She'swears that on the 22d of August lait Mary Read. was in her room all day, it being Sunday, from four o'clock in the morning ubtil eight the same evening The two women roomed together at No. 43 Bo: The woman Team gave to her companion (Read), w was sick and in bed, money to purchase medicine. She says sho heard Miss Read say that she would get even with Dolan, who, on the Ist of August, struck her when she was itoxicated, Miss Team also testifies that she gave Dolan a cane with 4 A HLYRR MONKEY head on it, and having a silver band around tt with Dolan’s name engraved on the band. Ata party which was given in the Argyle Kooms, Sixth avenue, Dolan eae intoxicated, and Miss Team took the cane aWay from him for safe keeping. On the l4th of Augist, while she was going to an excursion on one of the Third avenue cars, she forget the cane in question, Dut upon missing tt returned to the car and discovere: | that it was gone. Miss Team also testifies that Dolan was not with either her or Miss Read in their room during | the months of July or August last, at which period both womea roomed together. ‘The new witness is an actress or ballet dancer, and Dolan states that she was absent from the city at the | time of his trial; she was in the West. Upon her ro- turn to New York she heard of the unfortunate man’s conviction, and came forward voluntarily to try and | save him by giving her evidence. | _ Another new witness has turned up in the person of | | Joseph W. Irving, @ compositor in Scott’s printipg | | establishment in Spruce street. Dolan states that the | substance of Irving's testimony is to the effect that | one evening, between seven and eight o'clock, when he © | was crossing through Canal street, he passed two | women who were wrangling on the sidewalk between | Christie street and the Bowery, He listened to them | | out of curiosity, and beard one of the women accuse the | } other of “hanging John Dolan,”? The smailer one of the | two answered with an oath that she would putthe rope — round the other girl’s “damned neck if she said to her i WHAT JOHN DOLAN HAD DONE.” | After this the two women came to blows, and some "one in the crowd remarked that that was Mary Read, | | who had testified against Dolan. A visit to Mr, Howe’s office showed that Dolan’s | counsel has been preparing to carry the case into the Court of Appeals. It is probable that Dolan will be re- | sentenced to-morrow at the General Term of the Court | of Oyer and Terminer. After this an application will | be made pro forma to the Court of Appeals m Albany, asking for a stay of proceedings. | RUBENSTEIN'S CONDITION. | | | The physician who attends the prisoners in the Ray- mond Street Jail, Dr. A. Warren Shepard, is most attentive to Rubenstein. Tne Doctor says that, al- — though Pesach is greatly debilitated, his system is in a healthier condition now than when he was first placed | | in confinement. He has not eaten meat for fifteen © years. He partakes pete of bread, red onions, and _ sometimes calls for a raw salt fy | The prevalence of rats in the cell and corridor gives him no small un- easiness, particularly at night. Yesterday, being the Jewish Sabbath, was spent by the prisoner in devo- | tional exercise. ' He arose at eight and read tke Bible, proceeding with many genuflections and with his face turned toward the direction of Jerusalem. He will not | tribution of $60,000 to education and $25,000 for a» converse on the subject of the trial, but says that his ' counsel are but instramenits of God's will. He is satis- fied that his innocence of the crime with whtch he is charged will be clearly established betore the jury. NEIL DOUGHERTY'S WILL. Yesterday morning Judge Gilbert, of the Supreme Court, rendered a decision in the application in behalf | of Mafery Flynn and others against J. J. Garvey, | executor of the will of the late Neii Dougherty. De- ; ceased, who was a bachelor and left a grocery store in | Brooklyn, died in 1874, leaviug his property to the Bishop of Raphboe, Ireland, for the purpose of estab- pene of the | in which Mr. Dougherty was born, The will has | uently contested by “heirs at law’? ‘since it ‘was admitted to probate. ari The last motion was to co! racine the executor from adininistering the provision® of the will and to | appoint a receiver for property involved, Judge Gilbert | denied tho motion, with costs, @nd the receiver 18 di- | rected to pay over to the executors, with leave to move for a compensation.

