He ‘was held in $1,000 bail by Commissioner Shicids, In the United States Circuit Court yesterday Judge Woodrufl rendered his decision in the case of Oharies Sawyer and otners vs. Samuel Oakman, His Honor reverses the judgment of the Court be- Jow for $10,000, and holds that a United States @ommissioner cannot legally authenticate @ stipu- aation made out of his own district. i Judge Fancher, in Supreme Court, Chambers, de- mied yesterday the. metion for an injunction re- @training the Kni¢kerbocker Life Insurance Com- pany from continuing its business, and also for the appointment of a receiver to wind up its affairs, Hie opinion given in the matter will be found in our Jaw columns, THE KNICKERBOCKER LIFE IN- SURANCE COMPANY. Motion for An Injunction and Receiver Denicd—Judge Fancher’s Opinion, After the recent elaborate report in the HERALD Of the proceedings instituted before Judge Fancher at Supreme Court, Chambers, én 9 motion for an ‘njanetion restraining the Knickerbocker Life In- @urance Company and for the appointment of a receiver to wind up its affairs, it is unnecessary to recite the facts of the case again. Judge Fancher yesterday gave his decision on the motion. He embodied this decision in the following opinion— @ document, as will be seen, short, sharp and de- ~olsive :— THE OPINION. The complaint and affidavits on the part of the Plaintiffs make euta prima /sacie case for the granting of an injunction and the appointment of a@receiver. But the opposing affidavits read on the part of the defendants demonstrate beyend doubt the groundiessness of the plaintit’s sup- ‘posed case. In view of all the factsset forth in these ‘voluminous affidavits on the part of the defendants. ‘which seem to have been prepared and verified ‘With due care and caution, I think no room re- maine for even a suspicion against the solvency of the Knickerbocker Life Insurance Company. if a different opinion be entertained by the plaintiff the jaw confers ample powers on the State Superin- tendent of Insurance to investigate ofticially all the -affairs of the company ant to protect the interest of ali parties concerned. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. —-——__— UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT—IN ADMIRALTY. Collision Case—Decision. Yesterday Jndge Blatchford rendered his de- ‘tsion in the case of Robert Jonnson and others vs. The Steamtug General U.S. Grant, her engine, &c. ‘Fhe lidellants, who were owners of a lighter, @laimed damages for a collision which took place Between the lighter and the steamtug. It being amcumbent upon the tug to ayoid the lighter or to show a sufficient excuse for her failure to do so, @he has assumed the burden of showing that the lighter did not fulfil her obligation of keeping her course, and that the change of course of the lighter was the absolute and direct cause of the collision. The Judge says that he is impelled to the conclusion, on all the evidence, that there ‘would have been no collision if the lighter had not changed her course. Libel dismissed with costs. RD. Benedict for the iibeliants; Beebe, Donohue Cooke for the claiman SUPREME COUR Penalty of Waiting for an Assistant District Attorney.

Tilden & Co., hog-slaugbterers, foot of West Forticth street, North River, asa col- lector and salesman, was arraigned before Judge Dowling, in the Tombs Police Court, on a charge of embezzlement. Mr. Horatio M.

Cham! ocked him down, and kicked him several times in the head and stomach while he ‘was lying prostrate and helpless, Two men named Thomas Crenin, of Union Mar- ket, and Simen Dunn, of 106 Cherry street, wno were passing at the time and saw the assault, called the attention of the officer of the beat, who arrested Chambers and brought him to the Tombs, Thomas Cronin and Simon Dunn accompanying him. A complaint of assault and battery was taken against Chambers, and Judge Dowling held nim to answer at Special Sessions, and committed John Tierney to the House of Detention to insure his being present to testify when wanted. Later in the day some of the friends of Chambers appeared in court and wanted to go bati for him, but Judge Dowlmg sternly retased, remarking, “i am not oing to lock iy Pere poor sailor, whom this man pane: brutally ten, and let the assailant out on A brawny-looking Irishman, with a pair of scales in his hand, pushed forward through the crowd of people standing near the Judge’s bench yesterday, and, laying his hand on the desk, said:— “Yer Honor, I want @ warrant!’ “Who do you want a warrant for?” asked Judge Dowling. ane want a warrant agin a dog for assault and bat- ery.’ “How much does the dog weigh?” “I dunno,” said the man. ‘He brak me schales; but he’s a big brute, any way.”’ Judge Dowling—Well, the best thing you can do ig to catch the aog and bring him here and I'll commit him. At about half-past twelve o’clock yesterday two men, known to the Wall street detectives as thieves who frequent the locality, entered the banking office oi Howes & Macy, 32 Wall street, and attempted to run away with a quantity of money while a number of persons were on business in the office at the time. The following are the facts of the case:—Hiram Ostrander, a resident of 110 West Thirty-eighth street, and doing business at 391 Canal street, drew a check for $144, and began counting close by the outer part of the cashier’s window. A passabiy dressed indiyidnal, who was standing near Ostrander ostensibly waiting his turn at the cashier’s desk, let a dollar bill drop unneticed on the floor, and called Ostrander’s attention to his having dropped the bill, whereupon Ostrander immediately stooped down te pick it up, leaving his roll of notes on the counter. Another accom- lice, who alterwards gave his name as Kobert Parkins, snapped the notes off the counter and | ran for the street door through the | hall entrance; but as he was about stepping out on the sidewalk was captured by Mr. Dege, private detective of the es- | tablishment, and brought back tothe counting | room. Meanwhile the thief had dropped the notes on the feor, where the detective found them and returned them to the owner. Parkins was taken Detective Dege to the New street station and ven in charge of Detective Doyle, who escorted ‘im to the Tombs, where it was expected Ostran- der would make @ charge against him. Parkins Was arraigoed before Justice Dowling, but as the complainans did not appear prior to the closing ef bo Court, he was held for examination until to- | jay.

