There was not one to utter a harsh word relative to the @ead man. No one denied that he had grave faults, vut ali agreed that his virtues overbalunced bis vices, and sometimes even lis faulings leaned to virtue’s side, His large- hearted liberality, his numerous acts of generosity, the attachment to tis friends and his charity to open enemies formed the scene of universal com- tment, and in all the crowd there was none to say an unkiad or harsh word. THE ERIE DIRECTORS mustered tn force with gloomy and perturbed looks, seciningly overwhelmed by the greatness of the catastrophe which had overtaken the road by the sudden removal of Its presiding genius, Knots of them were gathered m earnest consuitation, eagerly discussing (he probable effect of the death of Fisk on the standing and security of the corporation, Clerks were everywhere despatched to gather in the executive wisdom of Erte, and some old men and young, infirm and stroug, were proffering assistance aud advice to Jay Goud, on whose shoulders so great a responsibility had sud- denly iatiep, It was evident from the troubled Jovks of those who were present that the loss was no common one, and mauy, under the mfuence of strong eingtion, gave vous to thelr sorrow in tears. ‘Tae extent Of the calamity to the Erie road 1s only known to those Who are deeply mMterested uM its concerns, bULIt requires all tue cxecufive abuity i can command Lo Weather Lhe sivrm and with. stand the lormidable didugers with wich it 1s threatened both from foes wituin and without.

When whe hearse couiaining tne comin, which was taken [roin the hotel, appeared in sight the agitation became intense, aud a low Wall of sorrow went up irom the assembled multitude, Long after it had been taken into the residence whioh Fisk lett a few hours be.ore, all unconscious vol the tragic terminaton of his career which awatied him, the excitement continued, and did not dn any way lessen as Lhe nightcame on. About four 2’clock @ notice was posted to the suldiers of the Ninth, at the entrance 1o the Erie Ratiroad ofice, calling upon all members 1 the regiment to assein- ble this morning to do honor to their departed chief and parucipate in the solemn ceremonies of his duyeral, Nigut caine on, and the crowd on the streets was undiminished, while inside weighty matcers of life and death vo the Erie Railroad were beg anxiousiy debaved. it was not until the ights had veen ail extinguished and the last director had taken bis departure that the soldiers and civiians slowly returned to their homes. EXCITEMENT THROUGHOUT THE CITY. As soon as the news of Mr. Fisk’s death reached the various places of public resort the excitement became .most intense. The news spread like wild- fire. As the groups of promenaders heard it they stopped in their walk and with astonished looks talked over the dreadful occurrence on the side- Walks, Imprompta clubs met for discussion at we corners of the streets, In the hotels, the clubs and everywhere where the Sunday after- nook was whiled away nothing was talked of but the terrible trageay and the circumstances which surrounded 1}. The Grand Central Hotel was, of course, the principal object of attraction, and long after the marderea man’s Iife bad ebbed away crowds flocked up to the door ol fhe hotel “How dc Mr. Fisk?” “Dead!” And the dnguirer turned aplly away. AT THB ORAND CENTRAL nore Shortly before ope o'clock one of we clerks of tho Grand Central Hotel informed a ena that the body was being placea in the cole, ak tat when everything had been Vecam ingly ar- \ramged that all who wished to view the bosy would dave thetr curiosity gratified. Up to this ume none Dut she boarders im the house and those who had special permision were allowed up stairs to te secondfivor. A porterand a policemen stopped the ,way, ana getused|permission to pass to every one who sras Mot p¥oWded with Atickel. As.soon as the news @PREAD THROUGK THE city! that Mr.