NEW YORK AERALD, MONDAY, JUNE 5, FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Events of the Week—The Speculative Strength of Certain Stocks. THE MONEY AND GOLD MARKETS, Renewed Demand for Government Bonds and Higher Prices—Railway Bonds Firm— Railroad and Mining News. Wart Stresr, puasav, dunes, ire t ‘The week has been an unevevtful oue. While the glass of speculation has not moved up much it has pointed pretty steadily to “fair,” and cheerful auguries are drawn of its continuance in that quarter. Taking the Mat through there has been a visible improvement, not 80 mucn in prices as in the temper of the market. In place of the depression and gloomy forebodings which have go long hung over the street there is a disposition to regard the future more cheerfully, and though much cannot be expected in the way of a rise it is something to get rid of the atrabilious hue through which tho eituation has been judged. One of the principal items of the week has been the advance in Western Union under the fostering care of the Panama and Orton party; who went in fora moderate turn under the impulse of an intention to award a dividend and make a good showing as to their business receipts. Of course Jay Goula was not to bo caught napping, but moved along with them, buying as they bought and selling a little before them, as there was evidence of yesterday, If stockholders wore aware of the curious way in which this anticipated dividend was accumulated things would not lopk so couleur de rose, Alter Western Union Lake Shore has recoived the greatest attention, The prominent bears have closed ‘up their contracts, working the stock up to 54 in the process and letting it drop back to 521; when the mo- tive power was removed, The strongest bearish fecling in the street is directed against this stock, and prophe- cies of considerably lower figures are to be had for the asking. On the other hand, blocks of the stock are in strong hands, and many persou& consider tho sharos quite cheap at existing prices, The considorable advancé in the so-called granger stock has probably given more tone to the market than any other existing cause, for the reason that it was Delieved to emanate from a real legitimate improve- meut in their business. How long this improvement ig to last will probably depend on the continued grain shipment. Brokers have pretty much made up their minds to the recurrence of a dull and torpid summer, but aro drawing more hopeful horoscopes for the fall. It is to be desired that this anticipation will be realized. THE TRANSACTIONS OF THE WKEK.

Besides, there is very Utele sale tor anything not strictly prime, THE WOLD MARKET, Speculation here was weakened by the changed as- pect of the European complications, the price declining fein 118% to 112%. Later, however, there was a firmer feeling, and a recovery of irom \ to % per cent The following are the fluctuations of the woek :— 12% 12% «112% May «RG may nay Toy | 113 }¢ GOVERNMENT LONDS The price of these during the week has been fairly Maintainea, and at the close bonds were strong at an advatice, especially for 1807's, It is now known that purtics bave been in the markot quietly picking up lots wherever they could do so without disturbing prices, and a good investment demand in whe aggre- yate is thus voted. For tho Treasury bonds on ac- sount of the sinking fund itis announced from Wash- ngton that there will be no further call during the present fiseal year; $13,000,000 have already been salled; $6,000,000 called last year and not presented nave been credited to this year, and the Secretary of the Treasury estimates that the redemption of frac- tional currency will be suflicient to make up the do- feveney. STATE WOXDS, Those have not been specially active, and the largest basiness is recorded in Tennessees, which shows an ad- ‘vance on jast week of about 2 per cent. It is believed that a considerabie part of the Louisiana consois bonds have been thrown on the warkets of New York and New Orieans, These bonds were issued in 1874 for the purpose of taking up and cancelling the old State bonds at 60 per cent of their full value, RAILROAD BONDS, On somewhas restrictea transactions compared with other weems, the tendency of railway boads has been to firmness, This is especially true of tho past two or three days, this class of securities generally sym- pathizing with the undertoue of the more speculative stocks. The Pacific issues are particularly stroug, and have been largely dealt in by those who are basing their hopes on Congressional legislation, SILVER A¥D YOKBIGN COINS.

