4 ~ “THE COURTS. John Dolan on.Trial for the Murder of James H. Noe. APLEA IN ABATEMENT OVERRULED | The Judgment for the City Against | the Watson Estate. MINOR WRANGLING FOR SPOILS. Very rarely is acase brought to trial in this city around which hinges so many points of interest as that a of John Dolan, accused of the murder of Jumes H, Noe, in Greenwich street,on the 22d of August last, The peculiar circumstances of the homicide are still ‘too fresh in the public memory to require repetition in detail, After the terrible rencontre of Mr. Noe with ‘the burgiarious intruder in bis store; after bis assassin had escaped, and after an impossib¥ity on the part of Mr, Noe to particularize his assailant with any degree of mi- ‘muteness that was likely to lead to his capture, and after fhe death of Mr. Noo, when nearly ali hope was ‘abandoned of the discovery of his murderer, a chain of | ‘circumstances gradually developed itself which finally esulted in the arrest of Dolan and his present arraign- NEW YORK HERALD, T By Judge Larremore. Levy ve. Solomon.—No authorities for such allow- ance. Holmer va Hefuer,—Allowance granted to the de- fendant, SUMMARY OF LAW CASES. Judge Larremore, of the Court of Common Pleas, granted an injunetion yesterday forbidding John Col- ville and David Jackson from constructing a sewer through the lot of Robert Stewart. The answer of MeSsrs. Moller Sons, the insolvent sugur firm, to the suit of Perry & Co., for $5,288 1 and Taylor & Co. for $47,342 53, is substantially a ge eral demal, Judge Lawrence yesterday struck out the answer as frivolous. On application made yesterday on behalf of the Long Island Railroad Company a temporary injunction was granted by Judge Lawrence, tn Supreme Court, Cham- bers, restraining the Long “Island City Shore Railroad Company from laying a track in Borden avenue. Jn the Kerrigan contempt matter some testimony was taken yesterday before the referee appointed by Judge Lawrence. Though’ rather un amusing session, through occasional interruptions by Colonel Kerrigan, only one branch of the alleged contempt was finished. ‘The second branch will be taken up on Thursday. ‘A further hearing in the matter of the British gov- ernment vs, Jotm E. Hall, alias Edward Hall, | Charged with uttering a forged letter of credit on the | Bank of British North America, was had yesterday be- | United States Cox oner Osborn, No new | of interest were developed, The examination will be resumed on Saturda In the Untied States Circuit Court, before Judge Wal- lace, further testimony was taken yesterday iu the suit of Samuel M. Archer against the Ocean National Bank, to recover the value of $10,000 in United States five- twenty bonds deposited with that bank and lost with some $400,000 worth of other securities when that in- stitution was robbed in 1869, It was mainly corrobor- ative of the previous evidence, ‘Tue report of ex-Judge Spencer, the referee in the suit brought by the Farmers’ Loan’and Trast Company against the Erie Rail Company, Judge Lawrence iment for trial on an indictment for murder in the first degree found against him by the Grand Jury. As is | jwell known the frst link in the chain of circumstantial | ‘evidence was the finding of a cane in the storeof the | ‘deceased directly following the fatal encounter, which | ‘cane bad on the top a representation of a monkey’s | fhead, and which cane, from the fact that Dolan carried ‘one precisely similar, is claimed to be the identical one which he was in the habit of carry- Qng, The next and most important link in fhe chain was finding in Dolan’s possession a pawn ticket for Mr. Noe’s watch. Of course, in addi- tion to this, a strong point will be made of the bloody thandkerchief of Dolan’s, found in the latter's room, It ius .o be seen whether these circumstances, going prove Dolan guilty of the terrible crime with which is charged, will, with other facts to be developed on @ trial, begregarded as suflieient ground for bis con- Wiction. Altogether, taking everything into account, peeting the past record of the prisoner, which, it is id, embraces a term spent in the State Prison, it is to be woudered at that there should have been esterday in the Court of Oyer and Terminer an un- yaally large crowd of people. The prisoner occupied ja seat near his counsel, Messrs. William F. Howe and ex-Judge George M. Curtis. The prosecution was repre- | ted by District Attorney Phelps and Assistant Dis- | Mrict Attorneys Rollins and Lyous. A more subdued | 4 jon was apparent in the prisoner's face ‘than on his first arraignment a few days ago, but funderlying it could easily be detected an inner con- yeciousness of final disentanglement from the meshes of ithe law so tightly and seemingly inextricably woven | ‘around him by the web of circumstance. In oourt was | the prisoner’s mother, who was attired in deep mourn- | Ming, and a young lady likewise similarly attired, and | Gaid to be ‘the affianced of the prisoner. Neither re- smoved their veils ail day. A PLEA IN ABATEMENT. \_ After the case was called some considerable time was joccupied with the discussion -of a “piea of abatement,”” }interposed by the prisoner’s counsel. Mr. Howe cited ithe statutes of 1847 and 1854 applicable to the drawing | of juries, end, with these statutes as a basis, insisted Suae the plea olfered was perfectly tenable in law. Mr, \Phelps went back to the mediwval ages, and quoted a statute passed in 1682 in Great Britain, during the reign ‘of Charles IL, and, working his way down to the jpresent time, cited the cases of Friery and Ferris, con- nding that ‘these were perfect answers to the argu- } Pent advanced, ‘The ‘plea is substantially that homas Dunlap, who drew the petit’ jury, twas not de jure Commissioner of Jurors; that pis list was illegal; that the proper Commissioner, ugias Taylor, was prevent from attending the ‘Grand Jury drawing, and that the panel was drawn from an illegal peut jury hist.

