Testamentary Vagaries of a Well Known New York Lawyer. of a legacy. 1 do 1 JUDGE FLANAGAN’S DEFENCE. | Press Club of the ¢ ‘The Nutmeg State seems to be as liberal in furnish. ing parties to divorce suits as its luws are liberal in facilitating them. One more, now on the Circuit cal- endar of the Supreme Court of this city and liable to be reached any day for trial, is to be added to the num- ber in which reciprocity between New York and Con- Resticut has been duly observed, In many divorce suits heretofore tried New York has furnished the par. tes and Connecticut the laws. 1n this the lator State may properly be said to furnish the parties while the former furnishes the laws About tho year 1855 a young.and blooming dark-eyed widow, belonging to an excellent family in Duchess county, this State, and not far out of her teens, was a guost at a New York hotel, There sho met by chance Arthur = Terry, then almost three times her age, but still sturdy, florid and confident He was ® widower aod unencumbered by children; sbe was equally unburdened, But two months’ acquaintance | ‘Was necessary to satisfy both that they wero aflinities, Snd marriage was the result, But, notwithstanding there was uo formal and final outbreak or separation between the parties untilalittle over a year ago, the course of their true Jove did not always run smoothly Up to that time, In 1863 be commenced a sult for divorce against her in tho State of Connecticut, but When it was reached tor trial he failed to prosecute With the necessary testimony, and his complaint was dismissed, This temporary breach was bridged over nd and thoy lived ior some ti hergafter in Stam- ford, Conn., until he concluded to emigrate to Mexico. He was a photographer, and went to Mexico tor tho paseo of establishing the same business there, und thither she accompxnied him. In a small town near the coast they halted tor some time, at the end’ of which be proposed to go into tho interior. He told ber she might accompany bim, but coupled his per- Mission with the comlorting assurance that if she did she would not tive six months, Whether hor death Was to occur as the result of Mexican rebel bullets or bandit’s atilettu, tatiguo, fever ur his kind treat- ment, he never condescended to enlighten her. He ave her the alternative, however, to return to Now York and receive an allowance of $40 a month jor her support, Thisshe accepted, and for about one year she received the allowance, when the arrange- ment was unexpectedly broken up by the Servico of papers on her im a divorce suit, This “service of. papers was the fits. notice she bad of her busvand’s return from Mexico, The suit Was based on a charge of adultery with one Roge hailing from the far off State ot Georgia, She imme. diately resented this charge by putting in an wnewer do- | nying it, and ut the same time commenced a cross | suit lor limited divorce from oim on the ground of cruel and inhuman treatment ou bis part, This treat ment consisted of striking her, knocking ber down, and inbospitubly locking her out of his room. Such, 1m substance, are the charges and counter charges be- between the partics, as disclosed in the ploudiugs in both suits, ‘The noxt move was a motion on her part for an order, of court directing him to pay a fecin botn Suite to her counsel, and muke her a suit- able weekiy allowance ag alimony, This was sent to a referee for the purpose of takgig testimony as tothe husband’s means and re- port what would bea proper sum for him to pay. The Teteree reported in favor ot $50 a week alimony and $250 in each suit us counsel fee, The Court confirmed the report and sn order was entered in conformity therewith. By this time Terry had ceased to be acces- | wivle for tho service of papers on him anda copy of | the order was served on luis counsel under provisions of the revised code to that effect. But this service | brought no money, and on proper upplication to the Court ‘an attachment was issued against Terry’s body. Detectives employed on the purt of the wile were put on the track of the missing husband. After some time Spent in diligent search he wus discovered to have been &n inhabitant of a cloud—St, Cloud, but had taken tight tor other and unknown regious just betore his nest had been discovered. Sinco then he has re- mained unattached to his wite and unattached to the court, If he puts in an appearance when the trial is reached this question of alimony, counsel toe and costs will, bo joo mg 8 ecure him a cordial reception ike irom his wite, her counsel und the Sheriff, Be- fore the retoreo witnesses trom Mexico were produced who gave teatinony to the effect that’ the wife had been seen while in that country riding and walking