hy ~ THE COURTS. Refusal to Dismiss Complaint in the Black Friday Suit. RIGHTS OF MORTGAGE ASSIGNEES. How’ Aldermen Formerly Made Money. MYSTERIOUS VOTES EXPLAINED. The trial of tho suit of Do Witt C. Taylor against Jay Gould and others, popularly known as the Black Friday suit, was resumed yesterday before Judge Barrett, of the Supremo Court, Thero was the asual large crowd, but the proceedings were not as interesting as at some Of the previous sessions of the Court, Immediately upon the oponing of thegCourt Judge Barrett rendered a decision upon the motion made on Friday last to dismiss tho complaint, Asto the first objection, as to the revocation of the authority given by Fisk to Speyers to buy gold, Speyers testified that he thought Fisk was trying to shilt the responsibility on to bis shoulders, and Judge Barrett holds that the revoca- von was not direct and decisive, as it ought to be where the rights of third parties are Mevolved, and that the point must go to the jury. Regarding tho second objection, as to whether there was any contract, there having been no memorandum signed or existing between tho parties prior to communication and no mutuality of obligation, Judge Barrett held that it was not neces- Bary to have routuality of obligation. It wasasufM- cient contract at common Jaw if the memorandum was executed at any time prior to communication, and in- decd the memorandum of contract was merely evi- dence of contract and not the contract itself. The ob- jection was therefore untenable. The question to le considered was whether Speyers had exceeded his au- tnority as agent. He held on this point that he would admit all the evidence which the plaintiff could offer to show whether this were truc or not; that thus far there had been no proof showing that Speyers did not act according to the usual custom of the Gold Ex- change in buying the gold. Judge Barrett thought that the circumstances determined the agency; he reiused to dismiss the complaint. De Witt C. Taylor again occupied the chair, and was asked about this memorandum, Mr. Beach objected, and cited authority to show that it was not admissible unless evidence was given to peo that Mr. Speyers signed the memorandum him- se Mr. Shearman contended that plaintiff could not dele- gate his clerk authority to sign the manuscript. Judge Barrett—There was nothing to think about in the matter, except that as a man of honor he was bound to sign the document, which was legal evidence of the verbal contract he had made. (Laugbter.) Mr. Taylor was allowed to testify, under exception by defence, as to the contents of the memorandum of urchase delivered to him by Speyors’ ‘young man” lepry, between three and: hall-past three P. M. on Black Friday, and which document is lost. 1t ran sub- Stantially:—"Bought $200,000 gold from D. W. M. C. Tayloe at 160 regular,” and then followed :—“For James: Fisk, Jr.,”” certainly, and witness believes, also, ‘and associates,”’ and signed ‘Albert Speyers.”” Horsham T, H. Brouers testified that he now resides in Georgia, but in 1869 was in tho office of Heath & Co., Broad street, and his desk was in the inner office; just iueide that was the still moro private office; on he morning of Black Friday he saw Mr, Allen, gold broker, in the private office where Fisk and Gould were during tho foronoon; as Allen came out he asked Charley Quincey whether it was all right; the door of the private office was open; Quincey was go- ing in as Allen was coming out; Fisk was inside, but witness cou!d not see him at the time. Several witnesses were called, but none answering to his name, the Court adjourned until the usual bour ‘this morning. A REAL ESTATE MORTGAGE. A decision was rendered yesterday by Judge Larre- more inthe case of the Real Estate Trust Company against Louis B. Racder and another, tried before him | wome timo ago inthe Supreme Court, Special Term. The defendant, in 1872, employed a broker named Al- Jen to negotiate a loan upon certain real estate in this city, and at the letter’s suggestion, defendant and wife did execute a bond and mortgage upon said premises to Andreas B. Howe for $20,000, payable in ten years, ‘with mtorest. The mortgage was acknowledged on the 4th and recorded on the 6th of June, 1872, but no con- sideration passed from Howe to defendant upon its de- livery, Howe subsequently consummated a gale of the ‘gecurittes to the Real Estate Trust Company, by an as- signment, for $18,000, which sum was aid, ‘and the usual mortgager’s certificate as to validity, &c., was iven to plaintl, Upon a suit for joreclosure the de- fence of usury was setup. that, although the