MARRYING FOR MONEY. Daniel S. Youngs, being a widower somewhat ad- need in lite, felt a strong deajre to re-enter the mat- Fimonial estate, and with such view entered into an engagement of marriage with a young woman twe three years of age. His two grown up daughters Btoutly protested against the marriage, and in order to pacify them he decded his property to them, com- prising real estate valued at some $50,000, Having thes made his peace with his daughters he married the object of his second choice It turns out, however, that his mode of pactication was not at all relished by his young bride. She married, as she atter- Ward frankly stated, for his money, and when sho found that he had, unknown to her, made away with tbe bulk of nis property, a change came over the spirit of her dream. she brought suit against Mr. Youngs to fet aside the conveyance, on the ground that he had no right to dispose of her inchoate right of dower, At the trial of the case judgment was given in her favor, An appeal was taken from this judgment to the Su- preme Court, General Tert:, where the case was yes- terday argued ut sideravie length. It waa claimed George W. Lord, who appeared on benaif ughters, wvat under the statutes | 28 FIELD, Foreman. commonly called pools a Wifo 1s only entitled tw dower in the real estate of which tho busband is seized during overture, and that | there is nothing in the statute in refetence to dower prohibiting person under engagement of inarriage from conveying at any time betore the marriage his Teal estate. Another point raised was tbat a wile has no right to sue for aower while her husband was livin, ‘The opposing counsel, Messrs, Marsh aud Wallis, co tended that on well settled principles any conveyance of his property to his children or other parties by a man on the eve of marriage and keeping such conve: ance secret 1s traudnleut, and cheating her out of her right of dower. It was insisted, further, that the wife ‘was entitied to maintain ber action betore the death of Pher husband, because otherwise she would be without remedy, ad that it was the duty of the Court to pro- | tect an’ inchoate right of dower. ‘The Court, atthe close of the argument, took the papers. THE LAWRENCE CASE AGAIN. | Charles I, Lawrenge, the noted Custom House smuggler, on the 26th of May, 1876, pleaded guilty | to an indictment charging him with the ‘Bland- ing” forgery, on which sentence was sus. pended, At the same time there was ai other action against him in the United States | District Court to recover a debt of $1,356,400 due the government. This action should have been discon- tinued, but owing to an oversight of the District Attor ney this formal proceeding was forgotten, and th owission Was not until yesterday discovered. La Tence is and has been for some time giving informa- tion to the government against certain parties, and | when his services shali have ended in the informer’s | line be will be arraigned and sentenced for the oflences | to which he has pleated guilty, but his punishment | will be mitiguted in view of the services he will nave thus rendered to the government. Mr. Bliss sent a formal order yesterday to the clerk of the Matrict Court instructing him to discontinue the action tor debt against Lawrence, THOSE YOUTHFUL ACROBATS, When an agent of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children visited several mouths ago a circus at Poughkeepsic, he thought the acrobatic feats of | three young boys, if persisted in, would retard their growth and in other respects prove permanently in- The names ot the three boys were Joseph Ponobue, Henry Ellis and Alired 1.

