TUE GREAT BAILROAD BOND FORGERIES, Keepers of liquor and lager beer saloons are now Waly brought before United States Commissioners, muder arrest by deputy marshals, charged with mon-payment of the special tax called for by the general government. Yesterday Adam Conrad, of No, 605 Bust Sixteenth strect, where he keeps & (ager beer saloon, was arrested and committed for | examination by Commissioner Stillwell, He was Jocked up in default of bait, The examination in She case of Simon Enink, arrested on Tuesday last, was set down for this morning before Commis- wioner Stillwell. Ho is alao spending the heated term in Ludiow street, having failed to procure Dail, Initiatory steps have been taken. though witheut wany proceedings openiy in the courts, for bringing ‘gw suit against the Erie Railway Company, the suitor | eing Mr. John ©. Angell. The principal charges fare understood to be improper dividends, 1m- / roper purchases of stock and coal lands, and that the stocxbolders did not give thelr assent to the mecent mortgage executed by the company. These ‘eharges are denied, and the present indications ere that the litigation, though it will not probably get under full headway till the October term of the ‘courts, will be as prolonged and exciting as some of the innumerable suits instituted under tthe Gonid and Fisk regime, In the appiication made before Judge Westbrook at Supreme Court, Ohambers, for a writ of per- | emptory mandamus against the Mayor, directing Dim to countersign the warrant for $138,000 in pay- | ment of the city’s liability for one-half the ex- gpenses incurred during the month of May on the Fourth avenue improvements, Judge Westbrook gave a verbal decision yesterday, holding that the only remedy Was by mandamus and that an action would not lie. The argument upon the point raised as to the constitutionality of the act under ‘which the work ts being done was set down for sweive o'clock to-day. ‘THE GREENWICH STREET TRAGEDY Trial of Mark Gill for the Murder of Mortimer Sullivan—The Evidence in the Case—Summing Up of Counsel—Re- corder Hackett’s Charge. The court room of the General Sessions was the centre of attraction yesterday to those who are interested in criminal proceedings, the trial of Mark Gull, charged with the murder of Mortimer Sullivan, being the first on the calendar for the way. Every seat inside and outside of the bar was occupied, and officials, jurors and spectators all weemed to be impressed with the solemnity of the | wocasion. Gill, who Is charged with premeditatedly ‘taking the life of Sullivan at a saloon in Green- ‘wich street, corner of Murray street, is a young man, not of so forbidding a physiognomy as some ‘would suppose, judging irom his language and con- uct preceding the shooting. He was attired ina (ight gray suit, wore a white necktle and occupied @ seat beside nis counsel, ex-Judge Garvin and Colonel Fellows. District Attorney Phelps and Assistant D istrict Attorney Lyon represented the people, and at the opening of the Court the trial was moved, The process of empanelling a jury in cases of murder in the first degree is customarily a farce, the object of the prisoner’e counsel being to ex- elude intelligent men who may have read the Sransaction in the newspapers, and whose minds are, therefore, mot a8 immacaiate, to use their phrase, “as a sheet of clean white paper.” In this ease, however, the counsel interposed no technical e@bdjeciions, but permitted the District Attorney to ead in the examination of the gentlemen sum- gmoned to actas jurors. The result was that ‘within one hour tweive jurors, who stated that | ‘they had no conscientious scruples in regard to capital punishment, were seated in the box. Wnen the twelith juror was sworn, Judge Garvin stated | that he had just learned that the foreman, Richard | France, occupied tue pre: where the homicide took place, and by mutual consent the juror was excused from serving. Subjoined are the names of the jury Boyle, carriage maker: Frank B. ‘nitheld, plumber; Simon Abraham, clerk; Henry S, Den- aiison, artist; Edward W. Prentice, Jeweller; James Purcell, baker; Arnold Strauss, veneers; Freder- ck W. ‘Foeller, merchant; George Pierce, mason; | Phillip Cantiin, Jr., liquors; isaac P. Greenvault, gaiesman, and