—ANTI-CATHOLIC. ATOWAL, The National Committee of the O. A. U. Speak. THE BIBLE AND THE SCHOOLS. ion to Ecelesiastic Meddling in Polities and Sectarian Education. Opposi scillimemeterie A BOLD ENUNCIATION OF PRINCIPLES, The National Executive Committee of the Order of the American Union deem it advisable to promulgate a | summary of the principles which underlie and energize their actions as citizens and as members of the Order, They do not here advance arguments in defence of these principles nor offer apology for holding them; they simply state them, leaving the question of their acceptance or rejection to every man’s judgment and discretion, The issues raised by this enunciation of principles are neither new nor extraordinary, vor will their unnounce- ment raise either new advocates or new antagonists, ‘The issues presented are as old as the Reformation; the interests involved are identical. 1. We accept the Bible as the basis of all moral, re- ligious, governmental, and educational undertakings. 2 We yield an unhesitating support to the constitu- {ion and government of the United States and of the teveral States. 3 We urge that tbe present eystem of our general unsectarian free school organization shall ve main- tained inviolate. 4. We claim that no part of the public funds shal! ever be used for the support or maintenance of any sece turian schoo) or institution whatever. 5. We are opposed to apy interference tn political affairs by any man or body of men acting in behalt or by direction of any ecclesiastical body or power, yet we make no War upon any man’s religious creed. The objects and purposes of our Order are few and simple, aud we give them publicity. The ways and means of conducting our business matters, the methods by which we propose to secure the desired results, are peculiarly our own, and we intend to keep them to oursely “Third term or one term,” ‘‘de- mocracy or republicanism,” “hard money or soft money,” ‘crooked whiskey or straight,” are entirely outside of our aims and plans and receive no attention whatever, To sustain and advance the ideas above summarized we propose to use all lawful and suitable measures, at all times that to us seem to be propitious, with all per- sous who labor for their triumph, against all agencies which seek their overthrow and destruction. As in the past so for the future we invite and expect to receive the co-operation and aid of thousands upon thousands of sturdy, stalwart, patriotic, thoughtful men, who love their country with an ardor surpassing tbat of party, sect or clan.

Secretary’s address, Post Office box 5,569, & DENIAL—EX-GOVERNOR PARKER NOT A MEM- BER OF THE ORDER OF THE AMERICAN UNION. Yesterday Governor Jorl Parker, the democratic war Governor of New Jersey, stated toa Heratp reporter that he was sorry to see that his name had been men- tioned as a member of the Anti-Catholic Political As- fociation which bas recently been exposed in the HERALD. He said that, far from being a member of any such Order, he has always been opposed to secret political organizations. He had opposed the Know Nothing So- erety when it sprung into existence, and ever since then bad set his face against similar movements. He hoped that his denial would gain through the HERALD | the wide circulation which the publication of the charge in that paper had given it, DANGER OF CATHOLIC POLITICAL | ENCROACHMENTS. [Amherst Correspondence of the Springfield Republican. } Professor Scelye speaks with his customary frankness vencerning matters and things at Washington, He thinks the secret organization, “0. A.

He Grst heard of it in 18 having met @ member om board the steamer when returning from Europe, and was astonished at the claimed for it then. He does not belong to it—indeed, does not believe in secret societ but, as the Roman- sts’ work is secret, it may be necessary to fight the fevil with fre. The Roman Catholics are surely mak- Ing strenuous efforts to get possession of the ruling power in this country, and the war upon the public schools 1s only a step in this direction. The Church of Rome is insidiously secktng to control the negro vote, as it already does the Irish. ‘There are now at the Col- lege of the Propaganda at Rome vetween sixty and seventy colored youths being educated to take the field among their brethren in our Southern States. Who can imagine the success of the pomp and tinsel of the Papist Church with the excitable negro temperament? What will be the result of the negro and Irish vote tombined? Who will lead a party to defeat them?

The first means delivering posterity, body ‘nd soul, into the hands of the Romish Chutch; the Second means destruction to our system of education He would avoid both dangers, and, while he would yield neither to the Romish nor the secular theory of stion and education, he would maintain as stoutly as the Romian- | Jat the need of religion in schools, and resist ag pos!- tively as the secularist the domination of a church or a hierarchy, ‘his middie course between these two extremes, he hows, is mo more difficult of’ attainment than is the like mean between unresisted despotism aud unbridled license, We waut in our government neither des- potism nor license, but liberty under law; and so we want in our schools neither the teaching of religion in the interest of a hierarchy nor the abandonment of re- ligion for fear of a hierarchy, but the maintenance of feligion for the sake of the State, for which it offers the strongest bulwark, and in the interests of the cducution to which it furnishes the only inspiration, JERSEY'S INSANE ASYLUM. ANNUAL VISITATION AND INSPECTION YESTER- DAY. The ‘‘New Jersey State Asylum for the Insane and Feeble Minded,” as it is called, is situated on the ridge sbove Morris Plains, Yesterday the annual visit and inspection took place and was attended by between 800 and 900 people, comprising members of both houses of the Legislature and jeading officials from ali parts of the State.

