A SAINT AND SINNER. Forgeries, Frauds and Failures of the Rev. Hon. E. D. Winslow. Adventures of a Boston Preacher and Journalist. The Pecuniary Preliminaries and Subsequent Flight of the Delinquent. | A QUARTER OF A EILLION DOLLARS BMBEZILED, | Bosrox, Jan. 25, 1876. The equilibrium of the commimity has been greatly | disturbed to-éay by the discovery of series of ffauds | on the part of a man who bas beretofore ranked high in | all the vatious social, moral, religious and mercantile circles of society, The accomplished swindler is none other than the Hon. and Rev, E. D. Winslow, the founder, and, until within a few days, proprietor and editor, of the Daily News, but more recently the treas” urer, inanager and editor of the Boston Post, In May of last year be formed a combination and purchased the Boston Post newspaper {rom its tormer proprietors, Messrs, Beals, Greene & Co, This new company em- braced several prominent names, including those of Hon. Jobn Quincy Adams and Hon. Leverett Salton- statl, and was regularly organized under the laws of the Commonwealth. Mr. Winslow was treasurer and prac- tical manager of the company thus formed, He was also treasurer of the Cambridge Brick | Company. For some twelve or fifteen months past, however, it appears that among certain business men Mr. Winslow was looked upon with suspicion, and stories are not want- ing iustrating his irregularities. It is only about a year ago that a note irregularly indorsed was discov- ered, but the party whose name was upon it gave Win: Jow to understand that it must be at once paid or there | would be trouble, FORGERY AS A FINE ART. It was settled up. A number of business men inter- viewed to-day” said, substantially, that for the past twelve months they would not have anything to do with Winslow, believing that he was not all right The numerous stories afloat about his transactions have hardly had time to crystallize into reliable data from the fact that parties holding his securities on notes, cashed, are not yet aware to what extent forgery has entered into them, but enough is known to say that he bas evidently been pursuing fraud and forgery for some time past as a fine art, His friends, or those who have had business relations with him for some years past, as is usual in such cases, have been made to suffer in some way or other. In some instances he has probably forged their names as makers and in others as imdorsers of notes. Two notes of about $3,500 each have been discouuted by | the Nationai Security Bank, of this city, which he bad made as treasurer of the Cambridge Brick Company, bearing indorsements of J. H. Chadwick, A. J. Har- rington, E. F. Porter and Charles Roberts, most of which names are forgeries, But the bank is well se- cured, and will probably loge nothing by it. FORGED COLLATERAL The National Exchange Bank has a note of B, F. Hayes for $10,000, and another bunk hasa note of like amount with the same signature, one if not both of which are forgeries. These notes yere placed or hy- pothecated by Winslow as collateral’ Another note of $5,000, bearing date of January 14, 1876, payable to order of W. H, Chaney, and signed D. £. Poland, in- dorsed W. H. Chaney, payable in three months, was Jeft in the Exchange Bank as collateral, His other for- geries are said to be quite numerous. Some of these | be was caught tn and made to settle, and the wonder is that these discoveries did not so pervade the mone- tary circles as to prevent his making any recent trans- actions, The developments already made form but ® small part of the false transactions of Mr, Winslow. Within a short time he applied to the Maverick National Bank for a loan, offering cer- tain notes as collateral Mr. Potter, the President, made inquires and found that Mr. B. D, Poland, whose name Mr. Winslow offered, had not decided to tndorse bis note, On the same day Mr. Winslow called at the bank and informed Mr. Potter that he could not arrange his céilaterals then, but would have them ready the following day. He came promptly, presented his note, indorsed with the name of Mr, Poland, and obtained $6,000, Not satisfied with the appearance of things, Mr. Potter showed the tote to Mr. Poland, who pro- nounced the signing of hif name a forgery. Mr. Potter seat for Mr. Winslow and demanded the amount of the joan. The latter demurred, but promised to pay it in two days, Mr. Potter was inexorable and insisted on baving his money then and there, Finally Winslow said if he (Potter) would wait half an hour he would go and obtain bauk bills for the full amount. Mr, Potter proposed to accompany his slippery customer, but sent # trusty representative, who returned witb the money. Anotber case has come to light in which Winslow forged the name of a party to a note for $10,000, upon which be obtained the money. The gen- tieman was waited upon by the nolder of the nove and asked if his name was good for the amount? “Yes, if you can get it,” was the reply. ‘Here it is,”’ said the unfortunate leader. The other took the note, and, going to Winslow, recovered the full amount under threats of exposure and prosecution, UTILIZING A FIRE. On December 18 his nouse, ip Auburndale, was Durned, and some surprise was created that he had ich a stock of expensive paintings on hand. The in- ‘ance on his furnityre was for about $17,000, some of which has been adjusted by the companies in which the risks were placed. One of these adjusted claims he obtainea the money for, but, not content with this, he bypothecatéd the same claim ‘as security to a private party. Another of these insurance claims he sold to two different parties. The house belonged to Mr. R. M. Puisifer, who bas all the policies of insurance on it, The Commonwealth Bank bad negotiated paper for Mr. Winslow to a limited amount, bat even should the pa- per be found to be largely covered with forged names the ie bas more than enough oollateral security to cover { amount, it is said, not far from $100,000 on money loaned to Winslow, and it ts feared that most of this ‘ ‘ayes, we learn at the "Ea it, bas received information of four $10,000 notes four eae this city as all of prouounces forgeries, He er gay a pote without specific collgeral sui mu ecm, never gave & mortgage or lent his ‘a8 af in- jorser.

