Hatch Condemned — Isaac Dayt Narrowly Escapes—Extraordi- nayy Speeches. Aspech\! meeting of the Bar Association took place last ex’ening at the rooms in Twenty-seventh Street, The meting was called to order by W. M. Evarts. The opfex"t of the reunion was to consider the judicial nominat D3. Mr. SuepParp moves’ that the association recom- mend that the people we te for Judge Fancher and ©. HL Van Brunt for Sapren’¢ Court. Ex-Recorder Surrit said tha,’ he agreed as to the importance of taking some actio.” Upon this mat- ter. ‘This association was more,interested than any one else in the question. He sp.oke tn eulogy of Judge Van Brunt. The speaker said’ pf Judge Fancher that he had made a reputation which had been endorsed by the whole community, He would fuily endorse him. (Applause by Mr. Shep- pard and hisses by the association.) Mr, Smith thought, however, that Mr. Lawrence was 2 still better man, and he would move an amendment that Mr. Lawrence’s name should be substituted for Mr, Fancher. Mr. WHEELER said he was much surprised by this action, and it was totally in opposition to the views of the association, as though these were good men, others equally good had also been nominated. (Great applause.) He therefore moved that the resolution be laid on the tabie, The motion was almost unanimously adopted. Mr. Robinson said that while the association should not endorse nominees it might disapprove of them, and he moved that the association CONDEMN MESSRS. DAYTON AND SPAULDING FOR SUPERIOR COURT. (Appiause.) An amendment fas accepted that Mr. Hatch be inctuded tn the motion of condemnation, Mr. Dayton was defended by some, who sald that he was a reputable lawyer in good standing. Mr, J. H. GERARD argued that the association had no right to go into this matter at all. The as- sociation was formed for social intercourse, and it ‘Was just as unfair to approve as to condemn. He therefore considered his point of order well taken. Mr. Evakts—They are no points of order at all. (Laugnter.) It was moved to lay on the table. The motion was lost after some recrimination between Mr. Evarts and Mr. Gerard, Mr. Ropinson amended his motion by moving that the nomination of Mr. Spaulding be disap- proved of by the association. The last motion was put and it was carried. Mr. Ropinson then moved that the society dis- approve of the nomination of Isaac Dayton, only, however, as a gentleman who had not the legal re- quirements for a judge. No imputation was meant Mee Mr. Dayton’s private character. . SHEPPARD said this was CRUEL AND UNKIND. If any one act could be brought against Mr. Day- ton then the motion ought to prevaul, but here it ‘was a mere partisso clamor. Mr. Recorder Smirn said that in ali his experi- ence he had found Mr. Dayton a good lawyer and a perfect gentleman, He hoped the motion would be withdrawn. Mr. Cauper said he hoped the motion would be withdrawn. Mr. Roprxson said he would withdraw the motion as to Mr. Dayton. The motion as to the nomination of Mr. Roswell D, Hatch being unfit for the bencb of the Marine Court was called. Mr. SKIDMORE said that unless a gentleman had MURDERED HIS PARENTS, defrauded his clients, or trampied on the American flag, he ought not to be considered totally unfit to be Judge of the Marine Court, and it was unfair to condemn a man without being heard. Mr. GERARD renewed his motion that the matter be laid over, as it was against the object of the association to condemn men in this way, and put respectable men out of the pale of respectable so- ciety. He protested against the way of doing it— hall seriously and half in laughter. The motion to lay on the tavle was offered, and the Chair was in doubt as to the vote, On the count it proved 52 against and 49 in favor of the motion, and was decided lost. Mr. WHEELER. said he thought the Marine Court had been underrated, and that these nominations were very important. All we want to say of Mr. Hatch is, that we do not disapprove of him asa manne simply we do not wish to see him on the bench, ae eens disapproving of Mr. Hatch was carried. Mr. Nasa moved that no further action be taken regarding candidates. Carried, and the association adjourned. THE REFORM ASSOCIATION. An important meeting of the Executive Com- mittee of the Reform Association was held at the Everett House last evening. Joln Foley presided. Delegates from all the Assembly districts were pres- ent, The Conference Committee reported the fol- lowing candidates for nomination to the County Convention, to be held this evening :— For Supreme Court—Judge Fancher and Charles Donohue, For Superior Court—G.

