THE COURTS. tial Wate Bank Sick romfered hy James. H. Ingersoll to His Father TELEGRAPH PATENTS AND JAY GOULD. Judicial Investigation Into One of Subsidy Pomeroy's Pet Railroad Schemes, INTERESTING STOLEN BOND CASE. Heavy Discount on the Profits of the Sheriff’s Office, : In the palmy Ring days James H. Ingersoll, in addi- tion to being ono of the directors of the Tenth Na- Sonal Bank of this city, was the owner of 600 shares of the capital stock. the amount of the capital stock at that time being $1,000,000 and the shares $100 each, Lorin Ingersoll, the father of James H. Ingersoll, claims that in October, 1871, he purchased from the latter the shares in question, and demanded, as he al- 1¢6¢8, @ transfer of tho same to his name on the books of the bank, which request, however, was not com- * piled with. In the early part of the present year the Capital stock of the bank was reduced to $500,000, and thereupon, as Mr. Lorin Ingersoll turther ulleger, ha tendered his old certificate and demanded a new one conforming to the reduction in the capital stock. This the bank refused to accept, The result has been the ‘bringing ofasuit by Mr. Lorin Ingersoll against the bank, in which heasks a transfer of 300 shares of the reduced capital stock standing on"the books of the bank in the name of James H. Ingersoll, and that a certificate therefor bo issued to him. In his complaint he farther demands that the bank pay to him forty per Cent in cash upon the amount in value of his stock, to- gether with $1,500 dividend in gold, his.pro rata share upon the dividend paid in January, 1874, ‘On behalf of the bank no answer bas yet beon put in to this omnes: The case came up yesterday before Jadge Speir, iding Superior Court, Special Term. “Mr. Amos G. Hull eared on behalf of Mr, Ingorsoll . ork rorresented the Tenth Na- ted that owing to the peculiar teatares of the case it would require a good deal ot time to prepare an answer. He cena te Mr. Lorin Ingersoll had purchased this stock his fon and that his son bad been connected with the Ring, and intimated because the son had been connected with the Ring tbat the father must be in some way to blame. Mr. Hull, in behalf of the plaintiff, contended that it was irregular to go before a judge not sitting in chambers and obtait ox parte order extending time after another judge had once denied the extension He said further he had read of a doctrine which inflicted the sing of the fathers upon the children \o the third ana fourth generations, but had never heard of that doctrine having a retroactive application and punishing the fatner tor the aileged faults of the yon, Mr. Hull said, iurther, that he had known his client, Mr. Lorin Ingersoll, for years, and knew him to be a most upright and conscientious man. Besid the bank for which he js attorney is mare in- terested in this than Mr. Lorin Ingersoll; but, as a matter of form, he was compelled to bring ‘the gait in the name of Mr. Ingersoll. Ho theu went on to ex- plaim that a suit was brought in behalf of the city nearly two yoars ago against Ingersoll, Watson & Co., of which firm Mr. Lorin Ingersoll was'a partner; that Mr. Ingersoll then submitted his books and papers to the examination of Mr. Wheeler H. Pockham, the counsel for the city, and that after a brief examination ‘the caso was withdrawn at the instance of Mr. Peck- ham. Judge Speir retused to put off the case, and the Action was put down for trial for next Tuesday. As already stated, no answer has as yet been made to the complaint, but ‘it is understood, as in fact was sug- gested by the remarks of Mr. Work, reported above, that the principal ground of defence is that there was no bona fide transier of the stock in question; that Mr. James H, Ingersoll is largely indebted to the bank, and, consequently. that the plaintiff has no ground {for bringing the present suit. CENTRAL BRANCH, UNION PACIFIC. Tho suit of Samuel L. Trodwoll against Ralph M. Pomeroy and others was formally begun in Speciay Term, Supreme Court, yesterday before Judge Larre- more. This suit, so often referred to within the past three yeara, invoives the construction of the Atchison and Pike’s Peak Railroad and an accounting of the co- partnership assets under what is known as the Osborn contract. A printed copy of the contract made be- ‘tween William Osborn and the Atchison and Pike's Peak Ratlroad Company, dated May 9, 1865, and agreo- ments between the parties intersted therein, were produced, the substance of which has already becn given in