Mr. A.B. Purdy, United States Assistant District At- torney. appeared for the prosecition and Mr. Hunting. don and Messrs. Blankman for the defendant. ‘The first witness examined for the defence was Mr. William F. Bonynge, the stenographer who had taken notes of the testimony of David W. fves, @ government detective, who had been interrogated in regard t this ease before Mr. Pierrepout when that gen- tlemanman filled the office of United States Attor- ney of this district. Counsel for defence offered to put im evidence @ press copy of the evidence of Ives, as taken by the stenographer, but counsel for the government ob- jected on the ground that this was not the original tran- script of the notes. ‘(he stenographer said it would prob- ably settle the difficulty it he read his short hand notes. Finally the Court allowed Mr. Huntingdon to read a por- tion of Mr. Ives’ testimony from the press copy, and he read it accordingly for the purpose of showing that Ives had on the present tial comiradicted the statements he had made before Mr. Pierrepont. ‘On Friday last, as already reported in our columns, when Mr. Benjamin Blankman was on the standas a wit! nexs for the detence, he was asked whether he ever had had any conversation with Ripon, the principal wimess jor the prosecution, on the subject of Kipon paying rent to Howard for the Butler House, at Staten fsland, and without passing upon the gpeshon, which was obj: d to by the government, the Judge adjourned the Court. Yesterday, when Mr, Blankinan was recalled, Judze ict said the question was not a collateral ‘one, as had been objected by the government. It had relation to the maim tacts of the case, for Ripon had | «worn that he Was not wo pay any rent, and this evidence was now offered for the purpose of contradicting him in regard to that matter. ‘Mr. Blankiman then went on to state that in the fall of 1869 he wrote to Ripon to come up to bis office and pay rent. He called at my office (continued Mr. Biankman) and said he was unable to pay the rent, that he was oor, but that he would do so as soon as he obtained Means. That was some time in the au‘umn of 1809. [do not know the precise date. 1 saw him a second time at Mice.

Mr. Ripon spoke to Mr. Howard about the payment of the rent, stating that he was very poor at that (ime ; that he happened to be pressed tor money, but that as soon as he got money he would pay the rent. These are te enly three occasions upon which i saw Mr. Ripon, except when i have seen him in this Court. Q.

Nichols etal. vs. Van Nostrand et al—On the 30th of July and 10th of August, 187%, the defendants, proprietors of a Willamsburg express, brought to the plaintiffs, deal- ers in cloth in this city, sealed letters, purporting to be signed by one of their customers, Mr, Conklin, a tailor at Greenpoint, requesting certain specitied goods of the value ot about $150 be sent to him. The goods were de- livered, addressed to the customer at Greenpoint, L. but, asit subsequently transpired, never reached hi On’ the part of the Jetendants it is testified that they do not run their wagons to Greenpoint, but only to Wiluamsburg, that they do not know Mr. Conklin, that the letters were brought to their olfice by a person who said be would cali there tor the packages, and that on receiving the goods trom plaitifis they informed them * of the way the orders were received. and that the pack- ages would be delivered to the same person who brought them. This last statement plaintiffs deny. It seemed to be conceded that the orders were forged by the cus- twmer’s brother.

Plaintiff said he did not wish to put the picture up in his gallery unless he could huve the privilege of keeping it atleast six months, which defendant assented to, and at the same time told him that be did not consider the price he paid for it to be any criterion of 1ts value, as it was originally pur- chased of the artist tor $30,040, and that while he wanted it generally uuderstood that the picture was not for sale, yet ir any one called for it who would be willing to pay anything lise its real value to report tt to him, and ‘if he effected a sale at a air price he would allow him « lib- eral commission. The defendant's brother afterwards negotiated a sale of the picture to a Mr. Fairbanks, who Wished to donate it to his native town, St. Johnsburg, Vt, and on this account detendant charged him on what he had actually expended on account of the picture. Plainuif admitted ‘that he. did mot efiect the sale, but claimed that the azree- ment was that be should have ten per cent commission if the picture was sold while in his possession, wheth he effected the sale himself or not.

