A brief discussion was indulged in ast» hear- ing the two motions, and then a pleasant ex- change of courtesies and SHAKING HANDS OVER THE WORDY CHAS took place Mr. Riddle addressed the court, and said: “*Your Honor: Inghe early siage of the tria! when a verdict has just been returned, pro- ceedings transpired to which I wish briefly t» refer. The Commissioners of this Distriet Were each fined #100 for contempt of this court. Now, there was a ulation made between connsel and clients for thelr government and guidance under certain contingencies. It was not addressed tothe court: not intended for its eye; made outside the court, and never to be introduced here, but came in incide: Your honor requested its reading, whic! done. and then directed it to be filed, whi was al:o done. The Commissioners in siz that paper intended no disrespect to your honor, and rested under the belief thai th: agreement was merely a private on, i ch clients and attorneys alone were and never was fo find its way into That being the fact. Lask then that y yeeonsider your action as regards tleme! upon Mr. Riddle. your remarks are and gratifying to the court, ast owe.” —Then I wi pta ble he} u hdraw that, your Court —* Very well; nd fe Lior that where would in thing bas b trial t ing the prog f contempt, and I shall laced in i ot Taw ean observed, J will not impose a fine upon any one.

It is against my faith to do so. In this case I feel conscious that eee has been done according to the rules of law.” Co!. Cook said that the paper which was re- garded as in contempt was thought to be proper at the time. 11 was drawn without in- tention to reflect upon the court, and_not for the observation of the court. If he had any words of contemy* *o utter, he should speak them in the sight of the court and within its hearing. There was no disrespect intended, so far as he was concerned. The Court.—* Your conduct of the case was Satisfactoiy that nothing of the kind was in- tended.

One pleasing novelty in_the performance wiil be the singing of some twenty-eight boys from the Maryland Schvol of Rel Coe noes elighting all who heard them. They possess remarka. bie voices, and sing with such harmony and accord that those who had the pleasure of hearing them were astonished at their pro- Eciency. Their singing of such hymns ay “ Pull for the Shore,” “In the Sweet Bye and Bye,” Se., is plaintive and melodious, while their rollicking plantation melodies are genu ine, aud being “to the manner born,” these youngsters excell by far the similar efforts of it ‘tists. ‘Such ehure! * peopie aay theatrical performances can cruples have no S in witnessing this play, abonndi it does in religious prece st sentiment. with some of the most musica hs sung with feeling by these youthfu isters.

Nothing more was nm of him up to the hour of elo: he store, at (i o’elock—anis abseace not being noticed until Mr. Droop, in postin his books, missed the bank book. ‘Mr. Metz roit at once repaired to Gerlach’s lodvings, and found that he bad not been at home. He r ported the facts to police headquarters. The ease was given to detectives McDevitt and Voss to work up. They started out about i) o'clock Thursday night, and between 3 and 4 o’clock yesterday ‘morning found Gerlach asieep in bed at house No. 103 Pennsylvania avenue, and teok him into custody. Hisstate- ment is that on his way to the bank he stopped several times, in different places, and when he arrived at the bank he missed the package of money, and, feeling frightened and ashamed, he could not go back to the store. Mr. Metze- rott, bellevivg his story to be true, declined to pew him and he was set at liberty. The jouse where Gerlach was found is a meeting place of a society of which he is the secretary.