the Hzratp, Mr. James Wadsworth was the first witness called, and examined by Mr. 8. C. Mount, of counsel for the plaintiff, In his direct examination he affirmed in de- tail the contract referred to. On his cross-examina- Mon the defendants offered in evidence a resolution of the railroad company passed May 8, 1865, relating to the execution of this contract. This was objected to by Mr. William A, Beach, counsel for the palintiff. Judge Fullerton, for the defendants, insisted that it ‘was admissible to Show that the contract was void as being made by the directors of a railroad company who were themselves to be interosted in the conw signees. Mr. Beach insisted that it was inadmi the ground that {t was not proper on cross. tion, and further, that tho question raised in this liti- gation might as well be orought forward and settled at once, and that the question of the validity of the coh- tract had no relevanfy to tho issues involved in this trial; that the suit was brought for dissolution of the copartngrship tormed for building the road and an ac- counting among the copartners; that as it was an un- disputed fact that these contractors built the road, any one of them had the right to a decree dissolving theco- partnership, winding up its affairs, paying its debts and dividing the profits, if any; that the validity of the contract might arise in an acti by the receiver afer bis appointment in this suit inst the railroad com- pany, if the company choose to question it; that the company was no party to this action; that in an action for an accounting among partners no ono but the part- ners themselves are proper parties to the suit, but that the defendants were nasty in questioning the validity of the contract, and that aij the stockholders wore ers in the contract, and, » therefore, 30 one was injured, bat ail alike were bene: Judge Larremore stated that the: defend- wots in their wer set up aflirmatively the Ielence that the contract never was pertormed, eir allegations the proceedings of tho pany dmissible. It appeared by the min- Mtes that the directors of the company who made the contract were Senator Pumeroy, of Kansas, Wil- is Gaylord, Eitingham H. Nichols, James Wads- worth, Benjamin F. Stringtellow, of Bleeding Kansas memory; 0. B. Gunn, engineer of the company, und Uharles T. Ware, and’ on further cross-examination lt appeared that of these, Ware, Stringfellow and Gunn, bad no interest in the contract and that the other directors bad. Among the exhibits read in evidence besides the contracis were letters trom Wil- lis Gaylord, treasurer of .the con tractors, to James Wadsworth, company contractor, culling for meetings pf the contractors to provide means for the butting ofthe road; receipts from Gaylord. treasurer of the sontractors, for money paid in ou stock subserip- lions‘and the contract assessment; Jetters from the fefendant, R. M. Pomeroy, relating to sales made by dim of interest in tho contract to parties in Bos- jon; the report ofa committee, composed of Heary Day and George S. Hale, appointed on the part of the contractors to find out what the existing obli- gations were for which Gaylord was allowed in the contract cight and ene quarter per cent of the bonds and one-eighth ofthe stock, who repogécd that Gay- lor,said that bow he had used the bonds he con- sidéred his business and not that of any one else, It further appeared by the report that nearly $1,000,000 had been expendea in building the roaa by Mr. Gaylord while le was treasurer tor the con- tractors. A letter was also shown from Mr. Charies Gould, of June 1868, inquiring why the road, though completed in January, 1863, sli remained in Osborn's hands, and calling upon the contractors to settic up their accounts with Osborn, At this point the Court adjourned. The examina- don will bo resumed to-day. TELEGRAPH PALENTS LITIGATION. A suit in oquity has beeu brought in the United States Cireu!t Court by George Harrington and Thomas 4. Edison against the Atlantic and i'acific Telegraph Company and Jay Gould. The plaintiffs claim to hola the ttle to Edison's inventions of improvements in chemical automatic telegraphy and duplex and quad- tuplex telography. Tho compiaint sets forth that Edison obtained a great number of patents for his In- ventions and has applications pending for many more, pended several hundred thousand dollars in developing these inventions On December 30, 1874, as turther alleged tn the complaint, agreement in writing entered imto between J. G Kei and John