RESCUED FROM THE DEEP. 4 PITIABLE TALE OF THE SUFFERINGS OF THE CREW OF THE SHIP JACOB V, TROOP. About two o'clock yesterday morning a cluster of tugs moved slowly into the East River, escorting a ship lying low in the water, and bearing on her, from stem to stern, marks of hard usage, Tuis was the ship Jacob V. Troop, which left Philadelphia on Jana- ary 29, and in the gale of Wednesday bad been aban- doned by the steamtug in tow of her. Tho story of hardship sustained during ti last few days, as told by tho officers and men, is a very pitiful one, and several Of the crew have suffered so severely from fatigue and exposure as to be in an exceedingly Precarious condition. There are some, too, who reflect harshly on the action of the captain of the steamtug North America, which abandoned the ship, wWater- logged and leaking as she was, in the midst of a severe storm. It is claimed, however, that bis course was dictated only bya necessary regard for seli-preserva- tion, as pO tug could live in sucha sea, It appears from the captain's log that the . Troop left Callao on September 8, with a cargo of guano, and on Jan- uary 16 she ran ashore on Peck’s Beach, which neces- sitated her going to Philadelphia, where a» portion of her cargo was discharged. As sho was bound for New York the steam- tug North America was chartered to tow her. At four o'clock on Wednesday morning, when thirty miles southwest by south of the Highlands the gale struck her and continued with unabated violence through the day. The vessel's timbers had been strained when she rub aground, and now it was found that the water was steadily riging in the hold. The steam pumps were got in order and every effort was made to guard against the heavy seas which were buffeting the ship about and every moment widening the leaks in her bottom, For a time the Lold was considerably freed of the water, but the rolling of the vessel impaired the effi- ciency of the pumps, and at last a high sea breaking over the deck washed them away into the lee scuppers. ‘Then all hands were set to work upon the puimps, and in the face of the biting gale, with the sea washing | around thom, the crew remained at thetr posts, strug- gling against \he increasing depth of water below. At this moment the steamtug, which had also suffered severely, dropped the hawser and parted company, leaving tae leaking ship rolling about, with the waves every moment breaking over her, From that time the sufferings of the crew became intense, Many of them had no change of apparrel, and their clothes, saturated with water and stiffening in the cold, clung to their backs and chilled them to the bone, But it was life and for thirty-six hours they toiled at the pumps without being al man aloft. Captain Smith was determined not to aban. dou the ship while she could be kept afloat, and he re- mained on duty encouraging the men and endeavoring to put the steam pumps in working order by lashing them to the deck, Just as the men were becoming thoroughly exhausted and dispirite@ Captain Conley, of the W. W. Story, sighted the vessel and came to her assistance. Part of the Story’s crew were put on board, and on the morning of the 4th inst. pilot boat No. 3 was spoken and sent into the harbor for aid. Sho | brought to Quarantine five sailors belonging to the | J. ¥. Troop, who had been severely {rostbitten and | who presented a pitiable appearance, the use of their limbs being entirely gone and they seeming utterly pros- trated by exhaustion. They were sent to the hospital at Quarantine, and several tugboats were despatched to bring the vessel into port. They tound her olf tho | Highlands, and with considerable difliculty succeeded in safely docking her. ‘ A FISHING PARTY DROWN. ° ED. CAPSIZING QF A SMALL BOAT IN THR GALE | WEDNESDAY — FIVE INHABITANTS OF | CANARSIE, L, L, DROWNED—TESTIMONY OF | AN” EYE-WITNESS. Toms River, N. J., Feb. 5, 1875, In the gale on Wednesday, of this week, a small boat, thirty feet long by seven wide, was driven trom the harbor at Waretown, N. J., to the middle of Barnegat Bay and upset, and all on board were lost. The occu- oN of Canarsie, L. 1, familiarly known as “Dick Mott” his threesons, a young man who was with them, name unknown, The youngest of the three sons was’ about | seven years old; the next a small lad and thirg@ young | ‘They bave been for some time in the bay, catch- | and digging clams, shipping them to New | York market. It is supposed that the squall, which came along here about balt-past four A. M., blowing | about sevent’-tive miles an hour, reaching Waretown at near five o'clock, struck the boat, ; ing her to drag her anchor. They’ were | undoubtedly awakened by the wind, and the three men, | seeing at a glance their situation, Hastily put on a few pieces of clothing to keep the cold winds off, then few to the deck to haul in the anchor and make other neces- sary preparations and save the boat and run her, if pe ‘ible, to. the beach ahead of the wind, leaving the oys in the cabin; but the wind was blowing too strong for them, so much so thatit Kept the cable so tight — that 1 was impossible to lift the anchor. SEEN PROM 4 TOWER. Captam Birdsall saw them from the tower of his house. He said the wind seemed to be lifting all the water from the bay. The water was blowing twenty feet high. It was impossible for asmati boat to stand long. The three men kept tugging at the auchor for Ine, but all in vain, as the next squall shut them from his view, and when the water cleared a Little again he looked, but could see them no more; they were gone, and the boat had capsizea. THE BODIES FOUND. Daring Wednesday it was so rough no one could go to them. On Thursday some parties went out and found the three bodies a little way apart on the flats and the boat with the bodies of the two boys in the cabin nearly sunk about a quarter of amile trom them, As there was no Coroner present the three bodies were staked on the flats. It was supposed that when the three men struck the fiats, which were dry, they started for the beach, little way distant, but found a channel to cross, and as they were unable to swim across in their condition, perished on the flats where they were found. THE INQURST. Yesterday Coroner Klippel, from this place, went to | ‘Waretown, found the bodies 'as above, but the boat, | supposed to contain the bodies of the boys, could not | be seen; she = have gone out at the inlet or may be | in a cove along the bay. He took charge of the bodies and waits to hear from their friends at Canarsie, L. i, | who have been telegraphed to. There was nothing found apon the bodies. It is thought the old gentie- man bad money, but it may have been left im the cabin of the boat. THE ADRIATIC TO BE SEIZED, News was received in this city yesterday from Liver- pool that a former mate of the lost packet ship Harvest Queen, belonging to this port, bad recognized the blocks found on board the White Star steamship Adriatic, of the White Star line, The mate in question - superintended the making of said blocks, and is said to be positive beyond a doubt as to their identity. The officer in question was sent over to England in com- ny with a son of Mr. Lamson, o! the firm of © H. larshall & Co., owners of the lost vessel. The said firm will libel the Adriatic upon ber arrival here, which is expected to take place to-morrow week, for ‘of $175,000.

