The sleiguing is over, unless a sudden ze should succeed the Present thaw. There was a silcht fall in temperature last night, but this morning at 7 o'clock the mercury stood at one degree above freezing point and has been rising since. Most of the bursted water pipes trom the effects of the late f.eeze have been service pipes running from the streets into private premises. About twenty of these are reported dutly, and in many cases great inconventence has been caused. ‘The root of Mr. Birkhead’s carpenter shop, on L street, near 4th northwest, fell in night before last from the weight of snow upon ss, and a lot of furniture stored there was ily damaged. Yesterday forty feet or more of the sheds at the © street market tumbled down from the welght of snow.—The prop- erty owners on the line of water street, George- town, feel apprehensions of a freshet. The river ig now a vast sheet of ice from salt water to 13 source.—The ice shows no sign of giving away, although it 1s thought to besoftening under the general thaw.—Captain Edward s. Jobnson, who arrived here yesterday from Gib- son’s wharf, lower Potomac, states that last Friday night he and Capt. Nelson had great difficulty in saving their vessels and cargo of oysters. Capt.

Frank Evans, of this city, had to throw his cargo overboard. ——The roof of the livery stable on street northwest now occupted by Mr. Thomas J. Chapman gave way last night, destroying a number of fine carriages and buggies —There are no indications that much water has accu- mulated on top of the ice in the river by the rain of Tuesday po nor is there any imme- diate danger of a flood trom the upper river, as the rain which has thus far fallen is held by the large body of snow, and much more rain would be necessary to make much impression upon it. Men engaged in the lumber and fuel business along the water front in this city feel some _ap- prehenstons of a possible freshet, and are tak- recautions against disaster and loss, by moving their stocks of merchandise to places of safety. —S ILL FROM INHALING CoAL Gas.—Dr. Town- shend was called yesterday to the family of Mr. Buetler, 436 Massachusetts avenue, where he found Mrs. B. and two of her children seriously ill from the effects of inhaling coal gas from a large stove in their sleeping room, which was filled with voal and the draughts cut off. In order to keep warm, Mr. B. and wife, with their four children, had the bed3 all put into one room with this red-hot stove with no venti- lation, and in the morning all were found suffo- cating more or less from asphyxia. Surr AGaInsT THE ADAMS EXPRESS COMPANY.— ‘To-day. in Circuit Court No. 1, Judge MacAr- tbur, the case of Randolph Harrison against the Adams Express Company, action for damages, was taken up. Plaintiff claims that he was knocked down and run over by one of the Wagons of defendant on Jan. 29, 1850, injuring him by fracturing his left jaw, bratsing him, «c., for which he claims $5,000 damages; Mr. J.

The court said: The question foci by the excep- tions to the auditor’s report 1s whether in the settlement between an advanced member of the building association and the as- sociation he Is to be credited, as agatnst the ad- vance. with the additional dollar paid monthly | on each share, or that is to be deemed a lawful premium or compensation to the association for the advance. Now, In order to resolve this question, it will be necessary to go back to first principles and ascertain upon what grounds the Scheme of these associations is sanctioned by the courts. The theory of such associations 1s simply this, viz: that a number of individuals associate themselves together and tssue sto: Say of the nominal par value of $100 per share. and each Individual ts to pay one doliac per mon'h on each share that he holds until the Ace uumulates fund shall divide $200 to each sh-re. Itis optional, under the scheme of the pres- ent association, whether any individual mem- ver will continue his connection with it, b-- cause he is privileged at any time to withdraw and get repayment of the mouey he has pid i. df this were the whole seope of the s t would be very simple. But it is obvions tnat 1 ts vastly to the advantage of any member to Tecr ve his dividend of $200 in hand, instead ot having !t in prospect after a lapse of 8. 10 or 12 years or more, and the scheme really contein- lates the advancement of the shares to men. bers Of the assodation before they are due They will, naturally, be willing to pay a pre mium for this privilege. And there ts nothing in this {ntrinsically wrong, or in conflict with the law against usury. Ifa man owes me one thousand dollars, pay- able at any time hereafter, and I agree to ac- Pal &@ much less sum in hand and release the debt, I am at liberty to doit. If he finds that he can purchase his debt at a sum much short of the eect of the debt, there ts no law which forbids himto doit. I may pay or allow this premium or dscount in any one of several Ways. I may be willing, In the first place, to receive the whole amount of money and pay a premium for it in some other thing of value, or may be willing to deduct largely froin the Principal amouni and give a release upon recelving the balance, or I may agree to pay intersst upon the money I receive up to the time it would become due to me absolutely, or I may be willing to deduct some amount from the principal of the debt due me aud besides that to pay Interest up to the time that 1t would become due to me. The authorities have gone extremely far in the direction of holding that when the prin- cipal sum adranced 1s not to be repaid, interest may be paldat much higher than the legal rate without infringing the law against usury. Thus, where one gave £566 to have annualiy £130 for and during twenty-three years, the detendant had accepted £120 for the first vear, and upon information against him in the Ktog’s Bench for usuary, it was held not usury. Finch’s case 1 and 121, Again, where one gave £100 for annuity of £20 per anpum it was heldno usury. De Goad’s case Triv., 19 Ellz., in the Exchequer. So, in Fuller's case, Mick., 29 Eulz.,4 Leon., 203, ty where on¢ gave £300 to. another for an anol Of £50, assured to him for one hundred years, if he. his wife and four children should so long live, it was held not be within the statute of