close (prosecuting attorney) sub- | mitted that this was a direct attempt to com- pound a felony, and that defendants should be eld for it. The court overruled this request. Mrs. Sterner here made a statement corrob- orative of that made by Mr. Rice She stated | that she was present when Mr. Rice wrote the order, and heard Martha give her consent to his drawing the money. Witness also recognized her own signature to the order in the bank- book as witness. Dr. Duncanson testified to attending Mrs. Fogg during ber illness, and that about one month prior to her death Mrs. Fogg had told | him that she bad been robbed of money and ar- ticles, and was quite excited about it. A NEW TURN To THE CASE. Here the judge said it was @ very remarkable case. He proceeded to review the testimony, and dismissed the defendants. Martha was thereupon held on the charge of lareeny and perjury, and committed for a hear- ing in default of $500 bail. The tables were turned in the Police Conrt yesterday,when Martha Alexander was charged with grand larceny of ladies clothing valued at #89, belonging to the estate of Isabella Fogg, deceased. After hearing the evidence, Judge Sneil sent the case to the grand jary, fixing the bonds at £500, in default of which Martha was committed. seen The Lig! “Fhe Lautern’* Eclipsea. A PUBLISHER ARRESTED AND BROUGHT BEFORE JUDGE SNBLL—H PER OF THE RLACKMAILING CHARACTER OF THE NEW YORK UN. Today, in the Police Court, John H. Adriaans, an eccentric German, was arraigned | on the charge of making threats of personal | violence to Justice $, C. Mills. It will be recol- lected that about one month since a sheet termed “*The Lantern” appeared on the street, containing gross abuse of persons in this Dis- trict. Among those defamed and threatened was Mr. Mills, who had had business transac- tions with Adriaans, and had incurred his en- mity. Believing him to ———— man, Mr. Mills swore out a warrant charging him with threatening language he had use | the document in the hands of Dete ‘cDevitt and Miller. This coming to the know! edge of Adriaans, he suddenly decamped from town, and has been absent since until yesterday, when be returned, and was arrested 8 the officers named and retained at police head- quarters for a hearing. Adriaans came to this country about three years ago, with his wife and son, a lad now about sixteen years of age, and has been living in this city and Baltimore since. He pretended to have nad all his mon '$60,000—stolen from him on board the steamer on which he took p here, and endeavored, through Justice Mills, to recover from the pro- perme of the line of steamers (the [nman line) is losses. His statements were 8) improbab! and contradictory that Mr. Mills soon suspected that his client was non compos menfis, and aba! doned the suit, and this was the cause of Adriaans’ enmity. He sought to obtain aympathy $ of the Masonic fraternity, of which | and charit; he claimed to be a member, but in this he did not succeed, from the fact that the Order here received a communication from Jan Wij- oom, first secretary of the Concordia Vincit A imos Lodge, at Amsterdam, Holland, warn- | ing the fraternity against him. Finding he | could not obtain money from this source, he conceived the idea of publishing: The Lantern, | and just prior to its appearance he in some in- stances inclosed proot slips of his paper to dif- ferent persons, where their names were used in 2 most objectionable manner—the ohjest, being, | | apparently, toextort money. One of these was aans had previously been employed as a watch- man. The following is a copy of it: . Wasainotow, Jan.

De. Bates was very sorry tor this trouble, and could not see the short way out. It had troal him much — the entire year. H» thought that many of the points in those dociinents were untounded, through misunderstanding. Dr. Eversole thought the wisest thing that could have been done was to have adopted the report at once; much had been said that he was sorry for; he did not want the papers read; would rather be out if they were read; did not want the public to hear them. Rev. Mr. Rowe said he was not prepared to vote upon those papers unless he knew more or mh em than what was reported by the com- Dr. Eversole hoped the gentleman would get the papers and read them for himself. The report was then adopted, and the latter part of it, which referred to the receiving of new churches, was referred to a committee con- sisting of Dr. Bates, S. B. Southerland, RK. G. Price and Wm. B. Ussletin. The conference proceeded to the election of a president for the ensuing year—R. B. Ferguson and Wm. Strayer acting as tellers.

Yesterday in the court in general term Judge Wylie announced that there were three cases_— the Savings’ Bank, Board of Health, and balid- ing association cases—which were of great pa’ lic interest, and although they had in some come te conclusions they proposed to postpone the announcement of the decisions. ‘They pro- posed to put their views in writing, that they may not be misunderstood. BUILDING ASSOCTATIONS. Mr. Davidge, of counsel for defen tants in the the building association case, said that he had felt in this case much concern, more so than it is usual for counsel to feel. The case is insig- nificant when compared with the large inter- ests sifected, and on reflection he had come to the conclusion that the case did not come up in adesiratle form. As it was hoped that the de- cisions of the court would go to the root, and in view of the magnitude of the interests in- volved—these associations paying out, as he was informed, $100,000 or over per month, it had occurred to him to ask the court to allow him to take testimony to make the point clear as to the partnership, with i court all the information ob rm. IN IMPORTANT PROPOSES TO RUN A Pa- | the form of the case would result in doing infi- nite mischief. Judge Wylie stated that the court would act with caution and prudence, but they coald not go ontside this particular case. Having the corstitution and works on such associations, they thought they fully understood the casa Judge MacArthur said that there was no dif- ficulty as to the torm of the accounts, but the, counsel might furnish the court with an addi- tional brief on this point. Mr. Davidge remarked that he wished it to appear that the relations of the party were as a and yendee, and not as burrower and lender. Judge Wylie —We understand that. POWERS OF THE VOARD OF HEALTH. Mr. A. K. Browne, counsel for the Board of Health, said that it was important to the board and the public that the decision in the case of the board against Bates should not be de- layed.
