& ~ ANOTHER DOMESTIC TRAGEDY. | —_—-———. Probable Murder of a Woman by her Hus- band in Westchester County. ‘Zhe Demon Rum at Work Again—A Child Tell- ing the Story of Her Father’s Bratality— Shocking Appearance of the Deceased— Verdict of the Coroner’s Jury. The usually quiet little village of West Farms ‘was yesterday thrown into a fever of excitement, ‘caused by the intelligence that Ann Ennis had ween murdered by her husband at their residence In Cross street. The death of the woman was dis- ‘wovered in the mest accidental manner by Mr. H. Beofiekl, a county constable, who, when passing through Cross street yesterday morn- 4ng, was informed by some boys that Ennis’ wife was dead. Mr. Scofleld, who knew the character of the persons, was not @low to suspect that something was wrong, and dmmediately wen#to & groggery on the corner of Main and Cross streets, which was a favorite resort ef Ennis’, and there found the husband, who in- formed him that his wife was dead. Mr. Scofield insisted on Ais going to the house with him, which, after much hesitation, En#is consented to do. The house is a double frame, very dilapidated ‘and dingy in appearance, and 1s occupied by four families. imcluding the Nanises, whe rent the Becond floor, which consists of two rooms, In the largest of these two Mr. Scofield found the pody of ‘Mrs, Ennis stretched at fuli length on the floor. The room being dark he could see nothing but her form, and so raised the blind, when a most sicken- ing sight met his eyes. The woman’s head, which ‘was within a few inches of the stove, was covered with cuts, and the congealed fon BLOOD HAD MATTED AND STIFFENED HER TATR. Her face was disfigured beyond all recognition, while her hands and breasts—which were ex- pesed—were covered with bruises and much dis- Qgured with black and blue blotches, Mr. Sco- Seld now knew that the woman had been mal. Sreated, and as he was about to leave he noticed that Ennis’ boots were covered with blood and cone Bequently arrested him. When broaght to the Tremont station house En- fais denied all knowledge of the cause of the death of his wife. He says when he awoke yesterday morning he found her dead on the floor. The blood ‘on his boots, he maintains, came from Bucking’s skin dressing factory, where he isemployed. The reporter saw Ennis in nis cell yesterday, He isa short, thick-set man, with low forehead, small eyes and coarse mouth. To all the interrogatories put to him by the reporter he re- turned monosyllabic answers. He does not re- member anything that happened on Tuesday night, mnd says that he first knew of his wife’s death when he awoke yesterday morning. During the conversation he was very nervous and had the ap- ‘pearance of a man of intemperate habits, THE CORONER'S INQUEST. At five o’cloek yesterday afternoon Coroner Mil- Aer held an inquest. The first witness called was Mary Ennis, the eldest daughter of the deceased, She is a remarkably intelligent and handsome child of ten years of age, and told her story with an ppoarent frankness which impressed all with the truth of what she said. When Coroner Miller asked her if she knew what an oath was she said she did not, but she was conscious of what would me of her if she told a lie. The following is her testimony :— My name is Mary Ennis; am ten years old; have two sisters and one brother; father came home at Malf-past twelve in the day; he was very drunk; mother was reading a paper; he kicked over the rocking chair that she was sitting on, and then hit her.en the mouth with his clenched fist; mother then fell on the floor, and he began to kick her in the nead and face; she tried to get up, but he kicked her in the face and knocked her down again; she did not cry nor make any noise, @ud never tried to get up after she was knocked down the second time; she breathed heavy aad short, but did not stir; when she was lying on the floor my father caught her by the throat and took a big knife and was going to stab her; I saw him and ran and took the knife from him; he then took up a pair of scissors and-with them tried to cut her throat, but my little sister Annie caught his hand and wrenched them from him; the knife was a —. one and sharp on the top; I think it was used for cutting leather; the scissors ‘were about eight or nine inches long; father then ‘Went out, but came in again in a short time and Degan again to beat mother; it was after he re- ‘turned that he tried to stab her; it was about three @’clock; lam sure of the time because my little ‘sister and brother had just come home frem school; father went to bed about six o'clock and woke _ about half-past seven; mother was breathing har all the time; I then went to bed, and this mornin; father woke me and told me my mother was dead. ‘The next witness called was Mrs, Caughlin, who resides in the same house as the Ennises, She said that beth the man and woman had @ bad mame in the neighborhood, and coi > gpa | she did not associate with them; she h @ noise in their rooms on Tuesday night, and knew that the ™man and wile were fighting; but as it was an every-day occurrence she did not take particular motice. She heard Ennis screeching and howling in. a wild way, and aiso heard a moe like that of a hammer; knew the ‘woman by sight, but had never spoken to her: she id not Know to her personal knowledge that ‘Mrs. Ennis was in the habit of getting drunk; only heart it from the neighbors; saw the body on the Moor yesterday morning, when Mr. Scofield entered the house. \ THR DOCTORS’ EVIDENCP. Drs. Henwood and Rodenstein, who performed ‘the jost-mortom examination, submitted the following evidence:—They {ound that deceased had sustained five severe cuts upon the head, which had opened the scalp; one im- mediately over the right temple was the weverest and had congested the brain, but in their estimation there was not suficient to cause death; they discovered that deceased's kidneys, liver and heart were in 4 very unhealthy condi- tion, and think that the violence she was subjected to may in some degree have accelerated her death. