THE LITTLE ACROBAT CASE—Zanlo Poole Returned to his Brothers.—The long-pending case of Zanlo (Wm. H) Poole, the little acrobat, was concluded iv the General Term, Saturday, as stated in THE STAR of that eay,by an order to discharge the writ of habeas corpus under which Zanlo was taken by order of Judge Wylie from his brothers— With whom he was acting in the Theater Comique—and confided to the care of Mr. Gatehell, who sued out the writ. and with whom the little lad has resided from then until pow. Judge Humphreys pronounced gm og of the court ordering the return of the stood thi to bis brothers, and it 1s under- all the justices except Judge ita He concurred. Justice Humphreys read the pinion of the court. The judges hold that as this was a proceeding under habeas cor- it didnot invoke the equity powers of court. The ebild was eight years old, and appeared to be a very precocious child, to bave been cared for and well treated, and was no evidence that he was ‘ever asked to perform a feat which he did not desire to Judge Olin saw no reason for apy court to interfere with this boy. He Was a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, and, even if he were not. courts had declined often to interfere in similar cases. Judge MacArthur, ip concurring in the jud; it, said that the chief jnstice (Cartter) would bave aleo concurred, but with @ provision that this lad should not perform again in this jurisdiction. He was satisfied that Mr. Gatehbell acted from proper motives, and be did not think costs ought to be required ofhim. It was agreed to discharge the writ Without costs. The lad was delivered to bis brothers. HORRIBLE FATE OF 4 DRUNKEN MAN— He &eis the Bladensburg Jail on Fire and is Burned to Death.—Yesterday afternoon the usually quiet villageot Bladensburg was the scene of great excitement. George W. Tut- Ue, a blacksmith, about twenty three years old, with two friends from this city, drank a = Re beer and got quite disorderiy in the villege, when Constable Cheney, with the aid of 'Squire Wallis and others, arrested bim and be was placed in the jail. About seven o'clock the building was discovered to be on fre, and, notwithstanding the efforts made {o save it, was destroyed, and Tuttle was burned to death. It is supposed that Tuttle ligbted a quantity of straw scattered over the floor with some matches, and the building, a@ frame structure, was soon in flames. Mr. W. Murray, a nephew of Mr. E. G. Wheeler, of this city, was badly burned abont the bands and face in endeavoring to rescue Tuttle, who was burned beyond recog- nition. An inquest was held last night by Daniel Barron, one of the coroners of the state, and a verdict was found that Tuttle ‘was burned to death while justly confined in the station-bouse in Bladensburg for drun- kepbess and disorderly conduct, said station- bouse being fired by wo bands.

Mr. Speake, presiding elder, stated that the churehes in this Dis- trict had been prosperous; 1,100 persons had A. Idon’t know, I tors, Lewis & Co., to repair their work, with notified the contrac- @ view of entering suit against them. Ifany money had been coming to Hewett or Lewis the amount would have been deducted to surfacing of 9th street. ANOTHER REMARKABLE ALLOWANCE BY HE BOARD OF AUDIT. Judge Buckner read the report of the ex- pert to shew that an allowance had been made the firm for work on 9th street. Witn I don’t underst how the claim was paid; certainly not through me, for I had previously disallowed it and would have put my foot on it. A letter was read, written z i Hoxie, refusing to reopen stree| claim on an lication from R. C. Hewett, which was addressed to the board of andit. rofessed conversion, and most of these had Tee aT coed ack: to be aor aa Sion Joined the cuureh. He regretted & debt on the the oth street work to be for haul, $13.00%; | churches in the district amounting in the s and asmall sum for patching. The aggre. gate of the allowance is $31,943.26. Cs If youhad known any money coming to Hewett you would have stopped it on ac- count of the re-surfacing of his work? ‘A. Yes, sir; 1 never allowed any claims for old work to be reopened. If sucti were re- opened it was without my Knowledge and coreent. IN GIVING OUT CONTRACTS for concrete work 1 judged the merits of the Gifferent patents from the status of them when I took hold as engineer. I thought the two tents I selected the best. Witness stated that the reason he did not accept Langdon’s proposition to do the surfacing of conerete pavements for nothing was on ac. count of the bad quality of bis patent pave- ment; and that ai the time the proposition was made Crawford & Hoffmanand Murdock were well alopg with the work. Pennsylva- nia avenue west, from the President’s House to Georgetown, was paved by John O. Evans. Q. Who repaired that? A. Brawford & Hoffman and Murdock; one took one side and the other the other. The total cost of repairs to pavements aggregates $200,000. The payments were made in bonds. ‘When I estimated in my report for repairs for street work, it was @ cash and not a bond estimate. Q Did you arrange for the measurement of the repair work? A. It was usually measured when a street Was completed. Such were my oraers. I gave an order that there should’ be no delay In surveying Crawford & Hoffman's work, because they were doing a very large amount of it. aggregate to $120,000, ce. which they were paying both taxes and interest, stating that Were the embarrassments removed their col- lections for benevolent objects would be greater. The collections were greater during the present than the past year. The pastors of the Washington district were passed, Rev. C. H. Mytinger being granted @ supernumerary relation with an Sppointment. be secretary read an interesting ecommu- nication from Rev. Julius Soper, missionary from the conference to Japan. The secretary ‘Was dirccted to respond, and the communi- cation was ordered to be publishedin the journal. AL ll o'clock the special order was THE CENTENNIAL SERMON, by Dr. J. A. McCauley, president of Dickin- fon College. The Buell family, before Dr. McCauley preached, sangahymn. Dr. Me Cauley prefaced his address by prayer, and then delivered @ centennial address, elo- quent, and full of patriotic ferver and grati- tude to God. Bishop Ames offered a fervent prayer. and after a song by the Buell family, the confer- ence adjourned until three o'clock. —— ee Alleged Conspiracy to Defraud the Government, HEARING IN THE CASE OF BRYANT AND CRAIG. The first case called in the Police Court this morning was that of the United States agt. George W. Bryant and William Craig, arrested Saturday evening by Detectives Miller and Cooms on a warrant sworn ont. by Mr. Horace Austin, of the Third Auditor’s office, charging them with conspiracy to de- fraua the government of 2s, and assisting to obtain the fraudulent claim for the loss ot Mules said to be of the value of $250 each, and two horses valued at $175, which defend- ants alleged to have been lost while in the service of the United States by impressment in such service, and for additional cost of transportation in. consequence of said tm- pressipent of $3,360 on or about the 6th day of August, 1864. Judge Wright went on the bond of Craiz, and he was released Saturday nignt, while Bryant was detained at police lg nag apa in default of bail. According to his state- ment he bas not received a doliar of the mo- ney allowed on the claim, and says if it was a fraudulent one he has been a fraud all his life, and ventures the assertion that no more legitimate claim has ever gone before the department. e defendants were both in the cout With a large number of their friends—Mr. NEW CONTRACTS. ¢ Buckner:—You speak iqyour report Ww contracts.