out with gentlemen otber than ber husband, This, the husband asserted, was without his permission, al- though he admitted that he gave his permissien on one occasion, It seemed to ve anticipated that the husband’s witne-s (Rogers), or some evidence trom him, would be presented to the ref. ec, but neither appeared, and it is now sserted that not only has Rogers nothing worth testle tying to, but that even tt he bad, be bas been ina doubttul mental condition to do so. rejomder to the wife’s charges of violonce it would seem the hus- Daud also l@ churzes of violence against ber, com- mitted tn Sexico. It was violence committed on bis trauk, however, and bis only reason for charging his wile with the act was that, though it was broken open, nothing was stolen thereirom. ‘I'be wilo, who is rep- resented by her friends to be as innocent of the charges ngainst her as she is stylish in person and in- teiligent in mind, 1s said to await impatiently the ap- proaching contest in the court, while her husband aoubtiess 1s photographing other aud different scones somewhere in space, A TRINITY CHURCH EVICTION SUIT. Some important questions affecting tho rights of lessors in bunkruptcy proceedings were argued yestor- day before Judge Blatchford, in the Bankruptcy Court. Ic appears that in 1872 Trinity church leased to tne Greor-Turnor Sugar Kefining Company a large parcel of land on Greenwich, King and Charlton streets, in this city, The rent reserved was $5,000 per yoar and taxes. The lesseo purchased of a previous tenant the structures and fixtures on tho demised promises and paid $10000 for them. Trinity church never owned these improvements, and they had been put on the Property solely for the purposo of carrying on the business of sugar refining, Tho Greer-furner Com. pany tailed early in 1876, and an assignee in bank. raptey, Mr, Cox, was appointed in November, 1 No rent has been paid w irmity church since y 1876, and the taxes have remuatmned paid since 1873. In January, 1877, Trinity church began sutnmary procecdings in ejectment aguinst the Greer-turner “Company and its assignee. Judge Biatehtord enjoined those proceedings, and yesterauy & Motion of Trinity charch to vacate that injunction and tu permit the dispossession to proceed caine on to | be heard, It was conteuded by Mr. Nasn, tor Trinity | church, that by the terms of tho lease the Greer-Tar- ber Company tad fortested its imterest in the build. ings, which were held as security for the rent; tbat | the only right the tenant had to remove buildings | accrued to it under the lease, and that inasmuch us there were lurge arrearages of rent the Bankrupicy Court would regard the lanalord as entitled to the possession of tho land, and to the right of holding the siructures to realize the rent, or he was willing to have the ssignee remain in possession upon payment of ail the buck rent. Mr, Patterson, for the assignee, cou. tended that under tho Revised Statutes of the United | Siates there could no jonger be any suminary eject. Gent by alandiord ag against & Lenunt or assignee of tenant In bankruptcy; that tho property was in the bands of (he Baokruptcy Court, and ali rights and temedies must be aajusted und administered there, and that even if the Court had discretion to relogue the cause toa State tribunal ib woud not exeretse it in this case, because upon the papers presented, cou. SMrued in the light of weil setiled principles of law, 1b was evident a contest impended Lewween the agsignce and Trinity church as tw tho oOwuersbip of the butidings, ‘Tbe assignee claimed bis Fight to those buildings at common law and not under the lease, which merely gave a permission to remuy, whoreus the right to removal was quite separable trom 4by permission or concessivn of tue lessee, tae burld- ings having been erected merely tor tne purposes ot | trade and having been paid for by the Greer-Turner | Company, As to the rent tu arrears it was ciated (hat could only be proven as « geveral debt, Judge biatch. | ford remarked that the questions raised were very Lice and important and requires caret! consideration, He took the papers and reserved his decision, Messrs. G. M. Oguen aud Stephen P. Nash appowred for Trinity church and Messrs, Charles M.

Evident proof of this is given in the making of wills by lawyers, specially so | in the case of the wiil of Uhe Inte Lord St. Leonards, | the eminent English judge and jartst, drawn up by lis | daughter at his d:etation, with many exampies in this country, notably in the case of the Inte Judge McCuno, Another instance of the trath of the adage 1s pre- sented iu the will of the late William Jay Huskett, alaw. yer of this City for many years, who died some tew wmontisugo.

