J. Westcott, the buyer for the firmofJ. F. White & Co., of this city, testified that in 1873 he went to Belfast and bought linens ofthe York Street Flax Spinning Company for his employers. ‘Mr. Evarts, for defendants, objected, on the ground that evidence of that character should not, be intro- duced at this stage of the trial, but insisted that the witness only could be asked if he was acquainted with the market price of linen goods in Belfast in 1873, Mr. Edmund Smith, for the government, claimed that the best way of getting at the market price was to show what goods sold for in the market. The objection was overruled, and then the witness went on to state that he bought twenty-five inch brown linen drills, and tt appeared from a letter to him from Mr. Read, @ member of the company, that the prices paid for’ those goods varied, according to the quality, from four pence to eleven pence, sterling, per yard. He identified invoices of seventy-two cases of those goods imported in 1873, The government claims that during 1873 similar goods were invoiced to the New York branch house at one-vighth of @ penny sterling less than the goods sold to White & Co, Mr. ‘arts asked if the orders were not received during the panic of 1873. The government objected as to the statement of time of the reception of the orders, Mr. Evarte said that he desired to show that White & Co. wrote to have their orders cancelled. Objection sustained, Witness identified White & Co.'s letters to the defend- ants eancellation.of their orders on account of the dull market here, and the replies of the company refi the requests. Mr. J. H. Anderson, importer of dry goods in 1872 and 1873, testified that during those years he bought of the defendants at their office in Manchester, England, mine cases of linen drilis, at prices ranging from 4%d. to 53d. sterling per yard.

The ac- cused, it may be remembered by the readers of the Hwnatp, were arrested in the early part of July last by the United States Marshal and his officera, The first of Radolph Schrieber, a relative of Lewinski, who was detected in the act of passing a bogus five-cent piece, and upon being pressed asto how he came into posses. sion of it confessed that {t came to him from Lewinski. ‘The latter individual was thereupon arrested at his residence in Humboldt street. To the Marshal's men he told several contradictory stories, The first state- ment made by the prisoner was to the effect that he had purchased $20 worth of the coin at the Fulton ferry; then he said he got the stuif at the Sub-Treasury, in New York, and still again that got the money from @ man in Newark. Eventually he gave iniorma- tion which led to the arrest of the Lougherys and also of August ©. Taubert. Taubert, who is @ dio sinker by trade, had not been long in the country before he met the Loughery | brothers, and, as bis knowledge of English was very imperfect, they persuaded bim to accept employment from them, telling him that they were making money for the government, and that their work was of 80 strictly secret character that it would be imperative upon him to take a solemn oath never to divulge bis bert maintained when on examination before the United oecupation. He did as required in good faith, as Tau. | | States Commissioner, and they rented a house for him | on Floyd street, paid him $13 per week and supplied him with @ lathe and engraver's tools. Tanvert pro- | duced a most excellent counterteit coin, many thon- | sands of whieh are in use to-day as genuine | throughout the country, Philip Lewinski’s efforts to be accepted as State evidence by tho | District Attorney failed. ‘Taubert was discharged on | the preliminary examination, and he will now be the chief witness for the prosecution. Lewiski is regarded as the head man of the conterfeiters on trial. At the time of bis arrest he carried on ostensibly the business ‘of junk dealer, on Concord street, though he was really, it is alleged, concerned mainly in the circulation of the bright bat spurious nickel which the Lougherys’ wore making with great dexterity for months in a house on Lex! where about $10,000 worth of machinery was subsequently found by the government officers. The brothers, who aro on trial, pretended that they were engaged in the manutacture of jewelry, and in way they managed to turn aside all suspicion for four or five months ag to the real naturo of their bust- | ness. [tis alleged that on March 1, 1875, when the | Sub-Treasury of New York issued a large quantity of | five-cent pieces, Lewinski’s concern: also swelled the volume of nickel by letting loose at least $20,000 of bogus gickela through bis agents in various parts of the country, Since the arrest of these bold hg skips they bave been confined in the Kings County Peniten- tary. District Attorney Tenny appeared for the | ewe cution yesterday, while General Isaac Cathn and John three jurors wore obtained yesterday afternoon, and the Court adjourned til! noon to- day. THR SCHUTZEN PARK TRAGEDY. The Kings County Court of Oyer and Terminer, Judgo Barnard and Associate Justices presiding, was occupied yesterday in obtaining a jury tor the trial of John Hall, | thoroughly to fulfil the Pre Commissioner Brennan, wao accompanied the Coroner up to the Island, stated that the two boys left at the usual time in the morning from the bake house, delivered their bread at the regular time, reported back at the regular time, and that they ate their breakiast at their usual hour, The jury, after a short consultation, concluded to | have the two prisoners recommitted for a further ex- amination, and, under the escort of Commissioner Brennan, they took stage and drove up to the little “lodge,” where the brutal murder was committed. After inspecting the building they went to the Penitentiary, John Gray, another convict who was locked up on Saturday by Warden Fox, was there brought betore the jury, Gray was convicted of burglary in the third de- ‘gree and has almost served his time out. He acted as Hospital steward and was frequently compelled to go out in the middie of the night for the doctor, Ata lit- tle past ten o'clock on the fatal night he went down stairs and told the night watchman that one of the men was very sick in the hospital and that he must go for the doctor. The watchman allowed him to go out, | He did not return till after twelve o'clock in the morn- | ing, and his long absence caused the keeper to remark | it the next day, especially APTER HEA’ OP THE MURDER, | He made known the fact to Warden Fox, and Gray was | locked up. Yesterday Warden Fox succeeded in draw- | ing out the facts from Gray, that on the fatal night he | wanted to go to the city to get some rum; that he told | a lie to get out, and then he went up and broke the boat | loose and crossed the river on the east side to Ravens- | wood; that he there got a bottle of rum and returned | fmmediately. He demes having gone near the gato- keeper and that he knew anything of the murder. ‘The Coroner and jury, after consulting together for some time, decided that it would be best to postpone the inquest, with the hope that some new facts may be developed. | Captain Williams and two of his detectives of the Fourth precinct police are engaged in working up the case, The jury adjourned to soch a time as the Coroner may deem it proper to call them together. Gray was recommitted and the jury returned to the city. Tie murdered gatekeeper was buried yesterday at Calvary Cemetery, the funeral being atiended by a large number of his friends and relatives, TEMPERANCE AT THE CENTENNIAL. At amecting of the Board of Mauagerd’of the Na- tional Temperance Society, held yesterday at No. 68 Reade street, Mr. Wilham E. Dodge, President, in the chair, resolutions concerning the death of Vice Presi- dent Wilson and also the following were unanimously adopted :— Resolved, That the Board of Managers of the National Temperance Society, while deprecating the sale of aico- holic liquors ag a source of public revenue, extend to Mr. Bristow, the Secretary of the Treasury, their hearty congratulations and thanks for his timoly ex- posure of the gigantic.whiskey frauds, his vigorous and successful prosecution of a portion of tho corrupt Whiskey Ring, and that we trust he may be enabled ag | ent’s injunction to “les | no guilty may escape.” Whereas it has been publicly announced In a journal | of this city that a grant has been made for the sale of | wines in the Exhibition Buildings and on the adjoining grounds of the Centennial Exhibition by the Centenni Committee and proposals are advertised for “a first class house in the wine trade” to form a business con- nection and ‘‘make the necessary arrangements for the entennial Exbibition,”’ where, it is anticipated by # advertisers, ‘*at least 600 gallons will be sold every day; as we should greatly deprecate the sale of c liquors in convection with the International nial Exhibition as highly inyarions in its infu. ence upon our own and other countries; therefore, Resolved, That we respecttully a ly request the Centenniai Commissioners to O grant for je of wines, if one has been made, and to prohibit the sale of all intoxicating beverages in connection with the Exhibition.