Daniel F, Crowley was declared the nominee for Member of Assembly. REPEATERS FROM PHILADELPHIA. There is a report current in democratic circles that the republicans intend to import a large number of repeaters from Philadelphia to help carry the election next week. A thousand is the number expected, and if each one polis twelve votes the total willbe a good round number. The democrats are airaid that by the arrangement of giving three inspectors of election out of four in each district of the 500 election districts in the city to the Apollo and republican combination they will be cheated, oy after dark, when the counting of the votes will be done in many places by the aid of a lantern, THE NEW POLICE JUSTICES. The newly nominated and confirmed Board of Police Justices met yesterday at noon, in the Special Sessions room, for the purpose of becom- ing known to each other. Colonel Bankson T. Morgan was made the Chairman, and the whole Board enjoyed itself and had a hearty shake hands allaround, The first remark made was:—“Why, how do you do, Juage? I am glad to see you, and Iam happy to make your acquaintance. I have heard so much of you from your friends that this 1s really an inestimable pleasure to meet you on this auspicious occasion.” Then another newly elected Judge declared that it was the happiest hour of his life, and he thought that hereafter ‘justice would be administered in the city of New York.” A third judicial gentleman believed that the new Board of Police Justices would not make the mistake that had been made by Havemeyer and by Green in dis- countenancing ail the people who had elected and supported them for office; and finally, after some consultation, it was decreed by the Board that if any attempt were made to oust them from oilice they would fight it out to the last. Then the new Board of Police Justices adjourned until to- morrow at noon, when they will finally meet to organize for business. It remains to be seen who will be President of the Board and where each Justice shall be located. THE TROUBLE IN THE APOLLO CAMP.

HERTS. New Yous, Oct. 28, 1873. APOLLO HALL WILL FIGHT. Meett: of the Apollo Hall Executive Committee—A Bitter Determination to Fight the Battle Out. A meeting was held yesterday afternoon at ving Hall of the Apollo Hall Executive Com- mittee, and there” was a full and enthusiastic attendance of all the members, The meeting was called for the purpose of making report of progress of the work done by the organization, and the tidings seemed very satisfactory to all present. It was understood that no candidate for member of Assembly would be supported by the organization who should not pledge him- self to vote, if elected, to make the office of Comptroller elective. This is the firm de- termination of the Apollo Hall organization in this coming contest, Andrew H. Green is to be op- posed by Apollo Hall, at the ballot box aniin the Legislature, and it is the intention of the organiza- tion, which is fighting Tammany, to remove Mr. Green from office as soon as possible. John McCool made his appearance among the members of the Committee and was received with a hearty welcome, One delegate said to the reporter of the H#RALD, “The politicians don’t know the work that is to be done in the next eight days, Tammany is always confident before a defeat. The anti-Tammany ticket will have 20,000 majority on the 4th of No- vember, and shall 1 tell you the reason why? We have John McCool, who is a@ workingman. Now there are two kinds of workingmen. One is the workingman who tells every one that he meets, or tells somebody else to tell the workingmen that at some period of his life, he earned his living, but at present be cannot be seen. Then there is another kind of workingman who is willing to see and talk with the workingmen. Now here is John McCool, a workingman who is worth $1,000,000, which he made himself by hard work. He has thrown off his coat and he is working for success and for the ticket which he heads, He doesn’t say much, but he is a worker, and he is not ashamed to bumble his own tickets and paste his own bills, and he sees that everything is done before he goes away. He has confidence in himself and says that he cannot be beat, and that he will be elected. What can you do witn a man like that? You can’t beat him. "I heard a pretty good scholar (an once, when I was @ boy that ifa man believes in himself and his friends that he must win, and that is what is the matter with Jonn McCool" Atthis moment the Apollo delegate saw Mr. John McCool, and walked and shook hands with him. The delegate said, “John, the boys are working very hard for the ticket. I thiak we are going to win?” Mr. McCool—‘We will win; but we must not forget to work, We are sure to win; but we must have a big majority. We cannot stop until sunset on election day.’’ ATTEMPTED MURDER IN COURT. —— A Man on Trial for Murder Attacked by the Sons of the Man He Had Killed—A Remarkable Scene. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 28, 1873. Some time agoa man named James Kingswell killed an old man named Francis Malone under peculiarly exasperating circumstances. The mur- der was the result of a quarrel which took place in astable, and Kingswell effected his ends by means of acurry comb. For several days past the trial has been going on in the new Court House; and this afternoon, when Kingswell’s counsel was drawing his arguments to a close, and was insist- ing that the defendant committed the deed purely in self-defence, a very remarkabie scene ensued, One of,the sons of the murdered man unexpectedly | made a dash at Kingswell with a dagger and struck & blow at him to take his lite. Court Officer Vangant, springing forward, parried the blow, while Kingswell, frightened and terror-stricken, jumped into the bar of the District Attorney, No sooner had the young assassin been taken into custody, than another son of the dead man came to the rescue, and, joined by still another party, engaged in a desperate combat with the officers. The consternation in the court cannot be described, Men rushed wildly here and there, while the room resounded with the cries of women and children, As the oflicers were conveying the three would-be assassins down stairs, the two sons swore eternal vengeance upon the murderer of their father, and not only fought the parties holding them all the way to the station house, but after they had been con- veyed to prison they continued the struggle, fignt- a desperately even When within the prison walls. The counsei for the defendant made all the use possible of the circumstances after the parties had been carried away, and, strange to say, the jury acquitted James Kingswell of the deed of which he was charged. The effect o! the attack upon Kings- well had terribly alarmed him, and instead of tak- ing advantage of his liberty, he earnestly begged to be carried back to prison, saying that a plot nad been formed to take his life, and that, it he ap- peared in the street, he would surely be Killed. THE SCITUATE MYSTERY. A Letter Tending to the Identity of the Man Who Laid Down to Die on the , Beach. Newront, R. I., Oct. 28, 1873. The mystery of Scituate beach, as will be seen by the following letter received to-night by Captain Hammond, Chief of Police of this city, will doubt- less be revealed. The melancholy atfair is known very extensively throughout the country, and the following letter will undoubtedly prove the iden- luty of the corpse :— Lawrence, Oct. 28, 1873. To te Cuter oF Potrce, Newport, &. I. Deak Sir—1 saw a notice of the body of a man being found on Scituate beach on the 24tn of October. Ihave Foason to think It was the body ol & person known to me. Will you please send me the description of the body, also the clothing. It I could see the shaw! I think I should know. Please tell me the title of the book. Was copy of Byron’s poems? Please answer iminediately greauy oblige, MARY ADDIE YOUNL No. 838 Haverhill street, Lawrence, Mass, From the important facts of the above inquiry in regard to the shaw! will prove that the party is on the right track, as a shawl and a copy of Byron’s poems were fonnd among his effects. The aifair creates intense interest here, and much specula- tion 1s indulged in as to the relation of the above lady to the unfortunate man, who calmly laid down to die among the sand upon the hilis of the beach. To the shame ot the authorities of Middletown ve it said that the corpse has been buried with the shawl above mentioned around him, and together with arude pine box not even stained, are now beneath the sod in the Potter’s Field. The corpse also remained one night after it was found upon the beach, and no one remained by it to pay to it the respect of civilized people. Their action is se- verely condemned, and the authorities of the town will probably be indicted by the Grand Jury. ABBEST OF NEW YORK COTTON BROKERS IN 8T, LOUIS. Sr. Lovis, Mo., Oct. 28, 1873, Albert Pearce, of the firm of Woodruff & Co., of New York, and Warner J. Hecox, of Syracuse, N. Y., Were arrested here yesterday on a requisition from the Governor of Tennessee, charged with fraudulent breach of trust. Indictments were found against them in Memphis. After a lenghty consultation with the Sheritf, counsel and other arties interested, it was decided at a late hour last night by the Sheritf who had the men in charge that, in view of the prevalence of yellow fever in Memphis and the danger to life in going there at present, he would place them under $10,000 bail each, they to report to him daily and personaily untilthe epidemic has abated. onds were entered and the parties were released, The action of Sheriff Taylor 1s consia- ered unprecedented. The arrests grew out of cot- ton suits by Waddy Thompson, of Memphis, against Pearce and Hecox, who were members of the firm of Barler & Co, in 1864, and who are charged with disposing of cotton consigned to them by the plain- tif at great lossto him, for which he claims dam- ages.