He now sues in the Court of Common Pleas, before Chief Justice Daly to recover $3,000 damages, ' A ver- dict was given fo? the plaintif!’ for The case of the United States against Des Anges for violation of the revenue laws was called in the United | States Circuit Court, before Judge Benedict, yesterday, but in the absence of several witnesses for the govern- ment went over until to-day, at the request of United States Assistant District Attorney Foster. In the Equity Term of the Court of Common Pleas, before Judge Robinson yesterday, there was com- menced a suit instituted by John Sheehan against The- odore E, Tomlinson, to recover $840, on a contract for buildiag a house on 115th street, between Third and Fourth avenues, which 1s brought under the. Mechan- ics’ Lien law, The suit was originally brought before a referee, who gave judgment for the plaintif. This judgment, however, was reversed, purely upon techni- ‘cal grounds, and the cage was accordingly brought be- fore this court for a second conclusion. James B. Taylor left by bis will the house and lot No, 49 East Forty-fourth street, to Adeline Borland, otherwise known as Adeline Weston. The purchase | money she claims was advanced by her with the under- standing that the property was to be bought free from encumberance. Notwithstanding this express agree- ment it now appears that there is a mortgage on the premises which Mra. Taylor refuses to discharge. A motion for delay was yesterday made before Judge Law- reuce in Supreme Court, Chambers, pending a legal at- tempt to compel Mrs. Taylor to pay off the mortgage. ‘The legal warfare instituted by Mr. Bergh against the hog slaughtering establishments of Davis & Co. still lingers in the courts. There was to have been an argu- ment in the case yesterday, before Judge Larremore, in the Court of Common Pieas. Mr. A. Oakey Hall, who appeared for the hog slaughterers, and Mr. E'bridge T. Gerry, the legal standard bearer of Mr. Bergh, were ready fora lively tournament; but it wasfinally de- | cided to postpone the matter until the Sd of next month. Beruard Quinn, charged with having passed a coun- terieit silver dollar on Francis Fay, on July % 1875, in the United States Circuit Court, yesterday, The testimony | showed that on the day named in the indictment the risoner did pass a counterieit United States silver dol- lar, but thatibe name of Francis Fay, given in the 1n- dictment, should have been Julia Feyth, wife of Fran- cis Fay, who was really the owner of ‘the shop.

