Jade Barnard on the Increase of Crime—An Important Charue. Before Judge Barnard. Judge Barnard opened the Court of Oyer’ and Terminer yesterday morning and delivered the fol- towing important charge to the Grand Jury, after which the court was adjourned until Monday next:— ‘There is @ Grand Jury in session at the present tame in the Court of General Sessions of New York, and it has been deemed proper by the criminal authorities of this city thatan additional nd Jury should be summoned in the Court ol Oyer and ‘Ler miner, in order that by the joint action of both we may hasten the indictment of guilty or the discharge of innocent, of the Various persous who are at the present time coniined in the Tombs. It was supposed many years since, when this city had not more than one-quarter or its present number of im-" habitants, that the Conrt of General Sessions would be enabled to transact nearly all the criminal business of the city and county of New York. In consequence of the great increase in its population, and in conse- quence of the vast number of bad and desperate characters that have come here from nearly all the couniries of the world, the Legisiature have, from time to time, created other and imferior courts for the purpose of transacting the smaller grade of business, It bas been found, however, recent that the active co-operation of ali of these courts 1s not» suilicient to keep down the criminal! business, and it has become necessary to bring togeitier more frequently than 1 ever Was the, mtention of law this high Court of Oyer avd Termmmer, and I presume, gentlemen, that from this time onwara (though I hope nov this court will have to be almost in continuous session until such time as a generation, almost, shall have passed away, 80 that tle vast majority of men now engaged 4p the commission of crime shall either be tncarce- rated, shail run away or shali have died. [ use the word generation because history tells us that alter every great war tt requires a generation to clean ous the bad wien that have grown bad as cainp follow- ers, swindiers und robbers who have followed an army. Jt 1s vot the soldiers—those who tave fought—that coiminit crime; it is the vagabonds and rufiians that follow along for the purpose of plunder and murder, and it is to deat with this class of per- sons that you have been brought here to-day, gen- Uemen, to lake the mitative towards bringing them to trial, and I bave uo doubt that the justice of this our Supreme Court of this city, acting in accordance with the line of conduct that the judg marked out, as far_as criminals are concerned, will try and punish with the uimost celerity all those persous who may be indicted by you and that may be convicted by a petit jury, so iat if 1t is possible, if the adniinistration of justice ean do it, iis fearfully, coustantly increasiag and ever to be regretted era of crime may be checked or stopped entirely. ‘Lhese are the observations I huve to Inake, gentiemen. .

At the time the processton reached there at } least 6,000 people had assembled.

Trial of Conlan, alias Murphy, the Bogus Mar- shal, Before Mayor Hall—Mr. Conlan Makes a General Donia! of the. Charges Against Him. An intelligent looking man, about thirty-four or tirty-flve years of age, styling himself William H, Murphy, City Marshal, and who has been doing quite an extensive business mulcting the keepers of ‘stores On Various streets and avenues up town, has at last come to grief, THE MODUS OPERANDI pursued by thts smart young man was somewhat in this wise:—Having provided himself with a silver badge, modeiled from a police sergeant’s old style shield, with the words “City Marshal, New York," in blue enamelied letters, and haying in bis posses- sion a large numbef of legal-looking documents, he woul cal! upon the storekeepers who happened to leave boxes or other articles on the sidewalks and ask if they had permits for the obstructions. At the same time EXHIBITING HIS SHIELD, he would say that he was an attaché of the Mayor's oitice, and that if the storekeeper would pay him a stated sum he would obtain the permit for him and save hun the trouble of going down to the Mayor's office himself. In this way, it is alleged, he has obtained large suis of money. In other cases he would have “summonses” Mied out with titles, such as rhe Mayor against ——,” or “JOHN DOE AND RICHARD ROE” against the unfortunate individual he mtenced to fieece. These papers were obtained from vartous District Courts and have the signatures of the clerks of the courts from which they purported to issue, ‘Those who paid for permits waited patiently to see the necessary document coming, but it did not come, They became suspicious, and Oficer Wagner, of the Mayor’s ordinance squad, being informed of the facta by several stovekeepers, related the case to Mr. G. D. Cardozo, Chief of the Ordinance Bureau. The Jatter gentleman acquainted Mayor Hail with the detatls. A formal complaint was made by Messrs. Lee & Hayes, of 300 Seventh avenue, on which Mayor Hall immediately 4 ISSUED THE MAYOR'S WARRANT, ordering the arrest of the smart young man, For several days lie managed to elude officer Wag- ner and continued operations until Saturday night last, when special officers Butcher and McCaffrey, of the Sixteeuth precinct, saw him quietly sipping some CHEERING LAGER ina saloon on Seventh avenue, Having learned that the young man was wanted by the Mayor they took him into custody and escorted him to the Six- teenth precinct station house. He protested loudly against being treated as a malefacwor, but he had to go below. His ri name, it appeared, was Nicho- las C, Conlan, of 239 West Seventeenth street. On searching nin the oMcers found the badge above mentioned, a large bundie of documents, many of which were bills, evidently given for collection, re- celpts and memoranda of various addresses, Yesterday afternoon he was brought to the City Hall and THE TRIAL was conducied in the ‘or's oilce, Mr. George W. Morton, in charge of the permit de- artinent of the Mayor's office, was the first to tes- ify. He was sworn and exainined by Mayor Hall, and stated that there 13 not and has not been during his jon with the ofice—some twelve years— ‘son by the name of William H. Murphy; that was a gentieman by that name aitached to ‘orporation Attorney's office as inspector; he (Mr. Morton) was acquainted with this Mr. Mur- phy’s handwriting, and the receipt given to Messra. Lee & Hayes, and placed in evidence, signed Wil- liam HI. Murphy, was not in Mr. Murphy's hand- writing. During this tine the prisoner sat be: ween officers Butcher and McCaffrey, and seemed to be ~ QUITE INDIFPERENT AS TO THE RESULT of the proceedings or the damaging evidence against hin. Mayor Hall, turning to Conian said, “Mr. Conlan, you are chargea with obtaining money under false pretences, ‘This Is a felony and punishable as such. ou ave entitied to the advice of counsel as the charge” — “I KNOW WHAT THE CHARGE 18,” sald Conlan, interrupting, and in a stolid tone. “On! you do?” replied the Mayor. “I didn't know that you were aware of it. As magistrate I the power to commit you on the charge to answe. CAN'T | HAVE BAIL? put in Mr. ConJan again. “IL have been locked up nee saturday night and my folks take It pretty pard.? Mayor Hall—Yes, Vil take bail forsou, Ishouia require very good real esiate bail for $2,500 to answer any indictment the Grand Jury might bring against you on this charge, tne Prisoner—1 deny the whole charge. 1 want to make a statement. I'll swear to lt. lL never said I came from this ofice, [go around— Mayor Hall—One mowent. | never allow anybody to make any statemeng in which he might commit himself, I don’t think any magistrate would permit @ person to say anything in such @ case without consulting counsel, a3 anything he might say could be used against him. I will recommit you to allow you time to obtain counsel. { will send you to the Tombs, or back to the station house, whichever you reier, 2 Prisoner—I would rather go to the station house, Mayor Hali then made out a commitment, handed It to the officer (McCaffrey), and told the prisoner that he would adjourn further proceedings until to- «day at noon, From the papers found in the prisoner's posses- sion it appears that among the victims of ius it- spection are Ss. Kullman, 318 Seventh avenue; John elleman, Seventh avenue, between Twenty-fourth and Va enee streets; Henry Manus, 302 Seventh avenue; Thomas Hughes, 224 West 'Twenty-seventh street; Henry Utger, 278 Seventh avenue; Weis & Frey, 340 Ninth avenue; Jota Otten, 166 Seventh avenue; J.C, Toett, 406 Kighth avenue; Ph. Kettle, 414 Seventh avenue; Jacob Moll, 1,389 Broadway; A. Schmitz, 152 Seventh avenue. Several of these par- es wilt appear as witnesses against the prisoner.