mortgage had no Iegat_ tncoption os to Howe, yet in the hands of the plaintiff it ts « valid lien to the ‘extent of the consideration advanced upon them; that plaintif bad no knowledge of the original transaction between Howe and defendant, and that, having acquired a valid title to the bond and mortgage, no subsequent usurious agreement could impair the original obligation, He overrules.the delence of usury, and gives judgment for plaintiff tor $17,000 and interest ‘and for @ loreciosure and sale. HACKLEY’S. STREET CLEANING. The Hackley streot cleaning contract has given rise id the case presents some tract, which was made in February, 1861, Hackley was to be paid by tho city $279,000 a year, for five years, for cleaning the public streets and avenues, Before the time expired the contract was taken from his bands, which was followed by a suit brought against the city for no/-lulfilment of contract. The suit wow for a ba'ance then due on the contract $100, damages. This suit was assigned to Mr. H. Adams, who in turn assigned it to Charles Devlin, who ts sul rosecuting the action. A motion was recently made Botece Judge Van Brunt, in the Special Term of the Court of Common Picas, to take the caso from a referee and have the question of fraud raised and submitted to ajury. Judge Van Brunt gave his decision yesterday, nying this motion. The alleged fraad upon which it sought to vitiate the contract is bribing the Board of Alaermen to induce the Board to give the contract to Mr. Hackley, It was charged that $50,000 were put within convenient reach of certain members of the Board who bappened to possoss an ‘itching palm,’” and that in this way the requisite number of votes were obtained to secure Mr. Hackley’s contract. The litiga-. ston promises to be a iong-lived one. MANDAMUSING THE COUNTY CLERK. Mr. Bernard S. Levy still insists on his right, a right conceded to every citizen, to copy the docket of judgments in the County Clerk's office. Having becn Probibited by the County Clerk from copying the judgment docket from May 1, 1866, to May 1, 1! Weieen he desires: in order 19 complete ‘a Book’ he 1b preparing for publication, he applied, through his counsel, Mr. Montague L. Marks, for a peremptory mandamus against the County Clerk directing free ac- cess to the docket of judgments in question. After uite an extended argument yesterday before Judge iy, in Supreme Court, Chambers, Mr. Frederick A. Us cage J for Mr. Walsh, the County Clerk, Judge Brady took the papers for examination, although intimating that in bis opinion the prayer tur a man- damus was not as specific as it should be, although Mr. Marks clatmned that st was as plain and icular as to torering the points intended as the ish language could make it.

An important conference was held at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday, on the request of Mr. Beers and the Council of Political Reform, with the view of in- fluencing legislation at Albany toward stopping all stone bulkhead work on the docks, and the substitu. tion of first class crib bulkheads, There were present about twenty gentlemen, inclad- ing President Salem H, Wales ani Commissioner Dimock, of the Dock pce gba appomted Chairman, and Mr. Beers, of the Counet! of Political Reform, was elected Sec r. # the Council of Political Re- Teport, herotofore published, gauce in the construction of id severely criticising the stove Gilders! 4, 0m the conclusion of the reading, addressed Conference, declaring that it was by the merest accident that he had leat the Conference, although he had observed since he entered the room evidence that tho movement had been organized tor | some time, and this inquiry was evidently intended to | be mercly ex parte. He declared that the report just read by Mr. Potter was never ‘tu. would prove by the records of the Dock Separt. | ment and the sworn affidavits of the Chie! Engineer | that mene of the statements were ridiculous bunders, The receipts of the department were to-day, for the Grattime in its history, penvitures; and, while he an: tes were | rea‘ly to answer ali questions, he imvited the gentie- | men present toexamine the records, which none of | the gentlemen representing the Council of Political | Reform bad done. A motion to adjourn the conference antil Monday next, and that, in the meantime, tbe report jast read be referred to the Dock Commissioners to answer in writing, Was carried, SINKING FUND COMMISSION, A meeting of Commissioners of the Sinking Fund was held in the Mayor's office yesterday, Comptroller Green, Mayor Wickham, Recorder Hackett and City | Chamberlain Tappan were present.

