Yesterday Martin Saco, who had been indicted for peddling unstamped clgars, was discharged on ‘bis own recognizance by Commissioner Shields, | the District Attorney consenting. gohn 8. Wood, cook of the American ship Nellie Ware, who had been charged by the Captain, Beorge Asbbury, With refusing to do duty on alate voyage of the vessel from Rio to this port, was held yesterday by Commissioner Shields to await the | action of the Grand Jury, The defendant admitted that he refused to do duty, but stated that the Captain wanted him to perform work of an objec- onabie nature—that he required him to make a | clam chowder for twenty men out of twenty-five | clams and a pint of clam juice, and that he had | also commanded him to feed and wait upon his | (the Captain’s) dog. This is the defendant’s ver- sion of the affair, and it will be for the Grand Jury ‘to say whether they believe it or not, A suit has been commenced in the United States Circuit Court by Charles Morton against Henry C, Jarrett and Henry C. Paimer, lessees of Niblo's Garden. The action is orought by plaintiff against the defendants to recover from them a sum of $30,000 as damages, which the plaintiff! alleges he has sustained in consequence of an imputed breach | 4 of contract. Mr. Morton says, in his bill of com- plaint, that he made a contract with the defend. | ants to engage an Opéra Bouffe Company, of which Miss Soldene was to be the principal artiste. The | company were, according to this engagement, to | produce at Nibto’s “Genevidve de Brabant,” “Fleur | de Lis” “L’Oriel”’ and “Chupéric,” and the plaintiff | charges he has sustained great loss by reason of having made engagements with members of the Opéra Bouffe Company, they having had to cancel | other engagements, aud the plaintiff having taken | passages for the company on board the Cunard steamer Java. The defence, it appears, is, that the plaintiff was telegraphed to in England, al- most immediately after the contract had been | made, for the purpose of having it cancelled, on the ground that, if the arrangement were carried pm: according to its terms, it would result in loss to both parties in consequence of the panic pre- vailing at the time 1m financial matters ‘in New | York. ‘The stenographers Warburton, Bonynge & Un- | ferhiil obtained a verdict yesterday, in the Court | of Common Pleas, for $1,200 against Gideon J. fucker, for taking testimony in the Jumel will fase, which counse! had declined to pay, | In the Price divorce suit, in which Walter W.

Before Judge Brady. ‘The work of procuring a jury in the trial of James | &. King for the alleged murder of Anthony F. D’Neill, now in progress in the Court of Oyer and ferminer, before Judge Brady, is getting along very slowly. Out of the extra panel of 100 jurors erdered for yesterday only forty-seven answered to their names. All of these were examined, the jormula of questions being the same as heretofore. While many have already, from reading the accounts of the homicide in the papers, formed such decided spinions in the case that it would take very strong | evidence to remove the impressions thus formed, | end while one juror went so far as to s that he thought the case one of wilful murder and that the prisoner should be made an example | bi, by far the greater majority were set aside through distrust of the plea of temporary insanity. The name of the addi ionai juror obtained yeste day Was Serville J. Delano, jeweller, No. 42 Sev- enth street. The jurors were ordered by Judge Brady to be kept ‘n charge of officers at the Astor Bouse over to-day.

THE JEOPARDIZED OHUROH AT ORANGE, Bishop Corrigan has issued another circular ap- | peal to the churches of his diocese in relation to | the jeopardized St. John’s church at Orange. He is thankful that during the past week the inaebt- edness of the church has been diminished $00,000, This reduction is due chiefly to the kindness of its creditors, who, in order to facilitate the rescue of the church, have generously waived a large por- | tion of their own claims, It is hoped that the | other creditors, who have not yet been heard trom, | Will be able to imitate and rival this encouraging example. The Bishop, however, wants not only the interest on the great debt provided for, but | the principal so reduced that the church nm itsell carry the femainder and uiti- mately throw it aside, too. He recommends that “subscription committees be organized | im the several parishes to receive other ana larger sums than are likeiy to be given to this cause in an ordimary Sabbath cotiection. If the diocese could raise $70,000 the work would be done, as the balance could be carried by the parish. One church in Newark (St. James’), haa already pledged $5,000 Uw necessary. We have seventy-one churches, with resident pastors, besides missions. It iy evi- dent that this sam could be raised in proportion- ate amounts in @ short time, and in that way the | work would be accomplished, The method tne Bishoj suggests, judging from experience, will be attended by the yplest results. every parisn | of the diocese there are open hands and generous | | hearts that will not miss what ts thus given for | God's glory, and who, even if they feel the sacrifice they are king, will be rewarded by the very | feeling that they are making @ sacrifice for God. | ‘This circular letter is to be read in all the churches | of the diocese to-day, and the response will, no doubt, be prompt and generous.