A collation was served to the visitors, after which au hour or two was pleasantly occupied in listening to short addresses trom some of the distinguished guesta, Governor Bedle, in response to repeated demand stood upon a chair ant at once entered upon th fect of the building which had just been inspected, He sliuded to the magnitude of the undertaking, and test\- fied that there was no ‘job’ in it, The on y criticism that could be passed was that it might be larger than there was any Mecessity for. But this was no time for any such objection to be urged. The only thing to do now was to complete itand piace itina position for usefulness as soon as possible, It could not be elaimed that there had been excessive taxation necessitated by the erection of the building, The cost, so far, to the State treasury had been only $1,700,000, and an actual expenditure of $1,900,000, ‘There was still due tie Commissioners from previous appropriation $300,000, and he was informed that they only asked for $300,000 more tocomplete the eutire work, to lay out the rounds and place the institution in ruoning order, ne only failing of the State, he sa was charity.

FEMININE CONFIDENCE IN LOVE AND HONOR AGAIN BETRAYED—A VERSATILE VILLAIN— SUICIDE OF ONE OF HIS VICTIMS ON CHKIST- MAS MORN—A PITIFUL FATE. sitver Broor, Pa., Dee, 27, 1875, Two years ago last August a young woman, then about eighteen years of age, named Caroline Kingsley, became a member of the household of Marcus R. Noble, living about three miles from this village, The girl’s mother bad been a schoolmate of Mrs. Noble, in the central part of New York, and, having died a widow, | leaving her daughter alone in the world, im destitute circumstances, her old school friend, hearing of the fact, sent for the girl, and, although but moderately able to do so, offered her a home in her family. Caro- line accepted the generous offer, and amply repaid Mrs. Noble’s kindness by taking upon herself much of the household burden and aiding the family in many ways, Miss Kingsiey’s parents had been able to give her but the rudiments of an education, but her natural intelligence waS unusually large, and when she camo to the Noble farm she was as bright and attractive as even the more favored girls of the vicinity, In July, 1874, Mr. Noble having inserted a notice in the Philadelphia and Pittsburg papers that he would take a limited number of summer boarders at his farm house, several persons from the former place accepted his terms and made his pleasant home their quarters for the season. Among them was aman about thirty- five years of age, who gave his name as Frank Jermyn, bat itis now believed that it was an assumed one. Necessarily Caroline Kingsley met him frequently at the farm, and, as recent developments prove, although the fact was not dreamed of at the time, the unsophis- ticated country girl was charmed with the manner of Jermyn, and her acquaintance with bim ripened into a Jove that made him HER COMPLETE MASTER. Jermyn remained at the farm long after’ the other guests had gone; and when he finally took his leave, Jate in November, he left behind him a household filled with regret at his departure, so had his manner won the hearts of the farmer’s family. He visited the farm house once during the winter, remaining two weeks, and returned again long before the summer season had opened. He staid until August, when he went away. He kept up a correspondence with Caroline, over whom @great change had come since his departure She seemed to be weighed down with some great anxiety. In the early part of last month Mrs. Noble made the astounding discovery that her foster daughter was soon to become a mother, and learned from the lips of the latter, whu had not heard irom Jermyn for a menth past, that Over ayear before Jermyn had asked her to marry him, and she consented. He had wished ‘the matter kept quiet for a year, when he would make it known to Mr, and Mrs. Noble, and they would be married at once. Under this pretence he had wrought her ruin. When Mr. Noble was told of the misfortune that had come upon them he started for Philadelphia, declaring that he would bring Jermyn back to make what atonement he could, or shoot him dead jor his villany. SEARCH FOR THE SEDUCER, He at once, on reaching the city, proceeded to the ad- dress given by Jermyn as his place of business. It was a flour aud feed store, whereas he bad represented him- self as cashier in a bank. Nevertheless, the farmer made inquiry as to whether Frank Jermyn was known there. He was not, Mr. Noble was leaving the store with all his misgivinge corroborated when the gentle- man of whom he bad made the inquiry stopped bim. He asked the farmer to describe the man he was seek- ing. Mr. Noble did so, The gentieman stepped to a desk, and taking aletter from a bundle showed it to the | farmer and asked, “Is that Jermyn’s writing?” It was a ietter_—evidentiy "written — to the proprietor of the store, saying that the death of a sister al Silver Creek, Pa., called him suddenly from this city, The writing was Jermyn’s, but the letter be i cape “Frank Janeway.’’ It was dated October , 1875. As soon as Mr. Noble could sufficiently recover from his astonishment he told the storekeeper that the letter had been written by the man known to him as Frank Jermyn, and then related ihe cause of his errand to | the city. ANOTHER ESCAPADE, ‘The proprietor of the store, whose name was Buck, id that the day Jermyn or ‘Janeway wrote the letter shown to the farmer he had run away from the city | with the daughter of Mr. Buck's landlady, » Mise Brown, of South Fourth street. Two days afterward aw lady, about thirty years of age, called at the store and inquired after ’ William Sampson, who, she said, waz her husband, a book- keeper in Mr. Buck’s employ, who bad not been home in some days, It was proved beyond doubt that Samp- son and Mr, Buck's bookkeeper, whom he had always known as Janeway—a single man—were one and the saive person. Mr. Buck had but a short time before learned of the elopement, it having been effected from a house where Miss Brown w. the news to the wronged wife as well as he could, but him about $5,000 belon; | collected—nor that he notes for nearly as much more. entire confidence of the firm, ang was accorded un- usual liberties by them. He liad been employed by it five years, and Mr. Buck believed that‘ up to within He had enjoyed the | the past two years bis character had been good; but it | was learned that since that time he had fallen into fast | company and become addicted to habits that schooled him in bis subsequent villany. Mr. Buck bad pimself pelied to inflict on the poor hearts at home. It caused more visible agony to his wife than it did to the direct victim of Jermyn’s pertidy. The latter heard her fate with strange composure and walked wearily away to | her room. For two weeks she lay «struggling between life and death with brain fever. On the léth of De- eember she had so far recovered as to sit up, and the day before Chrisimas she walked about her room. SUICIDE OF CAROLINE, Christmas morning, when Mrs. Noble went to Caro- line’s room, as was her custom, to see how she was | fecliug, se saw that the room’ was empty, The bed had not been slept in, and the girl’s clothing was gone. Mrs. Nobie at once called her husband, and a search was at once made for the missing girl. No trace of her could be found about the house, although it was bot thought possible for her to travel far, an extended search did not meet with any better results. The night had been dark and stormy, and exposure to it by a per- son in the weak condition of Mies Kingsley, it was | | thought, must prove fatal. On a second visit to the chamber of the unfortunate girl Mrs. Noble found the followieg note, addressed to her, lying on the bureau:— My Mons tax Moran >— Your sad, pitying face haunts me day and night and tor- more than my shame. I cannot bear to see the ve wrought, and what is there for me to live for? Ww Was {0 be my wedding day. It shall never dawn God bless you for ail your kindness—you ther, Mr. Nuble. And give me, the rs isery. ‘They will say lam @ murderer. Botter that than @ living deat! odby, deat mother and father. Tam snre your Christmas will not be sadder with me dead than living. CAROLINE, Last summer Mr. Noble had erected at the foot of his | orchard, near a little grove of pines, a little summer house to please one of his lady guests, This place had been a favorite resort of Miss Kin; Jessure. her body was found, in a kneeling posture, with her head lying on one of the seats. She had spread ber ehawl on the door, and laid a scarf, which she usually wore about her head, on the seat, in which was a smail revolver. The body was taken up and the dress found to be unfastened in front. A emall powder-burned wound below her left breast was all the mark they found. She had placed the revolver against her breast and fired, and probably died instantly. The revolver was one which had been left by a gentlemaa who had epent the summer there. The body was taken to tho house and the Coroner notified, but the circumstances being so plain, no investigation was ordered. The un- fortunate girl was buried.on the ‘following Sunday, and her obsequies were attended by the whole surrounding mmunity. hborhood which will not be soon lifted, ley during her ne A SEMI-CENTENNIAL, At the Spring street Presbyterian church, last even- ing, there was @ large congregation of members and friends from other churches to celebrate the semi- centennial of the church's organization, Before the commencement of the services the venerable Dr, Cox was led up to the platform and placed in the cen- tral chair, On bis right was the {present minister of the church, Rev.

