& A BLUE OUTLOOK. WHAT IS Ti STORE FOR WESTFIELD, N..J.— CHILDREN CUT OFF FROM THEIR CANDY, AND SHAVING AND LIQUORING UP ON SUNDAY PRO- | HIBITED—WHAT IS SAID IN THE TOWN, Westfield, in New Jersey, is atown of about three housand inhabitants, situated on the line of the Cen- tral Railroad and provided with five temples of Chris- tian worship, one hotel, two drug stores and two bar- ber shops. Many of the residents are descendants of the old settlers of the State and have more or less of a Puritanic lcaven in their composition. They ar rigid sticklers for th the Sabb They believe in enforei. ys jient laws of the Btate, long since fallen into desuetude, against viola- tions of the Lord's Day. These laws they consider ‘wise, holy and salutary, and necessary to the preser- vwation of society. Holding exalted views of the holi- ness of the Sabbath, that all worldly sounds and, motions, all levity, profanity and sensual indulgence observance in every shape should be suppressed on that day, a | mumber of the residents have instituted what is called the “Westiield Law and Order Society,” whose purpose is to see the Sabbath observed after the manner re- quired by the old unrepealed laws on the statute | books of the State. They do not contemplate the immediate enforcement of these laws, but will rather trust for the present to the efleets of moral suasion, holding the law, like the sword of Damocles, above the heads of possible trespassers. The old resident church-going folks like the thing, but the hot and rebellious blood of the rising generation, which is pot much gi' to religious services, is restive under the Blue La THE FAVORITE RESORTS CLOSED. The drng store on Sundays in the country is 2 fa vorite resort forthe young men. There they go to smoke cigars and hear the news of the town, and there when so disposed they can have a nip of. apple- jack under the name of soda that never paid the tate any license. The barber shop is also a popular place of resort on that particular day of the week, , The barber is full of jokes, and his customers love to linger under his shears or his lathering brush while he carries on hia bantering ta These simple and harmless village entertainments are now at an end‘in Westfield, and there is much muttering and com- plaining in the tents of the ungodly. ‘The residents from New York, for the most part, are incon- wolable. Sunday they stay at home in West- field, but the prospect tor relaxation in the future in driving, drinking, dancing, or gossiping in the drug store, looks blue indeed. The New Yorkers belong to @ hard working cl: turn Saturday eveni to hurry off to the barber's shop, but invariably post- pone the visit till Sunday morning. Under existing circumstances they may take, in a wild spirit of re- ‘venge, to abstaining trom attendance at church, justi- tying their course by the plea that their appearance is unpresentable in any respectable congrega- Of course this is utter recklessness, but culate what a man may do with a week's capillary stubble on his chin and the barber's Bhop closed against him by a Puritanical decree. PITIABLK PLIGHT OF YOUNG MEN. Then there are many the youth of the town to whom the habit of getting shaved on Sunday has become a second nature, and their feelings when they wake up on Sunday mornings im the future andr Alize the horrible fact that’ the barbers’ shogs are losed can be more easily imagined than described. Buppose a young man has promised to escort his Sweetheart to church; how is he to manage if his face Is as rough as sandpaper and his hair falling like a thatch over his shirt collar? The result must be that régine feel no disposition Hon. the fashionable sweils of the town will deteriorate in | bgne.

Then, in the matter of drinks, the thirsty souls of the town will be compelled to take a walk of two miles and a half out on the plains fora morning cocktail. From the mary convivial Spirits that have their homes in Westfield the path- ‘way to that bourne of refreshments promises to be- some familier and well worn. A CHAMPION OF THE BLUE LAWS. Speaking on this all-absorbing subject to the township of Westfield Rev. Mr. Harris said:—“One of pur troubles is the difficulty of dealing with the United States government tax, which allows people to Bell liquor by jot to be drunk on the premises.