MERTING OF BANK DIREETORS. A meeting of the directors of the bank was held to- day, at which the relations of Mr. Winslow with the bank were fully discussed, ‘TRE FLIONT.

WINSLOW HAD 4 CONFRDRRATE, Of the forged atures it may ve said that many of them are close and clever imitations of the genuin it is known that Winslow was but an indifferen! that he bas had a con- rise, It will probably take several days, and perhaps weeks, to unfold the full extent of this man’s villany, That he has been un- scrupulous and daring in a most remarkable degree is pretty clearly indicated by the knowledge already guined of his transactions, As yet no effort has been made to follow him or ferret out his whereabouts, but it ig not unlikely that, having been smart enough to cheat the shrewd men of the banks, he will be ablo to give justice the slip, for a time at least, SKETCH OF WINSLOW'S CAREER. Mr. Winslow's life has been a somewhat eventful on anda brief sketch of his career may not be devoid o' interest. His boyhood days were passed in Ware, Mass., where bis father, who was in humble circum- stances, resided; here he worked iu a factory as a bobbin boy and {n various capacities, saving his earn- ings with the determination to get a hberal education with the view of entering the ministry, This his ip- domitable energy enabled him to accomplish, and in 1860, when about twenty-one years of age, be was calted to a church at Phiilipston, Mass, where he re- mained about a year, leaving there under a financial cloud, From here he went to the neighboring town of South Royglston, where he preached with great ac- ceptance for a year, Chester, a factory village, was the ‘next scene ‘of . his pas- toral labors; here he labored bis Master's vineyard, directing his little flock gg until his patriotism got the best of him, wi e. severed his connection with them and enlisted as a private im ‘Billy’? Wilson’s Zouaves while the regiment was lying at Yorktown. He was commissioned b Governor Andrew as chaplain of the Nineteent! regiment Massachusetts Volunteers. ¢ His health fail- ing him, he was Lager tet d transferred, through the personal influence of sident Lincoln, to the chap- incy of the Hagsbip Lancaster, of the Pacific squadron, It was while in this service on the Pacific coast that he first developed a mania for speculation, as when ‘the squadron lay before San Francisco he was in the habit of going ashore and dabbling in mining and other fancy stocks, making as high as $4,000 or $5,000 in one day and losing itthe next. At the end of two years he was relieved and ordered to report to the Charlestown Navy Yard, whore he drew y a8 chaplain unti) ordered to the navy yard at ensacola, His health again failing him, he was dis- charged from the service, In 1866 or thereabouts wo find him at Franko, Mass., guiding the souls of his litue flock in the straight and aarrow path on Sunday and tapping their soles and selling them shoes and sugar the rest or the week. Remaining here a year, he disposed of bis business, bade his parish adieu, aud we next hear of hin as a dis- penser of the Word at the Meridian street church, East Boston, At the end of a year or two favorable inducements being offered him to emigrate to Sedalia, Mo., he removed bis family thither and resumed his old business of preaching on the first day of the week and selling boots and shoes on the other six. At the end of a year be returned to Boston and interested himself in church matters, being instru- mental in organizing a branch of the Methodist Church at Brookline and preaching there for several months until they were able to locate a pastor, About this time he connected himself with Zion's Herald. He occupied the position for two or three years and he left suddenly, Upon bis retirement he began a of speculations at Auburndale, where he bad sly removed and had purchased, or was a party purchase of, @ farm, which was cut up into house lots. He was engaged in the effort to organize what was Known as the Boston Mortgage Company, which, owing toa detective charter, or other causes, was never engaged in business, By an exchange of realestate in Auburndale, he with others came into possession of the Skating Rink, at the South End, which was then fitted and furnished as a market an known as the Tremont Market. About two years ago Mr. Winslow became the business manager for Dr. C. Ayer, of Lowell, but was soon after engaged in busi- ness again, in this city, taking a part in the manage- ment of the Daily News, he baying purchased it when the Daily News Company went into bankruptcy. This ee was subsequentiy joined with tho Post, and Mr. inslow was announced as the business manager and treasurer of the company, a position he had held up to the latter part of last week, Mr. Winslow was in the House of Representatives in 1872 and served several terme, Last year he wasin the Senate, representing the Newton Senatorial district, and