It is stated by one of the official journals of the oil Tegions that tho average daily production of petroleum for tue first four months of 1875 was 26,156 barrels. For the same time in 1876 ihe average has been 23,147 barrels, making a dectine for the first four months of the present year of 3,009 barrels daily, The average number of producing wells last year wag 3,143, and this year 3,590, with @ product of 644 barrels per well, against § 1-3 barrels in 1874. The stock on band in April is reported to be 3,900,703 barrels, but it is said that it would have been impossible to have filled an order ou tho 1st day of May for 3,000,000 barrels of merchantable oil owing to the large percentage of water, sediment, &c., to be tound in the tanks, MINING AND MILLING 1X COLORADO, During the week ending May 26 the Judd & Crosby Works shippod through the First National Bank seven silver bars worth in coin over $9,000, A body of silver ore weighing four tons, and intended for exhibition at the Centennial, was raised trom the Dives Mine a lew daysago. On the Wall Street Mine, so called, work was proceeding favorably when a sudden snow storm put 40 feet of water in tho shaft, and though the said shaft is down 93 feet in good paying ore we still con- sider the name unbappily chosen, Adits are being run into the Puy Rock fissure on Sherman Mountain and good ore is found all the way through the crosscuts, There are now five steam hoisting engines on this mountain, In the Baxter Mine the ore vein at the 160 foot level is one foot in width; tho last mill returns show 450 ouuces per ton. This was prob- ably concentrated ore. The Hardin veto, which has lain idle since 1869, hag been intersected recently by two adits at points that show ore, according to mill re- turns, worth 240 gunces silver to the ton, A Central City paper mentions that ‘articles of incorporation have been tiled with our County Clork and Recorder, of tho Colorado State Mining Company, with deeds for a con siderablo number of excoliont properties in this dis- Wict, Tho list embraces several good lodes which, under development, have proved to be rich and strong."” ‘The Silver Plume Concentrating Works are kept busy night and day on rock trom the Dives, running twenty- four ounces silver to the tou, eight tons being concen- \aled into one, and making ore worth about 190 ounces, The amalgamating ore is disposed of in Colo- rado, while whe smelting ore, carrying sixty per cont lead, 1s sent to Eastern markets. The local papers abound in descriptions of new machinery, new pro- cesses and new openings. In Boulder county the tollurium belt has been traced ag far north as Middle St. Vrain, where several good strikes are reported to have becn made. This metal is variously estimated at ten to twenty times the value of gold, Its commercial value bas never been fixed, THE CHICAGO, MILWAUKEE AND 8ST. PAUL RAILROAD yesterday reported its earnings for 1875 and 1876, and they compare with those of 1874 as follows:— 1874. 1875. 1876, Last week of May. + $340,129 $208,444 $296,000 Whole mouth of May.. — 964, 718,405 810,853 Five mouths to May 81, 3,599,174 2,650,273 8,083,116 —showing an increase, as compared with 1875, of $87,556 for the last week, $101,388 for the month of May and $432,842 for the five months; but, as com- pared with the year 1874, the decrease is $44,129, $145,0 nd $512,059, for the respective periods. MEMORANDA. The following statement, which was pablished during the week, is without foundation :—**The receivers of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company announce that the July coupons will not be paid on the $7,188,500 bonds issued under the mortgage of July 1, 1868, and known as the South Pacific first mortgage bonds, which had not previously been in default,’? The Lake Sbore and Michigan Southern Railroad bas made a reduction in the freight rates on butter and eggs to the East of about 25 percent. The new rates are as follows:—Chicago to Boston and New England Points, 90 cents per 100 pounds; to New York, 85 cents; to Philadelphia, 77 cents; to Baltimore, 74 cent, and to Albany and Troy, 75 cents. The discrim- ination against the trade of New York has evidently not yet ceased, Philadelphia and Baltimore still being favored by lower rates on articles that must como by rall Some weeks ago we stated that Colone) Scott, Presi- dent of the Texas Pacific, was making arrangements to push that road westward from Fort Worth. A Phila- elphia despatch says that he and his friends, failing to get Congressional aid, have put up $1,500,000 cash, and will soon make it $2,000,000, and are contracting for steel and iron rails to build 120 miles of the Texas Yacitic Raiiroad west of Fort Worth. The road is to be completed thus far in August. It is uaderstood that they will push the road West as fast as possible, lest the California Pacific get ali the land grant Contracts for ail the work are to be let immediately. The defendants in the suit of the New York city au- thorities against the New England Transfer Company, to enjom the latter from ranuing the steamer Maryland trom Jersey City to Mott Haven, on the Harlem River, for the transfer of Pullman trains with through passen- gers between Boston and Philadelphia, have obtained an order from Judge Donohue transferring the case to the United States Circuit Court. The purpose stated for this move \s to secure a speedy trial without preju- dice, Meantime the Maryland will continue to run. DOMESTIC MARKETS, Gatvestox. June 3, 1876.