Miss Mary Treiber, a young woman of prepossessing appearance, appeared as plaintiff yesterday in a suit for alleged broach of promise of marriage against Henry Graef. Both parties are German and reside in the Eastern District. Mary 1s twenty and Henry twenty-one years ofage. The plaintiff claimed damages in the sum of $20,000, Her story was that on the 4th of July last she met the defendant at a moonlight picnic, and allowed him to attend her home and subsequently to visit her. Tne old folks looked on approvingly. One evening, in the latter part of July, Mary and Henry visited Prospect Park, and while there he promised to marry her. saying, “Mary, I like you very much and you shall be my wite.” After this he gave her money to purchase two rings, one of which he pleasantly termed a “sparking ring’’and the other the engagement ring. Mary bought the rings and Henry thought they were very nice, just the things in fact, Kyverything went along smoothly until the latter part of September, when the lover suddenly discontinued his at- teutions and Mary's prospects of marriage were utterly destroyed, The whole trouble was that Henry discovered that his affianced, instead ot being @ dressmaker, as she had represented herseit to him, had worked m a box fac- tory. This was altogether too ‘much for him and he de- clined to marry the girl. Hence the suit. The defendant admitted the promise of marri: claimed that ne Was a minor when itwas mi therefore could not be held liable. Mary, howev swore that he told her that he was 21 years of age. 1 parents of the young man tesiafed that he was born oa the Ist of January, 1853, and baptized six days there- after. The records were not produced in Court. Upon this testimony ex-Judge Troy, for the defence, moved tor the dismissal of the complaint, Counsellor Keady, tor the plaintiff, opposed: and Judge Neilson decided that the case must go to the jury. The jury, after being out for about tour hours, rendered a verdict for the defendant, CITY COURT—SPECIAL TEAM. Decisions. By Judge Neilson. Lillie C. Larkin vs. James E.

Jordan vs. Jordan.—The plaintiff's attorney having a lien for his costs and disbursements. the secret settlement by the parties was traudulent as against him. The satis- faction of the judgment set aside and the attorney al- lowed execution for the amount of his costs, forming part of the Judgment. By Judge McCue. Jon Andrews, Receiver, vs. George Forstt and | Others—Complaint dismissed, but without costs. Opinion on tile. Edmunds and Mason, the prisoners arrested on | Saturday night last, by Detective Golden, at the | Hoffman House, charged with stealing United States Treasury bonds, were sent back to Wash- | ington yesterday afternoon in charge of four de- | | tectives. Mr. Thompson, who was the main in- strument in the catching of the men, says he only knew one of them, whose ‘name is Williams. | Mr. Thompson became acquainted with him in answer. “Iam known there and I will arran, | for you.” They went to the hotel, and Mr. Park, of Park & Tilford, who happened to be there at the moment, endorsed the paper and sent it round to his store by a porter for the money to oblige Mr, Thompson.

Dead for Several Days—A Filthy Attic, | For some time past Mrs. Saran Abington, a widow woman, sixty-two years of age and a native | of jreland, has occupied the attic room im the | house No. 11 Thompson street, and is supposed to | have had money, a8 she had occasionally drawn | funds froma savings bank in which she kept an account. On Tuesday of last week one of the | neighbors took Mrs. Abington something to eat, it alter which she was not seen alive by any one. lier continued absence created suspicion in the | minds of those living in the building, and more ) particularly as there was an offensive odor issuing | Irom ner room, ‘The Eighth precinct potice bein | notified Officer O*Sullivan burst open the door, and found Mrs, Abington lying dead on the floor, death apparently having taken place several ays previously, as the bovy was mucn de- vinposed und most offensive. Coroner Woltman was notified and sent the remains to the | Morgue, where an inquest will pe held. Late in the afternoon Coroner Woltman visited the room in whicn deceased died, and ound it 10 be ip @ horribly filthy condition, the stench com- ing thereirom being sickening in the extreme.

