THE COURTS. Interesting Proceedings in the New York and Brooklyn Courts. ‘The Whiskey Ring and the Legality of the Lato Grand Jury—Opening of the June Term—Cases on the Calendar—Another Habeas Corpus in the Case of a Child—A Lottery Ticket Case—Decisions at General and Special Terms of Supreme Court—Impor- tant Business at General Ses- sions, Parts 1 and 2 UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT. The Whiskey Ring—Legality of the United States Grand Jury—Dential of the Motion to Quash. Judges Woodruff and Blatchford held Court at one o'clock yesterday, when they announced that oth concurred in the opinion that the motions to quash the indictments against the “whiskey ring” must be dented. The following in substance are the reasons :— We are of the opinion that the provisions of the Revised Statutes of the State of New York (2 Rev. Stat. 724, secs. 27-28), prescribing the objections that may be taken to the organization of Grand Juries are, by the Act of Congress of 1846 (5 U. 5S. Stat. at Large, 394), made applicable to the federal Courts, and, therefore, that no challenge to the = arra; of jurors or to any person summones to serve as a Grand Juror shall be allowed in any other cases than such as are specified in the twenty-seventh section of the State statute. There is no allegation or claim in the pres- ent cases that the objections which may be made to grand jurors, under the twenty-eighth section, are Orcan be urged against the grand jurors by whom these indictments are found; no urging from preju- dice has been shown or attempted to be shown. For the reasons stated the motions to quash the in- dictments are denied. Opening of the June Term. The Criminal Term of the United States Cirenit Court opened yesterday, Judge Shipman on the bench.

Dispute as to the Custody of a Child. Before Judge Barrett, Inre Ann Petrowiski.—This is an application on writ of habeas corpus for the custody of the re- ator, a child one year old. His parents died shortly after its birth, and gave the child to Mr. Hess, @ weaithy German, who has no childyen, and who, with his wife, adopted it as thelr own, ‘The father left $600 for the child, and its’uncle, Mr. Hubner, was appointed BY Surrogate Hutchings its nardian, In April last the uncle took the ‘child to rooklyn and refused to give it back, upon which Mr. Hess obtained a writ of habeas from Judge Pratt and the child was restored to him. The uncle applied for the suit in this court and the same was referred to Mr. Price to take proof. The report was made yesterday,‘and a lengthy argument ensued between Mr. Philip H.

Opening of the Term—Burglaries and Larcentes. Before City Judge Gunning S. Bedford. The June term of the General Sessions was opened yesterday, Recorder Hackett and Judge Bedford presiding, , The drst business i order was NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JUNE 4, 1872._TRIPLE SHEET, empanélling of the Grand snry, which was ef- Rested amu delay, Mr. Auchincloss being se- lected to act as foreman. His Honor the Recorder disc! the Grand Jurors tili this (Tuesday) morning, when they will be charged and then enter upon their duties. It will be remembered that among the acts passed the Legislature was one empowering the Judges of the Court of General Sessions to hold a double branch of the Court whenever they, in. their judg- ment, saw fit to doso, Although the Recorder sat during the May term without intermission, he and Judge Bedford being desirous to afford all the prison- ers now in the Tombs a speedy trial, the Judges will hold two branches of the General Sessions. The City Judge wiil preside in the room where the Court is always held, Assistant District Attorney Stewart pecniee. and the Recorder in a room occupied one branch of the Marine Court on the floor above, Assistant District Attorney Fellows repre- senting the ple. With these high criminal courts thus efliciently organized itis safe to pre- sume that by the end of the month the City Prison will be effectually cleared of its inmates, so that tne Judges and the prosecuting officers can have an uninterrupted summer vacation, to which they are justly entitiea, g Acquittal of an Alleged Garroter. ‘The first case which the jury was called upon to consider was an indictment against Frank Arlinger and Edgar Williams, charged with robbery in the first degree. The complainant, Charles McLachlan, testifled that while returning home on the 11th of last month he met the accused and his friend, and, after drinking with them in Mercer street, was pro- ceeding along Greene street, when Arlinger put his arm around him and Williams attempted to do so also McLachlan freed himself from Arlinger, and his cries of “Watch” and “Murder’’ attracted the police, Who ran after the prisoners and arrested them. Arlinger gave his version of the affair, stat- ing that after attending the Olympic Theatre he ac- companied the prosecutor to a drinking saloon, but had no intention of robbing him, and did not at- tempt to do so, A gentleman who knew Arlinger from boyhood gave him an excellent character, whereupon As- sistant District Attorney Stewart intimated that he would not feel justified in pressing the charge upon the evidence, The Judge took the same view of it, and accord- ing to his intimaion, the jury rendered a verdict of not guilty. Larceny of a Watch. Thomas and James Halleck (youths), were tried for