The law | jof 1845, directing the mode of appointment of the Com- Znissioner—which was observed in Mr. Taylor's ap- intment, that isto say, an appointment by the Su- visors and Judges of the Court of Common Pleas— as one of the strongest polnts cited in support of the plea, ‘The principal argument of Mr. Phelps was that law in question simply provided for the enforce- tment of the obligation of serving as gurors on those qualified; that it did not deal with their competency; (that such question could not be raised at this stage; ‘and, moreover, that there was no allegation of the in- ‘competency of any Juror; but that the pla raised the squestion of the Commissioner's appointment only. THE PLEA OVERRULED. Judge Barrett in passing upon the plea said that he Whad already considered this question. It was simply ‘the question which had already been raised in this court as between these rival Commissioners of Jurors. The Court must recognize the Commissioner acting de facto, otherwise the administration of justice would be ocked until the court of jast resort came to a de- cision. There was no doubt Mr. Dunlap was acting as ‘Commissioner; he prepared the list as such, and the /list wag filed in the usual manner with the Clerk of ‘General Sessions, and in the usual, regular manner, For these reasons he overruled the plea. : GETTING A JURY. . , Theempanelling of a jury was now begun, Before @ny questions were asked the first juror called, Mr. Howe interposed a challenge to the array, which chal- Jenge was not sustained, whereupon an exception was ‘taken. The rest of the ‘day was consumed in getting a Jury, which was finally completed as follows :—Curtis jond, N. J. Phillips, Bennett J. King, William M. ‘Leeds, Rosweld T. Fish, Myron A. Decker, Henry ‘Cherlish, Thomas Dunlop, Jr.; Wiliam Glover, boned Browning, Francis W. Doane, Abraham Stein- ( \ THE WATSON ESTATE.

It was at first thought business would be transacted without any squabbling and that all the figures would be agreed upon in executive session, Mayor Wickham and Comp- troller Green have been through the different depart- | ments during the past two weeks and consulted with | the Commissioners, The estimates of each have been | cut down considerably, and all were to have deen re- ported as a whole and voted upon at the meeting held at two o’clock yesterday afternoon in the Mayor's office, At that bour Comptroller Green, Mayor Wickham, Alderman Lewis and Commissioner Wheeler were present, The Comptroller was apparently in anything but a happy frame of mind. He sat silent and sullen in one of the comfortable armchairs of the Executive Chamber. The following items were passed upon:— ‘COMMON COUNCIL. Contingencies.......... eee $5,000 Contingencies, Clerk of Common Council, 500 Salaries of Common Councii— President Board of Aldermen... ae + 6,000 | Twenty-one Aldermen, $4,000 each + 84,000 | * Cierks and otlicers, Board of Aldermen. + 20,000 MAYORALTY, | Contingencies. 5,000 | Mayor's salary Salaries of clér FINANCK DEVAL’ Cleaning markets........

Comptrolier Green voted in favor of all the items ex- cept those m réiation to his own office, which have been reduced considerably from the original estimates, although in the main equal to the amount allowed in last year’s budget. ‘The item for cleaning markets was reduced from $30,000 to $20,000; contingenctes, Comp- troller’s office, {rom $10,500'to $5,000. Last year’s ap- propriation for salaries was ket down at $225,000, ‘This year the Compitrolier is allowed $200,000, $250,000 being asked for.

THE MANAGERS OF THE PRODUCE EXCHANGE PASS RESOLUTIONS CENSURING MESSRS. ARCHI- BALD BAXTER-& C0, At a meeting of the Board of Managers of the Produce Exchange, held yesterday, the following resolutions were passed:— Resolved, That the conduct of Messrs. Archibald paxter & Co., a8 developed in their failure and in the circumstances antecedent thereto, is not such as is con- sistent with ‘just and equitable principles of trade,” and, therefore, deserving of severe censure, Resolved, That the foregoing resolution be posted on the bulletins of the Exchange for thirty days, K, W. MASCORD, Secretary. New Yonrx, Oct, 25, 1874, ‘The grounds of the censure are that the firm men- tioned have acted against the just and equitable prinei- ples of trade, and im such cases the Board of Managers are empowered to censure, suspend or even expel & | member who violates the rules coming within those | terms. Archibald Baxter & Co,, it is stated, were in- solvent for some time before their failure, and kept on doing business, knowing that sooner or later they must fail, thus daily involving more and more persons in their cata&trophe. But the immediate cause of their censure is said to be that goods were bought by the in- solvent firm within twenty-four hours of their failure. A bill of lading for some tallow 1s said to have been re- ceived by the frm atthe very timé when Mr. Baxter was making arrangements for an assignment, This tallow is said to have been sent to some of their corre- epondents on the other side, The party to whom it be- longed expected to get a check for it in the afternoon, From examination of the books of the firm it 1s claimed that they were bankrupt when the tallow was bought, and had been so tor some time previous, MESSRS.

LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN YOUNG AND ONE OF THE OFFICERS—INCIDENTS OF THE VOYAGE TO pisco. Lonnon, Oct. 11, 1875, Letters have been received tu London from Captain Allan Young and an officer of the Pandora giving inte esting glimpses of life in its more agreeable features in the cold north. Captain Young simply tells us in his~| lotters where he is and the prospects ahead, On the 6th of August he writes from Disco, North Greenland ;— We have hitherto had a most happy cruise, though delayed by contrary winds, and we had a good batter- ing on the ice off Cape Farewell, which compelled us to ut into Torilop fora day on our way up the coast. We eave here to-night and proceed through the strait, stopping to take some coal, and then go north as fast as possible. We hope to be ‘back im the autumn, and to bring you some news. We missed the other ships here avout ten days ago, but we may overtake them in Mel- ville Bay, On August 9 he writes again:— We came in here last night, and are coaling from the mine.

An officer of the vessel writes as follows about life on board :— On Boarp tre Paxpora, August 4, 1875. ‘This is our thirty-ninth day from Plymouth, and I have every reason to hope that we shall reach Disco to-morrow, completing just forty days. We have taken the journey easily, and after the first fortnight, in which we experienced some horrid weather, we have had nothing to complain of beyond contrary winds and calms, On the 80th of July we spoke a ship bound for Toigtut, the captain of which told Captain Young that he might obtain 20 or 20 tons of coal at that port. So Captain Young determined to go in there, and, as we wore steaming through the ice, he offered to tow the other vessel and take the captain of her as pilot. We arrived at Toigtut about 6 P. M., and were coaling ull 11, leaving again at $:30 A. M., Saturday, July 31, IN COLLISION WITH THE ICE, We have been pretty clear of ice ever since. In our struggle with the ice the Pandora sustained no injury, although she~ was several times in collision with large masses, I have enjoyed my trip so far immensely, although there has been plenty of hard work.’ I am very com- fortable, and only loug to be well into tho ice country. Captain Young is a most efficient officer, and gets lots of work out of us all. Doctor, artist, officers and the New York Huravp correspondent have to lend a hand at the capsfan. We all fare alike—no difference aft or forward, Cornea beef and “duff”? one o. pork and pea soup the next, and preserved meat twide a week. We killed several seals while among the ice, and have had several hearty meuls of geal steaks, which, let me assure you, are delicious audtender, As a further proof of what a thorough gentleman our captain 1s, I may tell you that last night, while lying off the land, three Esquimaux came of in their canoes and brought thirty salmon, which Captain Young bought and divided equally ail around the ship, share and share alike, making no distingtion, A Jolly breafast we had off these fish, All our men would do anything for Captain Young, and he certainly deserves it, for he thinks more of us than he does of himself, While among the ice we secured a quantity of fresh water which we needed very sorely.

In 1869, when Mr,’ Sheridan Shook was Collector of Internal Revenue, he collected a tax of one-fifth of one per cent on stocks and sales of gold, which amounted to upward of $3,000,000. The baukers and brokers, be- lieving the tax was illegal, subsequently engaged the legal services of Mr. F, T. Strahan, ot Washington, who undertook the suits, it is said, free of charge to his clients on the condition that he was to be paid twenty per cent of any monoy recovered from the government, Mr. Straban employed Mr. Reverdy Johnson and Sena- tor Doolittle to assist him in the suit. The suit was ‘ained by the government, and was not appealed. Beputy United States Marshal Dowley has lately beon imstructed by United States District Attorney Bliss to collect from each and all of the appealing bankers and brokers the sum of $22 75 as the cost of their contest with Uncie Sam.

CIVILIZATION IN NEW MEXICO. * [Correspondence of the Illinois State Journal.) The valleys of the Rio Grande produce the finest onions in the world. A well attended crop will often average a pound to the onion. There are also a great many plants which grow in New Mexico which ai great curiosities and are also very useful, Among the useful plants which grow in this Territory might be mentioned the soap weed, the roots of which are used as soap. The Mexicans prefer it to soap for washing woollen goods. It extracts all dirt and grease and re- stores the lustre of the goods, New Mexico is acoun- try almost unknown to the people east of the Missis- sippi, although it bas been a portion of the national do- main for more than twenty-five years. Yet the deep- est ignorance still exists as to 118 inbabitants, customs, and even to its sttuation and extent, Now, after losing Arizona and being robbed of some thousands of square miles by Colorado, it has nearly as great an extent of territory as the three great States of New York, Penn sylvania and Ohio. ‘ All that New Mexico needs to become rich and pow- erful is the construction of railroads, New Mexico is difficult of access at the present time. Persons visiting Santa Fé, the centre of commorcial trade of this Terri- tory, are compelled to ride 300 wiles in coach. But this is no great undertaking. The es are roomy, and one can make himself very comfortable, The roads generally are excellent, Teams are goo and the messengers kind.