Thtrd Visit to New York This Wit ter of the London Atmospheric Ptague—Tribulations of « Dwellers Over the North and East Rivers. The people who enjoyed the beautiful sunshiny weather of Sunday and went to bed on Sunday night congratulating themselves on the supposed fact that the recent attempt at a storm was but a false alarm, and that the sun was about to reassert his supremacy and hold it for the remainder of the winter, woke up yesterday morning to experience avery gloomy disappointment, On passing out of doors our metropolitan and suburban population found themselves meeting the third visitation to which we have been subjected this winter by the fog. Soon after midnight on Sunday this Cockney traveller dropped suddenly down upon the city and enveloped everything in thick dark- ness and disagreeable odor. Then came the usual trouble to every moving thing abroad. The early market wagons jostled against and ran into one another in the most lively manner, and kept the recording angel extremely busy until daylight writing away under the head of “Wagon Drivers and Profanity.’ Dwellers along the margins of the North and East rivers were awakened and enter- tained by the hoarse blowing of the steamboat whistles and the steady ding-dong ot the Jog bells ; while belated travellers who found it necessary to make ferryboat voyages to their homes passed several hours of profitiess meditation in and around the waiting rooms of the ferry houses. The boats on all the rivers made trips as seldom as they decentiy could, and tougut it out on that line ail through the morning aud until the fog hited in the alternoon, when, of course, they resumed regular habits and well conducted pune aye nu the North River the Cortlandt street boats ran avout every half hour with Jair regularity. ‘The Pavonia boats took their time and compelled their habitual patrons to reach their destipanon by Various roundabout ways, if at all. The Hobo- ken boats made no attempts worth mentioning to keep their engagements, ‘The Staten Isiand boats took more than double their usu?l time to make the trips between the city and the Staten Island shore, in consequence of having to pick their way with the greatest caution among the various cralt anchored in the bay and passing to and trom the Narrows. On the East River the Fulton ferry kept three boats running, making the usual five-minute trip in® quarter of an hour. Two boats ran on the Wall street line, only one crossing at a time to avoid the chances Of colision. The boats of the Soutn, Hami'ton and Catharine Ierries ran as often as circumstances would permit, and put their pas- sengers to as little inconvenience as possible. ‘ihe Roosevelt and South Seventh street boats did what they invariably do when there is any trouble on the river—stopped running aitogether, and per- sons wishing to avail themselves of that une of travel were compelled ta sail over on the boats of the same company which run between Broadway (EK. D.) and Grand street. The Harlem boats pru- dently rejrained irom risking the many dangers incidental to their long trips and suspended opera- tions during the fog, a3 did aigo the steamers of the James slip and Lony Island lines, The accidents under the circumstances were sur- risingly lew and harmiess. The Jersey City boat Frugson City came into collision, as she was near- ing the shore, with a freight barge towed by the steam tug Blanche Paige. fhe pilots of both boats stopped the engines, and, as their progress at the time was very slow, tue boats merely touched shghtly at the bows, causing no damage veyond the breaking down o1 the railing of the barge. The ferryboats Morristown and Chancellor, of the Hoboken and Christopher street line, collided in the middie of the North River and both were slightly injured, SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK. Meeting of New York Association of Sun. day School Teachers—Adoption of a New Constitution. The New York Association of Sunday School Teachers held their January meeting last evening at the Fourth avenue Presbyterian church, cor- ner of Twenty-second street, Mr. B.C. Wilder in the chair, ‘bere was a large attendance. The exercises of the evening opened with prayer by Rey. Cyrus Offer and singing of hymns. Mr, Thomas Bond read a report of the Executive Com- mittee stating that the work of the association had thus far been principally carried on by holding these monthly meetings and weekly study meet- ings in tne Bible House. The time had come for them to enlarge their work, and a constitution baa been prepared which he begged to submit to them. Mr. Bond then read the constitution naming the society the “Sunday School Association,”” and explaining its principal object as a desire for increasing the use- tujness of Sunday school teachers of evangelical denominations; the holding of weekly study meet- ings to help teachers in preparing the Sunday school lessons; the holding of @ normal class for the training of teachers; the establishment of a large Sunday school library and exchange; the opening of a room for the holding of Sunday school conferences and deliberations, and the progse- cuting of any. other pians for the promotion of Sun- day school work, All Christian ministers were, by virtue of their position, entitled to membership in the association, Tne constitution provides com- mittees for the various departments, library, .