THE JOCKEY CLUB JUBILEE. Ladies’ Day at Jerome Park. FOUR MAGNIFICENT RACES. A More Dashing Company and Finer Display than Ever. The Steeplechase Won by Bohannon, the Westchester Cup by Helmbold, the Selling Race by Climax, and the Mile and Three-quarter Heats by Sanford. People, Scenes and Incidents of the Occasion. And now come forth from the mists of the morn- ‘ng the promised delights of the “Iudles’ Day,” “The American Jockey Club”! and “Jerome Park,” ‘Words of magic meaning and most enchanting in- Huence vo all lovers of genuine manly sport in America! How they were heard echoing in mascu- ine or feminine accents, in different intonations, wometimes delicately chiming together from behind the rustling curtains of Dreamland yesterday morn- ing! And how many young hearts beat hign with the anticipation of another ambrosial period of rural Pleasure! But that ruthless old Pagan with the ‘watering pot, whom we shall some day expel from is ‘‘bad eminence” in the zodiac, had been fleecing bis brother Neptune, and, unable to resist what the half opened casements of New York disclosed to him, had begun to shower down his aqueous booty ‘upon the lovely faces there revealed, mistaking them for pew blown roses, pansies and liites, In a word, there was a rain in this part of the repub- ic, and rain it did most royally, ia utter Gettance of the constitution of our fathers, and to the great disgust of our mother’s, ay, and of all our little sisters, whom we love so fondly. But our big brothers, who had been to the wars, and nad come back again, drew on their double-solea boots and swore—by all that was bright ana beautiful of Satur- day's high festival that they—like the man whom Noah left out of the ark—that they didn’t think it was going to be much of a shower, after all. Nor was it in the sequel; for the supply of ‘weather? which tne HERALD had engaged, as readers may remomber, at a proper time last week, had not been by any means ex- hausted. Even Jerome Park, rapil as that institu. tion is, couid not entirely “run’’ it out. Leaving the lower land of galoshes, waterproofs—some not so clearly proven—boots and dilapidated umbrellas at reasonable hour, as (he true believers pressed up- ward along the avenues to Harlem river, the sprin- kling of that reprobate Aquarius, who evidently loves to linger down town where there are partl-colorea duds to mingle yth his own, began to relax his ex- értions, and by eleven o'clock THE ROAD Opened ont smooth and clear, with the dust well subdued and the foliage of the trees on either side ‘80 lustrous from the morning dews that it seemed to have been done by the handsof the Dryads in ‘weir own peculiar ever-living, sheeny waxwork, Everybody Sfid hla edualis—Verman, American, English, Trish and “the rest of mankind”—had read Of Batarday's exploits, and wished that they too haa been in the Arcadia of the Jerome Park. From wishing they had come to practical effort, ‘and before noon yesterday every road lead- Yng to that grand resort was alive with vehicles, from the jow-backed car to the fatutinal hack, from the sulky and tandem to the open coach ‘With 10s “only” four inside and footman on the box, propelled by teams two, fonr and even six in hand, that whisked their tails with equine Jollity. For the honor of New York, the cosmopolitan city and soon to be the centre of the world in everything, the ais. play was better than an international exhibition. ‘The most morose of foreign grumblers could not hold away his heart from the ladies, while he kept at least one eye on the horses, Quilp, who has grown weaithy and is now ‘on a tour in this “‘blarsted” country, grew rubicund ‘with unfeigned pleasure, and Snarleyow, the foreign journalist, the delight of whose existence has hith- erto been to snap at somebody or something every day, felt his liver improve and his cheek grow clearer with the milk of human kindness, as he basked in the bright eyes and heard the mersy langhter and gazed at the blooming gardens that Jined the way on either sidé @s he bowled along in the fine old “ten-mile-au-hour” style, behind quad- rupeds that would have snorted at all the winning ‘posts of the Olympic games. When brave out Diedrich Knickerbocker and Wouter Van Twiller were bothering their heads avout the gable-ends and cabbage patches of what they called Nieuw Amsterdam tn the broad-breeched «ay, they never dreamed, even in their solid visions of a fine Dutch Paradise, of the enchantments that were to spread, long before thelr names dted out, for miles and miles beyond the classic shores of Harlem river, away into that modern American “land flowing With milk and honey” now known as