10 THE COURTS. A Bitter Litigation Over the Distribution of a Millionnaire’s Estate. Important Order in the Bar- more Will Case. “RIVAL DRAMATIC AUTHORS IN COURT, Lively Work in the Habeas Cor- pus Line. The contest over the will of the late Alfred Barmore, who left an estate of some $1,500,000, but excluded as a Jegateo Mrs, Titus B. Eldridge, one ot bis daughters, is assuming an interesting phase, Following the rather astounding developments, charging fraud and perjury and subornation of perjury on the part of Mra El Gridge, an order was entered yesterday in the case by Surrogate Van Schaick, the eflect of which will doubt- Jess be to give the matter a thorough and rigid ventila- tion, The following is the order:— On motion of Alfred E, Mudge, proctor for Moses B, Maclay, proponent ot the allegeg last will and testament of Alfred Barmore, deceased, and on motion of 5. P. Nash and Ira Shater, of connsel, and on the Papers and proceedings in this matter and upon tte evidence = takev betore the — Surrogate vn the contest herein, and upon the affidavits of Rosa- mond Isley, Charles Burkwalter, Orin i.

PIQUE OR PIQUED. Mr, Augustin Daly, claiming to be the anthor and holder of the copyright of the drama “Pique,” re- cently obtained a temporary injunction restraining T. Aliston Brown from producing or publishing or selling the stage right of the drama entitled “Piqued,”’ An order | to show cause why the injunction should not be made permanent was argucd at some length yesterday be- fore Judge Curt of the Superior Court. It is claimed by Mr. Daly sfat “Piqued” is an infringement of his at it is identical with “Piqne,’’ and that jon would mislead the public and entail h pecuniary loss. He therefore asked not only Action against producing the play, to him of all copies of the rival drama, the pay- hi of ali moneys realized upon the sale of the stage ight, and $1,000 indemnity as damages, The answer rets up that “Piqued”’ is a dramatization of the Eng- Ush novel “Her Lord and Master,” published long be- fore the production of “Pique,” ‘and that Mr. Brown claims that the dramatization is his own, and that the Injanction asked for should not be granted. bearing quite an extended argun took tho papers, reserving his dec: HABEAS CORPUS PROCEEDINGS. Most of yesterday in Supreme Court, Chambers, Judge Donohue being on the ‘bench, was consumed in “<r ng arguments in habeas corpus cases, The first \was that of Michael Rossa, held by Police Justice sby in $1,000 bail to keep the peace, the charge gainst him being assaalt and battery, that this was not a proper punishment for this offence, and the Judge ordered his re-trial The next case was that of Eugene Bonner and John Higgins, held by a po- lice magistrate for disorderly conduct. It being shown to the satisfaction of the Judge that upon the evidence adduced they had been improperly held, he ordered their discharge. Tne last case presented more points ol interest, Sometime since Peter Moller was accused bf having committed a bursary in New Jersey, and not caring to run tbe risk of ey justice, Red to this ct where he was shortly after arrested o1 Under habeas roceedings he was discharged by Judge Dono- Hardly had be been restored to liberty when he rearrested on « requisition of the Governor of w Jersey, when another writ of babeas corpus was pbtained, under which Judge Donohue refusea to dis- tharge bim. Armed with another writ of habeas rorpus he again sought release [rom custody; but aft abrief hearing be was remanded to the City Prison, with the understanding that the matter should be fully argued to-morrow. THIRD AVENUE BANK CASE. On Friday last Mr, Benjamin A. McDonald had an Interview with Judge Duffy, and he then expressed his tention to apply on the following day for orders of arrest against two of the lately released Third Avenue Bank officials, understood to be Met Green and Darling.