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that Mrs. Ennis came to her death at the hands of her usband, PROBABLE MURDER Anthony Callahan, aged thirty-nine, of 447 West Fortieth street, threw a teacup at his wife, Ellen, last might, striking her on the left temple and wound- ing her dangerously. The screams of the woman attracted the attention of Omicer Bradley, of the Twentieth precinct, and he went into the’ house. Callahan was at the door of his room, endeavoring to get away, when the policeman arrived and he was arrested. On learning the facts of the case Cap- tain McElwaine sent the surgeon of the district to attend to Mrs. Callahan’s wounds. He feported afterwards that she was in a ery dangerous condition, and Callahan ‘was locked up. The skull was. fractured So that Mrs. Callahan's life is not expected to be of dong duration. She had several fits of convulsions oe night, and Captain McEiwaine was obliged to ‘ave OMicers in the Louse to look alter the woman, Callahan will be sent to Court this morning, WOMAN SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT. There was & meeting last night at Robinson Hall, 4m East Sixteenth street, near Broadway, in favor of the woman suffrage movement. The nall was about three-quarters full, though the main attrac. Sion of the meeting was absent. It had been ex- pected that Mrs. Cady Stanton would deliver the main speech of the evening. But it was an- mounced that Mrs. Stanton had mistaken the even- ing of her engagement, having vee taken for a meeting elsewhere. In place of Mrs, Stanton Mrs, Charlotte B. Wiibour took the stand. She de- fivered the most advanced principles of woman suilrage in the mildest of tunes. She said that there was no human law which did not ive the same right to women as it id to men. By what right did men claim to exclude ali women from political | tif which they themselves enjoyed ? Was it he mere result of force? Was it because a man ‘Was stronger than a woman?

A meeting of colored men was held last night in the Powell House, in Thompson street, to take into consideration the subject of their civil rights in this State, as affected by the bill introduced into the Legislature last Thursday, Rev. William F. Butler was elected chairman, and Messrs, Titus and Freeman, secretaries. Mr. Butler, at whose instance mainly the meeting waa convened, stated its objects and read the bill, It 1s very sweeping in its requirements. It wipes out the word“white” in every legislative enactment or public document in this State in which any distinction of color or race or condition is now made or aMirmed. It gives to colored people the right to travel in any public conveyance by land or water, to visit theatres, lodge and board at hotels, taverns, &c., in this State on the same terms and conditions as white Persohs are now admitted to and are treated in those places. It imposes @ fine of not more than $500 nor less than $100 for every violation of this act upon conviction, and is in every respect, but in &@ more limited sense, a copy of Mr een SUMNER’S CIVIL RIGHTS BILL in Congress. The colored le ef this city and State want the bill passed, and this moesing discussed the best methods to give their inanenes its tr it be the Legislature the passage of Dill. ssor CHARLES L. REASON thought such a meeting at this stage of the movement would be premature. Mr. P. 8. PoRTER thought it would be too expen- sive as well until they first measured ir strength and their numbers. Mr. WILLIAMS Sageeared that petitions could better be circulated through the churches and sig- natures obtained, and then at some subsequent time @ mass meeting might be held in one of public halls of this era Mr. Joun J. ZvrLE, cashier of the Freedmen’s Bank, moved that the meeting resolve itself into a committee of the whole to obtain signatures and to further the objects of the Tenaya Subse- quently the, meeting resolved itself into the ‘‘Citi- zens’ Civil Rights Committee of New York City and County.”” During the progress of the meeting Hen. J. Milton Turner, United States Minister to Liberia, entered and was introduced to the com- pany. He made a tew remarks expressing his sym- pathy with the movement and wishing it success, which he anticipated from the hands in which it is. THE STATE COMMITTEE OF COLORED REPUBLICANS are to meet in Albany on the 27th inst. to take measures for getting the colored people of the State to endorse the bill before the Legislature by petitions and otherwise and to urge its