stealing a watch and chain from the person of Robert Burns, in Fortieth street, on the 11th of May. The boy Thomas was convicted of petit lar- ceny from the person,-and sent to the Penitentary for one year, but James was acquitted. Heaihen “Chinec” in Court. Tah Sang, who was indicted for felonious assault and battery upon Charles Ehyee on the 7th of May, was placed at the bar, and pleaded guilty to assault and battery. Mr. Price said—May it please the Court, I am here appearing for a friendiess Chinaman, and desire to say some words tn his behalf. Judge Bedford—Whenever a man is fricndless, and [believe this poor Chinaman is, lam always disposed to hear anything in his favor. Price read a number of certificates from re- Spectable gentlemen, who testified that the ac- cused was a peaceable man. The City Judge suspended sentence, after which Tah Sang, accompanied by a number of his country- men, left the court room in high glee at the happy termination of the case. Burglaries. Ann Tyrrell, who was jointly indicted with Joseph Logan for burglariously entering the dwelling house of Ann Hartman, 82 Cherry street, on the 24th of April, was convicted of petty larceny, a vest belong- ing to the husband of the complainant being found concealed on the prisoner’s person, She was sent to the Penitentiary for six months, Alexander Strehlow pleaded guilty to burgarlously entering the liquor store of Charles H. H, Myer, No. 7 Battery piace, on the night of the 29th of April, and stealing $21 in money. Tne Judge said the skeleton keys were found upou the prisoner, show- ing that he was a professional thief. Strehlow was seni the State Prison for two years and six months, COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS—PART 2. Burglary and Larceny. Before Recorder Hackett. James Shaw pleaded guilty to an assault with a dangerous weapon with intent to do bodily harm, the charge being that on the 18th of April he stabbed John Marra in the abdomen with a sharp knife. The sentence was two years and six months in the State Prison. Otto Meyer was tried and convicted of a similar offence, the proof showing that on the 22d of May he stabbed Morris Rydill in the face with a knife. There were mitigatory circumstances, and the Re- corder modified the sentence to one year’s imprison- ment in the Penitentiary. Felonious Assaults. Charles Courtley, charged with stealing $50 worth of clothing on the 10th of May, the property of David C. Fulkerson, pleaded guilty to petty larceny and was sent to the Penitentiary for six months, Jaines Martin, who was indicted for burglariously entering the house of Adolph Burgh, 169 Forsyth street, on the 16th of May and stealing $455, pleadea guilty to burglary in the second degree. He was remanded for sentence, fdward Sterns was tried upon an indictment charging him with stealing a piece of silk valued at $128, the property of Solomon & Co.,71 Leonard street. The evidence being insuficient to sustain ee: cHAree, the jury rendered a verdict of not guilty. Thomas McDonnell, charged with assaulting, while an inmate of the House of Refuge, one of the keepers of that institution, named Thomas Buchannon, with a knife, was next placed in the dock. Mr. Howe, counsel for prisoner, applied for an adjournment, owing to the non-attendance of several important witnesses, but his application was refused, The prosecutor stated that THE PRISONER was under his charge on the 17th of May, on Black- weil's island, and refused to work when so ordered; he was in the workshop at the time of his (the prosecutor's) entering the room again to see it the risoner had done his work; he rushed on him as he entered and stabbed him with a knife in the head; there were about forty-eight boys in the room, which was the shoe shop at the time; the weapon used was a penknife; tne prisoner ran “away after inflicting the wound. On cross-examination the prosecutor stated that the prisoner was not in a cell at the time; I had not been drinking; was not drunk at the time; was sober at the time; drank some liquor in my own house, which is about haifa mile from the institu tion; did not drink half a pint; drank A NOGGIN OF WHISKEY AND EGG; had no weapon whatsoever in my hand; did not beat the prisoner; never struck a boy in the insti- tution; never kicked a boy downstairs, William Adams, foreman of the shoe department in the House of Refuge, was next examined. Heard Buchannon calling to me to stop prisoner; tried to do so, but got stabbed by him in the arm with the same knife, which he had in his hand; did not see Buchannon stabbed. Mr. Howe requested the Recorder to make an order for, the production of three bgt who were at resent confined in the Tombs and inmates of the institution of the HOUSE OF REFUGE, to be brought into court to-morrow as witnesses for the prisoner. The Recorder complied with the counsel's request, and the further hearing of the case Was postponed till to-dvy. MARINE COURT APPOINTMENT, The bar and all having professional and official business with the Marine Court will learn with pleasure that Mr. M. J. Cody has been re- appointed Deputy Clerk’ to the Court under the new act creating the Marine Court a Court of Rec- ord, Mr. Cody has filled the same position fora number of years under the old practice, and dis- charged his oftimes very onerous duties with a romptness which elicited the approbation of the ench and bar.