ANDREAS FUCHS TRIED FOB THE BUTCHEBY OF HIS SHOPMATE—VEBDICT OF MURDER I ‘THE FIRST DEGREE. Andreas Fuchs, the murderer of William W. Sim- mons, was brought betore the Kings County Court of Oyer ana Terminer at half-past ten o’clock yesterday morning. Judge Pratt presided, with Justices of Ses_ | gions McKibben and Walfort, The court room was | crowded to excess during the day, and many persons were unable to gain admission. Conspicuous among the crowd wai Mra. Fuchs, wife of the prisoner, who Tepeatedly shed tears during the proceedings. Fuchs | also wept from time to time, Mr. John A. Taylor, counsel for defence, in summing up, eald:—If the jury believed the prisoner to bea | Dloody butcher he would not expect that the man should escape the penalty of the law. What was asked was a fair, unbiased aod rational judgment, from which tho pressure uf public sentiment shall be removed. He ‘would ask the Court to charge the jury to exclude en- tirely all the horrid details of the butchery of the body from their consideration of the case, The counselthen Proceeded to cite numerous authorities as to what the law defined as murder in the first and second degrees. It the killing was done on finding the deceased 1m criminal intercourse with his wife the prisoner was justifiable in killing Simmons. No matter what the onaracter ofthe wife was she is protected by the law of the land against violation. If she was insensible from liquor it was rape, and Fuchs was justifiabie. The fellow workmen of Fuchs had given him a very good character. He was not in the habit of passing the evenings in lager beer saloons, but when not earning bread for bis wife and her child was at home with them. The wife and the children of William Simmons were long widowed and orphans before this act of the prisoner, for the home is blighted and desolat it is possible to make it when the busband and the fa: bandors it in pursuit of an alien love, Tho jury should see to the preservation of the institution of home, that when the libertine sball cross its theshold it shall be to walk to bis death. Having spoken for %wo hours and five minutes counsel concluded, and at one o'clock the Court took & recess. At half- Attorney He sai would bo a crime for the jury to seek to sercen bim. He had geet on the opening of the cage that t! ! jence adduced might be such xs to warrant him in osking for a verdict of murder in the second degree, but now he was impeiled, upon the testimony, to ask a verdict of murder in the first degree. The District Attorney reviewed in detail the testi- mony of Fuchs, end declared it ridiculous and absurd in many particulars. During tho recital the prisoner, looking round, caught his wife’s gaze, and rising suddenly in his seat, ex- claimed, “Om, MY wirg!’? An officer who sat by bie side pulled him back into his cha! id Fuchs taking out his handkerchief wept for several mi! In conciud speec! rubmitted that as amatter of accord wn statement, tho uct of killi fag such astocall for their verdict of murder in tl degree. (Applause.) Judge Pratt defined the several cegrees of murder and manslaughter, and dwelt impartially upon the evi- dence, It had been suggested that for a time the pris- over was mentally irresponsible. Of course it ts essen- tial that the person punished ander tho law should be capable of distinguishing rignt from wrong. The Court did not understand that the defence was insanity in this case, nor that the prisoner's mind was diseased, The law does not recognize a distinction of right {rom wrong and yet the inebility to con- trol the impulse. ‘he insanity theory could not be entertained unless the testimony su proved it to be. No prejudice against Simmons should interfere with them in the verdict. Hada rape been discovered in the case, then the killing would be justifiable; but they must be satisfied upon the evidence on that point. Justifiable homicide must be determined on tho testi- mony a8 weighed in the judgment of the jury in this | case, As to the claim that the prisoner was acting under a great provocation and that it was therolore only manslaughter, the fact that he saw this man and his wite in the act of adultery when he killed Simmons does not reduce the killing to manslaughter. If he had the Intent to kill bim, it was murder, Ii he struck Simmons on the instant without premeditation, it