Westchester. And what a sight itis, as you spank along from Belt Seay Heights, toward tie embosoming groves of Fordham. Reach after reach of meadows, greener than the slopes that are reflected in the water of Kil- Jarney; knoll upon knoll, crested with trees and shrubbery, vocal with the birds of summer and varie- gated with its blossoms; the trimmed and tutored walks, drives and Jocages of our unrivalled Central Park upon the right; glimpses of the lordly Hudson and its walls of gray-brown rock, nodding with forest plumes upon the left, and on every side, a3 you passed farther, rustic homes of changefu architecture, from the Italian wottage to the French chateau—and flowers and still biossoming fruit trees, with the giistening diamonds of the rain yet trembling in them—the faces of blue- eyed children peeping out at “every coigne of van- tage.”’—what more could voyager ask for, in the dairy bark of life, with Youth at the prow and pleasure at the helm? The improvements that the last few years have in. troduced are wouderful in this lovely region of our suburbs, and 1870, also, 1s bringing in many more elements that will assimilate the vicinity of New York city on the mainiand to those delicious surroundings that, as yet, render Paris the proverb of tourists, Could we pause longer to-day in the work immediately before us it would be a grateful task to enumerate the beautiful villas and gardens that adorn this neighborhood and gather fresh at- tractions with each day of the advancing season. Suffice it to add that the succession of them 1s a con- vincing proof that in taste, st igen and weaith, the merchant princes take thelr rank with those who once inspired the Ausonian poets with the beauty of their homes on the historic banks of the Brenta and with the princes and artists who have Torever vendered famous the environs of Nice and the shores of Lake Como and the Lago Maggiore. But in addition to the pecullar pleasures of the classic day and the times that succeeded be it re- membered that we have here all the modern im- provements, We cannot deny the ancients their meed of congratulation, but we have many a thing ‘that they never knew. Folks were happy, as days long, Tn the Old areadian times ne When life seemed only a dance and song, of all sweet clim ws bigger, and, years have rolled, We've quite forgotten the Golden Age, And come to the Age of Gold, Once upon a time, in that pastoral day, Dwellers in huts and fo marble balls, From shepber Jess up to que Cared little for bonnets and leas for 8 And nothing for crinoline, But now simplicity's not the rage, And it’s funny to think how col ‘The dress they wore in the Golden Age Would seem in the Age of Gold.

Some ‘went it heavy” on the first race, open as the says to all ages, and we should judge, from what we saw, to all gizes, nationalities and complexions jkewise, Some saw bottom in “the Westchester Cup” and @ good many sold themselves to the third or “gel race.” Nor were the mile heats that were to close the day without o poet deal of cool, considerate betting. The Aladdin of the pool got off new lamps for old at a surprising rate, and the counting up was as good asa spell in the virtuous Gold Room that illuminates the mM of Wall street. Meanwhile, our monstrous glee “ yaliey a niuside, ana thel r good 01 ‘on valley an \de, and their humored show of ivory would nave been a spectacie in Zanzibar. too, began to Ml on ‘every caloony overlooking th Ol con, ie Tace track, and the pageant of the opening aay was paeee with a, ware Gashing Eagan withstanding reaten' pearance heavens, which continued to Beer like defeated adine, ith roseate edgings; ry in pure white, with locks of sheeny flaxen; Evange- lines with tresses “ike imprisoned sunbeams;” dark- eyed, languishing Virginias, whose every motion air seem Mey oop and brilliant as the » ive ladies “of Shalott,” who had for on earth that would not have Witchery. Here came a noble, Juno- like creature of most distinguished name and mien, with a step like the fawn’s ahd the eyes of a azelle, and there leaned from tne balcony one of £rin’s fairlest daughters, whose half joyous, half melan- choly mood recelied the music which a matchless native bard of her own green isle drew from the “dear harp of his country” — So oft hast thou echoed the decp sigh of sadness, ‘hat e'en to Why anirths 1 will steal feds thee atl The number of lovely children of both sexes was especially charming. ‘Their gay dresses and melo- dious voices chimed in with the long drawn note of the forest warbler above the greensward at the rear of the club house, where they played like elfin peo- ple betore the rain came on.