Vere the: in s rs They poston this extent: All in cash except two contracts—one for sewerage and one for other work of the same character. 1 made several cash contracts in 1874. Albert Gleason had a cash contract; he was paid in cash for the work originally contemplated. When he got through he was given work under an extension of contract, for which he was paid in bonds. The work Gleason was to do was not 8) ife work, but such as was ordered by the Commissioners from time to time. The Commissioners ordered in 1874 that no further contracts should be issued Without publie advertisement. I don’t know why they reversed the order in 1875. Os TRACTORS’ FAILURES TO REPAIR WORK. Q.

TION.—The examination as tothe arrest of Richard B. Irwin at the suit of Rufus Hatch, charged with embezzling $750,000 belongin; to the Pacific Mail comp&ny, Was continued in New York on Saturday. Several wit- nesses were examined, but no evidence of importance was adduced. Theodore John- son, former secretary of the company, was then cailed, and testified that he drew a@ set of checks at the order of Mr. Bellows, vice president of the company, to the order of the president, A. B. Stockwell. These checks were returned to the witness with orders to draw them to the order of Richard B. Irwin. He understood these checks were to pay ex- pepses of A. B. Stockwell at Washington. At that time witness was acting as treasurer pro tem. A short time after giving these checks he was instructed to fill out margin on @ check back with the name of A. B. Stockwell. It was understood that Irwin had been four or five months in Washingtoa attending in the interests of Stockwell, and getting a subsidy through Congress. In Feb- ruary, 1872, a resolution was passed by the boa: athorizing the president to emp loy counsel. Stockwell stated that he had been at a personal expense of $989,000. RUBENSTEIN’S DESPERATE INGENUITY.— As the hallman in Raymond street jail, in Brooklyn, was engaged yesterday in’ wasb- ing the prisoners’ cups, he noticed that the iron wire which forms the top of the cup had been carefully removed from that used by Rubenstein, the convicted murderer. and the tin beaten back into its place. The facts were ior papapeeoce reported to the og od who made a search of the prisoner's cell. The wire was found secreted in the mattress. It had been sharpened to a fine point at one end, and the other end was bent so as to make a convenient handle. It made a formidable ‘Weapon, and could easily have been used for self-destruction. A farther examination showed that the iron handle of the slop pail bad been removed and stowed away under some clothes in acorner of the cell. This could either have been used as an instrument to open the cell dooror as a weapon. The discovery caused considerable excitement for @ time, and Keeper Stinson at once in- creased his precautions for the prisoner's safe keeping.—[N. ¥. Tribune, 4th. Mr. MARTIN I. TOWNSEND, & member of Congress from New York and a man of wit and character, had a little scene the other day in the room of the committee on revolu- tionary pensions, of which he is a member. A few days ago he went to the room of that committee with some lady friends to show them the view of the Potomac from the win- dow, when the elerk, who is the correspon- dent of @ prominent democratic paper, or- dered him out. Mr. Townsend, whois anold man, protested that he had as much right there as the clerk, for whose appointment he had voted. The reply of the clerk was: “You may come here when the committee is io session, but not at any other time. 2 — old rascal.” Mr. Townsend reported it to the committee, and declined to act while the man is retained as clerk. The cause of the insult was Mr. Townsend’s speech on the centennial. The clerk was formerly in the employ of the state department of the south- ern confederac; Phila Press. BLACK HILLS ENTERPRISE.—The work of ning the Dakota division of the Northern fic to Bismarck has been completed, and last Friday the first Black Hills party ratsod in the vicinity of St. Paul left via that route for the Hills.
