THE COURTS. Tpfunction Suit Against the Elevated Railroad Company. A STRANGE BANK STORY. ‘City Railroads and Their Snow Ploughs. (IMPORTANT REAL ESTATE SUIT. In the case of George Hughes, against whom the government has brought an action to recover $100,000, as neretofore reported, there was an argument yesterday, before Judge Blatchford, as to the admissibility of the evidence offered. Judge Blatchford took the papers. Mra. Isadore Grad, indicted by the Grand Jury of the United States Court for alleged complicity in the smoggiing of silks, yesterday gave bail in $2,000, before United States Commissioner Shields, ‘to appear for trial, ‘The suit brought by the House of Mercy against the city to vacate an assessment upon six lots, recently added to its real estate, was yesterday decided by Judge Van Vorst, before whom it was triea, in Supreme Court, Special Term, in favor of the institution. <.im the suit brought by Mrs, Lawrence B. Jerome against Luther C. Clark, of the firm of Clark, Dodge & Co., anda Jobn J. Cisco to recover $5,000 subscribed by her as part of a loan to the Chiton iron Company, the particulars of which have been published, Judge Van Brunt, holding Su- Preme Coart, Circuit, before whom the case was tried, dismissed the complaint this morning. The | dismissal was on the ground that the money was not paid to the defendants, but to the Treasurer of the company, and that they were in no way accountabie for it to the plaintut, THE ELEVATED RAILROAD. The question of the right of the Elevated Rail- foad Company to extend its road or lay down any additional track has come velore the courts for settlement. A suit has been commenced by David Haight and others to restrain the extension of the road, and especially to prevent the building of a track in front of houses owned by them on Greenwich street, between Horatio and Bank streets, The plaintiffs set forth im their complaint that the time for the building of the road having expired tne com. pany has norightto extend it, and that the gen- eral railroad act does not apply to the case, It is further claimed taat the extension of the road in tront of their houses, througa the noise caused by passing cars and the smoke and cinders of the locomotives will inevitably greatly depreciate the value of tnaeir property as dwellings. An injunc- tion has therefore been asked for restraining such extension. A motion for such injunction came up for bey Sereda yesterday in Supreme Coart, Cvam- bers, betore Judge Lawrence, Mr. Shaffer, on beialf of the plaintiffs, made @n extended argument setting forth atiength the grounds upon which the application is based. He began by reviewing the various acts of the Legislature in regard to the road tn the int- Siatory act of incorporation, the corporate name being, as stated, “fhe New York and Yonkers Experimental Railroad Company.” In this act it was specified, he insisted, that the propelling power should ve a stationary engine and cable—a Provision which, he alleged, had never been changed. For this reason be urged that the intro- duction of dummy engines was tilegal. In the course of bis remarks he aiiaded to the project by this road of traversing every tentn street of the city, Of having their roads over Central Park—a gridiron projectavhich he was very thankful Gov- ermor Dix had the sense to veto, and on account of which be was very sorry he bad not voted for him. Coming down to the present time he con- tended that Lhe road, pot having been built within the specified time, leit the directors of the oad without any foundation in law, in nubibus io fact. He enlarzed on the question of fare, which he claimed was placed im excess of that allowed by tae charter, and declared that the road instead of being of public use was a fraud and ex- tortion in being run Wituout any warrant or authority of law. As to the complainants, he said that they belonged to the old Knickerbocker stock of the city, were born and married in the houses they now live in, nad given their sons and daughters in marriage there aud hoped to die there, without the noise, dust, smoke, cinders pad general nuisance of an elevated steam tailway. Mr. Tracy, in reply. made an equally elaborate argument. He also reviewed the acts of toe Leg- igiature in respect to the road, and claimed that it was bought by the present owners of the former owners Witn ali its riguts and franchises and was now being run under the General Railroad act. He