Joseph M. Cohen, jeweller. | OPENING FOR THE PROSECUTION. | Assistant District Attorney Lyon then pro- @eeded to open the case for the prosecution, nar- Fating in aciear and dispassionate manner the ‘eircumstances of the killing and the facts which would be adduced to sustain the serious charge | preierred against the prisoner at the par. . As the shooting took place only two weeks ago, | the facts as they appearedin the HeraLp are al- ready iresh in the minds of our readers, so that ‘the salient points of the evidence given by the witnesses at the Coroner's investigauou need oniy | to be recapitulated, Tne first witness called was Frederick Seeber, a barkeeper, employed ip @ lager veer saloon at No. :—John 25s Greenwich street, who testified that on the | morning of the 19th of June the prisoner and Mor- timer Sullivan came in together aboat etgnt o'clock and had several rounds of drinks; they ‘were under the tafuence of liquor and commenced to wrestie; Sullivan went into the yard and Gil | came lip tn a staggering Kind of way and said, “Let me have that Knife,” meaning a large knife ‘Which was behind the lunch bar; the witness re- plied that he could not have it, and hid it away; ‘While Gill and salivan were sparring and wrest- Jing the witness thonght they were in fun; Suili- | van came out Of the yard and@wentup Marray | gtreet; that was all the witness s@w of the occur- ences of that morning. Cross-examined—The saloon where Tam em- ployed is not the place where the shooting oc- curred; they drank lager; the prisoner staggered mp to the counter and was taiking very loud and poisterous; Sullivan did not stagger; 1 saw tne ‘prisoner at four o'clock that morning, but Sullivan ‘was not with him; he drank @ wiass of rye whig- | key; he drank several times in our place on Thurs | day; on Wednesday, in the middie of the he | ‘was in the saloon and was beastiy drunk; ne laid | his head op the table and that drunken sleep Jasted one and a nalf or two hours, and [ tried to ‘wake him up; two of bis friends woke bitmup aud ‘went up Murray street with him; Gill was a car. rier and used to take care of produce wagons around the market; Ihave Known Gill for three ears; he used to refrain {rom liquor a considera- je time and then have “sprees,” and when he ‘was not on one of those spre: ie Would avoid Hiquor entirely; at the time of this killing and for several days prior to that the prisoner had been on ‘one of his sprees. ‘A recess of twenty minutes was taken, after ‘which JOHN P. WELLBROOR, the bartender employed in 0, W. Meyer’s saloon nt 269 Greenwich street, where curred, Was examined by Mr. Lyon. He testified that on the morning o/ the lvth of Jane the pris- oner and Snillvan entered the saloon about eight o'clock and remained a little over an hour; aiter they came in they called for the drinks’ and began to talk about yacht Pacing and wanted to make a bet; Gil borrowed five dollars from his ‘boss’ and Swiivan had two dollars; they wanted the witness to hold the money but he refused to do so a little while after Gill struck Stulivan in the tace, Dut he did not seem to take any notice of It, merely Jaughing; then Gill went out and was absent half | ap Bour; when he co in again Suilivanjasked him wf he was fixed or him npowr tune prisoner replied, = “Yea, am — fixed jor you: and then he put ute hand into his vest ocket and drew outa pisto! and fred towards he foor and diseharged one shot: Sullivan then said, “You can shoot me if you like, Gill;” then Ballivap said, “I will throw you tne dice;” he got the dice and threw them in fronto! the conmter; Bullivan knocked the box on the connter and said to Gill, “Beat tbat now if you cun;” Gill said, “I ‘will beat that,” and held the pistol up to Sullivan's Jace and fired; he held the pistol in bis band from the time he fired the first shot on the floor; the Pistol was nota oot away from Sullivan’agface ‘when he fired; ihe bull struck the deceased in the eye; he died afew moinents afterwards; tie wit- ness saw him move nis mouth jore he was taken out, but he did not spea aud then herap up Murray stre ervwd Whe hauoced, ‘Muller Gili walked out followed Uy a Police,” The wit. | on | mitted. the gbooting oc- | nese was cross-examined vy J Garvin at length.

