It only Tequimd a few minutes, however, to show that there was a large and steady selling movement, and the whole advance and more was lost by 11 o'clock. The market recovered considerable before iz o'clock, Dut at that hour the general range of the “closing. of night, and a feverish, uneasy feelitg Of expectancy prevalled. | There Was, however, nO excliement, and the dealings were apparently the result of deliberate judgment and coolness.

Boston, May the completion of the ar- Tangements for the purchase of Father ‘Taylor's bethel, on Hanover street, this city, to be used as an exciustyely Itallan church, has brought to light @curlous, if not criminal, state of affairs in con- nection with the subscriptions for and purchase ofan Ttallan church some years ago. Land and a small brick bullding ‘were bought, the intention being for the building to serve for a few years until such time as sufficient money could be Talsed to replace it with a more imposing edifice. Father Joachim, of the Franciscan Order, to which the property was assigned as pastor of the church, and during several years sums aguregating thirty ‘thousand dollars passed into his hands for the erecting of a new church. Father Joachim continually represented that the finances were in & flourishing condition, but would give no specific in- formation concerning them. ‘The parishioners sub- ! | sequently learned that there were no funds; that | even the church they then occupied had been mort- gaged by Joachim for $10,000, and that he had bor- Towed $10,000 from members of the congregation, many of them loaning him thelr all, One of the creditors finally asked Joachim for his money, and began civil sutt against hima. Joachim gave bonds, mortgaged his brary and household furatture for $4,000, and then suddenly went to Rurope. ‘Tne congregation afterwards learned that Joa- chim, on reaching Hurope, had left the priesthood, bulit’a costly residence in’Toscana, Italy, and was living in regal elegance. The church property was in the name of the Franciscan order, and the con- regation could get no satisfaction. * Father Boniface succeeded Jcachim, and ap- peared to adopt the same tactics. Considerabie money was turned over to him, but hefpaid nothing, hot even Interest on the $10,000 mortgage. Father Boniface is also cl with having adopted, when the parishioners would give no more money, an unchristian and brutal course toward them—re- fae, the last sacraments to those too poor to pay for them, and extorting considerable sums from those who could pa: A DISASTROUS FIRE.

WAS THE $5,000 DUE BILL NEGOTIABLE PAPER? ‘When the Swaim court of inquiry met this morn- ing Col. Scott, the Judge advocate, inquired whe- ther any agreement had been made between coun- sel as to whether the $5,000 due bill was to be re- soTded a8 a negotiable paper. After some discus- ston It appeared that there was a decided disagree- ment between the counsel, Mr. Calkins maintaining that it was negotiable, and Mr. Chandler that it was not lable. Gen. Sackett suggested that some lawyer be called in to testify to that point. When lawyers disagree all the court could do was to call in some other lawyer. COL MORROW'S PAT VOUCHERS. Mr. Myron M. Parker, who was summoned by the Judge advocate, was the finst witness examined. He testified to Col Morrow and Gen. McKibben coming to Bateman & Co.'s, where witness was then employed. Col. Morrow said, that having be- come invoived in debt by tion he wanted to make a loan of $5,000 OF 99, ‘and put up as securities some life Insurance policies. Wit- ness, after consulting with Mr, Bateman, informed him that they could bot lend that amount, He then offered to give pay vouchers as securities, and was told that he might get @ loan for three or four months, Col. Morrow then went out, but returned hext day and obtained $1,500, giving vouchers ag security. Witness remembered that Mr. Rateman afterwards wanted witness to tell Gen. Swatm that Morrow's pay accounts seemed to be duplicates.and wanted Swalm’s influence with Morrow to make some nt to pay them. Mr. Parker deliv- ered this message, and his recollection was that Gen. Swaim expressed surprise that the pay vouch- sven duplicates, and said he would what he col TRE BATEMAN-SWAIM COMPROMISE. ‘The witness described the meeting at his office of Mr. Baternan and Gen, Swalm, at which it was agreed to submit the differences between them, and which resulted in the due bill being surrendered by Mr. Humphrey to witness, to hold pending the arbitration. ‘The witness said that this conversation occurred over a year ago. A conversation referring to these claims had occurrea, but the witness had given no thought to it since. Upon reading the matter in the ‘hewspapers it was almost new matter to him. The details of the conversation had escaped his recollection. Gen. Swaim said something to the effect that if Col Morrow was court-martialed they would all lose their money. ‘The interview closed with Mr. Bateman’s becoming considerably excited. Witness saw Gen. Swaim immediately and told him THAT THE MORROW VOUCHERS WERE FRAUDULENT. He saw Gen. Swaim on the very day, or very near the day, when witness learned the vouchers were fraudulent. Witness rode with Mr. Humphreys to Gen. Swaim’s office when he got the due bill. Wit- ness gave the conversation with Gen. Swaim which cccurred when he got the due bill. Mr. Bateman did not say in 20 many words that the matter of the due bill was to be arbitrated. When witness spoke to Gen. Swaim about the Morrow vouchers, Gen. Swatm said he would see Morrow. Cross-examined by Mr. Calkins: Gen. Swaim ex- Pressed surprise when witness told hin that Mor- Tow had duplicated his pay accounts. Mr. T. W. Talmadge, of the French and American claims court, was then examined in regard to the Dautrey claim. THE EVIDENCE ALL IN. This closed the evidence. The court directed counsel to file printed briefs by Wednesday morn- ing next, when the arguments of counsel will be heard. Meanwhile the court is closed. Gen, Swaim and the Garfield Memor- fal Fund, In relation to the imputations contained in press dispatches from this city that Gen. Swaim had not accounted for $1,064.96 of the Garfield memorial fund, Mr. Calkins, the counsel of Gen. Swatm, made this statement to a Stax reporter to-day: “The facts briefly and generally stated are “as follows: Mr. Bateman collected from the bankers and possibly some other people for the Garfield fair the amount stated tn the New York Sun of the 15th instant, and it was left on deposit at Bateman & Co.'s bank by Gen. Swaim, who was treasurer forthe fair. The larger part Of the proceeds of the fair was deposited in another bank by Gen. Swaim and a separate account was kept by him of all pro- ceeds ofthe fair and is now so kept and can be seen at any time by any interested party. He desired to send Col Corbin, the treasurer of the army of the Cumberland, and to whom these funds must ultimately go, the larger portion of the funds arising trom the fair and realized since by the sale of articles left over, and for that purpose transferred the Bate- man'account to the other bank, where most of the money was Kept, and did so by the check referred to in the New York press stories. He then linmedi- ately sentadraft to Col. Corbin for $7,000, only keeping back a few hundred dollars to close up Uttle debts connected with the winding up of the fair and sales of articles left over. I nmke this statement personally, and it not be strictly accurate as to dates and amounts, but the main and trenchant facts are just as I have given them.” = Sicseththenod 2 Bol Brutal Robbers.

District Government Affairs, ‘THE GAS TAR IN THE RIVER. ‘The District Commissioners yesterday received a letter from Mr, Thomas Lucas, calling their atten tion to an article published in’ Tae EVENING StaR, | March 1st, about the coal tar in the river.