The first codi- | ciltothe will is dated November 7, 1874, two days after the date of the will. it inciudes a bequest to the New York Press Club, which ts described as tollows:— “[ am mformed that there is @ society composed of | young men connected with tho public press, and as in | early lite | was connected with the papers, 1 have a keen recollection of the toll and trouble that bubbled then and ever will bubble for the toilers of the world | 1m their pottage caldron, and as | desire to thicken with a little gavory herb their thin broth in the shape weby bequeath to the New York y of New York $1,000, payable on the death of Mra.

The testator states bis reason for this change in his will, evidently snowing that he was not actuated by the kindost feelings to the principal testatrix, JUDGE FLANAGAN’S VINDICATION. ‘There was argued at some length yesterday, before Judge Sutherland, a motion to quash the indictment against Judge Flanagan, of tho Tenth Judicial district, in regard to the appointment of enographer in his court, Messrs. John McKeon, W. F. Kintzing and John P, O'Neill appeared for the motion and District Attorney Pheips in opposition, The District Attorney, in support of lis position, argued that section 95 of the Charter of 1873 applied to this case, which pro vides that any officer of the city government shall be Mable to certain penalties. Mr. McKeon said that the defendant was not an officer under the Corporation, but was a State oificer, and referred to article 6, sec- tion 18, of the amended vonstitution of 1870, wherein Gistrict court justices are especially provided for, and then recited other decisions, such asthatof Quinn against the Mayor, holdin; by the decision of urt of Appeals, that the defendant Flanagan is a officer and not a municipal or charter oiticer, This being the case, there can be no other reason, he insisted, than an absolute quashing of the indictment, thus vindicating the defendant Flanagar. The Di: trict Attorney stated in open court that no charge w: made againat Judge Fianagan that he ever received a penny of Haskin’s salary, It follows from the arucle Of the constitution and ‘section before reterrad to thit Judge Flanagan has been the injured instead of the offending party. The whole thing 1s alleged to be the result of political conspiracy if not blackmail. It is claimed on the part of Judge Flanagan that Benjamin F, Haskin, the stenograaher appointed by bim, baa at alltimes during the term of his office pertormed all Jegal duties incumbent upon him, in pres ot which Mr, Haskin was present in court to verify the same, THE STILWELL ACT AGAIN, An important point of law has been raised in the proceedings taken by the opposing creditors of Gold- stein Brothers, bankrupts, in which the United States have been mado plaintiffs and the States’ courts dee fendants, Haines, Buzon & Co, filed a petition in bankruptcy against Goldstein Brothers and thereon procured their arrest under a ‘‘Stilwell’’ warrant issued by Juage Donohue, of the Supreme Court, Mr, David Levontritt, counsel for the Goldsteins, apphed to Judge Blatchford, of the United States District Court, for a perpetual injunction prohibiting the op- posing creditors, Haines, Bacon & Co., trom prosecut- ing or attempting to prosecute proceeaings under that warrant of arrest, Counsel for the bankrupts yester- day presented to Judge Blatchford the pee tution of the Goldsteins for such an injunction, at the same time contending that the action of the opposing creditors under a misapplied Sanction of the Stilwell warrant was oppressive and opposed to tho true intent of the law on this case, and appealing for the intercession of the powers of the United States courts in the premises. Mr. Richard 8. Newcomve, counsel for the opposing creditors, in r ply, ted that he was unprepared to answer the plication and the argument of counsel in support, and asked tho Court for an adjournment for a week (0 en- able him to answer the poiut raised and otborwise to Ineet the ‘nice questions of law’’ involved in the ap- ication fora porpetual injunction. Judge Biatch- ford granted the request on condition that Mr. New- combe should conrent to the granting of the injunc- tion restraining ali proceedings under the warrant Aguinst the Goldsteins until he had finally passed upon the application submitted, A temporary in- junction was accordingly yranted, so that Judge jondhue’s warrant is of no effect inthe meantime, David Leveohill, couusel for the Goldsteins; Newcombe for the creditors.