is murder in the second degree. If the blow was struck in the heat of passion and without intent to xill, then it is manslaughter in the third degrce. The real question to determined was | whether tho prisoner had the deliberate intent in his mind to take life when he struck the blow. Did he form the idem ponder and reason upon u, beiore he committed theact? The jury should weigh the influ- ence the prisoner bad in making his statement, and to determine the evidence on their reason with regard to the facts. At twenty minutes past three the Mberate upon their verdict, and 1) Pp again wept and hung bis head, was led the corner of the court room. THE JURY OUT. The iuterval from the time the jury went out tilt! they returned was two hours and forty minutes, About five minutes before six o'clock the | jutymen, headed by Mr. John Johnson, a fine, stero- | jooking, gtay-bearde¢ man, about sixty years of ago, entered and filed 1. their seats. They looked pale and serious, one the Court reassembled, and District jury retired to de- isoner, who aseat in rr to THR vERvicr “ourtY!"" Mr. Law, Clerk of the Court, with a voice trembling with emotion, said:—“Tho jury will please rise aud answer to their namos as they are caliod.”” Each juror { responded mu low tone, The prisoner was then told | to rise, which he did, (ages | “What is your verdict, gentlemen?” inquired the Clerk, in a tone almost inaudibie. ‘The foreman of the jury answored:— “We ffud the prisoner guilty of murder in the first | degree’ “So say you all?’’ i “430 say we all,” was the response. ‘The Court directed that the jury should be polled. “Ig the verdict as recorded your verdict ?”’ asked the | Clerk, and each juror replied in th name was calied and the question put. One of the jurymen shed tears during the solemn sone. Counsellor Kinghorn then moved that sentence be deierred and the prisoner remanded toenable the de- fence to prepare papers which they deemed necessary in bebaif of their chent District Attorney Britton said there was nothing to ‘be accomplished by such a proceeding. The sentence could be imposed by the Court, and still the counsel would have ample time to take bh action as they might deem necessary. ‘Alter some farther argument, Judge Pratt remanded the condemned man to jail till ten o’clock this fore- noon, when the District Attorney will move for sen- tence. The inanacies were placed on the wrists of the wretched map, and he was removed to Raymond Strect Jail, followed by a great mob of men and boys, ROW THE JURY BTOO! After the jury had been discharged with the thanks of the Court the Heratp reporter had # conversation | with one of their number, who said the reason of the delay was that cne juror was conscientio opposed | to capital punishment, When they took the frst bal- | lot it jury room the vote stood as tollows:—For marder in tho Orst degree, 6; for muraer in the sece | ond degree, 5; for manslaughter in the third degree, 1. | After that vote the second degree jurors went over to first, and as soon as the scruples of the rt juror had been ove they were a unit | for the extreme penalty of the in the case, THE GAS QUESTION. Mrmative, as KEROSENE OIL COMING INTO GENERAL UsE-- A NOVEL AND CHEAP METHOD OF MAKING GAS FROM OIL. A few weeks ago the several gas companies of New | York affected to care little or nothing for the move- | ment then being inaugurated by shopkeepers and others against the alleged extortions practised and overcharges made by the companies, but to-day they sing a very diffefent tune, The air of indifference | then assumed by the gas manufacturers has given | place to one of extreme solicttude, and, as a natural sequence, tho unhappy consumer who goes to the office to complain of overcharges, or many of | the other acts of injustice alleged against the company, is received with the utmost urbanity and courtesy, and has is grievance promptly investigated ana sometimes redressed. The | companies wouid not believe any considerable nutober | of their customers would abandon the use of gas and | putt they have lived to see the folly of that belief. Un Broadway and Sixth avenuo gas is still almost | universally used, but on Third, First, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth Hudson, Grand and | treets, the kerosene lamp has made & very serious inroad upon the gas.

