joined from Paying Its Next Dividend. A Clan That the Proposed Payment Is from the Capita and Not the Profits of the Compeny. AN ALLEGED DODGE TO HELP SPECULATORS. Continuation of the Argument in the Anti- Rapid Transit Suits. scaiereree gislative Lobbying for the Bleecker Street Railroad. a, Judge Donohue, of the Supreme Court, yesterday granted a tewporary injunction against the Western Union Telegraph Company, restraining the company irom paying a dividend declared to be payable on the ‘1sth of next month. Mr, Levi A. Dowley, a stock- holder of the company, made the application through his counsel, Mr. John M. Guitav, As usual in such ex parte applications the papers were not read in court or tbe coutents stated, but given privately to the | Judge, who, atter reading them, announces his action In the premises and returns them to the counsel. As soon as the fact of the granting of the iojune- tion «became known the Herauv reporter called at the office of the attorney whose name was Attached to the papers on which the injuuction was | Branted, It was there found that although the attor- ney had returned to his offico from the court he had j quickly departed therefrom again, saying he was | going to the country, and leaving all in his office pro- fessing ignorance as to what he had done, why he did it, or what further he proposed to do in the matter. The next visit was maae to the office of the Western Union Telegraph Company. There the President of the company, Mr. Ortop, was found. He was entirely ignorant of anything having been done in the matier, aithough, be said, there had been a cumor ot such pro- posed action fer some time past, but it was all for the purpose of peculation, Of one thing he was certain— bis company owed nothing; there were no grounds for au injuncijen against it and when the matter conid come before the Court cn a motion to diseulve such an ex parte injunction It could not stand Amument. He added thas the papers in the case had Ot yet been served on tbe company, further, that aa the company’s aividend 1s not payable until the 15th of July next there will be plenty of ume within which to wipe out this temporary injunction, On in- terviewing Judge Donohue in regard to the matter the latter took occasion in the outset to give it as his ppinion that the code ought to be so amended as to prohibit counsel! in cases like this from taking the apers out of court Asto ihe complaint upon which be injunction was asked for be stuted that the sub- Stance of it was an averment that the proposed divi- deud was to be paid out of the capital of the company aud pot out ofits protite, A tabular statement was binitted in support of this allegation, but wi or otherwise of course ho could not stat this he granted the injunction. The g the injanction, however, would not be apy fraud upon the company's rig as in tho interval before the tividend it would have ample opportunity to move for its dissolution and controvert the allegations set forth in the complaint, The injunction was made returnable ‘on the Sth of next month, when .be case will come be- fore the Court for argument and fival disposition, THE RAPID TRANSIT FIGHT. Before Judge Sedgwick, in the Superior Court, ex- Tudge Comstock renewed his argument yesterday on behaif of the Sixth Avenue Railroad Company 1 its suit against the Gilbert Elevated Railroad Company. He reierred to the decision infine United States Su- preme Court in the Binghamtg, bridge case, claiming that the decision in this casyf ,attied conclusively the fact that the defendants hav 20 legal right to con- struct (beir road over the tack of the piaintifs’ road {n the manner proposed. e also cited the court to Various important decisiofs iy-ghe federal and State | tourts, showing that thegrant to ran a railroad and sollect fares was reaily a property ofa railroad corpora- don as much as its roiling stuck. He stronuously in- sisted that It could not be taken away from them with- put compensation under tho constitution, In contin. sation, he said that his learned opponent did not dis- pute the fact that these rights existed, but attempted to evade ot by ing that they do not touch the plaintiffs’ property—not come within several inches of t. Inasmuch us they did, the plain- tif, be contended, were entitied got only to their tracks but to the road outside of their tracks for the enjoyment of their franchises, whereas the defendants propose io crowd the track with tron pillars, In addi- tion to this the delendants propose to run notsy trains of cars overhead, aud the plaimtifs claim that their passeugers should not suifer from this nuisance. The iranchise granted to the plaintiffs the privilege of run- Bing its road properly, and could not be taken from it Without corupen-ation. The State constitution gaaran- leod that no one could be deprived of property ulegaily ; they bad aright io enjoy their road ire trom intra- tion; their