A merchant named Edward Lumley was arrested on Thursday at his residence in West Forty- seventh street by Deputy Sheriff Curry, in pursu- | ance of an order of arrest eranted by Judge Larre- more, of the Court of Common Pleas. The com- plainant in the case is Lucas Thompson, an im- porter, who resides at 141 Weat Forty-sixth street, The aMdavita w which the order of arrest was founded state that Mr. Thompson has iarge bust- ness connections In this country @nd Europe, and that on the Sth of Jansary last Lamley and his brother had hin Arrested on a charge of corrupt perjury, ahd that on the strength of the charge he WS imprisoned, and ouly released after several hours’ confinement by giving $5,000 ball.

Punctually at twelve M. yesterday Gordon Gordon putin an appearance before Judge Brady, of the Supreme Court, his recent unpleasant experiences through fallure of prompt compliance with the orders of the Court having probably taught him a Jeason in this regard. In addition to Mr. Strahan | and another counsel, ex-Judge Porter was on hand to assfst in wielding the legal cudgelsin his behalf. For Jay Gould there appeared the same counsel as heretofore, Messrs. David Dudley Ficld, Henry | 8. Knox and Elihu Root. Jndson Jarvis, Deputy Sheriff, hovered about the court room, keeping an oficial eye upon Gordon. The court room was thronged, many of course having been attracted from curlosity to see the pseudo lord, but the most being the overflow of those unable to obtain en- trance to the Stokes trial, there being no blue- coated narriers here, as at the latter Court, to free admission, ABOUT GORDON'S ARREST. Mr, Strahan stated that before the examination of Mr. Gordon was resumed he would like to make motion to vacate an order of arrest granted by Juage Barrett against Mr. Gordon on the 11th of June. Mr. Root said that this motion was predicated upon voluminous papers which had only just been served on him. Mr. Field hoped that the examination might go onatonce and this matter be atiended to after- wards, Senior counsel for Gordon insisted that the regis of the Court was thrown around Gordon while he ‘was a witness, but that Jay Gould had DOGS OF WAR ready to let loose upon him the moment he was through his testimony. He wishea that the Court would protect Mr. Gordon against the projected purpose of his arrest and disgrace, Mr. Field asked that Mr. Root be allowed time to read the papers, and meantime that the examina- tion might be resumed. Senior counsel for Gordon said that it would take but ten minutes to read the papers. Jndge Brady said he would attend to nothing else until this motion was disposed of, and gave tie | time for this purpose. Mr. Root and Mr. Knox then set assiduously to work reading over the papers in question. Mr. Field entered upon the collation of authoritics applicable to the case. Mr. Gordon’s counsel busily chatted with their client, who seemed to be in the best of spirits, unmindful of the Damoclean sword that might or might not be suspended over his head, and Judge Brady, who had been holding Court two hours, seized the opportunity to vacate the bench and catch a few moments’ respite, On Judge Brady's return Mr, Field read the law on the subject from the Code in a decision in the United States Circuit Court. Mr. Porter invoked the common law. All that was asked was an order to stay proceedings until a motion could be made to vacate the order of arrest granted by Judge Barrett. This, he insisted, came clearly within the jurisdiction of the Court. Mr. Field insisted that granting such ney was equivatent to vacating the order of arrest. In this case Gordon was charged with having in his posses- sion about. HALF A MILLION DOLLARS of another man’s money without security. When Gordon was free from this Court he would hurry off to Canada. He asked for a delay for the purpose of answering the aMdavits, Judge Brady asked if there was any new matter in the affidavits, Mr. Field—There Is, Mr. Strahan—The only new matter Is that the stocks are in my possesston, given by Jey Gould to rt. Gordon, Mr. Ficld asked for delay on other grounds, On Thursday they telegraphed to London, Paris and Hamburg to persons mentioned by Mr. Gordon in connection with alleged business transactions with them. Gordon had stated that Dr. Harscuver, of Tiamburg, induced him to come to this country. They had received an answer f:om Hamburg that no such person lived there or ever had lived the: He asked a postponement of the motion till four P, M., when probably answers would be reccived from the other telegrains, Sentor counsel for Gordon entered upon a lengthy review of all the circumstances connected with the cross suits between Gordon and Gould. He in- sisted the execution of the order of arrest be tied up until the whole matter could be investigated upon the merits. Gordon, he alleged, held these securities under a written contract of Gonld, Judge Brady replied that the statements of conn- sel affected the merits of the case. He would give Mr. Gould's counsel time to examine the new watters. He would propose that the securities be ae to the custody of the Clerk of the Court, and hat would end the matter. Mr. Field—We will consent to the vacation of the order of arrest if this is done. Mr. Strahan—They shall be handed to the clerk— & portion of them to-day and the rest by ten o'clock to-morrow morning. Judge Brady—Having brought this branch of the case to an agreeable ending, 1 will announce another agreeable featurc—a recess for twenty minutes, (Laughter.) Mr. Porter said, on the reassembling of Court, that the intention on their side, in pursuance of the suggestion of the Court, is to leave the securities m the hands of the Court. opposing counsel had drawn an order leaving Mr. Gordon subject to Mr. Field’s order. consent to any such order being made. Mr. Field claimed that the understanding was that the seencitics should be deposited as afated, but that until such securities were adjusted they could not waive the right to the prisoner's arrest. Further than thia there were $20,000 damages, the result ofsaies of stocks In Philadelphia at a loss. Mr. Strahan said it the action was for the pay- ment of specific stocks mentioned in the complaint. As to the matter in Philadelphi: heen commenced againet broker: ent ca Mr, Field insisted that the sceurities in Mr. Strahan’ forthwith, This eubject was discussed at length, and ended another order to be by Judge Brady directin, drawn, and meantime Mr. Gordon was again called to the stand, EXAMINATION OF GORDON RESUMED.