ABDUCTION AND MURDER FRUSTRATED BY A LOVER'S COURAGE—A SCHEME WORTHY OF TBE DARK AGES, The course of true love never did run smooth, and every day instances of the truth of this well known adage are occurring in this city, The story here re- lated was obtained from one of the actors in the drama, The actors are P. W. Radcliffe, a prosperous young tradesman; Anna Gauson, a young maiden of eighteen summers; her father and his agent, one Dela- roche, a Portuguese, and a lawyer who is known as V. D. Bale, but whose right to that name 1 disputed by Mr. Radcliffe, The drama, of which two acts bave now been played, may turn out yet to be a tragedy, The meideots, a8 told to & Hkkatp reporter yester- day, are as follows:— act THE FIRST. Some twelve or thirteen years ago Mr. Gi tive of Portugal, living at the time in this city, de- serted his wite and daughter Anna and went to Portu- gal, since which time be bas not contributed a single cent toward their support, and they have been com- pelled to earn their own livelibood by hard work, Time passed on and the daughter grew upto bea blooming and beautiful girl of eighteen. She w: courted by Radcliffe, and finaily, with tbe consent of her mother, they wore engaged to be murried, the wedding day berng set at no very distant date, Every- tnt med prosperous aud the young lovers Jooked lorward with feeiings of joy to the time when the priest should bless their love and link in wedlock. Buta little cloud, no bigger than a hand, showed itself on the horizon of the tir of their happin many years’ absence, suddenly reapps York about six months ago, aod by means of adve: Usements inserted ip the HxxaLv, which he sign “Garstone,’’ discovered where his deserted wile and daughter residing, He took tho later to the theatre and showed her other atten. tions, but bound her by a solemn oath not to reveal his presence here to her mother. The obedience und filial love of the daughter prompted her to obey, and she did not mention to her mother the fact of her father's arrival, but did tell her lover. Gauson then went buck to Portugal, but botore d parting he took into his contidence the lawyer, V. D. Bale, and one Delaroche, whom he brought with him from Portugal, fully commissioning them to curry out the scheme bis brain had coocerved—that of abducting the girl and taking her to Portugal, with what object can be imagined but is not reveled, ACT THE SKCOND, Balc senta note to Miss Gausou, askiug ber to see this Delaroche, She conseated, still regarding Dela- roche as her father’s iriend, and not dreaming of any harmn to herseif. Delarochy then visited Miss Gausoa at her residence and had a conversation witb her in which he represented himself ag in the full confidence ot her tather, and asked her to marry him, She de- clined the honor and he departed, The next day he sent her a bouquet of flow and shortly alter she, having occasion to go out in the street to purchase some necessaries for the family, met Dolaroche, who wus riding overed carriage. He stopped and ac- costed her and euld to her:—“You’ve got to go with me; you'vo got to be my wife; your father is dying in Vortugal.”” She again refused to marry bim‘and ho told her that he could easily poison her lover Radcliffe and hide his body so that it could never be found out and they could go away quietly together, and iu leaving her he said, “Lil give you till Friday next (that is, to-day) to con: sentto marry me,’? und threatened that, sbould she retuse, he would certainly poison Radclifie, The frightened girl immediately told her lover, who took mediate steps to protect himself and his attlanced ; He inserted an advertisement in a daily paper addressed to V, D. Balc, asking him to meet him at a specified place and time, and signed It F. J. Garsto: the ¢ which Mr. Guuson, the father, had assum: while here, but it had no effect, Mr, Bale having evi- ken the alarm. uson 1s now lying dangerously ill at her res- idence with brain fever, brought on by the shock to her nervous system and the {right occasioned by the threats of Balc and Delaroche against both Rad- cliffe and herself, How the case will result it is, of course, yet impossible to predict, but the nefarious designs of tho two agents of *Garstone”? being known, it is certain that they will be frustrated. Mr. Radciiffe is determined to spare no effort to apprehend and pun- ish the conspirators, DR. PHELPS DISCHARGED. At the sitting of the Court of General Sessions yes- terday, Part I., Dr. Charles Phelps, with bis counsel, Mr. John A. Foley, appeared to hear the deciston of the Court, Judge Gildersleeve sald :—Doctor, I shall bow dispose of your case, ‘Therocan be no doubt about the right of a witness when summoned belore the Grand Jury to | decline to answer questions that in his judgment will criminate him. The law will not compel a witness to conderan himaell, in some cases, bower the man- tle of immunity is not thrown over a w by the ute, and in such cases the witness may be com- pelled ‘to answer the questions, Ido not think the third section of the Duelling Act Gy tee to any of- fences except those created by the first two seciions, and since the inquirica by the Grand Jury seem to bo directed toward the oflences under the first two sec- tions I think the witness is clearly entitled to decline to answer the question when he places bis declination, as I pow understand he does, upon the ground of sell. crimination, 1, therefore, order that you be dis- charged trom custody. Dr. Phelps then bowed his acknowledgments and left the court. It is understood that the Grand Jury have abandoned the intention of making any further inquiries on this subject. % REMOVING ICE AND SNOW.

