Opening for the Defence in the Anti- Rapid Transit Suits. COXSTITUTIONALITY OF THE RAPID TRANSIT ACTS. A Dentist’s Bill Against Henry Ward Beecher. ga Transferred from the Galley to the Cabin. Love ——_—_.-_—__—— On behalf of the Gilbert Elevated Railway Company fn the suit brought against it by the Sixth Avenue Railroad, being tried betore Judge Sedgwick In Special Term of the Superior Court, Mr. Lowery yosterday made the opening. He said that the present action evidently bad been brought to restrain the people from enjoying rapid transit over the beat route; there was @ question as to the necessity of rapid transit in this cuy. Every scheme had been thwarted in the Legisia- ture through the influence of the horse car companies ‘They had now learned that thore was One kind of rapid transit to which they were fully committed, the magic carpet of the oriental imagination, He dwelt at Jength upon the power of the defendant to build an elovated road upon the plan proposed, He did not deem it necessary to discuss the utility of the Gilbert Elevated Railway plan, He reviewed the vari- ous acts of legislation in regard to it, showing how, in 1871, an attempt was made to get a charter for the Gil- bert Elevated Atmospheric Railroad, and bow this scheme failed because it did not enlist the contidence of the capitalists. He went on to state that a year later various partios interested in rapid transit in this city talked upon the subject with Mr. Gilbert and their willingness to assist hin in obtaming a franchise if he could perfect # plan by which cars could be ran in the open air by steam. The present pian was, therefore, elfected after great labor, and a bill pened by the Legis- laturo incorporating the Gilbert Improved Elevated Ratlway. He reterred to the authority of the Legisiature over the streets of the ciy, in whieu regard be claimed it had supreme control. Having cited vartous authori- ties upon this point he insisted that tho Legislature might at avy tune change ove kind of public use of the street to another uve of the street, He next spoke ot t! coustitutionality of the rapid transit act, and im cou- clusion isisted that the purpose in view by the Gilbert lmproved Elevated Railroad Company was to enjoy the rights of its franchise so as to do the least possi injury to other parties, When he bud finshed his opening, Patrick Burns, a member of the Legislature im 1872 was called as the first witness for the defence. Ho stated that the plan submitted to the Legislature did not contemplate the propulsion of cars by the pneumatic method, but by steam im the open air. In the suit of the Ninth Avenue Railroad against the Greenwich Elevated Railroad Company, being tried be- tore Judge Van Hoesen, of the Court of Common Pieas, Mr. A. J. Vanderpoel opened the case yesterday on be- | half of the deiendants, He made a lengthy and cogent argument, Alter reviewing the decisions of Chicf Justice Daly and the General Torm upon the Patton case, he showed how the road, even with @ tive years’ restriction, was not deburred by any act of the Legislature in carrying to & completion its reasonable plaus, He spoke of the long drawn ou testimovy presented on tbe part of the plaintiff as very much exagyeruted For instance, the starier of the Ninth Avenue Railroad testified that there were 1,000 accidents a day, which was an accident nearly every minute. Anoilier witness testilied tiat a frightened horse jumped as bigh as the ceiling of the court room, which was some thirty feet high, and would be arather difficult equine feat. EENRY WARD BEECHER. It ts very rarely that the great pastorof Plymouth church makes his appearance in a court outside the City of Churches, 1n Supreme Court, Crreuit, held by Judgo Westbrook, he put in an appearance, however, yestor- day, the occasion being his compulsory resistance of a suit brought by Solomon 8, Skinner, a dentist, to re- cover payment for two sets of false teeth alleged to have been furnished by the plaintiff to Mra. Henry Ward Beecher ana one set to Dr. Lyman Beecher, some twenty-five yeurs ago, Mrs Beecher was also present in court. Ex-Judge Busteed appeared jor Mr. Skinner and Mr, Jobn 3. Hul for Mr, Beecher, Judge Busteed made one of bis characteristic openings, which kept the court room convulsed, and then called the plainuif, who told bis side ot the story. Heury Ward Beecher was then called by Judge Busteed. He litted the right band, indicating that he would be sworn us he was on the scandal trial. He was very cool and good bumored, and got up several good laughs, while the couasel spoke us the top of his voice, gesticulated, and fixed terrible looks upon the witness, Q. How long ago was it sinco Mr, Beecher had no teeth? A. I couldn’t locate it; but 1 know that very early she was obliged to rely on an auxiliary sei. (Laughter.) + Q. How many false sets had she? A. I don’t know; 1 never counted them—(laughter); Idon’t know what they were made of, Q@ They might be lead orturf? A. They might for all | know—(laughter)—I did not pay Skinner that 1 know of; 1 know of nothing about teeth for my tather, except Skinner's demand; I don’t know what | said to him; I got