OUR DIRTY STREETS. | VIEWS OF MAYOR ELY UPON 4 PLAN OF CLEANING—THE HERALD'S POLICY IN- DORSED. The sum of $725,000 is appropriated to clean the Streets of the city of New York during 1877. This large amount is under charge of the Police Commis- sioners, and they have exclusive control of the impor- | tant work, How these onerous duties have been dis- chargea is a very material question agitating the minds of all our citizens atthe present moment. We eon the threshold of spring, in tact her warm and valmy breath is already felt, The time will not bo Jong 1p passing until the torrid sun beats down on our fetid thoroughiarcs. Two thousand dollars « day can be spent by the Police Department in giving us clean streeta, Is tho whole of this money so lavishly appropriated by the Board of Apportionment con- tributed for such purposes? Can the work bo better’ done in other ways thau through the machinery of the Polico Commission? ‘These aro points which the Hexatp bas canvassed particularly within the pust few days, MAYOR RLY’S VIEWS, A representative uf the HxRatp called upon Mayor Ely at his office yesterday to ascertain bis views upon this important subject: “Do you think the present plan of cleaning our streets could be improyed upon?’ be was asked, “Well, 1 think the peace of cleuning the streets by different precincts would ve an-excellent oue. Con- tracts might be given out to each precinct and the con- | tractor heid directly responsible for the discharge of his datics, It would be u simple matter for ladies or genticmen, if the street in front of their premises had not been properly cleaned, to make @ complaint at the nearest station house.” “Do fat not think it would be an improvement to bring the Street Cleaning Bureau immediately under the control of the Mayor's office?" “1 do not feel at liberty to persoually urge the Legis- lature to give me any additional powers, Whatever duties are delegated to me as Mayor | will discharge to ‘the utmost of myability. 1am of the opinion that all the streets might be as well cleaned under one contruc- tor us under several, Ono individual migtt be held to @ strict accountavility Woen a number might compli. cate responsibilities. ’” *+How ugto tbe removal of snow?” “I think the ratlrouds might be compelled by legisia- tive enactment to remove the snow trom each side of toeir railroad tracks, Branch tracks might ve laid to the North and bast rivers from a fow leuding points, upon which open cars laden with the snow could bo run, and thus dumped into the Water. This would prove a great saving to the city."”” “Do you approve of the pian to ll in the marsh lands sont ‘ard’s and Randall's islands with street Fefuse ?? “Certainly. [understand there is no objection to tho plan. soe it slated that it will save over $100,000 Besides she health authorities bavo proved of the scheme. This should bave been thought of before, A great deal of exponse 1s now in- curred in conveying the refuge out to sea upon scows, Of course, this labor could be obviated if deposits were mude upon the marsh lands."” in your opinion is $72,000 sufficient to keep the streets of New York 1p a good, healthy condition?” “That amount ts ample. 1t ought to cover all neces- sary expenditures, This subject of street cleaning is of ‘the greatest importance, 1t affects not only the hoalth of our large population, but the advancement of the city itself. Tho first thing that strikes a stranger on arriving in a city is the condition of the streets. If thoy are dirty anu ely created upon the miuds of the vigitors, which is carried to ull pafts of the world. I entirely agree with the idoas of the Heraup as to this street cleaning con troversy and can give them the fullest indorsemeat.’” @ yeur to the cit; MUNICIPAL NOTES, Captain Walsh, of the City Hall police, says that he can not do anything tn the case of Russell & Co., No, 37 Bond street, against whom charges bave deou tosin- uated through letters to Mayor Ely until a complaint from some aggrieved party 18 lodged with him. Comptroller Kell; terday sighed warrants amount- ing to $78,363 64, the sum of $63,471.48 being on ac- count of lamps and gas, ‘The Produce Bank, of which Mr. Samuel Conover ig president, bus been designated as one of the deposito- ries for city fund WHAT IS THE MATTER? John A. Stewart, now President of the United States Trust Company, No, 49 Wall street, was appointed receiver of the Bowery Bank, November 4, 1857— almost twonty years ago—and has not yet made a com- plete settioment with the stockholders of that institu. | tiou. He admits that he has a final dividend for the stockholders, but for some reason unkoown he has delayed to. make an accounting, although promising repeatedly to do so. His singular conduct 1s inciting inquiry among the contiding stockholdersas to the cause of hiv actions. Indeed, it 18 unuerstood that the less paticnt of the stockbolders are cuusidering the pro- priety of taking some action to compel Mr, Stewart to account for his tardiness.