MeMar, acting in behalt of the beneficial owners of the inv uons, and Jay Gould, in the interest of the Atiantic and Pacific Telegraph Company, whereby it wag declared by Gould, and) MeMaous that they would heartily co-operate tn’ placi he ownership of ue vomatic systei in the Atlantic and Puerfie Telegraph mpany, Which was to Increase {ts capital from 0,000,000 to $16,009,000, and the automatic inwrest was to reevive $4,000,000 of the additional stock. General Eckert was to he tho president, Mr. Edison the electrician, and Mr, C. Craig was to organize the Tingtoa, who held the title fled this bargain, and on the n- 2 —— a Ant of January, pat in Gould’s bands a transfer of hy tor the alleged the opie ad cuiapin tera or he alge iew York to Wasbing- h Company, it being assumed that the bargain of 30th mber, 1874, would be carried out. bey in afterward it was managed that the $4,000,000 of stoc! should be apportioned thus—$3,180,000 jor the Edison patents ap 000 for the National Telegraph Com- | pany and some other parties. Mr. Harrington (trustee), y the direction of pe pee © BR, ago deeds sier eo p- | ae Jay Govld and the Atlantic bn | erty Pacific Telegraph Company, and delivered the same to Gould, with writion instructions that they were to take effect when the above mentioned consider- ation should be paid, to be distributed among the par- ties entitied as per schedule, Harrington bewg in ill- health, and about to Jeave for Europe, sold to Gould 4,254 shares, the interest which wss to accrue to him on the completion of the purchase by the Atlantic and Pacidc Telegraph Company, out of the 31,800 shares, at $25 per share, the then market value of the Atiantic and Pacific Telegraph Company stock. Gould also pur- chased irom otber parties their expectant shares of stock at the same rate. Soon aiter Harrington left Gould put the assignment to himself on record, and set up a clam to hold under that transfer all Edison’s in- Yentions in automatic telegraphy, without paying Edi- son and the partics associated with him the 31,800 shares of stock, or any part thereof, The inventor has not received, on the intended sale to the Atlantic and Pacificafelegraph Company through Gould, a dollar for his inventions, thirty or forty in number. With ro- spect to Edison’s inventiong in dupiex and quadruplex telegraphy, the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Com- pany have purchased the indiejdual interest of Edison therein (one-third of the avails), the title to the whoie being in Harrington tn trast. The Telegraph C me claim to own that tithe under the dollar deed wihgut ying the consideration agreed upon, as betore stateu. | Fie com lain’ msists that the bargain for the sale to the Telegraph Company has been entirely abandoned, that the deeds to Gould are consequently abortive, and it demands an injonction restraining the Teiegraph Company trom using the inventions, EX-SHERIFF BRENNAN’S SUIT. Ex. Sherift Bre 8 suit against the city to re- cover some $52,000 tees for conveyance of prisoners during the first three-quarters of the year 1872 was con- cludgd yesterday Before Judge Van Hoesen, holding trial term of the Court of Common Pleas, The counsel having summed ap on the previous day all that re mained before giving the case to the jury was the Judge’s charge. Tho charge was brief but clear and | potnted. He said that the cara, although presenting many difficulaquestious, was notso complex us neces- sarily to confuse the minds of the jury. The only question to be determined was whether Mr. Brennan's charges were correct and honest, If the charges were | correct then Mr. Brennan was entitled to recover a ver- dict; 1, on the countrary, his bilis were tainted with fraud, they were illegal so far as any excessive charges or false charges could be proved to the sativiaction of the jury. A good deal haa been suid about the powor of the Board of Supervisors. He remarked that the audit of the Board of Supervisors was final, so iar as it reiated to the question whether the items of the Sherifl’s bills were county charges or not; but they had no power to audit frandulent bilis, and if the jury thought the bills dishonest, this andit of the Board of Saper- visors had nothing to do with it, The Sberiff™ was titled to a verdict if it could be made to appear that his reports to the Secretary of State were correct; but if the reports were incorrect and the plaintiff knew them to be incorrect be should not be allowed to profit by his own fraud, The frauds of Tweed, Sweeny