claimed that under this act tuey were entitied touse dummies and construct such turnouts as they required. They proposed to construct two turnouts, one at Franklin street, to which there was no opposition, and one at Bank street, the Opposition to wiich constituted the basis of the present action. He insisted tuat to carry out this plan of giving a seat to every passenger and prop- erly accommodare those riding over their roaa they needed these turnouts, and be saw no reason why the Court should inter.ere. Consideribie further discussion followed, and at the close Judge Lawrence took the papers, hola- ing his decision in reserve. A BANK ROMANCE. Many marvellous stories are related of absence of mind, but an instance of obliviousness as to one’s bank account, brougat to ligit in the court yesterday, takes precedence in this class of nar- ratione. P. Lorilard Ronald deposited some money several years ago in the Mechanics’ Nation- a! Bank. “Do you know there is $6,750 to your credit in the Mechanics’ National Bank 7’ an ex-official of the bank asked him not long since. “No,” answered Ronald; ‘you must be mis- taken. My bank book was balanced long ago.” “I am telling you the cruty,’ continued the e@x-official. “Weill, it is worth looking after,” replied Ronald. He did look aiter it. He went to the bank, stated the case, as he alleges, and was told it w. mot so. fe did not give up the matter here, but persisted im nis determination to have the affair thoroughly inquired into, when, Mnally, the correctness Of the statement was acknowledged and the n.oney paid to tim. But between the de- posit of the money and its payment seven years ad elapsed. A “happy thougut” siruck Ronald, He forthwith ‘booked it.’ ‘ibis was to get pay- ment of interest for seven years on the money. This the bank relased to pay, and he ac- cordingly brougnt suit again the bank to compel its payment. ‘he case came to trial yesterday in the Superior Court, Circuit, Part 1, beiore Judge sSpeir. It took but @ short time to put in tne testimony for the prose- cution, developing the facta related avove, soon asthe plainti’s last witness bad left the etand 8 motion was made, on vehall of the de- to dismiss the complaint,on the ground acceptance of the principal was @ bar to re- covery of interest. ‘This was argued long and learnedly, and then Judge Speir denied the mo- tion, atter which @ recess was taken. assembling of the Court counsel announced to the Court that in the interview the case had veen settled by piaintin agreeing to accept $1,800. And thus ended the suit. CITY RAILROADS AND SNOW PLOUGHS. John Taylor Johnston, the well known President ofthe New Jersey Central Railroad, whose rest- dence is at the corner of Fifth avenue and Eighth street, has invoked the courts to see if it is not possible in some way to prevent city railroad com- panies from obstructing sidewalks through throw- ing snow from their tracks on to the sidewalks by means Of snow pioughs and sweepers. He has ap- plied for an injunction against the Christopher and Tenth Street Crosstown Railroad Compauy, restraining them trom obstructing the sidewalk 1m front ot his residence in the manner stated. ‘The case came up jor argument yesterday before Judge Robinson, tn Special Term of the Court of Common Pleas, it was insisted in the argument for the injunction that the system at present in vogue by wie diferent ratiroad companies of clearing their tracks of snow is a perfect nutsance ; that it Prevents private citizens irom keeping their sidewalks ciear (rom snow, a8 required oy statute, and that no such abuse o! private rights Was contemplated by the Legislature in their ‘Ihe defence was that the railroad tracks must, in any event, de kept Clear of snow, for the accommodation of the pubiic; that this is & work of necessity and canuot be avoided; that the present winter has been an unusually severe ODe, and that private citizens must expect to put ‘up with minor Erievances, for the better convent ence of the publtc generally. At the conclusion of the argument Judge Robin- #00 took the papers, r ‘ving his decision, A BROOKLYN LAND SsuvIT. An interesting case against the city of Brooklyn, involving land to the value of $250,000, in its occu- pation as a street, was argued yesterday at Al, told bany, before the Court of Appeals, by Mr. S, B. | sent of the Captain's wife NEW YORK HERALD, ‘Higendotam for the claimants and Corporation Counsel De Witt for the city.

