Judge Neilson said that there must be some Jack of intelligence some- where. Perhaps it was on the part of the Court in not being able to make itself properly understood, One of the jurors remarked that the Court did not seem to touch the point on which they had split, Judge NFILSON said that the jury were to deter- Taine whether the boiler was a safe one or not, and if there was negligence in its management. The Junon replied that they bad split on the question as to whether it was negligence to permit the steam to go over twenty-five pounds, Judge N¥ILSON satd that the jury must decide that point. If the boller could stand tweaty-five pounds only, Was it safe to exceed that amount? ‘rhe jury again retired and remained out for about hall an hour, when they returned and reporied that there was no possibility of their agreeing upon a verdict, They were thereupon discharged. ‘They siood seven for plainuf’ and five for defendants, ‘Thus ended the second trial of Mrs. Madden's action eres. $6,000 damages for the 1034 of her hus- and.

Recorder Hackett Immures Charles Moore in the Tombse—Flutter Among the Pothouse Politicinus. More than ordinary pubiic attention has been calied to the case of Charles Moore, charged with robbing ® poor immigrant by the name of Comack; end unjust aspersions have been made against Dis- trict Attorney Garvin and the Judges of the Goneral Sessions, who had put all the enginery of the law into operation to secure Moore's arrest after he had for- fetved his bail in the summer. It appears that the ‘accused surrendered himself on Monday, and yes- terday District Attorney Garvin directed him to be placed at the bar of the General Sessions, The court room was crowded with emigrant ranners and politicians trom the Firat ward. The prosecuting omMcer informed Recorder Hackett that he was not ready for trial then, but hoped to be able to proceed at some future day, as soon as he could ascertain the whereabouts of the prosecuting witness, Mr. Witi1am F. Hows, counsel for Moore, stated that his client was out on bail upon thls charge, but through some inadvertance ne was not in court when the case was called up. A man jointly in- dicted with him was prosecuted with great energy by the Distrigt Attorney to a conviction, and the Court sent him to the State Prison for five years. The bail-was subsequently forfeited in the case of Moore, and as soon a3 the judgment was entered up the accused came forward and surrendered himselt, He (Mr. Howe) urged with his usual earnestness and ability that his client should be bailed until he would be called to trial. ‘ District Attorney GARVIN vigorously Op} a the motion, and proceeded to give a history of the caue, a that as he and His Honor were desirous of breaking up this gigantio sysiem of emigrant swindling it was found necessary to imprison the complainant in the House of Detention for weeks. ‘The prisoner kept away from the jurisdiction of the Court until they were compelled to discharge the Witness, A bench warrant was issued for Moore’s arrest, but he could not be found, and did not make Ing appearance until he heard of tne dischi of the poor emigrant he had swindled. Everything was done to arrest the villain Moore, and he (Mr. Garvin) hopea that the Recorder would commit Moore to prison without bali, $0 that ne could be kept in custody until the witness was found. The most persistent efforts would be made to secure the resence of the complainant; and if he was in Ire- and, Scotland, Germany or in this country he would be brought back to New York in order to secure the conviction of Moore. ie RDER said that the matter of emigrant swindling had attracted public attention to a large degree, and aome of the papers had seen Ot to com- ment upon the want of a proper eniorcement of the law. Sofaras emigrant swindlers were concerned ‘they were prosecuted faithfully and earnestly by the District Attorney, and when convictea the extreme penalty of the law was enforced by his colleague id by himself. {t would seem from the history of this particular case that everything had been done by the authorities to secure Moore’s attendance; and as he (the Recorder) had no confidence thai this detendant would make nis appearance if bailed he would refuse the motion for bail and commit him to prison until the attendance of the witness ior the people could be obtained. ‘This action on the part of the Recorder and Dis- trict Attorney created quite a stir among the down- town poshouse politicians who crowded the Court, A DUION “SOLON SHINGLE,” A Great Cow Case at Kasex Market Court— One of Bergh’s Depatics Routed by a Herotc Gir, Aaron Loeb, of No, 118 Suffolk street, 1s a milk- man, and keeps four or tive cows in a rear shed at that momber. Yesteriay morning Sherman P. Sage, of the Association for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, was passing and saw one of the bovines lying tn the alleyway sick and uncared for. He at once summoned officer Acker and had the owner arrested. Simultaneously a man came Tushing with breathless haste into the Kasex Market Police Court, and, in a state of nervous trepidation, startled Baron Sobleiger, the Clerk, with the in- quiry:—“On! sir, tell me, sir, quick, where I geta gude cow lawyer!” The Baron looked bewildered and said, ‘What do you mean?’ “I want to get a lawyer right away, in a cow case,” answered the perspiring man. Baron SCHLEIGER—I don’t know anybody par ticular. Ask for Feuchtwanger. Pretty soon the riddle was solved, for Mr. Sage, Officer Acker, Baron Loeb and his daughter made thelr entrée, Their entrance was signalized by an immense uproar, each straggiing for the privilege of a first hearing. Judge LepwitH (suddenly looking up)—What's the matter, oflicer? What's the matter now? The officer, pointing to Mr. Sage, said that he (Sage) was the complainant in the case. Mr. SaoE—I was passing 118 Sumfolk street this morning, and | saw a sick cow lying in the alley- way; there was nothing to cover her, and she seemed to be suffering great agony; I, accordingly, caused the owner to be arrested on a charge of eruclty.