nghte were corporeal rights; they were en- tled to the space above the track to the uxed stars if pecessary to the comfort of tueir passengers. The whole matter resolved itself into thrce questions, and the Gret question was, ls there any legislation of the Stato which 1m its terms and intent justifies the entry pn their avenue and building there such a road as is proposed io be bul't by the defendants? The sec- ond question was, If there is any legislation containing tue terias and expression of such intent, is it consti- wtional? The third question was, It there is any such @gisiation and if the swine 1s constitutional in tis gen- Wal expects, is it so in respect to private mghts and in wiercuve lo the grantees in regard to private property fiven in the federai State coastitations’ The de- a bndants, he insisted, must approve aMfrmatively ail positior Having shown, as he ciaimed, that i not been given and could mot ve, he act of 1 the Gilbert road Company, which uct, ne urged, did % authorize the construction of the kind ol road hich it was proposod to build. He contended, ferther, at under the Rapid Transit act of 1875 no authority exists for building the Gilbert road, us such act only sllows the construction of the road upon consent of the property boulders, which had not been obtained in this tuse and could not be obtained, his argument, a good deal of which was an elaboration of the points raised at the opening of bis argument on the previous day, tonsumed the entire day. The various counsel then submitted their briefs to Judge Sedgwick, alter which the Court adjourned. The case bas occupied the atien- tion of the Court or the entire month, and from the m of pepers to be examined the presumption is that A decisive will hardiy be rendered until alter the close of the summor vacation. In the suit brought by the Ninth Avenue Railr Company agains: ine Greenwich Flevated Ratlroa: Company, on trial before Judge Ven Hoesen in the | Court of Cominon Pleas, several additional witnesses were called yesterday im rebuttal, after which ox-Judge Emott proceeded to sum up on behall of toe Elevated Rauroad Company.

He spoke some three hoursand was foliowed by Mr. Bangs on behail of the Ninth Avenue Ratirosa Company, The iatver attacked the various points raised on (ne other Fide and insisted that there Were abundant legal grounds for bringing the present action. His argument was in substance such as has already been given in the prior stages of these rapid tranait Hitiations. An eflort will be made to finish the argument to-day. . | THE BLEECKER STREET RAILROAD. | The examination into the adairs of the Bleecker Street Rallroad Company was continved yesterday, be- fore the referee, Mr. Isaac Dayton.

D. Cenover; no one undertook to dictate to Mr. D, D. Conover what style of living he should adopt in Albany; if he kept open house he dia it from his own taste; he (witness) never at- tended any of his dinners or directed him to give them; he (D. D. Conover) always claimed he had never been paid all he ought to have been paid; they substantially pursued the same course in Washington in relat:on to the extra cent, and did not understand that apy money so paid was to be used in influencing any member of Congress; so tar as he ever heard the money was used in the legitimate advocacy of that measure; he had no Teason to suppose that at the time the receiver was appointed the money of the company wag short; the receiver had promised to take ap inven- tory of the company’s property with him, but never did it; notwithstanding charges as to deficiency in the money of the company made by the receiver on the day of election both the witness aud Mr. Sharp were re elected; he bought his interest in the road from George Law, for which he paid $9. and $20,000 to Mr. Eustis; the road as used no’ d partially equipped was’ so before the or- gavization of the company, and when the company paid for it it did so iu stock “and bonds; so far as he kKbows the mouey and accounts passed over to the re- ceiver were correct; the motive for purchasing the stage lines was to get them off the street, they com petiung with the car lines, and he considered the purchase a bargain; the abolition of the privileges of the stage lines, and not the actual property obtained, formed the most substantial part of the contract; he never sought so to mabage the road as to promote tho interests of any other road or person, and !t was never Tun iu the mberest vf the Twenty-third street road; after the compapy was organized he tried every way to make sale of the bonds, canvassing Fourteeath street pretty thoroughly, but’ found money matiers so de- pressed that he could not succeed; in his judgment, if the road cannot be leased to pares having the means to operate it, 1 must go to foreclosure. On cross-examination by Mr, Sullivan the same wit- ness said that tor the last fourteen years Fourtcenth