In | 1863 a decree of restitution was ordered, but the vessel was never restored to the owuers. Subsequently a Commissioner, to whom the case was relerred, reperted in favor of the claimants for the value of the vessel, her services and the services of her officers, as their agents, $214,884, | Upon that re- | pert a decree was afterwards rendered, together with interest on the amount from the date of the to about $221,000. The decree was new reversed, the Court taking the view that the allowance was excessive and that the allowanee for counsel fees was wholly unwarranted.

This appearing, the Circuit Court followed the construc- tion placed upon the law by the State Court, and their judgment was against the validity of the bonds or orders.

Beside the body was found an elaborate six-barrelled revolver and a biue, satin- lined case belonging thereto. Deceased was ap- parently @ Frenchman, apout twenty years old, dark complexioned, with hair of the same color and parted in the middie. The hands and feet were small, the latter being encased in buttoned gaiters, while the body ‘was attired in @ manner which at once bespoke gentility. Nothing was found on the remains which ford a clew to their identity, exceptin, per bearing the words, “Anderson & Wil- point,” and @ pocket handkerchief,bav- ing border, stamped with the letters The jury rendered a verdict that deceased Up to a late hour last even- “eX died by his own hand. ing the body had not been identified. FIRE IN FOURTH AVENUE. A fire broke out at @ quarter to three yesterday Morning, at 120 Fourth avenue, that caused a damage Of $4,000, The property destroyed be- longed to Mrs. Thompson and Was snsured for UPLE SHEET. Bmal Meeting of the Board of Public Instractionedelar! male Prin- Applicants for Teachers’ Certificate: Restored—Attendance at the Evening Schools. ‘The Board of Public Instruction heid their final meeting yesterday afternoon at the hall, corner of Grand and Elm streets, with the President, Dr. J. @. Holland, in the chair. The meefing was not at ‘sil @ melancholy one, and until near the close there ‘Was no evidence of the fact that this was the close Of the oficial le of the Board. The benches out- side the sacred semicircle were occupied by @ umber of the teachers, local school officers and friends of the expiring department, who showed their sympathy most unmistakably when anything was done which coincided with their ideas of right. That they were both just and gal" lant was amply demonstrated by the fact that the adoption of a resolution offered by Commissioner Wood, “as a matter of justice,” that the salaries of the eleven female principals which were now less than $2,000 per annum be increased to that sum, was loudly applauded. A la amount of routine busigjess was trans- acted by the Board, after which a Tesolution was adopted transierring jormally all the records, min- ules, prosedingsand property of the department to the newly-appointed Board of Education. The question of the appointment ofa SUPERINTENDENT OF MUSIC 3 came up, but, on motion of Commissioner Smyth, on the grounds that as this created a new oflice, and one comprising many details, and as this Board could not consider the matter ase it was laia over. A report of the Committee on Finance, ofler- ing a resolution that the biil of Mr. J. Meagher tor furnishing heating apparatus to the Seventeenth ward schools be not paid, was adopted. The re- pe showed that there was an overcharge of some forty dollars on the heating apparatus, that there ‘was no allowance made for stoves taken, and that the prices for wires, &c., were exorbitant. A com- munication from the Clerk, Mr. L. D. Kiernan, giv- ing the statistics of the evening schools for the past season, Was read as follows:— Lai Schools, Register, Atten Male... Female. Colored. Total. sveeee +, 18,244 Onder 16. 