THE PATHER'S SUIT CONTINUED BEFORE JUDGE LARREMORE—A GALLANT MILITIAMAN GIVES SOME TESTIMONY—CAPTAIN WILLIAMS’ Evi “DENCE CONTRADICTED—TAE CASE TO BE CLOSED TO-DAY, ‘ There was continued before Judge Larremore yes- terday the further hearing in the suit of Patrick Col- lins, father of the unfortunate girl Emma Collins, against her alleged seducer, General Nicholas Cassina, | to recover $10,000 damages. The court room wa densely crowded, and the testimony, although in the main & repetition of that given in other civil and | criminal proceedings growing out of the same ma! | ter, was nevertheless not altogether void of interest, and of several young ladies with rosy cheeks and pretty ways was one of the main features of the day. he evide: EMMA'S LANDLADY, Mrs. Denny, with whom Emma was placed after she was taken from the House of Mercy, was recalled by defendant’s counsel for cross-examinstion. Mrs. y of Emma coming to her house ich she had had with her while She s#id that Hmma told her all her troubles, ug her that she had divgraced herself and family, | and was atraid she uld not be able to pet another tion in New Yerk. Emma also told her that | Cassina followed her and offered her presents of { and how he tempted her. . | Denny, after a somewhxt protracted cross-ex- | amination, gave place to Mrs. Collins, the wife of the | pleintitf, who was briefly examined. In broken ac- cents she told the story of her daughter's life before | she left her home forever, She said that she was a | good girl, and while sho was at work always brought {ome Ler wages. She stated further that since Enma’s last disappearance she had received one let- | ter from her without date or direction. THE DEFENCE. | After recess Mr. Cottman opened for the defence | saying that, although he did not dispute the plain titl’s right to recover the value of his daughter's ser- vices, still he would show that this was all which un- der the law he could recover, and that the girl herself having been unchaste and to the knowledge of ber parents, the latter thereby contributed to the injury. ‘The first witness called was Captain Williams, who arrested Emma in June last. He denied that he at that time took any message or memoranda from Cas- sina addressed to Leo Schwab or any one else, which he handed over to the plaintiff, as testified to by the latter. He said that he toid Cassina that he ought to be ‘ashamed of himself to take a girl like that from her home. Kitty Bruce, a lovely young blonde with blushing cheeks, next occupied the witness chair, On cross- examination an affidavit made by Miss Bruce was read, in which she avers that Emma Collins was en- tively chaste,and never knew her to do aught im- proper until her acquaintance with Cassina. Major Warick, of the rleventh Regiment, being next called, said he met Emma first at a ball, being intro- duced to her as Sadie Colmus, and afterward became quite intimate and friendly with her, but their in- tercourse was never improper in any way. Mr. Collins was then recailed by Mr. McCarthy, and flatly contradicted the statement of Captain Williams about the memorandum of Cessina, Judge Larremore then cautioned the jurors not to o each other or any one else about the case, journed its turther hearing until this morning, ch time counsel are to sum up and the case to be subuitied to the jury. BURGLAR | BULLARD IN CANADA, “PIANO CHARLEY” TAKING THINGS EASY AMONG THE CANUCKS—-AN EFFORT TO BE MADE FOR Ts EXTRADITION, Mr. Alexander Frasier, the assistant receiver gen- eral of the Bank af Cansde, informed Detective Pinker- ton yesterday that Charles W. Bullard, alias “Piano Charley,” who escaped from the State Prison at Con- cord, Mass.,on the night of the 13th of September last, has been in Toronto, Canada, for three weeks past. Bullard, who gained his sobriquet from his pro- ficiency a8 a musician, is one of the most expert bank burglars in the world, In company with “Tke’’ Marsh and Mark Shinburne herobbed the Ocean Bank, of this city, of nearly $500,000, This was followed in 1868 by the equally daring robbery of the messenger of the Merchants’ Union Express Company, on the New York Central Railroad, between this city and Buffalo. Bullard, Marsh and aman named Thompson broke into the express car, bound and gagged the messenger and stole $100,000 from the safe. ey fled to Ci but were extradited and lodged in the White Piains dail. Their friends paid ex-Recorder Smith a fee of $1,000 to defend them, and on their being held for trial picked the Recorder's pocket of the $1,000 as he was returning to this city in the train, A number of burglars, under the leadership of Billy Forrester, the supposed murderer of Mr. Benjamin Nathan, went to | White Plains and succeeded in effec the escape of Bullard and Marsh by digging through the old and rickety walls of the jail. OTHER EXPLOITS, After this nothing was heard of Bullard until the summer of 1869, when the Boylston (Mass.) Bank was plundered of $450,000, Bullard, undet the name of Villiam A. Judson, hired the house next the bank building, and with his confederates cut through the nto the money vault. Immediately after the with his wife, he fled to France and settled in Paris, where he opened **The American Bar" cue Seribe, near the Grand Hotel, assuming » of Charles H. Welle. A faro bank was car- ried on ina private room at the rear of the saloon, and for over w year Bullard did a thrivi busi- ness. He was very affable to Americans, and when Mr. Sandford, of the Merchants’ Union Express