A motion was made in the Surrogate’s Court to have the probate of the will of Jona L, Brown, a contractor, who left an estate of about $1,000,000, reopened, on the ground that he was never law- fully separated ‘rom his first wife. He left all his property to lus second wife and her son. Argu- ment on the motion has been set down for Wea- Besday next. Gustave Burgraf, the juror who recently, in a case belore Judge Van Vorst, of the Supreme Court, declared that his opinion was not repre- sented by a verdict which he had signed, ana who ‘was threatened with punishment for contempt of Court, was yesterday aischarged, having sworn that he signed the verdict under a misapprehen- sion.

A CONTEST OVER JEWISH CEME- TERIES. A temporary injunction was granted oy Judge Donohue in Supreme Court, Chambers, some days ago, on the complaint of William M. Blume, Sam- son Roseman and George Heyman against the trustees of the wisn Congregation Temple Beth-El, to restraiff them from disinterriug the bodies of relatives of the piaintifs ana others from twoof the Jewish cemeteries in this city. The matter came belore Judge Barrett in Supreme Court, Chambers, yesterday, on a motion to make the injunction perpetual, ex-Judge Cardozo ap- pearing for tne plaintiffs, and George H. Gearnon, Ferditand Kurtzman and William Strauss for defendants, ‘rhe complaint sets forth that in 1828 the con- gregation Ansol Chesed was orginized by act of the Legislature as a corporation of orthodox He- brews; that subsequently the Adas Jeshurun was incorporaied as a congregation of Reiormed fHe- of sixth avenue, de~ t rty-fith and Forty-sixth streets, and on the south side of Eighty-uinth street, between Madison and Filth avenues, as burial grounds; that both were consecrated according to the rit and ceremunies of tne 0 thodox Jews; Chesed congregation were entitled to burlal ther that members of their famtues were buried there ago, and that it 13 a doctrine of the orthodox Hebrews vot to disinter the deat. The complaint further states that lor twenty-five rs interments in these grounds were forvidden by the cl y aathorities, but that said cemeteries, d with the junds of the Ansnt Chesed, 'd hol In 1873 the trusiees of the Anshi Chesed, contrary, it is alleged, to the wishes of @ number O1 the Members of the coogregation, amalgamated with the Adas Jeshuran and formed @ peW congregation chartered as the Temple Bethn-El, an amaigamation which the compiatn- ants hold to be illegal. The trustees of the new congregation g@ve notice that on a certain day the bodies of those buried itu the two cemeteries should be disinterred and removea to Temple Beth-B£1’s uew Union Fiela Cemetery, whicn plains ults alleze to Le unnecessary, a Viviation of the feelings of or:hodox Hebrews, and meant to be done irom mercenary motives—(hat 1s, an order to sell the ceme'eries for building tots. The answer denies tha: there is any doctrine of the Hebrews toroidding disintermeat of the dead. It seis forin that tiere 18 Do such congregation as Anshi Chesed, it having been amalgamated with the other; that Temple Beth-Ei is existing under act of Legisiature, and is owner o/ ali the property of Anshi Chesed; that, owing to the rapid I growth of the city, the cemeteries in Guestion are unsuitable for such @ purpose; are surrounded by business houses, aud covered with fitn aud gar- to remove tne that delendunts only propos lor decent interment ina their Own expense, and that if tue lots a the proceeds will be devoted to coaritabl poses. £x-Judge Cardozo insisted that it was not com- petent tor the trustees as for a majority o1 the corporators of the Ansoi Chesed to transfer its property, and thus put tue corporation out of e istence, against the dissent oO! those who oojecte that the Court bad power only to consent to a sale of the property of a religious corporation, not to & disposition of tts property, wnict destroyed it. He cited tae Baptist charch case in the Court of Appeals and many other authorities. He argued further tnat the act ol the Legisiature subsequently passed, confirming the transier Was unconstitutional; that the Legisiature could transier the property of a corporation to anotuer against the ovjection of any corporator; | that, there being Do trustees of the Ansht ed the only persons who could bring the suit were the corporators themselves, and that if & act of consolidation was void then the Beth-El nad no rigntto interfere with the prop. ory, and that therefore the injunction snoui stant Tnese views were controverted by Mr. Kuzman, who claimed that tne act of the Legisiature con- orming what the majority had done covered the whole diMculty and made the transier valid. Ex-Judge CsrGozo oriefy replied, and the Court took the papers and reserved the decision. DECISIONS. SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS, By Judge Barrett.