Three-quarters of a mile, | Maidens, One mile and an eighth, as the price of gas is hold at the present rate, The anticipations of an advance in the rate of insurance on property where oil superseded gas have not been realized, The truth o! matier 18 that the danzer of fire is but very little, if in- at all, increasea by consumption of kerosene, le of lamp very generally 1n use and the method adopted for using it being such as to render the bev of explosion and consequent couflagration qui 1c. The most serious and formidable rival the gas co panies are cailed upon to compete with, however, is a comparatively new process of muking gas {rom oil, whereby a better liluminating ageut then the ordinary | gas furnished by the city companies 18 produced at less than one-fiith the expense, At No. 41 | Vesey streets =one of those on chines for factories 1s vow in operation and has been thoroughly examined and tested by bi dreds of interested parties, and/thus far has the most complete satisfaction. Marvellous things are | claimed for this machine, and iit does all it 1s said | to do there will ere long ‘be a very radical change in the matter of gas bills in New York. Jo the basement of the Llishmet above mentioned 4s manufactured all the gas used in the building, aod certainly nothing could be moro simple than the method of 1t8 production, On a shelf in the back area is | placed a two galion can of ordinary kerosene oll. From. this can rans a balf inch iron pipe to a cast iron re- tort placed inside of what appears to be an ordinary bulged stove, Tne ofl rans through this pipe, and is converted into gas the moment it enters the retort, which ts constantly kept at a red heat. From this retort the gas passes through a pipe leading to a small tank of water (about ten gallons) where it is filtered and then goes off into the receiver and 1s ready for use. In making gas from coal it 1s necessary to filter it through lime and water for the purpose of cleansing it of the sulphur, ammonia and carbonic acid with which it is impregnated. None of these ingre- dients are found in gas made from kerosene oil, and therofore pure cold water is the only cleansing medium m sary. Theretortin which the gas is generated is a novel but poriectly simple piece of mechanism. cons ot two tron castings, is about twonty inches im diameter and has a holding capacity of gallous. ‘The lower casting is some- what larger tuan the upper, which fits on, and in it is @& grooved joint which is filled with lead. This lead is, of course, in a molten state during the process of manufacturing the gas, and thus forms @ perfectly air-tight joint. By this method tho expancion and contraction to which cast iron is sub- ject when affected by heat or cold 18 provided tor aud | ‘all danger of cracking or breaking removed, The gasholder or storage tank at this place has a capacity of 200 cubic fect, which amount of gas is mude trom two gallons of oil, It 1s claimed that 200 foes of this gas is equal to 1,000 feet of coal gas, The oil costs tweive and a haif cents a gallon, and ten cents worth of coal makes suffiiciont heat to convert it into gas, The gas produced is pure carburetied hydrogen and consequently itis only necessary to use burners cun- ‘sSuming one cubic foot per hour to obtain a hazht quite as powerlul as that made by a five-toot burner through which flows the ordinary coal gas. In the establish- mon: 1p question there ure seventy-five burners of one foot capacity each, and the expense of lighting tho . is now reduced to between $7 and §10 per month, ‘ne last gas bill rendered by the gas company to this store was jor the month of December last and was $74. ‘The first month (January) that this new pas was used {t cost the proprietor just $9 60. 1t 13 claimed for this gas that it is perfectly safe and will not explode; that the entire works can be taken apart and be put together again in Ave minutes, and it 1s 80 simple that any-man or woman can run it after having had ten minutes’ instruction. At this place in Vesey street the gas is made twico a@ woek—Suturday and Wednesday—the holder or res- | ervoir not being of suilicient capacity to hold enough for a longep period than three or tour days, Ot course, any such invention as this meets with Persistent opposition from the gas companies, who sco Clearly that unless they reduce very mud von the rice of the gas iurvished by them they mug}soouer or later lose ull their best customers, such as hotels, public buildings, ratiroad stations, factories, mille and largo stores. A movement is evon now on fvot for the fur- nighing of whole blocks of private residences and stores | up town with this gas, the method being to piace one of the machines in the centre of the block and con- | Rect it with the pipes already in uso in tho surround. | ing buildings, In this way consumers will be enubled | to save at least fitty per conton their gas bills, and ‘will be supplied with a much purer and better gas than they now get.