Street has been regarded as a ferry street, but various plans to that effect have fallen through; he could not y what ia a fair value for the Bleecker street prop- erty now; he cousidered the interests for which he paid $113,000 to be of that value; the property is worth less to-day exciusive of the extension, but with the ex- tension is worth about as much as it was originally; his anu jt was about one-eighth; he paid tne $20,000 jm greenbacks tnstead of check to Eustis at the latter's request, and on the xroand that he wanted to use it; he did not think Eustis was, at the time of tae pay- Ment of the money, a member of the Legislature, nor did he know if be was a member when the charter of the road was passed; atier the road was incorporated he paid no money into its treasury, unless for a low of the bonds he may ha purchased; he con- siders the company in. mis debt about $6,000 or $8,000, and believes ho holds notes for at ieast a portion of the amount; l. D. Conover claims he never got anything tor bis own services—- that all he got went ior expenses; ho supposes the tour noies jor $6,000, euch, made by the company in 1873 were given to Daniel’ D.. Conover; it was true that it was necessary to have some one at Albuny to guard the company’s interests and aguinst adverse interests; he could nos tell on whoin Mr. Daniel D. Conover practised his hospitality; there were two or tureo offers made by parties to advance money to extricate the road if Sharp and himself and egveral others would Tetire as direciors, but the parties refused to put up the money; these parties were J. Hilton Seribuer, Mr. Curtis, of the Baltimore road; R. C. Martin, of River- dale; Benjamin H. Hutton id Mr. Bishop; he had nothing to do with an attemp® to prevent the loasing of the road to the Twenty-thira stroet road. On redirect examination by Mr. Bright ho said the Proposition of these gentienen was to loan the com- pany $150,000 for three years, receiving 4,000 shares ot stock as a gift and $300,000 of the bonds as col- lateral; he and his associates required this loan to be put up in three parties’ hands, to be uscd to pay the debts of the company ; the other parties refused to put the money up in that way, saying they wouid do busi- peas in their way; the 4,500 shares of stock to be given for the loan was a sacrifice on the part of witness and his associates {or the purpose of cxtricating the road; a similer offer was made toa Mr. Jones, but that failed He added, furul that D, D. Conover’s claim was that he spent all the money he got in Albany, and had nothing for himself; that the old directors had actuaily subscribed tho 4,500 shares of stock to carry out tbe Bishop proposition; his subscription was 506 shares, or one-half of all be owned, and the others were in the same proportion; the money paid to D. D. Conover was considered as paynient in tuil for his five years’ services to the company. The case was here adjourned until the 6th of July. SUMMARY OF LAW | CASES. In the suit of O'Gorman va.

Xobbins, the bond and mortgage forgers, arrested on Tuesday. A confession has been made by the latter, which piaces the prisoner Vincent in the position of the leader of the gang. In 1847 Vincent swindled Andrew J. Berrian and Archi- bald Brown out of $750. He was tried and sentenced to two years in the StatePrison. In 1861 he was con- victed of forgery tn the first degree and sentenced to ten years in the State Prison. Ho was pardoned out by Governor Hoffman. In company with George H. Bacon, Richard N, Robbins and T. C, Walker,. he started out the bogus bond and mortgage forgeries. On Wednes- day he was committed by Justice Smith for trial in de- fault of $5,000 hail, while Robbins was remanded to | Police Headquarters, where he made a confession. ON THK EXAMIXATI being resumed yesterday morning at the Washington Place Court, Mr. Prime made affidavit of complaint, leging that on the 11th inst, he received from Mr. 3. Johnson, in Philadelphia, a bond and mortgage purporting to have been signed by Mrs. Hannah G. Speedling, which Johnson satd were given him by Vin- cent in the presence of Robbins at No, 57 Broudway, for the purpose of borrowing or purchasing jewelry and money. Mrs. Speeding then testified that the bond and mortguge in question had never been executed by ber. Mr. Thomas P. Kippard, of No. 104 Bieecker Street, testified to the presenco of the prisoners in John- son's office, and the leaving by them of the bond and mortgage thers, Robbins said, on being sworn, ‘The bond and mort- gage bow shown were given to me by Henry Hunnevilie Vincent, who satd they were signed and executed by Hannah C. Speeding.” ACTING ON THIS KVIDENGR, Justice Smith committed Vincent one further charge of forgery in default of $5,000 bail. Robbins was sent to the ome ot Detention as a witness against Vincent in detault of $2,000. bail. In the afternoon Vincent signified his intention of