and the other members of the Ring had nothing to do with Mr. Brennan; it was vo evidence against him; his bill should stand or fall on its own its. In conctusion, Judge Van Hoesen stated that the jary might find for a lesser amount than the sum c.aimed if they thoyght any portion of the bill was oxcessive. ‘After an absence of about an hour the jury returned with a verdict for $35,613 63 im favor of the city. Counsel for plaintifl moved for a new trial, but Judge Van Hoesen denied the motion. ‘How are you pleased with the verdict?” a Hxratp reporter asked Mr. Straban, * “I can’t say that { am pleased,” said Mr. Strahan, shrugging his shoulders, ‘but it does not very greatly surprise me, considering the circumstances under which the cage was brought to trial,” “To what circumstances do you attribute the ver- , dict against you??? “We are siinply the victims of the reform move- ment,” “Will you let the matter rest here?” “Not at all. We shall appeal the caso and will finally geta verdict ar favor. There is no getting over the finality of the audit of the Board of Supervisora,'? Taking the verdict against ex.Sherifl Brennan as a Just one, the city will be entitled to recover ut $12,000 for each quarter of his term in office, making a total claim of some $150,000 by the city against Mr, Brennan for ove ACTION ON A STOLEN BOND. An action possessing some moro than ordinary points of interest to capitalists and others occasionally dealing in negotiable bonds was held yesterday in Marine Court, Part 2, before Judge Goepp. In 1869 Mr. Dowos, a merchant in this city, with offices in Front street, was the posscssor of several first mort- gage bonds of $1,000 cach of the Central Park, North and East River Railroad Company.- In March of that year his oflice was broken into and bonds of various de- nominations were taken from his safe. To recover the possession of one of these for $1,000 of the company referred to was the cause of action. *.No trace of the bond was found until tho month of December, 1873, when the Express and Agency Company, of London, England, sent the bond to their agent in this city with instractions to sell the same. Meanwhile the original number of the bond, 504, had been altered to ag were also the coupons attached to the bond. The com- pany on presentation had paid one or moro of the alleged coupons before the forgery was detected. The purchaser of tho bond wags Mr. Thomas Dusen- berry, against whom the action was brought by the ptr Dowes, to recover m of the bond, ‘he question turned on thg good faith or otherwise of the defendant when he made the purchase. (On this point the closest scrutiny between the real 564 bond and the altered one from 504 to 564 failed to 4e- tect the alteration in the Ogures. Dr. Doremus was present with a magnifying glass, to which be subjected the altered bond and the coupons, and explained in a scientitic manner to the Court and jury the indications of the forgery, The detendant proved that he bought the bond in the ordinary course of business and with- out notice or knowledge of any alteration in the num- bers, The Court held that the alteration was not eo apparent as to put a bona fide purchaser upon notices, and that he who buys a negotiable bond in market overt Acquires a good titie, even though the bond be stolen, | and accordingly dismissed the compia:nt. A POSTMASTER ON TRIAL. \ In the United States Circuit Court yesterday, before Judge Benedict, the case of William H. Burchard, for. merly postmaster at Florida, Orang county, N, Y., was called up for trial, The accused did not appear, ho being out on bail, and the trial of the case proceeded in his absence. A portion of the testimony for the gov- ernment was pat in, when the District Attorney moved that at this stage the case bo adjourned until to- day. Burchard was a member of the firm of Burchard & Wells, doing a general busines in the town of Florida, The charge against him 18 that he obtained indorsements of notes trom various persons in his vicinity, and when the notes matured and the customary notices ‘wv deposited in the Pust | Office to be forwarded to the indorserg, he beld them buck. After indietment by the United States Grand Jory upon the charge of having fraudulently obtained indorsements ou negotiable notes Burchard abscond- ed, but was subsequently arrested at the house of a relative in New Jersey and admitted to bail. The Dis- trict Attorney has telegraphed to him to appear to-day, Bo that the trial may psoceed. SUMMARY OF LAW CASES.