You can preach better sermons with your life thah with your lips. No honest work, however humbie, can disgrace an honest mau, It ia always woll to bo charitable in your judgments, 8, 1877—QUADRIPLE SHEET. A good man once said of a criminal, [lle hodie, ef go evas—be full to-day, but I may fal! to-morrow, A poetical brother of the tinted persuasion has asked | S question which may make the pale(aces grow paler | bill: W'en de nashuns of de earth is astanum al! aroun’, Who's a-guine ter be chosea for ter w'ar the glory crown?

After reading the above, which is wanting more in metre than in sense, our eye caught the refrain, whiels a8 4 bit of revival earnestness is oot to be surpassed :— No use ter be stoppin’ an’ a-lookin’, Ef you fool wid Satan you'l! g You'll hang ou de edge an’ g Et you keep on a-stoppin’ an 3 Our complimentary phrases are sometimes, to say the least, a little exuberaut, A parishioner, who | thought nothing too good for his pastor, gave him a pul in the county paper, and after making him an | Apollo in person and a Paul ip eloquence, adde “and he will probably orcupy @ corner reom in the house not made with hands,” That minister ought to be ou extibition. It seems to be a contradiction, but tt Is nevertheless true, that if you have a bad temper the best thing you can do is to-lose 16. The force ofa compliment depends largely on the Perspicuity of the language in which it is expressed, When you say, “That was a splendid sermon,” there ‘sno Delphic incoherency about it, and the minister who hears you ought to feel encouraged. But when you sayof a man to whom an accident has occurred that “under the skilful care of his physician he lived Just ten days,’ you have the merest shadow of a doubt whether that physician is tho proper person to give you medicine or not Dr, Slade, who could summon spirits from the vasty deep at $5 per angelic bead, is not unlike ordinary mortais iu that he was unwilling to go to prison, and in that, being in the British gervice without pay, ho desires to be released trom the wholesome but homely fare of that class of the Quoen’s subjects. [tis said of him that on one occasion he called into this nether world tho soul of an atheist, who, when the question was put, “What do you think of the otber life now?” replied, with a logic quite befitting the whole occur- rence, “There isno other life; I wiways thought so, and tried to prove it to you. You were stupid and would’nt believe it; but now | have found out to a certainty that! was right, and when you dio you will find ft out too ” Politicians torm a target at which every tyro may throw bis lance with impunity, It is rather asad comment on the next grandest science to that of the- ology that its disciples are universally looked upon with suspicion, Politics are a boiling cauldron, in which the scum ts apt to come to the top, was sald oace; and although it excoriates the throat to say it yet it isa just criticism, In the midst of a great po- litical excitement a clergyman gave out the hymn, “strike the Kesounding Lyre,” and a celebrated office- holder immediately dodged and preparea to deena himself. The buman conscience, in these guttapercha times, has an admirable if not an awlul elasticity. Marie Celvet concluded to murder her sister Julie forthe sake of a few hundred francs, whicn her greater thrift hadsaved, She was arrested, and at last sentenced by a hard-hearted judgo to twenty years of prison life, At one time the Judge was on the point of relenting. He @aw that Marie was in tho deepest black. Perhaps these weeds are for a great aflliction, he thought, and under the aberration of grief she has committed this touldeed. 3u ho suid, **Marie, 1 see you are dressed in black. Pray, tell me, whois it fort’? She looked at tho Judge with a sad and tearful glance, and replied with asigh, ‘Your Honor, it ts for my poor sister Jutio.”” Thero is many a clergyman who 1s altogether too ill to go through tho fatiguing duties of pastoral life, but who 18 quite strong enough to take a trip to Europe, It 18 acurious{act, but itis nevortheless true, that it re- quires more strength to make parish calls for a week than to spend the same length of time in wandering trom gallery to gallery through the Louvre, The first brings the minister to his bed with a sick headache, and the latter brings him to a restaurant where he discovers the extent of an American appetite. We often think of it with a sigh of sympathy that there are mult!