informing on the remainder of the gang. Detective Ferris accompanied Vincent to the latter's house, where the prisoner produced two forged doeds, the first’ conveying five lots of ground at Forty- soventh street and Fifth avenue. The other forged in- strument was a decd aud conveyance of the premises No, 54 William street. Both these forgeries Vincent declares were executed by Robbins. On t opening of the examination at four o'clock yesterday evening a clear caso of attempt to obtain money by falso pre- tences was established against Robbins, Mr. Francis Plain, a jeweller of No, 165 Sixth avenue, testified that on the 22d of June a proposition was made to bim through Mr. 8. C. Sloane, the real estate broker, to exchange his stock of jewelry and good will in his place of business, valwed at $4,500 for a mort- gage purporting to have been given by Mra Anna C. Speedling to Henry H, Vinceat, and bela by Robbins. Mr. ploane <estified that Robbins requestea him to undertake the negotiation, and represented the tnstru- ment as genuine. Mra, Speedling on being examined swore that the document was forged. Robbins on beime formally, examined gave his name as Richard Newman Robbins, aged sixty-five years, born in Massa. ebusetts, areal estate ulator, residing at the Frank- fort Hou He was comunitted for examination, Other arrests may be expected in afew days. The case is now in the- hands of District Attorney Phelps and will go to the Grand Jury at once, STARVING IN THE STREETS. DESPAIR AND LOVE OF A DESTITUTE MOTHER— OFFICIAL CHARITY TOO EXACTING, Officer Mechan, of the Nineteenth precinct, charged Elizabeth Worth, at the Fifty-seventh Street Police Court, with abandoning her infant son on the steps of the Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum, Sixty-ninth stroet and Third avenue, He charged John Ryan, a school teacher from Buflalo, with aiding Mra. Worth in getting rid of her child. The officer said that be arrested Mrs. Worth just as she had left the child on the steps of the Asylum, and that Ryan was around the corner of Third having placed the child whero the officer had stated, for the purpose of having him taken care of by tho Sisters of Charity, but tn connection with this admis- sion sbe told such a harrowing tale of destitution and misery that {t won for the woman the sympathy of the Court. She said she was a native of Newark, J., and was the mother of two children, beside th in her arms. She had been employed as wot’ nurse tn this city, but through ill bealth bad lost her breast milk and consequently her situation, Her other two children were in the care of her sister, in this city, and, of course, it would not be mght for her also to become a burden upon her. Friends provided for her for several days, but weak and exhausted condition was suficient evidence of ner truthfulness, In fact she was’ barely able to remain on her fect before the Judge while she told her pititul tale, She said she did net want her infant, who ‘was as deur to ber as her life, to perish in her arms for want of food, and she asked Mr. Kellock, Superinten- dent of the Outdoor Poor, to send‘ them both to a hospital Mr. Kellock sata that if she wanted to go to a hospital she should part with her infant, who would ve sent to Randail’s Island, and she had heara such frightful stories of the cruelty to the children of that place by their nurses that she refused the offer. She then applied to the Home of the Friendless for aid, but she refused to leave ber child there, either, because they would not promise to return the litle one to her when she might call tor bim. She had heard so much of the kindnegs o/ the Sisters of Charity, being herseit a Protestant, that she determined in her extremity to appeal to them, and for the purpose went to the Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum above men- toned. One of the Sisters told her tbat they could not receive the child under the circumstances, but she understood her to say that if left on the doorstep ho would be taken {pn and eared for inthe Home, She took this int, and walked from West Third street, where she siept on Wednesday night, all the way up town to leave the child at the door of the asylum. nh street she became ex- dausted on the sidewalk to rest. She then thought of the river and bow easy it would | be for her to ciose her troubled lite and put an end to her sufferings under iis dark waters, The prisoner Ryan (who was on his way to the Third avenue stavies, and recognizing a fellow creature in misfortune) kindly offered his services in he'ping her to reacn the asy!um. She bad no previous acquaintance with him. The Court thereupon discharged Ryan, and Officer Gemer, of the Society for the Prevention ot Cruelty to Ch dren, took the child tothe Now York Intant Asylum. | The mother was sent to hospital by the Court, and when she ts well the ebild will be returned to her, DISSEMINATING VICE.

