Stilwell, Deputy Clerk of tue United States Circult Vourt, received a subpoena on Thurs- Say ulght to attend before the House Commit- of Ways and Means in Washington to testify as to such matters as he might be inter- Togated inregard to. Two circuit courts being in session and Mr. Stiiwell being engaged in attend- ance thereat, Mr, White, Clerk of the Court, tel-, egraphed to the committee and asked them i they could not get wnat they wanted from the records Mf they were sent on by somebody else. The com- | Mittee replied that they wanted two indictments against Simon Hermann for conspiring to defraud the government by illegally removing distilled spirits from a distillery, and also whatever records showed that nol. pros. had veen entered in these suits. Mr. 5tilwell leaves for Washington to-night. isaac and Henry Goldstein, who bad been adju- dicated bankrupts, were charged yesterday, before Commisrioner Osborn, by the assignee, with hay- ing on or about the 7th day of February last omit- ted trom their schedule a statement of certain property which, by law, ought to have been men- | tioned therein; also with having on the 4th day of February concealed and secreted property belong- ing to their estate as copartners; also with having falsified their books of account.

SUPREME COUAT—SPECIAL TERM. Interesting Life Insurance Ca: Beiore Judge Van Brunt. Mrs. Bard brought suit against the United States Life Insurance Company on a policy of insurance. In the policy was a non-foriciture clause, providing ‘that if the insured ceased to pay the premiams at any time she might nevertheless obtain a paid up policy for ap amount in proportion to the amount of premiums paid upon demanding such a policy within twelve months after the last payment of Premium. Having paid seven-tenths of all the premiums which could ever be required of her, she mow sues to recover the corresponding seven- tenths of her policy. The company resist payment on the ground that sbe did not apply for the policy within the twelve months prescriced, and a'ao set up a counter claim against her ior money lent on the policy. The plainti!’ demurred to the counter claim upon the grounds that it was not alleged that the money was lent to the plaintiff herself or at her request, and that she, as a married woman, could not be bound to pay loans which did not go | to the benefit of her separate estate. Judgment was rendered for the plaintitf, with leave to the defendant to amend on payment ot costs, SUPREME COURT—CIRCUIT—PART 3. Verdict Against the City.

Fourth Day’s Judicial Delving Into the Pavement Conspiracy—More Damaging Testimony Against the Officials’ and Contractors. The Newark court room was densely crowded again yesterday with citizens eager to hear the evidence in the conspiracy trials of Boss Stainsby and his alleged co-conspirators in the matter of the Springficld avenue paye- Ment job, AS on the three preceding days of the trial, there was present also nearly the entire city government. Comptroller Baker and Mayor Perry were alone conspicuous by their absence. People are beginning to wonder how it is that the City Hall runs itself in the absence of the host of oficial patriots who day after day at- tend court at the expense of the city, but solely for their own curiosity. Boss Stainsby evinced more anxiety yesterday than on any day since the He seemed to feel that the matter was not such @ joke as he affected to consider it some time ago. He moved about considerably, near his counsel, THE EVIDENCE YESTERDAY went to confirm the previous testimony that the pavement had been most wretchedly laid, and in many instances in utter disregard of the contract and of the remonstrances of observing taxpayers. It likewise went strongly to prove that the pro- visions of the contract had been openly set at nought by and with the advice and consent of the otlicials, One of the latter (Inspector Bechler) Was cited by a straightforward witness as having on one occasion declared, in effect, that it made no difference to him how the work was done, as he got pay quietly from the contractors as well as onenly from the city, the people having to foot the bill anyhow, he said. q On opening yesterday Attorney General Gilchrist suggested the propriety of the jury proceeding in & body to view the pavement and for themselves examine its character, THE DEFENCE OBJECTED, HOWEVER, Stating tnat it had had a thorough examination made for itself, The matter was not pressed, and George W. Cross was recailed. His testimony was, in brief, that he bad made measurements of the pavement and examinations, and found it from twelve and three-quarters to fourteen inches deep, inferior stone and liberally mixed with dirt. Counsellor Guild made the witness rather wrothy by asking him if he was not drunk on the occasion when he and Harris bad a tilt, and when Harris, O’Connor’s foreman, tola him he would “put a head on him.’’ Cross retorted a quick de- nial, and said he thought both Harris and In- spector Bechler were intoxicated. A CONDUCTOR’S STATEMENT. Charles Reimer, a horse car conductor, swore that he saw dirt carted on the avenue, and troni- cally asked Bechler if that was sand. Bechler said no, but it was just as good. It made no difference, anyhow, as the property owners had to pay for it. The city hired him, to be sure, bat the contractors had to pay him also. The witness swore to having measured the pavement and find- ing it in some places only nine and one-half inches, instead of sixteen. He tully corroborated Paul Buchanan's evidence. AN ALDERMAN ON THE STAND, Alderman F. A. ‘Traudt was next sworn, He saw the work in pi 88; SAW dirt once used, and forbid its use; told Stainsby about the complaints made regarding the pavement, and Stainsby said complaints had aiso been made to him; tried to catch the contractors using dirt or inferior stone, | but could not; refused once to sign an estimate | tor O'Connor because of the impertect work, but | signed it afterwards, subsequent to an interv: with Aldermen Stainsby and Gurney. The Ald man on the stand did not make exactly the same statements as he made off, owing, it was sug- ested, to his imperiect eae coe of English. ‘The Attorney General wished to refrésh the Alaer- man’s memory, but the Court yielded to the obje tions of the defence. The witness, however, cor- roborated the other witnesses about the inferior material and scant depth. A MOST IMPORTANT WITNESS was Rudolph Ledig, who swore that he passed over the avenue two or three times a day while the pavement was being laid; that at firat the pave ment was laid fairly, but after reaching past. A- derman Traudt’s house, instead of placing thl- stone properly by hand, as the contract requireae it was dumped in and raked over with a hand, rake. He testified alsv that so muchdirt had been heaped over the first layer of stone that he drove over it without hurting his horses feet or injuring to other parties. Johnson, in testifying for nimsell. Stated that he was a military journalist and also | af agent for rifles, and that he bougit tae articles | io tig from @ man who represented himself to be trom Ae and that he nad been sent by | Mr. Green or Mr. Carroll, his assistant to him (Johnson), tor the purpose of disposing of them, | they knowing that he occasionally sold military | equipments on commission, He denied having | stolen the articles irom Mr, Green's place, and did | Hot know they were stolen when he bought them. | there was a legal doubt in the case, Mr. William | 3 a his counsel, invoked the benetit of it, which rosuited in a verdict of “Not guilty.” ACQUITTAL, Patrick Friel, who was jointly mdicted with | Thomas Bonner and James Howan for stealing $25 | worth of painted cans from Frederick Wersebe on the 20th of March, w: 180 acquitted, BROOKLYN COURTS. John Carmody, whose name has been connectet with the Panormo murder case, but who was ar- ‘ested on the charge of having burglars’ tools in tis possession, was before Judge Netison in the | his wagon much. He had driven over the pave- ment, at the same stage of incompletion, of an- other street (South Orange avenue), laid by other contractors, and his horses teet and legs were cut and injurea seriously, it was so rough and free irom dirt. This witness likewise swore to seeing used on the Springfield avenue job hy juantities oO very inferior stone. He complained about me inferiority o1 the material and the imperfect manner of laying it to Alderman Stainsby, and Stainsby straightway ordered the workmen to, pick out some of the cheap stone. In company with others he made numerous examinations of the depth of the pavement, and found the average to be only twelve inches inatead of the sixteen requirea by the contract, and of the finer stone portions from one-third to one-haif were dirt. He complained of the way the work was done to Inspector Bechier, and Bechler said that ALDERMAN STAINSBY AND THE STRERT COMMISSIONER ordered the work done in that manner. The wit- ness made a further statement, which caused quite a sensation, to the effect that so dis - fully imperfect had tt ement been laid ‘one occasion immediately atter a fail of rain the presence of a Mr. ntman, a large property owner along the line of avenue, experienced no diMcuity in thrusting his hand deep into the Pereneens and it up easily. The force his evidence is apparent, when it ia stated that a jt laid in accordance with the contract Would be nearly a8 solid as the rock itself.

