Luke Willis, when taken into custody, uld not realize that his wife was dead, and labored under the impression for a long time that poe Sea) were only trying to frighten ium, f) en placed on the stand he gave the following ersion of the affatr:—! he husband of de- oe } we resided corner of Union and Carroll itreets; Tam forty-four years of age and married leceased about six years ago; my wife has been jubject to fits for somie time; on Monday afternoon Fie, had somo ttle trouble at the house gnd I tarted to go away; I went to the Overseer of the or and t an order for tho Alms House r myself; I took a little boy with me named john Thompson to show mo the way, be- use I am_ blind and cannot see where I an going; I got on to the het road to ithe Almshouse And could not get in; I returned, nd when I got near Perry street my wife met 6 and I told her that Ihad obtained an order for © Almshouse; she grew excited and threw her- if into a tertible passion; I lifted my foot and id, ‘Now, -Mary, do, for goodness sake, let me Slone on tho pubile streets, and what you have got to say to me, let It be said when we get home;” I truck her with my foot, but where or how I can- ‘ot say; she did not fall down, but chased me down ome} ‘she struck me before I kicked her: I am t oe ot ~=hoar any complaint of her being rounded; I did not hear that my wile ‘was dead until some time in the night, when I was under arrest in the City Hall; I had no Knife about me, .and never carry one; I do not even usea knife at the table; I do not know how old my wife was, but I imagine she was about the same age as myself; she had been married previously, and her name before I married her was Mai cGuire; Tam not aware that sue hada fit after kicked her; my wife did not come into my house r the afair on Perry street bridge, but went into the house of Mra.

OMicer Colville testified—I arrested Luke Willls on Monday night, about eight o'clock; I was in company with officer Chamberlin; some children informed us that Luke Willis _was in the woodshed with a hatchet in his hand, and that he had wounded his wife; we found him in the house, behind the stove; we asked him what was the matter, and he sald he was trying to get some kindlings to light the fire; the man was intoxicated when we ar- rested lim, and in answer to questions about the trouble he said the boys had been plaguing him; we wore told by some children that Luke Willis had ushed his Wife down, and a man informed us that 1. Ribble said the woman would die; we then ar- rested Luke Willis and took him to the City Hall, VERDICT. We, the jury, met to inquire into the death of Mary Willie, Tad that she died from the effects of a ‘wound on her right leg, and that that wound was received by a fall on some instrument in a quarrel with her husband, Luke Willis, near Perry street bridge, in the city of Trenton, on Monday, August 5, 1872. JERSEY CITY OR PATERSON—WHICH? ‘The Erie Company to be Exempted from Local Taxation for Ten Years if they will Remove their Repair Shops to Paterson. In the Paterson Common Council on Monday night the proposition to donate the Erie Company $100,000 if they would Pee. their Prepalr and construction shops to that city, was the subject of considerable discus- sion. General Hoxsey, the City Attorney, delivered ‘n opinion to the eifect that no such donation could fe legally made. The Council then unanimously assed a resolution to exempt the Erie Railway From local taxation for the period of ten years if they would move their shops to Paterson, and the Board bind themselves to memorialize the Legisla- ture to legalize the act. Mayor Tuttle was directed to wait upon the Erie Company with this offer, THE BOSS HORSESHOERS, The Price of Materials and the Rate of *s Wages Discussed. The members of the Union of the Boss Horse- shoers assembled last evening at Milleman’s Hail, Seventh avenue, corner of Twenty-sixth street, for the purpose of transacting business of importance relative to the further development of thelr recently established organization. On their ar- rival, however, it was found that the premises had been sold during the day and the hall was closed. ‘The Boss Horseshoers, however, secured a spacious room on the opposite side of the avenue, and there proceeded to organize a meeting, Mr. Join Graham occupied the chair, Mr. M. Keogh acted as treas- r, and Mr. M. Montgomery as secretary.9 { After the calling of the roll, which ‘contained ‘twenty-four additional members, a motion was made for the election of oficers, but was laid over until the next meeting. The names of over twenty- five new mombers were then enrolled, and, accord- ing to a ae! up by the secretary, the organ. ization numbered over one hundred and twenty- five members, all residents of the city of New York. The Chairman then announced the object of the meeting to be specially for the election of officers, which was laid over, and also for the pur. ose of arriving at a definite understand. Ing relative to the price of horseshoelug and other job work fn connection with it. oa bee rice o tion, therefore, It was resolved that the horseshoeing be not less than $3 per set of shoes, and also that each member preserve in a public art Of his shop a sign to that effect, Iron, it was alleged, had advanced from $97 to $187, which gave an increase of $40 per ton, a fact whch told heavily upon the income and expenditure of the boss horse- shoers.

