Obme was detailed, with a squad of about twenty men, to keep order and the streets clear, The sidewalk near the residence of the dead priest becoming biocked up the roandsman was engaged in clearing it, In the pertormance of this duty among those he encountered was Mrs, Catharine Ledwith, Be- fore he had reached her and while pushing back others of the crowd she called the attention of a companion to bimwitn the remark, “See that red mouthed Mick.” Ho, it appears, heard this, and when he ap- proached her she says ho struck her in the breast with his fist, punched her violeutly and then ar- rested her, When he struck her she admitted si retaliated by hitting bim with ber parasol, From the statien house ehe wus takon before a police magis- trate and fined $10 on a charge of disorderly conduct and blocking up the strect. She clarmed that not only was her arrest without cause, but that the as- gauit on her was without provocation and unjustitl- able.

Ou the question of sobriety he plaintiff testified that she had never tasted liquor in her Iile, and severa! witnesses sald that on tbat day she was perfectly sober, a8 they had vlways seen her, Un the othor side Inspector Murray, Sergeant Webd aud the deiendant testified as experts in that line that they believed her to be intoxicated at tne time of her arrest. The roundsman ulso, wolie admitting tbat she haa made him angry, denied that he had dope anything more than push her back off the Huowalk, The evidence was yet incompicte when it Was proposed to adjourn, but some of the jurors suid they would profer to finish then if it would not tak too long. At once Mr. Howe proposed to submit the vse to the jury as it was without summing up. Mr, McLean was cqually prompt in accepting the propo- sition and the Court waived its rigbt to charge, ‘The jury retired ana alter prief deliberation gave plainufl u Verdict for $25, whieh carries alike amount of costs, From a quesiion put to plaintiff by one of the jurors it was evident that the ase ef her parasel tended to lessen tho amount of ber verdict.

Mr. Lord dia not claim that the Commodore was influenced by spirits, but, on the contrary, that what he beheved on that subject was a delusion and an im- possibility. His will, giving such a large property to one favored son, to the neglect of sevonty lineal descendants, was against public policy and in direct conflict with the statute, Which would have divided the property equally among the chilaren, The law of primogeniture had been abolished, and the purposes Of Lhe law abolishing it anould not be evaded, Mr. Clinton objected to this lineofeviaence. There was some argument also as to what order should bo observed by th flerent counsel in speaking, The Surrogate promised to give bis decision on both points dn the alternoon seasion, and a recess of balf an hour was taken, AN IMPORTANT DECISION, Soon alter two o’clock ull parties reappeared, and the Surrogate, after having stated tuat he had con- sulted the authorities on the subject, gave tue follow. ing decision :— I: is quite clear to my mind that, declaration of the fuct, the testator's deciaration: fucompetent as tending prove tho fuct: and the only question is whotheg this declaration, that he intended to make bis will as advised by his deceased wife, through spiritual in- tervontion, reflects upon tho mental capaeity of the tos- tator.

WHAT COMMISSIONER CAMPBELL HAS TO SAY ON THE CONDITION OF THE SEWERS—MR, ENGINEER TOWLE’S VIEWS. Complaints bave been quite frequent of latein cer- tain parts of tho city that, owing to what was cousid* ored the defective condition of some of the sewers, Bot only many reets but many dwellings had been during the past summer rendered at times almost uninhubitabie. In many parts of the city up town citizens contend that the stencues they complata of are more overpow- ering at bigh tide than at any other time. This is due, they believe, to the contents of the sewors, already blocked up, being pushed back, thereby driving the filthy odors thronch the connection pipes into the dwellings, Tne Department of Pnblic Works do not Put much faith in thie idoa so strangely prevalent, and claim that the city sewers are all in splendid condition, A Haun reporter yesterday called pon Commiseioncr Campbell in relation to the matter, and called his attention in ap especial manner to tho charges made relative to the sewers by an ex-superio- tendent of the department. “Tho statements made py John M, Thornton, tore merly superintendent of sewers,” Mr, Campbell said, “bave no foundation in fact. They are made because he was disinissed from the department for vad con- duct. “What was this bad conduct?’ the reporter asked, “Attempts to le¥y blackinail oo the contractors, When these jacts came to my knowledge I caused vim to be dismissed trom tue department, We ample proof of bis miscouduct 10 sworn statements, and 1 expect to obtain still more conclusive evidence of bis misconduc!. On one occasion he caused a pa- per to be circulated amoung the contractors and other einpioy és of the department asking for contributions toward buying him a horse and wagon, Iv other cases he demanded money trom contractors, aud [ have an offldavit from Jobo Muinolland among others that such a demand was made and refused. As1 could not permit such practices 1a the departineat hoe was dismissed, and in consequeuce hs now comes forwurd with charges Wuich aro a tissue of iaiseboods trom boxinning to end,” “Could you give the Henan a dental of these churges in detail?” “fhat can be best done by Mr. Towle, tho engineer of the Bureau of Sewers. He 1s familiar with all iho details and will givo you all the inlormation you do- ire.!” THE ENGINAYR’S STATEMENT. Mr. Stévongon Towle, the oflicer to whom the re- porter was referred by the Commissioner, reiterated ail tho denials of his chief, and declared there was no foundation for thy charges whatever. “This is the first complaint we have ever had,” he aid, “ol any foul odors arising from the seers, and as the Coramiastoner has explained to you these charges spring irom the malice of a discharged sup:r- intendent, 11 is true offensive smells are semetiny manifested at the foot of West Twenty-third strect, but they are not caused by defective sewers,” “How, (heu, ure they causeat”” “They arise trom the mud in the ferry slip, which is constantly stirred up aud agitated by the Doats en- tering tne While this deposit Is sewage, it is old sewage; that part of the Twenty-third streot sower west of Eleventh avenue, woich was formerly dis- charged there, having been discontinued for eignt yours, Atthe present time toe Twenty-third atrect Sewago 18 recetved in the general er collective sewer in Kieventh uvenue and discharged at the foot of Seventecuth street, Indeed, the whole district trom Toirteenth to Uhirty-Nith street 1s diecharged by this ono outiot,’? e “What, then, tho ferry slip? “The cdy ig for the Dock Dopartmont to dredge out tho slip, il this 15 done so deep that the wheels of the ferry boats do net touch the bottom there will be no foul smells tucre.

All this work was regularly certified to by Thorn. ton as properly done.” THK HARLEM PLATS. “Then, again, he says that in the Harlem flats piles were dri where tb y tho contractor was making a large profit out of tin “Thornton had eutire churge of that, and it any work was done there not in conlormity with the con- tract he is responelble.” “He ulso complains that pipes apd sewers aro {ro- quently repiaced at great expense whicn a littie tore- sight could have prevented.’ ‘Wo are gdlng on to tuke up and replace dofective sewers, no matter who ft may bart.’’ “Then, again, Thornton suys sewers bave beon paid for where pone were over vuilt,”? “The only possible founaat for sach a statement 1s an office Joke.
