Credit Mobilier Inside a Religious Organization, SCIENTISTS ON THE LACTOMETER, Minister Schenck the Emma Mine’s Guar- antee of Soundaess, OFBRIS OF THE “BABA” BURST-UP, | ‘The Sea Clif Grove und Metropolitan Camp Ground Association came into notice first as an organization in 1871. A year or two previous Ocean Grove was making a little stir among camp meeting people, and the idea of having a Christian summer resort by tho bea was very kiudly received by Methodists generally, Acommittee representing the Merrick (L. 1.) Camp Meeting Association visited several seaside spois on Long Isiand Sound for the purpose of selecting a site to which they might transfer their annual encamp- mont, The committee reported favorably on the biuil atthe back of Sands’ Point, and facing what is now the Sea Cliff property. Beiore the Merrick peo- pie, however, had time to act on the matter they wore forestalled by three gentlemen, who purchased 175 acres on Sea Cliff, therevy, of course, prevenung the founding of another camp on the opposite bluf. Those throe persons organized the association with the Jong name given above, and transferred the property, minus five acres of the choicest views, which they re- served for their own use and benefit, free of taxes or rents or any other financial equivalent for use, A Block company was formed and nearly 700 sbares were put on the market, These have since been reduced to about one-hail, When tne property had been surveyed and cut up into lots a sale was made, and the trustees donated themselves two lots each ior services reudered, They have since sent two lots more in the same direc- tion. For a time the lots solid rapidly, und there Seemed to be no likelibood of any turn tn the affairs of the association, They speat money freely on ail sorts of experiments, making aud unmaking Toads, building a tabernacie, dining halls, hotel and other places, some of which they had to tear down again. The financial depression came in 1873, aud hug contivued since, greatiy endangering Sea Clift, @sit has other property and piaces. ‘The association and individual memovers thereof, with grand dreams of a future paradise before them, bought up farms all around them and added eid to feld, until now the association owns several hundred acres. Very early in the history of the associati strife Brose between the trustees and stockholders, and two Parties, heauca respectively by Rev. W. H. Du Puy and Mr. L, A. Battershall, camo to be known by their leaders’ names. Mr. Battershall hud money and a large share of stock and was firmly opposed to the wild schemes of the Da Puy party, which nad spent so much money to very {ittle purpose, Dr. Du Puy bad influence, and Mw controlled — stock enough to prevent Mr, Battershall being elected President the second year and to keep him out of the Board of Trustees subsequently. Certain of the trustees bought or hired a steamboat and !ost money by the operation, and the ovher sido resorted to the civil courts to find out about what they call ‘the $12,000 steal,’ They were placed unacr the ban for going belore the unbelievers instead of settling their diflerences among themselves But now they Lavo turned the tables, and the other side—the Du Puy urty—have enjoined the Kattershall, now known as ne Du Bois party, from voting on certain seventy bares of stock beid by the executors of Villiam J, Pease. When Du Puy sought to keep Ba tersball out of the presidency of the association and but of the Board of Trustees he had to buy seventy shares of stock. Buthe had uo money. The iate Mr, Pease advanced the money by note, less $700 cash, which a few of them raised by making a **pool.” dir, Pease received their note for the balance, but when it became due they bad pothing to pay. The note was sold at auction und was bid in by o ees for the executors of Mr. Pease’s estate. [he execuiors allowed Mr, Battershall to vote as their proxy on the seventy suures, and Du Puy and party procured an injunction to restrain the inspectors from receiving his vote. They then voted on those Teady reported. atthe recent meeting for that pe on the 12th inst. tor one year. It is claimed that such election was irregular, illegal aud fraudulent. A petition by the disaffected candidates was submitted to the Su- preme Court asking to have such election set aside, to deciare elected the petitioners, or to order a new elec- tion. The case came up for a hearing yesterday ve- fore Chief Justice Davis, holding Supreme Court, Chambers, “Your Honor,” said Mr. Chauncey Shafer, who ap- peared for the defeated and now bolligerent candidates, “I want to read some affidavits.” “fhere being a dispute as to facts, 1 think the mat- ter had better be sent to a reteree,” said Judge Davia, “Very well,”? said Mr. Shafer; “sive us a referee covered with’ trou, bristine like’ a hedgehog—a man who cap’t be talked to out of court.’’ “The other side 18 laboring under a hallucination,” interposed Mr. Fetterich, the opposing counsel. “On! good Lord,” said Mr. Sbaier, in tones betoken- ing the utmost disg’ “Weare not in camp mecting now, Mr, Shafer,” Judge Davis, (Great laughter.) o, Your Honor; but [ am like the old sailor, who said he would turn Episcopalian, because tf the priest paid anything to him he did not hke he could jaw back. ” “How. many petitioners are there?” pursued Judge Davis. “Twélve,” answered Mr. Shafer, (be sume number as the apostles,” said Judge Davis, smiling. “Yes,?? answered Mr. Shafer, ‘and one De Pay among thein;’? and be then added, “The whole thing is a Crédit Mobilier inside @ religious corporation,” Quite a lengthy discussion ensued upon the subject of the appointment of a reicree, the conclusion of which was tbe granting of the motion in this regara and the appointmentof Mr. Wilham C. Trapbagen as such referee, When the matter comes before the lat- ter geutieman the probability is that all the ins and outs of this peculiar controversy will be brought to jight. ADULTERATED MILK QUESTION, vere was a rural atmosphere about the Court of Geve(™l Sessions, Part 1, yesterday morning, when the milk dealers filed in to hear the continuation of Vhe trial of Daniel Schampf, of No. 206 avenue B, in- dicted for selling adulterated mitk in violation of an ordinance of the Board of Health, Judge Sutherland jook bis seat on tne bench at eleven o'clock, and the case was promptly proceeded with, Scicntists’were on hand as on the day preceding, ana from all the sur- roundings it Was evident that the trial was regarded with great interest, perhaps one of the main ques- tions inyolvod being the valuo of the lactometer as a means of detecting adulterated miik. The Measrs, Preutice and Hastings appeared for the prosecution, aod Messrs, Waehror and Lawrence defended the prisoner, The case opened with tho testimony of Mr, Caspar Goldinan, of the Board of Health, who deposed to the existence of the vrdnance against sell- ing adulterated milk, Dr. John B, White then took ihe witness stand and testified that he was.employed by the Board o! Health for the purpose of inspecting milk; he was, he said, speciaily trained to tho use of the lactometer which was used for testing mijk; on she 26th of August he visited the premises of the de- fendant at No. 206 avenue B; ho found there a large quantity of milk jor sale; be tested somo of it with the lactometer and ascertained that is registered only eighty-five, showing that fificen per cent of the milk wat ir: witness Wont of to stute that he had made iit of the lactometer, that be bad tested the lac- Jometer with milk irom (he cow and watered milk and bad always tound the instrament reliable. A discus- Hon ensted between counsel on both sides, butt was largely of technical character avd imvoived points of law of an abstract naturo in which the merits of the lice tometer were referred to incidentally, — The rulings on these points were generally in favor of t prosecution, and alter @ descition was pronounced the testimony of Dr. White was toutinued, The question as to whether he ever tasted any Other than cow’s miJk wus answered by the monu- ayilable *No,’’ which produced some merrin in court, Counser then pressed the inquiry whethgpithe witness could tell with certainty whether a fluid of tue color and consistency of mik was milk or not, Tho ‘witness swore that the fluid be tasted on the 25th of August last was milk. the counsel for the defence subjected the witness to a rigid cross examination, apparently with the inten- tion to show that the iacwometer was nota reliable test, and the ectence of physics was brought into requi- sition in helping the analysis of the ingredients of muk._ A vottle filled with a white liquid was produced aud offered to the witness to test his powers of analy- gis; but he refused to render any opinion, and the Court sustained his objection. A loug discussion then ensued on the spectile gravity of cow’s and other, milks, The Doctor further testified that he had tested solutions of well known specific gravity which the specific gravity was indicated by the lactometer and found correct. Counsel for the defence made repented efforts to get the wittess to test the fluid they had previousiy introduced, buat as they would not state its character the questions were ruled out. The examjnation