BROOKLYN COURTS. and Timothy UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT. Theft from the Navy Yard. Before Judge Benedict, A boatman named Robert Grensel was convicted of having stolen 150 pounds of lead from the Navy Yard. Judge Benedict yesterday sentenced him to the County Jail for foartecn days. The prisoner had previously been fined $25 in a State Court for the same offence. COUNT OF OVE? AMU TERMINER, Fanny Hyde, the Alicged Murderess of George W. Watson—Application for the Postponement of the Second Trial. Betore Judge Pratt and Justices Voorhees and John- son. The case of Mrs. Fanny Hyde, indicted for the murder of her employer, George W. Watson, at the factory corner of South Fieventh and First streets, E. D., on the 26th of January last, was before the Court yesterday morning. District Attorney Brit- ton, in accordance with previous notice, moved that a day be fixed for the second trial during the present term. Mrs. Hyde was not present. It will be remembered that on the first trial, which took place in April, the jury were unable to agree upon a Verdict, ten of them being in favor of acquitting the prisoner while the other two insisted upon con- victl ng her of manslaughter in the third degree, Mrs. bead Was subsequently admitted to bail in the sum of $2,500, aud {snow in Washington, whither she went because, as her counsel, ex-Judge Morris, stated yesterday, ‘she was unwell, and desired to nd remain with some relations there. Judge Morris stated that he was no proceed with the tial and moved the case off for the term, He sail that when the District Attor- ney’s notice was received at his oftice he was ab- sent in Queens county, and he had not had suil- cient time to prepare the case. Previous to the reception of the notice, not anticipating that the case would be called so soon, he had told Mrs. Hyde that there would be uo objection to her going to Washington, ané she accordingiy went there. District Attorney Britton said that if the counsel intended to mov the case of for the term he would oppose the postponement. He required counsel to present affidavits, as was usual, la order that the \ proceedings might be on record. Judge Pratt directed counsel to submit the afi- davits on Wednesday morning. If the case be put of for the term it cannot be tried until October, when the next Oyer and Ter- miner will be held, THE GRAND JU AGrand Jury was empanelled yesterday morn- ing, with William H. Slocum as foreman, Judge Pratt charged them as usualf and they retired to their room, SUPREME COU3T=-SPECIAL TERM. Breslau Litigation. Before Juage Gilbert.

The parties were the projectors of the enterprise. Yesterday morning Judge Gilbert rendered the following decis ou in the case ‘The defendants have eifectu controverted the equities set laint.