CASE FOR THE DEFENCE. Counsel for tue deience called Daniel Mullane, who swore that he knew Gill since bis boyhood, and was acquainted With bis habs as to drinking. | Gill would drink once ina while, and keep sober | 8iX or seven months, but he never knew bim to be | arunk more than three times in his life. The wit- bess Saw the prisoner on tne Thursday before the | Killing; he drank fitteen times, and was so drunk that the witness left him at his own door. ‘Ann Tucker, who also knew the prisoner for eighteen years, and who kept a liquor store in | Park street, near where Gill lived; he was in her Jace drinking on the Saturday before the shoot- he. when he took asmall knife out of his pocket; she thought he was not right in his head; she | told hiru to close tt; he made @n attempt to draw iton nis neck, but did not do so; on the Thursday | (ihe day preceding the shooting) Gill was in her place; he drank several glasses of ale, and was very drunk. This was all the evidence for the defence. The District Attorney called Captain James M. Leary and asked if he interrogated the prisoner at tue station house. Counsel objected to the question, and His Honor exciuded It, THE SUMMING UP. Colonel Fellows proceeded to address the jury in | behall of the prisoner. While admitt whe | shooting he argued that the evidence ialied to | show that the act was of that cool, premeditated | quality contemplated by the new law of homicide. in the course of his argument be read copious ex- tracts from Judge Davis’ charge to the jury in the Walworth case a year ago. District Attorney Phelps, in an able. srgumnens, insisted that the evidence ciearly established the fact tout the prisoner was guilty of premeditated killing, and that it was thetr duty to find him guilty of murder in the first degree. ‘THE RECOBDER’S CHARGE. Recorder Hackett, With characteristic clearness, brevity and comprenensiveness, charged tue jury. He said that he indorsed the views oi Judge Davis, | which had been alluded to by the counsei.

Critical Condition of the Wounded Man—The Prisoner Fully Committed for the Action of the Grand Jury. The attempted murder of James P’.

On'thelr entering with the some- what deflant looking Frenchman s murmur of SUPPRESSED INDIGNATION could be heard among the numerous auditory, which did not, however, disturb the stolid pla- cidity of the prisoner. After City Judge Baird haa taken his seat on the Bench the charge of assault with intent to kill was read to the accused by the Corporation Counsel, M. H. Ellis, and to the usual interr ry Lachaume, through his counsel, waived examination and was accordingiy committed to the County Jail for the actton of the Grand Jury.