of the Doctor occupied a con- siderable portion of the day. The next witness examined was Professor Chandler, President of the Boara of Health. and in response to several interrogatories stated that be had prosecuted chemical stadies in universities in this country and in Germany, and had receivod a degree to chemistry; he bad practised im ‘the colleges of this city; be had made a special st ind ¥ use# ; d by the Board of Health, regia tered a lower standard; be considered that the bydro- meter and lactomoter, proyerly covstructed, were as accurate as any instrum for the testing of miik—in fact there was no more accurate instrument; be was familiar with the common standard of milk in th.# country; lactomter, in conjunction with the thermometer and the use of the senses, was most reliable in determining the ex- tensive watering of milx; milk could be distinguished and from «kim milk and watered milk or adulterated milk by using this test; he rous experiments in relation to t had been adopted by the nd he had cume to the con ndard that sbouid be rects- tered by the lactometer; out of 505 cows they found only four to go below, and these four were sick, At this stage of the proceedings the witness procecded to test the instrument ip the presence of the Jury. A can of what is called commercial milk, at a temperature of 67 degrees, showed 82 degrees in the lactometer, Skim clusion that 100 wi: milk was then tested at a temperature of 56 degree: showed 114 degrees in the lactometer, andcream h temperature of 67 degrees showed 44 degrees i the lactometer, The first specimen presented was re- duced to a temperature of 69 degrees, and showed 90 degrees in the Jactometer, The jury inspected tae experiments. Protessor Chandler was then cross-ex- amined at considerable length, Counse! for the de- tence requested him to examine four different Iactome- tors in the same liquid, and the resuit was as foliows:— The first showed 114 degrees in skim milk, the second 116 degrees, the third 1165; degrees and the fonrth 114 degrees. Covnsei for the detence again endeavored to have their bottle of unknown fluid tested, but the ob- jection on the part of the prosecution was sustained by the Court. The witness tried alactometer itroduced by the defence, and in skim milk it showed 115 degreos: and in cream’ 48 degrees. ‘The Protessor then texted his own lactometer in cream, and it showed 45 degrees, which, however, the expert for the detence xaid was 47 degrees, as also did Projessor Borker. Another showed 45 degrees and another 46 dogrees. The cross-exam- ination will be resummed to-day. THE EMMA MINE BUBBLE, The suit of tho Emma Siiver Mining Company against Trenor W. Park and others was covtinued yes- terday before Judge Wallace in the United Statcs Cir- cuit Court. Previous to resuming the Court discharged the jurors not impanelied until the 3d day of January next, announcing that the hearing of this cause woult occupy the remainder of this week at least, Mr. Chittenden, of counsel for the defence, then continued the reading of the cross-examination of Hon, John C, Stanley, Witness testified that the impressions mado upon him of tho value of the Emma miow were un- favorable; on the Sth of Aprii, 1872, be held 200 shares inthe company; he sold twenty-five shares to his brotber-in-law and transferred 150 shares, so that in case he might sell out he would nurt the company ; on his second visit to the jocation of the mine he changed his view the appearance of the mine was changed; a large body of ore, as represented to him, had been’ discovered; be saw she ore, and it was represented to h.m as vaiuable; in one telegram he sent be said that he had examined the new ex- ploration, that there was an immense amount of ore, that it averaged eighty ounces, und all were working zealously; his impression ot the mine was then very favorable; on bis return to New York he told “r, Park of what he had found at the mine; he did not knew what was the market value’of the shares on his return to England; he believed the prospe © be true, and invested his money and advised his iriends to do so; there are muny things he knows now that he did not know then; in spite of Mr. Anderson’s report, which was more favorable than his own tolegram, he distrusted the paying of the dividends; Mr. Anderson, however, telegraphed that the money would be forthcoming; Park sent over money that witness understood to be proceeds of the sale of ore; witness ceased to bo a sharebolder on May 26, 1874; he baad continued to hold five shares in order that he might attend mectings of the share- holders; witness heard that Grant