passage. Alter the adjournment of the meeting an in- formal discussion took place upon Cuba. Some of the members present did not think it right to trouble themselves about the freedom of Cuba until they themselves were entirely free and had ob- tained all they want. Others, however, believed that their condition was infinitely superior to that of the people of Cuba, and that they ought to pour petitions into Congress and ask for American in- terference to abolish slavery in Cuba and to de- clare the island free from Spanish influence and control. A Cuban anti-slavery society exists in Washington, with branvhes in other cities, and it is proposed to organize a branch in this city among the colored people. No action was taken on the matter last night, inasmuch as the meeting was not called in this behalf, =~. THE BROOKLYN INCENDIARIES, Burning Dwellings for Robbery—The Accused Held for the Action of the Grand Jary. , Last week, as published in the HERALD, David Dowd and Eugene Small, two young men nineteen years of age, were arrested ona charge of arson, they having burned several dwellings in the Eigh- teenth and Twentieth wards. AS soon as the ac- cused were arrested they were taken before the Chief of Police and made a partial confession of their acts. Yesterday the prisoners were. ar- raigned before Justice Riley for examination. Uriah Ellis testified that on the night of the 4th of November last a portion of his premises, 16 Dod- worth street, was burned; knew the prisoner, elk ar not see him before the fire, but saw him at the fire. Jacob Murr testified that two young men came to his place and procured some matches, and in fifteen minutes after he saw Mr. Ellis’ place on fire; he could not identify the accused. Sergeant Campbell testifled—Am a sergeant ofthe Fourth precinct police; I ordered the detention of Dowd in the station house, and, from information received, I made the complaint against him; I took him before the Chief of Police, and Dowd was there questioned in relation to the fire at 16 Dodworth street, and he finally admitted that he was there present with Eugene Small, and assisted in firing ‘the place; he declined to go into the details of the afair ; he first denied all knowledge of the fire. Eugene Small, one ef the prisoners, testified that he and Dowd set fire to the barn of Mr. Ellis; he went to Murr’s store and got the matches and Dowd crawled up to the loft and set the place on fire; they then ran'up to Bushwick avenue, but re- turned and helped put out the fire; when they started for home Dowd said the next time they set a place on fire he would have the places planned out; there were some houses, he said, on Lafayette avenue whicn they could burn; one of the houses was burned a few weeks after, but witness was home and in bed the night of the fire; met Dowd the next morning and ne said ne burned the house and described how it was done; he also acknowledged having set fire to several otner laces. Irwin Smith testifled—Live in De Kalb avenue, eked above the stables; am acquainted with Dowd; ave known him about eigne years; Dowd told me aiter the fire that he and Smal) set a place on dre; he told me that be climbed up into the bayloft, set the place on fire, ran around the block and then went back to help get the horses out; he did not tell me anything about any other fire; Dowd asked me to go with him to burn buildings; he asked me about six weeks ago; he said he wanted to burn buildings for a “spec.’’ Cross-examined—Had a conversation with him about the stable fire in front of Small’s door; I stole a pin from Dowd and Small and pawned it; I was arrested and pleaded guilty to the charge; Small was arrested on account of the pin; Small and myself are in the same cell in the jail; we have not had any conversation to- gether about this case; we were in cell No. 6: a man named McCormick was in the same cell with us; he was taken out to-day; Small never said to an “We'll put this on Dowd and get clear our- selves. Justice Riley held the accused to await the action of the Grand Jury. ANOTHER MISSING STEAMSHIP, Yesterday afternoon news was received in this city that the paddie-wheel steamer Nevada, be- longing to the California, New Zealand and Australia Mail Steamship Company, was a fortnight overdue at San Francisco, A reporter of the HERALD was despatched to the office of Mr. W. H. Webb, Presi- dent of the company in this city, at 54 Exchange place, and gained the following information :—The Nevada was to have left Sydney about the 4th of January and proceed to Honolulu, in the Sandwich Islands, and from thence proceed to San Francisco, the time occupied in the trip to Honolulu being estimated at twenty-iour days, and from thence to Sau Francisco about eight days. Besides, said the informant, itis not known that she saiied on the 4th of January, as she was to have some extensive repairs completed at Sydney. Her cargo would, in all probability, be a general one, of wool, hides, gum, &c, She'is valued at about three hundred and fifty thousand doiars, and is considered one of the quickest paddlewhee! boats in the Pacific. DESCRIPTION OF THE VESSEL. She was built in New York in 1865, and is of the following dimensions :—Length, 281 leet; breadth of beam, 40 tect, and depth of bold, 24 feet.