On March 6 a shabby looking fellow, who gave his name as John B. Morrison, of No. 68 Oliver street, called at the office of Alfred Loshe, of No. 537 Pearl | street, and offered for sale certain tickets which on | their face were oach ‘Good for one meal at St. Paul’s | Guild Restaurant,” alleging at the time that the pro- | to be devoted to charitable pur- | poses. On tho strength of these representationsthe complainant purchased a doliar’s worth of the tiekets, | but subsequently learned that on February 21 the Guild | had anounced, through the newspapers: that any | the | vs. Lyons, —Objections | | tickets sold after that date would be worthless. | accused said that be gold the tickets for a party named | Pierce, and that he received in payment thirty-five | cents and two drinks, He was held in $500 to answer. | | George W. Pierce, the lato superintendent of the | | cooking department of tho Guild's restaurant, was | arrested yesterday and locked up on acomplaint of | | purloiming tickets for meals and giving them to per- sons tosell, Morrison was one of his agents, | ] STEALING ENGRAVING PLATES. | theodore M. Berge, of No 43 John street, charged | Robert Hodgson, of No, 84 Water street, with having in his possession eight sets of metal engraving plates valned in all at $200 which were stolen trom complain- | ant’s place of business. Hodgson was put under $1,000 | bail. | ON HI6 WAY BACK TO SING SING. Robert Patterson, who gives his addross as No. 46 Thomas street, was locked up in the Tombs yesterday | on suspicion of having broken into a warehouse at No. | 825 Greenwich street, on Friday night, and stealing a | few boxes of cigars. He was arrested on information | given by E, Byrne, of No. 362 Washington street, who alleges that Patterson told him that the place was to be broken into. Patterson has been out of Sing Sing only two months, AN UNGRATEFUL IMMIGRANT, Thomas McGuire, a young immigrant who arrived | here about ten days ago, in a destitute condition, found & friend in Michael Mitohell, keeper of a saloon at No. 10 West stroet. Yesterday Mitchell left nim in chargo | of the saloon, and the ungrateful youth took $50 out of | the money ‘drawer, Judge Flammor held him to answer. WASHINGTON PLACE POLICE COURT. Before Judge Kilbreth, FORGERY. A young man, giving his name as Michael Hartney, residing in King strect, was brought before Judge Kil- breth by Detectives Titus and Thompson, of the Central Office, charged with forgery and obtaining money by | false pretences. The evidence showed that on March 8 Hartney bought $81 97 worth of cigars from Gerard | | & Carpenter, of No. 15 Beaver street, and gave in) payment a check for $347 on tho Market National Bank, purporting to be signed by Wiitiams & Potter, of No. 229 Front street, and bav- ing on its face the'certified stamp of the bank, signed | | by V. L. Johnson. He asked for a check for tho | bitance of the amount, which was given to him, | Subsequently it was ascertained that the check was a | forgery, and the detectives were notified, After a few | days? “Search ho was arrested by the officers. Mr. Gerard swore to the sale of the cigars and receiving the check. Mr. Frank Sittig, of the firm of Wilhams & Potter, swore that the check was a forgery, and Mr. Baylis, President of the Market Bank, swore that the | certification was false, and that there was no tellor amed Johnson 1m the employ of the bank. ‘The prisoner was also charged with having, on tho 9th inst, purchased $116.80 worth of hams from | Alonzo E: Austin, of No. 202 Chambers street, and | tendering in payment therefor a check for $220 on the Importers and Traders’ National Bank, signed by Williams & Potter. In this case he also received a check for the balance, and it was subsequently ascer- tained that the check he gave was a forgery. The | prisoner was held in $10,000 to answer. FIFTY-SEVENTH STREET COURT. Before Judge Dufly. CHARGED WITH STEALING A_DIAMOND, A colored man, named Benjamin Johnson, was ac- cused of stealing diamond ring, valued at $2,000, from his employer, Dr. Matthew Fulgraff, of No, 53 Lexing- ton avenue, Yesterday morning the Doctor loft his private room for a moment, and when he returned no missed the ring from the table on which he had placed | it. The accused being the only person who access | to the room in his absence he naturally suspected bim and caused his arrest. ‘The ring was not found upon | him. The only person besites the Doctor himself and | | Johnson who had been in the room during the moi | ing was a telegraph messenger, but he could not have | | taken the ring, for the Doctor was positive it was on | the table when he left the room. The accused was re- manded. i PEANUTS AND TOBACCO. A REPLY FROM JOHN DECENCY. To tne Eptror ov tne Heratp:— 1 beg to acknowledge the receipt of my fair and un- fair correspondents’ letters through the Heratp. True intelligence forbids answering the eruptions of phos- | phorus tainted brains; but permit me to submit re- | epecttully for their consideration the following ques | tions:—Did George Washington eat peanuts? If not, | | state the reason? Did he ever step on the toes of his | neighbor and walk off, without offering an apology, | with the same nonchalance and the haughty air ota | “Red Cloud” or “Black Bear?” New Yorn, March 11, 1876, A PEANUT LUNCH ROUTE, To rue Epiron or the Hexary:— “Tam much obhged to John Decency for suggesting to | | meaproper place to cat peanuts, asl have to ride‘! about forty minutes every day, I shall take great pleas. | ure hereafter in occupying that time forapeanut lunch, | T like both the taste ana smell of peanuts, and while [ | | satisfy the inner mau I will also perfume the alr around | | me, which will counteract the bad odor of whiskey, | | poor gin and tobacco, Yours, Ne | Brooxiyy, March 11, 1876, 1 | | Respecttully, JOHN DECENCY.