Com- pany, returned from Europe, he spoke to Detective Pinkérton of the kindues# of Mr. Wells, who had taken him all over the city and showed him the places of public interest.” He was thunderstrack when he heard that Wells was really Bullard, who had stolen $10,000 from his express company. The French suthorities, however, closed up Bullard’s saloon and sentenced him to @ year’s imprisonment for keeping » gambling house. At the expiration of his term he joined his wife in this city and took up his quarters in a house in Kast Righteenth street, kept by a noted burglar called “Dutch Dan,” who betrayed B lard to the police, He waa arrested, taken to Bos- nd sentenced to twenty years in State Prison, He was serving out this term when he made his ape in September lust, After bis escape from Con- cord Warden ( hanberlain received a postal card pur- porting to have been written by Bullard in this city, in which he states that the Manhattan Bank robbery was planned by him whale in the Concord prison. Bullard is a man of very good education, speaks Eng- lish, French and German fluently, plays the piano with the «kill of a professional, and is one of the very few burgisrs who can open a combination safe with his hands alone. His wife at present resides in this city. Detective Pinkerton will endeavor to have Bullard extradited aud returned to his cell in the Concord prison. CITY’ ORDINANC Several months ago Messrs. E. B. Shafer and Elliot F. Shephard were appoluted commissioners to codify the various ordinances @® the Common Council passed since 1866. It was understood to be the intention of the Aldermen in making these appointments that both gentlemen should wet jointly, but they recently sent | in two reports to the Board. At yesterday's session the Law Committee, to which body the documents of the ssioners had been submitted, made a re- port upon the subject. Their report states they made attempts to reconcile the differences between the commissioners without success, They then go on to | says— Tho differences seemed to be irreconcilable.

THE RUN ON THE PROVIDENT INSTITUTION FOR SAYINGS IN JERSEY CITY-—ANOTHER CoM- PLAINT AGAINST THE MECHANICS AND LA- BORERS’ BANK. The excitement attending the arrest of the directors of the Mechanics and Laborers’ Bank, of Jersey City, has been such as to seriously alarm the bank de- positors in that’city, and the result is that large num- bers of the poorer depositors are making demands on all the banks in the city for their money. Thy rua on the Provident Institution for Savings, corner of Plymouth and Washington strects, which was begnn on Monday, continued yesterday, and was even larger than on the previous day. The bank has been in operation for thirty-five years, and through its economical and close manage- ment was always rated to be the safest in the State. When the rumor of a run on the institution was first heurd it was laughed at as ridiculo: yet a crowd be gan to gather about its doors, and yesterday, long be- fore the doors werg opened, the stoop and street in | the majority of them being women, When the doors wore opened the throng rushed in and presented their books for payment. Several directors sat in the back room sinoking, and all the money that could be paid out im # day was placed on the desks in front of the clerks, County Collector E. W. Kingsland, the secret ‘and treas- urer of the institution, walked about behind the desks watching tho clerks as they rapidly made up the different accounts and ‘paid out the full amount to each dey the depositors, as they saw the cle ‘ing out without a word, began to grow confide: eft without drawing their mon ‘On Saturday last $33,000 were drawn and on Monday about $40,000; yesterday the amount drawn reached over $50,000, Many depositors were anxious to have their books made up with interest to January 1, but this the directors refused to do. Interest was com- puted upto July lonly, Thus by the run the bank saves five months’ interest on the amount drawn. Secretary of State Henry C. Kelsey, having heard of the run, visited the bank yesterday, and assured the depositors that they were needlessly alarmed. He | said that Bank Examiner Van Camp, who recently made an examination of the affairs of the institution, reported that the management was excellent, the bonds and securities of the safest and that over $1,000,000 could be realized within twenty-four hours on the bonds and government securities. He con- | sidered the bank able to pay every dollar, and have a handsome surplus left. The profits of the institution at present averaged nearly $60,000 annually, while the surplus amounted’ to nearly $200,000, The re- rt of the bank to the State department in January fast shows the assets at that time to have been $4,820,679 and liabilities $4,652,075, THE MECHANICS AND LABORERS’ BANK. No decision has yet been rendered by Chancellor Runyon on the application of the directors of the Mechanics and Laborers’ Bank to be allowed to con- tinue business and the request of several depositors for the appointment of uw receiver, Secretary of State Kelsey said yesterday that the bank, since its organization, had never filed any ort with the State of its condition, and it was only through an ac- cident that he became aware that such a bank was in operation. Bank Examiner Van Camp was sent at once to make an examination of their books and on reporting its embarrassed condition to Mr. Kelsey the latter began proceedings for*the appointment of a veceiver. One would have been appointed ‘ere this but for the application of the directors and their statement that if they were allowed to con- tinue they would in a short time be able to meet their entire liabilities. It was because of this propo- sition that the Chancellor has held the matter in abey- ance. Yesterday another complaint was made against the directors of the institution by Jumes Chester, of Ho- boken, who in his affidavit alleges that Secretary Donelan resorted to false pretences and falsehood to get him to deposit bis money in the bank, knowin, at the time that the bank wasinsolvent. Althoug! the directors were arrested and gave bail before Judge Meehan for alleged conspiracy on Monday they will, it is thought, be rearrested to-day on Ches- ter’s complaint. CLAMORING FOR A DIVIDEND. ‘The 20,000 policy holders and other claimants in- terested in the settlement of the affairs of the Conti- nental Life Insurance Company have been endeavor- ing for some time past to compel the receiver, Mr. John P, O'Neill, to declare a dividend out of the $1,000,000 cash assets in his hands. Mr. ‘Tobiag, the representative of the receiver, when requested to state what steps had been taleen toward a dividend, said:—“It is not through any fault of the receiver that the affairs of the company were wot liquidated long since. Application was made to the courts to authorize the declaring of a dividend, but, through the exertions of a small army of lawyers, vex- tious delays have been interposed from time to time. These gentlemen represent persons who have brought suits against the company forthe amount of their claims, and of course they are afraid that if the assets are divided pro rata atwong the policy holders there will not be a sufficient amount left in the hands of the receiver to pay their claims. are other considerations which have also tended toward re- tarding a settlement with the creditors. They relate for the most part to bogey of law and the policy of insurance companies, and are:— First—Whether death claims nae Phong Ree in- solvency of the company was known shou! pre- ferred foe the tace value of the policies issued? Scemd—Upon what basis shall the reserved value be made; whether upon the Northampton or Carlisle tables of mortality, which are on the basis of four and a half and six per cent respectively? Therd—Whether persons who died since the insol- vency of the company are-entitled to a dividend upon’ the tuce value of the policy or a dividend on the re- served value? Until these points are passed upon by the Court of Appeals there will be no dividend paid on any of the claims, as the receiver has been enjoined from so do- ing. In this connection the following notice has been sent to the creditors: — As thore ave certain q which must be judi- cially determined befor on can be made, and as the status of several classes of claims has not yet defined. it is impossible to say at what time such distribu. tion wili take place. The assets are being converted into cash.whieh will be paid to policy owners pro rata_as son us the courts will have disposed of the questione referred to, JOHN P. O'NEILL, Receiver, Application has been made to the Courts for the ap- pointment of a referee to take testimony in the mat- ter of the litigated claims, and some gentleman will be appointed to the position in a few days. BUSINESS TROUBLES. Ata mecting of the cralitors of Joshua D. Miner, held yesterday before Register Ketchum, schedules were presented showing liabilities of $62,500, Four claims were proved and Samuel G. Jelliffe was elected assignee. Andres Cassard and Carolina Cassard made separate assiguments, without preferences, yesterday to Will- iain J. Cassard. Morris Aikus, dealer in clothing, made an assign- ment yesterday to Gustave Harlem, with prefereaces, SUSPENSION OF A SHIPMASTER. In the case of the British steamer John Bramall, which was chartered at New Haven to carry arms and ammu- nition for the Turkish government, and which veasel was unfortunately wrecked on the Little Gull Island Rocks, Loug Island Sound, on the 16th of October last, a naval court hae just been held at the British Consulate General, tinder the presidency of Mr. B ‘M. Archibald, Her Britannic Majesty's Consul Gen- eral, with Captain Archibald Campbell, of the steam- ship Ethiopia, and Captain Robert J. W. Bristow, of the steamship Sorrento, as his assessors, to, ine vostigate the circumstances of the stranding of the vessel. The master, Edwin Poillurd, and the chief officer, chief engineer and others of the crew of the ill-fated steamer were examined at length before the Court, and the master wus also represented by his counsel, Mr. Thomas E. Stillman. The Court, aiter mature deliberation, found, in effect, that the stranding of the steamer was due to the mawter, when € Mesvoring to pee through the channel be- tween Gall Island and the Valiant Rock, which are distinctly marked on the chart, not having steered his veasel acoonding to the course plainly jaid down on the chart; in other words, through injudiciously “hugging” the Lighthouse Island ip order to avoid the possibility of striking the Valiant Kock. The rt at the same time expressed their opinion that the master committed a grave error of judyment, and hibited @ want of seamanship in adhering to @ course of steering which tended inevitebly to land the veseel where she strack. ‘Taking into considera | tion all the cireumstances of the ease the Court sus pended the master’s certificate of competency for six months from the date of the stranding.