Second Degree. The Case for the Prosecution Resting Upon Cir- | Withering Sarcasm on the New York Courts— cumstantial Evidence—A Peculiar Defence Expected. ‘The attendance in Court this afternoon, in an- ticipation of the trial of Solomon David Moore com- ing on, was very large, every seat in the room being occupied. There was a great array of law- yers, the case presenting so many features of criminal interest that even those members of the legal fraternity who were not directly interested in it made it a point to be present. It is rumored that the defence of Moore will be @ very peculiar one, it being the intention of a counsel to endeavor to prove that the murder was committed by one of the principal witnesses for the prosecution. There isa celebrated Irish case on record in the law courts, im which O'Connell ‘Was counsel for the defence, when the same tactics were adopted, and with triumphant success; it is said that the counsel for Moore are in sion of some strong testimony, which will not be without its weight upon an intelligent jury. Moore was brought into Comrt at three o'clock, amid breathless silence, by the Sherif. He isa man of about five feet seven inches high, forty years old, strongly built and’wiry. His face is not indicative of a murderous disposition, and no one looking at him could imagine he was so charged with THE FEARFUL CRIME for which he is to be put on trial for his life. He wears no whiskers or moustache, the eyes are deep set, his hair is fair and the whole appearance of the man, while not vicious, is indicative of a low order of intelligence. He manifested no con- cern at the perilous position in which he 1s placed, looking steadily on while the proceedjngs were being opened, At three o’clock the case was called on ana the sary panel read over. Judge Dalrymple was the pres ding judge, assisted by the two associate judges of the district. For the State there appeared the prosecuting attorney, F. A. De Mott and the Attorney General, Mr. Gilchrist, For the defence A. Mills, James J. Cutler and Stephen H. Little. ‘There was a great number of ladies present, who watched the case with intense interest. ‘The jurors were first called and ranged in the two front seats, THE FOLLOWING JURY was selected aiter some delay :—Abraham D, Budd, Isaac Parsons, Luther M. Baird, John M. Stark, Samuel Baldwin, Louis Kutcher, Henry H. Sutton, Garrett ©, Smith, George Jacobus, James M. Leonard, John D. Courtray and William Thorpe. ‘The witnesses for the prosecution were then called and answered to their names :— Mr. De Mott stated the case for the people. The prisoner was charged with having wilfully mur- dered his wife on the night of the 28th of Novem- ber (Thanksgiving night). On that night the miners who inhabited the little hamlet in which the shanty of the prisoner was situated were carousing. Moore was known to be under the in- fluence of liquor and was seen going towards his house, Sometime revious, about ten o'clock, the wife of joore, Who was an enteebled woman and a cripple, was also seen going towards her home on acrutch. The next morning two Httle boys, who were out rabbit shooting, the first snow ot the season having fallen the previous night, came upon the dead body of a woman With no clothing on buta pair of stockings, a chemise and a petticoat. When the interior of the house was examined, it was found that the furniture it contained e WAS COVERED WITH BLOOD, and there were many other evidences of a severe and bloody struggle. ‘The post-mortem examina- tion disclosed that the woman had been beaten with a heavy boot. Moore had disappeared and was nowhere to be found, but some tokens were found and portions of as He was in the neighborhood in the morning, but got away, and three weeks after he was arrested tn Phillipsburg. Owen McElhern, a boy of thirteen years of age, was the first witness sworn and testified as 1ol- lows:—I live In Pine Hill, close to David Moore's house; 1 was out with my brother tracking rabbits on the 29th of November; when we came close to the house of Moore we saw a body lying across the brook; we went home and told my mother, who told James Connell to go down and see who it was; he came and saw it was Mrs, Moore; there was a track of blood from the house to where the body lay; my brother John went down to Dover and told Squire Gage about the matter. Cross-examined—There wasa path leading across the brook to where the body lay; I had been there before tracking rabbits; I live about a quarter of a mile from the brook; I could see the tracks from the wheel house to where tne body lay; the snow was colored with blood; the body was lying on a small rock about a step from the