received two and a half por cent for his services, and every ono was dat the moderate charge; Sturt and Park that the mine was worked out The depositions of Hou. Mr. Pemberton and of Mr. Perey Doyle were next read, but they contained noth- ing of interest. Here then followed the reading of the deposition of Mr. George Anderson, the original chair- man of the company. Witness testified that he did not hear rumors against the mine in December, 1871; Park wanted some of the directors to investigate the mine, and said that he would not part with any of his stock until a report came trom the mino; witn Tepeated the story of the urrangement by wh: Brydges Willyams went to the mine; witness thought he w. entitled to the fifty shares of stock that he received; he was simply to hold them during the’ time he was a director; some time alter the company was formed there were rumors to its disadvantage; one was to the effect that Grant was the vendor; witness remembered Park being asked to mukea tutory declaration; be did so on the suggestion of Mr. Pem- berton; prior tothe prospectus veing issued by the compuny he bud never been shown that document; no shares wore ever given to him, directly or in- directly, excepting the fifty shares mentioned; M: Sturt toformed him ofarumor that Grant was con- nected with the company, but it was afterward tradicted by Park and others; witness bad issue: circular to the shareholders saying that be bad ex- amined every paragraph of the prospectus; witness thought Protessor Blake’s first report was shown to him before the prospectus was issued; he did not know that according to the rate of extraction the ming would soon be “practically exhausted.”? Tho cross-examina- tion was then read. Witness had been a member of Parliament since 18€8; the mine was first called 1o his attention by Sturt, who was a gentieman of respect: bility, a colonel inthe Guards anda Member of Ps hame witness Grst met Park at Grant's offices, and was there introduced to him; there was consid. erable conversation, in which Purk dotailed thescheme of the company; witness knew from the begiiuing that Grant was a promoter of the company; there was no concealment of this turther than that Grant’s name did not appear in the prospectus; before witness consented to go in the Board he became satisfied that the connection of Geveral Schenck and Jay Cooke & Co, with the company was a sufficient guarantee of soundness. Mr. Chitten then read the miputes of tho first general meeting of shareholders, at which Mr. Anderson made a statement, This statement was of a highly satisfactory character, and the vendors were said to have acted in most straightiorward man- ner, There was some argument on the completion of the reading of these minutes, and before the readin, was concluded the Court took an adjournment until to-day, THE BRAZILIAN STEAMSHIP LINE. ‘There bas already appeared in the Hreatp a report of a sult growing out of an unsuccossiul attempt which had been made within the past few years to or- ganize a line ot steamers to ply between New York and Brazil, and up the Amazon Riv The suit was brought by John Landisman, one of the parties inte ested, to recover {rom Adolphus Hoffman, a co-worker in the enterprise, $10,000, which piaintif al- leged tho defendant had received on his ac- count ana appropriated to his own use, In responso to a friendly totogram from this city by plaintiff, to defendant in Germany, the latter immediately came to New York. He arrived here on Sunday and was met-by the plaintif! in company with an attorney, both of whom met him apparently as warm friends and took bia to the Sturtevant House. They eater- tained him until five minutes past twelve o'clock, when, just as ‘defendant had bidden them o hearty good night and was about toretire to his couch they called in a Deputy Sherif, who executed an order of arrest against his body, ‘granted by the Supreme Court, and an attachment against his prop. erty,’ granted by the Marine Court, both of which had been previously obtained in an- ticipation of the arrival of the unsuspecting immi- grant, Under the attachment they clenned bim out of baggage and pocket money, and by virtue ol the order of arrest they consigned him to Ludiow Street Jail in | detauit of $10,000 bail. When the deiendant recovered from bis surprise at this Kudden change of front by bis supposed iriends, he sought the ard of Nichoins’ Hill Fowler, au attorsey, Who in turn sought the aid of Mr. Henny ©. Denniron, as counsel to extricate hint from the entangiements of the jaw in which he found himself, A few days since Mr, Dennison argued a motion betore