' WATERING MILK, Ayouth named John Smith was arraigned at the bar of the Court of Special Sessiuns yesterday morning on a charge of adulterating milk. When the case was called every one expected racy do velopments concerning mountains of chalk and exhaustiess hydrants. No such interesting testl+ mony was adduced. When the first witness had been examined, ail the facts were out. Smith, i¢ appeared, was the driver of a milk wagon, and Bpart of his duty seemed to be to wa'er the mi Omcer Lepson swore that on the morning of the 12th of Fevruary the prisoner drove up to the depot corner of Franklin and Cen- tre streets to get his milk. and that alter putting the cans on his wagon he drove out dnto Frankiin street and proceeded to introduce iresh water into the cans. While thus employed the oiticer ar- rested him, and on testing the milk it was iound to be far below the standard at which pure milk is gauged. Smith swore that he did not put the water into the mtik, he Was only washing out the cans. Was immediately paid vy the boy’s empivyer. THROWING YITRIOL. Wiiliam Bergh, who was charged in one of the Police courts a few days since by Aun Murphy with having thrown vitriol at her, was yesterday | arraigned at the bar of the Special Sessions, Mrs. Murphy swore that Berg) had thrown the acid on | her, but on cross-examination it was developed that she did not see him, she was told he had done it by her little grandson, Barney. Barney was called, but as he was too smali to be sworn an ci- ficer litted him up and sat iim on the Bibie, from the seat of which the lttle feliow told his rambling little story, much to the amusement of the Court. He told of how he had seen Bergn take out from his pants! ocket a bottle and suake something out of it on is grandmother’s dress. Judge thougat be had a point on the uttle fellow when he asked, “ilow did the man take the cork out of the botue? You say ne had a pail of water in his other band.” pulled the cork out with his hand,” said Barney. Ali would have been well for the Murphy cause had not little Barney been induced by the counsel for Bergh to go into an explanation of what vitriol was. The evidence being insufficient Bergh was dis- cbarged. COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. Before Recorder Hackett. BURGLARIES AND LARCENIES—THEFT OF A HUNDRED-DOLLAR BILL—PETIT LARCENIES.

Ten Thousand Buildings Without Water. A HARVEST FOR PLUMBERS. Suggestions from a Practical Civil Engineer. THE ICE IN THE HARBOR. Sound and River Navigation Greatly Impeded. The thermometer continues far below the frcez- ing po:nt, and the trouble about frozen water pipes and useless street hydrants knows no abate- ment, Indeed, the diMiculty attending the supply of water so necessary to personal comiort and cleanliness is increasing, despite the earnest en- deavors of owners, tenants and plumbers. The Jact is that neverin the history of this city has there been known so many dwelling houses to be deprived of water by the severe cold weather as now. There is hardly a awelling or public build- ing in the city where more or less inconvenience has not been felt by the treezing of the pipes. The hotels have been greatly embarrassed, while saloon keepers state that not only are they de- Prived of water, but their beer tanks, soda foun- tains and even barrels of liquor had to succumb to the cold. Thousands of dollars’ worth of vere- tables nave been destroyed by the :rost through- out the city, and particuiarly among the stuck of the wholesale dealers, as they have had no means of heating their buildings, 's TENEMENT HOUSES. It ts diMcult to describe the great suffering tnat the occupants of tenement houses are aaily com- pelled to endure for the want of water, Along avenues CO and D, as well as on the cross strecis, in the Eleventh and Seventeenth ward, scarcely @ tenement house couid be found yesterday where the water nas not been frozen, while in all ofthem where the water 18 running it does not reacn tne second story. Men, women and children can be seen running here and there with pails bringing Water from nydrants fortunately not closed. Along East Houston street four buildings were Jound, containing eighty-five families and con- sisting of nearly 300 persons, In these varrack- like dwellings not a particle of water have the tenants been avle to procure from any ot the hydrants for over two weeks, The agent re- fuses to bave them thawed out, giving as @ reason, like Dean Swift’s man _ servant, that they will oaly freeze up again, and it would be a foolish expenditure of money. Some Of the occupants have togoas far as three and four blocks for water required in the common ex- igenctes of life. A Visit to some of the rear yards and alleyways leading to the “Barracks,” in what is known as “Africa” in Thompson street, near Spring; “Cur- ries row,” in West Houston street, Rag Picker’s row, on avenue 0, and many other places in the eity of 8 similar description reveaied the fact that they were filled with ice and ashes to the depth of three and four fect, the water at