The defendant ts a dry goods dealer, and it is alleged Uhat the words complained of were uttered in the house No, (0 Ewen street, where all the parties to this suis were then residing. Plait alleges that she had been married sixteen years, is the mother of five children, and that she is, aud always has been, a chaste and virtuous woman, and acted the part of a good and dutifui wife both towards ier husband and in her conscience, She further alleges that onor about the Sth of August, 1868, defendant, jn the presence of several witnesses, called her a vue name and accused her of beg mnproperly intimate with other men during her husband's absence, and that he had seen her do so, He further charged her wiih being worse than any Woman of the street, and that he could prove it and send her to the State Prison for stealing. Plaintiff scates that in conse- quence of the words uttered by the defendant her reputation has been so damaged that many of her friends refuse to apeak to her, and that the happi- ness of herself and family has been destroyed, and she therefore brings this suit to recover the sum of $5,000 as damages for the injuries alleged to bave ur sustained In consequence of the words said to have been uttered by the defendant, The answer of the defendant was a general denial.

Suit for Damages In a Stock Transaction, witiam M, Baker vs. Drake Brothers,—This action, which has been on trial for several days, was brought by plaintiff to recover damages for the sale of 500 shares of Chicago and Alton Railroad stock without reasonable or proper notice to the pee On the trial ic appeared that ptamtiff had had sev- eral stock transactions with defendants and depos- ited with them $1,200 as margin in January, 1864, on Which margin said stock was purchased. There was @ severe panic in the market in No- vember, and the stock declined so that on the Oth defendants clatmed the | margin was exhausted. They then wrote plaiutut several elters Gemanding margin and threavening to sell out the stock unless plaints responded, but deftend- ants did not specify in these communications the time when or the piace Where the stock would be sold. On the 14th of November, in the morning, one of the defendants called on Mr. Rogers, who was plaiuiiit's gent, and notified him that plaintiti’s stock would be sold if additional margin was not given. About half an hour afterwards Kogers sent ® check to defendants, but before the messenger reached their ofice they had sold the stock. Defend auts also clatmed that these transactions were made under a written contract, warning sotice of suie, which tn 1866 they Nad made with Mr. Rogers. Pigiauzt’s counsel contended and the Justice chargea the jury that the defendants were te pledgees of the stock and that the plaintiff was en- titled to reasonable notice of the time and place of the sale, aud that if they should find that the piain- turf did not have reasonabie notice of such sale he wou'd be entitled to recover the highest price of the stock intermedtate the time of saie and the trial.

Tho + creet Commissioner Interviewed—Madie son Avenue to be Clenred Immedietely. The Nineteenth Ward Citizens’ Association, of which Mr, John Foley is president, have been agitat- ing the means of communication between the upper and tower ends of the island, especially on their own side, with much success, They have ‘inter- viewed” the Mayor and induced him to present their petition to the Common Council, they called on Commodore Vanderbilt, were courteously received by him and recommended to “see William.” They accordingly went to “see William” and obtained from him the promise that tf Madison avenue were freed of’ the encumbrances the Harlem Rail- road Company would, at once, lay down weir tracks end ran the horse cars up the avenue in accordance with the provisions of the charter which the company hold. The associ- ation were given to understand that the Street Com- missioner could dtrect the removal of the interfering encumbrances, and they determined, therefore, to “interview” the Street Commissioner on the subject. At noon yesterday @ portion of the committee appointed t wait on the Street Commissioner called at tat functionary’s office and “sent 1 their card,” They were invited to waik in, and were ushered into the anteroom. Presently the good natured looking sorge W., In shining velvet coat and vest, entered the room, smuled beniguantly on the gentlemen pre- sent, Went through the ordeal of personal introduc- tion, assured them that he nad an idea of the object of their calling, and asked what be could do for them, Mr. To’ Dithen addressed Mr. SreLean; told who they were; what their grievances were; told how they had “interviewed” Commodore Vander- biltand Mc, Wiliam Vanderbilt; what they had said to these geutiemen aad what tnese