The Court of Oyer and Terminer met at ten o’clock yesterday morning—Judge Ingraham on the bench—to pass sentence upon George Lavery, found guilty of murder in the second degree, in ing the life of Detective Lambrecht, Mr. William F. Howe, the prisoner's counsel, having recovered from his indisposition, was present, as also were District At- torney Garvin and Assistant District Attorney Sul- livan, The court room was densely thronged during the proceedings. Mr, Sullivan’ moved that sentence be pronounced upon George Lavery, pursuant to the verdict of murder in the second degree found against him on last Saturday for the murder of Philip Lambrecht, Judge Ingraham—Have you anything to say, Lavery, why the Court should not pass sentence upon you ? Lavery (repeating in a clear and distinct voice the words whispered to him by Mr. Howe, his coun- sel) —I throw myself on the clemency of the Court. THE SENTENCE. Judge Ingraham proceeded to pass sentence as follows :—George Lavery pu were indicted for mur- der in the first degree and the jury have found you guilty of of murder in the second degree. In order to justify that verdict they must have had some evidence before them that would justify a verdict for the lesser offence; they must have found that you committed this act with intent to take the life of the deceased. I suppose the jury inclined to a verdict of murder in the second degree from con- siderations arising from the fact that there was no long premeditation on your part before the aot was committed; but this does not alter the nature of the crime or change the guilt of the person who committed the offence, In both cases the crime consists in the attempt to take life and carrying out that intent. It is @ source of regret to me, and no doubt to the public, that so many young men are indicted for offences of this character— three during this term of the Court—none of them older than yourself, and my experience is as I have already stated, that the great mass of oifences in this elty are committed by young men. Seldom does it happen now that an old person is brought up charged with the commission of any crime, and I find that the crimes are generally committed by persons under THE INFLUENCE OF LIgvor. Such was your case and that of those who are your associates, You have escaped by the verdict of the jury a result that would have terminated in your execution. I do not feel inclined to lessen the penalty of the law. You took the life of that man under cireumstances not to be at all excused, and I cannot find anything in the case calling for a miti- gation of your penalty, The sentence I must pro- nounce on you is a very severe one. I know not what the ‘result may be to you, whether cireum- stances may lead hereafter to a modification, but it is necessary for the good of society and the proper administration of the law, and as a WARNING TO OTHER YOUNG MEN, of whom there are so many like you disposed to en- gage in affrays careless of results, that the sentence should be such as the law warrants; and now the sentence is that you be imprisoned in the States Prison for the term of your natural life, During the delivery of the foregoing the prisoner | displayed a stoical indifference, characteristic of his previous demeanor. He was removed without | uttering a word, THE STOKES CASE. —_—_-——_—_ Settlement of Interrogatories=The Ex- amining Commissioners Appointed. The interminable Stokes case came up again yes- | terday morning in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, before Judge Ingraham, It will be remembered that astay of proceedings was granted till the third Mon- day of this month in order to allow the Commission to examine Dorman B, Eaton in London and Marcus Cicero Stanley in Paris. The interrogatories to be putto Eaton refer mainly to his connection with the Erie Railwiy Company and the assault made upon him alleged to have been directed by the late James Fisk, Jr. Stanley will be examined in refer- ence to the character of Louis Burrill. Mr. G. A. Sedgwick has been appointed the Commission for London, and J. Meredith Read, United States Consul, | for Paris, The interrogatories were now presented as pre- viously agreed upon, District Attorney Garvin objected to the interrog- | atories to D. B. Eaton, claiming that most of them were immaterial and what was sought to be proved by him was a matter of record here. He also ob- jected to the interrogatories to be put to Stanicy on ben Ags ound. 108 ir. eon suggested that the inte: be submitted subject to exceptions, eee District oni A Garvin finally stated that he had no objection the form of the order or the persons named as commissioners, The order was accordingly made out and the com- missioners will proceed immediately to execure it. Stokes was not in Court, but Messrs, Henry Daly and J. H, Townsend, his remaining counsel, were in Ct og rape mere, oy | that they will be prepared to proceed w: is trial on the desig- nated, the third Monday of this mouth, Core ready to gi Meetings of Workingmen Yesterday—Manual La- bor on Its Muscle—Short Hours, but the Same Pay—Employers Acquiescent— Down the Smooth Stream to Success, The present aspeet of labor affairs augurs well for the workingmen if it is an absolute and positive fact that they will be benefited by the movement now so much in vogne—the eight-hour system, The result of the measures which