H. Van Ness alias Livingstone ,on the charge of attempt- ing to negotiate forged bonds and of falsely representing himself as the agent of Commodore Vanderbilt. It appears that shortly before he went to Richmond he and his famliy—a wife and three chil re staying at the Wash- ington hotel, in Bladensburg. Nid.,of whic Mr. Ricbardeon is the proj nd yesterday the family came to Washington to purchase tickets for Kichmond. Some of the villagers deemed it important that they should be looked after, and hardiy had they arrived before it was reported at police headquarters that they had left at the hotel with thetr baegage burglars’ keys, and they were brought to headquarters until an in- vestigation could be had. Detective Coomes was detailed, and going to Mr. Richardson's found nothing in the baggage to justify the ramor. Mr. C., however, learned that while at Bladens- barg Ness had been in negotiations with Mr. B.F. Guy to purchase all his property at and near that place for $27,500, but did not have anything other than drafts, which he said he would begotiate in Kichmond. He also borrowed from Mr. Guy, and the latter, anticipating Van Ness’ return, came to this city and bar- gained to purchase the business of his brother- in-law as soon as Van Ness returned and paid the casb. On the return of Mr. Coomes the family were allowed to proceed on their journey to Richmond. ————- —-— Surr Acarnst Tus B. & O. RAILROAD POR 60 om AccouNT or THE DeaTH oF A City Kew Over sy A Locomotive —Messrs. Cook, Moore and Newman have for Mr. Larkin A. Beall entered a suit against the Baltimore and (bio railroad for $50,000 damages, aileged to have been sustained! by reason of the defend- ant on the th of July last baying, through “negligence, carelessness and mismanage ment,” run over the child of plaintitf, mashing and instantly killing it, thereby causing him to be put to ge texpense. It will be remembered that Mrs. Beal! («ince deceased) was at the time with her child in one of the Colambia (H street) cars, and in getting off it fell, and the engine passed over the child, killing it. —_——— = RePLevrn SUIT AGAINST THE DiaTEIcT Gov- BRNMENT.—Mrs. B. A. Lockwood has, for Geo. F. Rider, entered a replevin suit against the Commissioners of the District of Colambis, for unjustly detaining the iron bridges built by bim across the Washington canal, which have been taken down, part of them lying in the property ‘ard, useless, being destroyed and stolen. These Endges were at Maryland avenue, 7th, 10th, 12th and 14th streets; and he represents that he, having furnished the materials and erected them, and having received but one payment on the same, he has property in them, and prays that they be taken from defendants and deliv- ered to him. oe ‘TERMINATED FATALLY.—We regret to hear that the genticwan who was shot at the picnic instant, by John Strickland. men- tion of which was made in oar last issue, has Dennis of the Charge of Arson. Yesterday in the Criminal Court, Judge Humphreys, the trial of John P.’ Dennis | cbarged with srson in attempting to burn the dutiding occupied —— oth street, opposite the Baltimore and Potomac railroad depot, on the 5 the court aud jury.’ Mr. Harrin; for the United States, and Gen. it. f Jane last, occupied the attention of | on appeared I Henkle and ase led the following w: S.

Mr.Johneon also testified that on the day after the fire Mr. Dennis told witness he had no insurance. Witness looked through the house occupied by Mr. Dennis the very next day and Gid not think there was more than $209 worth of effects there. Liscie Petersen testified that on returning from the National Theater on the night of the alarm, she was told by her housekeeper that there wara flickering light in the window of Mr. Dennis’ coach shop. She at once directed ber servant boy to climb up and see what made the light. He reported something burning iu sbox. She atonce ran out of her front door, and foreea the door of Mr. D’s shop open. It was locked but not bolted, and the dvor yielded after three pushes. She ran in and saw a piece of a candle sbout two inches long set in a block or wood, surrounded by rs saturated in coal ofl.’ Another candle, unlit, was alongside, and the box was connected with other portions of the building by twine saturated with coal oil. A bench on the floor near by was also saturated with coai cil. The box sat at the bottom of the stairs. A coal oil can sat alongside the box. Miss Mollie Shreeve testified that she resided with Miss Petersen, and on the night in «jues- tien saw a light in the window of Dennis’ coach shop and informed Miss Petersen. She corrob- orated the statement of Miss Petersen. John S. Price testified that he went in the coach factory next day, und would not give $200 for all he saw there. Detective McElfresh testified that the morning after the discovery he went to Mr. Dennis, at the request of the latter, and was asked by him to look into the matter. Witness and Dennis went to the coach shop. While there witness picked ap & coal oil can and asked Dennis if he Enow anything about it; he said that he had never seen it before. Witness saw the box the can came in; it had a tag showing it came from Bolton & Bro., Pratt street, Baltimore. James K. Horner, bookkeeper of Bolton & Bro., testified that on the 29th of May Mr. Dennis bought « two-gallon can of coal oil; Dennis asked what was the price of coal oil, and was told twenty cents per gallon; he bought two gal- lons, and when asked where it should be seut, he said by express to Washin, . The fact of buying two gallons of coat oi! in Baltimore