MB, BANOROPT'S PRESENTS. A MOTHER'S SORROW. A Sad Story of Domestic Unneppimsesy . + and Maternal Affection. One of these unfortunate cases of matrimofila? misery which appeal to the sympathies of the gen- erous everywhere has recently appeared tn thé social atmosphere of this city and a neigaboring village, AD unhappy and ill-advised marriage, the subsequent dissipation and jealousy of the bus» band and father, a separation, and now the forci- ble abductton of the child from its mother and her abandonment to destitution are the principal facts in the sad narrative. Scarce seven summers since quiet marriage ceremony was performed in an inland town in this State. The young couple be- gan their dual life with every promise of happl- ness. Hardly had the sound of the wedding bells ceased to be heard in the bright air castles which the young bride’s devotion conjured into being when she discovered that she was the wife of s debauchee, The honeymoon days were not ended before she was witness to Lis violent outbursts of drunken rage and asuferer from his abuse, The offer of a position of trust in ajarge dry-goods house brought the husband to the metropolis, where he and his wife took lodgings, and for a while ved peacefully. The general effect of city life upon the young man was bad, and hia weak and dissolute nature soon yielded to all its allurements, There 1s every evidence, without Maoilesting sny un- deserved sympathy, that the wife was ever unl- formiy faithful and ‘forgiving. The return to his cups soon brought FINANCIAL RUIN to the couple. Discharged by his employer, the tears of the faithiul wife were powerless dissuade the-husband from bis mad course. Little more than 4 year of such @ ile had passed woen their child wasborn. Tae mother was hopeful that the coming into lile of this little girl might work the reformation in the lather so ardently sought. Hopes and dreams are seiaom realized. The ad- vent ol the lny girl conjured up in the brain of the father a species Of moroid impulse alike inexplica- ble by science or common sensé. ‘The tather be- came jealous of lis own child. Thorough one of those strange freaks developed in foetal Ife the child soon evinced @ positive dislike for its father. Jealousy made the father’s rage something dreaaiul to witness, Never any in- sinuation that he doudted the faithfulness of Beg wile, mever any evidence that ne cared er love or respect, but always that rabid paroxysm of temper whenever the the nocent little child croased his iine o/ vision. Aside from any medical diagnosis of tus bodily condition, there is only one solution for his actions during the long, dreary years which followed, and taat is the diseased state oi his brain, induced oy intem- perace, fhe occasional paroxysms of temper ecame in time @ settled mania, and the young motner was on several occasions forcibiy re- strained from procuring medicines for her sick child, During these years the fainily had resiaed in Lockport and Westchester county. Early in ‘this year th Temoved to Setauket, on Long Isl- and, where lora time the husband seemed de- termined to mend tis ways. His manner suddenly changed foward his family, and, gradually, as it would seem, with one settled purpose in view, he won back @ place in his wile’s respect. 4 MOTHER'S LOVE, On a cuid, bleak evening in March, after a few weeks Of this passive existence, during which the mother had striven by every means in her power revent the rousing of the dangerous temper which ber husband displayed toward their child, the demoniac spirit suddenly re-entered the man’s heart. He sprung like a maniac upon his wile, dragged her over the floor to the dining room, where he pound her tight and fast in a heavy chair, Unmindtul of her screams, the infuriated man rushed to the bedside o/ the littie girl, canght the sleeping innocent in his arms and hurried out of the door into the darkness, Unable tu extricate herself, the mother passed the night in mental Indescribable. Two visitors to the house in agony tf morning released her. A momentary pause at the sice of tne empty bed, where on the meey ious nightiall she had laid her child to sleep, sufficed to awaken her to a full realization of the ureadtul state of affairs, Al- though a mother, she was utterly childless! Her own had now gone so far a8 to carry off the only object dear to her in thts world. Leaving the house just as it stood, hastily donning her wraps, without means, frienas or counsellors, this mother walked out of that home to travel the couniry over in search of her lost gir. For days and weeks her search was fruitless, She visited neighboring vil- tages in New Jersey, on Long Island, in Westches- ter county, a8 well as every piace in the metropo- lis where’ she imagined the slightest chance existed of finding her child. Almost penniless, she sought the heip of POLICE AND DETECTIVES in vain. The admonition of New York's Chief of Police to one of his most experienced oilicers “to work up the case for humanity’s sake” met with fan indifferent reception. Lawyers told her that tt would be Kida ppiny for her to take her child, should she even find