THE TAYLOR WILL CASE | Another Chapter in the Grandmother- Granddaughter Squabble, Mrs Howland’s Testimony—-The Man Who Wears James B. Taylor's Clothes—A Legal Spat—The Relations Between Mrs. Howland and Mrs. Taylor—Adjournment of the Case—Tho Scene in the Court Room. Surrogate Hutchings entered his court room yes- ‘terday morning at the usual hour, determined to advance the Taylor will case toward an early issue, Profoundly disgusted with the conduct of the case 60 far, as he must bave been, he nevertheless bent Ns mind to the consideration of the tangled evi- dence before lin with that close application and patient attention through which he has alreaay achieved an enviable reputation and won the respect of the bar and the public. The court was crowded with the friends and sympathisers of the Utigants,and every new point raised was eagerly canvassea and discussed by them. Inflated by the mero mention of their names in the HERALD the Fox Sisters availed themselves of the, to them, golden opportunity to advertise their ancillary and spiritual qualities by appearing in court, They occupied a front seat immediately behind Mr. Andrews, counsel for Mrs, Taylor, smued, smirked and looked entirely human during ‘the proceedings. 1t is hardly possible that they will ‘de put on the stand to prove Mrs. Taylor’s connec- tion with the dear spirits of the faithful departed; but if they do some spicy developments concerning matters and things in the other world, as viewed by mediums, rappers end clairvoyants, may ‘be expected. Mrs. Taylor, dressed in the customary suit of solemn black, but with A WIDE SMILE OF BENIGNANT MEANING, sat beside Mr. Andrews, her counsel, and occasion- ally enlivened the duil monotony of the exammation of the witnesses by poking her learned frtend in-the ribs. Behind her, in battle array, were seve- Tat aympathizers of the strong-minded per- suasion, and a few gentlemen whose ante- cedents and appearance merit no special motice. Among these the grim, warlike, high collared General Spinola was conspicuous, Snorts of derision and suppressed screams of astonish- ment and bewilderment broke from the lips of these disinterested sympathisers, as the witnesses proceeded with their narratives, and struck the troubled ears of the tired reporters painfully. The case, as has already been stated in the HERALD, is one for the possession of several millions of dollars and considerable real estate, and that the principals and their friends should display emotion during the legal contest is not, therefore, surprising. Mr. John B, Mills was the first witness called. He testified that he was acquainted with all the parties in the suit; knew Mr. Taylor during his life time; after the trip to Europe already referred to in the evidence the facts concerning the illness of Mr, Taylor were concealed from Mrs. Taylor on accouut of the state of her health. Mrs. Howland was then placed on the stand ana examined at great length. She bore the ordeal with much equaniu ity, though manifestly suflering trom illness. She was THE CYNOSURE OF ALL EYES, and her appearance and conduct on the wit- ness stand excited the attention and re- ceived the sympathy of all in the court room. Mr. Clinton, her counsel, probed the Jady’s recollection with potnted questions covered in honeyed words, and the whole story, now thrice told, was gone over. The irrepress.ble desire of the charming lady’s verbose counsel to achieve a re- putation for legal repeating was thus attained, The points in the evidence of Mrs, Howland of impor- tance are the fullowing:—Was always treated and Known as the daughter of Mr. Taylor until his death; his mauner was most affectionate towards me; there was no secrecy about my marriage with Mr. Howland; Mra. ‘Taylor spoke discouragingly of the match; first she was encouraging, but for some reason became hos- tile.afierwards: alter the reconciliation between myself and Mr. Taylor, on the fourth day succeeding the marriage, the subject was never mentioned by my father; my wucie’s niece was in the habit of visiting Mr. Taylor’s house, and MRS. TAYLOR OBJECTED on the ground that there might possibly be another ‘unaway match; up to the time of my birthd: the md Of November, the relations between Mr. Taylor and myself were most cordial; on that day he sent me a letter enclosing $100 a3 a birthday present, ‘The ietter was here read, as follows:— Dax KaTR—Ienclose you in this letter a check for $100 aw a birthday present. JAMES #. TAYLOM This letter was sent without the knowledge of