A general parade of the Fire Department of this city took place to-day. The streets along the route of she parade were thronged with people, nearly every house | was gayly decorated with national bunting and the spec- tacle presented was animated. This is the only parade that has taken place since the year 1868, Thousands of strangers were present from New York, Philadelphia and other cities, and many officers from the fire de- partments of cities adjacent and distant took art in the display. Each company was | led by a musical band, among’ them | being that of the Seventh regiment, of New York, The most notable feature in the display was the ap- pearance of several old firemen, who took a prominent part in fire organizations some fifty or sixty years ago. epjamin Fish, of the Catmden and Amboy Railroad, aged ninety years, and Mr. Lewis Parker, about the | same age, Were among the latter. The following was the order of the procession by companies:-» Ossenberg Hose, 37 men, Union, 82 men. Ameriva, 26 men, Delaware, 38 men. Washington, 55 men, Eagle, 127 men, Liberty, 22 men.

J., Oct, 25, 1875, The Keenan murder trial was resuined in this city to-day. James Sampson and William 8, Barteor were examined on the part of the defence, but their evidence did not have much significance. At the conclusion of their testimony the prisoner, James Keenan, was put upon the stand. He testified substantially that his age was about twenty-two years; that he was born in Phila- delphia; his father and mother are dead, the former | having been drowned; he (Keenan) went to school for five or six years, but he cannot read or write; he denied ever having carried a pistol in his life; he did not fire the shot which killed Police Officer Reupp; he was clubbed by the police officers before the shot was fired, and he was covered with blood; he never made any threats against the life of Reupp; while ho and Reupp were grappling «with each other the fatal shot was fired, aud he did nov know who fired it; he hallooed “Murder!”? when he heard the shot; the policemen knocked him down and he was clubbed unmereifully by them without any cause or provocation whatever, ‘The prisoner gave his evidonce in a very positive and clear manner, and his version of the fatal encounter differed materially from and was a complete contradic tion of that given by the principal witnesses for the prosecution. He underwent a rigid cross-examination at the hands of Attorney General Vanatta, but he ad- hered tenaciously to his original statement, and aid not waver in the least. He showed signs of nervous emo- tion while testifying, but beyond this he maintained a resolute and somewhat defiant demeanor during the de- livery of his evidence. On Wednesday the case will probably be given to the jury. DIPHTHERIA IN JERSEY. ‘The ravages of diphtheria throughout Jersey City for several months past have becn beyond all precedent, Aman named Lynch, residing in Warren street, has lost four children within a week. He buried the last one yesterday, Last week twin brothers, ten years old, were buried from a house in Monmouth street, near Fifth, on one day. The terrible spread of the ‘pest is attributed to improper drainage. Malarial fever is rap- idly affecting adults. Some very beneficial results are expected from the Samtary Convention, bh Newark during the past week, on this vital qi drainage. GLENDENNING STEPS DOWN. After a stubborn fight for more than a year against public opinion in Jersey City and the authority of his church, Rev. Joho S. Glendenning has retired, a van- quished and disappomted man, The dismissal of his appoal by the Synod virtually sottled the cage, and his refusal to officiate last Sunday showed that at last lies | accepts the situation, His adherents aro not all sutise fied, however. A few express their determination to | sever their connection with the Prospect avenue church, | ‘An umicable conference was held yesterday betweon members of the opposing fuetions, aud a strong desire | for reconciliation and reunion Was manifested. Tho | trustees are to retire, and an election jor their succes- | sors will be held on’ the Ist. of November. Elder | | Howell, who retired from the church after Glendenuing usurped the pulpit, will return, with other prominent | members, next Sunday.