laborers and artisans are taking at the present season to attain their ends will be more fully determined when the white snows of winter lie deep upon the ground. Work is usually particularly slack at such times, and a gentle hint to the “bone and sinew” that they may find themselves suddenly without employment during the bitter winter months may not prove to be entirely out of place. ‘The eight-hour movement is a good and sound one in many respects. Some businesses entail close confinement, and during the hot season it becomes almost @ positive necessity that short hours should be in order; but in certain trades this is very different. Men can work and men can play. Of course they naturally pre- fer to do the latter, enjoyment having the ascendant vote over labor in most men’s minds, Yet happiness and idleness are not concomitants, and quarrels between labor and capital generaily exhibit evil results in the accounts of the former, when the totals are created by the journalistic re- corders of profits and losses, he gaspipe men and workers on Belgian pavements demand the enforce- ment of the cight-hour system; and the 400 pipe- layers connected with the Mutual Gaslight Company have also suspended work. The Belgian paviors who are Wore on jobs in Jersey Clty, Brooklyn = and Hoboken will all be af- fected by the action of their brethren in this city, as most of them are residents of York. ‘The house smiths seem to be carrying every- thing their own way, most of their employers hav- ing acquiesced in their demands. ‘The stage lines have mostly agreed to accept the demands of the horse shoers, Whose object is to gain fifty cents per day extra; but the picture frame makers seem to haVe an enemy in their camp whom it is dificult to overpower. ‘The German cabinet makers are striking while the tron is hot, and Teutonic —upholi will probably good time in for reform. The slate and tin roofers and cornice makers seem to be car- rying all before them. They are an orderly set of men and deserve to succeed, The marble cutters have taken a decided stand; having freighted the ship of hope with wishes they will sink or swim with her. The piano makers have mostly favorbly considered thy demands of their workmen; but a lively little row in a shop located on 'Phirty-fourth street and Tenth avenue yesterday served to break the monotoi of harmony, The coach painters think they can work the oracle to snit them- selves, and the clothing cutters are thoroughly unhappy, having nothing left to complain about, the eight-hour system having been adopted by all the leading firms. Most of the “boss'? quarrymen have agreed to the terms demanded by their em- ployés, and it seems highly probable that all other trades will follow suit, as their cen hold hands that will insure them the winning of the odd trick.

The strike which began on Thursday last was almost entirely confined to the railroad shoers, the men in which had been working for $3 and $3 26 a day, with ten hours’ work, the socicty rate of wages bein, $4 for firemen and $3 75 for foormen, The railroa men demanded $21 a week, with eight hours on Saturdays, and all have got the advance except about twenty, who are likely soon to be re-em- ployed. The trade does not now demand eight hours a day, but it is intended to strain every efiort to.etfect a good organization, Addresses were made by M » Mulhall, Keegan, Mitcheil and others, Meeting of Boss Horseshocrs. ‘The boss horseshoers held a meeting last evening at Christopher Bath’s, on the corner of Ninth ave- nue and Thirty-fourth street. The object of this meeting was to make an agreement between all the boss horseshoers preventing them from shoe- ing any railroad or companies’ horses while the jourffeymen are on the strike. It appears that the journeymen are now receiving $3 per day, and they have struck for $3 50, the wages paid by boss horseshoers working for the general public, Mr. Rennet was elected Chairman, Mr. Logan Secretary and Keogh Treasurer, After the meeting was called to order Mr. Logan offered the following resolution Resolyed,. That the boss horseshoers, acknowledging THE GREAT METAL CONSPIRACY. Fentekoata! Further Arrests Yesterday and More Develop- ments Made—What Was Found in the Safe of Admiral Nelson—The Prisoners Committed in Default of Bail—The Conspiracy Be- lieved to Have Extended to Europe. The developments yesterday in the case of the purloining of the private papers of Phelps, Dodge & Co., by burglarious means, created considerable excitement in the city and suburbs. The detectives and the court officers of the Tombs were ques- tioned by anxious merchants as to the extent of the alleged conspiracy, but they were very reticent, and reluctantly consented to divulge any informa- tion, The main facts of the case, stripped of all speculations, appeared in yesterday’s IleRALp, and the singularity of the burglary attracted very gene- ralnotice. Never before hasa paraticl case occurred in this country, and only one of a similar cha- racter is on record in Great Britain, as far as can be ascertained. That was in Liverpool or London, nearly a quarter of a century ago, when the mana- ger of a commercial agency bribed the confidential clerks of a banking house to divulge the secrets of the institution, ‘The detectives employed by the firm and C Ward, and the special officers of the street station house, were very