But the laughing crowd chiefly around GOVERNOR HOFFMAN, whose residence in the mansion at Albany has evi- dently benefited both health and spirits, while in tone, manner and kindly greeting his Excel- lency reveals his wonted charm of dignified port and affable, manly presence. On such an occasion and amid such scenes nothing of any other than the happiest and kindliest thonghts could fit across the mind of lady or gen- Ueman, and the attentions offered to our Governor on all sides were unrestrained. It 1s needless almost to add that under the admira- ble superintendence of the apparently omnipresent and certainly all accomplished Mr. Theodore Moss, and the careful catering of Mr. Frederick Berger, whose services have been so long appreciated by the club, the grand saloons for relaxation and refreshment were enjoyable beyond meas. ure. Dainty viands and delicious vintages, heat and ready service, and a total absence of the usual pandemontan uproar and Babylonian jargon of the ordinary restaurant, even in some aristocratic quarters, put every guest in royal mood. The viands were as flowers and the wines as floating rfumes—and who cared in such an hour for wan- ering winds or beating rains’? And, then, at Jast the homeward dash shut in be. neath the friendliest shelter, with France and G many and the fragrant breath of the West In- dies in their most enchanting personations—the country green fleeting into city and the city presently a field of artificial stars as the twilight decpened and the streets blazed up with lights on either side—sucn a well contested day—such goodly company and such atmbrosiat recollections are in the present and for all the future an unpurchaseabie joy— Like Dian’s kise, unasked, unsought, It gives itself and is not bought. The Racing. When the racing began the track was in very fine order for running, and continued so until the jast race was about commencing, when the rain came down and made tt rather heavy. The running in ali the races was satisfactory; in some of them highly exciting, particularly in the steeple chase and tne race for the Westchester cup. There were four events on the programme—the first the steeple chase, the second the race for the Westchester Cup, the third a selling race, the distance a mile and five furlongs, and a heat race of a mile and three-quarters, with the distance sixty yards. Four horses started in the steeple chase. These were Captain Eiwees’ bay geld- ing Bohannon, Mr. McDantel’s bay horse Oysterman, Jr.; Mr. Todd’s bay horse W. Ff. Bacon, and Lloyd & Alloway’s bay horse Viley. The race was remark- ably well contested from beginning to end by the three first named, while the latter was beaten from the first jump, aud was a quarter of a mile behind at the finish. Bohannon won a@ capital race bya short length after a very animated struggle with Oysterman, Jr, the superior riding of Captain Elwees carrying him through to victory. W. F, Bacon was a good third, and might have been better off but for a fall at the water jump, where he fell as he landed and went down on his belly. His rider, however, kept on his back, and lifting the horse up quickly, continued the race and soon afterwards overtook the others. But the horse must have been considerably wrenched by the fall, and probably that operated against him on the home run. - ‘The race for the Westchester Cup did not come u to the expectations of the spectutors, as the result Proved there was but one good race horse in the fleld, This was Mr. Babcock’s chestnut horse Helm- bold, He beat the others when and where he pleased. Great hopes had been entertained Uiat Mr. Dosweli’s brown horse Abdel Kader Would prove the winner of the cup, a3 he ran a four mile dash at Saratoga last summer in excellent time, and gave people the impression that he was not ouly. @ fast horse but @ sticker. His race yesterda} however, exhibited a great falling off from bis pre’ ous performances, and his backers fell heavily in con- sequence, Helmbold was the favorite over any named horse, aud in some instances he was hacked even against the field, Glenelg, Vespucius and Piougman were thought little off In the betting, but Vespucius proved himself the next best horse to Helmbold in the race. The winner is undoubtedly a frst class race horge at any distance, and will be a favorite inany field he may start in tor the future. There is not a horse in this vicinity that can beat him, The selling race brought R. W. Walden's brown horse Climax, John O*Donnell’s brown horse R. B. unolly, M. A. Litteli’s chestnut colt Bldorado, T. » Dogwell’s bay horse Edenton and p, R, Dayis’ bay mare Scotia to the post.