usury. So, where the defendant had given platntifr £100, and for that he granted the defendant -S22-for eight years annually, as a rent charge, and after that for two years more, if three men liveso long, it was held that if the original contract was for a rent charge it was not usury. Simond vs. Cockerill, No. 151. See these and other cases In Comyn on usury, 43 et seq. Now there are three schemes, as I gather from the English theory, of these transactions according to which the premium for these ad- vances were paid. Qne 1s called tne gross i as when a man receives less than the $200 to be paid to him ultimately, but pays interest on that amount annually, which ts one dollar a Month pershare. That is to say he pays legal interest on the whole amount and receives less. Another ts called the net plan, as when a party Tecelves less than the $200 and pays interest on the amount which he receives. And another 13 cailed the installment plan, as where he re- ceives the whole $200 and pays the monthly Installment of interest, and also an installment, of the agreed premiums so that in the course of time he wii bave paid up the whole interest and premium. 1 am not discussing the legality of these asso- Claticns as an original question, but am simply endeavoring to get at the grounds upon which they have been sustained. she principal point to which I direct these eb @rks is, that the additional payment of #1 per mosth On the advance ts just as mucha pert of the premtum as the percentage bid and /eserved upon the principai sum. AD important feature In this scheme Is that if a party desires to settle advances, as it is expressed tn article 13 of the constitutton of this association, he may cance} the transaction, in which case he shall be charged with certain amounts and credited with certain amounts. He may cancel the whole of the advances in other words, and put himself and the associa- ton where they were hefore. Now, I tind that by the English statutes regulating buliding associations, if a party has paid premiums for advances, and he proposes a settlement of ad- vances before the time runs out, it is enacted that & proportionate part of that premium shall be refunded to him. In this case, if a party pays the monthly instalments’ of say £2 per month on each sbare until the asso. ciation winds up its affairs. hé will have paid the whole of tne premium bid for the advance, but until he has paid beyond the amount he has actually received he has paid none of that part of the premium which consists of the | ao centage reserved. He has not yet paid it into the association and consequently they have ot received it from him. He has pald no part of the premium which constitutes the reserved Percentage—the only thing that ne has pald as oo is this monthly instalment of one jollar additional per share. In fact the only part of that which can be properly considerea & premium is the excess over legal interest for the use of the money. Now, if this contract is legal in its incepticn; that is, if a man may contract to pay these monthly instalments, to continue until the end of the association, which I assume to be settled by this court in general term, I am unable to see why he may not contract that if he cnose to settle advances he may pay 2 rateable propor- tion of that premium up to the time when the advance Is settled; and I do not see why a con- tract to pay this addiuonal doliar per month up tothe time of that settlement is not sucha contract to pay a rateable part of the premium during the Ume for which he has the use of that. money or advance. It may be said that he simply had the use of the money, and can only be compelled to pay interest. Itseems to me that he has had more than that. Heha3 had the privilege all the time he has had the money to treat it as absolutely his, and to continue his monthly payments only till the association winds up its affairs. He has all the time had the use of this money before he was entitled to it, so thet he has had something more than the use of the money for the time intervening between the advancas and the time of the settlement of the advances. Then tf he could contract to pay legal interest for the use of the money, and could contract also for the additional premium with the special privilege attached to this advance, I do not see that there ig anything illegal if at the time of the settlement he s! be charged with the ad- ditional dollar per month as the rateable pro- | chara of the premium which he was to pay. e language of article 13 is: ‘Any stockholder desiring to settle advances shall ce charged with the actual amount advanced to him, and with all unpaid dues, fines, insurance, taxes and losses, and credited with the amount of dues paid upon the stock upon which such ad- vance has been made, her with the inter- est accrued, at the rate of 10 per cent. per an- num, On the amount of dues paid in on said stock, prior to the date on which such purchase was made, and upon settling the balance he shall be entitled toa deed of release.” It was argued that the term ‘‘dues” -tn this article, which are to be credited, embrace both the original monthly contribution and the addi- tonal dollar per mooth upon the advance. ‘Now, if that isthe effect of this language, the result would be that a party would simply be charged with the advances without any inter- est, and credited with what he had paid in. He would have had the use of the money for nothing. 1 do not see that that could have been intent of this contract. The only proper construction is that the additional ollar per month was a subsutute for premium and interest, aud a sbowd not be credited with that as against Gd of the advance. In other words, a dollar per month was a premium for Uhe enjoyment of this advance with the special advantage attached to it, instead of interest on the sum advanced. A great deat of hardship ts said to result from this provision, but I rather voee eat belief Seater cad improv- jent contracts to pay a jum. Now this leads me to the conclusion that the contract requires the party to be charged with the original advance, expenses, &,, in con- formity with the 13th article, and not to be credited as them with tional dollar per month. ‘The auditor's rt, which States the account between the on this principle, is Late sal ved.