Yesterday’s Developments in the Wall Street Sensation. > SES BROWN AT THE TOMBS. The Hunt for the Unnamed Ut- terer—Who Is He? THE STORY OF THE GOLD CHECK. _——— The interest in the recent forgery grows apace. The arrest on Wednesday night of Horace E. Brown, lately @ broker at No, 35 Broad street, on the charge of com- Plicity in the crime, created a decided sensation in financial circles, and the successive developments of the ,case turpished a varying theme for discussion on Wall it. The boldness and skill with which the whole affair was mapaged are thrown iuto striking relief the more the matier is investigated, Signatures have been counterfeued belo od numbers have been altered with varying success, but it is believed that the forgery of a priva' check in its entirety bas rarely, if ever, been attempted til the = present case de- monstrated its practicability, The examination of Brown at the Tombs is given below, suggesting strongly his connection with the gang, ono of whom passed the $64,000 check on the Now York Life Insur- ance Company's paper, He appears to bave attempted, but failed, to transact a similar operation to that which succeeded with the unsuspecting Maxwell. The chief actor in the affair is evidently still at large, and his name cannot be procured for publication from thoze who know it. The tracing of the $9,500 gold check has led to tho belief that the person who gave it to Mr, Felters is the individual néw so much wanted. AT THE TOMBS, The prisoner, Horace KE, Brown, was brought tothe Tombs Police Court, before Justice Duffy, yesterday afternoon, He was accompanied by Captain Thomas bey ssh Detective, attached to the Stock Exchange, and Detectives Selleck und Doyle, of the Central OMce, Assistant District Attorney Russell appeared for the people, Wheeler H. veckham for the Union Trust Company, and William W.

BOMR OF BROWN’S NKGOTIATIONS, A very interesting story touching sume of the prisoner Brown's singular negotiations wus tod yes. verday 1, of ti frm of Greenleal, Norris & Co., bankers and brokers, corner of New stroct and Exchange place. Mr. Greenleaf stated that about a year ago Brown was introduced to tim asa responsible party, but by Brown proposed tor Mr. Greenleat’s consideration a rather delicate piece ol basiness, Which was, that the latter shouid enter into on agreement for the purpose of purchasing being wesets found in the posses- genn sold, and were then ip po: (whose name was not give: sponse to further inquiri deal of money could be made out of A CHATHAM STREET SUI. About that time Mr. Greenleal wa dosirous of pur- chasing particulur classes of securities, and Brown as-\ sured bim that they were to be found among tho lorger’s property, soon to be disposed of by Suerifl’s sale, No douvt the necessary amount of the requir: securities could bo had ata very reasonable figure, for the sule was advertised in an obscure corner of a paper baving @ small circulation, and was to take place in an out of the way place on Chatham street, The bait was certainly an alluring one, yot Mr. Greenleaf, sensibly enough, declined to nibble, and Brown left without being able to induce him toenter into such ® questionable piece of busi- ness asho believed this to be. Shortly afterward the | batch of bonds which bad been ordered for sale, as above ‘were sold, not in Chetharo street, as at first Intended, but in frout of the City Hall. MORE HONDS, Mr. Brown further assured Mr. Greenleaf that more of the same kind of paper was in tho Sherifl’s hands and would soon come under the hammer. As an ad- ditional inducement to enter into the business Brown ‘said that most of the securities had attached to them two or three years’ coupons for imierest, which would, of course, be collectible as soon as the bonds parsed into the bands of a bona fide purchaser, Brown fur- Bished w list of the securities which bad been disposed cf and those that then remained to ve sold, Stil) Mr. Groealeat could pot clearly see his way to enter into tbis tempting speculation, and he so told his visitor. He inquired who became the purchusers of the paper which bad been sold aeneoing to Brown’ tate ment) in front of the City Hull, He then jearned, to his utter amazement, that tho Union Trast Company bad been the purchasers, if Brown's story was to be believed, Naturaily anxious to get the stocks for which he was secking in the market Mr. Groen-eaf asked if that company was