\ Fisk j:ad died there was a general rusp towauis theGreud Central Hota. At nopn the hall- | Way apd foungivg room were so crowded that it was almost impacsivie to get cituer side tee doors, ach new arnval hurried through she crosvd and loon ed on gvery side for some famillay face. Asa frierl Was recognized ordinary salutations were forgothen, and the first question was, “Is he really dead?” And as the sad Bews was confirmed & Jong silence {diLowed, broken at igst by the exclamation, “Well, it isttoo bad 7” Those who fatied to come acrogs thetr friends butvon-holed strangers and anxiousty inquired if the report were true. Every effort was made to gain the second floor, where the dead boay of the maprocred may awalsed removal to tho’ man. ston rhat & day ago claimed him for its mas- ter, None bat Yavored few, however, were ad- mitted, and the crowd were fain to content them- selves: WITH ANIMATED STORIES of the assfissination and its sad circumstances. As On Saturday night, the Jailingso;the dead maa were forgotten m his virtues, His charities, his generous libera’ity, his sirong friendships, all ‘were leclingly recalled and even extravagantly ex toHed, As on Saturday night, too, there was not a word to pailiate the crime of his murdeier, not & voice ratsed to offer the shadow of excuse for a ter- ribie deed; and he who, two days ago, would have found sympathy With some a8 @ persecuted, ruined man, a victim to bis‘own wretched infatuation and the iricks of a clever enemy, Found not a generous friend or pitying foe, The “cowardly assassin,” who gave his victim no chance for life, feund no sympathetic throb in the Uiousanas of American hearts that welled up with pity for the poor dead man that lay coid and stark in a strange room, Waose deatiibed was brigutencd by no loving faces of relatives, and who wished only to live TO SAVE HIS SLAYER - from the indignity of the gallows, ‘fo any one who had beea near thé deathbed while the lamp of life sull dickered this extraordinary revulsion of popu- lar feeliug would bave taught @ forcible lesson. The hatred of cowaraice of any kind, inored to the American people, showed livelf in every exciama- ton, and, a3 many at the tirana Central Hotel re- marked, had poor Fisk survived his injuries he would have become the most popular man in America, AH through the day and afternoon crowds of Bee le thronged to the“ Grand Central to inquire as ‘0 the condition of the victiin. As the day waned and the report of Mr. Fisk’s deatn began to be spread about immease crowds flocked to the scene of the wagedy, aud us the sad news was Confirmed turned sadly away. About one o’clock—the hour at which the boay left the hotel—the crowd became most dense. The immense muititude, onaware that the coffin had conveyed inte wercer street through @ back stalrcase and placed in an hapretending. ales remained in the haliway up toa lave hour in the afternoon, waiting for @-caance of A LOOK AT THs BODY of the murdered man, When first the report began tO spread shrough the crowd that the body uud been removed to Mr, Fisk’s late residence it was treated a8 @ canard get rid of the mulatude of loungers who thronged the corridors ‘of the ote 16 was asserted positively that Lf the body wore te brought down at all that itavould be brought down the main stair case and carried through the hallway to a mag- nificent bier, which would be in waiting for iton Broadway. Otner-reports stated that the body would not ve removed at all from the hotel until aiter the Coro- ner’s inquest, and popular beliel in this subject was rendered doubly cervain by the declaration of some gentlemen that they nga heard the whole thing from the Coroner imaclt, ‘ About one o'clock a& well-dressed lady, with a thics vell drawn tightly around her face, waiked up tothe clerk’s desk and conversed earnestly with that official for a few ininutes, She immediately became the cvnosure for all the curious eyes in the hallway. In fact, aring was formed around her @nd the question passed from mouth to mouth, “Is that she—is that Mansticid f”? Whoever the lady was she soon realiaed the fact ‘that she had becume an Object of great curiosity, and drawing her veil more any ground her she hurried from the building. This lady was not Miss Mansileld, though it was afterwards understood tuat she had earnestly requested permission to see the body of Mr. Fisk. Soon afer Coroner Young and his deputy, Doctor Maish, arrived, and they at once became the object of popular soligitude, dune Coroner looked as) «solemn as uhe oc. casion benhvoved nim, He informed our reporter that he had merely come up to the hotel to announce that Dr. Marsh would make the post: mortem examination at five o'clock yesterday ul- ternoon., Im comiormity with tne wishes of Mr Fisk's itlends the examination wus to be made at the late residence of the deceased, and accordingiy the Coroner iniormed Mr. Waterhouse, the superia- tendent o1 the hotel, that the body could be re- imoved immediarely. The Coroner also informed our reporter that he intended to give authority to Captain Byrues, of the