Attempted Assassination in a Private Household—A Divorced Wife and her Revenge—The Parties Well Known in New York, 7 [From the New Orleans Times, June 18.) Between half-past 11 and 12 o'clock yesterday morning, while Mrs. A. M. Holbrook was engaged at her tollette in the second floor front room of her residence, No, 208 Constance sireet, between Orange and Richard, she became conscious that Some one had entered her apartment, and, turning to observe the visitor, was instantly fired upon by @ weil dressed woman standing in the door, Horror stricken at the evident attempt at asgas- sination, Mrs. Holbrook faced her assailant, and after the discharge of a second shot, succeeded tn clutching the weapon. The two women struggled ina death-like contest for some seconds, and the pistol at length dropped upon the foor, At this yuncture the would-be murderersa seized a quart bottle of bay rum, which was standing on the bu- reau, and began beating Mrs, Holbrook with it over the head, It waa quickly shivered into a hundred piecea, and the infurlated woman, snatching a China yase from the mante) piece, continued the attack, ‘The report of the pistol attracted the attention of an aged colored cook, who gave the alarm, and a white servant, named Mary, rushed to the rescue, She seized the assailant (who proved to be Jennie Bronson, the divorced wife of Mr. Holbrook,) from behind, and the present Mrs. Holbrook, succeeding in extricating herself, rushed out of the house. The unfortunate lady, covered with blood, first went in next door to the residence of Mr. Rainey, where a servant furnished her with a basin of water and 4 change of clothing, and the family bein sent, she then took refuge at the residence of Mra, Martin, jast opposite. ‘The attack created the wild- est excitement, the servants left in @ hody, and, in probably leas than five minates, Jennie Bronson eld undisputed possession, A ‘TE WORK OF DEMOLITION. Flushed with triumph, the woman at once com- menced & wholesale attack on the furniture, Mlr- rore, pictures and armoire glasses were shivered into atoms, and whatever articles of jewelry that could be found on the second Noor were scattered about in the wildest confusion. Descending to the ground tioor she procured an axe from the kitchen aud resumed the work of destruction. A china closet, containing apparently two barrels full of dishes and cut glasa ware was completely stripped of its contents, and the promiscuous heap was beaten into fragments upon the hall floor, aide- board, containing castors, allver service and wine glasses, shared the same fate. ‘The glazed doors of several bookcases were knocked into sinithereens, and the dial plate of a handsome clock broken to fragments, the sounding board of a new piano smashed to pleces, and a portrait of Mr, Holbrook hurled from its place on the wall and cut to shreds, An hour later, when our reporter reached the scene, he found the draw!ng room, parlor, dininy room and hall heaped with the desta, and inde had the catablishment been jarred by the explo- sion of nitro-glycerine, or shaken by a first class | earthquake, the demolition could not have been more complete, THE EXCITEMENT. A curious crowd of ladies, children and servants ati lingered in front of the house; but even at that time information concerning (iis nost unfortunate contreiemps was dificult to ae A lady, living in the immediate vicinity, and fear- tng, from the shots, that a murder wrs being per- petrated, sent her servants in all directions ior the poe At least twenty minutes elapsed before an licer could be procured; but at length a little boy sueceeded In dnding Officer Dorsey, of the Sixth precinct, who at once came to the house. MEDICAL AID, In the meantime Dr. Thomas Nicholson, een | on Magazine street, near the scene, had been sen for, and he reached the house first. The doctor found Jenny Bronson in the parlor, She had ceased her work at that time, and was endeavoring to staunch the blood from & slight wound on her finger, The doctor extracted a piece of broken glass from the cut, and hearing that Mrs, Holbrook Was across the street, Tepe aa sen repaired to that domicil, The only remark Jennie Bronson made was “D—n her, | want to kill her,’ Mra, Hoibrook, whom the doctor found to be quite faint from loss of blood, presented a mort deplora- ble picture. The unhappy