A CASE IN PROSAIC REAL LIFE DEVOID OF LOVE— WEDDED AND ABANDONED—THE WIFE REMARRIED TWICE, THE HUSBAND ONCE. Nuwrorr, Dec. 28, 1875. This city is now having a great sensation, or, in other words, an Enoch Arden case of an unusually romantic nature, The facts are as follows, and were related to the writer to-day by George Weaver, of this city, the person implicated in the aff Forty-one or forty-two years ago Mr, Weawer courted Miss Harriet Roach, of North Kingston, in this State, but before the wedding day came around an illegitimate child was born, and because Weaver refused to marry its father, but in order to be released from prison he consented to marry her. Immediately after the mar- riage ceremony performed he deserted her and wont to New Orleans, where he remained for some time. THE HEROINE AS A WIDOW, At the end of bis visit in the South be returned home and soon afterward went to Wocnsocket Falls in this State, where he found bis wife living. He called to seo her and was informed by her that she was a widow with three children, He therefore asked her if she had obtained a divorce before getting married the second time, ahd she answered in the affirmative, He | told her that such being the case he was pleased, and that she had saved him a good deal of trouble and ex- pense by securing the divorce, as he intended to have dope 80. MARRIED ONCE MORR. youre clapsed before Mr, Weaver either saw or her again, at the end of which time he learned Four heard o! that she was living im Cranston, near Provi- dence, with Mra. Stone, a fortune teller. Strange, bat his curiosity led him to again inquire about her welfere. Upon going to the house of Mrs, Stone he ascertained that she and her husband were living there. Mr. Weaver was astonished upon hearing this and more especially when he was told that he could not see her. Mr. Weaver acknowl- edged calling to see her again several years afterward in Providence, where she was married toa Mr. Coe, but she was notin, He next her in this city, on an election day, which usually brings a large number of people here upon that occasion, Justa year from that date she was again in town and atthe time was living with Coe, Sometime during the following summer she secured a divorce from Coe and the decree was pub- lished in the papers at the time, SHE CLINGS TO HER FIRST HUSBAND. Last summer, the summer following the divorce, she came to this city again and called upon Weaver, and told him that she would have satisfaction; that wife No, 2 was installed in the place where she of right belonged. Shortly after this Weaver received a letter from a lawyer in Providence, which intimated that wife No. 1, was his lawful wife and that ho was in duty bound to support her. No notice was taken of the note, and nothing further was heard from the legal gentleman, Her next visit here was made last Thursday, and she made matters very uncom{fort- able by gaing to the house of Weaver, She found that it was of no use for her to continue tormenting him, and 60 applied to the police station for redress, which us yet she ba® not secured. WEAVER TO BE PROSECUTED. To-morrow, we learn, Weaver will be arrested for bigamy. For twelve years be remained single, and twenty-uine years ago he was marriefl to an estimable woman of this city named Caroline Grinnell, For the past seven years she has been an invalid, By industry and economy they have secured a home of their own, | and have laid by enough to care for both in their de- clining years. They are nearly seventy years of age. Wife No. 1, Mr. Weaver states, bas had seven children, five of whom are now living and some of them are | grown up and are married, She resides in Providence, where, with her children, she owns @ house and 1s in fair circumstances. Her visits here have, as might have been expected, annoyed the woman ‘who is in- stalled over Weaver's house, and it is feared, in view of her delicate condition, the excitement will tend to hasten her end. Wife No. 1 went to Providence to-day, upon the advice of friends, ard will upon her arrival bring her clothing, &c., with the purpose of depositing them at Weaver's house, aad, should he re- fuse to accede to her demands, he wil’ be arrested for bigamy, as stated above, The authorities, however, are determined to prevent her from further annoying Mr. and Mrs, Weaver until the matter Is decided in the courts, ASSEVERATIONS OF WIFE NUMBER ONR, She claims that upon Weaver's return from New Or- | leans he told her that he had secured a divorce, and furthermore that before bis return his mother had re- | ported to her that he was dead. Upon the strength of this she married. She further alleges that Weaver wanted her while living with her las} and third hus- band, Coe, to poison him and come to Newport, and he would fither upatenement. She made other asser- tions of an equally damaging nature at the stati house, but they are not credited, in riew of Weaver's hitherto good reputation. CHRISTMAS FESTIVALS, j ETE The annual Christmas festival of th¢ Sunday school at St. Barnabas’ chapel took place last evening in the Protestant Episcopal church located near the corner of Eighteenth street and Fifth ayenua About threo hundred children were present, who, with their parents and others interested in their welfare, crowded | the church to overflowing. The children entered | the church from a neighboring building in procession, | singing the pretty Christmas hymn, “Onward, Christian Soldiers. After this was over, and the little folks had taken their seats, a prayer was rendered by the rector. The other exercises consisted of the rectal of the Apos- tolic creed, the reading of tho regular evening lesson and the singing of holiday carols, The services were taken part in by Rev. S. F, Holmes, chaplain; Rev. Mr. Woodruff, superintendent of the Protestant Episcopal City Mission Society, and the Rev. Messrs. Tiffany, Kraus, Chamberlain and others The Rev. Messra. Woodruff and Tiffany delighted the children with their tnteresting — anecdotes | and narratives, That part of the ceremonies | however, which gratified the children the greatest was the lighting of the tree. The tree was a very large and beautiful one, and was planted directly in front of the altar, Upon it were hung all sorts of sings calculated to gratify childish taste and expectaticn. | Thechildren gathered about the tree as they had | entered the church, in procession, and each one of them received some pretty and pleasing gift. The | elder children were presented with books and Bibles, | while the little toddlers who were to young to read received dainty stockings, filled to overtiowing with sweetmeats, nuts and candies. Thg sight about the tree was a very intersting and attractive one; the | children were delighted beyond description, and many | a little head will rest happier upon its pillow to-night because of the beautiful and brilliant festival at St Barnabas’ church. ‘At the Children’s Fold, No. 167 Kast Sixtieth street, another Christmas festival was held, commencing at | three o'clock P. M. yesterday. There were the usual festivities and attractions for the young people, who were highly delighted. The report wus read by Rev. E. Cowley, and eloquent addresses delivered by Rev. .