Filwenth precinct, 10 summon @ jury of eighteen of the most igfuential men 10 the neigh- borhood to serve on the jury at the inquest, wuich, he said, would be held at three o’cluck to-day at the City Hall. Doctor Marsh received communications from sev eral prowinent medical mca in the city, who ex- pressed a desire to be present at the post-mortem examination and ‘ THE SEARCH FOR THE FATAL BULLET, In consequence of this, and the expressed wish of Mr, Fisk's relatives, the Coroner decided that Done but medical men should be present at the post- mortem examination, Long aiter tue body was removed the crowds still remained at the hovel discussing tne tragedy and sally confident that they would at least get a ait, at the comin that contatred all that remained of the Colonel of the Ninth. As Cveang approached, and it became ceriain that a maton Lud been stolen on the Curiosity of the crowd, the groups tinned oif considerably, only do go clsewuers and retail them own expert: ence. Up toa late nour, however, large nambers sll remained at the notel, and every story of the Just hours of the victim Was drank in Avith avidity, No matter how exaggerated, All sorts of storics floated wbout: some that Mr. Fisk bad died invok- tug blessings on te head of both Stokes and Mans- field; others that. he died unconscious under the imflucuce of morpiine; others = that he was perfectly sensible to tne last, aud died in the arms of lus beloved wife; but all were lisiened to with an attention which showed how deeply the terribie tragedy had MOVED THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE. It was nearly midnight before the Graud Central Hotel was deserted by all but those who resided at the house, During the day a large number of well- known lawyers and theatrical peopie visited the hotel. Newspaper men were present in shoala—in fuct, almost everybody of any note in the city paid a visit to Lue hotel at some time during the day. AY TH FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL. Long before the usua! hour at which loungers be- gin to assemble On Sabbath mornings the nallway of the Filth Avenue Hotel was crowded yesterday morning. As early as ten O’vlock the diterent groups began to arrive, and the news that Mr. Fisk Was still living was tailed with gencral satisfac- tion, At eleven o’clock the hail was nearly full and @ large number of prominent brokers were present. A report reached the hotel shortly before eleven o'clock that the sufterer was ‘<lving as well as could be expected under the circumstances.” This had the eflect of PREVENTING ANY SPECULATION in Erie stock, though it was evident, trom the num- ber of brokers present and from the anxious in- quiries made on every side, that very little would have set the ball a rolling. A very strong reac- tion of popular feeling seewed to have set a gince the mignt previous in favor of the sufferer, lis name was never once mentioned with hard comment. Expressions ot pity and hopes for his re- covery were heard on every side; while, on tae con- trary, Stokes’ name was mentioned with every form of execration. Shortly atter eleven o'clock the following tele- gram was posted on the bulletin board of the tele- graph oilice:-— GRanp Centra. Horrt—1 o'Clock. James Fisk, Jr, died at fifly-nve minutes past ten this morning. The moment this despatch was posted up there was ®& general rush lor the telegraph operator's room. ‘The sad news was most unexpected, and everybody seemed to be thauderstruck. Some hur- ried away to the Grand Gentral Hotel to obtain fuller Particulars for themselves. Not a few were found who douot ie accur: of the despate! and loudly asserted that re eto “IY COULD NOT BE POSSIBLE.) Later on, wheti the news was confirmed by the arrival of persons wo had been at the Graud Central Hote) when Mr, Fisk breathed his last, the excitement became most intense, Crowds flocked in from ali the clubs, and by two o'clock nearly the whole Stock Exchange Board were to be seen round the hotel, Several Wall street men of high stand- ing dropped in to bear the particulars, and at this time the scene in the large haliway almost bated a taieddl jothing else was od of but the tr: an the lives of the principal actors, and ig A Which led to the murder were extensively canvassed. ‘The crowd was not composed of commercial men alohe, Several legal celebrities were preseat, one of whom, in conversation with @ RERALD reporter, made the following significant remarksi— it has come to that with us here now, sir, that .