genticmen had Bald to tem; told how that they represented 100,000 good peopie living above Forty-second street on the east bide, and told a great deal more begring on the subj tue mala points of which have heretolore Appeared in the HeRALD. Mr. McLean during the address stood leaning against a glass cuse at one side of the room, his right hand half inserted ta his panialoons pocket, ana with the thumb and for Singer of his left band thoughifuily twisted one par- ticular, unfortunate hair near the centre of his natty mustacne. Occasionaily he nodded approy- ingly, like wClupese igure 1 a tea store window. Mr. ‘Tweed had entered the room during the address, and after walting a few minutes he suddenly inter rupted the speaker by asking, in bis pecuiiar busi- ness-like manner, *Whatdo you want this depuri- ment to do??? Mr. TOWNSEND—Well, Mr. Vanderbilt says that he will go on and give the railroad up Madison avenue, He says he cold do so now, but there are poe nee obstructions between Forty-second street and-— Mr. TWEED—Mr. Vanderbilt says there are certain obstructions to prevent hita from going on with hisroud? Let Mr. Vanderbilt state in wrinng what he wants us to do and we'll do it. Justlet him say what he wants doue, so that tere will be no cavil, and we'll do tt, So that ends the matter, Mr. Fouey thea satd that he as president of the association liad informed Mr. Vanderbilt that they had the people up there all with them on this subject, aud that they would do certatn things in having the dirt removed and getting authority from Albany to run the raiiroad up as far‘ag— Mr. TwuEp—Well, I tell you, just .et Mr, Vander. bilt state what he means for us to do and we will do at. I want to have thetthing done, for Vin pretty Well interested in real estate in that section, Messrs. Foley and weed here got into a little argument, the former insisting that Mr. Vanderbiit meant just what he said, “that he would go right on a8 s00n as the obstructions were removed,” and the jatter reiterating the provision to “have Mr. Vanderbilt put down Wiat le wanted done, 80 that there would be nocavil and it wili bedone."’ Fi- nally, as if to end the matter, Mr, Tweed said, “Well, Vu autnorize your committee to have the dirt re- moved, and seud the biil to me and Wii pay it. You can have it done to suit yourseives and Mr. Vander- bilt and Pil pay for tt. “Of course I'll expect you to be as careiul as if you were paying for it your. selves.?? This seemed to satisfy the committee, and they were about to withdraw, when, in the course of conversation it Came out that there was a large quantry of bulidinggmaterial encumbering the ave- nue near the lowerend. Mr. Tweed said thai he would send up one of the mspectors of eucum- brances and have the butiding material removed. He then bade the gentlemen “good morning” and turned to converse with Supervisor Willman, who had also called to “interview” him, leaving Mr. McLean to show the committee out. Mr. Foicy asked when the committee would see the imspector whereupon Mr. Tweed, at che other end of the room, said hurriedly, **Now, right away;” and thea gave a ‘full stop” lerryboat ring on an ofice gong, and told the auendant who answered it to send Lue Supermtendent of Encumbrances. Presently a young tnan from the bureau of encumbrances made his appearance, and was directed by Mr. Tweed to “meet these gentlemen to-morrow morning, at eight o'clock, at the corner of Forty-second street and Madison avenue, give them fifteen minutes, Bee what building materia is in the strect aud have them removed within jorty-eight hours. ‘This assured the committee and they thereupon withdrew.

They had sacceeded In getting the stages to run up Fifth avenue to Eighty-aixth street, and had also succeeded in getting a promise from Mr. Vanderbilt to lay a railroad track immediately in Madison ay@nue. Also he had to state that at an interview with the Street Commissioner yesterday he authorized them to make such arrangements as were necessary to remove the obstructions ta Madi- son avenue between Twenty-ti(th and fwenty-sixth ‘To accomplish their objects they should elect Meyer Stern tothe State Senate, Mr. William Ht, MeCarthy to the Assombly from the Twenty-first district and Mr, Patrick McGovern to the Assembly jrom the Twentieth district, (Cheers.) With these three men ia the State Legislature they could undoubtedly procure what they wanted. Mr. MITCHELL, in @ short speech, suggested the propriety of allowing Mr, Foie, to retire from the presideucy of the association, as he was @ candidate for Supervisor, and that a uew chairman be elected in hus place to preside over an organization of the three wards instead of two, ‘The PR T suggesied that the association be Known hereafter a3 the Twelfth, Nineteenth and Twenty-second Wards Citizens’ Association.