J, Mr. Hageman, counsel for the defence, in an address of two hours’ duration, analyzed and sifted the evidence adauced by the prosecution in = @ very ingenions manner, and re- viewed all the circumstances of the case, He proceeced to explain the crime of murder as , laid down by the statute, which is of two degrees, He pointed out what constitutes each degree, and said that very few cases come within the first de- gree, while many come within the second. The first vront question in this case is—“What caused the death Of Theodore Cruise? Was it the wound in the neck or the injuries in the abdomen?” Counsel contended that the latter was the cause, which was substantiated by positive testimony, while the former theory was only propped up by uncertain and unsatistactory evidence, Counsel ridiculed the conclusion ar- | rived at by Dre. Cicero Hunt and Pettinger when | they said that death was caused by the wound’ in the throat, because they were uncertain as to whether the mjnriea in the abdomen—technicaliy called “peritonitis’—were sufficient to cause fatal effect. He reminded the jury that many a man has paid the penalty of his life through the blunders and mistakes of physicians in testifying as to the cause of death, He said the physicians examined by the prosecution did not do honor to setence or their profession in the manner In which they man'pu- lated their case—they were very careless in their duties, During his address Mr. Hageman called the attention of the jury to the sad and deplorable condition of society which, he said, existed in the negro settlement on Sourland Mountain, where this alleged murder was enacted. He said it was @ Mormon settlement which the United States goveriment ought to take in hands.» The prisoner Morocco seemed to be the only legally married man. that came from that place. Nearly albthe witnesses examined said they were never married, although they lead the same iife as if they had been. They lived in open adultery and fornification within a few miles of the residence of the prozecuting at- torney, and not a Christian man or citizen inter- fered to break up this sad state of things. Where is the arm of the law? It was a school of crime—a school of vice. Counsel here asked, Why don’t the churches send their bands of praying sisters into the midst of this den of infamy on a mission of charity and conversion? Revelling and rioting were the order of the day, and the laws of God and man were defied, It was a crying evil to allow these people to live in open violation of the marriage rite, le implored the prosecutor to direct the batteries of the State at this barni- cade of iniquity and blow it to pieces. These eonie lived worse than che savages or heathens, In view of this state of affairs, counse },in conclusion, made a most fervid and pathetic appeal for the prisoners, and reiterated his contideuce in a verdict lor acquittal. Mr. Ciamberlin replied in an able manner, and quoted extensively from various portions of the evidence to sustain the points on which he based his demand for a convictiin. The Chief Justice then made a lucid charge, in which he instructed the jury on the various legal points connected with the case and reviewed the evidence in detail. He said it was a case of great magnitude, of great importance to the State and of still greater importance to the prison- ers, A great burden rested on the jury and their duty was one of great responsibility. The case, contained two prominent points. The frat great question was, Are the defendants, or either of them, guilty of anycrime? If they are guilty, what is the character of the crime? After an hour | had been exhausted in the delivery of the charge the jury retired and returned alter the lapse of one hour and thirteen minutes with a verdict of not guilty tor both prisoners, lngly discharged from custody. A Secret Meeting at Sing Sing Prison— Attempt to Gloss Over the Death of Joseph Hopkins. ‘The incisive disclosures which have of late been published in the HERALD, touching past and pres- ent abuses in the medical. department of Sing Sing Prison, have caused a shaking among the ary bones in at least one portion of that institution, Ascertaining that an investigation was in pro- gress at the prison yesterday, a HERALD represen- tative walked into the office. The only occupant there visible was a cadaverous convict, who, with hands tfrust into his breeches rockets, was ap- parently airing his attenuated proportions white promenading the floor of the main reception room. An inquiry from the writer called forth the re= sponse that Warder Hubbell was in his pri- vate office, and on being asked if he would not take the visitor’s card to Mr. Hubbell, THE INDIVIDUAL IN STRIPES tossed his head with the inimitable swing of a Bowery boy, and remarked, “I guess he'll come out when he gets ready.” A knock on the fastened door was promptly answered by the Agent and Warden, who, when the writer had made known the object of his visit, said that the investigation then going on had been asked for by Dr. Pryne, ‘They were accord. the prison physician, who was extremely anxious to exonerate himself from the charges against him as published in the HERALD. ‘oo 68 question as to whether the investigation wos in- tended to be conducted secretly, the Warden replied that he would go in and inquire of Inspector Graves if the HERALD representative