Mrs. Taylor: at a luter period Mrs, Taylor said that I looked sau, and spoke disparagingly of the married state; she said to me, in presence of my husband, that if 1 shouid die be would get married in a month; when asked how she would act under such circum. stances she said that she would not get married, but her husband would; Mrs. Taylor also said that 1 was in love with some one else before my marriage, and could not either sleep, eat or drink; both myself and my husband were indignant; Mr. ‘taylor was told of the matter, and pooh-poohed it, remarking that Ishould not mind Mrs. Taylor; she alway castacloud upon me; my husband re- marked that whenever I visited Mr. Taylor's house I returned sad and dejected, and that he knew I must have peen ul treated by Mrs. Taylor; sometimes I told him of my mother’s unkind remarks, and some- times I did not; while Mrr. Taylor was acting in this upkind manner I was quite sick; Mr. Taylor was much disappointed wuen I made known to him that the doctor had ordered me to Europe for my health, as he expected to have Harry and my- self af bis nouse during the summer, while Mrs. Saylor and Mrs. Howland were away travelling; Harry and I frequently stayed at Mr. Taylor’s house over hight; there were u number of persons present atthe family reunion at dinner at Mr. ‘aylor’s house before we went to Europe MY FATHER WAS MOST KIND and affectionate in his manner, as was also my mother; the day we left, my father came down to the steamer and saw us oi; he introduced me to one of hits gentleman friends on board as hts daughter; he ‘Was greutly atfected and never kept his eyes of me untilthe ship was out of sight; he threw kisses toward me and seemed muci agitated; in Europe I recetved letters trom him couched in the kindest Janguage. (Counsel here read a letter from Mr. ‘Taylor urging that there should bo the kinagest feelings between th families travelling abroad.) When in Paris I received a letter from Mrs. Taylor, then in Germany, of the most a!- fectionate tenor; she joined us shoruy afterwards, dined and breakfasted with us; I went shopping with her as her interpreter. ‘The remainder or the witness’ evidence concern- Ang the tour in Europe and the journey home was merely corrovorative of that given by her mother, Mrs, Howland, sr., on eriday last. Of the same cha- racter was the account the witness gave of her meeting Mr. M. Taylor in his room, and of bis death on the 22d of August. After the funeraj. on the 25th, Mrs. Taylor was crying and bemoaning her fa' my husband was present; I toid her that no oue would be so cruel as to turn her out of her home, that we were alone, and must cling together; she eried very much, put sald noting; O¥ COURSE MY HUSBAND APPROVED of what I said; 1 told her the day after the funeral that whenever { had prosperity she should share 1t with me; on the sate day she said she didn’t think my husband loved me with the night kind of senti- ment, and warned we to keep on good terms with George Duryea, ay he could serve me or do me in- jury; Mr. Albert Day was in the house the day after the funeral; he lives in Bethel, Vt; he was tele- graphed for; he has been in court every day; I have seen him wearing my father's clothes in court; Mr. Albert Day left tue nouse 403 Madison avenue at eleven o'clock the aay after the funeral, to go to my father's oftice; he said he went to write a lette! «Witness here mentioned several circumstances ex- ceedingly damaging vo the character of Mr. George Duryea.) Only ior my father, Duryea would have been in ihe ‘State Prison; Dury ea was in constant consultation with my mother; after leaving the house on, account of Mrs. Taylor's con- duet towards us, 1 recurned the next day; when Mr. Day came back from his trip down town (he was rp along time, he was closeted with my mother; was REFUSED ADMISSION TO THE ROOM where they were in consultation; in my early days my lather Invariably took my part whenever Mrs. faylor spoke harsily to me. r. Andrews, counsel for Mrs. Taylor, here broke out ina rasa, Which flushed tn his face and twitchea his nervous’ fingers. He objected to that line of sestimony and objected to the witness alto. wether. He said that he had patientiy allowed the counsel on the other side to vioiate all the rules of evidence aud ride over all creation, but it was time that he should interfere, He was desirous of opening up the whole case, but he could not see why rules of law should be disre- garded merely to oblige the counsel on the other side, who had yel falied to substantiate