at the recent elec - tion was contdent of being returned, but was de- feated. SAD ADMISSIONS. The Daily News of to-day, in a double leaded article with the caption “E. D. Winsiow,’’ remarks :— “We have not the heart to wish to comment upon the paimtul news which we present this afternoon in relation to matters involving the character and integ- rity of him whose name has heretofore been so prom- inently identied with the News; we would there were @ possibility of making an explanation of the facts Which would be consistent at once with the truth and with the further maintenance by Mr. Winslow of his integrity. But we know of no such explanation which is possible. We have no apologies to make for him and will ot attempt to palliate the wrongs be bas cone to others and most of all to himself and his friends. We cannot forget his many good qualities of head and beart, nor the warmth of our attachment, cemented as it has been by years of intimate association with bim— years in which wehad often tested his friendship and bad int he until pte! known it yt ad ireten ye ot file attachment our heart protests against recording in the paper be had done so much te establish the verdict of our judgment upon his acts. We leave him to the peuple, © bis conscience and to his Goa.’” THE MILL. STRIKES. LATEST ACTION OF THE OPERATIVES—ARBITRA- TION DISCUSSED—ANOTHER DEPUTATION AP- POINTED TO WAIT ON THE PROPRIETORS. Loyspanz, R. 1, Jan. 25, 1 Another large mass meeting of the operativ Lonsdale and New Village was beld to-day at Barry’s “Hall, and, despite the keen air and the fact that no fires are made in the building, the women and men re- mained until the close of the meeting and were as earnest as ever in the determination not to resume | work, believing firmly that the company would recede | from their decision. This hope is tenaciously cinng to and they appear to have faith. As usual the police were present, but they were not needed, Mr. Lewis presided. He stated that he had heard considerable murmuring because he had takea upon the Goddard Brothers on In view of this fact he would resigo, He went to see the agents for the best inter- ests of the operatives, and they would find it so in time, He accordingly vacated the chair, and there was considerable applause, | THR CHAIRMAN VINDICATED, Michael McCarty was nominated, but before being | elected he stepped to the platform and said be was sur- prised to see the feeling of the majority against their former chairman, Mr. Lewis bad attended their meet- ings, and he knew he could do better than any one else in that position They could not get a man to fill his place, Had he not conducted the meetings with credit to himself and the cause? Nota man in exist. istence could do better, and be had big | doubts but what Lewis? action wags not just right, True, he was umauthorized and went | unoMelally, but he woutd say that if be (McCarty) was their chairman he would have pursued the eame course, whether they were displeased or not. If Mr. ‘Lewis had brought @ favorable report they would not have treated him so. Simply because he failgd to ac- complish his object he was deposed. It was not right, and under the circumstances he would not accept the nomination, and if they had aman who could do bet- ter than he bad done it was their duty to appoint him. John Mooney, Patrick Boland and Patrick Sullivan ‘were ig tarn nominated and declined. Here Mr. Lewis stated that the grumblers woula see now how dificult Soa en to accept the position. Mr. Mc- och &@ motion that Mr. Lewis be re-elected, ‘was carried amid great applause. s PROPOSED ARBITRATION. A telegram was received from E. L. Rosa, editor of he Providence Sun, labor paper, signifying bis to serve on ine Committee of Arbitration, was acceptable to both ‘ties, and the fol- wing was read from the other gentleman ap- poibted on that committee yesterday :-— Loxsvate, Jan, 25, 1876, of Weavers’ and Operatives! earned of my n ofthe so-tyied arbitrators to Company “and lay the case of att betore them, &c, Thanking you for the bi nominee to represent your interests before Brothers, I must fe poland leclive ser: seeaeiey, belie vin| of are is better Ca ed YOUr grigvances t would wore successfully represent you, Qonarng thet much of the trouble oxietiag between manotacturers and their employe® arises from the excess of labor in the m: ny ficult v ; ‘The letter was received with evider agra The Chairs stated that be bad beard fault found because it was proposed to have ovtsiders address the meeting and the only reply he reeeived was cries of “Shus them out! we don't want to hear from them |" THR VOTE OV YESTERDAY RECONSIDERED, George Ramsden said there was no use of arbitration MW they were not willing to abide the decision, It was no way of doing business, They should dispose of the matter like men and women. It was not boys’ play if they wanted to fight the issue to the bitter