was to be admitted. Mr. Hubbell soon returned, saying that he was authorized to state that the greater portion of the testimony had been taken and that when the remainder was concluded it would be shown to the writer if he wished. Hav- ing waited for nearly an hour and a half, the HERALD representative left the prison, conciud- Ing that irom the carefully filtered statements elicited the public would, even if he saw them, Sorive? very Uttle additional information as to, the ALLEGED GROSS MISMANAGEMENT of Dr. Pryne in the case of the convict Joseph Hop- kins, Who was shot and afterwards ailowed to die by meches in the hospital. It was subsequently learned that the person who most strenuously ob- jected to the presence of the reporter was Dr. ‘ryne. he inautry was instituted by State Prison In- Spector Graves, the life-long friend of the physi- cian, and through whose influence the latter secured his appointment, Mr. Graves caused written notices tobe served on the local physi- cians of Sing Sing and neighborhood, requesting their presence at the prison tor the purpose of as- | sisting him to examine into the charges made against Dr. Pryne. Mr. Graves accordingly pre- sided at the investigation, and, as the writer understood, swore the medical men present. | Here, then, was the EXTRAORDINARY SPECTACLE of @ doctor on trial before a jury composed of doctors, while the part of prosecutor was left en- tirely out. The result was that the accused party ‘was exonerated trom all or any culpability, A gentieman well posted in prison matters in- formed the writer vesterday that, whatever mignt be the result of the investigation, the next Grand Jury will be asked to decide whether the physician, who was absent from duty (although drawing extra pay as hospital keeper in addition to his salary as prison doctor), or the Warden of the | ‘prison is responsible for the neglect which brought about the death of Hopkins. “POLIOE MATTERS, Ata meeting of the Board of Police yesterday afternoon the Superintendent was directed to send out a general order, instructing citizens that offences against health ordinances will be punished with arrests. A resolution was adopted instructing captains to inform the Health authori- ties whenever arrests shall be made tor offences against the Health laws. Detectives Fields, Lyons, Elder and King received permission to accept a | reward of $200 each irom Judge Emmett for their | services in bringing the masked burgiars to jus- | tice. Honorable mention was made oi Detectives | Sampson, . Rati f and Captain Irving. Superin- tendent Matseil forwarded reports of the work done in the Stock Exchange lorgeries, the mashed burglars and the escape irom Sing Sing cases. Officer James Watstead was givén permission to accept areward of $260 from the postal authori- tes for his services in discovering a letter thief. | Fi The Common Council were requested to set aside | lots to be used as pounds in Thirty-third, Thirty- fourth and Thirty-fiith precincts.

The Freedom of the City Presented to the Commander of thé Niobe—The Mayors Speech and Sir Lambton’s Reply. + Prior to the arrival of the. distinguished com- mander of the Niobe Alderman Jenkins Van Schaick offered a series of resolutions in the Board laudatory o! the heroic conduct of Sir Lambton in preventing the execution of more of the Virginius’ passengers at Santiago de Cuba, and wound up with tendering to him on als arrival here the free- dom of the city. ‘The resolutions were duly adopted by beth branches of the Common Council, signed by the Mayof, and yesterday presented to | Sir Lambton in an engrossed form. Asa work of caligraphic art the resolutions were somewhat remarkable. The scrip is written upon white parchment paper, twenty-three tuches by thirty- four inches, surrounded by a passe-partout three inches. wide, in the form of a shield, and drab in color, The edge of the latter 1s tinged with gilt, forming a pleasing contrast. | The irame, measuring outside forty-three inches by fifty inches, is manufactured entirely of American wood. The outer rim is black walnut, highly polished, but piain. Next thereto is a layer of birdseye wainut, inlaid with gold, and inside thereof another layer, about an inch wide, cover- ing the passe-partout of gilt. The signatures of the Joint Committee, the Mayor and Clerk of the Common Council are on the resolutions. At haif-past four o'clock, Sir Lambton, accom- panied by Mr. William Laimbeer, President of the Commissioners of Charities and Correction, ar- rived at the City Hall, Both paid their re- spects to the Mayor in his private sanctum, Alder- men Van Schaick, Billings, McCafferty, Gilon, Assist- ant Aldermen Clancy, Kehoe and others being present, The company proceeded to the Goy- ernor’s Room, and, as soon as the brave Captain had entered the room, Mayor Havemeyer pro- ceeded to address him as tollows:— MAYOR HAVEMEYER’S ADDRESS, My DEAR CapTain—I regret Mg 4 much to find that you are about to leave us for home—there is @ charm in that word, however, which over- shadows all other feelings. With you, sir, it isa joy of the iuture, with us a pleasure of the past and of our memories. sir Lambton, I cannot fitly express to you (he delight we have experienced by your visit, both because of our high appreciation Ol your personal worth as well as tor your dis- tinguishe’l services to our unfortunate country- men, and I hope you have felt, duriag your stay among us, that if we have failed in any particu- lars to meet your expectations, It has not been from any lack of desire on our part wo make your stay among us as pleasant as possible. But speech- making 18.