TOE STOKES-FISK TRAGEDY. Another Exciting Day of Legal Skirmishing. THE OLD FABIAN STRATEGY PRACTISED Empanelling a Petit Jury to Pass Upon the Legality of the Action of a Grand Jury. APPEARANCE OF THE PRISONER. Yesterday being the day fixed upon by Judge Cardozo, presiding in the Court of Uyer and Termi- mer, for the empanelling of @ petit jury to try the weventh demurrer raised by Stokes’ counsel as to the constitutionality of the empanelling and swear- mg in of the Grand Jury who indicted Edward 8, Stokes for the murder of James Fisk, Jr., at the Grand Central Hotel, in this city, on tne 7th aay of January last, Was a most exciting one for prisoner, eounsel, press reporters and the large number of Spectators who managed to secure an entrance into the court room. On the previous day ef the sitting of the Court prisoner’s counsel interposed seven demurrers to the indictment. Six of these were altogether technical, and were everruled by the Court. The seventh demurrer em- Wraced a question of fact which the Court at the tme said should be passed upon by a petit: jury to be selected from the panel summoned to try the in- @ictment for murder, should the Grand Jury be sus- tained. Inthe meantime 500 petut jurorsand filty grand jurors were summoned to appear yesterday, and consequently the court room was more crowded ‘than on any of the previous days that Stokes bas been brought up. But, independent of this, THE PUBLIC EXCITEMENT ik a@ttaching to the murder cf Colonel Fisk and the ‘mal of the man accused thereo! appears —despite Vhe Fabian legal policy of the defending counsel, rather to be on fhe increase than showing any signs of abatem roughout the whole session the broad staircase leaving to the court rooms, the wide space fronting the doors, and, indeed, away back to the expansive rotunda were crowded by hundreds of people, anxious to get a glimpse of the arch culprit on his way to and trom the Court, and to learn whatever patch of news so.ne tired listener Within would bring to the outside as he sought the fresh air for relief from the over-crowded and over- heated room inside. THE PRISONER, At hall-past ten o’ciock te prisoner Stokes, closely guarded as usual by a strong posse of deputy sheriffs, with Sherif rennuan by his siae, was brought into the court room and at once took his lately accustomed place near nis numerous counsel, How terrible a seat it 1s vo him, and what a terrivie ordeal he bas hud to go through waile he occupied at day after aay trom his ursi- appearance in court to be pul upon tia for his ile up vo the present, and what other days of agony ne will have to en- ure before he leaves it tor the last tme it would Rot be dimculi to imagine. As he appeared yester- day it was easily ooservabie inat he is very much shaken m nerve, and that, in fact, mothing but the assurances of nis counsel or his own hopes to that end that the day 4s yet distant When he shal lave finaily to put him- if “upon God aud bis country” lends him courage to go through the iborny path Chosen for himself 4m the very strengh and lieyday of his life. There 4s, when not communing with counsel or exchang- ing a few words with a (ricuu, a restlessness in his eye and an occasional twitcaing of the muscles of the face that betokens an inward cousclousness of ‘the perils of his position, the effect of the retro. spect of the course of iuie Which led to it and which Can never be retraced, und a feeling of horror at the @ark and dismal termination that Les beyond, He ‘Was uressed with bis usual tasie and bore Limself ‘with outward ease, paying deep atiention, bowever, ‘Wo the questionmy of the jurors and tue arguments of counsel on all the points raised for and against the acceptance of eacit juror.

Something About Mr. Dennis, the Late Re- ceiver—A Modest Claim—Meeting of tho Depositors=The Election To Be Heid. ‘Ihe victimized depositors of the Market Savings Bank held a meeting yesterday afternoon in the First District Court room, The meeting was adver- tised for two o’clock, but in consequence of the ab- sence of several of the committee it was not called to order until half-past two, The chairman cailed the meeting to order, and the minutes of the last meeting were read and approved, |. The CHaiRwAN stated that he had seen some of the depositors who were not aware that the bank was declared an involuntary bankrupt. For their beneiit and also for others who might be 1m blissful ignor- ance of the same he now mentioned it, He further intormed the depositors that Mr, Dennis—who had pledged his solemn word that he would charge nothing lor his services as receiver—had presented A CLAIM FOR $2,000 for his services a8 such for two days. This claim, he sald, was presented before Judge Sutherland, and that he (the chairman), in the name of the deposi- tors, had protested, (Applause.) Another proof that Mr. Dennis was dishonest as well as untruth. ful was to be found in the fact that the committee had just laid bare a litue operation of ms, This «litte game” involved some $29,00v. 1t appears that he obtained several loans from the bank, amounting in the aggregate to the sum above men- Uoned, and althougn his name does not appear on the vouchers for the same the committee have roof of his doings. The money obtained in the loans Was invested in lands, and for hia part of tne work Mr. Denuis received a handsome bonus. In concluding his remarks the chairman stated that under the Bankruptcy laws the depositors were allowed tnirty days to Choose un assignee or trus- tee, and to go toa registrar in bankruptcy with their bank books to prove the bank’s muebtedness to them. Every depositor will have to vote tor the assignee or trustee either tn person or by proxy, If he cannot come to the meeting to vote he will have to give “power of attorney’ to some one else to do so for him, A meeting torche purpose of ELECTING AN ASSIGNEB will be heldin about ten days trom now, which Wl be duly advertised. A member of the com- mittee then made a motion that Mr. Hodnett ve requested to withdraw from the committee. The member gave as his reasons for making this mo- tion that Mr, Hodnett had been, and was at present, in familiar intercourse with the officials of tue bank, and that he boastingly declared himseif a friend of Mr, Dennis, and that he furtaer stated ciat no one could make him believe Mr. Vennis guilty. In response to the mover and the meetlag in general Mr. Hodnets defended himself in ths wise:—“Gentlemen, if I was now or ever had been a friend of the officers of the bank I might have been told to draw my money, as others were. if I was a Iriend of the bank oiticers I would not have informed the committee how they coull come into the possession of FIFTEEN HORSES BELONGING TO CONKLIN, and might now have the $700 which I lost on the bank becoming bankrupt.” A voluntary subscrip- tion was taken up to defray expenses of adver- tising, && The meeting then adjourned, and will meet in the early part of next week to go into an election.

HORSE NOTES, On Saturday last the Eighth avenue road was quite good in places for speeaing, and advantage was taken of it by many roadmen, who embraced the opportunity to shake up their trotters a bit, Quite a trial of speed (ook place between the gray mare Stella, driven by G. Hopkins; R, Taggart’s chestnut stallion, and R. J, Anderson’s fast little mare Birdie, The mare Stella showed the most foot and came out the winner, but it was a merry rattle, and all hands seemed pleased with the excitement it afforded. Henry Casey, with a black mare, and Thomas Trimble, with Brown Rover, had a neiguborly trot, which made a very pretty race, Mr, A. E. Noble, with his gray horse, took the honors for heavy weights, Mr. Robert Bonner drove his fast four-year-old colt Startle to a top wagon on Saturday alternoon, and the beauty showed a 2:30 clip going by the Club House, This colt, when be gets age, must take the front rank among the trotters. Mr. Albert Lee owns two very promising young horses, which he uses for road purposes—one a Hambietonian and we otner by General Knox. THE NAVAL ACADEMY.