Yesterday morning he retired as usual and nothing further was Known of him till he was found dead, In his possession were drafts and cash to the amount of $10,000 and papers and pictures, which establish it clearly that he was a ainter. “! No cause can be assigned for his act, except that he may have met with reverses during his nightly stays in New York. Oounty physician buck made ® post-mortem examination, and gave a permit for burial. Deceased was a sallow comple xioned man, thirty-six years old, with black hair, whiskers and mustache.

SPRAGUE. The Excursion Boat Contin “#t#! Blown to the lin hore—The .\uthortties Interfere and Arrest Her ©X¢w and Others—The Principals Not on Moard. Sr. Lours, Oct, 28, 3873. The steamer Continental, which left here about eleven o’clock this morning, with the prize fight’. excursionists, was captured by the Illinois authorities, It appears that the steamer left her wharf with an insufficient head of steam, and, while rounding into the stream, was struck by the high winds prevailing and blown to the Illinois shore, where she was boarded by the East St Louis police. The captain, engineer, mate and Jack Looney were arrested and taken to the office of the Chief of Police, where they now are, As soon a8 released by the authorities Looney and Arthur Chambers will be arrested by Sheriff Cooper, of Madison county, for participation in the McCool-Allen fight a month ago, indictments hay- ing been found against them in that county. Information as to the condition of aifairs here has been sent to Allen and Hogan, who are down the river, waiting the arrival of the steamer to pick them up. There are all sorts of reports cireulated to the effect that the steamer was purposely allowed to drift to the Illinois shore, 80 that double excursion money might be made, but the truth of the rumor cannot be verified. The crowd on the Continental fs said to have numbered nearly 1,500 persons, About $4,000 was taken lor fares and that the party was the roughest ever gathered together, A great crowd still re- mains in East St. Louts, and it is expected a despe- rate row will occur before they disperse, The Prisoners Released on Bail—When the Battle Wili Be Fought. St, Louis, Oct, 23—Evening. Jack Looney, generalissimo of the prize fight party, was released from arrest between four and five o'clock P.M. He was held in $4,000 bonds— 2,000 to appear in St. Clair county in January next for violating the law regarding prize fighting, and $2,000 to appear in Madison county, on Monday next, to answer an indictment for participating in the Atlen-McCoole mill, a monthago. The penalty in Looney ’s case is im- prisonment in the Penetentiary for not less than one year, nor more than ten years. Captain Keefe, of the prize fight excursion steamer Continental, and bis mate, Reuben Gill, were held in $500 bonds to appear next Wednes- ay. Allen and Hogan both returned to the city this evening, and, it is said, the stakeholder, James Fagan, has decided the fight shall take place two weeks from to-day. Arthur Chambers, who escaped from the East St. Louis police, euded pursuit, and is now in this city. Sheriff Cooper, of Madison county, has warrants for Arthur Chambers, John R. Scott, Mike McCoole, Tom Alien, Bill Blake, Patsey Shepherd and Tom Kelly, and it 1s stated that measures wili be im- mediately taken to procure their arrest and bring them to trial, The fancy men are very much excited at to-day's Jasco. Jack Looney insists that he las been sold, that the Continental was not blown on the Iili- nois shore, and that it was a put-up job in the in- terest of Hogan. On the other hand, Captain Keefe and Mr. ‘McCoy, the principal owner of the Continental, will publish cards to-morrow stating that the steamer was blown out of the control of the pilot and that landing at East St. Lows was entirely unavoidable.