Judge Brady, in Supreme Court, Cham- bere, to vacate the order ol arrest made on This motien was the grounds that the claim of the plaiotd ; that the defendant had been seuion of the Courtin order to and that plain- rest and attach- im, Judge Brady ‘ull cou ment, en though le had a just ¢ ranted the motion and the prisoner was discharged, | n the same case a motion was made by Mr. Dennison on bebalt of defendant, in Marine Court, Coam- bers, yesterday, to vacate the attachment which h by that Court, = This by counsel, on — the to have been into the jurisdiction of the Court by the plains tatibe time the attachment issued defendant 0 property here, and that the action being for conversion the Code made no provision for an attuch- ment. In opposition it was contended that the ap- pearance of defendant in the action conferred jurisdic. tion on the Court. Ip repiy counsel for the doiendant argued that tho decision of Judge Brady, in the Su- prene Court, vacating the order of arrest was con- trolling on the Marine Court to vacate the attachment. Judge Sinnott took tho papers, reserving his A MIXED UP CASE. The stay of proceedings recently granted by Judge Robinson, following the trial belore bim of the suit brought by Kaufman Simon against Judson G. Worth and others, subsequent proceedings have developed rather an interesting state of facts, On a motion argued yesterday before Judge Van Huesen at special term of the Court of Common Ploas, to set aside an order vacating the stay of oxccution upon the judg- ment granted by Jud; Robinson, such vacat- ing order being originally granted by tho latter Judge, yoluminous batch of attidavits was read vy the opposing coansel, Mr. 8, C. Conable appearing tor Mr. Simon and Mr. Paul Faller for Mr. Worth. The afidavits developed hog estimate in certain quarters of the choracter of Mr, id marvellous powers of invective and dramatic delinea- tion by ex-Judge Curtis, the former counsel of Mr. Worth. To make the case clear should be stated that in December last Mr. Simou, who ts a lawyer, was accused by Mr, Worth of stealing from his store, at No, 18% Duane stree various account books and 60,000 } that Mr. Simon waived examination betore police magistrate and gav> ‘bail to answor, and that shortly afverward, on the tea, . Worth, the Graud Jury found two in- dictments against Mr, Simon tor grand and petit lar- ow. Inu Mr. Simon bad entered a suit against Worn to test the ownership of the propert, and in November last the case was tried betore Jud Robinson anda jury. Mr. Simon was awarded a ver- dict, and, with Judge Robivs: ceedings, bo went before Judge Sutherian indictment against him was cancelled, First in order in the proceedings yesterday was read the aM@davit of Mr. Worth explaining how the stay was obiained and justitying his own conduct in the premises throughout. In the aMdavit of Judge Curtis the latter stateu that Worth bad told him that he cousidered it ‘a Christian duty to cheat a lawyer.” He then adds further on that, im view of the course taken by Mr. Worth as regards himself, “he must protest against that audacity which in Worth makes Fascality a virtue and arraigns its victims for criti- cism.’’” Mr, Worth, in addition to bis aifidayjts, sub- mits some of the letters sent him by Judge Curtis, which likewise are eminently churacteristic. In one of these letters the Judge writes:—*-My clerks have or- ders to eject you if you mtrude your toath- some carcass in my piace.’”” He then asks Mr. Worth to ‘show it to Judge Robinson, and that gent! map will not tolerate you or y jany.”’ ln anoiner letter appears this advice:—‘Worth, 1 want no more of your rascally tricks or lies,” and in a subsequent one, “Know this, that no weeping, no lies, no cunt dence game wiil avail you.” Most of these letters, it should be stated, embody a demand for money, but this Judge Curtis explains by giving a statement of ‘the fact of his prosecuting several suits for Mr, Worth and a jal indebtedness by Mr. Worth to him for such legat es, Agastill lurtner counterblast Judge Curtis produced the affidavits of various parties, ta which euch states that they would not believe Mr, Worth under oath, The end of the matter was a grant~ ing of five days in which to make a case on motion for a new trial. Meantime, as already stated in the Heraip, Simon has brought suit against Worth for timony of ,000 damages for malicious prosecution, Altogether . is a mixed up case, THE “BABA” BURST-UP. The copartnership troubles among the recent | of Nibio’s Theatre and consequent further non-presen- tation of the spectacular drama, Baba,” promisis to be axerious source of