The loss of the ill-fated Harvest Queen and the asser- Non that the steamship Adriatic had rum her down forded a topic of general conversation in the city yesterday, That so fine a vessel should so sudden!y disappear was considered surprising, while the collision the steamship and an unknown ship was com- ‘meatad on ina way that showed how deeply public Teeling-was stirred by the occurrence, Yesterday fur- 4ber investigation was had in the .matter, and the va- Pious statements obtained from officers and seamen of Sue Adrkatic, with those of others who wero compe- tent tv speak in the premises, are herewith given. It peenis to be quite certain that the Adriatic did collide ‘With a gaiking vessel during the night of December 30, | but whether the unknown vessel was tho Harvest ‘Qucen or nov timevalone can determine. ON BOARD THE ADRIATIC. At two o’cYock yesterday afternoon a Heranp re- ‘porter steppedSonsboard the Adriatic and inquired for Captain Jennings. He was promptly informed that the @aptain had gome ashore some fifteen or twenty nutes previous and would not return for a couple of jours or more, An interview with the chief officer was then sought. While waittng for that officer the ‘writer strolled-about and oxamined tho vessel. Passing | along the deck in the direction of the forward gang- | ‘way the reporter met a‘petty officer, who had a frank, pen countenance, and said to him:— “You are the officer who went out In charge of one Bf the boats at the time of the collision, I believe ?”” Degan tla: reporter. No, siz, I did not govout in the boat, but I was on flock and saw the strange vessel immediately after we @truck her, She seemed to be badly crippled, and I distinctly heard cries for help, both from her deck and from the water. She must have sunk very sooh, for her lights disap,veared {n about twenty minutes, and ‘we saw nothing nore of her. It was a beaght starlight night, and if the st ranger had stayed afloatwe certainly should have seen her for several hours Some of the pflicers pretend to s1y that we did not strike her hard, but I tell you, sir, that we did, We hit her hard enough to haye sank.half a dozen ships of her size. “Did the soiling shipymake any signall of distress ?”” “No, she did not; and that ts the ¢strangest thing about the wholesaffair. We burned a blue light right Away after the wollision, but-we got not response from the stranger.

At this point the offi cer was calledtaway. The re- porter went forward ad began Bis inspection. The iron ratl on the Adriat.‘e’s port bow, just forward of the foremast, was bad] ¥ bent, and the port anchor stock was broken off, Be) nd this there was no ev fence of any injury.

Mr, Kence seemed greatly annoyed. After hesitating a moi nent, he asked the re- porter how he knew any of the w Teck was on board. The reporter was there to acqyuire, not to give, Information; so he did not answer Mr. Rence’s ques- tion, but said he would like to le:tn all the facts in connection with the collision of th? Adrfatic with the ship supposed to be the Harvest Que.tn. “We faa no collision with the,Harvtest, Queen or any her ship,’? said Mr, Renee. wel, ‘sir, can I see the jibshect"jblocks and the ther portions of a vessel's forward ger found on your Rock cn tho morning of the Sist of Decem iber ?”” “No, sir, not withont an order from ‘the-company’s 0, - 1 hen you have these things on boardt?”” ‘es; they are in the storerooro.’” “You say you did not collide withany-ship-on your recent passage.