EVENTS DECIDED ON THE GROUNDS OF THE LONG ISLAND CLUB. ‘The monthly reunion of the Long Island Shooting Club at its grounds near Jamaica, yesterday afternoon, was a pleasant success, Among the large. gathering were several members of sister associations, who had been invited to participate in the sport, all of whom enjoyed the occasion very much. The weather was of an unpleasant nature, and not at all conducive to excellent scores, as the smoke which hung around the gun very frequently rendered the shooter's second barrel of little service, Before the hour appointed for the regular events of the afternoon | the early arrivals joined in three sweeps of $3 entrance, three birds each, twenty-one yards rise, eighty yards boundary, single trap, and club rules to govern, In the first of these, with six entries, Drs. Talbot and Wynne each cut down their pigeons and divided the $18, The second event like to the first im every respect, even to the contestants, Mr, Bassford and Dr, Talbot each “killed all” and divided the money. Seven responded in the third sweep, which fell to Messrs, Woodward and Tnomas, who shared the stakes. Pending the arrangement of the first classified suc- cess Mr. H. “Ramsey’’ and Ira A, Paine shot a match of $25 aside, the conditions being thirteen birds each, thirty yards rise, five traps, and Hurlingham rules to govern, Paine went first to the trap, killed his bird, but his opponent missed a right quarterer and repeated this performance three times, scoring his first killed at the fifth pigeon. Meanwhile Paine had stopped two otners, which, at this port, placed him two the best of it. In the next five Paine brought down four and Mr. “Ramsey”? three, which at the tenth bird made Ira three abead, Here “Ramsey” withdrew. The major portion of these birds were very indifferent, though both shooters each cleanly missed two or three drivers. The first classified sweepstakes was then shot. It was of $3 entrance, three birds each, thirty yards rise, eighty yards boundary, five traps, and Hurlingham rules to govern. This had nineteen competitors, of whom Messrs. Paine and Woodruff each killed three and divided the first money, For the second premium of $18 there were eleven ties, and in shooting it off it fellto Dr, Talbot, The third money, $11, was cap- tured by Mr. Post, who beat three others in deciding the tie. The second classified sweep was like unto the above in all respects. There were twenty two entries, the money being divided so that the first should receive $30, the second $23 and the third $13.

FIVE CLOSELY CONTESTED BOUTS-—-CHRISTOL THE WINNER. The Grand Opera House was packed last night with admirers of the art of wrestling, and when Messrs, Baver and Christo! appeared on the carpeted stage there was not a vacant seat in the house, There was considerable delay in bringing the athletes before the Public, and it was after eight before they made their bow to the spectators, Previous to their introduction Colonel Monsterey, the referee, peared and detailed the terms of the mat the best three falis in five—and introduced Meesrs, McClennan and Maguire, the respective referees for Messrs, Bauer and Christol, The men were then introduced and commenced business at once. Bauer obtained the first good hold, and taking a catch on the back of Christol’s neck, tried @ fall, but failed to put more than one shoulder down, Both men then made a lively rally, and Christol, securing a body hold, got Bauer on his back. The big man, however; managed to sup- port his body on his head and prevented his shoulde: from touching the ground. Half a minute later they clenched again, and Christol threw him once more op his back. Bauer immediately supported his shoulders by his head and both elbows, and Christol, baving the command, gradually forced him over toward the wings, and then, by a quick movement, displaced h ap- elbows and planted both shoulders fairly on the carpeted stage. The referee then an- nounced the first fall. in favor of Christol; time, four minutes. After an interval of fifteen min- utes Colonel Monstery called time, and the men re- sumed business, After some quick passes, in which Bauer tried hard for a body hold, Ohristol obtained a catch round Bager’s neck and threw him over his back, but the latter kept bis shoulders off the carpet, and both men regained their feet. Christol appeared to be in the best condition, as he came up fresh to each bout. On the next hold obtained by Bauer he threw Christol, but the latter wriggled himself out of his grasp and took his favorite position on all fours. They finally clenched again, and after some feints Chris- tol threw Bauer, and, jumping quickly over him, forced both his shoulders down, securing the second fall; time, five minutes. The spectators were very enthusi- astic and called both men out on the stage. Christol appeared in answer to the summons, but Bauer, cha- grined at the result of the last fall,'did not put in an appearance, When the fifteen minutes were up Colonel Monstery called the men to the stage and they quickly took a hoki. Bauer obtained the first advantage and secured a body hold, but Christol slipped away and went to his hands and knees. Both men then got up and Bauer took a hold and