brook; her feet was right against the stream, which ran past. John Mckihern, brother of the last witness, was next sworn. His evidence was as follows:—I was tracking rabbits on the morning of the 29th of No- vember; when I came to the brook saw a body lying on its face; I went home and told mother;I then went to Terence Connolly's and Dave Moore was there; I told them there was a body found at the brook; Mrs. Connolly said, “Dave, you had better go and see who it ts; you may have done some harm last night; Dave went out of the house and went in another direction in- stead of going home. Cross-examined—I went te Dover about half-past eleven o'clock, and saw Dave Moore standing on the street; Idid not speak to him; he had his Sunday clothes on when | saw him, Bridget Connolly was next sworn, and testifled— live near Mine Hill, and know the prisoner, David Moore, and knew his wife when she was living; Moore was in my house the morning after Thanks- giving Day; I saw him the previous day; while oore was in Johnny McElhern came in and said there was somebody LYING AT THE BROOK DEAD} Isaid to Moore, “You had better go home, you may have done something wrong;’? he got up and walked out, and I thought he was going home, but he went the other road; Moore’s son slept in my house Thanksgiving night ; his 1ather nad lett our house when the boy came back from an errand I sent him upon that morning. a Cross-examined—My husband keeps a drinking saloon; the miners and David Moore and his wife sometimes came to our house; David Moore was in the saloon on Thanksgiving nignt; he got a quart of ey and then I went to bed; he patd for the whiskey; Mrs. Moore was in our house the same afternoon; she remained about twenty minutes; she drank nothing while she was there; Idid not notice Thomas Madden in the house at the time. At this stage the trial was adjourned until half. past mne o’clock this mornin; GOAT ISLAND. Another Phase of the Central Pacific Manipulation Brought to Light. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11, 1873. The Citizens’ Committee in opposition to the pro- posed cession of part of Goat Island to the Central ’ Pacific Railroad Company ask the press of the East to give the following @ place in their col- umns:— Mr. C. P. Huntington's statement before the Senate Military Committee as to the ownership of the Oakland water front, and his declaration that a controlling interest in it was offered to the Cen- tral Pacific Railroad Company, on condition of making their terminus there, is at variance with the known public facts and evinces much intre- pidity of assertion. In April, 1868, that property— seven to pine thousand acres in extent—was re- leased by the city of Oakland to one Carpentier. A large area of it was then conveyed to the railroad company, and the remainder to the “Water Front Company,” whereof Carpentier got half of the stock; the railroad mal Ts got forty per cent, and J, B, Felton, who made the negotiation, received ten er cent, the railroad company expressly contravt- ing to make their terminus there. Mr. W. G. Moody, on introducing the ordinance to the O1 land Common Council, declared that it secured the railroad terminus to Oakland by solemn contract. Mr. Felton, in his publis speech April 4, 1868, said :— “Our propositions were accepted. Solemn writ- ings have passed between us, binding the railroad, both by legal and honorable obligations, to ter- minate in asland in eighteen months from this date, and | am assured by those gentlemen in the most positive terms that within nine months the work will be fully completed.’ wThe officers of the Water Front Company, a8 made puolic then, were Carpentier, Merritt, Loyd, Tevis and Leland Stanford, These statements have been published here nearly five years and never contradicted. The conveyances are on record and the case is plain, The managers of the railway company received this large amount of water jront stock, and the company agreed to give Share, to the property by locating its terminus ere, RAID ON A GAMBLING HOUSE, On Tuesday evening Captain Allaire, of the Twenty-filth precinct, assisted by Omicers Fleming and Dykeman, made a raid on the premises 609 Broadway, where a game known as “Banco” Was found in full operation. ‘The following persons, found in the room, Were arrested:—John McMa- hon, in charge of the place; Joseph O. Bartelle, of Philadelphia; William Austin, of Brooklyn, and Charles Hayés, of No. 5 Bieecker street. The va- rious traps connected With tive game and $284 in money were taken possession of by the oifieers. ‘The prisoners were arraizued before Justice Cox, at Jefferson Market, yesterday afternoon, were digohprged, ~ 1 