At tne St. Nicholas the news created the most profound sensation among the strangers staying at the hotel. At the American Jockey Club also there Was a good deal of speculation, aud the announce- ment of Mr. Figk’s death PRODUCED GREAT FXCITEMENT among the Srigtocrauic members, aud the deceased Was spoken of ouly with respect. A. the Alwe- Tarle Police Commiastoner Smith and a large number of policemen excitedly discussed the ter- nible event.” In im every place of public resort nothing else was taxed of during the Sat or even- Ing. The “Extra Zelegram” announced Mr, Fisk's death througnout the entire city during the aiter- hoon, and the news was recelved with regret every. where, AT THE CLUBS, At was somewhat late in the glternoon before the Manas heard at the different clubs, At the antiattan, the Union ue and the Blossom a eat of excitement prevailed, and Stokes’ act. characterized as that of a dustardly coward. INTERVIEW WITH JAY GOULD. wee ana Yeaterday @ NrRarv reporter visited tho resl- -denee of Jay Goula, te Presiaent of the Erie Rail- road, on Fifth avenue, {0 hear what he had to sey avout the murder of bis friend and asgoniate, Colonel Fisk, Mr. Gould was found at home, but being busy could not see any one at that time, but said if the reporter would call upon him at the Grand Opera House at five o'clock in the afternoon he would try and gee him. Punctual to the time ap- pointed the reporter appeared upon the scene, and elbowing his way through the surging mass of humanity who were endeavoring to force an entrance, made his way to the usher and handed in his card, “Ob, a reporter,” sald that gentleman; “Mr. Gould and the gentlemen up stairs are not see- ing reporters to-night.” ‘Well, take in my card, I believe he will see me, as I come by appointment.” “Oh, that alters matters; I suppose it is au right”’— and right it proved to be, as in a few minutes the reporter was sitting in the luxurious room of Presi- dent Gould, GOULD LOOKS SORROW STRICKEN. “Tam very busy just now,” said Mr. Gould, “but 1fyou remain jor a few minutes I will have some leisure tame at my disposal and will be happy to aiford you what you want.” Mr, Gould was pale, tired and weary looking, and showed evident traces of the mental distress under which he was suffering, In addition to the shock he has receive. by the murder of Fisk, to whom he was devotedly attached, the additional press of business which has poured upon him during the day tendea to depress him still more, but he bore the calls which were veing momentarily made upon him with an astonishing amouat of patience. A kind of sem{-formal meeting of the directors was being hela, and, im addition to the taak of receiving visitors, he had to reply to the numberless questions which were beng offered at every breath, Many-‘ef the richest of our citizens, among them William Heath, tne banker, called, With offers of assistance and help if required, Mr. Gould thanked them for theif good inten- tlons, but dia not avail hithself of their offers, as he said he was yet equal to any emergency. that might arise; Whon some of his numerous yisitors nad been dismissea the reporter’s turn came on, and he said, ‘Well, sw, what can I do for you?” HOW THE CATASRROPHE AFFECTS HIM, “It 1s scarcely necessary to say that 1 came to anterview? you about Colonel £18k.” “I surmised.as much. On what particular points do you wish to be enlightened?” “A goed many; but it is as well to begin at the beginning. ‘The assassination of Fisk was @ com- plete surprise to you?” “Certainly-it was—an awful one, too. I never for an instant imagined that any such tragic end would await Mr, Fisk, as his popularity and the esteem in which ‘he was geuerally held precluded the idea that he would fall a victim to savage vielence,” “Fils death affects you considerably, both in a busi- ness.and private polut of view?” “Oh, -I ‘don’t mind business; but my per- sonal -feclings—I cannot suficiently give expression to the extent I suifer over the catastrophe, We have been working together for five or six years, and during that time not the shghest unpleasantness has ever arisen be- ‘tween us. He was gental in his habits and beloved by all who had any dealings with him.’