Yesterday a case of some interest was brougnt be- fore the attention of Hon, William D, Veeder, Kings County Surrogate’s Court, It appears that among the ill-fated passengers of the City of Waco who embarked for Galveston on board of that vessel in the early part of November, 1875, were Henry R, Rogers and Re- becea L., his wife. Mra. Rogers had $5,000 in the Wilhamsburg Savings Bank 10 hor own e. Charles W. Rogers, brother of Henry R., made application to Surrogate Veoder for letters of administration apon the estate of his brother's wife, claiming that he was next of kin. The claim to Mrs. Rogers’ money in the bank was on the ground that she died firat. This fact 18 assumed by a presumption of law, that the husband being the stronger would survive the longer in the water, Mrs. T. Bates, of London, Englund, a sister of Mra Kogers, has e ds counsel to look after the money in the bank, and a citation was issued requiring Charles W. Rogers to show cause why his letters ot administration should not be set aside, The question belore the Surrogate ig which perished first, the husband or the wife? If both went down at the same time to whom does the $5,000 go—to the wife's heirs or to the husband’s? Captain Block of the bark Lucinda, of Riga, Russia, the mate of the ship Caledonia, of Bath, Me., Captain Potts, of the Abdiel, ot Liverpool, testified to being near the scene of the ‘wreck and to the smpossibility of Saving any of the Hgers, the latter mentioning the @nding of a bedy which bad been washed ashore having the name Henry Rogers on some ot the clothing. + Another hearing will be given on July 20, CAPTURE OF COUNTERFEITERS, A SUCCESSFUL BAID IN BROOKLYN BY THE DE- TECTIVES OF THE SECRET SERVICE BUREAU.

HOW CAN SHE LIVE? ANOTHER TALE OF HARDSHIP AT THE HANDS ! OF A SEWING MACHINE COMPANY. Yesterday a highly respectable woman, at present in reduced circumstances, detailed to a Heraun re- porter the following case ot hardship, endured at the hands of a sewing machine company :— “] will state, sir,” spe began, ‘‘that the only reagoo why I tell my story to you js that I cam look to no one for help or redress but the New York Heraro. It is true some time has elapsed since the transaction be- tween myseif and the Weed Sewing Machine Company took place, but that does not make it any the less bard upon me, In 1872 { was callea upon im the month of August by an agent of the Weed Sewing Machine Company and urged to take a machine upon the ordi- Bary terms of payment, I did not understand the use of the machine and Bever tried one, so 1 refused totake tt, He wenton insisting upon my taking it, and, although I really did not at the time want it, he gent one tome. During the whole time I had it Tonly used six spools of cotton upon it, and could have ‘urn the machine but very slightly. I made my payments as well as I could, but my husband 16 @ eon- firmed invalid, and my sou, who was OUR OSLY SUPVORT, had three or four song and dangerous sick nesses: which havo permanentiy unftted him for work. During bis illnesses 1 had to deprive him of many things in order to make the payments which I did. They amounted tn all to $50, or $15 less than sho ewok cost of tho Machine. On ove occasion when the agent camo { told bim tho machine would not work, and that I was sure it was a second band one, He subsequently took ivaway. 1 sont two ladies, a I was too ill to go my- self, to pay the $15, but instructed them not to do 80 anti! they had seen the machine that was to be sent ik to mo, in order to try whether or not it was in geod working order. The man in charge of the com- Pany’s office in Union square said the machine was not there, and that | might ider wyseif lucky if 1 got it back at all, Besiies the $15 wnich was due upon it thecompany claimet SX DOLLARS AND TWENTY-FIVE CRNTS FOR REMOVING TRE Macixr, from my house. Now I am reduced by my husband's Many years’ sicknosé aud the state of my Fs health to great distress, The machine would belp me (to snp- ply them with the necessaries of life, but I have pot the money to make ‘he lyst payment, and the machine, the only means by which IT can hope to get it, is taken away from me, Neithercan I ges a cent of the $50 already paid upon t. The man who persuadea me to Jet the company take away the machine is named Hutechier, Mo satd that I had better doso, or it would put me to expense, as the company could get it by a replevin suit. He said at the samo time that if it for a new on 1 ly A lawyer of my case up agi d the $15 to pay the in, wi badi city has offered to tho \company, if I can Portion of tne price remaining duo, but I am penniless, and so completely help'ess. I could look to no-one or | expect help in any direction; so I thought, at least, 1 would tell the Hrrato, so that others might be warued by my case.” All the vouchers of payments, and all dence relative to tho case were shown to the reporter, and seemed fairly to bear out the statemect of the poor woman. It may bo added that the person making the complaint is, apparently, a very well educated, ro- Spectable woman, cautious and careful in statement, When sho recited the troubles that have come upon her by reason of the chronic sickness of her husband and son aod hor prone destitution she was much moved, a8 sho looked upon the recovery of the machine as her only escape from penury.