She is of form, but there does not appear to be enough of her for a successful campaigner. ‘The sports of the day closed with a heat race at @ mile and three-quarters, tn which there were three candidates for fame anil the purse, ‘These were Mr. Eckerson’s chestnut horse Sanford, Mr. Crouse’s bay mare Regards and Leonard W. Jerome's bay horse Glengary. ‘They had two heats, both being won by Sanford. The mare did not seem to run for the fret heat, but on the second she made # capital race with Saniord, and he had all he could do to beat her & neck atthe finish, The race was run in the raiu, and the track got very heavy before the end, yet the little mare struggled gamely through it and pulled Up not a8 much distressed as the winner was, ‘The following are the details of the racing as it came off:— THE FIRST RACE, A STEELE Cuask—A handicap for all ages; pre- mium $1,000; $250 to owner of second horse.

The horses then ran out of the field and jumped a bank into the regu- lar race track, and then coursed back to the starting lace, running in @ southerly «direction. They jumped a hurdle at the foot of the bluff, Bohannon ing the first over, W. F.

They then wheeled around towards the three-quarter poie, and there they had another fence and ditch to leap, and they went over taem clean and clear. The horses now turned in @ northerly direction, and, coming up towards the grand stand, in the fleld, between the two race courses, directly in front of the grand stand and club house, they met a hedge wall and @ pond of water twelve feet in width, with a fountain playing in the centre.

Bohannon was in front, pressed hard by Oysterman, Jr.;W. F, Bacon third, with Viley fourth, fully a quarter of a mile behind. This hurdle ‘Was passed over, and the race became intensely ex- citing as the horses ran into the homestretch. There was only one jump more, tue hurdle at the lower end of the grand stand, and as the horses came up to take it Ube spectators became wild with excite- ment, They shouted, waved handkerchiefs, hats, canes, jumped over the seats and acted gene- rally in the most indicrous manner, performing all kinds of antics, unuil the horses made the jump and were running towards the stand. As they came up to the hurdle there was little difference be- tween Oysterman, Jr., and Bohannon, only that the latter was taking the whip without getting away from it, Bohannon was 1n the air first and lande the quickest, yet it was a very close contest. W. F. Bacon had given way before Coming to the last hur- die. The race from there to the stand was exciting in the extreme, but Uaptain Elwees forced his horse along splendialy and won the race by @ short length. Oysterman, Jr., ran @ caplial race andso did W.

Proposed Art and Science Museum for All NationsOutline of the Scheme—Mecting at Professor Doremus’ Last Night. A private meeting, convened by circular, was held at the house of Professor Doremus, 70 Union place, last might, for the purpose of considering proposals for the establishment in New York of an Art and Sclence Muscum, of a permanent character, for the exhibition of works of science and art, A number of letters were received from prominent gentlemen of the city approving of the scheme, and also from the representatives of foreign governments volunteering their practical aid tn the development of the proposal. It was accided to issue the proposal in a printed form, 80 as to give the scheme a wider ptblicity. From the Influential support that the scheme has ready received there is no doubt of its ultimate suc- cess, and that in New York will very shortly be formed the nucleus of a museum worthy of the great continent of America. Dr. G, Naphegyl read a paper embodying. the de- tails of this proposal, from which we select the fol- jowing principal characteristics :— After obiaining a charter of tucorporation it is pro- posed to make & solicitation, in the name of the society, to all tne resident and accredited foreign Ministers at Washington, #0 that through them each of the val! overnments may forward objects of interest.