ond as they nta Arbitration ewithout they were willing to abide the result. With considera- feeling tho = veuerabig seaveman — pyd | Indies be added to the committee, but he sul everything now was a deadlock, and he could seo jothing but starvation before them. An operative said did not understand by the vote of yesterday that they were not to pangs Bon the decision of the com- mittee, He was assured that it was so, and that if there Was not @ favorable they would reject it A motion was made that the vote of yesterday be recon- sidered, and it was moved to abide the decision of arbitrators and also to rescind the vote of yesterday. The Chairman said he knew the Lonsaale Company would listen to all their help, even if they could not Nesten to outsiders here. A voice in the audience cried out, “The Goddurds will not arbitrate,” Patrick Barrett suggested that they do their own business without arbitration, as be believed they comld settle the difficulty themselves. It was moved that two gentlemen be appointed a committee from among the operatives. An amendment to this was made by Mooney that two ently withdrew the amendment, as he was informed that the Goddards would be displeased. , Adams Smith said it would be businesslike if a repre- sentative was elected from each of the departments in the milis, The Lonsdale Company had not appointed anybody to meet the arbitrators. He urged them to vote, providing that was the decision of the committee, shoulder to shoulder. *‘Let us ight the battie for right and divide our last crust.”’ A NEW DELRGATION APPOINTED. The chairman stated that he knew the Goddards would not hear any larger committee than three, and accordingly John Mooney and Patrick Boland were ap- pointed a committee to wait upon the agenis, and re- port at the meeting to-morrow morning. Mooney said that if they. refused to receive them they could return home minus only their ca: wanted to distinctly understand what power w: in the committee and if they would abide by cision of the agents. If they did not aceept the report then they would be no further advanced than they were last week. Ramsden urgently recommended them to abide the decision, as the committee, being operatives, would do all in their power for their common cause, He wanted the committee to try and induce the Goddards to reduce the price of rents and meat. He hoped they would put confidence in their committee and vote to accept their decision. He understood that larger number were at work to-day. (Cries of “No, No.”) If it was so they bad sneaked in so that no one should know their action. Here a lady in the hall cried out that she hoped none would go to work until they got the reduction re- turned, An operative hoped the committee would suggest to the agents that they (the operatives) were willing to compromise by going to work for one half of the pro- posed cut down, He did not believe the company would recede from their letter published in the Henan last week. An operative in the rear of the hall begged them not to go to work until they were assured that the re- duction would be returned, The chairman then put the motion that they abide the decision of the arbitrators, but the audience evi- dently were not ready, f Rainsden spoke of strikes in England, where the aues- tion was left out to arbitrawon, and that the help, upon being convinced that the mills’ could not pay them any higher wages, had returned to work like gentlemen. Agar the chair announced the resolution, but hoped that before final action was taken they would discuss it thoroughly. No one desiring to say anvthing further, the motion was put by a hand vote aud evidently lost, and there was considerable applause, Mooney said he would decline serving on the com- mittee, and he thought such proceedings were un- worthy the cause represented. He suid that the God- dard Brothers might be inauced to give them a favor- able report oF might have suggestions to make, which would be pleas! the operatives, ‘“‘Ifwe are notin earnest for God ¢ let us stop right here.” . Patrick Lynn said he would suggest that the com- mittee inform the Goddard Brothers that if, after working two months, they refused to give back the reduction they ‘would leave the villages en masse after giving two weeks’ notice. His ideas were not entertained fora moment. The vote being doubted in regard to abiding the decision of the committee, tellers were appointed and it was found that a majority favored the adoption of the committee's report to-mor- row, and it was moved that the committee proceed to Providence and make their business known to the God- dard Brothers, and the meeting adjourned until ten o'clock to-morrow, THE WRLP STILL FIRM. The help, at least many of them, will not be in favor of going to work at the proposed’ rates, knowing that before the redaction they could not support their fam- ilies, and the Hratp correspondent was informed at the close