still in possession of the paper. Mr, Brown said that he believed go, for be bad seen a couple of hours ago, in the hands of Mr. King, president of this corporation, a rull of bonds simi in appearance to those sold in the strange manner here parrated. Shortly after seeing Mr. Greonleat the writer went over to the Union Trust Company’s offices at No. 75 Broadway, and was informed there by an officer of the company that, so far us they are concerned, the story of Brown was a wholesale fabrication; the company had never purchased securities of any kind at the City Hall or elsewuere in the way described by Brown, WHAT MR ULOOD 84S. It 19 understood that the Union Trust Company and also Mr, Blood’s triends on the Stock Exchange have | exonerated him from all blame or complicity in the | matter of the $9,500 check. Mr. Blood states that te went to Mr, Hatch to find out what iudorsements were on that instrument, That firm not having the check he went to the New York Bank, and there tound that ithad not been presented for payment, He returned to Mr. Hatch and requested that payment of the check be stopped, whicu was done wccordingiy. Mr. Blood immediately informed the Union Trust Company of what he had done, and they sent counsel down to verily his action in the premises, On Tues- bw A afternoon Mr. Blood learned that the check was aforgery. He got it from Mr. G. L. Maxwell, a notary public, Who had desk room in Mr. Blood’s office. Mr. Maxwelt left the check with him, and at the end of three days he invested it iu gold, the proceeds being given to Maxwell, ‘Tho latter recotved $50,000 at once, aud about the end of the week (5th inst.) Mr. Bloou gave bim tke balance, $9,500; which latter sum ig the amount on the tace of the check whose pay- ment has ben stopped. | MOW FAR TO FLY. | Detective McDougal said:—‘‘No, I have not been officially called into this torgery cage; but itis quite possible that one of these days there will be a story to tellin the Hxxanp, Idon’t think they have yet sot the man wanted. He ts lying close somewhere about the upper part of the city, When a “straight” man does anything wrong his impulse to run away as id astaras he can, but tho telegraph outsinps when a “crooked”? man is “wanted” be knows f than rua too far off; he just gets a little way ye of khot and shell uad lies quiet till the storm passes over.” THR GOLD CHECK, A salient point of inquiry in reference to the forgery being evideutty io regurd to the disposal uf the $9,600 gold check, drawn by the firm of W. t. Hatch & Co, upon tho Bank of New York, it was’ traced’ to the hands of tho ‘New York National Exchange Bank, at College lace and Chambers street. The President of the M Halstead, in answer to an inquiry as sentation of the check, gave the following unt of this important link in the chain of evi- ‘MK. HALSTRAD’S STATEMENT, He said’ that on Tuesday murning last one of the regular customers of the hank called upon him, im company with a stravger, whose name was given us Mr. Julius Kelter, of No. 1, Third avenue, Sir. Kelver was introduced to him as a gentie- man engaged 1u business with the Pequot Glass Com- pany, 01 New London, Conn., in whict he held a part- nership, Ashe had frequent business connections with tho glass commission meif of Murray street Mr. Keller was desirous of opening an account with a bank ip the neighborhood, and had, for that reason, applied to the National Exchange. As his first transaction with this bank, 1% was desifed to deposit a gold check, drawn on the Bank ot New York and cer- tilled by ite cashier, The check was indorsed by Mr. S. L. Blood, Mr, W. H. Beers and Mr. Julius Kelter. ‘The request was made that the National Exchange Bank should receive this check and, alter having dis- posed of 1 for its current valuo in legal tender notes, deposit the Jatter to the credit of Mr. Kelter. Al- though the check appeared regular in all respects Mr, Halstead preferred, as the depositor was a sifanger, to take the precaution of sending it to the k of New York to obtain the gold before crediung Mr. Kolter with the amount. A messenger was de- spatched and returned in a short time with the answor that the bank was not willing to cash the check un- Jess the National Exchange Bank would agree to guarantee the names of the indorsers, THE CHECK RETURNED, This the President was unwilling to do, although at that time he entertained no suspicion of any irrogn- Jarity