Mr. Irwin was promptly on hand at four P. M., with ex- Judge Fullerton, The Pacifle Mai! Company had one of its bookkeepers present. Mr. Fullerton opened the proceedings by reading from the minutes of the mecting of directors of Pacific Mail of August, 1873, naming a committee on the Stockwell compromise, ‘ - ° Mr. Hatch (interrupting)}—Put down that I was not on that committee. Read the full minutes and they will show it. Mr. Fullertorl—t will not read it. Mr. Hatch—Now, you go on and I will meet you, That book does not belong to you; it belongs to the Pacific Mail Company. Mr. Fullerton—Now, Mr. Referee, this interference by this man must be stopped. If you do not protect me I will protect myself, - Adjourn or go on. Roteroe—I will make an order if it is desired, Mr. Fullerton—I will now read a part of the pro- ceedings of tho Board of Directors held on Octobor 22, 1873, by requost of Directors Scott and Hatch.

While Mr. Fullerton was read- ing Me. Vanderpoel was looking over the minutes and correcting the lapsis lingua. The purport was that in consideration of the reconversion of those sharos Stockwell should have a release; the Howe Sewing Machine Company mortgage should be satisfied, and certain suite discontinued. Counsel read also a part of the minutes of the directurs on March 6, 1874 Ob- jected to and noted. ’ Mr. Hateh—I think the whole book ought to go in. Mr. Fullerton—Well, we'll cut you off on that, The evidence shows that tne cleim against Stockwell covers this very claim against Irwin. Mr. Vande i—The printed pleadings will show that the complaint against Irwin was sworn to 1m 1874. He got that money, in his evidenze he says ‘the president of the company directed the money to bo paid to me ;” and I don’t see bow he is going to get his neck out of the halter, Mr. Fullerton—His neck isn’t in the halter.

Thomas Hinos, a newsboy, was, it will be remem- bored, sentenced a fow weeks ago to one ye: iropris, onment for having stolen from one of tho outside pock- ets of Mr. Frank 8. Hastings a ten cent stamp, Inthe report of the casé published in tho Hera.o it was stated that the two newsboys who wore chased for the thelt had been tempted to steal the stamp by Mr. Frank 8, Hastings’ own action. The general circumstances of the case, and tho relative severity of the sentence, as well as the great. misfortune to the boy himself, have, since his conviction, been matters of everyday taik among @ considerable number of people. Mr. Frank 8. Hastings, in a letter published by the Henann, denied the accutacy Of the report of the case, asserting :— Firat—That he did net tempt the boys to steal the money by “stopping on the sid: ik and pretending to gage abstractedly at the uppo y of a bufiding, hoping the lads would take advantage of the opportu- nity, Second—That the boy was captured by a policeman without his aemistance, Tn order that the accuracy of the two above aver- ments may be estimated the verbatim stenographic re- Ladi Mr. Frank 8, Hastings’ evidence is pere repro- duced :— MR.