Wood came to the door, fung it open ana stepped back to the back part of theroom, The first thing Metcalf saw was Mrs, Wood lymg on the floor near the door horribly mangied and covered with blood, He sprang over her toward Wood, and found hitn flat upon his face and exclanmiug “0, dear, O, dear,’”? Metcalf then turned to see if Mrs, Wood was dead, and while he was bending over Mra, Metcalf, who had come tn, saw Wood get up, Walk toward the bedroom door, pick up # razor and turn toward Metcalf, us they thought, with the intention of stab- bing him in the back. Metcaif quickly whirled around, when Wood raised his hand as if to cut b's own throat. Metcalf seized his hand and pulled it down, when he made another atvempt aod Metcalf pulled his hand away again. Wood then made a thrust at Meteal’s throat. Mr, Metcall’s wrist was lame, and, being an old man, felt that he could not hold him, so he sprang to the door, calling for tue men outslde to come in and help him, but they ran away. 1n@ minute he was back, but too late, for he was only in time to see Wood fall full length with his throat cut trom ear to ear. The nelgnbors then focked in, and a borrid sight was presented. Wood lay upon his face, with his throat cut to the bone and bleeding copiously, in the centre of the room was @ great pool of blood, and in front of the lounge near the door lay Mrs. Wood, a ghastly sight, with her head hacked and mangled and great gaping wounds across her face and throat, the back of her skull broken and herurm gashed and her neck broken. ‘The lounge was soaked with piood and the wall back of it bespattered with it, On the wall was some hair clotted with blood, and in her hand was also some hair, On Mrs. Wood's face, neck and head were: found eleyen wounds. ‘They were ail made with a dull, heavy axe, which was found in the room, the wretch having lite- rally chopped ber to death, In the bedroom adjoining lay the littie son of the Woods sleeping quietly; upon the floor were found bloody foot- prints and a towel upon the bed upon which Wood had wiped bis ands. {¢ is thought that he was about to kill little George when Metcalf called to him. The room where the tragedy occurred 1s an ordinary sized sitting room and Kitchen, sparsely Tarnished with a lounge, @ few chairs, a small cook Svove, 3 couple of smail tables, aad upon the walls a couple of cheap prints, Upon the mantel a ciock was ticking and a cheap looking glass hung upon the wall, Nothing in the room showed any sign of a struggle except the stove, upon which a po. and the liis were tumbled, A scanty rag carpet Was peu the Noor and this was soaked with biood. THR CAUSE OF THE CRIME. Ditrerent opinions are expressed as to the probable motive of ihe murder, but the true cause un- doubtedly was that Wood was crazed by jealousy, which worked upon bis mind, wnile it was stupefied and weakened alter a long debauch. He and his wile were never known to quarrel, she giving in to him in all matters om the exception of the sale of the roperty at Sleightburg, the deed lor which she re- Fused to sign because he had sold it while in a state of intoxication. They had s difference on this; bat it is not known that they nad any serious quarrel. Wood had been drunk for about two weeks; but during the week he had been pretty sober, but very moody and low-spirited. One Of his neighbors, James K. Wood, observed his depression and asked him on the fatal Saturday what was the matter, telling him he feared he was brooding over something which would come to no gooa, Joseph replied that nothing was the mater. On the Thuraday before he went to Newourg after his wife and chiid, and came home appearing to be on good terms with his wife, and she, a bright little body and possessed of some good looks, appeared to bein excellent spirits and smiled and chatted gaily as she walked along with him. On Saturday morning he borrowed a pen and ink of James K, Wood, and probably wrote the letter found upon him, Which gives the clue to the cause of the crime. On Saturday he also stopped at Mr. Wardell’s, e pressing great anxiety to see him immediately, say- ing he would write to bim and yet met him a few hours after and seemed to bave nothing to say to him. He toid Wardell’s wife he was going up