aud | The District Attorney and the Court Warn the Jury Against the Examples of Other States—Sentence Deferred—The Jury Out Only Half an Hour, The trial of John Doris for the murder of Thomas Donelian was resumed at Jersey City yesterday. ‘The Court allowed two hours on each side for the summing up. District Attorney Garretson there- upon arose and spoke to the evidence for the State. He was followed by Mr. Cloke for the defence. Mr. bbett followed on the same side. The District Attorney then summed up for the State, and closed as follows:—‘Gentiemen, if you allow this man to goon the plea of self-defence then no man’s life is safe, All a man has to do 1s to take out a knife or a revolver and strike you down and On the slightest provocation, If you do not main- tain the law in this State, and if you allow the same practice to be followed here as other States, then you will have the same dificulty here as in other States. What is the reason we have not the same number of murders in this as in other States? Be- cause murder is punished here, and no man can deliberately slay his fellow man and walk off as he might do elsewhere, The case is now yours, not mine. I am but a ctitizenof this county, You have in your hands the protection of 200,000 people in this county, and the people are now looking to you to protect them from such acts of violence.” THE JUDGH’S CHARGE. Judge Beadle then charged the jury. In regard to the plea of self-defence set up by the delendant the Judge said:—‘You can use as much force as 18 reasonable to protect yourself; but, when a party undertakes to execute the law for himself, there are grave grounds for consideration whether it is @case that is justifiable. Self-defence is tounded on necessity, not on false notions of what peo- ple regard as their safety. No mistaken notions of manliness cam be admitted in justifica- tion. Where the life of a sellow mortal is taken it is only necessity that can justify it, and there is a reguancy in the meaning of that word ‘necessity.’ fe must be taken only to avoid destruction or great bodily harm. It must besomething more than the belief of@ man. ‘This law of homicide has been carried out loosely in some localities, but our Courts have never gone 80 far as to admit that the mere belief of bodily harm will justify homicide. In the language of the law the danger must be ‘eminently perilous.’ ‘The law is not unreasonable, wit it re- quires that where @ man can avoid taking life he must do it, There must be no false pride. Avoid the encounter if you can consistently with your personal safety and don’t jeopardize human life. Gentlemen, although itis for you to say—and you can say—that this man can go scot free on the plea of self-detence, the Court cannot sit here and allow the assumption to go abroad that this is a case where the ingredients of self- deience are present in the eyes of the law. It would be a mockery— A BURLESQUE ON THE LAW. (Here the prisoner shifted uneasily, and there Was some commotion among his sympathizers in the court room.) ‘There are three degrees of mur- der under our statute—murder in the first degree, murder in the second degree and manslaughter. After defining these degrees the Judge continued :— “The common expression, ‘You lie,’ does not jus- tily violence of any kind, If the provocation was enkindled by the party committing the act it did not justify the killing. Gentlemen, the Court have done their duty; they hope you will do yours. Do it to yourselves, to the defendant and to God,” THE VERDICT, The jury retired at twenty minutes past three and returned into Court at the end of half an hour. There was Rese, a breeze among the crowd on the floor as well as on the galleries as Mr. Fisher, the Clerk, cried out, ‘Jurors, look on the prisoner. Prisoner, look on the jurors. Gentlemen, have you agreed to your verdict?’’ Foreman (Mr. Taylor)—We have. CLERK—How say you, gentlemen, is the prisoner at the bar, John Doris, guilty or not guilty ? FOREMAN—Guilty of murder of the second degree. The jurors were polled, and each answered ag did the foreman, tll the twelfth juror, Hugh 0. Johnson was called, and he replied, ‘Guilty of mur- der ofthe second degree, with a recommendation to the mercy of the Court.” Hereupoa the other jurors cried out “No, no!’ and Ju Bedle inter- posed with his customary biand smile, “Well, gen- tlemen; that is Mr. Johnson's recommendation, Gentlemen, you are discharged till to-morrow morning at ten o’olock. The prisoner may be re- moved, What a narrow escape the prisoner had from the halter may be inferred from the fact that when the jury went out they took a ballot and stood five for murder in the first degree.