FUN IN THE TOMBS COURT. A THESPIAN TRAMP AT THE TOMBS—AN 0! FICER SOLD BY A PRACTICAL JOKER. When the watch was called in the Tombs yesterday morning the aristocratic name of Arthur Carlton Childs was announced by Sergeant Smith, and that Person, who was charged with intoxication, stepped up to the bar, He was young and shabby. His clothes Were threadbare and shiny, and he dangled a dilap dated hat from one hand while be braced bimself against the railing with the other. A stubbly brown mustache and a beard of three days’ growth, with a dark flannel shirt and a white paper collar, completed the pictare. “Well, Arthur,” said Justice Wandell, “where do you come from ?’’ Arthur (with an indescribable gesture) :— From every hill top sprang a soldier, And who tut J to lead thom on— 1, Jack Unde, the bondman of Kent. “Pray continue,” said His Honor, ‘you awaken pleasing memories. Where do you come from?” Arthur— Ttaly became my country when my eountry cast mo forth, Ajoined the acins of th: se who fought for freedom, And won—tor F dier weldom tails, “There,” said Justice Wandell, that will do. “f have seen the late Edwin Forrest in his prime, and | must say he never equalled you, Itiaa that your stage buriness is a little unnatural and that you have the toxt of Judge Conrad's tragedy somewhat mixed up; Dut your earnestness more than compensates tor your failings. Ihave heard that the theatrical season is dull, but still you may have achance to play ‘Jack Cade’ in some country company. Your offence is par- doned and you may go,” Arthur gazed wildly at His Honor and burst forth:— Ay, once mot as ig the storm ‘Phat it is free and will vo trove forever, and, with a one, two, three movement which would have done credit to Barry Sullivan, Arthur made his exit out of the court and skipped down Centre street, MALICIOUS INTINT. “1 have a prisoner here, if it pleaso yer Honor,” said Oillcer Bartholomew Murphy, of the Fourtn pre- cinct, as ho brought Morris J. Hubert, of Pearl street, to the bar, ‘“He’s a mane, dirty loafer, Judge, and Vil toil you how it was. Iwas on me post, when he steps up to me and says, ‘Oflicer, 1 understand there’s 4 law aginst playing ball in the strect, aud hore’s a bat I tuk irom wan of the boys.’ I tuk the bat, yer Honor, and heil—I beg yer pardon, yer Honor—if it wasn’t covered with black paint, and T spoiled mo new coat. I charge him with the malicious intint of injuring me person. ? Judge Wandeil could not refrain from laughing, and said:—“‘Hubert, you are Pecbarend.” Master Hubert walked out of court, a semi-audible chuckle donoting hig satisiaction at the result. ANOTHER POLICE OUTRAGE, SCANDALOUS SCENE IN FRONT OF THE OAK STREET STATION—4 WOMAM BEATEN BY A BRUTAL OFFICER. Fredorick Ringler is a newly appointed polico officer, detailed for duty in tho Fourth precinct, He hag on several occasions been reprimanded in court for using his club without nocessity.