A THIEF WHOM IT TOOK FIVE POLICEMEN TO OVERCOME, The basement and first floor of No. 142 Fast Fif- teenth street are occupied by William Budenbender, upholsterer, and family. Yesterday afternoon, while Budenbender was in his shop in the basement and his wife was in the store on the first floor,a burglar broke open the front hall door, and bursting in the kitchen door also, was engaged in packing up in a bundle whatever he could lay hands on when seen by the lady.

He expressed great 81 at the conduct of his son and seemed to teel keenly the disgrace brought upon his family.

MONEY ON CALL EASY AT 21-243 PER CENT. os WALL STREET, Tourepay, Dec. 3—6 P. M. At the opening of the Stock Exchange this morning prices made a faint response to the higher figures which last night's strength called for, and almost immediately afterward made an iguominious retreat, It has never been intimated that Mr. Gould was suffused with military ardor—in fact the “Selover’’ episode in his career would suggest the reverse—yet his charge to-day upon the Northwestern was worthy of a financial Batuklava, Matters glided along com- fortubly until midday, when the whole form of the market was knocked into pi by the appearance ot Gould’s brokers as free sellers of the Northwestern shares. A couple of hours later the same experiment was repeated, with sufficient success to demoralize the entire list and to reduce prices at the winding ‘up of business to very nearly the lowest of the day, Of course, with the prevalence of so much stifling smoke there must needs be an exiating fre, and thig latter was shortly located in a report that Mr. Gould or some one of his satraps had applied for an injune- tion restraining the Northwest Company from pay- ing a dividend upon their stock, The application ia said to be based upon an alleged intended and improper diversion of the company’s surplus carnings from the account of new roads in process of construction to stockholders’ pockets. It is claimed that the new roads should be paid for first and the stockholders afterward—always provided there be anything left to pay them with. Actuated by this highly moral pur- pose, and with the best interests of the shareholders (of whom he is as a director at once servant and trus- tec) at heart, and clearly without regard to his own interests, which, as everybody knows, are ex: tensively upon the short side, Mr. Gould has taken the legal step referred to ta protect the interests which he represents. Badinage apart, My. Gould is uncomfortably short of astock which he finds it difficult to break, and is put to his trumps to crack a out which grows harder ¢very day. In proof of this we print the items of earnings for the month of November, which are given to us as official, The increase of earnings for the fourth week were $84.200; for the entire month, $167,000; gross earnings for November, 1878, $1,403,000; for November, 1877, $1,236,000, 'Phis is tho largest showing of earnings for any single month in the history of the road, and would seem to fully war- rant the expected dividends of 31; per cent upon the preferred and of at least 2 per cent upon the common stock. While the decline this morning in the North- western was clearly attributable to aslam-bang at tack from the Gould-Sage quarter, there was no evidence that the bull contingent had or were inclined to lose their grip. It is @ very pretty quarrel as it stands between the bull and bear forces, and there is notable fighting material upon both sides, Since the names of the* combatants are freely bruited in the street there can be no indelicacy in repeating them here, as consisting of Messrs. Gould and Sage upon the one side and Messrs. Osborn, Morgan, Osgood, Perry Smith and George Scott upon the other, with the ghost of Mr. Koene hovering impalpably between the two. 80 entirely was the market engrossed by the Northwest- ern speculation that little of interest was left for the rest of thelist. The coal stocks, improving at first, sagged off afterward and closed at a decline. The Board of Control will meot on! Thursday, and it is ex- pected that something definite will be done as regarda the combination. The situation is in every respect unchanged. The Lehigh Valley Company is not averse to a continuations of the compact, but imperatively demands an expansion of its quota. ,Unlese this is yielded the cow partnership goes to the “bow-wows.” The tonnage of the several companies for the past year is pub. lished to-day, and, while it appears that the majority show a decrease, the two Delawares show an in- crease, Hertce there has arisen a wrangle and a snar! as to the why and wherefore, and the happy fam- ily of coal carriers is further disturbed thereby, Pacific Mail broke down two per cent to-day, appa rently from its own weight. Twenty per cent per annum of wear and tear attaches as necessarily to steamship company as death and taxes to a million. naire, and it does not appear that this corporation is Mkely to escape the penalty which is inseparable trom this sort of property, unless its business be of the most successful description. Gold hovered about 1004; The Gould conspirators renewed their buy- ing, and it is‘estimated that they have so far secured from $10,000,000 to $12,000,000. The interesting ques- tion as to what they will do with it will be best an- swered when they attempt to sell out. ‘The opening, highest, lowest and closing prices of stocks and gold to-day at the New York Stock .Ex- change were as follower :— é Opening, Highest. 10014 100% Lowest, Close 100% a6 100% Pacific Muil...