the out-door hy- drants nave been allowed to run continually, until the whole yards and alleyways became deluged and the whole mass frozen solid. THE HOTELS have also been greatly inconvenienced by the insufficient supply of water, many have men constantly engaged watching the pipes to prevent them irom treezing, yet, with all these precau- many of the upper floors. Tue freezing of the @as pipes has also been a great annoyance, and some Of the hotel a ee find it hard work to keep @ decent light iu their respective nouses, But in such hotelsas the St. Nicholas, Grand Central, Filth Avenue, Everett House and others the proprietors have secured a suMicient supply. They have also taken precaution to see that their fire hydrants are in good work- ing order, 80 that in case of _ fire they will be in no danger of any serious damage or loss. ‘the St, Nicholas Hotel has hydrants on every floor, with fiity teet of hose to every hy- drant, so that they can at a moment’s notice bring @ stream to bear upon any one point in the building. The servants are ail drilled, and should @ fire take place @ certain number of waiters re- paw immediately to map the hose, others to Station themselves on the several floors to guard the rooms, while the rest go to various stations so move tt from the buildinz. The Grand Ventral and Fifth Avenue hotels have also had their fire plugs examined and tueir dummy engines ready, So tnat water can be lorced to any part of the hotel, The proprietors of the Westminster Hotel, the Grand Central Hotel, the St. James, the Hoffman, the Coleman, Gilsey, Sturtevant, Brunswick and Everett houses have taken similar precautions to see that their fire bydrants and fire extinguishers are all in complete order. There is one excellent feature found in many of these large hotels, which is that they have ail so large a supply of hose that they can be of good service at a fire anywhere within one block of them, THE FERRY COMPANIES have taken great precavtions to keep all the hy- | drants about the several jerry houses open, in order that they will be able to be of some service jin case of fire. The Fulton Ferry Com- pany have had | put inte good condit as bas also the Jersey City, Hoboken and Staten I[siand terries, There is hardly a hydrant to be found along the pters, or on West or south street, up. ‘he Superintendent of the Hovoken ferry hes placed on duty a doubie watch at the Barclay and Christopher street ierries, while the heavy tres are kept up to warm the Jerry houses so that no danger Can accrue from the same. AMONG THE PLUMBERS, The private residences up town seem to suffer greatly jor the wantof water and cas. Along | Futh “avenue, Madison avenue and the cross streets, especially on Park avenue and Murray | Hil, the plumbers are constantly at work over- hauling and thawing out the pipes. coid speli has been w harvest to the plumbers and gas fitters, and they cannot get men enough todo the work given them. One firm ia Amity street states that during the Jast ten days they have not had jess than one bundred calls a day to repair water and gas pipes, aud on two occa- sious thelr orders reached 160 aday. Another firm on Sixth avenue bas forty men at work, while another on Third avenue is working sixty- three, Some of the plumbers attribute the treez- ing up of so many ptpes to the miserabie material | usea and the mode o/ pucting pipes through buila- ings and their connection with the street. They | State that arcittects as a general thing do not consider the importance of having pipes well se- | cured In a buuding, treating the subject with in- | difference. While the owners or builders seek to have the work done at the lowest possible rates impossibility fora plumber to put in first 3 material or do the work in a workmanlike | manner at the prices paid. The following tavle will give some idea of the effect that the cold Weather has had on private and public buildings. Tne figures were obtat ed | by visits to over luv plumbers throughont the city, The plumoers reportea the number of places that ! eecded their services during the past week as 1ollows:— Wards, 13. 13. ret 1 16, 17 1. VIBWS OF AN ENGINEER, An experienced architect and civil engineer writes to the HERALD and states that experience has taugnt him that in “culm,” or the waste product of coal breakers, we have an almost cer- tain preventive against the action o/ frost, waich rarely penetrates these vast banks of coal dust more than twenty inches. Water pipe that are laid under two feet of culm and one foot of earth are seldom if ever affected by frost. Interior pipe: boxed and packed with this material, have p: through the most trying seasons. Terrace walls and aii kinds of retaining walls ee ere pro- tected by @ thickness of two feet culm bebind and next to them. By this means moisture is m entering the wall, and ti of of the face-pointing, tl ing and ba! of the wall, is thus obviated. The same writer says he has jound siate an excellent substitute for iron in coal hole covers and for the treads of iroa and stone steps.