They saw also, that instead of being treated as a slight aflair on board ship, as the officers seemed to pretend, the collision formed the common subject of gossip ail through the trip. CAPTAIN JENNINGS’ STATEMENT. To fing Captain Jennings, commanding officer of the Adriatic, was not an casy job for the Hxgatp reporter. The reporter did not find him wotil after tive o'clock, and then accosted him after reaching the deck of the steamer. The Captain, upon being told the naturo of the visitor’s business, looked daggers and, holding up his hand and moving itas if annihilation was the only punishment that would meet the case of the intruding seeker after news, said, with great foree and bitterncss, “Another newspaper man! you have bothered and pestered the life out of me by your lies and reports. I haven't had time to cat, and now want to do that and rest, Ifyou don’t leave me alone I'll put you over the side of the ship.” Evidently liking the fdea of hustling one Herat man out of the way, he cried ina stentorian voice, “Quartermaster !”” Very soon a full bearded and brawny shouldered sailor came upon the scene and quietly desired to know why ho was called. The Captain had suddenly thought better of employing his service to show his visitor the gangway and dismissed him as abruptly as he had sum- moned him. He still grumbled, however, and then, lowering his voice, thus delivered himself:— “Lam always willing to give information, but 1 don’t want lies circulated about me, You newspaper men have spun the meanest falsehoods thatcould be inveuted, and (angrily) somebody will have to pay for it. libellous,” By this time he had.reached his own room on the upper deck. Here he again broke out:— “The whole story of the HR is a tissue of damned lies. You always pervert the truth. You newspaper men are harriers, every one of you. Tis story about the Harvest Queen hasn’t a word of truth in it.” It was now time to quietly advise the Captain that the reporter had not sought him to be abused, and he did so, whereupon the former shortened sail, and, with a petulant“ have been so annoyed,” consented to make the statement which follows: We left Liverpool on the 80th ult., and I kept the deck until two A. M., a period of fourteen hours, bring- ing the ship down the Narrows, and passing in the Channel many vessels on oither hand showing green and red lights. About two o’clock I took my departure from the Saltees Lightship, and, as we were not to call at Cork, gave the land a wide berth. At quarter-past two o’clock on the morning of the 3ist 1 lelt the deck with the first officer in charge, with orders to be called at four o'clock, two hours later, At half-past two a green light was sighted on the star- board bow, which was soon shut in and changed to rod. Again it was changed to green, and, seeing the man (ship) was so undecided as to which side he would pass us, the engines were slowed, then stopped and reversed astern at full speed. 1 was called at this time and came on deck immediately, I Mrst saw a green light, but at once it changed to red and then remained so, crossing our bow, All this time the Adriatic’s engines were at full speed astern, making five knots an hour | and rapidly increasing | it. The stranger still continued “to steer across our bow and | bear down upon us, At last he- suceceded jn approaching us, and hooked his port jib guy on the port anchor stock of the steamer, carrying itaway and | Snapping the boom. Our great speed astern at this time prevented the hulls of the vessels trom coming together; indeed, they never touched each other. Upon this port Lam positive. I then steered up under the ship’s stern to communicate with her, but tho stranger showed no lights, made no signals, evinced no desire to communicate, but sailed on and was lost sight of in the darkness. Two boats were instantly lowered and despatched to see if anybody was in the water, for I heard a cry, and did not know whether it was trom the ship or in the water. It did occur to me that somo ‘one might have endeavored To JUMP PKOX THE SIP TO THE DECK and gone overboard. After cruising about for nearl three-quarters of af hour both boats returned Wwithoat farther discovery. We then proceeded on our voyage. Not a scratch wason the hull of the Adriatic, and bata little piece of the handrail was bent, and this was ‘owing to the falling of the broken boom upon it. As to our being busy sapalring damages on Sunday the not a word of truth in it’ We had nothing to repair, " “But why didn’t you report the whole matter upon reaching port ¥"" “It was so trifling I didn’t think it necessary, and then this aint an American ship—she’s English prop- erty, and I won't publish my business to every curious Tom, Dick and Harry.” During the recital of the above the chief officer was called to the Captain's room and ne nodded his head ap- provingly to whatever his superior said’ and at last he volunteered the statement that he had a copy of the Jog bearing upon the accident. Upon being asked to furnish ithe went below and in a few minutes re- turned with the following statement, signed by himself, Written upon a page of foolscap, not yet folded and without blot or blemish, although there were two in- terlineations in pencil : December ¢ abeum. ber 3h, the bending of her rail and the breaking of of the snchor stock here on the port side.’ “Not much, She was badly scratched, but you seo ter has covered that up." ‘he ship with which you collided did not reply to r signal, I believe.