&c., and also for the holding of an annual meeting in November. A cominitice of three snall nommate the officers at the annual meeting to be held ior tne election of President and other officers. These are the main points of the constitution, Rev. J. H. Vincent, D. D., delivered an address on the “Three Great Needs.’ The tongue otf fire from heaven, the ministry of the Holy Ginost, was the first thing necessary to the proper discharge of their work. The necessity of the Holy Spirit was incomparably the greatest need of any, He wished to tell them of one Sapbath school which met at haji-past two o'clock in the afternoon. Tne minister of the church, althougn very faithful and zealous, never visited this Sabbath school, Per- haps half a dozen out Of the thirty teachers pre- pared themselves for the lessons. ‘The minister was a good, godly man, but did still a great wrong by neglecting the Sabbath school. The superin. tendent never reviewed the scnolars, probably be- cause he thought tnere was nothing to review. But in another Sunday schooi he saw the pastor addressing the scholars on the subject of the les- son of that day, and wren he had finished the whole school moved into the church. Of course it was easy to tell which of these two methods won the greatest number of souls over to the Word of Christ. The latter minister was not a more learned or a more godly man. This was the difference. The one looked at the matter as a nice little device to amuse and attract the children, while the other believed that the school was an organic part of the church and a most important part. ‘The latter was the right theory, and What they principally wanted in this work was the proper knowledge 13 to what it really was and what was its real theory. ‘The reverend gentleman then alluded in term: of great praise and eloquence to a pastor who de- voted six hours for four days every week to Bible study, for this, he declared, was his armory, his battery. This showed that there were some pas- tors who understood the importance of this study. ‘This pastor gave strict orders to udmit nobody during these hours of Bible study. ‘There were mauy deacons or elders who made it a habit to visit the pastor during the morning hours to have @ pleasant chat with him, while the minister de« sires from the bottom oi his heart to get rid of them. Rey. John Hall, D. D., then gave the lesson for Sunday, 25th, “voubts Removed,” Exodus, iourth chapter, first, Dinth, twenty-seventh, tuirty-tirst verses, alter which the meeting adjourned, THE ARAPILES, aimieeinaaheifchaatindasite The Last Accident Likely to Detain Her=—The Ship Leaking—A Long Kee- ord of Mishaps—Divers to Examin Her Bottom. The Spanish fron-clad frigate Arapiles was still at the Battery yesterday afternoon, and from all appearances was likely to remain there in conse- quence of the damage which she receivea by strik- ing @ rock off Bridge street, Brooklyn, last Wednes- day. ‘he fate of this vessel since she entered the port of New York several months ago has been most painful. Going into the Brooklyn Navy Yard for repairs she suffered very much from desertions on the part of her crew. Tue repairs to which she was subjected were exceedingly slow and expen- sive, costing in the end something lesa tnan $100,000. When ready to start the unfortunate Virginius difficulty broke out, and the commander of the Arapiles was anxious to get out of what threatened very soon to become an un- iriendly ~ port, The work was therefore hurried up; but the very night _ before sue was avout to leave the Navy Yard a most untoward accident happened. A coal ba in the most extraordinary manner, succeed: in sinking precisely in the channel of the ve: which was about to depart, therepy preventing the Spanish war frigate {rom leaving. Some ot the officers o} the vessel were free to consess that they considered the sinking of the coal barge not wholly accidental; put this impertinent insinuation upon Washington diplomacy has, of course, ex- cited @ proper amount of popular inaignation. Nor was there ever 0 much time taken to raise a coal barge. Several weeks were taken up in this way, and at length, after taking aboard her guns, the Arapiles steamed out of the Navy Yard pre- cinets, But muisiortune did not end here. for not two hours after she grounded some two cabie Jepgths irom the Brooklyn side in the East 20, 1874—TRIPLE SHEET. ence of the Holy Gnost in the hearts of believers 5 was or and towed down to’ the attery, where lay Say aaat aly ould be sent down to ascertain vers W the extent of damage dove to the bottom. 1 What opened, and that the vesee! was making three feet of water every twelve hours.