lifted Christo! clean off his feet, but when he landed there was opty, ‘one shoulder down, They clenched again, and atter some feints Bauer threw Christol, but the latter slipped away and regained his feet. ’ Both men now began to work very quickly, and finally Bauer threw Christol, and keeping him down, finally succeeded in planting both shoulders fairly down and secured his first fall; time, seven minutes, The fifteen minutes in- terval passed away, and the men jumped quickly on the stage, both still looking fresh. After a quiet rally both slipped away from each other, and then Christol threw Bauer over his shoulders, falling with him; but the latter, slipping down, nearly secured a {all on Christo They’ struggled on the ground for over half a minute without either obtaining a direct ad- tage. They now began to work very quick, and holds and feints were made in quick succession, At last Bauer got a good hold and threw Christol, but the latter twisted round and got the upper hand of Bauer. After a struggle of haifa minute on the carpet Bauer, got Christo! down, . and, working quickly, planted "vOth shoulders’ fairly down, securing his second fall; time, eight minutes. The spectators were now wild with excitement, as both men had obtained two falls each, and the next was to decide the contest, Colonel Monstery called time to the minute, and both men answered the summons. They commenced with the usual play of hands, each struggling for an opening, aud at last Christo! got a hold, “but Bauer dropped on bis hands and knees, Christol lifted him up and threw him, but Bauer was too quick aud got away. They came together again, and Christol, catching a good hold, Bauer threw himself over Chris- tol’s ehoulder and ted to catch the latter as they fell, but failed to get the shoulders down, On the next hold Christo! threw Bauer, but did not get the fall, After some struggling Bauer obtained a neck hold on Christo] and threw him over his head, but Christol slipped on tep and obtained the fall; ‘time, seven minutes. Clristol, therefore, won the match. THE BLEECKER STREET ROAD. A MYSTERY IN REFERENCE TO ITS RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS, A few months ago a complaint was made to Judge Davis, of the Supreme Court, by Mr. George K. Sistare against the management of the Bleecker Street Horse Car Railway. It stated that the, road was in a very bad condition, under the grossest mismanagement and largely in debt to its employés, Thirty other stock and bond holders joined in these allegations. Mr. Sistare presented such startling evidence that the Court determined to thoroughly investigate the affairs of the company, and accordingly appointed Mr. Alvin 8. Southworth receiver Mr. Southworth at once began # thorough overhauling of the books, AN AWFUL NEGLIGENCE. ‘A Heraup reporter interviewed Mr. Southworth last evening at No. 18 Tenth avenue, when he said:— “There can be no doubt but this has for years been the worst conducted horse car railroad in the city of New York. The method pursued by the management in con- ducting their pecuniary affairs 1s incapable of being ex- into the office I could find record of nothing. The office did not contain even an invoice or letter book. Upon beginning our investigations we found that the road was running thirty-two cars. We found that the stables | contained 165 first clasa hgrses, 69 second class and 20 that were completely broken down and disabled. We found that the receipts of the road amounted to about $600 per day. No account of | these receipts can be found = anywhere upon the books, Instead of this large revenue being set aside as a special trust fund, it has, in some myste- rious manner, been spirited away, to the last penny. DEFRAUDING THE CONDUCTORS, ‘Nor isthis all Despite the fact of this larze daily income, we learn that not one driver or conductor on he road bas received a single centof his salary for three weeks past. BOND AND STOCK HOLDERS BEPOOLED. “J do not wonder that the bond and stock holders of the road at last complained of the repeated outrages perpetrated against them by the management. Latterly for the money they invested in road, and for the | care and attention they have devoted to its | interests, they have received no return whatever. For months and months past they have received no interest whatever upon their investments. When they demanded an explanation from the management of the road they could secure none, When they asked what had become of the daily receipts rendered by the con- ductors they received no reply, and there is no record to indicate how these thousands upon thousands of dollars, which the road has monthly netted, have been disbursed, “Weare trying to sift the matter tothe bottom to ascertain where the money bas gone and we shali not hesitate to bring guilty parties to justice, provided suc are found. We intend overhauling the stables, improv- ing the rolling stock and increasing the number of cars from thirty-two to fifty, Over four-fifths of the stock | and bond holders of the road support us in our projects | | and we hope in a little while to pay off every dollar we owe to our drivers and conductors and during the next year to pay @ handsome interest upon all investments," THE