The ice ts still at least nreeen menes thick above Poughkeepsie, and when it is suddenly loosened, a8 may now be expected at any wee probably the worst biockade of the winter wil ensue, and more inconvenience and delay will be endured by the suffering citizens of New York. AS the Brooklyn Bridge, When built, will be of no service to the Jerseymen, and as tie North River ‘Tunnel 18 still tn the dim future, a proposition Las been made for an improved form otf ferry steam- ers, whica will be able to force a passage through any ice lable to be encoun tered in the vicinity of New York. Pad- dies are to be abolished, and in their stead a sunken screw 18 to be attached a few leet irom each extremity of the boat. A plough or ram will project trom each end, powertul enough to shatter ice of a foot or more in thickue Guards will be dispensed with, which will b convenience tn entering the slips, | F. above and below the water line these novel crait ‘Will be encased in boiler tron, thus obviating the danger of being cut through by the ice. Some- thing better than the present system is surely needed, and it is said that several inprcvvements have been presented, which, itis hoped, may ia the ‘uture prevent a repetition of the sceues of the present winter. ON TH® NORTH RIVER there was plenty of ice auring the whole of yes- terday, but it was so bioken by the continious attacks of ferry steamers and other crait that it offered, with but few exceptions, no ubstacles to Bavigation. The river was divided into alternate ribbons of ice and clear water, aud the bergs that have gleamed so picturesquely for the last few days were no longer noticeable. The slips along the entire river iront continue frozen tast, and each successive tide adds to the barricade at the entrance. In some cases @ breastwork of several feet in height has been formed from the end of one pier to another, and behiud tt caval boats and lighters are snugly imprisoned, Business on the river was much more brisk than at any time since the first blockade. The ferries ail ran regularly except the Une irom Twenty-third street, whose slip 13 deeply frozen. ‘1hts neighborhood has been the scene of the most severe accumulaticn of ice during the Winter. The flatness ol the shores and the com- parative shallowness of the water make it a good oy Dae for the descending floes. The Fail River boats have concluded to stop running en- Urely until the Sound opens suificiently for them to take their usual course, a3 the steamers of this line are not suited to vutside Davigation. The Stonington line will despaten its Tegular boats by way of Sandy Hook. Great quan- tities of freight have accumulated along tne North River awaiting transportation, and it is ieared eae serious luss may result from the unavoidable delays. THE EAST RIVER was filled with floating ice, but the ferryboats ran through tt without difficuity, Each day seems to diminish the icy ovstructions, aud if it were not for the impending avala: che from the Hudson New Yorkers might congratulate themselves that the worstis over. In the bay there is still much trouble experienucea, and several sailing craft are below awaiting an opportunity to reach the city. Readers of the HERALD will remember that two Seals floated up the North River several days ago and that only one returned Yesterday au- other of the saine trive, which has been in the Lower Bay for two weeks post, visited the city, possibly to see what Had become of Ms missing comraae, or perhaps en route tor Barnum’s.