Sentence will be pronounced within a few days, REAL ESTATE MATTERS, Eastern Boulevard, East River Park— Destruction of Water Fronts—Great De= mand for Riverside Park Lots—Eleven Hundred Thousand Dollars Refused for “Hamilton Grange.” A bill is before the Legislature, introduced by Mr. McCrary, but not yet printed and reported to the Assembly, providing tor the laying out of a new boulevard on the east side of the city and alsoa new park. The bill has been kept comparatively secret, as but few, if any, of the property holders whose property is to be taken, or who are assessed for the improvement, have been consulted in the matter, « it 18 understood, however, that the proposed route for the boulevard is from the Central Park eastward, through Seventy-second street, to ave- nues A and B; thence northward through both ave- nues to Eighty-ninth street; thence, diagonally, across to Third avenue, at Ninety-sixth street— the Third avenue to be widened from Ninety- sixth to 102d street; thence eastward again throngh 102d street to avenue A, and along that avenue northward to the Harlem River. In addition to this the bill proposes to take the land between avenue B and the Kast River northward from Eightieth street to Eignty-ninth street for an East Side Park. ‘The boulevard project 18, to say the least, a very questionable improvement, as it will involve great expense to the city as well as the property holders joining, who will have to be assesged for it, and also because of its aimlessness, as nearly all the streets in that section of the city are now opened and many of them largely built up, and the boule- vard may be said to begin and end nowhere. It has ne salient point of commencement or ending, which is not reacily reached by the present plan of the city avenues and streets, ‘The park project, on the other hand, is positively injurious, as it cannot exceed three or four hun- dred feet in width, but destroys nearly half a mile of water front in a section of the city where every toot of whartage is becoming every dey a greater necessity for the growing demands of the peopie residing east ot Fifth avenue from Eightieth to Ninetieth street. Aside trom this, when the ob- structions in Hell Gate are once removed, the now bn western channel of the river will be greatly relieved by the current being eqnalized with the eastern channel, and thus the water front proposed to be taken by the park rendered still more avaii- able for commercial purposes. On the east side of the city especially we have not an inch of water front to spare, and the visionary and foolish schemes of parties who have boulevards and parks on the brain should be nipped in the bud same have taken root and sprouted. ‘he city cannot afford the expense,” ‘the property hold- ers do not ask for it,” and “our commercial neces- sities forbid it.” We advise tho Chamber of Commerce and the entlemen having our commercial interests at fieart tolook into this project, protest against, and, if possible, defeat the passage thereol, We see no necessity for such @ one-liorse park, and when the establisiment Of such is known to be an injury to the city’s interest it should be promptly abated. It does seem as though some of our people were gone park and boulevard mad, We have little enough room jefton this island for butiding pur- es, We have more parks and boulevards than we can find names for, and have piled up a bill of — for them which will take two generations to for. Acommentary on the above is the fact thata number of capitalists have employed Mr. John McClave to purchase for them all the Kiverside Park lots he can secure at reasonable rates, Mr, McClave has now advertised in the leading dailies for the past two days, and even waived commis- sions from the sellers, yet he has not had a single offer of tue required property, , The same broker yesterday made an offer of $1,100,000 for “Hamilton Grange,” the old home- stead of Alexander Hamilton, embracing about four hundred lots, running from’ 140th to 146th street, and bounded by the old Bloomingdale road and what is known as Break Neck hill, but the proposi- tion was refused, Mr. MeClave offered $1,000,000 for this same property about one month ago, which fact was duly published in the HERALD. The price asked 18 $1,250,000. Mr. Vernon kK. Stevenson, Jr. loge V. K.