? “Has Stokes ever been connected with the Erie Railroad in any capacity ?” FISK AND STOKES. “No. lwill tell you how the acquaintanceship between Mr, Fisk and Stokes originated. Fisk met Stokes accidentally, and being attracted by his ap- pearance experienced a tiking for him which soon ded tne former to manifest it 1a a substantial way. He lent him money to start him in business, thinking that he would prove square; but you know how he was deceived in his kindness— was repaid wit the biackesi ingratutude, and the viper he had nourished turned and stung him.” “Was Fisk acquaintea with Stokes prior to his dntroduction to Mrs, Mansfield 7 “That I cannot say. 1 know very little of Mrs, Mansiield and cannot tell anything of her history; neither do know what the relations were which existed between Mrs. Mansfleld and Mr. Fisk. It ‘was a delicate subjecc and } generally avoided 11.” “Do you Know What caused the rapture between Stokes and Mr. Fisk ?”” “No. 1 know nothing of the circumstance. I have no idea what caused the misundersianding be- tween them. I kuow at one time taey were very in- timate, latterly it has not beea so; 2 don’t know ior what reason.’” “What 1s your opinion of the legal actions that have been entered into against Mr. Fisk by Mrs, Mausfleid and Stokes?” BLACKMAILING, “Blackmalling pure and unmitigated. There are Not the slightest grounds for any such actions, ‘The design Was simply to extract money from Mr. Fisk, thinging he could be irightened into compliance With their evil designs.” “bid Mr. Fisk ever utter such sentiments as those ? “Frequently he did. It was his belief in the ras- cality uf the whole proceedings that made him re- solve to contest the trials to the bitter end, The turn they latterly took in his favor proves how geounuless were the charges brought against nim. The motives of Mansfield and Stokes were simply to gratify personal malice and get money, but they have, I am happy to say, been completely foiled in their efforts.” “Mr, Fisk had no intention of compromising?” “Compromise! He had nothing to compromise about, He had never done anything \hat would render such @ course of action necessary; he was not in the slightest aware of Qaything that the r- ttes inigut do, and he wou!d huyve treated the whole avalr as a good joke, but for the petty annoyances to which he has been subjected by the malevolence of the plaimtiffs in the suit.” “How long is it since he broke with Mrs. Mans- fela?” “FISK A CHANGED MAN”? “TI cannot exactly say, but I may tell you some- thing which ts not generally known, Since the dis- sulution of whatever tie has existed between him and Mrs. Mansfield he has been a changed man, He had ceasea to practice many of the old habits of which he has been accused, and was in every sense becoming What ail Who loved him desired he should be. Hs old associations were being rapidly broken up, and if he bad ved some time longer a complete reformation would have taken place in his whole conduct, though I do not for an instant say that his amproprieties Were $9 heinous as they Raye been gene rally represented to ve.” “I suppose reports do not always speak true.” “Not by any means, and in this instance there Was gross exaygeration in many of the siatements made. ‘The sias of Mr. Fisk were proclamed io the world; he made no hidden mystery of them; they were freely blazoued forth, and however one may pode Sig to blame bis judgment it cannot be said that he concealed anytning irom the pulic curtosity, sae Altre Fisk anticipate any violence from Kes? “Lbelieve not; Inever heard htm express any ap- prehensions réiative to Stokes,” “Was he aware that threats had been made Inst him by Stokes”? “Yes, I believe he heard something of the kind, but neither he nor J attached any weight to such rumors, We looked ujon them as idle tales,’? THE OCCURRENCES OF SATURDAY. “Did any of the tragic circumstances of yesterday evening come under your notice ?’” “Not immediately, 1 have since been informed that Stokes lurked around the office, watching for the appearance of bis victim, When Colonel Fisk entered his carniaxe he gave directions to the coach- man to drive to the Grand Central Hotel in a tone loud enough to be heard across tne street. Stokes heard the words, and immediately started in hot pursuit, ikuew nothing more until I was ap) that Colonel Fisk nad been shot by Stokes in the Grand Central Hotel, The instant I heard the news 1 repaired to the scene, and 1 must say 1 was deeply affected by the 3) cle I beheld.” “pid Colonel Fisk recognize you?” “Yes, instantly; lhe was perfectly conscious at the time, and continued so ap to four o'clock this morn- ing. ‘fo show the gooduess of his heurt 1 may teil you how he expressed himself about Stokes after he ‘Was shot last evening.