THE IMPORTATION OF CALF HAIR GOODS—THB PROPOSED INCREASE A PROHIBITIVE DUTY. A recent decision of the Secretary of the ‘Treasury re specting the duty on calf hair goods just now greatly exercises a large number of importers. Previous to the year 1870 wool and mohair were used in the manu- facture of the goods in question, In that year Geueral Starring was deputed by Secretary Boutwell to make an examination of the places at which they were made —it having been stated that the use of wool had been discontinued—and he reported as the result of his in- spection that no wool was used. From that time until February last the government admitted the goods at thirty-five per cent duty ad valorem, Then Messrs, H. Herman & Co., No. 3879 Broadway, claimed » reduction of ten per cent, allowed, by an enactment passed in 1872, on manufactures of cotton, which ig used in the “calf hair goods.” On the trial of this suit the government, instead of merely opposing the claim, took the position that wool was being used again by the English manufacturers, and to sustain the position in- troduced several Yomestic manufacturers as witnesses. ‘These testified that in their manufacture ofa similar class of goods they used wool, This movemefit took the plaintiff's by surprise and the government won the suit. In this connection a circular has just been received at the Custom House, from which it appears that the sult in question led to an examination by the government This circular shows that if the use of Wool in the manufacture of these goods was estab- lished the government had lost a large proportion of dues, the sun represented in the suit of Mossrs. Her- man alone being $11,000, It goes on further to state tha Professor Joseph Henry, of the National Academy of Science at Washington, and some of the members, acting as a commission ‘for the government, made tosis, examining ninety-three different samples placed in their hands, ” Of these samples eight are reported to have contained five per cent of wool; twenty from five to ten per cent; s contain twenty to forty per cent; eleven contain fifty per cent or over, while in the remaining forty-seven samples the actual presence of wool #g a component material was ascertained, the centages not being determined, The results thus ob- tained are certified by Drs. J. J. Woodward, of the United States Army, and J. L. Laconte, of Pointe who in addition to two other doctors, experts in high re- ite, agree with the conclusions of Professor Henry. ince June, 1870, the goods were admitted at tie low duty on the oath of the importer. Now the Secretary gives instructions to the Collector that the manufad- turer’s certificate, authorized in June, 1870, will here- after be disregarded, not only as to future importations of such goods, but as to ail importations action om which wos suspended by the department's instructions of February 12, 1875, and customs experts will be gov- erned in the classification of such goods as before the authorization of such certificate, and this rule will be applied to all importations remaining in the custody of the Collector, HOW THE IMPORTERS PEEL. The importers do not by any means want to aoe cept as final these conclusions, The writer conversed with several of them yesterday on the sub. ject. Those seen agree thai this is not a movement ‘on the part of the government alone, but a fight in which the domestic manufacturers of sitnilar goods hide behind the government. The importation of these goods, they say, will be stopped if the high rate of duty proposed ts enforced, ‘The importance of the matter a/l concerned appears, when it is es duties on importations of these goods annually amount to nearly $250,000. ‘The tests applied on bebialf of the government, the importers say, are worthless. Mr Daniel McKeever, ot the firm of Messrs. Herman & Co., states that Professor Henry admitted to him in Wash: ington that the only test which could be applied was im mated that the | the use of the microscope, and that, microscopically ex- | amined, the hairs from the belly of acalf could not be distinguished from wool in manufactared articles; that chemical tests discovered the same peculiarities Now the importers contend that the only person whose evidence is worth anything in such an investigation is the manufacturer of the goods, In the trial of Messrs. Herman & Co,’s suit Mr. Mo Keever says that Mr. John A. Bausch, the chief ap- praiser in the woollen division for thirty years, testified that, in his opinion, no wool was used in the mannufac- ture of the goods. Tt is also asserted by the importers that Professor Tarrey, a government assayer, of thia city; Professor Arthur, of Edinburgh, Scotland, and some experts in Boston have concluded, after experk- ments made, that no tests could discover wool in the manufactured goods. In a previous question of duties between the govern- ment aud Messrs, Merman & Co., concerning taliam cloths, Mr. McKeever sent certain samp'os to Washing- ton, and when the conclusion to which the Treasury department had come regarding the question at issue was forwarded he tained that some one in tho department had substituted mobair for his Italians. Tle does not say that there has beena chango of samples in the case of the calf bair goods, but he believes the decision of the Treasury 1s hot sustained by facts. A new trial has been granted in the suit which first gave ise to all these proceedings, and the case will be soon reheard, Among the chief importers of calf hair goods are Messrs.. Arnold, Consiable & Co., Arnold & Roth. felds, H. Herman & Co., Fred, Butterfield & Co, and Sulabacher, Guiterman & Wedeles. REAL ESTATE.