OWonnell, whose character as a sober, industrious woman vouched for by the residents of the locality im which she lives, had her head covered with bandages, and tho front of her dress was covered with blood. Her son is in the last stages of consumption, When Justice Wan- dell took his seaton the bench Counsellor Cowan, who appeared for the prisoners, drew the attention of the Justice to the case, and gaid that the story of his clients convinced him that they had been the victims ofa brutal outrage committed by the officer. When the case was calied Ringler said the boy was standing with soveral others in front of his residence, at eleven @elock on Saturday night. He ordered them to go away, which they rofused to do, saying they lived there. He pushed them with his club, O'Donnell ran into the doorway and called him names, wheroupon he arrested the latiwwr, He had no soouer taken bim into custody than Mrs. O'Donnell assauited him and en- deavored to tear his shield of. He arrested her also, While in Chestnut street, opposite the station house, he was compelied to rap for assistance and broke his lub in doing so, whereupon he was attacked by a mob. Being cross-examined by Counsellor Cowan Ringler ‘at lirst seemed desirous of avoiding the ans any question which might injure him, pellod to admit that he might have struck Mra. O’Don- nell and ber daughter on the head three or four times, He said he could not tell who he clabbed, bat had no recollection of clubbing & young man who olfered to assist him to the station with the prisoners. Mrs. O'Donnel! testified that she saw Ringler strike her sun with the club; she said “Don’t strike my boy, he ts aick;’’ Ringler dragged the boy along and she fol- lowed; at Uhostuut strect the boy said, “What am 1 sted for? 1 did not do anything;” Ringler gave mapush with the club, and Mrs, O'Donnell said, want to see is my por hurt,” and Ringler struck her on the hand with his club, She showed her hand, which was swolien and blackened, to the Justice. When the officer struck her, to save nerself she tried to grasp the club, but he rained four blows on ber temple, and felled her, biéeding and senseless, into the gutter, After that she remembered nothing until she found herself in the station house, and, with her son, was taken to the hospital, She asserted that the offiver's club was not broken when he struck her, aud that no one interfered with or assaulted him. Mr. James Lawler, a deputy sherilf, was called by counsellor Cowan and testified that he offered to assist Ringler, who then surrendered the boy into his cus- tody; whem the oificer struck Mrs, O'Donnell the wit- ness said, “STOP CLUPRING THAT WOMAN; we can take them in,” when Ringler struck bim in the face, breaking his nose. Sarah O'Donnell, sixteen years old, testifled in cor- roboration of her mother’s testimouy, aud said that when Kinglor struck Mr. Lawler the club glanced off and struck heron the forebead, She showed Justice Wopeed oes on her temple caused by the blow. Mr. Lawler being recalled, testifed that Captain Willams rushed out of ¥ ation house and pre- vented Ringler irom using the club any more. Mr. O’Brien, residing ob the corner of Vak and Pearl streets, said that his attention was attracted by a noise jn the ‘street, andon looking out saw acrowd and Kingler ciabbing every one indiscriminately, Ho zed the action of the oflicer a8 most in- lor Cowan informed his Honor that there were a halt dozen witnesses in court who could swear to the same facts, and asked for the discbarge of his clients, In his address to the Court the coupselior stated that it was time citizeus should ve protected against the outrages perpetrated by brutes wearing police untiorms and clothed with a little brief uuthor- ity. He asked Justice Wandell to remember that the little boy, now rapidly on his way to the grave, was playing tb front of bis own door, when Ringler came up and pusbed him with the clab, almost throwing him into a busement, In any event, there could be no ex- cuse for clubbing Mra, O'Donnell in front of the station house door, where assistance could bo procured ata second’s ce. Justice Wandell discharged Mrs. O'Donnell and her son. Ringler, after the decision of the Court had been rendered, wanted to know what his duty was, and said that the U'Donnells were ‘a hard crows"? Justice Wandeil steruly rebuked him for his un- scemly conduct, and said that no matter how humble persons thay be, they had rights which should be re- pected, and they ought to find protection instead of outrage at the hands of officers of the law. ae Counsellor Cowan informea Judge dell that bo would apply for « warrant ior Ringler’s arrest to-day. A BRUTAL FATHER. At the Esvex Market Court, before Justice Morgan, yesterday, Officer George Little, of the Tenth precinet, charged John Vollmer with bratally beating and kicx- ing his daughter, Louisa Vollmer, in Grand street, on Suturday night. From the statement of the officer it would seem that the little child followed her father to prevent him from spending bis wages in a beer saloon, and to Induce him to go home. Ho turned on her, knocked her down ou tho sidewalk aud kicked ber soveral mes, Hut tor his arrest by Ollicer Little the prisoner would have been roughly handled by a vai her of citizens whe had witnessed occurrence. When asked what he bad to say, Volimer, @ big, burt berate, asked if be had’nta right io beat his own chil Judge Morgan held him in detault of $300 bat, POLICE COURT NOTES.

Ium, therelore, con: strained to hold that the representations were made, as alleged by plaintifis, and 1 have nothing to add to my previous memorandum ay to their falsiy. ‘The motion to vacate the order of arrest must, therefore, be denied, with $10 costs and disbursements, Kellum, &c., vs The Mayor, &&.—The plaintiff! was not only justified in bringing the suit, but would have been derelict if she had tailed to do so. Her defeat was because of proot dolurs the record; andor such etrcum- stances it would bea harsh exercise of discretion to mulct the estate beyond the ordinary costs of the cause, Had the verdiet been the other way I would not have thought of granting an extra allowance against the city.

Heilbron va, Fox.—The affidavit of Benjamin Estes, which purports to have been made on the 9h of May, is not certilied by 4 notary or commissioner of deeds. As the view whieh | have taken of this motion readers the affidavit of slight materwlity, | shail allow the Mdavit to be veritied betore settling the ord shall dispose of the motion on the stand, ‘The aifidavite read in support of the motion for a resale, #0 far as they toad to show that the price obtaived was inadequate, do not, in my opinion, Uring the case within the rule laid down in cases where in- adequacy of price has been held to be a ground for vacating the sale, (American Insurance Company va.