his sensa- 4ional stories by actual facts. In sup; " Jection he quoted chapter 833 of the dd Aits Honor overruled the objection after a careful consideration of the statute, but allowed the counsel the benefit of an exception. Examination continued—In shopping in this erty [ bad always unlimited credit, being directed by Mr. Yaylor to have everything | purchased charged to him; on one occasion at dinner Mr. Taylor spoke harshly of Mr. George Duryea, as one of wy inother’s protege. Mc. Gunton here paused, aud the opposing counsel ode, paragraph : NEW YOR was invited to cross-examine. This Mr. Andrews declined to do, on the ground that there was nothing developed py the counsel in the examination bear- ing upon the question at issue. A SHARP AND PROTRACTED DISCUSSION: then took place between the opposing counsel, and the resulé was that his Honor, the Surrogate, directed an order io issue for the examimation of the papers left by Mr. Baylor, to-day, and adjourned the furtner hearing of the case unul Friday, at eleven o'clock, MUNICIPAL ‘The Board of Aldermen Meets and Adjourns a Meets Again—The Hamar Pavement Adopted and the City Collector Mado Very Happy. ... ‘The Board of Aldermen met yesterday afternoon at two o'clock, the President, Alderman Coman, tn the chair, There was evidently a screw loose some- where after the meeting had been called to order, for even while the reader was rattling over the min- utes, in such @ way a4 to lead the unsophisticatea portion of the lobby to believe that he was exercts- ing himself in -,, THE HOTTENTOT ALPHABET, Coman moved uneasily in his downy seat, Way up on his gorgeous throne, and QGuddy, bis face all aglow with excitement, gliuved quickly about the room from desk to desk, only tarrying a monient or so at each to drop a word or two into the several Aldermanic cars that were ranged listen- ingly in the) semi-circle. Even McKeever, who doesn’t often crawl out of his natural stolidity of manner, was nervous, and consoled his unusual high-strung condition auring the reading by follow- ing in an order book each sentence read, as though to note whether the reader took the proper breath- ing spells when he came to semt-colons aud dimiy ‘AIRS. printed commas. Jerome and Hart, mean- while, chatted very pleasautly together about sometning which “may have — been oimicial for aught anybody else could tell, for they spoke in low whispers, doubtless knowing that Coma: keen eyes Were upon them, and that his ivory-headed gavel might bring them to slieace with a sharp turn if they dared to speak too loudiy. However, Wolt- man seemed to have a misgiving about the official character of the little coniab, and, while apparently examining certain SIXTH WARD HIEROGLYPHICS on a piece of brown paper, sent to him by a patient lobbyist outside the railing, eyed Jerome in a kno ing kind of way, and looked mere knowing th ever when he discovered that the latter wore no rose- bud in his buttéa hole. The readimg finally wound up, and the aidermanic heads turned suddenly towards the Presidential chair as Cuddy, who had at last reached his seat after his fly- ing visit to tne various desks, rose and moved that the Board should adjourn to four o’ciock. No per- son not imthe lobby looked astonished when the mo- lion was unanimously carried, and the secret of the general nervousness at last leaked out. It was nothing more nor less than the absence of one alder- man, Whose vote was requisite to mai¢ up a general order passing power. Cuddy and his friends were bound to get him, in order that they should not be thrown out of gear during the Christmas hotidays; and so during the adjournment scouts were sent out to lay hands upon him. THE MISSING FATHER was found after a diligent seareh taking an epicu- rean lunch in a vark row restaurant, and made bis appearance looking rather scared at the sudden swoop that had been inade upon him for the sake of the public weal. He took his seat quiet'y enough, butloand behold! when the Board came to order it was discovered that Hart and Jerome were not present, which was, indeed, provoking. Just think ofity Adjourning to get one alderman, and losing two by the operation, Woltman bit hs natls and said nothing, and Cuddy didn’t bite his natis but said agreat deal. Luck was on the Board's side, however, for who shouid file in, one after the other, just as all) hope of a general order business had been given up, but Chadwick, Reilly and Mitchell. THE CAT JUMPED OUT OF THE BAG atonce. Woltman moved the adoption of the re- solutions to pave