TELEGRAPHIC NEWS From All Parts of the World. TRADING FOR’ TURKEY. Gladstone Censured for His Harsh Language. POLITICAL ITALY’S CR Spain Threatened with Trouble from the Basques. pila ae [BY CABLE To THE HERALD.] by Lonpox, Dee. 12, 1878. A despatch from Pesth to the Times, says:—“A tem- porary block has occurred in the negotiations for a definitive Turco-Russian Convention, Turkey insist- ing on the insertion of provisions stipulating that the Russian evacuation shall proceed simultaneously with the surrender of the places ceded to Monte- aegro.” The Vienna correspondent of the Daily Tele- graph says, & telegram from Pera asserts that Mah- moud Damad Pacha and others, who were sent away, bad conspired to dethrone the Sultan. a. & A BRIBE TO ENGLAND. The St. Petersburg New Times’ Berlin correspond- ent says the confidential communication from Ger- many, which Mr. Bourke, Under Foreign Secretary, tecently informed the British House of Commons was received in September, was a proposal that England should assume a protectorate over Constanti- nople and occupy certain neighboring positions aa the price for permitting the tinffication of Bulgaria and Roumélia, The correspondent asserts that negotiations on the subject continue. A semi-official statement published here asserts that the reconstruction of the Turkish Ministry is an in- Aigation of favorable progress in the negotiations for 8 definitive treaty. Russia only desires full and com- plete peace in conforming with the Treaty of Berlin. The Times’ correspondent at Pesth says trust- worthy advices from St. Petersburg positively contradict the renewed rumors of the ap- Proaching elevation of Count Schouvaloff and the retirement of Prince Gortschakoff. ‘The struggle between the European and Slav parties is becoming more and more intense, and Count Schouvaloff is not desiroug of high office before thre struggle is decided. . ,. BRITISH PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES, The Times of yesterday had 4 severe criticism on the matter and manner of Mr. Gladstone’s speech in the*House of Commons on Tuesday night, which concluded as follows ‘Such are the charges and such the policy of the most vehement vpponent of the Ministerial policy. They will conduce neither to his own reputation nor to the support of his cause.” Mr. Courtland, liberal, w yesterday elected to Parliament for Maldon by 141 majority, in place-of Mr. Sandford, conservative, re- tired. The Post announces, semi-ofiicially, that Par- lament will probably adjourn next Tuesday. i ITALY’S CRISIS, The Daily News’ Rome correspondent anticipated that the Italian government will be defeated in the Cliasmber of Deputies by about tifty out of about four hundred and sixty votes. But when the vote was taken yesterday on an order or the dny expressing confidence in the ability of the government to’ maintain order with liberty, the showing of the Ministerial party was much larger than was expected. The order was rejected by a vote of 257 to 185. The Rome Capitale asserts that the Ministry ‘will ask the King to dissolve Parliament. This, how- ever, is contradicted in Parliamentary circles, In the Chamber of Deputies there are now pending twelve motions against the Ministry and eight in their favor. A special despatch to the Times from Rome says:—‘The majority against the government in the Chamber of Deputies includes 157 votes from adherents of Nicotera and Crispi on the Left and Centre. The formation of a new, Ministry under Depretis and Sella is confidently predicted by muny.” SPAIN AND HER DANGERS, The Standard’s correspondent at Paris reports that the Spanish Ambassador has requested the French goverument to prosecute the journal La Ré- publique des Pyrenées Orientales tor insulting King Alphonso. Premier Canovas del Castillo, reply- ing to the energetic protests of the Basque Deputies, declared that the state of siege would be maintained in the Basque Provinces as long as agitation for the fueros continued, and that the law abolishing the fu- eros would be carried out to the utmost extent despite Passive resistance. The declaration has caused a marked sensation in political circles. A Madrid cor- respondent denies the statement that the Spanish gov- ernment had proposed to Germany collective anti- socialist measures. ‘TO OBLIGE HER NEIGHBOR, The Times’ Paris despatch says Count Chau- dordy, French Ambassador at Madrid, re- ceived his letters of recall on Wednesday. M. Waddington, Minister of Foreign Affairs, has yielded to King” Alfonso’s personal objec- tion to Count do Choiseul, but has ob- tained Spain's assent to. the appointment of an even more pronounced republican in Count Chaudordy’s place. The Paris Sitc/+ believes that Ad miral Jaurés will be the new Ambassador. » FRANCE'S OWN BUSINESS, The Times’ correspondent at Paris says the National, @dited by M. Pessard, who is credited with having intimate relations with M. de Marcire, Minister of the Interior, urges such @ reorganization of the Cabinet after tho Senatorial elections as would certainly lead to a complete disruption. In viow of this. danger the Jimes’ correspondent semi- officially assures the discontented republicans that * M. Dufanre, President of the Council, will consent to ®@ gradual republican releavening of the magistrecy. ‘Minister Waddington has not truckled to Spain mla-- tive to the appointment of an Ambassador, CABLE NOTES, A despatch from Vienna says that