Sullivan paid the extreme penalty of The law in Moyamensing jal! today. Haye, crime was the murder of his wife, Bridget 1. Hayes, whom he killed oa the moraing of March 234 last. The couple bad numerous Quarrels and disputes over tne propercy of Mrs. Hayes’ Ciildrea by her first husband, and bad separated three weeks before tne woman's murder. On the Cae of the fatal day, the tan bougut a pistol, had it loaded and went to his wife’s home, where he found her standing at the wash-tub. He immediately shot her twice and then attempted suicide by shooting himself. Recovering from his seif-Inflicted in- juries, Hayes was placed on trial in the Oyer and Terminer court, on Jane 21st last. U L shot herself, but In court he adinitied nis guilt, but contended that for an instant his mind = was unbalanced, and ja — that moment the deed was committed. The trial closed June 25th wita a Verdict of gulity. On July 17th Hayes was sen- tenced to death, and agata adinitted having committed the crime, atuibuting the cause Ww. domestic difticuites with his wife. Atter the death warrant was signed, he madea similar statement to hig spiritual adviser. Tae usadl jotion for a Lew trial was made after Hayes’ conviction, but falied, and no furthe mt Was made to alter the judginent of the court until an unsuccessful effort yesterday for a re- spite. aThe crime for which-Sullivaa was executed Was the murder of vosephine S.

Late on the night of the’ murder, Sullivan returued home and immediately retired to his Tocm where his mistress Was asleep. He there renewed bis charges of infidelity. Saortiy atterwards the report of a pistol was heard.aud Sullivan called to the servant for assistance, saying Josephine had shot herself. r Went tothe room and found the woman tn a dying condition, but able to charge Sulilvan With having shot her, and he was arrested and, aiter the inquest, committed for trial. Tae trial took place during the summer of 1579, and resulted in a verdict of murder tn the first de- gree. Sullivan was sentenced to death Novem- ber 1, 1879, but a writ of error was taken to te supreme Court. A Lew trial, however, was re- fused, aud an appitcation for a commutation of the sentence to iife imprisonment meeung a like fate. Une prisoner was again served with the Geath warrant. The last effort for a re- spite was made yesterday, but unsuccessfully, Both men passed a calm though almost sleepless night. The priests arrived at tbe prison early. and religious exercises were kept ‘up until the Ume for thelr execution. At 10:25 a.m. Sullivan was brought down from his cell on the upper tler to the door of Hayes’ cell on the ground floor, and immediately afterward ihe procession formed and proceeded to tne allows, bear the end of the same corridor. th men walked firunly, Hayes being accom- atte by Rev, Fathers Daiy and Masterson, Sullivan followed, accompanied by Rev. Father Kent. On the scafiold both men knelt and prayed,the priests Kneeling betsveen them, and when they arose Hayes laid aside the beads upon which he had been telling his prayers, and attempted to address those present, speak- ing In @ wild and incoherent manner. ‘Two of the priests reasored with him, and endeavored to persuade him not to speak, but he continued in Spite of remonstrances to talk in a rambling Way. He Seems auxious to narrate the Listocy of his married iUfe, but at last yielded, as he sald himself, to tbe request of bis pastor, at the same Ume protesting that he was not afraid of the gallows. Meanwhile Sulitvan stood calmly, kiseloy his crucitix and listening to the exhor- tations of the third priest. Finaliy Mayes cx- pressed his hope for forgiveness, forgiving all imself; the priests retired to the step steps of the gallows, where they k1 ; the nooses were adjusted. abd at 10:55, while the priests were Teciting the De Proivadis, the drop fell. Both bedies received a tall of four feet. Hayes peared todle withouta strugg and ahalf minutes the beating of his pulse could not be feit, although his heart beat tor several minutes.