The two bills now pending before the Legis! ture in relation to the administration of justice in th#$ city have naturally formed the themes of animated discussion on the part of lawyers, judges and ofciais generally connected with tne municipal government. The chang proposed are quite extensive, and if carriea out would matertally alter the mode of administering crim- inal justice in New York. The bills here alluded to are, of course, those of Senator Fox and Mr. Waenner. The first, which has already been passed by the Semate and sent to the Assembly for con- currence, would totally change the complexion of the Court of Special Sessions. That Court ts pre- sided over alternately by three police justices, who siton three days of the weex—on luesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays—to dispose of cases of misdemeanor, such as petit larceny, malicious mischief, cruelty to animais, assault and battery and other petty oflences of that character. Sena- tor Fox’s bill contemplates the appointment of two justices, tobe nominated by the Mayor and confirmed by the Board of Aldermen, who, in con- Junction with a third, to be selected vy the Board of Police Justices, are hencefortn to preside over tnis Court. MR. WAEHNER'S BILL. The second bill, introduced by Mr. Waenner, 1s still more Important, creating, as it does, an en- tirely new court, to be called the “Central Crim- inal Court,’ which 1s to be endowed with co-ordt- nate jurisdiction with the Court of General Ses- sions (except im cases of murder, arson and for- gery). and to be presided over by two judges— appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the Board of Aldermen, whose terms of office are to be fourteen years. These jadges are to be paid $10,000 & year. The bill provides also for the appointment of @ chief clerk, two as- sistant clerks and a stenographer, ana for an ad- ditional assistant district attorney to attend to the business of the new court. It will be seen that the last-named measure is a rich placer jor ofice- seekers, creating no less than seven iat new om- ces, The law, it must be remarked, 1s careful to stipulate that the assistant district attorney spall “ve paid the same as other assistant district at torneys are now paid,” aod they enjoy a very generous saiary. In the way of salaries alone the expense entailed by this new court would proba- ply not fall short of $50,000 a year, and otuer ex. penses would swell that amount very consider- ably. This bill will be favorably reported by the Jadictary Committee of the Assembly, I! it bas not been already. WHY THIS ADDITIONAL EXPENSE ? | ADaMs, botn o! Brookiyn. but he replied that this dimeulty could ed Without additional expense to tne city by transierring the prisoners sentenced for days fo other quarters, and estaolishing tt as an invariable rule to Keep ia the City Prison only persons accused of crimes, CONCLUSIONS, While Senator Fox’s vill nas some advocates in this city—among whom our worthy Recorder is sJoremost—the opposition to Mr. Waehner's bill among lawyers, judges and others well Digh unanimous. Jt is generali: the Court of General Sessions it present wants, more especially as it might eve! now hold double sessions witout further expen: to the taxpayers. As regards the probability of the passage of the two bilis the impression among weil-iniormed politicians is that senator Fox’s measure Will be aaopted, while that of Mr. Wael- ner will be di ed. A FIENDISH PLOT. DARING ATTEMPT TO THROW A HUDSON RIVER EXPRESS TRAIN OFF THE TRACK, A diabolical attempt to throw an express train off the track of the Hudson River Railroad was made at Dobb's Ferry, Westchester county, a night or two ago. It appears that about nine o’clock on the night in question @ woman living @ snort dis- tance north of the passenger depot at the place named saw fve men working (apparently 10 the dark) at the switch on the down track, and whico is located nearly opposite her dwelling, ‘The Woman's suspicions having been areused as to the object of 1he men, she called out, demanding to know what they were doing, and on being an- sSwered by @ Volley of ston she hastened to inform the station agent of the matter, Mean- time the strangers, on secing that Lhey had been detected at their nelarious Operations, fled, leaving benimd them a stout crowbar and dark lantern, An immediate examination of the spot demonstratea thal the miscreants had endeavored to open the Switch, with the evident intention of wrecking the Montreal express train. which passes Dobb's Ferry at about uarter past nine o'clock; and a8 16 travels at @ speed of about thirty-five or forty miles per hour, the sacrifice of human life must have been great had the parties succeeded in ac- complishing their fendisi work. It is believed that the operators were New York vileves, whose object Was to piunder the passengers alter the train bad been wrecked, THE BOGUS INSURANCE AGENT'S FATE. Louis E. French, secretary of the bogus Palisade Insurance Company, who was convicted in tife Court of Quarter Sessions at Jersey City of con- Spiracy to dejraud, was called up for sentence yesterday, The prisoner was accompanied by his wile when he was placed at the bar, and she manifested ail the constancy and devotion which characterized her during the trial, While the Court was passiig sentence reierence was made to her fidelity, which brought a gush of tears to her nd the prisouer hitsel., with all his hardy The Court remarked that tt was iigence engaged in a business so disreputabie, e: pecially when he belonged to a respectavie family, In consideration of the entreaties of bis fanuly and the iact that he had been seven months in n, the sentence of the Covrt would be one and @ balfin the State Prison.