At the regular meeting of the Board of Health, held yesterday afternoon, the President reported that Mr. John Hurt, who had put in the lowest bid for the night soil contract, could not be found, A communication complaining of the santtary con- dition of a number of public school houses, was received from the Superintendent of Buildings. It was referred to the Sanitary Committee. A reso- lution was passed direeting inspections to be made,. upon which orders could be issued for the removal of stable manure from the city before the 15th of March. A report was read from the Sanitary Inspector upon the unhealthy condition of the house 51 St. Mark’s plice, used for @ medical college for women. It ‘was referred to the Sanitary Committee. ‘The fol- lowing report upon the condition of smallpox was received and adopted :— Bureav or Sanitary Inspection, Hxavtn Duranraxnt, 301 Mort Stxxer, New Youk, Feb. 8, 1873. To mmx Boanp or tux Hxairn Emons Cranx, Secre' PARTMENT, COLONEL retary -— T have the honor to ‘submit the following comparative statement of contagious diseases reported to this Bureau for the two weeks ending February Week ending Feb. 1, Feb. 8 he RSQomi 16 reported twelve of the initey Tone three years i + vaccination were not ascertained, ‘The number of cases corresponding week of last year was seventy. ferring to the weekly statement it will be seen that pox declined during the lagt week from twenty-four to sixteen, or one-third loss. This is a gratitying exhibit, particul: rly in viow of the tact that the disease has as. sumed, and for a long time past maintained, an epidemic form of grave proportions insome other citiés in constant and daily communication with New York. It also illus trates the importance and efficacy of dealing with this isease in such a manner ag to depriye it of the material on which to feed, and thus to limit, if not entirely arrest, Ats progress. Indeed there 1s no question that vaccination properly performed and timely repeated, will afford en- ire imin unity trom smallpox in a vast iuajority of in: otwithstanding e oft-repeated assertior ‘at present all over the world a peculiar sus. ceptibility to the contagion not controlled by vaccina- tion.’? 1e eX! ence of other cities but confirms the conclusions derived trom that of our own, not only in mn that the success attending active measures for sup- pressing the disease, but also in the disastrous consequences following the neglect of such measures. While Boston was without the proper sanitary authority, and h@use to house vaccina- mwas neglected, smallpox appeared among its citizens and spread’ to an alarming extent, producin; & large amount of human suffering, destroying many lives, obstructing trade and sertously threatening its im- portance as a commercial city. The recent organization ofan efficient Board ot Health and the adoption of de- cisive measures in dealing with this disease have already reduced ae prope ton tw a limit entirely within sanitary control, and Boston has erenpen not only @ pestilence, but @ serious commerci: disaster. The same may be si Lowell in. its recent con- fi with this disease, and, indeed, other cities have had similar experience—many of them, ving from time to time con: the number of cases in our own city; and were it not for the vigorous measures early adopted and persistently enforced by this Depart- ment there is every reason to believe that among the filthy slums and crowded tenements of New York the disease long since would have manifested the same activity that it has in Boston, in Philadelphia or in Louis- ville. “Our present method of dealing with smallpox is the same that has been pursued for the last four years, to Temove the patient at once to the hospital, unless circum- stances are such as to afford pertect isolation at home. This done, the room just vacated, including bedding. clothing, xc., 1s subjected to thorough :umigation and disintection, after which one of the Vaccinating physi- cians visits the house for the purpose of vaccinating its inmates. The adjoining houses are then visited for the same purpose, after which the vaccinator continues his ‘ visits to every house on the square. In this way protec- tion is afforded to such an extent that we are now seldom able to trace new cases to direct contagion, except It be to such as have been concealed by thelr friends until the contagion has reached its most active stage. This summary method of proceeding, though at first violently opposed by many, now meets with the hearty approval of all good citizens, as is daily seen in the quiet submission to removals, the increasing confidence in Yaccination and the complete abeyance in which the disease is kept as compared with other cities. And that this expression of contidence 1s not merely local is shown by the frequent applications received, from health au- orities of other cities asking for detailed information concerning our method of d with this disease.

Areport was received from the Superintendent of the Bureau of Street Cleaning, showing that to comply with the request of the Board of Aldermen made to the Board at its last meeting—that ashes and garbage should be removed from the city be- fore eight o'clock every morning—would cost the city an enormous sum in excess of what is now paid for doing that work.