-not my jorte, andl am therefore most happy to present youina tangible form the kind expression of the Common Council in relation to yourself and the services you have rendered us, ‘and hope {t will be preserved as a memento of the many delightiul happy hours your stay has afforded us, and as a reminder that, whatever may have been our shortcomings, our hearts have been found in the rigit place, SIR LAMBTON’S REPLY. Sir Lambton, evidently taken by surprise, gazed afew minutes on the beautiful testimonial, ana replied, saying :— Ihave to thank Your Honor once more for your kind expressions. I am realiy getting nervous and tired almost in returning thanks for the ex- cessive kindness which I have met at the hands of the citizens of New York. Ir has leit me very little more to say. I accept this noble token of your ap- preciation, and I hope when it comes into my pos- seasion that it may ve handed down to a very dis- tant posterity. Mayor Havemeyer said:—‘Captain Lorraine will now bidyou goodby, and Lhope he will soon re- turn and make a longer stay.” if Sir Lambton remarked that “goodby” is a word he did not like to say, but he would express him- sei as the French did by saying ‘Au revoir.” The distinguished guest hereupon took his de- parture, followed with many a hearty ‘God biess you’ for his nobie deeds. The resolutions will be securely packed in @ case and sent on board of the City of Richmod, upon which Captain Lorraine salis to-day jor England. THE ADULTERATION OF BUTTER. ~ sgienead The Butter and Cheese Exchange naving ap- pointed a committee to examine into the subjects connected with the adulteration of butter and the Manufacture of an artificial substitute Jor it, re- ceived yesterday a report in extenso upon the matter. The committee say that during the past year oleomangarine, which is manulactured irom suet or tallow, has been solid as a substitute for butter. This substitute 1s said to be long known in Europe; but there it is sold on its own merits, not as butter, and at low prices. Shortness in low priced butter during the last winter called it into request here; but to what extent the market has been sup- plied it is impossible to say. Some respectabie merchants have sold a compound made 6 trom tallow, representing it to be such, with hmited success. it is said that stock companies have been set on toot and shi in them sold under repre- sentations made that the butter merchants are extensively engaged in selling this aruficial article for butter. ‘The least attempt on the part of mer- chants or dairymen to adulterate butter with any foreign fat or grease whatever would throw a stade of suspicion over the whole season’s produce of the genuine article, and hence materially in- jure its value in the market, especially for exportation, In view of the above facts, tne committee are of opinion that if the article known as oleomangarine be manuiactured and sold as such no evil can result to the public; but, in view of the injury to trade that would follow any at- tempted substitution of the artifictal for the genu- ine article, it is recommended that, while experi- ments, inventions or applications of skill ior the production of a pure article should be encour- aged, any process of adulteration or deterioration must be condemned by the Butter and Cheese Exchange of New York. It is requested that dairy- men and merchants should report to the Secretary of the Exchange all attempts at adulteration of butter that may come to their knowledge, in order to have the perpetrators exposed. THE SUSPICIOUS BOX. No Further Developments. Coroner Croker took no further action yesterday in the case of the suspicious box conveyed to the Morgue on Thursday evening from pier 27 North | River, which box is supposed to contain the re- | mains of Carrie Ihomas, a colored girl eleven years of age, who recently died in Provi- | * dence, R. as heretoiore published in | the HERALD. It is now believed that by some oversight the remains have been un- intentionally detained in this city, instead of being forwarded on to Washington, D. C., to which place they were consigned from Providence. Prop- ably the parents of the deceased will come on or telegraph tor the corpse to be sent to the national capital for interment, as that was the place ofits | destination. From the appearance of the body there was nothing to arouse suspicion that death resulted from other than natural causes, ABMS POR THE CUBAN PATRIOTS, The American brig Uncle Sam, which left this city a short time back for Samana Bay and Puerto Plata, took out @ large quantity of arms and am- munition, which are to be forwarded to Cuba from | St. Domingo. Mr. Ortez, the Governor of Puerto Plata, is a strong friend of Cuban independence, as is likewise tle President elect of St. Domingo, Ignacio Maria Gonzales. The vessel is in charge of Captain George M. Brown, the jormer commander of the Cuban steamer Anna, which was lost while disembarking her cargo of arms. Among tke war materials taken out are six siege guns. The Uncle Sam takes out likewise a lighthouse tor the Dominican government. CITY AND COUNTY TREASURY.