Traius leave Thirtieth street depot at 10:30 As the taxpayers cf New York groan already under an evormous burden of taxation It bas been | geueraily asked, “Why incar this vast additional outlay?” In support of Senator Fox's bil! for changing the Court of Spectal Sessions, it is urged that the present Police Justices have enough to do with their police court business; that they are in favor of this bill, desiring to be relieved from | attending to the Special Sessions; that the Tombs is overcrowded with prisoners owing to the lack | of judges, and, finaliy, that it is unjust to persons | charged with crime to bring them Jor trial before the very justices who commitied them, and who | thereby must bave received an impression as to the case. In behaifof Mr. Waenaer’s bill, creating &@ new criminal court, the overcrowding of the | city prison 18 used as the main argument. The writer was sent yesterday to investigate the truth of these statements and to ascertain the views of those officials who are in a pusition to juage authoritatively of the merits of these proposed measares. GENERAL DRIFT OF OPINION, enator Fox's bill is concerned the ssed by members of the Bar and ly at variance. Some of the pres- ent Police Justic javor Senator Fox's vill, bat Justice Smiia » yesterday tn: ar as he could judge irom his conversa‘ions witha several Of is associates they seemed vo De Opposed tO It. He admitted that the Volice Jusvices were some- | what pressed with Work, but Laought that Was no | suilicient reason to saddie tue taxpayers with an additional burden 0{ $16,000a sear. In regard to the argument toat it was nofair to try prisoners before the same jast'ce who bad committed them pe said tuat ihe Court of Special Sessious gen- eraliy acted Unanimously and (bat 1% always re- quired two justices to convict. He cunsidered that @ very Weak, ‘aliactous arzumeot. thority a» regarde the i tice, Was in favor of the Fox and oppused to that of Mr. Wa thought the Courts of General Sessions and lerminer wold be equal to all demands if the Supreme Coart Judges could be induced to | devote more of their time vo the criminal business | of the last mentioned Court, Me sail that the Over and Terminer had only disposed of filty-rour indictments last year, with seven justices at its while the two jadges of the General ad disposed of o0 jess than 1,690 mudict- ir ce,” be said, “und adjourned ior a month, whiie they might have dope a great deal in the Oyer ana Te:miner im that time. If one or two | of tne Supreme Court Judges would only hold the Oyer aad Terminer throaghout the year, just as the General Sessions were held, all the demands Of justice could eastiy be complied with. Aitoough | Recorder Hackett Was in javor of senator Fox's biil, or @ mMustiplicity oO} reasons, he ye. considered the argument, that @ prisoner should nor be tried belore the justice Who committed him, erroneous, DISTRICT ATTORNEY PHELES’ VIEWS. District Attorney Poelps was devidediy opposed king ture especially of Mr. Waehner’s measure, he said there had vever been 80 few prisouers in the lombs awaiting trial at the Court of General Sessions as there were now. In his opinion the present arrangements were | quite su™cient even without taxing the Supreme Court Judges more in the lavare, 1) tos bil Was passed there was no end to vhe auditional ex- penses that might be imeurred, The new Court would require a stad of officers and pernaps even @ speciai Grand Jury. I! the eMlciency of (ne Wen- fai Sessions Was simply to be increased, the best thing Wonla be to aud a (hird to the two Judges now presiding over tat Court ana to order holding double sessions continuously.