The alr of the Central Police Office at an early hour yesterday morning was impregnated with rumors of an affray in the Michael Norton Assocta- tion club room, No. 287 Hudson street, which, it was alleged, occurred on Saturday night, the principals being Senator Michael Nor- ton and ex-Alderman John Murray. ‘The HERALD reporter devoted several hours to un- raveling the cage, as did also the captain of the pre- cinct, but as the principals were out of the city no reliable details could be obtained.

The Life History of New York's Latest ‘‘Anony- ma”—The “Daughter of Lola Montez'’—The Bavarian Nun and the New York Lectur- oss—A Strange and Eventful Career. ‘The world is full of curiosities, While progress is making gigantic strides knaves and idiots jump into the van and are whirled along. Old dodges tried a century ago are successfully repeated to-day, and 1t {8 quite erratic to suppose that the food for tragedies, romances and the various works of fiction have been devoured by greedy writers, The fact 1s that at the present time there is more sterling stnif to delight the fancy, more genuine material to enchant the Imagination, thanjeither Scott, Fielding or Smollett ever dreamed of. But a good, rattling, torchlight, door-panel, heavy-coated novet ts nothing without the mystery; and in the case about to be presented ambitious youths will have something to gloat upon, as the facts will furnish them with sumMcient fortitude to tear their hair, burn their midnight lamps, write until their faces grow blue and get up a trotting match to then earest publisher. And yet, notwithstanding the ridiculous features which surround it, there is some- thing sad in its contemplation and something that must enlist the heartiest sympathy of the commu- nity. Indeed, when the true statement of the mys- tery becomes known, the poor victim cannot fail to evoke a deep and general commiseration. AND THE PRINCESS WAS FAIR TO SEE. For the past few days the public have been rather enlivened by the appearance upon the world’s stage ofa young lady purporting to be the daughter of Lola Montez, a name to which there was once at- tached acharm, Graced by all the accomplishments that could adorn a woman, elegant in her person, and possessing a refined and sparkling intellect, the young lady, under the maternal auspices of the Woman's Suffrage clique, made her début at Steinway Hall on Thursday evening last. The subject of her lecture was the “equality of women” and ‘the wrongs of her distinguished mother Lola Montez.” Among the audience was the usual congregation of plump and lanky advocates of the cause, a number of long haired enthusiasts and a slim gathering of curiosity seekers, bent no doubt im comparing the appearance of the débutante with that of the departed Montez Whose name she bore. More than that, she was introduced as no less a personage than ‘the Princess: Editha, Cane of King Leopold and the Countess of Landsfeldt.” The sound of royalty sent a thrill thro tne assemblage, and, asif by magic, views of splendid castles, vurreted walls, the drawbridge and den cog knights in glittering arms, cavaliers with flowing hair and waving plumes, fair dames on chargers mounted ready forthe chase, huntamen and brillant cavalcades, passed in panoramte view before the spectacled vision of the Paproeny throng. Her Royal Highness appeared. It was a sorry sight. She failea, Since the days of the Broadway showman there has not been such a “sell.” Her royal eye flashed and wandered and no athlete ever exerted bimsell to such a degree to gratify his audi- ence with a finished performance of the club exer- cise, Her remarks were wild and incoherent, her gesticuiation furious and her general deportment bordering on the insane. The women of the “Assoclation” frowned and for the time their cause was a laughing stock. After several spasmodic prances the robust descendant of kings retired, ANNE talked pencnally Epon nothing and unreasonably upon a thousand topics. What a lacing she may have received from the free female subjects of America in the ante room does not appear, but certain it is that nota single bou- guet ras presented her. And go the poor princess atied, GET THEE TO A CONVENT. Who was the Princeas’ Ah! there was the rub. It was evident to most people that the mantie of Lola Moutez had not fallen upon herroyal daughter. Tudeed, her hearer Bet