If we may trust.the assurances of those who knew him best there probably never was 4 man who was more generally misunderstood by the pubitc than dames Fisk, Jr. He was @ man who had a great abhorrence of all hypocrisy, and whose theory of life it was to show to the world his worst side and to conceal very carelully all his good qualities from. the public knowledge. He was ostentatious of his faults, and never could be persuaded to do anything in public except on rare occa- sions, such as that of the Onicago fire, which would lead the public to believe him to be the generous and large-hearted man he really was, During the last four or five years of nis life, in Which it bas been generally supposed that he lived m astyle of unexampled luxury, and spent enor- hava} hank mous amounts on his personal enjoyment, the truth ‘Was that except hig four-in-hand, his box at the theatre, and one or two matters of that kind— which all the world knows about—he lived in a much more simple style than three-fourths of the persons who have his income. At the time of his death, and for a long time previous, he lived in A LITTLE TWO-STORY HOUSE of the very plainest kind, rather dilapiaated, ocou- pying only two rooms tn it, and the onty real luxury im which he indulged was the luxury of unusual cleanliness, Me was probably one of the most scru- pDulously neat and clean persons that ever lived, His personal expenses were, at a liberal estimate, not one-fifth as large as the amount which he spent in providing for persoos in whose affairs he took a kindly interest, who had seen misfortune in life, and whom he felt to be de- pendent upon him tor assistance. He gave away constantly enormous amounts in still more direct charities, concerning which he rarely spoke to any one, and it was only by accident that even his most intimate friends tound out what he was doing. He supported for some years an entire family of blind persons, without ever saying a word about it to his nearest friends, He was particularly GENEROUS TOWARD ACTORS AND ACTRESSES, who, whenever they suffered from misfortune, would always appeal to him. One lady, herseif an actress of considerable repute and of very gene- rous nature, was in the habit of coming constantly to Mr. Fisk to appeal to bim for assistance to aged or unfortunate members of their profession—assist- ance which he never refused. Very recently a lady, who was formerly a New York favor- ite, but who made an unhappy marriage and to escape from a drunken husband had carried her child to England, where, after struggling in provincial theatres for more than a year, she came to almost her last penny, and had barely the means to return to this country, without a change of clothing and without being able to bring away her child, made her case known to the lady before mentioned, who immediately, after helping her to the extent of her own scanty means, sent her with @ note to Mr. Fisk. Mr. Fisk listened to her story, advanced her $260 on the spot, procured her an en- gagement in a theatre at $75 a week and interested the captain of one of the finest seagoing vessels in the case so far as to provide a free PASSAGE FOR THE CHILD totnis country, the captain, in order to please Mr. Fisk, taking great pains to discover the wnerea- bouts of the child and restore it to its mother. ‘These are but incidental illustrations of what Mr. Fisk was cally doing, and always doing witn the utmost privacy and with the greatest reluctance to alow tt to become known, He would rarely sub- scribe to any public charity, because he digi ced to make any pretence of liverality betore the ic. Mr. Fisk’s early career has been set forth in ex- aggerated form’ very frequently, hardiy needs to recited here. Itis not, howevei known that he was left in charge of 8 good oid farmer and his wife in the town of Pownal, Vt., when he was quite a littie child, and remained wit them until he was a well grown boy. When James was five years old his guardian sent him toa district School, where, alter a few days, the schoolmaster thought it necessary to punish the little fellow for some inisdemeanor, Whica went 80 grievously