the canal on Monday to work, but he told Mr. Hendricks that he would come to Gokey’s shipyard on that morning aud go to work. He spent a long time wriving on Saturday, and tt appears from the fetter that his mind must fave been ina very disordered state, ag the letter is disconnected, wid, unit tor publication and almost undecipherable. From what cau be deciphered of the writing It appears that he suspected his wife’s fidelity to him, and had brooded over it for along time. In the letter he says that he gave up a job on the railroad to come home and waich her and find “them” out; that he had been in Newburg to find out about her, ie says he saw her in criminal intimacy with two or three men, and that be has only been her tool to make money for her. He accuses another man of being the father of his child, and says he must have her life. Hie closes tke letter with bidding bis beloved mother jand sister goodby, and nopes God will save him, and also requests that he be buried Just as they find him with hig clothes on, From all that the netzhbors observed his suspicions were unfounded, It is not known that Wood had ever communicated his suspicions to any one, but he brooded over them in silence untii he was wroucht up to the crime of putting bis wife out of the way and ending is own life, He 14 sald to have received some anonymous letters telling him that he ‘was not the father of little George. He appears also vo have had some monevary trouble and to ilave felt the pressure of poverty, as ho complains ta his letter that he has a house full. . So far ag her neighbors know Mrs. Wood has always conducted herseli properly, and the suspicions that her husband entertained are generally thought to be baselest Hts former wife married alter hearing that he was drowned, and is living at Ellenville, where Wood and she also resided while they lived togethe, She is said to be @ very fine woman and of good family. ‘The scene of the tragedy was visited on Sunday by upwards of 2,000 people. This morning Coroner Haggerty held a final in- quest upon the remains, The verdict has not yet been rendered, A SMALL SIZED FISK AND VANDERBILT WAR, The Cedar Lawn and the Kiverside Horse Railroad Companies both have power, by their charters, to Jay tracks througn West street, Paterson, N. J. It became Known to one company that the other was to commence work yesterday morning. The result was that daylight dawned upon two sets of laborers at work on the Fame ground, supermtended by the moving spirits of both enterprises. Mr. James Crooks, of the Cedar Lawn Company, from his wide awake, sudden movements, has jong been termed the Jim Fisk of Paterson, and as 8000 8 the spectators comprehended the situation they christened Mr. Jacob Mercelis, of the Kiverside Company, a8 Commodore Vanderbilt, Jr. All the morning the rival gangs worked side by side, often- times cros#ing shovels and picks In the same exca- vation. ‘The street was crossed here and there by the lines of the two routes (which are of different gauge) until the surface bore tue appearance of & } nge gridiron, while piles of ties, stringpieccs, rails, &¢, for both corporations, almost blocked up the street, The Hob of the com- panies ran lither and thither (fisk on his gray borse) hunting up charters and masty papers tled up with pink strings, and several lawyers gathered on the spot, attracted by the savory favor ot what to them looked like @ fat job. But for whe good nature between the laborers an armed confict with suovels and picts might have beeu the result. ‘Thus juatters continued until aiernoon; @ guard remain- tng on the ground durmg the dinner hour. In the afternoon, however, the rival kings met and heid a consuitauion, whfeh resulted in @ compromise, It seems that boi parties desired a certain spot on the corner of Broadway for curves and switebes; bat 3 satisfactory arrangement was at lengin made, both wisely partially backing down so that both could be accominodaied with the coveted spot. The aMair caused considerable excitement during the tore. noon; but the Paterson folks stood by and grinned with the sauaaction that whatever the result there Was @ good prospect that the much needed horse railroad be completed at Jast by either one party or she other?