of the meeting that they would never work untu their former pay was restored. Upwards of 3,000 bales of cotton are on the way here for the Lonsdale Company, some forty car loads having already arrived, Up to noon to-day Patterson & Brothers, of Valley Falls, bad sold seventeen passage tickets to Europo per steamer Siberia, which leaves Boston on Saturday, and they expect to send off fifty more before the close of the week. A nuinber are en route to Columbus, Ga., the Lowell of the South. To-day 311 looms were run- ning in both villages, In Pawtucket, at the Slater mills, about one-balt of the looms are running, and the same is the case at Blackstone. A QUESTION OF STARS AND STRIPES, The following petition to Congress, which has been signed by allthe prominent American shipowners of this city, will be transmitted to Washington to-morrow, Its object is to defeat a bill before Congress, introduced by Mr. Kehr, of Missouri, to authorize vessels built abroad, belonging wholly to citizens of the United States, to be registered here as American vessels. The petition bas been prepared under the auspices of the Vessel Owners’ Association ot New York, and among the signers may be cited F, Alexandre, P. Clyde, ©.

OPPOSITION TO THE UNITED STATES SHIPPING LAW. A spirited meeting of the Ship Owners’ Association was held yesterday afterndon at the Maritime Ex- change, in Pearl street, with reference to the United States Shipping law. The chair was occupied by Mr. Gustavus A. Breit, Mr. D, RK. Norvell acting as secre- tary. Mr, B, J. Wenberg rolated the fact of the illegal seiz- ure of his schooner, the H. B. Grifin, bound for Hayti, by order of United States Commissioner Difncan, last Friday. He stated in a terse address that, by virtue of the circular of Secretary Bristow permitting American vessels clearing for the British Provinces, West Indies and Mexico to ehip their own crews, as !ormerly, with- out going before the United States Commissioner, he | had shipped the crew of said vessel in a legal manner. Collector Arthur, of she Custom House, bad permitted his vessel to clear, in abeyance to the said order, and now Commissioner Duncan refuses t acknowledge the validity of the vessel’s clearance, and, further than this, had seized erg dded that he had given bonds tie matter and the vessel proceeded to sea Other ee ers followed, pledging themselves to fight the mmissioner in the courts, anid it was resolved to en- gage the services of a leading lawyer, well versed in maritime matters, One gentleman said, “Let Duncan seize as many vessels as he likes; the more the merrier; we will have a test case, or something stronger pared for him for overstepping his powers” It was reported that next week the two Havana steamship lines will Tefuse to ship their crews any longer through the Com- missioner’s office.

THE PERIOD OF CONVALESCENCE. All Danger from the Primary Cause at One Time Removed. Bruvaston, N. J., Jan, 25, 1876, The testimony for the State in rebuttal procecded this morning. Attorney General Vanatta conducted the examination of witnesses. Francis P, Crocker was sworn, and testified:—I live in Vineland; am editor and publisher of the Vineland Weekly; know that Mr, Landis was married in 1868; 1 presume I received s communication from him about thut time; I do not remember that the article in the Weekly you hold in your hand is the one; I did not charge my memory with it; it was eight years ago, Witness said he could not remember anything about the original manuscript; he knew the handwriting of Landis; did not remember anything about the band. writing of this manuserpt; he had no doubt but the article was in Landis’ writing. Chancellor Williamson objected to the evidence on the ground of there being no proof of the authorship of the article and that the witness knew nothing about it, The letter was then read under the ruling of Judge. Reed. It referred to Mr. Landis’ difficulty with Com- modore Meade; the trouble he experienced in obtalming his wife; the insanity and gconfinement of the Commo- dore; his subsequent marriage ‘and expression of devo- tion to his wife, During this reading Landis was con- vulsed with emotion, and his friends watched bim closely as if in dread of something that might occur, It was some minutes before he regained apything like composure, TESTIMONY OP DR. BROWN. Dr, Louis Brown was sworn:—I was the physician who attended Carruth from the time he was shot until he died; about the middle of June a piece of bone was discharged from the wound; it was in the lips of the wound and working its way out; it was abouta sixth ofan inch long and an eighth wide, and ina good state of preservation; its edges were irregular; it was soft- ened in a measure by the action of nature; the scalp about the wound was somewhat swollen at first, but the swelling on the back of the neck did not go down until the abscess broke and discharged; in September the