- tudes of clergymen so weakened by yeurs of arduous toil that they have not strength enough left to refuse a trip tothe Continent the coming summer. An ex- periment will attest the truth of what we assert. It is not strange that some of our churches should be open to the charge of exclusiveness, They are so costly, and tho minister and choir, or the choir a::d min- ister, for you cannot alw tell which to put first, aro 80 expensive that one is compelled to welcome a rich man more warmly than a poor one, We always give the heartiest welcome to the most availablo material, A minister once preacbed—such a minister as bas been described—on the subject of recognition of friends in heaven. A sunple minded man came to him after the sermon and said, “Pastor, 1m glad we shall recognize each other up there. It will boa great change though, for l've beon to your church now going on four years and not a per- son has recognized me.” There are two things which have surprised 'y man that bas lived tn turn—First, how it can be pos- sible that ho was over so small as the newly born babe which the nurse puts juto his arms, and second, how he came to stop growing when he got close to six fect high. It ts a curious law that gives us our start and an equally curious law that puts the check on when wo fall headway and dling out and filling up, Thys far and no farther.” Tho beginning ana the stopping are equally wonderiul, ‘The religious papers are discussing the best way to pronounce the benediction. Let the minister so pronounce it that he includes himself in its prayer. A great many ministers say, ‘The Lord be with you,” when they ought to say, “The Lord be with us.” We are all travolling togethor, and what one wants all want, There isa larger mattor in connection with Protestant worship which ought to be criticised to the hilt ofthe sword. It is the habit of getting ready to go out of church while the benediction is being uttered, One man puts on his coat, another fumbles after bis hat and still another stands in’ the aisie in as great eager. ness ad though the word ‘‘amen’’ were the equivalent of the word “go,” Itisa painful thing to bolt one’s food, but to bolt one’s religion and then bolt for the door is neither just to one’s self nor decorous toward the offices of religion, It seems to be a@ bit difficult to raise the money necessary to the completion of Rev. Joseph Cook's lectures in Boston, tng, and the lectures are only halt through, and it may be legitimate to say under tho circumstances that the course is only half couked. Boston can hardly take caro of moro than one genuine sensation ata time, Mr, Moody has crept right into the people’s hearts, and Mr. Sankey, like a troubadour of old, has sung bis Way into the stronghold of rationalism, Bos ton Unitarianism bas struck its flag and old-fashioned orthodoxy 18 carrying all before it, Throats get worn in certain directions, just as the public park does, English surgeons assert that there is a Dissenting sore throat and « Church of England sore throat, It is not caused by any difference in theology or in picty, bot, in the case of tho Dissenter by the trritation of loud and monotonous speaking, and in the case of the Establishment by the assump- tion of a mode of utterance which 1s supposed to be very dignified and aristocratic, the tones being manu. factured in some cavernous and sepulchral depths into which common people never intrude. There ig a great deal of religious faith in the world that will not stand the test of experience. Ono day a ship was caught in a severe gale, A woman, fright. ened beyond reasou because sho was very likely to goto heavon in a few hours, went to tne captain and said, “Captain, do you think wo shail weather the storm?” He replied with great gravity, “Madam, we must trust in God.’ Sho threw her hauds up in consternation and exclaimed, ‘On, dear! Are we so badly off as that?” She was o fair reprosentative of some Christians. They talk about heaven as thoagh it were the most desirable place in the universe, but they are not at ali anxious to explore its glories, They talk about trust in God, but, asin the above, whem that is all they have to trust to they don’t seem to regard it as of any great account, MINISTERIAL MOVEMENTS, waPTisT, The Rev.