SEVENTY-SEVEN FISHING VESSELS ICE-BOUND IN THE BAY—SUFFERINGS OF THE FISHERMEN— PERILOUS ATTEMPTS TO WALK ON THE ICE— Boston, Feb. 18, 1875. Notwithstanding the softening weather the re- Ports are to the effect that there is no change in the ice-bound vessels at Hightand Light, The ice 1s very firm and men pass toand from the shore every day. The steamtug Major arrived off Prov- incetown at ten a. M. with twenty fishermen and a crew of seven men on board. Signals of distress were flying from several fishing schooners and prompt efforta to force the tug through the ice pity | Deen orought to the attention of Captain Addison | tance from land the ice was ronning very heavily, | and the tad to avoid all chance of the ship | I _______£$O ll were made, dat after cutting through for some distance further progress was obs‘ructed by the mass of ice, and sleds were loaded with bags of coal, barrela of water and flour and groceries, WALKING ON THE ICE, One of the crew of the Major started out with e sled load of these suppiles, but after going a iew yards the ice sank under him wetting nim up to his knees, when by a sudden spring, which sent the coai fying in every direction, he reached sure footing and proceeded. Others | started out irom the tug and got along prey fairly, finally reaching the fishermen with three bags of cowl, one barrel of water, one barre! of flour and a quantity of groceries. Some of the fishing craft had a supply of provisions for eight days, and none of them scemed to lack for ‘00a, but they were short of iuel and fresh water, so they set signals of distress, The Major strugglea about three ours tn getting out of the t r which she steamed for Boston, arriving at nour last might, THE ICE-BOUND VESSELS. There was but littie change in tne condition of the dishing vesseis frozen in off Provincetown this morning compared with that of yesterday. Dur ing the migOt @ strong and piercing northwess wind prevailed, which served to freeze still harder the sea of ice in which ¢he unlucky vessels are bound. This morning the inlet through wbich the revenue cutter Gallada (Captain Seldop) bad found its way on Wednes- day was frozen over and was not oped to naviga- tion. During the night the schooner Henry Paul, lying ashore, was driven further up. Her cargo. will be discharged as soon ag possiole and vessel, which is valued at will be gotten of in a day or two. At ts expected to be got off in such @ condition thas balfot her worth will be realizea at auction by her owners. The work of taking out the cargo ol the wrecked schooner John Rommell was begun ths Morning, and the vessel itself was to be sold by auction tm the afternoon, The ma- jority of the members of the crews of the vessels furthest ous from land it is well knowm would desert their craft if they thougnt it would be safe to do so, Although the ice apparently is» solid sheet there are many air holes and some of the dshermen that bave traversed it in regaining the shore bave bad eeveral narrow escapes irom drowning. SUFFERING OF THE FISHERMEN. The fishermen and citizens of the town generally ; express indignation at the statement by Captain Smita to Mayor Cobb, of this city, a few days since, to the effect that there was no suffering or destitu- tion among the crews oi the vessels frozen in. It is @ positive fuct that the crews of some halt dozen fishing vessels were in distress im this regard. Yesterday it was reported by a sailor, irom one of the vessels tuat he had leit his captain and three other men with only & small pan of four to subsist on. Kishermen be~ longing to one of five Gioucester vessels lying o1 ‘Truro, came ashore on the ice tiis morn ing and took passage for thetr homes. In conversation they said that provise fons were scarce, but when they had leit there Was food on some of the vessels sumicient to last toree days, The crews of these vessel: however, suffered for want ol fresh water, wha ney did have Deing taken trom tue way and was uuilt to be dramk. Altogetuer there are now seventy-seven vessels in the tee. It Was expected that the schooner Wyoming, lying mm the vicinity of the point from which the Katy was successfully cleared yester- day vy ‘he Gauatin, would be got off tis evening, roviling the revenue cutter could penetrate the harbor torough the ice whicn nad formed during the night, near the head, THE FISHING FLEET. Just at present there is but litcie danger to the crait frozen in; and the only serious fear enteriained by the seamen and owners of vessels is that a stormy northeast gale may in a day or two set tn. Captain Snow, of tae Custom flouse. who has since Monday lust made the town bis headquarters with a view of iooking alter the needs of such distressed fishermen ag mignt reach the shore, came up to-day. He will return again 80 soon as there 18 the least prova- villty Ola breaking up Of the ice, in which case soine of the vessels, it is thought, will go to pieces, ‘The revenue cutter Gallatin, Captain J, M.

The totai loss of the schooner Uenrietta, of Boston, bear The Graves at the moutn of Boston harbor ana the late severe Weather are strong ar- guments in support of the suggestions made by Cuaptam Tallon, master of the Henrietta, and other old seafaring men, who have for years seen and urged the rreat necessity for better protection to vessels entering Boston har bor, A light on The Graves would be appreciated by thousands of masters and sailors wno now have to depend upon charts and a knowledge of the coast in fading the deep channel, especially . in thick Weather.