abscess broke; I never probed tne wound; at the time Drs, Ingram and Bidwell were visiting Carruth in September the dura mater was not closed; there was a discharge from the wound; alter Carruth’s re- turn from Clinton, N. Y., his health steadily declined. DR, THOMAS RECALLED, Dr. Thomas recalled by the prosecution;:—In the post-mortem the removal of tho scalp did not expose anything like the appearance of an abscesa; the re- moval of the skull exposed more fully what was the thing protruding; the protrusion was brain matter and tussue; bad a probe been inserted it would bave passed through the dura mater, brain substance, and finally entered the abscesses; my opinion, as an anatomist, 1s that there are cases in which a physician would be Justified in piercing through portions of the brain mat- ter to reach an abscess, but he ought to fee! location; you couid not tell by any appeara: where the abscess was in Carruth’s ct what I should have done I cannot say; I never saw Carruth alive, but surgeons agree that great care should be used and cer- tain evidence obtained before opening ap abscess in the brain; cases are rare where it is necessary; the chances of the patient are small; I think that great mental anxiety in such a case as Carruth’s would tend to produce suppuration and abscesses; the tendency of pus would be toward the opening in the head; pieces of bone in the head would become centres of irritation ; had the abscess nearest the orifice beep opened | think these pieces of bone would have come out soon after; 1 think in time all these abscesses would have emptied themselves had the man lived.

MORGAN'S TESTIMONY. Dr. John C. Morgan was sworn:—I reside in Phila- deiphia and in th mM a Surgeon ; have practised in several States my; Was three years with the Fifteenth have treated patients surgically very e: ively; the number of gunshot wounds I ted 1s countl have wounds in the head; Surgeon General's ro port not more than fifteen or twenty cases out of 5,000 where patients lived more than seven years with gunshot wounds in the head; I never operated butin oye case of abscess on the brain; it was caused by a piece of bone; we removed the bone and trepanned the skull; the patient began to sink in a few days, and eventually died; in a future operation I shail fee} justified in making more of an exploration than I did in this of Carrath’s; 1 visited Carruth first on the 22d of March; Drs, Tul- ler and Wiiey were present; I had nothing to guide me in my exploration but the probe; I thought I might discover the ball; I inserted it’ gently about an inch and three-quarters (probe shown with a blunt end); I was extremely careful; I gave him no injury; did not apply force enough to injure brain matter (the doctor here illustrated his use of the probe); I next’saw Car- ruth on the 26th of March in company with Dr, Tuller; Ido not remember any probing that day; Carruth condition was very favorable; saw him again on the 27th; be was improving steadily. CARRUTH AT ONE TIME CONVALESCENT. After recess Dr. Morgan again took the stand. He said, in explanation of a remark made in the morning, 1 wish to say this—that the multivude of cases of gun- shot wounds in the head are killed on the spot; that those who live become the subjects of report and ap- pear in the Surgeon General’s reports; that out of those thus reported some fifteen or twenty out of from four thousand fo fiye thousand were alive ay the tine | the report of the Surgeon General was published; on the 12th of May 1 probed the wound on the right side; | Dr. Tuller called my attention to another passage ; I in- | serted the probe, and found a passage which I | considered the result of suppuration from a wounded | | portion of the brain on the left side; I used the utmost care and know I did not hurt him or mjure the brain substance in the least; I we considered it very bad surgery not to Mave sought for that ball. Cross-examined by Colonel Potter—In my opinion a wound is dangerous if it is in a horizontal line above the point where drainage can be secured; this wound was ofa character where drainage could be secured; I think a piece of bone travelled ahead of the bali; in Mr. Lincoln's case @ piece of bene was found that had thus | travelled and lodged in one of the ventricles; ‘uth started on hi nger from the primary cause of danger; Dr. Tuller | | agreed with me in this opinion; | thought Carruth was i convalescent, | To the Attorney General—tI gave a certificate that | Carruth was free trom the primary danger. Dr. Morgan then explained what he meant by primary danger, but suid he did not consider abscesses as among them. At the time I gave the certificate I believed the wound was entirely healed; I gaye the certificate for the bene- ft of both Landis and Carruth, that Carruth might travel and Fandig be bailed out, Dr, Emory Tuller. was sworn and testified. His tes- fone did not differ from what has