certain streets with the Hamar pavement, notwithstanding the Mayor's veto, which cnaracterized it as an experimental one. Caddy seconded the motion; in fact, turee or four tried to second it all at thesame time, and in the twinkiing of a little star the Hamar pavement was “O K™ without Oakey’s approval. After tus ihe Board looked happy, and vook up the following amendment to chapter three, article five, section sixty of the Revised Ordinances of 155 the fees of the Coliector of the City Reyenue:— ‘The Collector of the’ City Revenue shall recetve monthly five per cent upon ali moneys received or collected by him by virtue of the authority contained in this ordinance, and when- ever any such moneys as are designated in section tifty-tive of this ordinance siiail be received and collected under legal tally discharged by the corporation in the tofavy claim, sule or purchase, entitled to the percentage afore: Board adjourned to Wednesday next at two P.M.

The regular weekly session of the Brookiyn Board of Aldermen was held yesterday afternoon, Alderman Bergea in the chair, The Street Com- missioner sent in a communication setting forth that he had caused the discontinuance of work on several strects because it was not being done in ac- cordance with the specifications on fle. The Com- missioner reports:-— There have been confirmed, and now in the hands of the Coilector of Taxes and Assessments for col- lection, over five and a quarter miies of graded and paved ‘streets, the expenses of which amount to $131,058. here lave been cto the Beard of Assessors from this department, and now in their hands for apportionment, over nine mules of graded and paved sireets, the expenses of which amount to $448,054.

A communication was received from Mr. Craw- ford, to which was attached the petition of eighiy property owners, asking that the Scrimshaw con- crete pavement be laid upon the sidewalks tu front of their property instead of flagging. The Boara olved to lay the Scrimshaw pave- ment on the sidewalks ol Lafayette avenue, between Hall stveet and Myrtle evenue. despite the veto of the Mayor, sent in at a previous meeting, at a cost of eighteen cents a square foot, The police were requested by resolution to report the uaines of property owners who had failed to carry out the law in renumbering their houses. TRE COURL HOUSE COMMISSIONERS. Tse Dome Idea Kuoocked in the Head—A Mansard or Flat Roof, Which ¢ The Court House Commissioners have decided unanimously not to carry out that part of the origi- nal plan of the architect of the new County Court House which includes the erection or the dome. The HERALD on Sunday intimated that it was their intention to come to this decision, The Commis- Sioners contend that they have weighed the subject carefully, and, aiter examining every point in dis- pute in reference to the plans with all possible care and with due regard to the public interests, that they cannot carry out the idea, no matter how they might individually desire that it should be carried out. They give varlous reasons for their decision, the principal one of which is that they have not THE NECESSARY FUNDS at thelr bands to do tt with, Tue law, they say, which created them and gave them full control over the construction of the building fixed the sum which tuey Were authorized to expend for tie completion of the whole work at $600,000, If they were to pry oul thé original plans as far as the dome ts concerned, they clatm that this $600,000 would be, as Pompey would say, “nowhar,”’ aud that even if they did complete the dome a very large sum would be required afier that to finish the still uncompleted portions of the building. They add that they are under the impression, after consultation with Vari- ous architects on the subject, that they can finish the entire building handsomely with the amount at their command, leaving cnt the idea of the dome altogether. At the same time, however, they wish itto ve understood that they have no intention whatever of inierermg With either the intertor or exterior portion of tie dome which has already been completed. They claim thataf they can, with good etiect, have A MANSARD ROOF on the building they will thereoy gain an entire new Jioor, in Which the public busluess of some of the departments now clamoring jor more eibow room can be conveniently tr cled. If they can. not carry out the idea of the Mansard roof they will have the root made fat rather than undergo what they term the “enormous expense’ which the erec- tion ofa dome would entau.