rid of him as quick as 1 could, because he wes drunk. (Laughter.) A. He had all tho Q Ub, you say he was drunk? appearance of tt. Q (Furiousiy)- Ub, he had the appearance? Now, was he ‘araok, or Was it only the appearance? A. Without a smilo)—Weil if I was in that state | should ave been drunk. (Roars of laughter, ) Q. Were you ever in that state? A, Never. Q Did you ever expect tobe bere’ Mr, Jocted, and Judge Busteed “took it all back, Judge Westbrook promptly dismissed the case, as, on the plaintiffs own suowing, the gooas were fur- nished twenty years ago. It was amusing, While the counsel was reading de- hunciations of statute of limitation defences, to seo the witnes# coolly occupied reading a book, and, up- parently, taking no notico of all the terrible things shoated Intu his ear, A ROMANCE OF THE SEA A novel case, involving the characters of a cap- tain and @ young girl, came up before United States Commissioner Osborn yesterday for adjudication, From tbe tesinaoay a 1p the case it appears that Frank Geardis, steward of the American beig Wanburn, of which yoseph Spencer is captain, took on board the vessel, while lying in tho port of Liverpool, a young girl named Harriet Miles, whom he introduced as his wile, the captain assenting on condition that the stew- ard should pay Harrie.’s passage and board to this port, for wh tho vessel sailed on tie 22d of March last, The parties were, in fact, not married, altaougn it was arranged that the ceremony should be periormed on their arrival bere. ‘The prenuptial honeymoon did not coutinue loag, Harriet becoming tired ot her protector, the steward, ond transierring ber allegiauce to the captain. The vessel arrived at Matanzas, Cuba, after a voyage of thirty: when Miss Miles leit the galley the ‘cal she goatinued to occupy ull the arrival of the vessel at this port. During this time Harriet was boss, lore and ult, as one of the sailors phrased it, and peremp- torily scouted ail the steward's advances and pledges ol uiatrimony Which he vowed with frequent protesta- tious to fuilll wuenever they should arrive in port. The climax which brought the case ito court wae reached When, on tue crew veing paid off in the port a lew days. ago, the captain tendered Geardis Lis wages, deducting the girl’ passage and board money and about $10 for & fancy comb, & belt, a par of gloves, a parasol and a veil, which the captaia himeolf bad presented to her. This unexpected treatment in. flamed the passion of the steward, he louking upon it as auding mjury to insult, and he indignantly refased to Tecerve bis wages with any such deductions, He there- upon broughs the case before the Commissioner, Mr, Osborn recommended a compromigo and reprimanded Geardis for taking @ Wooan on board the vessel under false representations. As this was all the re! present Geardis could obtain he left the cou: wiser, der man. SUMMARY OF LAW CASES, In a suit brought vy Mra. Henrietta 8. Clark against Wiliam C.

IKE COX, A NOTORIOUS DESPERADO ASBASSI- NATED—HIS DEATH NOT REGRETTED. (From the Feliciana Ledger.) From a citizen of Port Hudson, who arrived on the spot a short time after the bloody deed, we glean the intelligence that lke Cox, a notorious, treacherous and dangerous chatacter, was shot and killed in that vil- Jago on Wednesday night, the 31st ult. The circumstances that led to the commission of this sanguinary deed are substantially as follows:— It seems that the whole neighborhood of Port Hud- son were in constant dread of this man Cox, on ac- count of bis havitig committed some foul and atrocious murders some time since in that tmmodiate section, and bad by the leniency of packed and bribed juries evaded the just penalty of the law.

By thiy meabs he had mude himself mtolerable and unvesrable to the citl zens, so that driven to the last extremity they armed themselves and drove him from the town, From that time up toatew days ago bo has been tradging ubout frow one parish to another, stil pur- suing his evil ways. We believe that in the parwh of Bu ry he at one time shot and dangerously wounded acousiable who was sent to arrest him. He made good his escupe irom the parish, but returned ina tew months after, thinking perbaps tbat all thoughts of the past had vanished from the-people. Not so, however, as was afierward proved. No sooner had bis nce in the parish been made known tothe Sherif that t ual hunted him up and korse sex ed arrest him, 1m which attempt the unfortunate official lost his lite, as Vox ant penis drew bis pistol and shot him dot in making his esca ‘A short time after he became involved ina difoulty with gome Spaniards, or Italians, in Donaldsonvill we believe, in which afftay be shot and serousiy wounded two or three men, and again succeeded in es- - and evading the law. immediately after this he took his departure and all trace was lost of him until a weeks ago, when he Teturned to the of his first tragedies, From bis own Mpa the in artes po he jon was obtained that during bis long been travelling in and about the as the excitement and lawlessness which at would afford bim opportunitios to Indulge in those heinous crimes for which his nature thirsted.