unnaturally, opined that thé Youusg lady had hever seep that brittant per- former in all her life, and that while she thight be a panceet her pi was not Montez. Who was she? t the tale be told, Some these: if a ‘otable geutleman named Solomon was loyed fas bookkeeper in the flour establishment of Mr. Join Heoker. He was an in- telligent and well educated man, nis family consist- ing of a gon and three a eo among they beti Claudia Solomon, a bedutiful young et ana deniike. With earnest appreciation for “Continental” education Claudia to ® convent in Bavaria by her father, Loving the solitude of the holy place and desirous of 1utting Nétself from the world. Claudia & feW fears became a nun. Her modest, retir- ing demeanor, her earnest sincerity daring the de- votional exercises, her angelic aspect, and her lov- ing, affectionate nature made her the pet and pride of the conveut. Her path was strewn with flowers, and for her the prospects were bright indeed. BLACK CLOUDS DARKEN THE HORIZON. Meanwhile Claudig’s father died suddenly of an epileptic fit in the office where he had been so hon- orably engaged, ani the family removed to New Orleans. From some cause Claudia quitted the Ba- varlan convent and journeyed to New Orleans. It was supposed by her family that she had come to found some convent in that locality, but such was not her intention, and after remaining but a short period witn her relatives she set out for New York. As the story runs, she at once proceeded to Mr. Hecker's, and making hersely known as the daughter of his former faithful employé was cordially wel- comed as @ guest. She was then recommended to the Belvedere House, where she stayed some weeks, but suddenly left. On making inquiries of Mr. Hecker as to pecuniary settlements, Mr. Weile, of the Belvedere House, was informed that Claudia had just left his (Hecker’s) house, where she had resided some weeks. So ends episode number two, and for the time the heroine vanishes, STRANGERS, BRNEVOLENCE AND BLOOD. It was Sunday, just as the services in most churches had closed, when two visitors appeired at an aristocratic French restaurant on Eighth street. One was a clerical gentleman, past middle age. and the other @ female, whose features showed traces of beauty and refinement, though marks of cafe and sorrow were qistinetiy visible throughout, With a dignified yet engaging air the clergyman’ kindly introduced the lady to the domestics, requesting that her wants should be attended to tn every particular, She was faint and looked fatigued. It was Sunday, however, and those having the direction of the establishment were absent at the time, Being assured that every provision would be made for the lady the clergyman took his leave, In the house there resided a celebrated tragédienne, whose nobility of character and benevolence are as natural as her well known geotus. Being apprised of the circumstances Miss Matiida Heron at once hasteied to afford all aid within her power, and the proprie- tor of the establishment having i the meantime arrived, arrangements were made for her temporary accommodation. Alone the stranger modestly courted the soci W of Miss Heron, who, becom- ing tuterested in her young und highly toteliec- tual visitor, the time passed tegen until night. Towards twelve o’ciock Miss Heron was aroused by agonizing moans from an adjoining ch ber, and, proceeding to ascertain the cause, discovered that tae stranger was complaining of a pawn about her heart, Medical assistance was brought into requisition, and though the young lady was suifering from a dangerous epileptic fit, the blood issuing profusely froin the mouth, the physi- glans succeeded in restoring her to consciousness, She was, however, unable to rise fora few days, at the end of which time she left the house, returning soon agaiv, however, to thank her benefactress. The young lady here spoken of was Claudia Solomon, BULLION, FAME AND LUNACY. It ts comparatively a short time since the banking house of Mesdames Woodhull & Claflin, on Broad street, was entered by a young woman, who, it is said, earnestly requested to be employed in the counting room of that firm. She rushed towards the ledgers, and, opening them, asserted her ability as an accountant, giving, by the way, ocular demon- stration’ of her L gel fet in the astoundingly rapid manner in which she added up the figures. It was at thts office