Iu tho water of George Alexander Browg, an in- fant.—It is not disputed that the infant ts the child of the petitioner, Adeline Brown. The eluim which is made to the custody of the child by the respondent cannot be sustained, None of the provisions of the act of 1873 were complied with at the time that the re- spondent alleges that the child was given to her, It canuot then be prewended that the respandent has adopted the child. (Laws 1875, p 166.) After a very carulul examination of the voluminous testimony in this case | caunot refrain trom the conclusion that the petitioner never did give the child to the reapend- ent. Under these circumstances it toliows that the peti- tioner, the motner, ix entitled to the custody of the child, and tt is accoraingly su ordered. Mungeriord vs. Santord.—While | have no doubt as tothe power of the Courtto grant the amendment asked for, I think that this motion should be denied on the ground that the defendant has been guilty of laches 1m bot moving souuer.

If the agreement alleged im the complaint , was made between the plain and the de feudant it can be set up as a defence in the proceedings before the Justice, and if valid the pluintuf, as defendant in those proceedings, must pre- vail If the Justice before whom the proc e pending erroneously decides as to the off agreement the proper remedy of the plaitiff is by tiorar: to review the decision. (Seo Bokeo vs Hat ersicy, 16 How., 405; Benjamin vs, Benjamin, 1 Seldén, 383.) Motion to vacate the injunction granted, with $10 costs, Taylor #, Mabic.—As the item of $5,000 contained in the bill of particulars is the sum mentioned in the agreement dated November 30, 1874, which agreement was executed by the plaintiffs and the defondunt, Ma- bie, 1 see no reason tur ordering a further bill of par. tievflars. The plaintiff inust have understood the ite: of which that amount is the aggregate at the time he signed the agreement, The motion is therefore denied, bat without costs. Fogg va. Edwards.—Tho motion for leave to’ file A supplemental answer must be denied. First, the au- awer proposed is in conflict with the terms of the stipu- lation. Second, the propased supplemental answer 13 not consistent with the original answer, inasinuch as it denies » liability for tema which was admitted by the original answer to be dug. (See $4 Barb., 198.) Thirs 1 cannot discover that the admission of the mdebted. ness as to the extras wus at all dependent on tho result of the arbitration between the defendant and the rail- Feed Gore pany. Motion denied, with $10 costs, to abide even : Bennett ys. Wilson,—The motion to yacate tho at- tachment must be denied, as the motion js based upon the plaintiffs paper, and not upon affidavits on the part of the deiendant. ry allegation in those papers must, for the purposes of the motion, be taken as true, The affidavit on which the attachment was issued seems to me to present a case in which the Court possesses the power to grant an attachment, even 11 the uction be regarded as for monoy had and received. (See ho sec, 229; Gordon vs. Hartelic, 37 N. 164 an 105.) As to the point that if the action be rued ut one for money had and received, the summons bet for relief, it is sufficient to say that such objectiot can only be made available, if at all, on a direct motion for that purpose, The complaint and affidavits disclosing a case for an attach- ment Ido not see how! can look into the question whether the summons is correct in form on a motion to vacate the attachment, Motion denied, without costa.

Wasuiutoy, June 4, 1876, The following are among the recent decisions of the Supreme Court:— No, 82 Gilbert Woodraff et. al, va. Benjamin FP. Hough et. al.—in error to the Circuit Court for tho North District of Iinois.—Jobn Alien having con- tracted with the Supervisors of thy county of Winne- bago, Hlinois, for the building of 4 county jail, maao another contract with defendants in error, who wel plaintiffs below, for all the wrought iron work neces- sary im the constraction of the building, The plain. tills here, who were defendants below, became sureties jor Allen by # written guarantee that he would perform his part of the contract—that is, would pay,.as Le had promised, these sub-contractors. In the progress of the work differences arose between Allen and bis sub-contractors growing out of the refusal of the Supervisors to accept the work furnwhed by the latter, ou the ground that it was not in compliance with the speciticutions of Allen’s contract with the Super- visors aud with defendants in error. After much of the work was dove and put in place was condemaed and the work abandonca by defendants 1a error, who brought this suit agamst Alieu’s sureties for bia failure to pay, as they had guaranteed he would ‘The errors assigned relate to the charge of the Court and she refusal to charge as requested by the plaints in error. . ‘The main ground of error seems to be thus the Conrt did net treat Hugh and Butler, the sub-contractors under Allen, a4 bound by all Allen's contract with $ne Supervisors. But while they accepted the spesitica- tions for the wrought iron work which were in Alien’s contract With the Supervisors, they did pot agree to. bo bound by the Supervisors’ acts in accepting oF raject- ing the Work as coming up to these speciicauops, ‘This Mr. Allen did in bis coutract with them, and no doubt this has led to the present controversy.