In al case it is not probable that the Arapiles will before to-morrow. THE METHODIST MINISTERS. The Style of Preaching to Save Men— The Indian Question—Pastor Emile Cook’s Illness—A Memorial to Him. Yesterday Rev. Mr. Dieninger, of the Second street German Methodist Episcopal church, ad- dressed the preachers on the features that should be made most prominent in preaching to meet the wants of the times. One of the most important Is more positive statements of doctrines. He thinks there is toe much laxity in this particular. The true idea of faith is not presented as it should be, and men are allowed to give an intellectual assent to the truth of the Scriptures, and this is accred- ited as faith in the doctrines of the Gospel. The nature and benefits of prayer are not made as prominent in the preaching of the day as they should be. he doctrine of the witnessing pres- 2 is not inculcated as fully and as forcibly as it ought to be. He knew that with Germans many of them are jet Into the Charch too easily, A man goes to the altar feeling that he has been @ wicked sinner, and some brother asks, “How do you feely” He answers, “Good.” Then We will sing, “Praise God, from Whom All Bless- ings Flow,” and it is supposed the work of con- | version is completed. The want of reverence in | the Sunday school is another great drawback in the ministry of the present day. This, he thought, | is in part due to tue inexperience of teachers, to the character of many of the addresses delivered in Sunday scnools and to the want of proper home discipline, Dr. E. L, Janes thought one reason of this ir- reverence in the youngis that they are not im- pressed with the omnipotence of the Divine Being of whom they hear, le thinks the people should | be taken to Sinai oftener than they are. He also accused the character of Sunday school addresses with much of this irreverence. We talk to the chiluren, he said, as if they were mere babes, in. stead of opening to them the truths of the Gosp How can they be reverent, he asked, when we let them go on the street and anywhere but into the sanctuary ot God, where they might hear THE WORD OF GOD EXPOUNDED to them ? Dr. Brown remarked that he had not been satis- fled with his labors in the ministry. He could not sit down at tie close of the day and count over his | successes, His verdict, too, Was against the Sun- day school addresses, many of which, he said, were not fit for God’s holy house or day. ‘he result is that children get to think a man is most successiul as a Sunday school talker who can make most fun | for them. He was not opposed to amusement for | children, but he would give up preaching at once if he believed that our boys and girls could not be in- terested in the simpie Btory Of the cross without putting it into these Sunday school style of stories, The Doctor expressed his disapprobation of fairs, festivals, theatricals, &c., in the house of God, ‘The talking and whispering of ministers and ofi- cial meu in prayer and other meetings, the Doctor moneht tended to encourage the children to tulk 80. Dr. Wheatley and Mr. Parker corrected certain Misstatements of their utterances by brethren, Mr. Parker Was reported last week as Saying that Mr. Beecher was the natural bridge between Unti- | tarianism and infidelity, when it should have been “evangelism” instead of “iafidelity—"a widely different thing. Dr. Adams advocated more simplicity and more Bible in their preaching. In regard to the frst pone he had ever remembered the advice given to | im by an old colored man in Duane street years ago"’—Put the crib so iow that the lambs can get a bite.” Hethought very much of our preaching was too high Mr. Wolf, @ missionary of the Indians, addressed the meeting, asking the influence of the ministers: present against the transler of THE INDIAN QUESTION to the War Department and the placing of all the wibes on one reservation as near as possible together. Dr. Reid also spoke on the same subject. Dr. Foss read some imteresting extracts from letiers received in relation to Rev. Emile Cook, oF Paris, who was saved from the Ville du Havre. Mr. Cook 1. very poorly in health, but is recovering under the mild climate of the South of France. Mr. Cook lost ail his clothing, books, papers, &c., and $200 in cash, and Dr. Foss gave the pastors present slips of the letters, to be read before their congre- gations, that a suitable sum of money may be raised a8 & memorial to the faithful minister whose faith in that trying hour was borne testi- mony to by all who were saved from the Ville du Havre and the Loch Earn. The committee have $220, but are anxious to get additional subscrip- tions to send a remittance at once to Pastor Cook. THE LATE BROOKLYN MURDER.