It was moved about five years ago to the lot No. 188 Stockton street, between Marcy and Tompkins avenues. Recently the owner, building and remodelling it, in order that it might yield a larger income by accommodating @ greater | number of tenants. He first put a story under- heath and then added another at the top. In making this alteration he appears to have been | sadly defictent in judgment, as it would appear the supports were not adequate to sustain the weight. There were no central upright supports in the cellar, the building resting entirely upon the outer | foundation walls. Yesterday morning, at seven o'clock, the work- | men gathered as usual and enteredupon their | daily labor, continuing £o work until about half- past nine o’clock, when, without -any marked pre- monition, the structure fell in with a crash, bury- | ing the unfortunate workmen in the ruins, In an instant the greatest excitement prevailed throughout the neighborhood, and in a short time hundreds of men, women and children were as- } sembled in the vicinity. The fire alarm bells were | rung, and the police of the Sixth sub-precinct, the | Fourth and Ninth precincts, unger command of Superintendent Folk and Captain Craft, and the firemen of the Eastern and Western districts came quickly to the scene of the disaster, The work of | rescuing those who had not been killed outright | was commenced by the police and firemen, who | labored with commendable zeal to assist their fel- low beings in distress, KILLED AND INJURED. Mathias tiulshart, carpenter, was taken out trom between the beams considerably bruised, He said there was no Indication but what the build- ing was perfectly sound, and the first thing he knew he was pitching head foremost by the house sinking beneath him. How he escaped being crushed he Is unable to say. Joun E. Walters, plumber, who escaped with Several slight bruises, said that he saw the walls cracking and heard the timbers snapping. He called the attention of his boss, Thomas Burns, to the facts, and the latter said he wasa fool. He began to be frightened, and attempted to get ont. He was half way out of the basement window when the structure came down. Walters thinks that Burns was on his way up stairs, as he heard him call out to Osborn, the boss mason, to come down at that moment. Burns’ body was subsequently taken from the Tuins in @ crushed and mutilated condition, He resided at No. 2,734 Fulton street, where he leaves i @ wife and family. Moses Osborn, mason, was probably on bis way down stairs in answer to the summons of Burns, when he meé¢ his death, His body was found in a shockingly disfigured state. He was fifty years of age, anu jeaves a wile aud family residing at No. 719 Bushwick avenue. The bodies of these two men were conveyed to their homes. An unknown laborer, who was at work in the cellar, was also killed, and his remains had not been recovered up to last evening, He was em- ployed that morning, and his name was not taken. A boy whose name is not known is also beileved to have been killed, His cap was found among the ruins. Thomas Ledwith, @ mason, residing at No. 979 ne ray venue, had his ankie broken and ribs dis- | jocated. | 0. P. Murdock, mason, of No. 81 Ryerson street, had his lett arm fractured, and was severely wounded about tne head. Both these men were removed in ambulances to the Eastern District Hospital. | Samuel Davis, of Lexington avenue, corner of Stuyvesant strect, was taken to his home. He was injured internally, ana it is feared cannot re- cover, Willtam Hogan escaped with some serious scaip Badthe te He was taken to his home in Kosciusko | street.