She says she took one ot the powders, alter she found they were poisonous, and that it made her sick.

A telegram dated in London at five o'clock this morning (20th inst.) reports to the Heratp that Sir Henry Holland, the well known author and physician, ts dead.

A look among'the business mew of this city faile to indicate any ¢ruth in the rumors circulated for — @ day or two in connection with the & W. Sprague. The rumor which currency that a meeting of their tors would take place this an absurdity, no such meeting J thought of. In company witli other mauufac the frm has felt its share in the panic shock, but there appears to be the utmost confidence’in their ability to weather the storm, and no doubt seemm@ to exist as to their obtaining help if necessary. SO many rumors are afloat that much reliable im formation cannot be obtained to-night; but al other day will probably show matters to better ad- vantage. Mecting of the Fricads of the Firm—Re= lief Proposed. PROVIDENCE, R. L, Oct. 28, 1873. Financial circles have been tremendously agt- tated here to-day by the report that the great house of A. & W. Sprague has become subject te the panic in the mouey market, and is in Imminens danger of being driven to the wall. For several ramors have been current that the Spragues were showing signs of financial weakness, and these rumors have daily increased, producing great alarm in the business community, The recent extensive transactions of the house of Hoyt, Sprague & Co., in New York city, affect the Spragues, tt is said, to the extent of $500,000, and affairs at home have taken such @ turm as to call for $1,000,000 more to meet the very pressing financial diicuities, which call musé be promptly met or the great house, it is reported, must fall. These facts becoming known, great ex- citement is manifested among the manufacture! merchants and business men here generally, anc to-day the matter is the all-absorping topic of con- versation, The surprise that this house, generally deemed secure, should feel the financial depression, and to such an ae extent, appears to be universal, Many of the leading bankers, merchants and others met this evening to discuss the situation, and, if ossible, devise measures for relifef, a@ hey all would be affected if the house should fall; but no satisfactory conclusion was them reached. Representatives of the firm of Brown & Ives, known as the other great house—the two houses being termed the Montagues and Ca- pulets of Rhode Isiand—were present. It is sald Brown & Ives hold notes upon the Spragues for amillion, which they evince a determination to Tess, Pine Spragues own Keke factories in the State and control several large banking institations, and their failure would shut down the banks, close the factories and throw thousands out of employ- ment, Many of the mills are already running on short time; and some have suspended aicee er. The business men feel the situation keenly, and a failure would produce several ruins, One report at midnight is that the bankers have pledged an amount sufficient to enable the Spragues to meet their pressing wants, and it ia predicted that all will be right. To-morrow, how- ever, will tell the story, and all are anxiously awaiting to know the worst. The Latest Aspect. _ PRovipencs, R. 1, Oct, 28, 1873, a The very latest news is that the bankers, at a meeting in the Merchants’ Bank rooms, confessed their inability to afford ' the needed temporary relief, which is 4 put down at $2,000,000. The liabilities or the Spragues are $14,000,000, while their assets are only halt that amount, Failure is now thought inevitable to-day. “LOVE, MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.” A. Uakey Hall’s Lecture at the Church of the Discipies Last Night. “Love, Marriage and Divorce” were the themes of Mr. A. Oakey Hall's lecture last night, The lecture is one of the Galaxy course, and was de- livered in the Church of the Disciples to a large and intellectual audience. Although Mr. Hat ; draped marriage with the gossamer laces of poetry it seemed to be less appreciated in the delivery than love or divorce. His humorous sketch of how the marriage ceremony is periormed so as to con- form with the ritual of Mrs. Grundy was very amusing. Readers of mythology and fashionable papers Will no doubt be astonished to learn the truthful paradox to which Mr. Hall gave utterance last night, to wit, “Hymen has become the butler of Mrs. Grundy.” Love was described as “a longing inconceivably sweet; Marriage as companiousiip; Divorce as @& horror, per ‘The lecture throughout was rich with a thou- ¥ sand flowers culled from the garden of poetry. a Died.