MONKEY BASY, ‘The expectation that the late monetary stringency had passed by, induced by the relaxation so valpa- bly felt on Savurday, was uot doomed to disap- pointment; but the money market still retained a@ very natural relic of feverishness after so violent a disturbance of its current.

Finally, asthe time for closing the banks approached, the lenders seemed to be in large majority, and there was a pressure of balances to the street, under which the rate fell to six per cent, with exceptional transactions at five.

As compared with the average of the previous week these figures show a decline, and hence, when the cable which brought us fresh quotations of our bonds in London, showing an advance to 88% a 8B for the issues of 1862, gold fell no lower, because the feeling existed that the improvement had been enticipated and discounted, Eyen the reports of a resurrection of tae French Inilitary vigor and of brilliant French sorties at Paris failed to awaken any speculative enthusiasm, and the market closed as it opened.

The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as follows:— Gold cleared Gold bala Currency balal GOVERD "S$ STRONG, ‘There was rather more animation in the govern- ment market, and prices were faverably influenced by the cable quotations from London, especially as gold was so steady, The improvement was more visible in the 1862's than in the rest of the list, but the tone of the whole market was firm. The currency sixes, which had been largely held by parties anticipating @ market for them, when the close of the year should occasion large purchases by capitalists ana corporations a to evade local and State taxa- tion, and which were the weakest and lowest of the list during the recent ‘break’ in the stock market, have as suddenly recovered and were noticeably strong and in request to-day. The following were the closing street prices of the govern- ment list:—United States currency sixes, 110% a 110%; Uutted States sixes, 1881, registered, 109% a 110; do. do, coupon, MIS% a 113%; do. five-twenties, registered, May and Novem. ber, 107% 0 10734; do. do., 1862, coupon, do., 107% a 107%; do. do., 1864, do. do,, 10714 #10724; do, do., , do, do., LOTS; a 10 do, do., registered, Jan- uary and July, 106%% a 106 do. do., 1865, coupon, 10954 & 10924; do, do, 1867, 40, do, 109% a do, do., 1868, do. do, [L049 & 110. do. ten-for- ties, registered, Lo a 16 S,; do. do., coupon, 106%, EXCHANGE WEAK.

The contending parties to the recent conflict were ma- nouvring to-day rather than making any positive demonstrations. Meantime prices were alternately weak and strong, according as the speculative feel- ing was guided by the course of the moncy market, with which it was in complete sympathy. The leading shares which are most sensitive to changes of speculative opinion underwent four general movements—viz., from strength to weakness, and thence to strengih, alternating the same way once more with @ strong market at the close, The activity in money early in the forenoon provoked the first decline, especially as it was feared that the “pear cliques had not abandoned thelr intention of makiug and keeping the money market stringent. Northwestern common, which has been one of the objective points of their strategy all along, fell about two per cent from the opening price, and the general list an average of 14 a per cent. At its lowest it was well above the lowest prices made in the decline last week, which fact has given risqs%o the opinion among the calmest spectators of the present situation that prices are not far from “hard-pan,” and that the “pears” are row fighting a stone wall which muy shatter thcir forces, At the same time they are very proud of their recent aclievements, aud keep up their threats of a further raid, which shall plunge the market far below the pric: f last Saturday morn- ing.

New York Central scrip rose io 8844 on a vague repoit that the directors intended converting it into a fifty-year six percent bond, for the redemption of which the difference between 6 per cent gold and 8 per cent currency, or such other dividend as might be declared on the stock annually, would be devoted to a sinking fund.
