MAYOR'S OFFICE. ‘The re-establishment of the Mayor’s Court, under the Marshal, has proved to be an immense benefit to Many*poor and unfriended people, and has saved the city large sums of money by evading expensive and protracted civil and criminal prosecutions in cases which have been decided by the Marsbat with- out expense to anybody except the maleiactora. The week just past will compare favorably with any of its predecessors for amount and variety of business disposed of. A SMART LAWYER, Under this heading, in the Hrena.p of Sunday last, was published the case of alawyer, who was charged by a young woman who had been in his employ with attempting to defraud her out a large sum of money by means of @ check on a bank from which he had overdrawn his account. He said he wouid pay the money, but not because he had been or- der to do 80 by the Marshal. He denied the right of the Marshal to dispense justice. ‘rhis characteristic of denying seems to run in the family, for early im the week a brother of the indi- vidual alluded to was summoned by Marshal Tooker to answer a complaint of having obtained money from a young man for professional services and h: ing performed no service in return therefor. ne lawyers are members of the tribe of Levy and keep their offices near the City rHall Park. ‘The com- plisinant: iy the last mentioned case stated that he jad given Mr. Levy twenty-five dollars, but that he (Mr, Levy) had done nothing for him. 'Mr. Levy in reply stated that he had never seen the complainant, to his knowledge, and had no recollection what- ever of the affair. Marshal Tooker tnen requested him to take the young ian over to his office and let him see how the matter stood, show him whether anything had ever been done and seitle the case witn him, | The lawyer demurred to this and the Marshal then’ eugene that he look over his register and report the next day at one o'clock, The lawyer then started to leave, bat sud- denly remembered all about the case ant! what he had done in the premises. He stated that he hail prone Papers and gone through certain forms; mut the young man denied that anything had been done for him. He then commenced his brother's style, and questioned the Marshal's right to summon alawyer before him. He unders the law, and was satisfied that the Marshal had no authority in the matter whatever. ‘The Marshal asked him if he ever heard of two eminent lawyers differing about the interpretation of alaw. fle told the geutioman further that he tat Sed put any interpretation he pleased on the law, but he wanted him to appear be- | fore hin the next day at one o'clock. The bn man got quite taikative and assured the Marshal in pretty impudent style that he woula’ not ap- ir. The of at the time was quite crowded, and astonishment at the forbearance of the Marshal was freely expressed. Some quietly suggested that the Marshal, instead of listening to the child of Isract and expounder of the law, should at once order him under arrest or have him ejected from the ofice. The Marshal, however, contented himself with re- Papen the a to appear the next day,. and advising the legal one to stay away if he deemed best, assuring him that he would see whether he would come or not. Tue complainant and defena- fant then left; but as the complainant did not return or appear as requested the Marshal was spared the necessity of ae @ bench warrant and a stout oilicer to bring the defendant before hit. Of complaints against the keepers of BOGUS JEWELRY SHOP= the cry ts ‘still they come.” ‘The establishment at 179 Broadway, cards and circulars of \ hich desig- nate it as being kept by “J, Colenins & Co., sole agents for the oroide watch.’’ The complaints against this infamons den have lately been quite nn- merous, and give rise to the idea that business there must be quite lively. Yesterday a complainant ap- eared at the Marshal's desk, whostaied that he had nm fieeced out of $100 in gold at Coienins’. OMicer Motrath was despatched with the com- — and he succeeded in having the money re- unded. The keepers of a suiail jewelry gambling shop at 143 Chatham street were also obliged to re- fund @ sinall amount which they had obiained from &@ stranger. EXCHANGE AND PASSENGER TICKET OFTICES are brought imto bad repute by the dojngs of roprietors of a conceru at 146 Liberty street. / few days ago an account was published the HERALD of a German who had been ficeced by the brokers at 146 when about to sail for Europe last fall, and of his return and the recovery of tis money for him. Yesterday a similar case Was presented. Mr. Joseph Sintth, of Yazoo, Miss., when avout to leave for ‘ope, Was induced to enter 146 for the purpose of procuring @ pa e ticket and baving jis money Changed into Engiish gold, for which he gave two drafts, one for $575, on Condit & Jennings, of 30 Broad