to be expressed to Washington attracted the atten- tion of witness. and he looked attentively at the purchaser, and is sure Mr. Dennis is the man. The court took a recess. After recess August Kicinkeim, who occupies the adjoining shop, testified that on tae night in — he heard Mr. D. as late as7 o’clock in the act of givi key to his boy. W. @. Dyer, @ driver of Adams Express com- pany, testified to having delivered the can and obtained a receipt therefor. Walter Dennis, son of the accused, testified that he received the drawback of $7 from Mr. J. R. Russell Barr, agentof the insurance com- pany R. T. Taylor gave a detailed statement of the appearance of the mises, corroborating the testimony of Detective McEifresh. Mr. McDevitt also corroborated the testimony of Messrs. McElfresh and Sargent. At noon to-day the trial was resumed, and Mr. J. Russell Barr was sworn. He testified that Dennis had a policy of insurance, which was canceled on June 7th and returned. The drawbacks were paid to Mr. D.’s son. The in- surance was in the Lycoming Company of eres for 31,200 on the personal ef- fects. By the Court:—After it was canceled the policy was returned to the home office. _ ‘The defendant objected to several portions of this testimony. The court ruled that the policy, if in exist- ence, must be produced, and it was the Juty of the prosecution to have the policy in court. Mr. Harrington said that the policy was not present, and if the court so ruled, he could go no further, as he had no case, and he would have to be content with a verdict of not guilty. The jury therefore returned a verdict of not guilty, and Mr. Dennig was therefure dis- charged. o The Hesolution Green Crowd. The —— of Kesointion Green & Company was continued last night at Legislative Hail. The Speaker's chair and desk were elevated on stand with the latter surrounded by piles of folded newspapers resembling a miniature fort- ification. On examining this pile they were as- certamed to be a paper purporting to have been started in June, “The Radical Consistent Re- publican,” the official organ of the central committee, of which A. M.Green claims to be president. The paper is mainly filled with lauda- tion of John Pope Hodnett, who tt would appear by the paper in question is-associated with Keso- lution Green. Seated around the stand were A. E. Redstone, A. Coffin, Charles Peters, Dr. T.G. Clayton, A. Watson, George Holmes, Arthur Paunell,and Sandy Lacy. Ktesolution Green made one of his windy harangues, in which he boasted of his immense influence with the District Commissioners, and The | | = | order to issue attachment. more especially with Commissioner Blow. Allen Coffin, A. E. Redstone, E. S. Atkinson, and other worthies of that ilk, addressed the “meeting,” after which it adjourned. —_.——— Firz Tats Monninc Cavsep ny Caitpres PLayine WITH Matcuys.—This morning at =:20 o'clock an alarm was turned in from box 33, 22d and reets, fire having been dis- covered issuing from asmail frame building on H street, between 22d and 23d streets, occu. ied by @ colored washerwoman named Mrs. lohnson. Engines Nos. 1 and 5 and the truck were speedily on the und and succeeded in Saving the adjoining buildings, but the house in which the tire originated was destroyed. Loss about $300. The building was insured. ‘The fire was caused by the children of Mrs. Jobneon, who were playing with matches daring the absence of their mother. Poricr Rarp.—Early this morning Sergeant Leach with Officers Block, Burns, and Crook made a descent on an alleged disorderly house kept by one Mary Mullin in Fighting Alley, and captured a nest of inmates, six in number, sliof whom were afforded an opportunity to reflect on the evil of their ways in the station house. They were disposed of by Judge Sueil this morning. — Tue Deciine or tae Picwic.—Doubtless there are such things as eminently proper pic- nics—family picnics, where no man gets drank and no woman gets insulted; but these seem to be getting scarcer every year. The facility with which the picnic ts converted into an ex- euse for ruflianisém in one sex, and frailty, to call it by no worse name in the other, is uncom. plimen' to the population of cities, Ope wonld imagine that the beauty of natare, now in full luxuriance, would woo even the de- praved heart and biunted mind to thoughts of parity and peace. Bat the contrary seems too often the case, as several of the picnics which came off on the Fourth have recently in shown, Almost every gentile landscape, which the genius of the modern excursion touches, is desecrated and befouled by the contact. The — foliage rusties with shame, and could the leaves tell all they have looked down upon we should have a —— report delivered in | wolian cadences. Ail the splendid livery of na- ture is spattered with the mora! mud the mod- ern picnic has thrown upon it. No wonder that respectable people shrink more and more from partaking in festivals of this order; that careful parents will not let their children, prudent mis. tresses their servants go to them. In namerous instances the modern picnic is only the excuse for brutality, drunkenness and license; and for this reason all who reepect themselves have lately begun todiscountenance these more than questionable amusements.— Chicago Inter- Ocean Pertine 4 Grrpte Rounp Tas Eaata.— From areport of the Austrian government on the Vienna exhibition we — Leer! —“ increase of means particulars respecting the ‘cation in various of the globe pommy Fines of totes during the last six years, wire have been T cor Sractat Taau—Ji ‘udge Wy » Lasds agt.