It 13 not devoted to paying the two gentlemen who peril their lives day after day in visiting the loathsomely affected inmates of the institution; for in your issue of to-day tile state- ment occurs that they have not been paid since the 1st of October.

But where is that $100,000?

SUICIDE BY HANGING. For some time past Jonn Miller, a young German, twenty-one years of age, whose parents live at 160 Stanton street, has been in poor health, and conse- quently at intervals very melancholy. Occasionally young Miller has been thought to be partially de- ranged, but no fears of his harming himself were entertained by lis friends, On Wednesday he was absent nearly all day, and at night his mother re- quested him to stay at home, but on leaving he re- marked, “This ts the last you will ever see of me,” Mrs, Miller, believing her son had entered a neigh- boring Jager beer saloon, thought little more of him Ulllate at night, and as he did not return search ‘was made for him.

The occasion among the many more active of the members had been pur- posely selected as a fitting time for presenting the magnificent prizes won during the annual regatta. by the schooner Madeleine, Commodore Voornla;. and the sloop Gracie, Messra. Johnson and Krebs; and they also made 1t the opportunity of demon- strating to the Commodore how heartily they appre- clate the exertions ho has made in behalf of the club. The evidence of their esteem m tne latter case = partook «of §=6an elegant supper, which was a total surprise to that *oMcer, and thus the success of the pleasant testi- monial was rendered all the more marked and en- Joyable. Vice Commodore Dickerson presided, and among those present were many owners of large yachts and scores of euthuslastic aquatic spirits, BUSINESS TRANSACTED, ‘The usual preliminaries being dispensed with, a¥ Toll call and minutes of the previous meeting, ex- Commodore Haight, Chairman of the Regatta Com- mittee, presented their report in detail and the prizes awarded the winning poata in the annual regatta.

Commodore Voorbis in bringing the subject before the meeting referred to its vast Importance, and explained the necessity of ita being taken 4B and acted upon In good time, as hitherto they hi been late with the matter, and contusion had oc curred 1n consequence; therefore, he, in conjunction with President Kid, desired to introduce the fol- lowing preanible and resolution:— Y e prescnt sailing regulations governing the sllowance.ol timd in reyattas ate based om incorrect olea| theref ‘Resolve That to the Commodore, Vice Commodore and President this matter be referred, aud to their number, as @ committee, toey have power to add such other members as will properly represent ali ciasses of yachts, for the purpose Ot revising the 8 g the aforesaid regulations, and to report the re- sult of their deliberations at the mezt’ meeting; and that the present rules of measurement are hereby annulled. ‘The club accepted unanimously the expression ot the Commodore im regard to the early actlon de- manded jn this matter and passed the above with- out argument, THE PRIZES.

PRESENTATION OF PRIZES, At this juncture the prizes were brought out, and Mr, Ostrander drew attention to the special order of business before them—the tation of the izes won in the late regatta to Commodore Voor- and others. As had veen previously Clegg Mr. Henry A. Mott periormed that auty. ty prizes were uncovered and the speaker most feli- citously commenced to shake out tno reefs of hie eloquence.
