Growing to Manhood in Ignorance of One's Parentage to Have the Secret Come Out at Last—Curious Case of an Adopted Child, with its Attendant Revelations, Asingular case came to trial yesterday before Judge Van Brunt, holding Supreme Court, Circuit, Divesting the pleadings of the cumbrous verbiage so uselessly and wearisomely characteristic of most legal documents the facts can easily be grouped into a plain and narrative. Mrs. Ele Simmons died in 1863, in Brooklyn. Bhe left two sons, William S, Simmons and Peter ). Simmons, and her property in trust to her ex- ecutors for their benefit. By the conditions of her ‘Will each was to receive one-half the income of the estate and in case of the death of either, halfthe estate went to his children, In 1851 Peter J. Sim- } mons formed the acquaintance of Cordelia Potter and they lived together as man and wife. He had is views about marriage and considered that no ceremonial forms were necessary to give binding Jorce to the contract. A daughter was tue truit of thig unien. At that time the income of the prop- erty amounted to but very little. He was an in- valid and could earn but a trifle, and, in tact, was ae dependent on bis mother. Crushed by poverty and with no brightning hope for the future, they gave this daughter, a jew days after | her birth, to Mr. E. H. Gibbs, who, with bis wile. adopted her, giving her the name of selina Can- Held Gibbs. This was in 1852. Mr. Gibbs had no | children, and he and his wife idolized the child and brought her up with ali the care they would their own daughter. The girl supposed she was their child. The relatives and friends of Mr. Gibbs sup- posed the same. And thus the girl grew up to womanhood. Meantime, in 1872, Peter J. Simmons | died. The only surviving executor of his mother’s | ‘Wil was John Castern, and @ final accounting be- | fore the Surrogate became necessary. He knew that his brother had adopted out his daughter to Mr. Gibbs. It became mcumbent on him to cite her to appear before the Surrogate. He gave her the document personaily, It was addressed “Selina Canfield Simmons, otherwise known as Selina Canfield Gibbs,” “What does this in, father ?” asked the young aay showing her supposed jatier the citauon per, “It 18 a mistake of some kind,” ne answered, and he took the paper and said no more about it.

But we will not draw aside the curtain here. It was a terrible shock to her. She wouid rather have remaiuved in | costs, stern of the Carrie Reed. The President took a Une from the Carre Keed, from tue starboard uarter aft of the Carrie to the stern bitts of the President, the stern of the President heading with @ view as the Niagara should back to have the President go ahead, and by pauing on the line the side of the Carrie Reed which was next to pier from unduly pressing against the pier as she wa: backed out.

While the Carrie Reed and the tugs were in this tion, the steamer Electra, the vesselsued in the first above-entitiea suit, owned by the libellants in the second above enttied suit, came down the East River trom the eastward, on a trip ‘rom Providence to New York, and she and the Carrie Reed came in collision. The port side of the Electra, at some distance alt from her stern, came into contact with the Carrie Reed.

Before Judge Van Vorst. ‘Mrs, Fillette leased of Isaac Herman the house No. 21 East Fifteenth street, and John Doer and E. M. Jennings became sureties for payment of the Qret quarter. Hardly had Mrs, Fillette got into possession, when, against her remonstrances, the landlord removed a balcony om one side of the house and @ bay window on the other. When he came for his quarter’s rent she refused payment, on the ground that she had, in legal parlance, been “evicted,” or, in other words, that she had not en- fered peaceful possession of the premises, The iand- ord at once instituted summary proceed: before Judge Lane, and she was dispossessed. Mrs, Fil- lette carried the case to the apreme Court, Gen- eral Term, where the decision of Judge Lane was Teversed, Mr, Herman was stili bound to get his quarter’s rent, and so brought suit against the sureties. The case was tried yesterday, when the defence submitted the decision of the Supreme Court, Geueral Term, as a bar to the action. Judge Van Vorst thought this defence tenable, and or- dered a verdict for tue defendants, SUPBEME OOURT—OHAMBERS, ‘The Rock Island “Pool” Again in Court. Before Judge Lawrence.

BENRY BERGH. Mr. Bergh at the Special Sessions. Yesterday morning Mr, Bergh, or, a3 he will have of this the Attorney General,’? was in the Court of Special Sessions and was, as usual, anxious to have his cases Nos, 22, 3 and 4 made Nos. 1, 2 and 3, In fact, he ordered the Court to try them first, so that he might get out and make new arrests, told him tuat that his cases would come on In the usual order, As Judge Flammer is rather slow in disposi of business Mr. Bergh bad to get up again and moved to have Nis ‘cases considered. No attention was to his request and the Court went on very quietly until case No, 22 was reached. “Henry Bergu, Thomas | Rooney and James Bravick,” eried Mr. Johuston, the clerk, and before the prisoners were at tne raul Mr, Bergh began to talk of the “awiul atrocity, unprecedented malignancy and superlative bar- barity” of the case. ‘hen calied to the’stand he swore that the horse which Messrs, Rooney and Bravick were driving was ‘faint, feeble and emaciated,” and also that Bravick had flogged the horse most unmercifally. By defendants’ counsel it was brought out that the “anmerciful fogging” consisted of two strokes of an ordinary whip. Then Mr. Bergh said it was the circumstances under which the horse was hit. He was ascending @ hilh when the took piace. The hill wae proved to be a hele in the pavement where @ sewer had iately been laid, leaving a sort of ridge on the roadway. It nuw began to disclose wer h the testimony of Bergh lumself that he bi the man arrested, net so much for licking the horse as for calling a police. man to arrest him. . Rooney went on the stand and told his story in this way man and I were driving along, when my atvention was attracted ov a man com- ‘ng from’ the sidewalk, who aiterward took our horse by the head and stopped him. He asked why my man bad hit the horse, and the man ,toid him because he wanted him to The man who had stopped the horse never said who he was or showed his badge He examined = the horse, and as I thought his interest in me and my horse greater than the circumstances warranted | Called a policeman to Arrest him, When I began to talk of arresting began to callme names.