Flour was in better request from the same cause, with the market firmer, as well for family and good superfine as other grades, At tho close the market was quict. The cotton market was firmer, with a fair inquiry, at 205sc. for low middling and 215¢0, for mbidling, - GOLD 11534 a 11534. The gold market opened steady, with sales at 11644 @ 11534 until the afternoon, when the premium advanced to 1153; upon the continued heavy cus- toms receipts, which are stated at $900,000 to-day. The borrowing rates show a continued demand for cash, gold being 1-64, 1-32,6and7per cent, The Assistant Treasurer paid out to-day $0,000 on ac- count of five-twenties redecmed, and $330,000 for interest. The entire coin redemption of five- twenties to date amounts to $59,393,000, The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as follows:—Gold balances, $4,619,597; currency balances, $5,344,460; gross clearances, $78,135,000.

THE STOCK MARKET WAS MORE ANIMATED than yesterday, with a free movement, but on the whole lower. Erie stiffened upon tho positive an- nouncement, which, it may be sald, is authentic, that Mr, Drew had closed out his famous contract for the delivery of 50,000 shares, any time up to the Sist of December next, at 65. The particulars of the settlement, which occurred some days ago, are, of course, private, but the agents of the purchaser Of the shares state them to be satisfactory, while, = Dan Drew reat eee held the option, the same pleasant theories held in regard to the effect of this settle- ment, botn of which appear to have influenced deal- ings upon the Stock Exchange to-day. One is that the closing out of this contract removes a powerful bear influence.from the market, largely interested in depreciating the value of the stock, while an- other is that, with the removal of this great short interest, and the stimulus it gave to the creation of a further short interest, lesser but more readily ex- cited, the stock loses one great element of strength. Thus, while in the earlier dealings, before the fact of the settlement had been accepted, Erte declined to 48, in the afternoon there was quite an active movement between 493; and 4874, the market closing firm at 49% In this connection it is also denied that any seat has been offered Mr. Drew in this new direction. The present Board assert their entire independence of this transac- tion, which they state to be wholly a private one, and that the work they have in hand of clearing away the débris of former mismanagement, while endeavoring to introduce reforms into the existing control, will occupy their whole time irrespective of stock movements. The other stocks which at- tracted attention were Pacifico Mail and ©., C. and I. C., these, however, with the entire list, showing only unimportant fluctuations, At the close St. Paul exhibited a sudden weakness, leaving olf at 55M & 553%.

Crowds of Sailors Engaging Themselves Under the New Act—Strenuous Opposition from the Shipping Masters and Boarding House Keepers—A Conspiracy to Keep All American Ships in Port—An Ap. + pealin Course of Preparation. Yesterday afternoon a reporter of the Henaue paid a visit to the Seamen's Exchange, situated at 189 Cherry street, to witness tie first day's work. ing of the new Seamen's act. Around the entrance were gathered a motley crew of seafarers, discuss- ing the pros and cons of the new law. Swarthy Itallans, sturdy Britons and excitable Frenchmea were all volubly explaining what they knew about tho now state of aifairs, Looking on the animated scene from neighboring street corners were tobe seen several scowling sailors’ boarding house keep- ers, who now feel that their prey has escaped them and that the day of sallors’ rights has arrived, Passing into the building Captain Duncan, the Shipping Commissioner for the port of New York, is met. The bronzed face and well knit frame of the former commander of the Quaker City are too well known to the community to need dwelling upon, In reply to a question ag to whether ho could spare a few minutes to tell the writer how matters were progressing at the Exchange he said he would willingly give all the information he could, Captain Duncan then said: “We've done a smashing business to-day and yea‘ terday, and have had more men around us ‘than w know what to do with, Look over at that desk, continued the Captain, ‘where Mr.Pentz {8 engag: ing sailors, You see there are three times as many there as he wants. We have already engaged twelve to fifteen crews, composed in round figurea of some two hundred men, and all steady, od fellows. When there is a lack of sailors we can send out our runners, who will provide ua in atl pRODApUity, with all we require; but that will probably not be for some time, for as winter ap- proaches there are always three sailors to be had for every single berth that has to be filled, We have received a great many visits from prominent ship owners, who see that the act is destined for the mutual protection of captain and men, and have promised all the coBperation that lies in their ower, Old sea captains also have said that the jaw 1s just the thing that was wanted, and among their number may be mentioned Captain Barstow, ot the bark Sandy Hook, who has followed the sea for over forty years."” ORDERS FOR CREWS, Turning to several account books on the counter av Deputy Commissioner Jenks’ oMfce, Captain Dun- can stated that they were constantly receivin, orders for crews, those for steamships being kepl in @ separate book trom those of the sailing ships.