or dishonesty im regard to the check. Mr. Kelter had Dot askod {or any immediate payment in gold, but merely wished the amount credited to his account, On its return by the Bank of New York the check was given to Mr, Kelter, with the statement that National Exchange Bank would not be willing to receive tt unless guarantees for the in- dorsers could be obtained. Mr. Halstead said to the porter that the bunk elt obliged to be careful in any Jurge transactions with strangers, although it was cer- tain that no loss could eusue, as In the present case, owing to the certification of the check, Evenun ordi- nary legal tender check would not be received on uc- posit unless the depositor was well known to the bank as a responsible person. It was evident that Mr. Kelter, whose namo, singu- larly euough, doos not appear in the city directory, was the next person to be found in order to tullow up tke | trail of the check. Alter some difficulty an interview ‘was obtained with him at his,residence, No, 1,257 Third enue, He was very unwilling to give apy informa. tuon on the mattor in question, he had been spe- cially enjomed by the Presiaent of the Union Trost Company bis lawyer to keep his lips sealed, When it represented to him, however, that the imperfect and ez parte statement of the Presi: dent of the Nutional Exchange Bank might bave a ten- deney to injure him if published, ne consented to say something tn expianation of his position. MK, KELTER’S STATEMENT, Ina fragmentary way the following tacts were ob- tained:—During some months past negotiations have been going on between him and a certain numeless per- n in reference to the purchase of an interest in a new firm which it was proposed to establish at New London, Coun., for the muanulacture of giuss. The | firm was to tuko tbe name of the Pequot Glass Com- pany, 1n some sense an assumption of the name of an | old frm which had discontinued business at New Lon don, nearly a year ago ‘The nameless gentiewan was an old acquaintance of Mr, Kelter’s, and had residea at Chicugo tul within a few months, when he had come | to this city to engage in business. | He had no practical | knowledge of the glass business, but proposed to enter | the firm as a partner who would furnish the capial | as a wet off to Mr. Kelier’s experience. Articles of | coparinership were finally agreed upon and drawn | up at the office of Mr. Montague L, Marks, No, | 1/6 Broadw on Monday las: ‘the un known furnish $9,500, und he did | so at time, the money being in the form of the identical check presented at tho Nasional Lxobange Bank on Tuesday, Mr. Kelter called and presented the check, a6 has becn retuted, and then, upon leaving the bank, brought the reject check to his friend with the message of the president, Mr, Hal- | stot, As to what occurred at their meeting, Mr. Kelter was very reticent, but it was gathered that bis friend (ook back the check without any special re- mark, and with fis return Mr, Kelter considered that he bad washed bis hands ot whole business, He was inclined to think that the publication of the pro- test of the check by Mr. Hatch had warned the person 1h whose possession it Was of its fraudulent character, | and that he, in consequence, hud made endeavors to get out of the way or conceal himself, The detective, Mr. Sampson, was informed of the unknown man’s | name and was now upon his track. Mr. Kelter thought that his recent partner might not be the gailty wav, but that he might have come into possession of tho check as inaocently as himself In that case, how- } ever, he would have no reason to sbrink from the in- ave done, The man’s not Brown, but he was not willing to be | fc on this point. There is Lo reason to sup- | § Mr. Kelter acted any ot! part im this | ction than that of @ man who was innocentiy ved. He has long been cbnnected with a weil known firm in New London, &nd no breath of suspj- cium bas ever been attached to him. His present ro- serve must be attributed to the injunctions and cau- tions Of other parties, and notat allto bis own wish to conceal anything which the public have aright to know, STEALING SAVINGS BANKS. | Richard Jackson, colorea, was brought belore Justice Duffy yesterday afternvon charged with stealing six toy savings banks, worth $18, the property of Will. fam A, Harwood, a merchant, of No, 121 Chambers street, He was sent to the Penitentiary tor six months, | FUNERAL OF FRANCIS A.