Yesterday afternoon the steamer Wieland was re- ported in the offing, and when she had steamed up the bay and hove to opposite Quarantinea HeRatp reporter | boarded her and sought among the passengers in the } cabin a lady who has been brought into unpleasant | prominence on the other side of the water, and whose ! coming here was Gictated by a desire to escape scones | and associations which havo. been made exceedingly _ painfal to ber. hrs ig Mrs. Thomas or Taomassen, — Thomas, whose yore plo resulted so fatally both to the victims of explosion and the author of it. She had sailed from Hamburg, registering aM assumed name, and the reporter's salu- tation was the first inkling she bad of her identity being known. When the Heratp maa reached the deck of the Wielaud he was directed to the second cabin, where Mrs. Thomas was then suppin, On entering it he discovered a lady at a table, with a bevy of bright faced litle children gathere: around her, She had an attractive face, deep black eyes, and was clad ina plain dark dress, She was ev in talking to the children in a kind, motherly when the reporter approached her and stated the onject of his visit. by alook of surprise, not unmixed with pain, she said s— “I had hoped that my assuming a strange name would hide mo from a notoriety | am anxious to es- cape, This matier, as you know, is one which has bv melancholy associations for me, and it is one which I would gladly have taken trom my mind, I | have told my story again and again, and however will | ing I may be to impart information likely to be of in- Teas whic | will repeat terest to your readers, 1 shrink fro: causes me so much pain, At another whavever I know, but the presence children, who have been kept in Iguorince of st has occur red, would be suflicient to pr my saying: \ at ira.

Money on Call 4 and 5 Per Cent—Government Bonds Active—The Bank Statement— Investment Securities Firm. Wat Srreer, Saturpay, Feb. 5—6 P. M. Fora day or two back the air has been thick with rumors of wars betweon the chief magician and his familiars, who, andor the guise of brokers, have obeyed his behests at the Stock Exchange. To-day these rumors have assumed a definite form and shape, or at least this is the appearance, for it would be safe to assume that the whole business-is not an artfully con- cocted scheme to cover some contemplated movement. The story noised about this morning is that a rupture has occurred between Gould and his principal brokers, orn and Mills. ‘These latter geutiemen, 1 is stated, having comfortably feathered their nests with the down of Gould’s commissions, aud having grown a powerful set of wings, feel perfectly capable of tlying alone, and have, moreover, the disposition to do so. The chief magician, however, does not fancy any independence of action on the part of his slaves of the lamp, and claims to own them, body and breeches, Messrs. Osborn and Mills assumed the right to transact business for themselves or for other customers as they saw fit, and gave Mr, Gould to understand that while their services as brokers were at his command at the market price their liberty to act as they chose in other matters was not purchasable. So the king of the street was invited to step down and out, with a mild refer- ence to that locality which is not to be mentioned to “ears polite,” ‘This 1s the story which, in the absence ot any other scandal, was the topic of conversation to-day, It may be true or it may be simply a ‘‘plant’’ to cover up some contemplated plot in course of formation. One thing is certain, that a new set of brokers not previously em- ployed by Gould has made its appearance in the market with large orders. Inactivity has been the chief characteristic of to- day’s business, though prices were in the main better than recorded in yesterday's final sales, and closed with a fractional improvement. Pacific Mail and Western Union wore as lively as a death's head on a tombstone, andeven the scalpers found {t difficult to obtain a “caput mortuum" with hair enough on it to make it an object. It was otherwise, howevor, in respect to Lake Shore, | which showed up at one time as fresh asa filly ina paddock. After hanging at about the same price a good part of the day a suddem drive was made at the stock by awell known broker, who, from his inches, uld scarce ever be other than long of the market, and whose foot, at two the yard, 18 usualiy on his na- tive heath, It was remarked, however, that the raid was rather one of demonstration than of a desire to seil stock, and the effect seemed to be to break down the price without parting with many shares. There was something of a mystery about the process which was not satisfactorily cleared up, and opinious were divided as to whetber Gould or the sealskin coat party were the suggestors of the movement. In any eyent the success attained was of an exceed- ingly miid description, for the price remained very stubborn, and, on removal of pressure, quickly re- covered. It is probable that the ensuing. week will develop some new phase in Lake Shore, and if it should tura ont that Gould bas actually gone in fora bear campaiga there will arise a “circumstance of glorious war” thas. will make things lively im stock circles. Apart from the gossip we have spoken of and @ sharp rally in United States Express Company’s shares, the market may be quoted as devoid of special interest. 5 ‘THE SALES TO-DAY.