lady had received a deep gash in front of the forehead, where the hair joins in one an inch long on the left of the head, anda similar wound on the right of the head. The top ia also badly bruised. Her hair was completely matted with blood, and at the first her garments fairly He found no diniculty in checking the flow of blood, and believes thai, al- though Mrs. Holbrook will suffer great pain for bey- eral days, she 1s not in any great danger, THE PISTOL isa small Smith & Wesson seven-shooter. The chamber was taken off very shortly after the weapon fell, when it was found that four cartridges were missing. THR ARREST, Officer Dorsey, upon reaching the honse, at once took Jennie Bronson into custody, but at her solicl- tation procured a cab, and drove with her to Pacanier station, There she was conducted to a room adjoining the clerk's office, and placed in charge of the colored turnkey. Officer Dorsey, at her reqnest, went to the hotel, procnred from her room a travelling dress and skirt, and bronght the garments to the station. She appeared much ex- cited, but declined an interview with any one, Mr. Tlolbrook reached the station perhaps lialf an hour after the arrest, and preferred a charge of shooting and wounding Mrs. Holbrook with intent to kill. THE AccUsED, At a second visit paid to the station house our reporter was admitted to the presence of the ac- cused, She declined making any statement of the affair, ing she only desired justice. She did state, however, that, coming to bor own honse, she had found it in the eer of another woman, and had conducted herself accordingly. This agser- on was made with many tears, At four o'clock Captain Boyd Robinson informed Jennie Bronson that he would be forced to place her in a cell, She strenuously objectea, but at length was induced to enter cell No, 2, where chairs and a stvetcher were placed for her accom- modation, She reached the city from New York yesterday morning, and at once secured a room at Wade's Vpper City Hotel, at the corner of Magazine and Jackson streets, In a conversation with a well. on board the train on Sunday, | he is said to have remarked, in a wild way, ‘I do not time, xpect to be alive twenty-four hours from thie PREVIOUS HISTORY OP THE CASE. The handsome, and by no means uncultivated cause of the above terrible misfortune, was met by Mr. Holborok during the war, and being of a pocket disposition, and apparently ready to receive the atientions of geutiemen, his advances wero en- couraged, ‘They travelled together, became inti- mate, and at (al Jennie Brovsgn went North, . Hotbrook met her again at the Now York Hotel during @ simmer tour, and the intimacy was re- sumed, She then represented herself a3 a widow, and the daughter of an eminent attorney.

He had not been long in the city when Mra. Holbrook, selling her fzrniture, cainé South, She stopped at Havana, and finally, greatiy to Mr. Holbrook’s surprise, reached here, | and, taking rooms at the St. Charles, summoned him to her presence. A series of violent quarrels, | in which he was maltreated in the grossest man- ner, was vi shoitly afterward the result of their meeting, and Mr, Holbrook was compeiled to seck a private lodging. She terreted him out, entered lis apartment, cut up his clothes, and, in fact, acted 80 maliciously that proceedings for a divorce were institated. A reconciliation followed; and, ip another quarrel, she went to his house, on Hevia Kireet, and oroke the mirrors and furniture, and, When the man in charge of it attempted to’ eject her, she bit him so severely that to this day he bears the mark of her teeth. ‘there was another reconciliation, and then an- other quarrel in the editorial room of the Picayune, in which Mr. Holbrook was severely bitten, Pro- ceedings for divorce were again instituted, but when the cause came to trial the litigants were olf ou a bridal tour and tt was dismissed. So the mat- ter went on for years, and finally, in consideration of certain emoluments, she leit forever. They met again at the North, where Mra, Hol- brook, conspicuous as the best dressed woman of the resort, again attracted her husband, and both returning to the city went to housekeep! “ae They lived Gere! together for some time, but the trouble again breaking ont a few months ag sult for divorce was instituted In the Eighth Distr ct Court.