already been pub- ished, TESTIMONY AS TO SANITY. Dr. John Ingram was recalled and testified—I have known Mr, Landis ten years; I met him as often as any other man, perhaps, wlio was interosted ip town affairs; I beard him make a speech in Vineland in December, o an hour's duration, extempore, I think, to a very fair | audience; this was after his return from Europe; he | discussed the difference between Amerfean and Eu- | ropean customs; his subject was, “My European Tour;”” I thought bis views reasonable; was not struck by 'y lack of coherency; was too far off to ob- serve hi eye; I saw Mr. Landis in his house in January; went there to arrange for alecture to be delivered for the benefit of the high school; he received us courteously; he was decided in his view that his next lecture should be free to the publi noticed nothing peculiar in his conduct; this was about the 15th of January; I only saw bim twice after his return from Europe; prior to the homicide I noticed nothing that indicated insanity about him; was present at @ school district meeting on the 16th of February; Mr. Landia addressed the meeting, and a vote carried through the measure supported by him; I noticed nothing wrong with thea; I went with Mr. Sawyer to Landis’ house Burk was not present, | THE LATE FRANCIS GARDNER, —— | A meeting of the graduates of the Boston Latin School during the term of U 6 Francis Gardner, LL.

It is a mode so simple that it seems almost absurd to claim that it is new; and yet I know uo other reason why jt bas not been employed in the prediction of occultations, Were Electra, b, the star nearest to the moon in the diagram, suddenly to blaze forth like the sun on the night of February 3, the moon would cast a shadow which would sweep over the United States, and every- whore within that shadow b would be occulted or eclipsed by the moon, The central line of that shadow would pass over all the places where b would be cen- eclipeed. North of that lneand within the shadow the moon would pass more or jess below the stur; south of that line, the moon would pass more or less above the star, ana the duration of the eclipse in each case would be shortened. This line of central eclipse will be the line of central occultation end Passes throvgh the following places:—Commencing about 1 deg. south of San Diego, Cal., it passes through Santa Fé, New Mexico; Jefferson City and St, Louis, Mo.; Louisville and Frankfort, Ky., aud Charleston and Fredericksburg, Va, At the longitude of Washington, D. C., the mitale of he occultation occurs at 9b. 49m. P, M. For any Point wost of that the western longitude in time must be subtracted (one hour for 15 dogs.), and also 25 min. for each hour of west longitude for the effect of parallax; for any point east of that a similar amount of time must be added, and the result will be the local time of the middle of the occultation of b. For the immersion, or beginning of the occultation, If the latitude of the place of observation is within’ dog. of the fundamental line above described, subtract 35 min, from the time of the middle of the occultation; if 8deg. from the line, whether north or south, sub- tract 30 min, ; if 11 deg. from the line, subtract 26 min. if 13 deg., subtract 18 min,, but if more than 15 deg. from the line, the star will probably not be occulted, For the emersion, or end of the occultation, the samo number of minutes must be added to the time of the middle of the occultation, The apparent path of the moon through the Pleiades will also depend upon the distance of the place of ob- vation from this fundamental line. On the diag: ine is drawn representing the direction of the motion of the moon toward the left. For each degree of lat! tude of the place of observation, north of the line, tl moon's centre is depressed 1-15 1.30 of its diameter. The po: given for the city of New York at the moment of the immersion of 6, lew York being nearly 3 deg. north of the line, the moon’s centre is depressed of its radius, as will be see!

For apy other star of the group two corrections must be applied—first, a new line must be drawn paraltel to the fundamental line; second, the time of the middle of the occultation must be changed. The amount of these changes is given in the following table, in which I give—tirst, the name of the sta. second, the letter by which it is designated in th diagram; third, the distance of the new liné, 1 whether toward the north or south; fourth, the correc. tion of the time. The star Taygeia (¢) I huve not in- cluded in the table, for the reason that it will only be occulted in the extreme southern portion of the Unite States, so near the limb that the time can only be accu- tume may be readily obtained from the diagram. So also from the diagram the times may be approximately ascertained for the smaller stars represented :— ‘ame. ‘ance of Line. Difference of Time. Celeno, £ + deg. 3 —Ob, 03m, Electra, b..

