EVIDENCE OF SANITY. After recess Orson F, Wheeler was called and exumined by Attorney General Vanatta. He satd:— 1 kept the Landis Hotel im Vineland; Landis’ ofice was im the same building ‘and con- | nected with the hotel; during the spring of the ear 1874, and just before hig departure for Burope, ¢ took his dinner at the hotel every day; saw him aiter bis return and talked with him; I spoke about the excessive remt 1 was paying and asked for a reduction; Landis replied, “It is beneath my dignity; I urged the matter, and said I woula be compelled to give up the hotel if I could not secure a reduction; Landis re- plied, “It is beneath my dignity ;”’ he urged me to kee; me; Witness met Landis many times about business | matters, but never noticed any appearance of insanity of avy kind in his dress, manners or conversation.

Eli B. Hendle eworn—I was present at a meeting in Vineland, at which Mr, Landis spoke; Landis charac- | terized Carruth's paper in the course of his speech as a | low, dirty, nasty, scurrillous, injurious and libellous sheet; this meeting was in 1872; he said also that the /n- dependent was an injury to Vineland, and prevented set- tlers from coming in; witness saw Landis frequently and heard him speak after his return from Europe, but never discovered any sign of insanity about bim. Several other witnesses testitied to the sanity of Lan- | dis, both before and after the European trip. The Court then adjourned.

THE LONG ISLAND PLANING MILL DESTROYED— toss = $40,000-—onz HUNDRED PERSONS THROWN OUT OF WORK. Early yesterday morning o fire originated tn the engine room of the Long Island Saw, Planing and Moulding Mill, corner ef Bond and Third streots, Brooklyn, which spread with such rapidity thatin a short time the extensive baildings were a heap of ruins, The walls were partly of brick and partly of wood, two stories high, with a frontage of 125 feet on Bond street and extending 160 feet in the direction of Hoyt street The fire was discovered about hal{-past one o’clock by Jobn Conlon, the watchman, who saw smoke issuing from the crevices in the roof and around the windows, An alarm was at once telegraphed and promptly re- sponded to by the engines and truc ks detailed for that district, Several steady streams were soon pourtn; on the fire, which by this time had begua to sp: with alarming rapidity, Chief Engimeer Nevins sent for reinforcements, and soon seven engines-and three tracks were battling with the dames. The inflammabie nature of the contents of the mills rendered the firemen and the owners of property im the vicinity apprehensive that there was great dauger the fre communicatin, with about $600,000 worth of lumber which was piled near by on the bank of the Gowanus Canal, By exert- ing themselves to the atmost the firemen succeeded in contining the fire to the mills, which were a total loss, Over 100 men wore thrown’ out of employment by the comflagration. The mills were owned by Messrs, Pease & Poillon, who estimate their total loss on ma chinery, buildings and stock at a trifle over $40,000. The loss is partially covered by insurance, which is | im the Lancaster, Atna, Hartford, Orient, Phonix, America and other companies, } Fire Marshal Keady made an investigation.

WUITE. Mr. Henry C. Bowen yesterday repeated his former declaration that be is at present too much engaged in important business concerns to give any very serious attention to the preparation of a response to the in- quiries presented by Mr. S. V. White. In fact, he has determined to take his own judgment as to the proper time for a response, Mr. 3. V. White, the author of the complaint against Mr. Bowen, gives a suggestive response to Mr. Bowen's seoming carelessness 1D “4 to the action taken, After repeating bis remark that be had always been fairly represented in the Herato re , he said he wished it to be understood that in making the speech of complaint against Mr, Bowen, which was published m the Hekaty, he was pot waisee | as the mouthpiece of any committee nor of any set of men, but simply for the good of the church, on his own responsibility, as he understood his duty tobe He sald that both bim- self and Mr, Bowen on beconnung mombers of Plymouth church made 1} their solemn duty to preserve, as far as in them lay, the parity of the church, and to do all in their power Lo preserve ius peace and secure its pros- perity. In accordance with that solemn duty, there- lore, if Mr. Bowen knew aught against the pastor which should lay him open to a charge of impurity, in word or conduct, he was bound to make it known to the chureh; and ifhe did not kuow anything against him which could be called impure alter having caused or permitted it to be reported, that he did, he was, and is, bound to restore and preserve the peace of the church by declarmg his lack of such knowleage. And now, said Mr. White, if be shall fail to respond, either pro or con, I shall feel it to be my imperative daty to see whether the church will not caro suffi. ciently for its own purity and peace to cause Mr. Bowen to make adefinite statement of the nature of tho im- parity, if any there be; or, if he knows of none, that he make to the church a definite declaration of that fact If will be inferred from the above that it has been determined to bring Mr. Bowen to a definite statement of what he does or does not know in relation to Mr. Beecher; or, if failing in that, to bring the church to a dodnite declaration as to his status in the church.

On one side is fouud the Pacific Mail Company and the transcontinental Pacific roads, represented by Jay Gould, in his dual capacity of manager of both companies, and on the other the Panama Railroad, or rather some of the strongest stockholders thereof, rep- resented by Mr, T. W. Parks, and a powerful steamship corporation, whose fleet of steamers is the largest in American waters, The latter will place an opposition | line on the New York, Panamaand San Francisco route, with a steamer every ten days, and with the requisite branch lines om the Central American coasts, iu active competition with the Pacific Mall sjeamera, ‘Ou the part of the Pacific Mail Company a vigorous effort will be made to complete the Costa Rica Railroad, which has been so many years in process of building, and which has swallowed in ‘‘its insatiable maw’ so many million pounds sterling of our British cousins | without the faintest prospect of surrendering a penny inreturn. In order to be quite even with the Panama Railroad Company in the contest the Pacific Mail pro- poses to get control of and complete the Costa Rica road, and send {ts passengers and freight over that line instead of the Isthmus route, To this end it is under- stood that a corps of engineers has been sent to Costa Rica te complete ie surveys; to ascertain the exact condition of the road’ and its plant, | and to push to completion its eastern division, Au immense quantity of plant, both for running and building purposes, was purchased by the original pro- moters, and all of this can be utilized. It is commonly known that enough locomotives and machinery for building and repairs are,already on the ground and paid for to stock a road almost ten times its length. Such extravagance in expenditures was never known elsewhere, and the English stockholders, sick, disgusted and thoroughly worn out, are now ready to sell out or give control to an American company which will complete the great work. Mr. Sidney Dion, of the Union Pacifle and Pacific Mail, is regarded as the prom- inent mover in this new scheme, and he is expected to take personal control of it THE LODER MYSTERY, The excitement in regard to the mysterious death of ex-Justice Loder, in Jersey City, is on the increase, A HERALD reporter made inquiry yesterday, and ascer- tained that Loder had called at adrug store in his neighborhood and asked for five cents’ worth of cor- rosive sublimate on the day preceding bis death. The druggist refused to sell it, and Loder immediately pro- ceeded to a paint shop in the vicinity and succeeded in . purchasing five cents’ worth of Paria green.