The Legislative committee having in charge the investigation into the Street Cleaning Bureau con- tinued their lavors yesterday at the Futh Avenue Hotel. Attorney General Barlow was in attend- ance, The session lasted irom eleven o'clock A. M. until nearly six o’clock P, M., and a mass of evidence was taken, much of it being merely of minor importance and @ repetition of details con- sequent upon testimony already before the com- mittee. Among the most important items of the testumony was the statement in contradiction of what had been already sworn to, that Mr, Charlick had paid, during Brown’s contractorship, the sum of $6,000 ior the privilege of having the “stuil” dumped at his dock—a privilege which, it 1s claimed, he has recently had for nothing, for the reason that it was the most convenient place for getting rid of the “stuil.” Captain Thorne was avain upon the stand, ad was subjected to a lengthy cross-examimation by Attorney General Barlow. Captain Thorne ‘insisted ‘that the duping was done at Charlick’s dock because it was an advantage to the city to have so convenient @ place, He did not pretend that he ever estimated the difference in the cost between dumping it there ana elsewhere, but he seemed convinced himself that what he had done was right, his idea being that ms chief busi- ness was to get the dirt irom the strects at all events. Direct testimony was given against him by more thau one witness. The testimony was em- bags against the present system of street clean- Ing, 1t being sworn to that the streets could be cleaned tor less than $1,000,000, while the appro- priation asked for last year was $1,436,800. his Subject ls yet to receive lurther development, and on Monday George Middleton and others thor- oughly tamiltar with the systems of street cleap- ing in this city will be put upon the staad as ex- perts.

THE MNAMARA MURDER. Leahy Committed to the Tombs Without Bail. The Coroner’s Inquest Yesterday—Conflicting Testimony Regarding the Shovel Which McNamara Had in His Hand—The De- tective’s Story of How It Happened : “The Light Went Out and the Pistol Went Off’—The Ver- dict of the Jury. At about half-past eleven o'clock yesterday morning Coroner Woltman began the inquest into the manner of the death of Michael McNamara, who was shot by Detective Leaby on the morning of the 22d of February. ‘The court room was crowded with detectives and friends of the detective band who made the de- scent on McNamara’s house. The widely diverging stories of the iriends of deceased and Oficer Reilly leaves little doubt but that some one is wrong—whether intentionally or otherwise is yet to The major part of the testimony pub- lished below goes to show that the entry of the oMcers was boisterous and excited. There 1s something wrong about the shovel story, for Mrs. McNamara and Mrs, Murphy swear to different shovels as the oue used by deceased, THE PROCEEDINGS. After the Coroner had sworn the jury and told | them of the duty devolving upon them the Clerk called Rose McNamara, the wife of the. murdered Map. She is seemingly about twenty-five years of age, and gave her testimony in a broken way, With a broad Irish accent. Sne said she lived at No. 530 West Thirty-ninth street; that on Sunday | morning, February 22, about three o'clock, six men came up the stairs of her house, and when opposite her door they began to kick and call to be let in; her husband jumped out of bed and told her and the chiliren to Keep quiet; he then got the shovel and braced himself inst the door, ie shovel was here produced, witness recognizing it as the one which her husband nad had in his hand on the morning in question. It isa small ordinary stove shovel, weighing probably about two pounds, The men who came to the door did not say what they wanted, and did not show any shield or sigu by which she could have known they were officers or detectives; after a little tussle outside the door was opened, and while it was ajar a shot was fired by one of the intruders; tne ball found a lodgment in the stomach of McNamara, making a hole just above the navel; after the husband had been shot four men came in, and one of them, a dark-complexioned man, cocked a_ pistol under McNamara’s ear; when the intruders found they had shot my husband they brought him down stairs to the street, and then, for the first time, they told who they were and what they wanted; ‘they then sent the wounded man to Bellevue Hospital, where he died. Mrs. McNamara states that she had heard that there was a des- erate character in the house; she had heard of um, but had never seen ‘him; she also heard that @ police officer had been shot at by some one down stairs; no strange man was in her room on the night in question, and there had been none for a week previous; On the morning in