active ye: pushing their investigations further, w of discovering other evidences of ptain Beekman terday in th a view | the guilt of Abram Nelson, the Pear) street metal merchant, his penitence and the information furnished by him, Was not prosecuted, | Information thus obtained pointed to other par- | ties than those arrested as participants in the felony, and the firm applied through their counsel, Judge Fullerton, to Justice Dowling for search war- rants. Among the seareh warrants granted was | one empowering Captain Ward’s officers to enter the oftice of the chief of the accused prisouers at Pearl street. Thither detectives McLaughli Nicho’s and Stillwell, of the Second precinct, pra ceeded yesterday morning, where they met the head of the house, Mr. Adtniral Nelson, who is the father of the gentieman arrested. The especial object of this warrant was to ascertain the con- | tents of a safe that the younger Nelson on Satu) day night refused to permit the detec- tives to have access to, alleging that it was the private property of his fathe When the ofiicers visited the premises of the Ne! sons yesterday morning they presented their search warrant to the senior Nelson, who at first refused to open the safe, but after ‘perusing the | phraseology of the document with which they were armed he reluctantly complied with their dei As to see the interior of the It was opened, Mr. James, of Phelps, Dodge & Co., who accompa nied the ofiicers, at once recognized a@ number of the papers found therein as the property of the firm, The warrant also authorized the of to proceed to the residence of the Nelsons in Newark and examine the house, There were other papers and memoranda found that will be referred to further on. After the return to the Beckman street station house of the oiticers and Mr. James a consultation was had with Captain Ward, and as Mr. James fully recognized some of the papers found in the safe in Pearl street as stolen property, Mr. William E. Dodge, Jr., requested Captain Ward to arrest the elder Nelson as.a confederate of his son, The cap. tain promptly complied after learning all tie facts of the search, and his detectives about z one o'clock ‘arraigned Nelson senior before the Captain, In answer to the usual ques- tions Mr, Nelson, who was accompanied by his counsel and friends, stated that his name was Admiral Nelsot tive years, a native of Albany, & merch: upation, residing in Newark and a mar Captain Ward the party into a private rooi, and att y the officers arrat the accused bi hy Hogan, who, in defautt of bail being furnished, committed the aecused for exainination by Judg Dowling ava later day. Whil vdings were being taken in the city ( les Dodge, of the tirm, with de- tectives, visited Newark to examine the residence of the Nelgous, and other members of the firm scoured Brooklyn with detectives in search of James McPherson, a broker, residing in Lafayette avenue latter party returned with their object unaccomplished, as one of yest nals published the name of the broker the suspected parties. So far in the working up of the case the prisoners arrested and arraigned are Admiral Abraham Nelson, and the janitor, Detectives have gone to New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New Eng- land in pursuit of others, supposed, from informa- tion obtained, to be confeder of the Nelsons. In the safe of the elder Nelson was found a num: ber of blank checks, alleged by Mr. James to be the the justice of the strike on the part of the journeymen for the wage of $3 60 per day, do offer them their congrutula- tions on the movement, and also pledge thelr support. Mr. KeoGH seconded the resolution, and it was unanimously adopted. 1 The meeting then adjourned, to meet at the same place on next Friday evening. The Iron Moulders. A mass meeting of the iron moulders was held lastevening at the Germania Assembly Rooms, There was a large attendance. The meeting was called for the purpose of hearing reports from the shops to which deputations had been sent. The reports were generally favorable, but a number of the bosses have announced their determination to not accede to the demands of the men, There is a cAversity of opinion among the men as to the pro- priety of ater | for the eight hours, some of them heard from being willing to work for ten hours provided the wages would be raised. Mr. Fagan, of the Moulders’ Union, then addressed the meeting, and urged upon the audi- ence the necessity of remaining united it they ex- pected to gain their demands. If mass meetings Ww held every month there would be no neces- sity for a strike ; every one would be ready so to act that they could ask what was just with a certainty that they would not be refused. The Union numbers 800 men, and is being rapidly recruited, and, like the other trades, they will be completely successful. Amalgamated Society of Machinists. A meeting of the Amalgamated Society of Machin- ists was held last evening at 52 Stanton street for the purpose of perfecting the organization prepara- tory to ademand for the eight hours. The impor- tance of aMliation with all the other branches of the iron trade was urged inorder to insure suc- cess. The utmost unanimity prevailed, and the re- marks of the various speakers were received with applause, It was resolved that communication should be opened with the branch of the society in England, The