On the cross-examination Mr. Hastings said:— Q Did not you = you wanted ty seo how it was done, and you would’ look up and give thom—the boys—a chance? A. Yes, sir, ‘n his letter also, Mr, Hastings took occasion to hint that young Hines was nothing more nor less than a Prolessional thief, On the contrary, it appears beyond question of doubt that the lad has ever borne a good character, and has maiuly contributed to the support of hws mother, who lives at No. 153 Washington street, Messrs. Kaufman and Gratmes attest his worthiness, and C. H, Fiteh & Co., of Worcester, Mass., in reply Miss Imogene Bradford’s inquiry cofcerning the lad | say, under date of May 17, “with regurd to Thomas Hines we can gay that he worked for us for a year or more, siding boots, and as far as we know behaved him- | selt well.

COMMODORE VANDERBILA’S DUMMIES TO BE EX- TENDER fO BARCLAY STRRET—A BREEZE OVER THE COLORED SKIDMORE GUARDS—THE LIE PASSED BETWEEN ALDERMEN, , The Aldermen met yesterday, President Lewis in the chair. . Alderman Morris (owing to the arrests of ‘working- men for dumping earth on the sidewalks) offered resolution instructing the Commissioner of Public Works to bave section 19, cap. xiv. of tho Revised Ordinances of 1864 printed on the back of all permits granted to use a part of any sirect for depositing build- ing material or rubbish by any person engaged in the erection or repairs of uny building, for the infor- mation of such persons, and the Police Commission bo directed to enforce compliance with the ordinance, ‘The resolution was adopted unanimously. Alderman Purroy offered a resolution granting tho New York Central and Hudson River Railroad permis- sion to run through West street dummy engines to pier No, 25 North River, between the hours of six P, M. and seven A. M., between Aprill and October 1, and at other times from five P. M. toeight A.M. Alderman, Hess moved to strike out from “Ist April to lst Octo- ber,” which was Jos, A motion to lay over “was loat, Alderman Howland moved to change the hour from six P. M. to five A. M. the yoar round, A discussion, covering some time, was had, and Mr. Howland’s amendment was lost An amendment of Alderman Morria to add “during the pleasure of the Common Council,” was accepted and udopted. The resolution was adopted with the amend- ment by a vote of 13 yeas to 7 nays, A resolution offered by Alderman Morris calling upon the Departmeut of Parks to report why the order of the Board to complete the carriage way across Wasningiou Park has not been complied with was adopted. A resolution offered by Alderman Morris asking tho Commisstonors of Public Works to report as to the mis+ use of public lamps in advertising liquor saloons, no- tels and coffee and cake saloons was defeated by a ref- erence of the resolution to the Committee on Lamps. Aiderman Pinckney offered a resolution to provide an armory for the colored Skidmore Guards, and explained that, although not incorporated, the organization was composea of veteran soldiers who fought bravely at Petersburg. Ho asked that they have permission to occupy the vacant armory in Hail place, in rear of Tompkins Market. A hot discussion occured upon the resolution, in which the democratic majority and the re- publican minority engaged, and the lie passed between Aldermen Joha Reil'y and Howland, as weil as between | Alderman Billings and Alderman Purroy, — In the first instance Mr. Reilly made an assertion reflecting upon Mr, Howland’s action on the Committee on County Af- fairs relative to armory leases, which Mr. Howland de- nounced as a falsehood. These gentlemen subsequently settled the disputo amicably, When a motion was made to refor it to the Committee on Coumy Affairs, which was tinally done, several colored members of the Skidmore Guards were in the lobby. Alderman Purroy defended the democrats from the charge of opposing the demands of the colored men, and, referring to tha action of the special committee on the Heury Wilson obsequies, he charged that tho republican members were opposed to permitting this organization to par- Ucipate. He declared that Mr, Billings, asa member: ‘ot the committee, said that his aristocratic nuse would bPoffended by the presence of these men. Mr. Billings denounced ghe sentiment asa lie. This made Mr. Pur. roy tarious, and he reiterated his statement, de- claring in addition that Captain Swift, of the Guards, would bear him out in the statement. That person re- marked to him that ho saw what stull these joud mouthed republicans were made of. One of his re- publican colleagues bad said that these necrocs were worse than the Mulligan Guards, “It is 1"? said Mr. Purroy, ‘the first time that I have heard these re- publicans talk thus, They profess tobe the cliam- pions of the colored man, but when their aristocratic | hoses come in contact with them they turn away in } disgust.” At one timo it was feared that blows would | pass bowween Messrs. Bilhngs und Purroy, and the | police detail was strengthened by the arrival of Cap- tain Leary and ollicers, who appeared in the Counci! Room the moment the Board adjourned, fearing a per- sonal encounter, Luckily the combatants expressed their regrets tor the words uttered in the heat of de- bate, and no blows were exchanged, The neglect 6t President Lowis to call the geutiemen to order is se- verely commented upon. ‘ PAYMENTS BY THE COMPTROLLER.