It was said throughout the newspaper press, ‘‘Let us get down to & gold basis and then we shall know upon what we are building.” Notwithstanding, the green- back in the early part of the panic appreciated, and to-day 1s not ‘any leas in value than just before the panie, Eight months of desolating suspension of labor products has already elapsed, and still we are looking around to find what relief there is in the sgn yf the times. Ths YORK HERALD of June 2 in its article and Commereial,” spe: ig of our rail- Tuads, says:— i it ia also to be Femembered tp this connection that the 7 of ruilroads prior to 1897, was not unlike that which has been entorced during ‘the past tew years—to wit, issues of stock were made fo represent real or sup- one dL iT bonds were wed for new construc- Ton. extenstong ac until trons now the ‘stocks aud debt represented as much water as reai property. ‘This Was written in October, immediately after the panic broke out. Now, tak! ng the above as fact—and it is only half the truth, because our rail- roads have upon an average cost $30,000 per mile, and yet they represent.in the stocks, bonds, &c., nearly $90,000 per mile (see D. C. Cloud's “Monop- oly and the People”’)—what may we expect when the business of the country is forced to pay three tariffs, dividends or interest to an industry which taxes all other industriea three. times its legiti- me due? ‘ igare not the only ind which tax all other industries two, three and sometimes four tariffs or dividends for their own benefit, as ‘Witness the banking monopoly. Now, when ‘this exorbitant tax becomes unbearable industries must suspend, go into bankruptcy or repudiation, and 80 these inflated or watered interests, industrie: find that the ponna of flesh cannot be given, an their inflated stocks tumble and their bonds are dull and Pore can the market. How to prevent this tumble and shrinkage is the problem of the Money kings, statesmen and financiers, Each has his remedy. Ope wants plenty of? money in circu- Jation to start up our prostrate industries, another wants the currency of the country appreci- ated 80 as to be equal with gold, while the Breat body ot the business portion of the people are catching at straws to save themselves from drowning. None of these doctors seem to realize that to pay three dividends or tariffs on any one industry must rain to just that extent all other in- Gustries ; and as there are about 70,000 miles of rail- Toads in the United States and Territories which Teceive @ tariff? on $6,000,000,000 instead of $2,000,000,000 all other interests or industries have to succumb to this great watered Monster, which swallows up all the profit of the Jesser industries, So when the profits of the lesser industries stop the great gor- Mandizer begins to lose fat and shrinks in his value. Inflation would only feed its maw for a lttie while longer, and a gold basis would add rifts until the lesser industries began again to pour thetr earnings into its stomach, Now, as inflation will not he accomplished, and, if it were, would only be temporary; and as a gold basis cannot be reached in a moment, and, it were, would not help this monster only as it started up the lesger industries to pour into its lap their earnings, it becomes an important question, Pes shall| aera Vd save ne country can gen- ank ru and our nation from repudiation Of its national debt? P Many individuals have cut the Gordian knot by advocating the repudiation of our national debt, which would lead to the repudiation of all public depts—State, city and town a3 well. Fearing this result, there is but little lkellhood of repudiation, while some of the Northwestern States have taken the matter of railroad inflated taritfs to the Legis- lature and restricted the charges by statute law/ This is slow process and may take years to settle, because, once in jaw, there is. no telling what or when the end will come, 80 long as money lasts; and as the railroads represent one third of all the Wealth of the country they are a power which make laws as weil as executions, and, therefore, Would control the national courts in their favor.

PENSION PAYMENTS, Large numbers of male and female pensioners throngec at the southeast corner of the New York Custom Honse yesterday morning long before day- light, and formed in line, to await the opening of the Pension Bureau. At tnree o'clock A. M. Mr. Dutcher, the Pension Agent, had the doors opened and the quarterly payments commenced. About 900 checks were issued yesterday, which is not quite one-eighth of the number who regularly re- ceive payment at this office. Most of the payees are veterans of tne lave war or their heirs, Those of 1812 do not usually appear until the third or | fourth day. A few of the iatter class, however, called yesterday, among them the veteran Mr. Lewis Lounsbury.

On the south side banks of the noble and pictu- resque Rappabannock, about tmrty miles below the histeric town of Fredericksburg, immediatgly opposite the time-honored village of Port Koval, is the'little town known as Port Conway. There is nothing in the appearance of the place itseli to attract the observance of the travelier; yet if its history were generally known, so full 18 it of his- toric interest to the people of this State that its visitors would no doubt be nambered by hun- dreds, In the Colonial days of this once pros- perous “Old Commonwealth” Port Conway was @ town Of no little importance; and, although never densely populated nor covering a large area of country, its importance as an importing and exporting mart was felt not bs in this State, but abroad. In later years its history is made of | greater interest tous by reason of its being the birthplace of that illustrious statesman, James | Madison. The town was ‘eunded by Catlett Con- | way, the maternal grandfather of Mr. Madison, after whom ,it was named. None of the old citi- zens are now living, and bat few houses are stand. ing. The house in which the great statesman was ! born has long since crumbied into dust, and the ground on which it stood 1s now used by its owner a clover field.