Adding 1b. 14m. from the table the middle of the occultation of Alcyone will be at 10h. 20m. The line for Eta being 8 deg. north of the fundamental line, and"Detroit being 4 deg. north of the same line, Detroit is 4 deg. south of the line for Eta, The semi-duration of the occultation, therefore, is about thirty-four minutes, Subtracting this the immersion will occurat 9n. 65m, Direct com- putation makes it two minutes lat Were the earth a flat surface, so thatall these lines would be straight, this method would be as accurat ple, ihe béte noire which robbed th sins luxury of ath in the tail of Coggia's- comet, will here also interfere} 80 t! ag ale ou curvature will not be sufficient, east of the Mi: i ley, to make any appreciable difference in the position of the moon, it will im some places mak ’ difference in the ti ‘of disappearance which are oceat iP’ er spread further apart, aud tions is somew Bat extende: HENRY M.

Count Lagrange, as sole proprietor of the large breeding establishment at Daugu, in Normandy, France, had the houor of breeding this wonderful race- horse and owning him during the whole of his racing career. He was foaled in 1862, and was by Monarque, | Outof Miss Gladiator, she by Gladiator, out of Taffrail, | He won all the great three-year-old events of 1865 im England and also tne grand Prix de Paris. His first | appearance on the British turf was in the Two Thou- | sand Guineas, which he captured, there being eighteen! | starters out of eighty-eight subscribers. He then} | added to bis already great reputation by winning th | Derby, beating twenty-eight others, the total number Of subscribers being 249 Christmas Carol was second | and Eltham thira, When the telegram announcing thé fact What Gladiateur bad won the Derby reached Daugw tho Mayor of the village sent a band of music round thé Beighborhood and the people assembled in the park ofthe chateau, the country residence of Count Lagrange, to Tejoice in the news. Hogsh Mf wine and barrels o! cider were carted into the p Bullocks aud sheep Were roasted whole, and there was eating and drinking,! Singing aod dancing, until the old people bad to ba taken back to their homes in wheelbarrows, and the young men and women followed in a track that wad retty correctly indicated by the letter 8, Then ladiateur won the Drawing Room Stakes for thre ear-olds at Goodwood, over the Craven course. Th jad thirty-eight subscribers and but three starters,; Longdoun being forty lengths behind the winner, andl The Princess of Wales third. He then walked over forthe second year of the Fourteenth Bentinck Memorial, Grat- wicke Stakes course, which was oliowed vy his victor im the St, Leger Stakes at Doncaster, ¥ out of 243 subscribers. Mr. J. cond and Lord Stamford viow 4 to ladiateur on the score of age, and requested to hava is mouth examined. The usual certiicate having been! produced when this horse ran for the Derby, thol stewards refused now to entertain the objection, unlesa Mr. Graham could state in writing his grounds for sup. osing that the horse was not of the right age, Tha f failed to do, and, though the objection was repeated after the race, the stewards still declined to interfere, and ordered the stakes to be paid over to Count La- grange. Even to this day this attempted disqualifica- tion of Glad@eur is a disagreeable reminiscence in Euglish turf circles, bat none Bow attempt to say the horse was ‘not of the proper age. Tho winning of the great events of the year—tho Two Thousand Guineas, Derby and St, Leger— by the same horse, had never before occurred, ana caused great interest to be centred in Gladiateur. Ho then carrled of the Doncaster Stakes, Jast mile and a halfot the St. Leger course, there being bat three starters, out of seventy-three subscribers. The Newmarket Derby, last mile and a half of the Beacon. course, also. fell to him, beating Lougdoun forty lengths, His last race as a three-year old was the Cambridgeshire Stakes, in which he was beaten and not placed, carrying 133. pounds, including twelve pounds extra, In his four. year-old form he walked over in the Derby Trial Stakes at the Newr ket Craven meeting, last mile anda haif of the Beacon course; also walked over tor, the Claret Stakes, same meeting, the course being from: the Ditch-in, 2 miles 105 yards, and as, a tinal per~ formance on the turf, won the gold cup at Ascot, about’ two and ahailf miles. He was then retired to the stud at Middie Park, Eltham, Kent, Gladiatear wa: @ bay horse, sixteen hands high, owned at the time of his death by Captain Ray, of the Brick House, Dunmow, His progeny have never distinguished themselves og the turf, Archi imedes third, to the race the owner of Regalia object Pro-| INTS ABROAD, PIGEON SHOOTING AT MONACO.