29 4,963 ranted to fe males, 2,016 Certificates were females and 76 colored pupils. The percentage of absenteeism was—Male schools, 60; female schools, 455 Resch schools, 76—making an average of 55 per cen ‘The communication was ordered to be entered at length on the minutes and placed on file, Reselu- tions were then adopted conveying the thanks of the Board to Dr. J. G. Holland, the President, for the able and impartial manner in which he had resided over the deliberations of the Board; to ir. Lawrence D. Kiernan, the Clerk, and Mr. Jonn Davenport, the Auditor, for their able, faithtul and courteous discharge of the duties of their posi- tions; to Commissioner S. A. Lewis, as Chairman of the Finance Committee, and Commissioner Willtam Wood, as Chairman of the Committee on Normal College, Evening and High Schools, THR ORAL EXAMINATION QUESTION, was brought up by Commissioner Jarvis by a mo- tion to rescind the action taken at the last meet- ing, by which it was decided that the examina- tons of teachers or applicants fer licenses should be entirely by written or printed questions. This was hurried through at the last meeting without being properly understood, It was decidedly un- just the superintendent as adopted, and gave too great an apportunity for schemers to become d of the papers which may be prepared and render the examining superintendent power- less to overcome any chicanery in the premises. Mr. Jarvis, alter a tilt with Commissioner Wood, succeeded in having his motion restering ‘oral ex- amination” adopted by a vote of 9 to 2—Messrs. Jenkins and Wood voting in the negative. Dr. HOLLAND then, in afew touching and appro- priate remarks, thanking the Board for the courte- sies extended to him, bade the members a “hearty and brotherly farewell.” On motion of Mr. JaRvIs the Board of Public In- struction adjourned sine die. THE NEW COMMISSIONERS. Drawing Lots for Terms of Office—Proba- bie Organization of the Board. ‘The newly appointed Commissioners of Educa- tion assembled yesterday at the Mayor's Ofice, pursuant to call, for the purpose of drawing lots to determine the term of office. Mayor Havemeyer presided, and after. slips with the names on had been placed in one hat, and twenty-one slips— seven with 1874, seven with 1875 and seven with 1876—had been placed in another hat, Mr. Thomas Boese drew from the two hats simultaneously, with the following result :— { Term of office toexpire in 1874—Rufus G. Beards- ley, Andrew J. Matthewson, Eugene Kelly, James W. Farr, Robert Hoe, James M. Hals! , Albert Klamroth. Term to expire in 18%—Henry P. West, James peti | dre3 de ros | Brown, Jacob Vermuilye, Rudotplt 4. Witthaus, David Wetmore, William H. jellgon. Term to expire in 1876—William Dowd, 8. P. Pat- terson, ©. V. Lewis, R. W. Tewnsend, Edward 0. Jenkins, Joseph Seligman, A. P. Manno. Mr. Eugene Kelly was not present. Dr. Holland having declined the appointment, Mr. Joseph Selig- man Was appointed in his place. It was decided that the Board should meet for organization on Saturday next, at four o'clock in the alternoon, for the purpose of Oo izing. Canvassing for President and Clerk is quite active. Mr. Neiison, who has | twice before acted as President of the Board, will be elected President. Mr. Kiernan, Clerk to the Board of Public Instruction, which js super- | seded by the new Commissioners, is urged for the | clerkship, and the Board would do well, indeed, to endorse his courteous and efficient discharge of the duties of his office by retaining him as the ex- ecutive officer of the Board. Mr. F. U. Wagner is also spoken of a8 @ candidate for the clerkship, d, should the office be granted as a political con- jon, Mr. Wagner may be considered to have “the inside track.’ probab! How @ Brooklyn Official’s Salary was Increased and Decreased. On the 30th of December last the Kings county Board of Supervisors, by resolution, increased the salary of District Attorney Britton from $6,500 to $10,000 per annum, to take effect January 1 of this year. The resolution was approved by the Super- visor at Large, but when the new Board of Super- visors was organized in January they passed a resolution reconsidering that adopted by the old Board, and Mr. Britton never reaped the benefit of the Increase. Yesterday Mr, Britton applied to Jndge Gilbert, in Special Term of the upreme Court, for a writ of mandamus directing the County Treasurer to pay him $2,500, the amount of his salary for January, February and March, at the rate of the increase. His argument was that the legislative act of 1870 prevented the Supervisors trom de- creas his salary. The act provides that the Board of Supervisors of a@ county shall determine the salary of the District Attorney, and that “the salary, when so fixed, shall not be diminished during the term for which the District Attorney has been or may be elected.” Judge Gilbert re- served his decision, ++ DEATHS.