she declared that she was the daughter of Lola Montez, and being ever on the alert to turn ® penny, the ‘female brokers” saw a golden harvest in store for the supposed daugh- ter of the famous danseuse, and immediately sug fed =the idea of giving a lecture on the subject, to which a ready assent was made. She made a few visits in company with Mesdames Woodhull & Clafin, asserting herself in some places as “the editor of the Druggists’ Price Cur: rent,” introducing herself to others as the “Princess Editha,” and assuring a)! generally that she had but little time to spare, as her carriage was in waiting. At this stage few could have failed to perceive that Claudia Solomon was soon to be a lunatic, as her speech and acts demonstrated. When questioned by Mrs. 8. E. Norton as to whetner she had studied tne subject of her lecture, or had prepared any notes, she replied:— “No, madame, lam going to speak from the in- Spiration of the moment. — 1 wWiil speak from heart.’ “Very well,” rejoined Mrs. Norton, ‘1 think you ‘will regret it.’” And so she did most bitterly. As already men. tioned, the lecture was a complete breakdown—non- sensi and idiotic. Jt was the more humiliating having been gotten up under the sanction and ear- nest approbation of the Women’s Suflirage Associa- ton, many members of which naturally imagined that the sight of a princess on their behalf would surely resuscitate the cause and put Vigor into some of the dilatory members of the society, But fate de- creed otherwise, and the Princess came to grief, A FORSAKEN DEBTOR AND SYMPATHIZING FRIENDS. Prior to her unfortunate exhibition at Steinway Hail, the “Princess,” entertaining @ just apprecta- tion ef her royal station, proceeded in style to the Astor House and hired apartments to the modest tune of twenty dollars per day. Friends nad flocked to see “her in large numbers, enchanted dn peing allowed (0 kiss the hem of her raval gar. a Ment.

Claudia—for it was she—then confessed that she Was Not what was generally supposed; that she waa penniless, and did not know where she could slay Over that night.

The lady bankers were right, a8 subsequent events but too sadly proved. The Princess was now debtor about eighty dollars, and Stetson immediately set detective Todd to work, With much consideration and kindness the latter listened to the sti fe statements of the poor girl, He consent to proceed with her in @ carriage to the residence of Mrs. Nor- ton. Arrived there, Claudia produced the bill, and though not asking for the money in a direct man- ner, plainly indicated that she that it should be paid, But Claudia became uneasy and then vio- lent, yet, by persuasion, she was induced to enter the carriage, which was immediately driven to Police Headquarters, where the unfortunatesvictim of a tortured bratn was charged before Inspector Jamt- son, With an eloquence, grace and aignity: that Would have done lionor to a princess she denied her impecuniosity and proudly asserted her right to the titles which she had assumed. She prevailed, and with commendab!e humanity po further action Was then taken, and Claudia was driven back to the Astor, where she had another terrible epileptic Ot. Dr, Swan was of opinion that she Was insane, and @ guard was placed over her, THE FINALE. The climax was hand, Yesterday morn- ng the symptoms incteased, though the once noble creature maintainea her elegant bear- ing to the last. Her beautiful eyes flashed like lightning, and, it seema, in the heat of her excitement, she threatened to horsewhip half a dozen bystanders at a time. She was visited b: a large number of ladics and gentlemen, but all their advances, with few exceptions, were indignantly repelled. Being urgently requeated to proceed the Astor House, Mixs Matilda Heron at once hurried thither, and, upon seeing her, the r maniac few to her arms and wept bitterly, Miss Heron afforded every poasible consolation and sympathy. But, not- withstanding that she became greatly molli- fled, Dr. Swan and other physicians pro- nounced her perfectly inaane, and, by gens eral consent, a currlage was procured, and the poor lady, accompanied by Miss Heron and detective Toad, drove rapidly to the Bloom- ingdale Asylum, where Miss Heron, at her own expense, volunteered to maintam her until she recovered; but, being without the certificates of two adinis- poysicians, sion was respectfully