Do You suppose he was asleep too!” “| don’t Khow anything about it, and I don’t care to ,| Say any more upon the subject.’ WHAT MR. SAMPSON SAYS. From the deck of the Adriatic the Hxratp man went to the office of the Black Ball line at Ne. 38 Burliag slip and inquired of Mr, Sampson, the agent, if he had any further information in regard to the loss of the Harvest Queen. That genleman said be had ade- hirem Captain Cunniegham, the agent on the pther side, which stated that the vessel leit Queens- dor Liverpool at nine olciock P, M. on the soth of ber, and, as she had a ood fa'r wind, she would ‘pe exactly in the track of the Adriatic at the time the pollision with that vessei occurred—viz., at about half- ‘past two o'clock on the morning of the Sis. “One of the passengers by the Adriatic told me Yo-day,” continued Mr. Sampson, “that on getting up n the morning of the Sist the cabin steward told him They had run down a smiling vessel during the night and sunk her with all on board.”’ © you seen the jibsheet blocks and other por- Mons of rigging left on the deck of the Adriatic at the Mine of the collision ?"” asked the reporter. “No, 1 hi not. We could not identify them, all! Viocks used ut the forerigging of ships of the class of the Harv Qaeen are about alike. Captain Jen- ‘aipgs told me he bad them on board, but I aid pot care so see them, | have mo doubt at all that the ship (the | Harvest Queen) was suuk by thé Adriatic. The captain | of the steamer endeavors to tell a smooth story and to rg ped the whole inatter, but I am periectly satistied | it he ran the vest Queen down."” WHAT. THE SAILORS Sar. A Henatp reporter conversed with Adriatic’s sailors, Qne seaman after another gave the Feporter an account ofthe collision, and it must be suid that theirstories were consisvent, even in the minntest details. Before long, however, it became manifest that the man who, above Mothers, coula throw most light mn the disaster was Philip Hamilton, the satior on the | Jook: at the moment of the collision. The reporter | Dunted alter bim fora while and found tbat he was ly on board the Adriatic, and under | surveillance, as he bad been uider exam: n before the officers last week, abd was Known to have the most correct version of the disaster.

The first that 1 heard of it was a day or so after, and then it struck me with so much surprise I askod Captain Jennings about it on Tuesday. He re- plied that the affair was so trivial he had not deemed it important enough to mention. “Did the Captain deny that a collision had taken lace 2” Pendle did, and even took his oath that the bulls of the Vessels did not touch each other."

[From the Spirit of the Times, Jan, 14] It cannot be disputed that the most attractive feature of a racing programme tothe majority of visitors is the steeplochaso, and in a minor degree the hurdle race, The great mass of the public love to see the ac- tivity and power as well as the speed of the thoroughbred fully tested, and the steeplechase affords the opportu nity of exhibiting these qualities in leaping over the ‘various obstacles in the race. Tho steeplechase days at Jerome Park, Saratoga, Baltimore and Monmouth | Park are always distinguished by the largest assem- blages of visitors, and the different associations recog- nize the fact, and every year a jarger amount of money | is given for cross-country racing events. The American | Jockey Club have recently adopted a wise policy in | raising the scale of racing weights, and defining welter weights to be twenty-eight pounds more than the rec- | ognized weight for age. By this change the i 2 i the American Jockey Club to take anuther step, and | make steeplechases still more exciting mn their charac: | tor and more attractive to the spectators, and that 1s 1m | | increasing the beight and breadth of the mmps. At | present the hurdles, fences and stone walls raroly, if ever, exceed three feet and « half m height and the water jumps twelve feet, and the former are at least twelve inches too low, and only serve to deceive the | horses and endanger the riders, All horses _ are natn- rally jampers, and their instinctiverntelligence efiahles them to measure and calculate accurately the amount | of muscular effort requisite to clear the obstacle before them, whether in the shape of a fence, wall, hurdle or water jump. By increasing the prosent helght of the jumps you only call upon the horses to put forth their | latent powers of exertion to clear them, their natural intelligence dictating to them the amount of effort | necessary to accomplish the task. To do this with ab- | solute safety both to horse and rider it is only requisite to do away With the time test in races of this kind and | making the jumping abilities of the horse the test of | | his merits equally with his speed. The latter can be | | fairly tested in the final run home, for which purpose | there should be no jump in the last quarter mile of the race. In this way the interest attached to steeplechase contests and hurdle races would bo materially in- | creased, Romp, the aged horse whose history we gave some time ago, is now owned by Mr. S. 8. Vaughn, of Jack- son, Mich. This gentleman rightly thought that it was time to relieve the horse from a life of drudgery, | i and therefore purchased him, Romp is now fifty-two | \ years old, and as he is being wintered in comfortable | quarters, and given plenty of exercise, he remains in good health. Mr. Vaughn expresses the opinion that with proper care he will survive from ten to eighteen years. The venerable equine is rugged in appearance, | | and to look at him no one would judge that he had | walked the earth for more than balf a century. Romp was on exhibition last fall at the Kalamazoo Horse | Fair, and a noted Kentucky breeder who examined him with care pronounced him a perfect type of an | English hunter, Mr, Vaughn has received offers from j parties in the State of Vermont to purchase the old | horse, with the view of exnibiting him atthe Centen- nial Exposition at Philadelphia’ The Jackson Patriot expresses the opition that the proper State to receive | eredit for Romp at Philadelphia the approaching sum- | mer is Michigan, where the aged equine has passed xo | toany years of bis Ife.