street, and another for $209 50, on Mr. Swaine, of the Underwriters’ Agency, 175 Broadway. The gentlemanly shopkeepers wrapped up the change in @ belt for him, and he started for the old country. As soon as tl steamer Was on her way he exammed the money and found that he vad not more than the value of fifty doliars in haif sov- ereigns. He made kno’ his loss to the captain of the steamer and was a to return to the city on the pilot boat. Marshal Tooker, having heard the case, despatched officer Met Teo Lab: erty street to have the money matver straightened, and osticer Youry to the establishments npon whieh the drafts were made to nofify them of the transac: tion and to stop the payment. Among the MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS disposed of were several cases of complaints made by poor sewing girls and other working people agatnst their empioyers for attempting to defraud them of money justiy earned. Yesterday morning nag than $222 were recovered for such complain- ants. John Pardey, driver of express wagon No. 104, was charged with having failed to deliver fifty-four dol 1ars which he had collected. The Marsiiat obliged him to make good the amount aud heid tae patter in abeyance for farther disposition. The Marshai has heard, during the week, some 600 complaints; he has granted 311 licenses, as follows: = pawnobrokers, 17; second hand deale 4; junk shops, 56; junk caris, 68; express Wagons, 4; Vend- ers, $2; carts, 59; porters, 2; drivers, 90; intelligence office, pourding house, 1; to sell gunpowder, Junk boat, 1. He has received fines, $2,860 50, and has caused $9 for parties who had been swind) various kinds, A TRANSACTION IN REAL ESTATE. How Two Prussians Bought a Butcher Shop and How a Confiding Butcher Parted with His Shop and Money tor Brooklyn Real Katate. Two Prussians, giving their names as Albert Pri- truski and Otto Arno, aecording to afidavite made yesterday before Judge Dowling, at the Tombs, took & shrewd, if not original, course to raise some money. Calling upoo Mr. Frederick Berkelemann, at No, 81 Jackson street, who had advertised for sale his butcher shop at this place, they expressed a de- sire to purctiase the same. Mr, Pritraski, the elder of the Prussians, represeniod himself to be John Sears, of South Brovokiyn, and overed in exchange for the puwher shop and $500 the A H lcense fees and 120 to be recovered doy sharpers of | 20th inst, inclusive:— Jes of gromud, op the corner of Van Brunt and Par- “y~ yn.

Klubbed—A Sensation at ‘olico Headquarter: During the past few weeks police headquarters has been the scene of several devided sensations, but yesterday an event oceurred in the Mulberry street mansion which for a time created an immense ex- eitement. Everybody who knows anything about tne Central Oiice is aware, no doubt, that among other very commendable habits for which Superin- tendent Kennedy is particularly noted is that of early rising, and that he generally gets down to his oMce an hour or two before any of the other om@ais have taken their breakfast. This may be.a very good habit sometimes, but it certainly was not in the case of the unfortunate worm who got up 60 early one morning that the “early bird” gobbled him. up before he could crawl into his hole, and Mr. Ken- nedy’s habit was yesterday the indirect cause of his coming to sudden grief. Not that an “early bird?” attempted to swaltow him, for that would be certain death to any rara avis which Might, could, would or should stomach such a dainty morsel; but that he came to grief is a fact, the truth of which henow feels with all its painfulness. At any rate had he not arrived at headquarters as soon ‘as le did he inight,have escaped the adventure in which he be- came a yery prominent actor. It was about eight o’clock when Mr. Kennedy was seated at bis desk writing—probably taking a few historical notes as to the origin of the Celtic race, for he 1s @ wonderfui authority on national origins, black, white and otherwise. Suddenly the door of his secretary’s ofice opened, and in strode a stout man ina rather seedy garb, He walked boldly into the room and was making his way towards Mr. Ken- nedy, when officer Webb—who happened to be at the time the only guardian of the Superintendent's peace and quietude—accosted him:— “What do you want, sir??? The stranger looked at Webb as thongh he would have swallowed him whole if that were possible, and abruptly replied: / “I want to see Mr. Kennedy,’? n police business?’ NO, oh, NO; just want to speak to iim a word or two: that’s all’? “Well, you can’t see him.’ “Can't see him? But l mast. Business of tmpor- tance, sir--of very great importance.” Now, Webb has a great liking for things of impor- tance, and the announcement that the stranger was hkely to communicate something astounding to the Superintendent made lnm hesitate a hittie as to whether he would admit his interlocutor or not. But Webb is prudent withal, and so he went into Mr. Kennedy’s room and told him that @ man insisted upon seeing him. rintendent, and “King Ken “Show him in,” growled the Su apparently quite willing to meet the persistent indl- vidual halt way, he rose from bis seat and walked to the middie of the room. The stranger advanced toward him slowly, as though he Intended to be very courteous and désired to obtain some favor at the hands of the Chief, but just as he'got within arm’s distance of the Superin- tendent, with the rapidity of thought he drew forth @ club from his arm sleeve and made a terrific blow at Mr, Kennedy's head, Although not an ‘Artful Dogger” in or outside of any “ring,” the Superin- tendent dodged, and the blow that was intended to give him a very bad headache fell with a resounding whack on his shoulder. Io another mstant Webb had the stranger by the throat begging for mercy, and the Superintendent, after satisfying himself that no bones had been broken that belonged to his body, sat down to his writing. When the man was placed Jn a cell it was ascer- tained that his name was Thomas Haughton and that he had been a member or the police force, from which he was dismissed on the 3d of September, 1867. On being taken before Justice Dowling, Tombs, he was committed in default of bau. He endeavored while in court to explain how Mr. Kennedy was the worst enemy he had, and all that sort of thing, how sorry he was to have done what he had done, but the Justice was not in a humor to listen to his harangues aud so he went down to a au nm. Some people suppose that the ex-police- man only attempted to club the Superintendent from force of police hapic, Which seems to tolerate the clubbing of any citizen who may not agree with the M. P.’8 in all things, spiritual aud otherwise, ‘The anpposition, however, 1s rather an uncharitabie one. A MYSTERY CLEARED UP. ‘The Suspicious Death of Mra, Clurk—Stntes ment of Dr. Sears. Further light was yesterday thrown upon the case of Mr#, Mary Ann Dorr Clark, who recentiy died at her late residence, 344 West Fifty-first street, onder circumstances Which aroused suspicion in the mind of her sister that poison was the cause of death. Dr. Harris, of the Board of Health, reported the case to Coroner Flynn as & proper one for investigation. Deputy Coroner Shine accordingly waited upon the medical gentiemen who attended upon deceased in her last sickness, and after conversing with them became convinced that the deceased lady had re- ceived the proper me‘lical treatment ana that theve had been no irregularity or negiect of duty on the part of the doctors or any one else, and that her | death was the result of natural canses, In order to fully convince the authorities and all concerned that Mra, Clark had not been poisoned Dr. Sears submitted the following report concerning her sickness and death:— STATEMENT OF UR.

THE NAVAL ACADEMY. Couttnuation ef the Examination—Praetical Exercises in Steam Engtneering—Complete. news: of the Steam Departwent—Arrival of Menor Belte asxaporas, Maa, May 21, 1800, ‘The Board of Visitors at eleven o’clock this morn- ing resumed thetr labors, confining their attention to an oral examination of portions of the first and Sevond classes. ‘The subjects taken up were naviga- tion and philosophy in the first class and French ia the second, ‘The examination was highly satisfac- tory to every member of the board. In navigation the midshipmen of the first class received @ search- ing examination, covering the whole theory of sail ing, taking directions, latitude, longitude and every other branch of the complicated science. Having shown themselves proficient in traversing the high seas, the midshipmen displayed to the board that they were equally expert in navigating the intricate windings of philosophy. From the hard facts of nautical problems they were now brought face to face with the solid teachings of Plato and Aristotle, the erudition of Bacon and hs age of thinkers, and the incomprehensible logic and sense- Jess propositions of the piratical philosophers of to- day. he time paased in this examination was highly interesting. The ‘«middies,’? like philoso- phers, demeaned themseives in trne philosophic style. The examination of the seeoud class in French Was conducted entirely in that language. Not an American word was spoken during the exercises, all questions being asked in French and answered in the same diction, The talent for language in the different members of the class was very strik- ing. While some hesitated to refieci upon the modes of expression, others rattled oi their answers as Muently as if they were using their mother tongue. ‘There was not a member of the class, however, who could not make a respectable appearance should