Stone Rubbers. There was a general meeting of divisions No, 1 and No, 2 of the Stone Rubbers Union Protective Association at Park House, 227 West Fifty-third street, between Eighth avenue and Broadway, last night. Mr. Michael O'Hare in the chair, A certain member rose and satd that reporters should not be admitted, or, rather, as they were In, to put them — out. He was hooted by the meeting and wilted into his seat. A vote was taken on the question, and it was resolved that the reporters be allowed in the room. The object of the meeting was to take ac- tion on the Eight-Hour law. Much discussion was the result. The “stone rubpers” have got the eight hours already, but the “bed rubbers” and “sawyers,” who work in the mills, have not, and they were last night admitted to the Stone Rubber’s Association ; but it was found after they were admitted they were divided—some of them wanting to work eight hours and others eight hours and over. Mr. Higgins, one of the stone rubbers, made a stirring speech, in which he stated that the medicine was good, and that the rubbers Intended to make the bed rubbers take it, even if they did not like it, because it was good for them, Tosettle the discussion, Mr. Gus Geoghan made a motion that the sawyers, hand and bed rubbers ail strike to-morrow for eight hours, An amendment was made to the motion that the sawyers and bed rub- bers take front seats and be divided on the ques- tion, but there was no division, forall were in fayor of eight hours and no overtime, The United Quarrymen. This powerful organization was in session all yesterday morning and evening. The associa- tion numbers about fifteen hundred men, and held its session in Flynn's, in Seventh avenue, between Fifty-sixth and Fifty-seventh streets, and waited there to hear from the bosses as to whether they would give in their adhesion to the eight hour movement. The quarrymen are receiving $2 50 per day, and have struck merely for eight-hours, not jor higher wages, At alate hour last evening the following boss quarrymen had gignified to the President of the quarrymen, Mr. Thomas Kirnan, through the committees appointed to wait upon them, that they would accede to the de- mand of the lavorers tor eight hours’ work per day :—Luke Curran, Patrick Farrell, Thomas Hitch, Matthew O'Reilly, Widow Kiernan, John Farreil, James rte | Patrick Moran, Josh B. Miner, Jer, Crowley. The majority of the bosses, it is believed, will give in to-day, as they seem to be on very good terms with the men employed by them, ‘The strike will continue to-day, and committees will wait upon the diferent yards, SUICIDE OF A LUNATIC. Coroner Herrman yesterday received information that Gustav Reimers, a patient in the Lunatic Asy- jum, Blackwell's Island, had committed suicide, but in what manner or the circumstances did not ap- Dear from the Warden's written communication, property of the’ complainants. Mr. James also recognized a roll of manuscripts embodying statistics -of the tin trade of the world for many years, which had been col- lected at considerable exp we by the Liverpool house of Phelps, Dodge & Co., and which had sud- denly disappeared from the premises in Clif street, In the residence in Mount Pleasant avenue, Nev- ark, were found original letters from the Liverpool house, and from one of the purchasing partners who recently went out to Russia to close con- tracts for the year. There was also found there a box about two feet long, one foot broad and six inches high, containing much of the most confidential correspondence of the firm and alleged, of Nelson, Jr. It 1s also reported by mem- bers of the firm that in the safe of Admiral Nelson a letter, written and signed by him and addressed to his foreign correspondents, referring to the opera- tions of the house in the English and European markets, was found, and thatin it he states that owing to the fact that Mr. Dodge is a director in the Western Union Telegraph Company he was afraid to telegraph lest his advices might be tampered with. In the possession of the prisoners was also nd a letter of the firm from an ag in Mexico detailing the merits of a newly discovered tin mine, together with the original analysis of the metal prepared by Professor Chandler. ‘These latter papers were missed some days ago, when search was made for them with a view of purchasing the mine, and it is supposed that they were purloined to enable rival houses to secure the franchise of the property. An alleged accomplice of Nelson was arrested yesterday; but as he offered to give very important information he was given his liberty, but put under surveillance, 80 that he cannot escape. It is alleged that McPherson, who has so far evaded arrest, was @ secret agent of another metal house, against which evidence is being worked up, Yesterday telegrams were sent to all the foreign correspondents of the firm, advising them of the revelations made, and the complainants assert that they will at once despatch a detective to Eu- rope to ascertain the ramifications of the alleged conspirators. William E. Dodge, whose silk umbrella was found on Saturday night in the trouser leg of young Nelson, when searched at the station house, left last evening for the Lafarge House, Philadelphia, where he will be found working in the interests of the renomination of President Grant, MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.