HISTORY OF THB ROAD. The Bleecker street road was instituted about four- teen years ago. It is generally regarded as the “crookedest road in New York,” and connects with the most important and popular lines of travel in the city. It crosses Broadway at a central pomt and inter- sects all the principal avenues upon the west side. Besides this, it affords ready connection with the west side ferries and all the west side piers, For months past everybody plaining of its poor accommodations, I and rickety, its horses jaded and worn, in many sections rough, ragged and uneven. The pub- lie have regarded the management as a wealthy and — frasping corporation of shrewd men, who, while they rolled in opulence, cared but little about the accormmo- dations they afforded the travelling public. STEALING AND STABBING. Quantities of lead and iron have been carried away at various times of late from the stores of material in use by the men employed on the big pipes being laid in Tenth avenue, between Ninety-sixth and 115th streets, Commissioner Fitz John Porter set an investigation on foot and succeeded in detecting the thief and the par- ties who received the property, The names of these parties, with the evidence of their guilt, were handed over to District Attorney Phelps . with the request that he would send them before the Grand Jury. The papers were laid before that body, and it found indictments against three persons, two of whom were yesterday ar- has been com- e old rested by Detectives Field and O'Connor. They aro Charles F.

CONTINUATION OF THE ARGUMENT FOR THE CLAIMANT—A PARTING SHOT BY COUNSEL Fou THE PROPONENT—LIVELY TILT BETWEEN THB LAWYERS, In the Surrogate Court at White Plains, Westchester county, yesterday, Mr. Van Pelt resumed his argument: for the contestant in the Singer will case, He reviewed at length the circumstances connected with the map riage of Mrs. Foster, at Boston, Her marriage at tht time and place mentioned was, he said, an ill-advised step, It would have been much better for her bad shi: demanded wo have seen the decree of divorce, which her lawyer told her had been obtained, before she en. tered into @ second marriage, She, however, had ¢ right to believe the lawyer had obtained ‘t, He thought that the coytestant’s claim for relief had beer clearly established. Even though Singer refused t¢ marry her, as he had promised, when he could obtains divorce from his first wife for her misconduct, it does: not prejudice her claim so long as he continued to cohabit with her after obtaining his divorce, For twelve years her neck bas been pressed to earth by thé iron heel of her persecutor; and this she has had t« suffer im silence, lest the threat of prosecution for big: amy should be carried out and entail upon ber o still worse fate, But she possessed a clear conscience, conscience void of offence toward God and man, and in her darkest hours she could trust in Him who has said, “A bruised reed shall he not break, and smok- ing flax shall he not quench,» But her merciless persecutor has gone, and even now I can, in imagina: tion, hear him crying out in agony from his place o! torment for that mercy which he denied her when hée was on earth, Who are they who would now exclude the contestant from her lawful position and mghts? The real antagonist is Isabella Eugenia Singer, named in the will as being the wile, but who is, in reality, is the particeps criminis in this whole nefarious business. She it was who supplanted the claimant in what was left of the miserable heart of her husband, She sis arrayed like a queen in her palatial residence, surrounded by almost regal splen- dor and in a foreign land, whither she and the testato: fled, unable TO ENDURE THR IGNOMINY which fotlowed them in his own country, The place she now occupies docs not belong 19 ber; she is usurper. We say she must step down » out and then consider herself fortunate having been there for the past twelve y Ifshe chose to build her house upon the sand . that the rain descends and the winds blow and beat upon it she must blame her own folly for having erected iton such an execrable foundation. She voluntarily and deliberately sowed the wind, and she must not complain if she is now compelled to reap, for her barvest, the whiriwind. As it was one o’clock when Mr, Van Pelt concluded his elaborate argument, a recess of half an hour was taken, Here it may be stated that before the summing up on either side was commenced a partial understand- ing as to the order of speaking was effected between the opposing counsel. Mr, Van Pelt, holding the affirma- tive side of the question at issue, had the right, at once conceded, of opening and closing the case it was finally agreed that ex-Judge Porter should lead off insumming —_, up for the proponent, and that his associate, Mr. Car- ter, should have the right to reply with counter cita- tions aS against the authorities to be quoted during his argument by counsel for the contest: * and the character of which the other side had t of course, no means of knowing. This roposition was at once accepted by Mr. . Pelt, who now states emphatically that he understood ‘ f that Mr. Carter was simply to hand in apriefcor ‘n- ing hiscomments on the authorities