The steeplechaser Mare Antoine died from the effects of an accident on February 24, Great dissatisfaction has beeu expressed at the some- what extraordipary decision of the Committee of the Salon des Courses in annulling the bets made about Niche, who ran secona in the Prix Cercic Massena at Nice, It will be remembered that the stewards of the last Nice meeting called the jockey (Mitchell) to account for his riding in the race, and he, with the utmost frankness, admitted that he had simply ridden to orders; wheroupon the owner of the mare (M. Boc- quet) was disqualified from ever entering or running a horse at avy meeting at Nico, and the jockey was Gned 500f, and suspended from riding at Nice during 1874, which Was virtually a suspension of one day. The matter was remitted to the Societe des Steeple Chases, which isa body corresponding to the Grand National Hunt Committee, who, in confirming the decision of the stew- | ards of tie Nice Meeting, disqualified the owner of the mare from ever running or entering a horse where their | rules are in force, and extended the punishment of the Jockey by suspending him from riding for one year. Not one Word of disqualification of the mare appears in the judgment, and before even the verdict of the higher tribunal was given the Committee of thé Salon | des Courses had decided the anomalous question of the els, but we are informed that the decision arrived at h regard to the bets will be recousidered.—The Sportsman, Feb. 26. Donald, the winner of the Waterloo Cup, bas been sold tor £300. The defeated Honeymoon fetched £500, The Duke of Hamuton tas taken to coursing, and that but tor his representative, Huron, slipping as he Was nboutto polish off his. horse, bis Grace would have been credited with the Waterloo Cup at the first time of asking. Prince Charlie has a brother, who, should he be all right-at three months old, will be worth 1.000 guincas or more. The French government have prohibited backing a horse for a place, a8 it is considered gambling. The Malta winter meeting has come off at iast. Im- plicit Confidence, the property of Captain Lancey, ran three times in one afternoon, and won twice during the two days, This horse has now won twenty-two races. The ambition of his owner is to ride horses at exercise on Newmarket Heath, and he once said that he would give three months? pay to have a mount on Prince Charlie, One of the” races at Malta was for horses nominated by ladies. Tnis was won by Jock, ridden by a sailor. ‘The prize was a bracelet. At the Cairo races the horses trained by James Man- ning won £1,000 in stakes, ‘A purse of gold bas been presented to Joseph H. Sad- ler by some adinirers at Newcastic. In acknowledging | receipt of the gift Sadler stated that he was going to visit Amorica in order to row for the championship of | the world. Boyd, at the same time, declared his inten- tion of forming a Tyneside tour to row the St. John (N. B.) crew for the championship, alter which the four would take part in the various regattas in the United States. The champion bicyelist of England, D. Stanton, raced iy, muiles against four trotte the Agricul: tural Hall, Islington, on the 2ist ult. He won easily in Sh, Sm, 55s, PIGEON SHOOTING AT MONACO. The good wishes that were so plentifully offered to Captain Fane on his first important success this year have proved not to be but mere yain words, as his good fortune and remarkably fine shooting have en- abled him to bea second time successful, having se- cured to-day (February 18) the “Prix Gail,” thus named aiter Sir W. Call, who, threo years ago was heralded as the winner of the Grand Prix. Every weekly prize bears the namo of the flve winners, whose feats caunot easily be forgotten, as they are now re- corded on marble tablets, helping %o decorate the tri- bunes erected on the shooting ground. Captain Fane, who is one ofthe crack “knights of the trigger,” shot to-day with a tral tire breech-loader, which was given as a@ prize for the Champion Stakes last year at the Cercle des Patineurs in Faris by the world-renowned iirm of Purdey, and won by to-day’s winner. Mr. Grimble, whose reputation as a good shot is so well kuown, has not been very fortunate here this year, and by missing his ninth bird only secured second money. “Shuoung has been very brisk all the week; last’ Wednesday the Prince Awadeo and a party of friends were busy all the afternoon bring at the wily dove. Two prizes were offered by His Highness, and Count Carpenetto secured them both after some very fair shooting, On Saturday a purty of tour—sir F, ustone, Bart, the Duke of Montrose, Colonel Mackenzie Fraser and Mr, H. Wa- gatha—made some very good scores. The shuoting of these four gentlemen was particularly good, as the birds were remarkably swiit, and in inany instances allowed no time lor the use of the second barrel, WESTON’S THIRD WALK, On Tuesday night, at five minutes past cight o'clock, Weston commenced his task of walking 275 miles in seventy -ive consecutive hours at the Agricultural Hall, London, bis opponent being Charles Rowell, champion sculler of the Isis and Cam, who had to make the best of his way. At the end of twenty-four hours Weston had done 104 miles. 