question a woman named’ Mary Murphy was in the apart- ments of the McNamaras’, and she had her caild with her, MRS, MURPAY’S STORY. Mrs. McNamara having signed her testimony the woman Murphy was called to the stand. She said that on the morning of February 22, about half-past four o'clock, she was awake giving a drink to her baby, and hearinga noise outside, she called Mr. McNamara, who jumped up and took a shovel, with which he blocked the door. (Shovel shown to previous witness produced, but denied by wit- mess, Who said the One Mr. McNamara had was a working shovel, with which he worked in the sewer.) ‘This shovel was put under the lock and Mr. McNamara never lifted it to strike any one; the men outside pushed so hard that they moved the shovel and got the door ajar; one man of dark compiexion managed to get half way in, and while between the door and the door frame he fired a pistol shot through the panel of the door and shot Mr. McNamara in the stomach; when the dark man had done this he threw the pistol on the floor and pointed another one at Mr, McNamara’s head; Mr. McNamara, his wife and witness asked the man With the pistol for Jesus’ sake to spare the man ior bis children; she thinks that unless they asked so hard the man would have shot Mr. McNamara in the head; then the rest of the men | Went into the room and lookea around, but find- ing nothing they went down to the free; | in a lew minutes they came back and knoc! ba at | the door, wanting to know if they haa hurt any litical favoritism | the | one; Mrs. McNamara said the! band; she let the men In, an had shot her hus- they said he ought to go to the doctor's, but neither McNa- mara nor his wife wanted to leave the room, for they did not know who the men were; finally a policeman in uniform came | up stairs, and when he said it was nest to go to te doctor McNamara went with his wife’s con- sent; wien the wounded man got to the street they (the men who had shot him) put ina coach and sent him to the hospital; the intradera never told who they were until they got to the street the second time, MES. M’FAY ON THE DETECTIVES? VISIT. Mrs. Margaret McFay, a widow who lives in the same hvuse as Mrs, McNamara, says she was | aroused on Sunday morning last by the noise of tramping leet; some men came to her door and demanded to be let in; the third time they asked she let them in, and they searched the house thor- oughly aud went away; she knew nothing of the shooting until the next morning, when some or the neighbors told her of it, THE DETECTIVE’S STORY. OMcer Philp Reilly was- next called. He tells the following story:—On Saturday aiternoon I re- ceived information from Captain Irving that at a certain number in West Twenty-ninth street we would find Herman Landendorfy, the man who shot the Hudson River Railroad watchman; at about half-past one A. M. Sunday morning I, in compan. with Officers Williamson, Wilson, Leahy and Mul- lins, took a coach and rode up town as far as the corner of Twenty-eighth street and Tenth avenue, where we got out and walked over to Eleventh avenue, whence, one by one, we went to the house in West Twenty ninth street; we knew that Her- Mwan’s mistress lived in this house, and had reason to suppose he Would go there, When we got to the first floor of the house the officer we leit down stairs cried up that the officer on the beat said four young fellows, one of them with a white coat, had gone into the house about an hour belore ; we tried the skylight, and finding it locked on the inside we knew they could not have gotten out that Way, so we began to search the rooms; when we came to McNamara’s room we hear loud whispering going on; we coula not hear what it was about; we called out that we were officers ‘anted to get in; as the folks inside did not seem inclined to allow us in, I forced the door open ; when J got in McNamara stood there with an up- raised shovel in his hand and made an attempt to strike me; when he aimed the shovel at me i let my lantern fall, and the shot went off at the same instant; it was from hyd patna of Leahy; when we knocked at the door Ihad my pistol cocked; then block between Twenty-third and Twenty-tourth streets | WheD We got tn T asked McNamara why he did not | alter the late storm ; it would cost $15,000 to cart the snow Jet us in when we told him who we were; he said there Was such @ hard crowd in the honse he did hot like to let usin, for he didn’t believe we were oMcers; we brought him down stairs; 1 went to Twenty-eighth street and got the coach; We put McNamara in and brought him to the hospital poy ad art fam S not want to stay, idn’t trouble him at all; ol told him to stay and he obeyed. hi Aggies ‘This witness closed the ¢ase, and Coroner Wolt- man charged the jury, and tt retired to deliberate, THE VERDICT.