the little one. Ignorant of the m: ries of the law, she trembled at ite majesty as laid down by every claptrap barrister whom she consulted. The: talked more of re- talners and costs than of cause of her misery, “Day ater , a8 | walked the streets or rode in the cars,’ said the sorrowful mother to the writer yesterday, “I always imagined that J would find my own little bright-fuced girl at the turn of the next corner or the crossin, of the next street,” Disheartened an despairing, her steps finally led the mother only a Itttie while since to Mamaroneck, in the county of Westchester, where, for the first time since the disappearance of the child in last March, she saw the little girl at the house of @ sister-m-law. She was allowed only & Jew moments with her gir!, and wae then forcibly separated from the crying child, to be only more wretched tian beiore. This motuer is now in New York. She lacks the legal counsel necessury for her to take the proper steps toward the recovery of her offspring. The simple story of a sorrowittg woman’s heart, as told above, is condensed from @ long narrative a6 it came from her lips to a reporter of the HERALD. The same justice that protects the poor, iriendiess orphan children in our strects should be able to yonghaate some relief to this sad, grie! stricken mother. usband, the cause of so much iormer misery, THE SUMMER EXODUS TO EUROPE. (From the World.) The HERALD calls attention to @ notice in the London Telegraph of a rumor that Mr. Bancrott, upon bis withdrawal from the American legation at Berlin, has received “a number of imperial pres- ents of great beauty and value,” and asks with much simplicity whether it has “become custom- ary for American Ministers to receive imperial presents of great beauty and value.” It ts quite certain, we believe, that all “imperial presents’? | of whatever beauty and value made to an Ameri- can Minister are understood to be made to the American government, and are accordingly always forwarded to the Patent Omice at Washington. | Both the Emperor William and the ress Augusta | of Germany bave many thousands of admirers in this country who will look forward with pleasure and interest to the opportunity of examining in the Patent OMice the tribares of respect and appre- ciation paid by these exalted personages, through Mr. Bancroft, to the United’States, It would have been extremely rude on the part of Mr. Bancrost to decline to receive these tokens of esteem for his country, and we may confidently expect that he will accompany them when he sends them to Washington with ap elaborate panegyric on the imperial donors, in which we hope he will have the fad taste to treat the ‘‘eifete monarchies’ of | Jurope somewhat more tenderly than he did in that too celebrated address of his at Washington, | which gave the diplomatic corps an uneasy sense of having been invited to dinner only to be dosed with Epsom salts. ‘Tue General Saloon Keepers’ Central Organisza- tion, composed of the delegates of the different ward organizations, recetly formed to insure protection under the operations of the Excise and Sunday laws, held a meeting at the Germania As- Henry Hass presided, and additional subscriptions, to the amount of $400, were paid into the treasury, making @ total of about $3,000, which is to coustitute @ fund to ay the expenses of @ probable litigation with the xcise Board, owing to @ remsal of the latter to reduce the license jee on beer {rom $100 to $50. It 18 presumed that the Excise Board, under the present Excise law, has no power. The Executive Committee reported the trial of three of the saloon keepers, who have been inateted for alleged violation of the Excise law, will not come off before ext tall, as they have been informed by Mr. Oakey Hail, who has been engaged as counsel of the organization. WHO CAPTURED SANTA ANNA? Mr. James A. Sylvester writes to the Austin (Téxas) Statesman:—‘General Robinson was one of the party, of, I think, five, with myself, that left the main body of men under General Edmund Bur- leson, at Vince’s Bridge, who, with volunteers, was in pursuit of General Santa Anna and the stragglors of his army, on the 22d, the day after the batiie. | Proceeding back’to our main camp on Buffalo Bayou, ‘we separated for the purpose of hunting.

The Russia, the flagship of the fect, left yesterday, beuring away with her 218 cabin passengers and consideravle freightin the shape of corn, tobacco and pro- visions. The preparations for her departure from the dock in Jersey City made a busy and encitng, scene. To the officers and to the Custom House oficials it was an ordinary affair, but iuil of commotion to every passenger present, ‘There was «the usual perturbation among the ladies as to the disposition of their trunks and other traps, besides the ever-stirriu, interest in regard to berths ‘and élatervoms. A’ haif-past three in the aiternoon, when goddbyes and tarewell wishes were for the hundreath time exchanged, the whistle sounded for ali to quit the steamer who had no business on board, and soon the noble Russia was swihging into the stream and neading majestically for the Atlantic.