He said he had formed an impression, but could divert him- self of all prejudice and feeling and try the cass im- partially. Mr. Carter contended that the juror was more than ordinarily free from prejudice or feeling. The main fact, that he would make an effort to divest himself of the impressions he had formed, was nothing against his eligibility as a juror. Mr. Dudley Field made a brief rejoinder. denying the power of a juror todo tha: very thing. Counsel then went on to say that as the juror did not claim his ex- emption it must be either through love and affection for Tweed or for the eople, Judge Westbrook decided that, as the juror has an- ther occupation besides that of teacher, he was not exempt. Alter a leugthy and somewhat metaphysical ex- amination the gentleman was finally accepted as the seventh juror. Robert K. Sarles, of No, 82 Broadway, was the next person called He bad formed an impression, but did not think it had ripened into an opinion. He was asked to define the difference between an “opinion” and an “impression.”’ His definition was evi ae satisfac. tory, for he was finally accepted as tho eighth juror. | Gildersleeve arraigned together at tho bar, and Judge sent them to State Prisom for twenty years.

TOMBS POLICE COURT. Before Judge Flammer. ALLEGED CONSPIRACY TO ASSASSINATE. For soveral days past Frederick E. Luthy, a lottery banker, whose office is at No. 2325; Greenwich street, noticed that his steps were doggod and his move- ments shadowcd by two or three men, who appeared to be acting in concert, and whose acts attracted the no- tice of a number of persons inthe neighborhood. Mr. | Luthy was known to frequently carry on his person large sums of money, sometimes as much as $10,000 in bills, and his shirt front sparkled with diamonds of the costhest kind. Fearing that his life was threatened Mr. Luthy communicated with Captain Saunders, of the Twenty-seventh precinct, who detailed Officer Ho- gan to attend to the case, The result was the arrest of William Gardner and William Monroe, who were two of the parties suspected of evil designs against Luthy. While Officer Hogan was takipg Gardner, upon whose person two revolvers were found fally loaded, to the jon, @ young man, named Philip L. Brady, came up andin alow but termined tone said to the prisoner, “Slug him, slug im,’? meaning the officer. Brady was then taken into custody, and all three were yesterday igned before Justice Flammer. Affidavits were made by Eugene | Keeler, Lionel Russell, Henry Dunstrip, sames 0'Con- nor and others, who testified to the suspicious actions of the prisoners, The lattor denied the guilty ictent implied in the testimony, Justice Flammer said, how- ever, that he believed the accused had been acting in concert, and meditated a desperate and atrocious murder, They were heldin $1,500 bail each on a charge of misdemeanor and will be tried at the General Sessions, A TRIO OF SHOPLIFTERS. A week ago Julius Blum, of No. 86 First street, ex- cited the suspicions of Detectives Philip Reilly and Alvin Wilhamson, of the Central Office, by his going into stores along Broadway and asking to see goods, but never purchasing any. They concluded to watch his movements. A day or two subsequently the. offi- cers found Bium in the company _of Mark vy, allas Leon, a notorious shoplifier. Yesterday they were pope by Justice Flammer in default of $1,500 bail eac! FIFTY-SEVENTH STREET COURT. Before Judge Duffy. EMOTIONAL INSANITY—A SAD CASE. Michael Behan, temporarily residing in New Jersey, asked that his daughter Mary, who accompanied him, be sent to the Asylum for the Insane. Dr. Charles Hannon, who was also present, explained that Miss Behan was suffering from emotional insanity pro- Abner