CARBONDALE, Pa., May 16, 1870. Patrick Kelley, a miner, formerly employed in the collieries at Moosic, has been arrested at Mahanoy City, Schuylkill county, and brought back to this county to answer for the killing of James Conroy, another miner, at Moosic, in January, 1874. Conroy was shot by Kelley, who fled, A man named John Jennings, who was the bosom companion of Conroy, at once took an oath that he would follow Kelley until he captured him and handed hint over to justice, In company with Owen McCue, a brother-in-law of the murdered man, he started in pursuit of Kelley. He had no clew to fol- low, but made a search of all tne coal fivids of this ‘State, occasionally hearing of Kelley, but never being able to meet him. MeCue got discouraged in a short time and returned home. Jennings continued, how- ever, to hunt tor the murderer of his friend and visited the coal regions of Uhio and Virginia. In the latter re- gion he learned that a man answering Kelley's descrip- tion had been a short time in the mines there, but had | one, with three others, to work in the silver mines of Nevada, On this slight clew Jennings started for the silver diggings. For month#he traversed the mines of the great West, enduring much hardship and suffering, but could get no trace of the murdei Finally, broken in health and almost penniless, having sp@nt the earnings of years in his fruttiess search, Jennings | returned home about a month ago, Two weeks ayo, white in the lower part of this valley, he was told by a relative of Kelley’s that he * nright as well give up the idea of finding Vat, as he was gale in the old country, working ina min and.?” Jennings roplied that Kelley might be beyond the Teach of the Jaw, but tnat if be was in England he (Jennings) would’ find him and avenge with hisown , hand the murder of his triend, He accordingly was making arrangements to goto England. Last week he went .to dahanoy City to see somo friends, While there he was void by an olf woman named | Hughes that she believed the man he was looking | jor was working in a mine at Mahanoy. She des- cribed the person to whom she reierred and the | description exactly answered that of Kelley. Jennings resolved to get an officer and visit the mine. He ac. cordingly went to Shenandoah and secured the services: of Constable Maley, Keturning to Manhunoy they awaited the changing of the hour in the mine. Whi the men came from the mine the suspected man was working de- tected the man he had so jong sought In the vory first gang, despite his grimy face, Officer Maiey | stopped up to Kelley, and when the jatter saw Jen. Bings he attempted to run, but was stopped by the officer. He resisted desperately, but was secured and locked up in Shenandoah, Kelley was recognized by the olticer a8 ove of a gang he bad arrested some time before for some outrage at Robimeon's patch, When arrested he had in bis possession three seven-shooting revolvers, overy barrel loaaed; @ billy and a slungstiot and « murderous looking dirk, the blade of which boro suspicious looking staing, He was held at Shenandoah Fe unui the arrival of sathorities from this imty, Thos, by the faithfulness of Jennings to the memory of his murdered iriend, one of the most d characters in the Pennsylvania coal region ts placed in the hands aprons as wpllnder ert will not be so tardy in punishing the criminal as it has been M1 ne indifferent in .