ne he eropnen into the midst of the French empire— Paris, for mstane This afternoon the Board of Visitors were present at the “steam bnilding” set apartior practical instruction in steam and ma- ohinery, to witness the examination of the first class | in this important braneh of a modern naval education. ‘The arrangements for pursuing tais study are of the most perfect description. Culef Engineer Thomas Williamson, in charge, has already succeeded in bringing this department into a condition of em- ciency second to no other at the academy, or prob- ably if the world, In the main hall, painted on black- boards around the walls, are drawings of all va- | riettes of marine engines and longitudinal | and transverse sections of ships, showing the ma- chinery and different portions of naval vessels of ali descriptions, Around the room are a number of sec- tonal working models of the various parts of an engine; also @ six horse power marine engine, with lass cylinder beads, valve chest ana atr pump nnets. There are ais0 several models of beam en- gines in wood, In the details of machinery a collec- tion of propellers of diferent inventions and other | Getached portions of engines has been gathered for | X the convenience of practical studies. In the adjoining room is a fall sized marine en- gine and boilers of the same pattern as used in the Swatera, set up as if in a ship, ‘The class to-day was examined under the saper- vision of Chief Eugineer Thomas Williamson and assistants, First Assistant Engineers 1. J, Allen, E. B, Laich and C. E. De Vine and Second Assistant Engineer J. C. Kafer. Upon the arrival of the Board of Visitors the midshipmen who were ready to pro- ceed were ordered by Chief Eugineer Williamson to prepare the engines for working. After an absence of some minutes one of the midshipmen returned, reporting the engines ready to move. The Chief Engineer, accompanied by the board, took position on the platform, The engines were perfectly still. The si belt was pulled to go forward. Ina few seconds the machinery commenced moving. ‘The Chief Engineer now put the class through signal used on board ship in re- gard to the movements of the engines— lo stop, to go ahead, to back, and to slacken or to increase speed. Every signal was obeyed without hesitation, much to the astonishment and satisfaction of the board. After passing four hours in testing the skill of the clags the midshipmen were alsmissed. ‘There appears to be but one thing lacking in order to make the department perfect in ali its details, and that is asuitable text book. The work at present used is by an English author, and is defective in many respects. In the details, the work treats upou English marine engines, and ia deficient tn the numerous improvements adapted by American inge- nuity and skill, It is the Intention of the Board of Visitors to recommend that the Navy Department | Make some arrangements by which a thoroughly American work, by an American author, may be adopted in place of the present book in use. There are stili several of the practical exercises unfinished, the handling of 8) fencing and man- agement of boats, The club races and base bail matches are aiso tu come off, The haste now 18 to complete the oral examinations in order to afford ample time for these. Scfor Ruiz, representative of the Cuban patriotic government, arrived here this evening and will remain several days in looking into our system of naval instruction. Unless his duties call him back to Washington he wiil attend the ball to be given at the Academy next week.

Advantage has been taken of the opportunity thus presented to push forward the oral and written examinations so as to leave a clear field next week in which to com- plete the practical studies, as well as to have a test of skill om the part of the rival boat and base ball | clubs. ‘rhis morning the Board of Visito trendert the | examinations in the unfinished branches of naviga- | tion, astronomy and political science. This afternoon the board, notwithstanding the weather, performed their usual practical exercises over an elegant dinner prepared by the intwitable Sam, chef decuisine. lv is intended to-day to make | out a list of the “‘deficients,” or those midsbipmen who have failed to pass the requisite test of pro- ficiency. This list will be submitted to the Academic Board, and each case will be considered separately. It is the usual practice to give the unfortunate mid- shipmen another chance by putting them through the entire course before a board of seven officers. If they again fail their cases are again considered by the Academic Board and it ia either recommended | to set the midshipmen back a year or their resigua- tions are requested. The action of the board Is re- | ferred to the Secretary of the Navy, who usually adopts their suggestions.