There was, as a consequence of this dulness, very Ittle Inquiry for money, and the rate on call averaged five per cent for most of the loans to stock houses. Some borrowers paid six per cent, but on the other hand the larger government dealers were abun- dantly supplied at four per cent. There was more disposition to make time engagements. Loans were male at thirty days for seven per cent, and stocks were “tnrned” for sixty days at seven per cent and a@ commission of a \ to % percent. In our review of the money market yesterday a typographical error spoke of “a disposition to stringency,” when it should have read “lndisposition to stringency.” Discounts feel (iis relaxation, and there is more cur- rency for prime names.

The Stock Exchange was ouly thinly attended and dealings were devoid of animation, The contmued ease in money stimulated some buying in the fore- noon, and prices were highest in the eurller hours of business, As the day wore on and the buyers found they had not been followed by others, and that the market was relapsing into duiness, prices fell off again, and, in some instances, the lowest quotations were made towards the close of busi- ness. The market was, in the main, steady how- ever. In the miscellaneous shares United States Express was sold down to 374% on the report t the company would be demed their route over the Erie Railroad. The public should remember that the same threat has been already used several Limes to assist speculation in the stock. ‘The extreme fluctuations m prices to-day ranged from a quarter to a half per cent, except for the bck just referred to, which declined from 40 to 37%.

THE NATIONAL GAME. Atlantics vs. Olympics, of Washington, D. C.— Victory for the New Yorkers by uw Score of 29 to 26. ‘The Olympics, of Washington, arrived in this city yesterday morning on their way home from a tour through the West, and in the afternoon betook themselves to the Capitoline grounds, where they engaged the old Atlantics, and, as the sequel will show, were defeated. In some respects the game was a good one, but, as both siues were in a crippled condition, it was by no means as close as It would otherwise have been. Those who knew anything of the Washington nine, or, at least, the nine that were expected to piay, went out to the ground yesterday confident of seeing a goot game, Of course, everybody expected to see tha Atlantics win the game, and consequently the betting fravernity offered immense odds, but hat the visitors not been short one man, and had they played another man in Glen’s place, tose who were so confident of the Atlantics coming oif victorious would have been very much mistaken, and the “gold ring” would have lost aplle of stamps, Force, the regnlat short stop of the visitors, was absent, and Young had to be substituted for him, while Glen, who is considered one of the best players im the club, Was 80 sick that he could scarcely move about the deld, and this t alone gave the champions four or five runs. | To pe sure, the Atlanties were also short handed, Zoulein being too sick to be out of bed, but Olliver, Dis substitute, dia very well both in the field and at the bat. Chapman oillciated as pitcher, and al- gh the Waslington iads batted him rather , he still did very well indeed, ‘he game opencd at hali-past three o'clock with the ‘atfanties at the bat, and Dickey Perce led off with a pretty two base hit to right feld, Smith per- ished at second, having got frst by a scratch, aud Joe Start retired on a pretty Ny to Berthrong in cen- tre field, Pierce in the meantime running home. “Chap” ‘scored a ran, but Ferguson, «lve: earning market was atrifie dling We, The salea COMMERCIAL REPORT.

In the third inning, however, the “Blue Legs” went them one beter, and disposed of thelr opponents for but oue run, At this point of game those who had been betting twenty to one on the Brooklynites began to grow weak-kneed, and many of them doubtless wished they had never seen the Alantics.