There is no lack of volunteer help THE OUTDOOR POOR. THE PRESENT SYSTEM OF RELIEF ABANDONED AND A SUBSTITUTE ADOPTED. ‘The first meeting of the season of the Board of United Chirities of New York was held yesterday morning, in the rooms of the State Charities Aid Association, at Jo, 52 Kast Twentieth street, Representatives were Fesent from all the charitable societies of this city, Among them were Theodore Roosevelt, representing tle State Board of Charities; Willy Wallach, of the Geman Society; Rey. Dr. Kramer, of St, Luke's Asso, ciition of Grace parish; Rev. John Dooley, of the Bow- ery branch of the Young Men’s Christian Association; Alyah Wiswell, of St, John’s Guild; Robert Gordon, of St Andrew’s Society; Valentine Hammann, of the Fra- ternals; Henry Rice, of the United Hebrew Charities; Henry E, Pellew, of St, George's Society; Robert J.

Kennedy, of the Ladies’ Union Relief Society; Miss Danan, of the Schoo! of Industry; Miss Schuyler, of the State Charities Aid Association; Mrs. (Dunning, of the Providence Bible Relief So- city; John ‘Taylor Johnston, F. A. Stout, Arthur J. Peabody, Philip Sands and Professor Joy. Robert Gordon presided and Henry E. Pellew acted as Secretary, After the reading of the minutes of the last meating, held in April last, the Secretary read the re- port of the Executive Committee, recommending for the present tho abolition of the system of registration that prevailed last year. The report also stated that during the summer available information had been ob- tained, whereby it was found that if two or more chari- table societies unite, they could procure coal to de- liver to deserving poor at $2 less than asked for in the regular retail way. HON, THRODORE ROOSEVELT i offered suggestions to substitutea new system for the present mode of administering outdoor relief, He said, Jt will be generally admitted that the best way of helping people is by helping them to help themselves, But to carry out this plan it ts desirable to deal with those who require assistance, as individuals and single families, and a certain minute knowledge of the circumstances of each case becomes necessary. Relief given in money too frequently undermines the self-respect of the recipient, and, besides interfering with the laws which govern wages’ and labor, fosters spirit of dependence as opposed to that of self-support. The knowledge required in such cases can scarcely be obtained by official visitors in crowded cities or in widely extended districts, and when administered in ignorance of the circumstances must degenerate into mero indiscriminate alms-giving, than which nothing tends more to degrade the worthy and to encourge imposture and vice. A NEW SYSTEM PROPOSED. Mr. Roosevelt then proceeded to sketch a plan, which would take the piace of outdoor relief, of which the following are the principal features:—The city should ‘be divided into small districts, each district having @ corps of volunteer visitors, a central oflice or head- quarters in charge of a paid malo ofticial, who should keepa record of the work done, assist the visitors and be always on hand to give necessary information, The visitors should report weekly to a district committee meeting at the headquarters, There should be one central committee to which all district committees would be responsible and all re- ports made and on which each committee would be represented. These suggestions would be summarized ‘as embracing the following points:— ‘First—That visiting must be searching, frequent and intelligent. Second—That relict, when given, should aim at the permanent improvement of those relieved and the de- velopment of their resources.