134 laps less 26 yards, and Rowell 94 miles 6 laps and 25 yards, and at a quarter to twelve o’clock on Wednesday night the American had covered 118 miles 6 laps and 5 yards Weston continued throughout Thursday evening, and shortly before one o'clock yesterday (Friday) morning had walked v6 and Rowell 142 miles, when both went to their rooms for a long rest. Continuing his jour- ney, Weston had, at 12h. 37m, 13s, A. M. yesterday (Friday), accomplished 195 miles, and, alteR a rest of 2h, 46m, 5s., the second hundred was completed at 4h. dim, 47s, A short rest of a quarter of un hour took place in the 216th mile at 8b, 37m. 168, With this exception he continued walking wou the tinish, Row- cll, after a rest of L1h.$m. 0s., returned, but after do- 2m. again retired, though he red at twenty-five minutes to five o'clock, At three minutes past five o’ciock Weston had concluded 250 miles, and as he had then twenty-tive miles left, with six hours and two minutes remaining of timo, it was evident 1 would be aciose thing. Indeed, the in- torest taken in the American’s faitilment of bis) under- taking Was cleary evinced vy the largest numver of Spectators he has yet seen in’ the hail, the atiendance numbering fully 10,000, At Tb. 0m. 608. the 260th mile was safely accomplished, and at 9h. 60m. 108. the 270th” He thus had done five miles in an hour and a quarter, and he kept time well 1m hand, tin- ishing the 2ilstmile at 10h. 4 2d av lon. Wm, 158, the 273d at 10b, 33m. 44s. the 274th at Lob. 4m. 48, and, amid the greatest euthusiasm, the 275 miles were concluded at 11h, 1m, 21s, thus winning by 3 From the appended table it will be seon that Weston waiked yesterday, after having done 215 miles, from eight minutes to eight o'clock A M. unul five minutes performance, and adding to the proof already given of ‘he marvell amine of the pedestrian, Rowell stuck to his work gamely until the end, and he not only deserves credit tor adhering faltufully to his task, but 1s to be congratulated on having done as mach as 176 miles in seventy-five hours at such a short notice. Below will be found a tabie showing Weston’s timesat every filth mile ot his je The following announcement we with regard ne | | | | | | | Same builder is on the stocks, and will be ready in. #bout ten or twelve days. The race will probably boy rowed in her, as the first built boat, though she will do very well to practice in, does nat give entire satisiue- tion in consequence of the way im which she coeks her nose up, and seems to sink in the waist at the con- clusion of each stroke. ‘The coaching is takea in band by Sherwood, of Christ Church, who did tue principal part of the tuition last year, during wich time the crew acquired that evenuess of work that was so characteristic when they appeared at Putuey. CAMURIDGR. After an appearance and acain a disappearance, Rhodes seems to have actually taken up his quar- ters in the Cambridge crew. He 16 doubtless o most valuable acquisition wherever he rows, but we cannot but wonder that be is pot placed at stroke. At any time he would be a good stroke, and at this mo- ment, when the want of a lively stroke is one of the chiet shortcomings of the crew, it was more than ever important that he should go into his old place, When he was absent on Monday « right step was taken in filling bis post at No. 7 with the only otber man | in the ¢rew who hos a lively recovery and | good catch—viz,, Brancker. ‘It would have ‘n far better for the style of other men if | Brancker bad been filling this place all the time daring Rhodes’ absence, It 1s true that he 38 full light for so heavy u post in severe work, but £0 long as the stroke wi low this would not matter, and the style would have had its effect for good upon the men bebind. The men rowed together, but the old faults which we ha' ‘on former occasions alluded to sull re in toa it extent, The crew seem now to have lett off gig-eight practice, and to have taken permanently to light boats. ‘This may lighten the deadness of the rowing, so far as grip of the first part of the stroke is concerned, but the tluggishness of the recovery is, we fear, only too likely to remain substantially the same, unless some radical change sball be made in the constitution of the | crew. From all that we hear, theres