Affairs in this department of the United States government are assuming a settled aspect. While the greatest activity prevails in the several co-or- dinate branches, the great rush may be said to be over. The number of warehouse permits granted since the Ist instant las kept the warehousemen busy day and night in delivering the goods, When The it ‘ts taken into consideration that in five worki! days nearly six millions of dolars have een collected at this single office, and that under a reduced tariff, some idea can be formed of the immense amount of labor erformed by the soe of the Custom House, Zach man has his special duty to perform, and does it quietly, without any flurry, or, os 1s unfortunately the custom in some public departments, bluster and overbearing manner, Collector ‘Arthur has issued strict injunctions to all his subordinates to use the utmost politeness to all having business fransactions in Ged Custom House, and his instruc- tions are obeyed.

Under the new act sallors cannot have their traps and their pert seized and put in vile dens, called sailor boarding house: where they are fuddied with drugged whiskey a forced to give an order for thelr wages, which never reach their hands, As soon as the landlord has run him suficientl; try Ge) Jack 1s regres ston mba anttal ; on board ‘a'silp, Bavnd Ais OT Pant eosans Bet Peg and his wages for his prey ond voyage are cap- tured by the landlord, who chuckles in his sleeve at the factie way in which he has duped the com- fiding mariner. “Now, the saflor must be present and sober when paid off, hig accounts must have been ex- amined by the Commissioner and fairly made out, and contain no false charges against him for money advanced or fines." THE PAYING OFF DEPARTMENT FOR SAILING SIIP® The operations of this department according Renae ea of the act will not be commences till Thursday, the 8th, Each man will be paid sepa- rately, and.an offer will be made to take what money he may choose to set aside, and place it im the savings bank connected with the institution, Application has already been made for the pay- ment of wages on board the Western City, which hay ppene to be a steamboat, and will, therefore, be paid on board. CAPTAIN DUNOAN’S FINAL SHOT, “Mind me," said he, “ido not call all the sailos boarding house keepers bad men, for there are some very respectable men in their number; but I claim that sailors have the right to board and sta) where they will, like any other privete individu without the interference of any sailor runners ane crimps. There are boarding houses conducted im the most respectable manner, and to which sailors return voyasre aficr voyage; the pity is that there are not more ofthem."? THE FALL OF TAMMANY, Tn 1866.0 State law was passed by which a coms mission of five was appoluted to investigate the subject of licensing sailor boarding houses, and f was elected President of it, and for four years I fought this battle single-handed, but Tammany Hall was too strong forme. When Tammany tumbied f caused the arrest of upwards of one hundred of these sailor boarding house keepers. Sixty of themt are now keeping thelr houses according to law, and about forty aré fighting it. Mr. John McKeon, their counsel, contends that the law of 1866 was unconstitutional, I have hopes that the trial of these cases will take place next week. If in ¥ can cause their houses to be closed, and ifidonotI can refuse to ship sailors from these {ll-conditioned houses, and give the preference ta those conducted on @ respectable basis. I have been fighting these men for years back, but I think I’m ahead at the present moment. I have known the port full of sailors, who would willingly have shipped for $15 a month, but the satlor andiords demanded $30, and this sum had actually to be paid. But such Ciel ra ag are at an end now and for ver in this country. CONVENTION OF UNITED aera COMMISSIONERS FOR: SEAMEN. Friday a convention took place at the sallor's xchange of the United States Commis- sioners for Seamen between Maine and Maryland, at which eight or ten of the principal ports were represented. The appointment for.the Southerm orts and for the Pacifle coast will be made by the respective Circuit Courts when necessary from the magnitude of the trade. %!m minor ports the Collector ia directed to act as pergaaneut or tem- porary Commissioner, Thanking Captain Duncan for his courtesy the reporter withdrew, i THE OTHER SIDE OF THE QUESTION. On Monday evening a gathering of over a hun dred members of the Sailors’ Benevolent Boardin, House Association took page at Botanic Hall, Kas! Broadway, Deputy Sherif Monahan, of 11035 Ce street, presiding, and it was unanimously resolv that shouid any one of its members ship a sailor at the Sailors’ Exchange on board an American ves- sel he should be expelled from the association, and it was further agreed to try and ee on foreign vessels, and to prevent, by all means in their power, the shipment of sailors on board American vessels, It was thought by the associa- tion that the war against Captain Duncan would be. ashort and a decisive one, for they say if satlora, have their gee bills to pay they must ship where lords please. ee Wiig sitrrixa MASTERS, It was rumored among the shipping masters. yes- terday that a test case, by means of a mandamus, against the Collector of the Port, will be brought forward to-day, and the case chosen will be @ brig, which shipped its crew last week, but, on account of the fire at Hunter’s Point, was unable to clear, and sill remains in port, ‘The Collector has stated, ho will not clear her under the old régime, and; Captain Duncan says she comes under the new act, bat is ue to forego his fees, considering tt am exceptional case.