dectined. Detective Todd thereupon assumed the responsibility of the charge and drove to Forty-second etreet, where Claudia Pa entrusted to the temporary safe keeping of a riend. THB GREAT FALSTAFF AROUSED FROM SLUMBER. Daring Monday night, when all the guests of the Astor were buried tngsleep, a pair of boots lay at the door of Mr. Hackett’s room. Those boots acted like @ powerful maguet. There was a charm in their very toes. The night was far advanced, when astrange knock was heard, a handle was gently turned, the door opened and in glided a beautiful female in white. She looked like an angel, but there was a strange gleaming from the eye. A snow white hand stroked back the hair from Mr. Hackett's brow. He awoke, and, thunderstrack, heard in sivery accents the words— “You are an old man; can I trust you {"? With that chivalrous bearing Which has ever marked his great FalstaMlan career Mr. Hackett leaned upon his elbow and with a benign smile answered— “Of course you can, madam." Mine en, she rejoined, “f want your protec- Pena you must have tt,’ responded the gentle- Man. Jolin and the spectre vanished. It was Clau- dia the maniac. Mr. Hackett then feli into a dreamy slumber, MURDER IN NEW JERSEY. Bloody Affray Between Butchers—Attack with a Revoiver and Retort with a Knife—The Murderer Surrenders Himeelf. On the highway a short distance above Unton Hill, and a few miles from Hoboken, is a place known as the Weavertown road. Floral kK, ritue ated at this place, is known to hundreds of New Yorkers a8 a favorite pleasure ground for pte-nies and excursions, Just behind this park is @ slaughter house, where both Irish and Germans are employed. The question of nationality has sel- dom given rise to any dispute in the establishment but on two or three occasions some hot words were exchanged between the Celts and the countrymen from the Rhine. It was charged at one time that the latter were the special objects of favoritism, and, whether the charge was well founded or not, a feel- ing of jealousy was enkindied which never whoily aled out since. Yesterday morning four Irishmen and a German, named Frederick Kelling, had a dispute, which cul- minated fatally. One of the Irishmen, named Thomas McVermott, drew a revolver and presented it at Kelliug, when the latter drew a large buicher knife and plunged it to the handle in MeDermoti’s breast. The unfortunate man fell backward and expired almost instantly. Kelling then walked coolly into a lager beer saloon in Union Hill, catled for a gin cocktail, and, having drank it, surrendered himself to Justice Neuscheller. As soon as the intelligence went abroad crowds flocked to the Place and viewed the body of the murdered man. The inquest will take piace to-day. In the meantime Kelling remains in jal. He takes the matter very calmly, matotataing that he acted solely in self-defen FIGHTING FOR THE BONDS.

The hearing in this case, Which increases in public interest with each day's Investigation, was, accord- ing to adjournment, to have been fully resumed yes- terday, but was, on the testimony of Dr. Gregory, again adjourned over «ll to-morrow. The mys- very surrounding the missing bonds bids fair to be unravelied, ana the connection of the principal parties to their disappearance, and the complicity of others therein to be thoroughly exposed. This re- sult will be In no small measure due to the assiduous attention paid to the case by Surrogate Hutchings, whose long experience in criminal matters eminently fits him for presiding over an investigation of this kind, On the case being called yesterday Dr. Mrs. Gardiner’s medical attendant, appea testified that Mrs, Gardiner had been taken sick, and was at the present ume suffering from a severe at- tack of colic, which would most lkely render ner unable to appear fn court for a few aays. THE DECEASED CAPTAIN ALEXANDER HAD SUPFERBD FROM SOFTENING OF THE BRAIN, In answer to a question put by Mr, Fullerton Dr. Gregory said that he had called upon Captain Alex- ander @ few days before his death; that he then found him tn a@ lethargic state, though he would occasionally rouse up and answer questions when put to him very distinctly; his own impression at the time was that Captain Alexander was suffer- ing from softening of the brain—a disease of slow rowth. ki ‘The case was then ordered to stand over tii Thurg- O'Clock. day, at eleve RAILROAD SLAUGHTER.