much dissatis- fuction felt in Cambridge among unprejudiced judges of rowing as to the manner iv which the crew is made up, and We cannot but feel that there 1s too much ground for these impressions. Time 1s rapidiy passing, and though there is stiil time to make up the crew prop- | eriy—to turn out the useless men and to practice the Tight ones—there will not always be time to repent, aud those in charge may hereafter awake to a sense of their mistakes when it will be too late to mend. The special correspondent ot Hell's Life, same date, says:—* * * In other words, the entire cight must row and swing as one man. ‘That such is the case with the two crews, or either of them, now practising on the Isis and the Cam, is an assertion | am not yet | prepared to make, although, at samo time, | am quite ready to admit that the Oxlord crew already fultil these qualifications in a mach greater degree thai, ordinarily speaking, crews do with the small amount of practice they have bad. And presuming that they will con- tinue to improve in the same ratio as they have pro- gressed during the past month, there can be but little doubt that on their arrival at Putney they will, so to speak, almost, if not entirely, entitle themselves to be considered a’ perfect crow in the true sense of the word, Looking at their rowing in a col- lective sense, they show, beyond doubt, that what- ever may be Said ‘as regards individuals, as a whole they possess the correct idea and principle of rowing. ‘Their efforts are mainly, if not solely, devoted to mas- toring the two great principles of ail—namoly, ‘catch | at the beginning” and “recovery”—and, in these two particulars, lies the difference between the rowing as done on the Isis and that done on the Cam at the pros- ent moment, To say that Cambridge are rowing 08 Urely on wrong principles would be incorrect, Their ideas are right, but the difficulty consists in their ap- parent inability to put those ideas into practice. Auy oue who has watched the practice at Cambridge, if only for a short time, must have been struck by the very great oxertione Mr. James Close bas put forth in his ‘ors to get “cateh”? aud ‘tinish,” and those on- ors have by no means gone unrewarded. Tue im- provement as regards “catch”? has beeu very marked during the last six or seven day's; a fortnight ago there | was none Whatever—now it 18 manilest all through the boat at every stroke, although, of course, far from perfect, In regard to the second essential Oxford aro, undoubtedly, tar in advance of their The Cambridge finish is, as it has been their practice, their principal, and, lam vi inclined to think, their only befe noir. Every man in the boat rows his stroke well out without exception; but then they stop, and ia the recovery of thoir bands they are much slower than bas been the case with Cambridge oarsmen tor some years, The men, one and all, seem almost totally unable to get their hands off their chests before moving their bodies torward, and as a natural consequence there is a considerable deadness about the go of their boat, which must at once be apparent even to the uninitiated, Since they have taken to the light boat a slight improvement has bech maniiest in this respect, which | am told, on very good authority, increases daily. Last your, it will be remembered, Cambridge, when on tho Thames, showed plenty of “catch,” with a tolerably gvod finish, their weakness consisting in want ot stainina and a teudency on the part of several men in the boat not to work all through the stroke. This year there is even now plenty of genuine hard work done, and is being accomplished more and more in the right place daily, and if the men would only get their hands sharp away atthe finish there is very little doubt that they would get a large umount of pace on their Vout and turn ont avery iair crew. During the week now drawing lo a close very easy work has been done ‘on the Cam, owing to one of the crew being engaged im the Senate House with some work of an arduous und trying nature, but in the course of a very few days training will commence, hard work and long runs will be the order of the day, and with more than tive weeks before then: tue Cambridge crew may, and T shall be much surprised if they do not, improve both in form and pace most rapidly. ‘The continued presence ot Rhodes in the bout is vow a foregone conclusion; throughout the past week he has, with the exception of one day, beea at his post every atternoon, but he is terribly out of condition, and will require a large amount of hard work, spread over many days, and perhaps a few weeks, before he ts really up to form. ‘The tollowing are the latest weights of the crew:— OXFORD, Lbs, Bow—W.

Upon communicating with Mr, | H. 5.