litigation. The publishers of the Sun claim that Messrs. Charles E. Arnold, Charles B. Stoughton and John McCool, the lessees referred to, wound up their dramatic management wilh ap indebt- edness to the Sun of $169 25 for advertising. Applica- tion was made yesterday to Judge Davis, im Supremo Court, Chambers, for an attachment against the prop- erty of the gentlemen named It is stated in the aMdavit forming the basis of the Application that the defendants are about to dispore of their property with intent to cheat their creditors; that Arnold called at the Sun office and stated that x 0 posscasion of the property and pro- Baba,” comprising the copartner- ship property; shat "McCool had prevented the entrance of Arnold & Stoughton into the the- atre and prevented them (rom having anything to do with the copartnership property, und that such property was likely to be dissipated and placed boyond the roach of the crediturs. Forming a part of the papers is an affidavit of Heury Dazian in a similar suit brought by other parties against tbe same de- fondant. Mr, Daziun states that be called upon Mr. McCool at the theatre and requested payment for various goods sold to the defendant and that McCool told him that he was not responsible, but that he would have tolovk to Arnold & Stoughton tor his mo- McCool said that bo ‘-did not care a damn plaintiffs closed up the shop or not” (meaning the th that he atterwurd called on Arnold in regard to getting his pay, when the latter informed him that MoLool was a partuer with bimand Stoughton, but that McCool had changed ail the locks to the theatre and prevented them froin entering the place. Upon the state of tacts given above the appli- cation for an attachment was grauted, ‘4 QUIMBO APPO AT THE BAR. The Chinaman, Quimbo Appo, aged fifty-four years, who stabbed and killed Jobn A, Kelly at the Howe Lodging House, No. 192 Chatham square, on October 21, was arraigned at the bar of the Court of General Sessions, Part 2, yesterday for trial, Judge Gilder- sleeve presiding. Assistant District Attorney Herring appeared on thoiart of the prosecution and the pris- oner was defended by Mr. William F. Howe. Tbe evidence duced showed that on the nignt in question the prisoner and the deceased were accom- modated with rooms at the establishment mentioned. Meeting each other shortly after midnight on the sec- ond landing they became cugaged in an altercation, woen Kelly struck bim and pushed him down stairs. ‘The prisoner then went iuto a room on the office floor and satdown, Presentiy Kelly catne down and, as al- leged, struck bim again, when Quimbo Appo rose up, tof retreating turned round and From the effects erward. In his de- fence the prisoner testitied that Kelly had beaten him 1o a brutal manner and that the act was done in seif- defence, The counsel will sum up this morning. SUMMARY OF LAW CASES.

ANOTHER LEGAL STUMBLING BLOCK IN THE WAY—IMPORTANT DECISION BY THE COURT OF APPEALS. ‘Tho oppouents of rapid transit scom to be successful in the courts. In the snit brought by John Patton aguinst the New York Elevated Railroad Company to restrain the defendants from constructing a switch or turn out tn tront of his hotel on Greenwich street, it will be remembered that Justice Daly, before whom the caso was tried at Special Term of the Court of Common ''leas, reudered a decision adverse to the road, op the ground that the act uoder which the Toad was Doing constructed and operated was unconstitutional, ‘This decision was affirmed by Judges Robinson aud Van Brunt at General Term of that court. Au appeal was taken from this decision to ihe Court of Appeals, before which tribunal the case was argued by General ?ryor on behall of Mr. Patton and ex-Judge Emmet and the allroad company. ceived yesterday by neral Pryor from Albany stating that the appeal had been dismissed on the ground that an appeal could not be taken to that court from an order of the General Term of the Court of Common Pleas, but only from an order of Supreme Court, General rm. General Pryor iy this point; citing the code ag his authority, whom tho subject of an appeal was first broached on bebaif of the Tai!road, The opposing counsel, however, seemed to take a different view of the case. The result bas been a delay of the final adjudication of the important quos- tions raised. General Pryor says that the effect of the dismissal of the appeal by the Coart of Appeals is to continue the injunction granted by the Court of Com- mon Pleas, aud he gives tt further as his legal opinion that such injunction cannot be remove peal being impossible now on the dismi: peal already taken.