There ships are to be employed in cruising in distant seas, in capturing merchant ships be- longing to an enemy, and in taking part in naval engagements, in'whicn they would assist the heavier ships. For the latter purpose they are admirably adapted by their great steam power and their armament of 21-centimetre coil (200 pounders), which, being placed in the center of the sbip, may be employed in all directions while it is proceeding at fall speed. These guns would enable the Ariadne and Louise to do considerable damage at long distances even to such iron-clads as the Konig Wilhelm or the English Hercules; and the guns and steam power of the Freyaand Thusnelda will be far superior to those of the Ariadne and Louise. The heavy broadside frigates of the German fieet are to be employed in engaging the enemy at close quarters and breaking through his lines, while the turret ships, which are armed with guns of much heavier calibre, are rather to fire single shots atthe enemy’s fleet as it comes within range,or at his naval fortitications. The tar- rets and engine rooms of these ships are pro- tected by iron plates from ten to eleven inches thick, so that they may be regarded as inval- nerable, even against 400 pounders. The bansa,on the other hand, which isthe only iron-clad corvette in the fleet, has a plate of 4 inches only, 89 that it could not well be e ployed in attacking const batteries, an itis probable that this veese! will be dispatched ror service in the Indian seas. 3. ELOPING wits A MINISTER'S DAUGHTER.— John C. Kraft is pastor of the Twelfth Ward City Misston church in Newark. He has a daughter Margaret, about twenty years of age, who lived with him at his home on Charles st. A volunteer choir furnished the muste for divine tervice in the church, and John Wagenblass, always regarded ag astrict church member, acted as leader. Miss Maggie sang in the choir, and read her notes from the same book as the leader. A familiarity sprang up between them, which was the subject of much remark among the church members. Wagenblass’ wife, for he is a married man and has three children, fre- quently expostulated with him because of his attentions to Miss Kraft, but he assured her that her fears were unfounded. Miss Krattand Wagenblass were in their usual places in the choir last Sunday week, but on the Friday fol- lowing Miss Kraft suddenly disappeared from home, and eubeeyuent inquiry elicited the fact that on the same night Wagenblase also disap- peared. There is no doubt they both fled to- ether, but their route and destination are un- nown. Mrs. haba eater is In great distress in consequence of her husband's desertion. He left ber penniless, and she iz obliged to depend upon the charity of her neighbors to keep her- self and little ones from starving. The parents of the girl are stricken with grief because of their daugbter’s crime, and refuse to say any- thing about the matter. Vatvs or OnE Worp.—Charles J. Gaitean, lawyer, brought suit for $100,001 damages against James Gordon Bennett, proprietor of the Herald, for an alleged libel, impating that be wasin the habit of retaining a fee of fifty per cent. on all collections. The alleged libel is contained in a report of proceedings before Judge Donobue, which complainant declares to lefamatory and unfair and garbled. The matter came up before Judge Lawrence in the supreme court to-day, on a motion to strike out the answer as frivolous. The gistof the com- plaint is that Mr. Guiteau having collected $175 for chents in Chicago, wrote to them: “All respectable lawyers retain one-half on ool- lections; I have collected my half,” &c., &c. Mr. Guiteaucomplains that the important word “such” was om! ted; that what he wrote was “*on such collections,” showing that the collec- tion was one of — kind. Mr. Townsend replied that Mr. Bennett was not quite pro- Fared to pay $100,000 for omitting ‘‘ such,” or £25,000 a letter; and, moreover, the report was fair one; moreover, the Herald didn’t go far enough. ‘The complainant collected 8175, and he keptit all. Decision reserved.—N. Y¥. Cor respondence Philadelphia Pres Ssuamerct Decertion.—The Philadelphia Record says that in several of the large cities snd towns of Great Britain, which are accas- temed to annually furnish a considerable number of emigrants tor America, handbills have been poste ating that ‘10,000 workmen are wanted,” of various sorts, for the construc- tion of the Centenmial buildings in Philadel- phia. The object of these placards, as further appears by their language, is to induce emigra- tion to this country, under the tempting pros- pect of immediate and lucrative employment on these buildings. And tae Record adds: “We peed hardly say that all the labor of all sorts, whether skilled or presage fats ay on _ttrese tructures,can be amply furnished in Phila- feiphia, {cis clearenongh that British emigra- tion and shipping agents, interested in procur- ing parsage-money for the lines they represent, must bave been the authors of those placards.