quoted br (Van Pelt), with such counter citations as he ‘ deem it essential to present to the Surrogate, — in this understanding of the agreement, however, Mr, Van Pelt was disappointed. After recess Mr. Carter arose and commenced an. gn- ment which, for fervid eloquence and bitterly incisive logic, uttered with the irresistible vehemence of a torrent rushing down the mountain side, exceeded, perhaps, aby forensic display ever before made in the same place, In vain did Mr. Vab Peit protest that the counsel was PRACTISING AN IMPOSITION upon him by opeaing up the argument after he had almost exhausted his physic: owers in replying to the speech of ex-Judge Porter. He denounced it as an imposition upon himself, and reminded the counsel that the agreement confined his reply to the autho~ | ties cited. Mr. Carter continued, after fierce.y rejoining that he did not so understand the —_ agreement. Counsel for the claimant appealed to the Surrogate, who intimated that he was willing to bear Mr. Carter, and that Mr. Van Pelt would be allowed to reply to him. Mr. Carter then proceeded Lo criticise the assertions made by Mr. Van Veit, in the latter’s argument, claiming that, under the law, Mrs. Foster was at no time the wife of the testator, Ther relation, he said, was a meretricious one throughout 4 ‘The whoie case, he said, was am extraxaganza, Counsed suys that the lady abroad occupies the piace belonging to his client, but this cannot be, as Mrs. Foster cannot sl have two husbands atone time. No matter for how long atime parties—where one of them is disqualified ” from entering into the marriage relation—may live g* together and cohabit as man and wife, after tue disqual 4 ihoation is removed and they continue in the samere- lations as before, it does not change the character of their intercourse. Singer paid no more attention to the contestant after he had secured his divorce than he did before. After the divorce was granted the'r lite was a continuation of their previous relation. heir union was one of strife and blows, No eutreaty could induce him to marry her. Even if couneel could prove that there was a promise to marry it would not help his case, as the promise was conditional and dependent upon the future. The promise upon which matrimony can be legally presumed must relate to the present and not to the future, as the law expressly declares. Counsel says Fuller was corrupted by Singer’s money, and as \nere is no proof of this here, I say that he who says so is a calumuiator, Mr. Van Pelt—You know that he received $5,000° from Singer for deceiving this lady. Mr. Carter—Where is the evidence? Mr. Van Pelt—I will produce it intwo bours if per- mitted by the Court. The Surrogate (with a deprecatory shake of his ¢ head)—The evidence is closed, ‘ter—And | repeat that whoever says 60 is a» calumniator, dir, Van Pelt—Well, you may fay so, Mr. Carter continued his impressive argument, which took an hour sud a half to deliver. At its closo Mr, Van Pelt addressed the Court sayimg that he had supposed his opponent was @ gentleman, but he had now found out to the contrary, He said that he had never belore been 0 persecuted hile in the performance of bis duty toward a client, aud that he would bide his time to repay the insult. He concluded by saying that he was able to cope with the opposing counsel or his associates, eithes. there or elsewhere, ‘The Surrogate will announce his decision in the case at ap early day. SUNDAY LAGER, ‘The German element of the city of Newark, N. J., comprising about one-third of the entire population, is exceedingly tenacious of the privilege of enjoying its favorite beverage seven days In the week. At the same time there ig an unusually vigorous effort on the ‘ part of the advocates of temperance being put forth te deprive ‘‘Hans” of his lager—at any rate, on Sanday, The question has more than once entered into the polit teal campaigns, especially during charter elections. The present Mayor Was clecied two years ago as a temper. ” an candidate, aud at once inaugurated | the war on Sunday beer by enjoimmg the Chief of Police to strictly enforce the al most forgotten ordinauce concerning the observance ofthe Sabbath, The movement met with much oppo- sition, especially on the part of the Germans, and some mass meetings were held to denounce it in the end, however, the prudent counsels of the more conserv: tive prevailed, and a compromise was effected, by whick the front doors of al] saloons were to be closed, so that if the policeman merely shut his eye nearest the house he would not see who entered by the side doors or got in over @ back fence, During the past year tbis arrangement seemed to work very satistactorily, and as the temperance Mayor was about to vacate his chair discipline relaxed in a direct ratio to the waning term of office. The temperance party were the only person who were not pleased by this state of affairs, and they organized a Christian brotherhood and em- ployed one of their number, the Rev, Dr. Fishblatt, te observe what saloons were opened on Sunday, and ; where liquor or beer was sold. The Doctor has made \ alarge number of complaints, and many of those 1 compinined of pleaded guilty to avoid the additional ex. pense of trial.