to the heart of tne old farmer that he never would send him to scnool a so that es grew to he ten ears old without learning how to read or write. iis father then him to receive some little education; but this, of Coursey was he A alld and hegoon launched into Iie for himself, He was a PEDLBR IN MASSACHUSETTS and Vermont, and the old ladies of Western Massa- chugetts often speak ol the handsome four-horse ‘eam. which he used to drive, and the excelient gools ‘witch he brought round to them, very much supe- rior to any (hing which they could obtain in country stores. After this he settled in Boston, aud received his busmess training in the house of J. M. Beene & Co., Who, at that tine, Were the most no‘ed dry goods dealers in that city, dir. Fisk used after to tell with gusto how Mr. Beebo, when he had $20,000 to raise ior a day’s payment, Jn those early Gays, devote ms whole day to it, and with Whatawe the clerks would listen to the sigh of relief with which their chief announced that the day's lJavors had Mm successfully concluded. Tweat thousand dollars in those days was as mucl thought of as a milion dollars would vein these. Mr. Fisk then entereu the estabiishment of Jordan, Marsh & Co., and very svon, by ‘kat abilities, commanded the entre confidence house and was taken into parineratp, Up to his death they were his warmest friends, He was sent South by them during the war, and landed in New Orleans with General Butler, passing through many REMARKABLE ADVENTURES with the army, which he frequently accompanied on its expeditions, At the close of the war he dissolved partnersnip with Jordan, lars & Co, and came to Now York, where, as @ protégé of Daniel Drew, ho set up business in partnership with William Belden.

One day Stokes drew out $25,000 "belonging to ‘thé company and announced is intention of keeping it, clainaog that tne treasurer had done something of the same kind, Whether this was’ so or not was disputed and 18 Dot very material to decide, | Mrs Stokes was ARRESTED FOR EMBEZZLEMENT ‘ and committed for ene night to jail, but admitted to bail the next day, and the complaint againat him was dismissed by Justice Dowling, on th ground that the corporation had not be | formed in the manner required by law and thereiore a mere parinership, 80 that any one Oo} the partners had a right to draw all the funds the concern, Mr. Stokes immediately brought an action aguinst Mr. Fisk for malicious prosecution, and resorted to the rather unusual method of giv< ing notice of @ motion fur an order Of arrest, Srot ing with his notice of motion a long aftidayit, Mrs. Mansfeld, in which she set forth various eee Boy a : ar running commen! pate Pp . on the motion, and Mr, soon tniimated that 1t was a matter to be by comproimise. A settlement was made between him and Mr. Fisk, by which Mr, Stokes sold out hig interest in the refinery for a large sum; but he dia not for some time aiterwards settle the claim for malicious prosecution, and finally, at the suggestion of Me. Stokes himself, as his own counsel Nas since sworn and as Judge Brady has decidéd, all matters in dispute between bim and Mr. Pek ‘were referred to Clarence A.

One of his counsel, Who ate tended before Justice Bixby on Saturday 8! that, calling upon Mr. Fisk on the morning before star-ing for court Mr. Fisk, insisted that the exami- nation should be made a lenient one, and that 4 full opportanity should be given to Mr, stokes and Mrs, Mansfield to - WITHDRAW THEIR PROSECUTIONS and, as the counsel was about to leave, Mr. Fisk oailed him back — to say that he bore them no malice and desired to do them no injury; that all he wanted to do was simply to (nose page himself and his friends, and that under no circumstances would he allow himself to ve defended by any means which would bring out the names of any of his friends, EFFECT ON ERIE STOCK, Though nearly every broker in Wall street was at the Fifth Avenue Hote! at some time daring the day, owing to the excitement produced by Mr. Fisk’s death and the ‘lesire to get the fullest particulars there were never more than about ten brokers present at any one time during the day.