W. Colgate was next called. He said ho lived | anced by over-anxiety and want of rest while at No. 50 East Thirty-fourth street, and his place of business was at No. 237 Pearl street. He had heard all about Tweed from the trial of the criminal suits up to the present time, and had even heard of the defend- ant’s escape. He had attended public meetings called together for the purpose of expressing indignation at the supposed irauds, and also to form committecs to investigate the frauds. He had formed an opinion from the attendance at these meetings that Mr. Tweed had defrauded the city, After considerable interrogatories on both sides, eliciting trom the juror the fact that he had tormed a decided opinion, he was finally declared inoompetont and dischargea. Mr. Francis B, Thurber resided in West Twelfth street, and did, business as a wholesale grocer on the corner of Chambors strect and West Broadway. He would be willing to have an arbitrator try a case for him whose mind was in the same condition that his was. This was considered satisfactory, and he was ac- cepted as the ninth juror, After recess Mr, Charles Collins was examined and and had forme.ta general impression in regard to them. He drew a distinction between an impression, which, he said, was involuntary, and a settled opinion, Ho had no prejudice or feeling against the defendant, and was declared a competent juror. Mr. Arthur I. Peabody gave somewhat similar testi- timony and was accordingly selected as the eleventh next called, and was Anally excused from serving on the jury. Mr. Julius W. Catlin, of No, 443 Broadway, was next examined. He acknowledged that he had a decided im- pression that Tweed was guilty; still, as far ax any man could do it, he would set agide that impression if in the jury box, and decid e rogardiess of it. ‘The Court found Mr. in competent, and he made the twelfth juror. Mr. Field then poremptority challonged Messrs. Thurber and Cavot Ward, which Jeft but ten. The only remaining juror was Mr. Benn, about whose liability there was some question, and the Court de- ‘cided to exouse him, The panel was then exhausted. “Just what I predicted,” said Mr. Field; “you got twelve out the twenty-four. Now there are but ten, and the whole thing drops. Mr. Peckham said he would apply for talesmen to complete the jury. Mr, Field disputed the power of the Court to do any- thing in the matter, and contended that all that could ve done, ifthe Court had any power, was to summon | jurors through the Sheriff. The point was held over until Monday, DECISIONS. SUPREME COURT-——-SPECIAL TERM, By Judgo Van Brant. ale ot al.—Case settled. Wood et al. vs. SUMMARY OF LAW OASES.

Surrogate Esselstyn yesterday rendered his decision establishing the validity of the will of Sylvester Van ‘Walkenbergh. late of New York, who died at his sum- mer residence near Chatham in October last. The es- tate amounts to between $200,000 and $300,000, and | consists of property in Columbia county and in New York city. The will gives to Mrs. George Chesterman, a daughter, a legacy of $2,000, and to Mrs, Houseman, another daughter and wife of Charles H. Houseman, of New York, the balance of the property. The testator gives as a reason for this unequal distribution that Mrs. Chesterman, who is a daughter by the first wife, is amply provided for by the wealth of her husband, and | also that he acquired most of his property througn the | assistance of the second wife, who was the mother of | Mrs, Houseman. The case has been a subject of con- siderable local interest in Columbia county, In sdmit- ting the will to probate Surrogate Esselstyn expressed the opinion that the contestants had iailed to establish any fact against its genuineness.