M. Nolcanoff,.the Panslavist agitator and Russian State Councillor,,hae has been expelled from Austria, The Danish government has telegraphed the Gov- ernot of Santa Cruz, empowering him to grant ad- ministrative loans, not exceeding 500,000 crowns, for the'purpose of restoring the sugar plantations. It is not likely that the new elections will materially alter the strength of the parties in the Danish Folke- The condition of the Grand Duchess of Hesse (Princess Alice of England) was more satisfactory Yesterday. Sir William Jenner, physi¢ian in ordinary to the Queen, at Her Majesty's request went to Darm- stadt on Tuesday to attend the Grand Ducbem of Hesse. The rinderpest has made its appearance in, the Reighborhood of Berlin. TRAIN WRECKERS ARRESTED. Sr. Lovis, Mo., Dec, 11, 1878, Price Neues, Charles Beckett and Ed. Koepke were arrested at Hillsboro, Mo., yesterday, for obstructing the track of the St, Louis, Iron Mountain and South- ern Railway, near Sulphur Springs, twenty-four miles south of this city, on ‘Tuesday night last, for the purpose of plunder. The New Orleans train over the obstruction and was considerably shaken, but did not leave the track. On backing up toascertain what the trouble was, the conductor found & piece of iron wedged into the frog. Beckett teenuur evidence, Koepke yave bail and THEFT IN A BANK, (BY TELEGRAPH To THE HERALD.)

[PY CABLE TO THE HERALD.]} Loypoy, Dec. 11, 1878. Reports from the southwestern coasts state that a very heavy fall of snow set in last night over Scilly. This is such an unusual phenomenon in that quarter that much sur- prise is expressed regarding it. The snow attended the movement of the disturbance whose arrival on the British coasts was pre- dieted by the Heratp Weather Bureau by cable on the 6th. PREVAILING WEATHER. At Scilly to-night the wind is again east- northeast and fresh, and the weather clear, with the barometer at thirty inches, ‘The British Meteorogical Office ordered this afternoon the lowering of the north cone signal on the south and southeast coasts, ON THE SOUTHWEST COAST STORM PRE- NOT FOUND. THE SEARCH FOR A. T. STEWART'S BODY ON THE RAPPAHANNOCK CLIFFS SUSPENDED—DETEC- TIVES CONFIDENT THAT THEY HAD A TRUE SCENT. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) FrepenicksnurG, Va., Dec, 11, 1878, Early this morning an effort to trace the detectives supposed to be here in search of Mr. A, T. Stewart’s remains was crowned with suc- cess. They were found in the barn of Mr. Beck, on Beck's Island, situated within sight of the dam and cliffs where the mysterious box was supposed to be hidden. They had slept there the night before, concealed from observation, but were forced by hunger to make known their presence. They succeeded in gaining the confidence of a negro on the premises, who, supplied ‘their necessities, but the intense cold and constant drenching rains yester- day prevented further search. I succeeded this after- noon in meeting the two gentlemen. Disguised as an herb hunter, with pick and knife, I found them in the woods, on the farm owned by Dr. Taylor, about three miles above the city. ‘They were enjoying a lunch by the river side and were accosted by me be- tore they were aware of my presence. At first they were disposed to allow me to pass on, until they as- certained that I was familiar with the country. A LIBERAL OFFER CONTINGENT ON SUCCESS, They first satisfied themselves that I was what I represented myself, when they informed me of the object of their search and offered to pay. me liberally if I would assist them. T asked to see their authority for the investigation, when tliey showed me papers apparently signed by friends of Mr. Stewart's tamily, agreeing to pay them $40,000 if they succeeded in re- covering the remains. They informed me they were independent detectives, and ascertaining that a corpse had been brought here last week from New York, they had left that city, hoping to_ find that the casket really contained the remains of Mr. Stewart. On reaching this point they satisfied themselves of their mistake. They are confident that the box taken from a vessel recently in the river contained the object of their search. This information and the fact that they have satisfied themselves that the corpse which came from New York last week was really that of a former citizen of this place gave relief to the friends and family of the deceased, who at one time contem- plated placing a guard at the cemetery to prevent the desecration of the remains. ‘A RETURN NORTH, ‘The recent rains having swollen the Rappahannock ver and its tributarics and obliterated all evidence likely to have been left by those who deposited the mysterious box, the detectives crossed this afternoon to the Stafford side of the river, where it is stated that they hired two horses, leaving an amount of money sufticient to cover the full value of them. They stuted that their purpose was to return in a few days. I am convinced, trom information, that these parties contemplate an carly return, and they have left here for New York to watch the return of the mysterious veasel which sailed from this place Sunday morning before day. LOUISIANA ELECTION TROUBLES. ABRAIGNMENT OF THE ALLEGED NATCHITOCHES CONSPIRATIORS. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] New Onteays, Dec. 11, 1878. The parties who were charged with a violation of the Election laws in Natchitoches, all at least except Hertzog and Deblieux, .the last being detained on business and the first not being found, made their appearance before United States Commissioner Lane this morning. The affidavit made against them charges that Ernest Mason, Ambrose Deblieux, Dr, 8. A. Scruggs, John Hertzog, Jackson Buard, James C. Johnson, William R. Hart, Sr., J. B. Ruehal and Washington Cochfield did feloniously conspire to prevent one J. R. Hornsby, by force, intim- idation and threats of bodily harm and in- jury, from giving his support and advocacy in a legal manner in favor of the election of J. Madi- son Wells as a member of the Congress of the United States in the Fourth Congressional district of Louisi- ana. Albert Voorhies appeared as the attorney of the arrested partics, and Assistant District Attorney Gurley represented the government. The defendants waived an examination, and the Commissioner put them under bonds, in the sum of $2,000 each, to ap- facing the present term of the United States Circuit cou THE DEFENCE READY, ‘The accused had quite a number of witnesses in court with them they ai they were anxious to go on with the trial of their cases at once. This the prosecution could not do, and, therefore, the ac- cused will return home and there await the action of the Grand Jury. Taking the personnel of these defendants only into consideration they certainly appear the mildest set of bulldozers I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. Dr. Serugys is quite a venerable and benignant-lookin, sixty-five years of age, I understand, anc member of the State Senate, others are young gentlemen of #8 jag. mostly planters in the arish of Natchitoche®. From Dr. Scruggs’ account te would appear that Hornsby had been making incendiary speeches to colored people, and was warned that he must either desist or leave the parish. He promised to moderate his language, but subse- quently got into a difficulty, and had an affidavit made against him charging him with attempting to commit murder, when, in order to avoid being ar- rested, he left the parish. THE CADDO PARISH CASES, One hundred witnesses have been summoned on the part of the government to give testimony in the Caddo parish cases, and it is contended on the part of the officials here that such clear and positive evidence of fraud and intimidation will be presented as will certainly startle the whole com- munity, even if it should not convince the Con- qvessional sub-committee, The Caddo cases, I under- stand, will te called first, as these are supposed to present the strongest points of all these election cases. LIEUTENANT BENNER'S FAMILY, entleman, as been & y (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 11, 1878, ~The wife and family of Licutenant Benner left this city to-day for Elgin, Ill, her future home. She has received $1,200, which is invested in United States bonds. There is much money not yet turned in. = Gordon will press for @ pension for Mrs, Benner. ‘THE HERZOG SEARCH. (BY TELEGRAPH To THE HERALD.] Newrorr, R. 1, Dec. 11, 1878, ‘The family of Solomon Herzog, the missing New York merchant, are still continuing the search in this vicinity, and have increased the reward for the dis- covery of his whereabouts from $100 to $500, The shore between here and Fall River is being searched, as, in the opinion of some, it is probable that he fell overboard from the steamer Bristol while suffering from an attack of vertigo. THE MASCHY MYSTERY, At the Court House in Newark, yesterday, Coroner Dill began au inquest in the case of Mrs. Maschy, who died suddenly in Dr. Ella Haines’ office last Sat- urday, as already stated in the HenaLp. Tho first witness called was Theophilus Maschy, husband of de- ceased, whose testimony was simply a repetition of the statement he made to a Henatp reporter on Monday, It was corroborated by Mrs. Sarah 8. Cadmns, a familiar friend of deceased; Mrs. Thomas Godby, sister of deceased, and Mrs, Hattie D. Travers, an- other intimate friend. Dr. Haines next took the stand, but her testimony did not vary from the state- ment Which she has already made regarding her con- ‘he inquest was adjourned patil to-day, LITERARY NOTES.

CAPTAIN FREDERICK G. LOW. ‘The death of Captain Frederick G. Lo¥, one of the few surviving Dartmoor prisoners, at Gloucester, Mass., yesterday, recalls one of the most unpleasant incidents connected with the last war between the United States and England. History has associated the treatment of the American prisoners of war in New York'during the* Revolution and at Dartmoor (Devonshire, England) during the years 1812-15 with war. the Lord Castle- floor of the all that is dishonorable in reagh once admitted on House of Commons that there 500 men in the British fleot who claimed to be citizens of the United States. These men wero serving under compulsion, and when the war of 1812 actually began they refused to aman the guns against their ‘Twenty-five hundred of these impressed sailc claiming to be American citizens, were committed to Dartmoor and other prisons, where those who sur- vived the ill-treatment were kept until the end of the war. Terrible, indeed, were the tales of suffering from privation and’ disease brought back to America from Dartmoor and other British prisons. ‘These stories were fully equal to those told of the Jersey prison’ ships -or’ the old’ sugar house. Much feeling was also occasioned by an unlucky affair which occurred at Dartmoor after the peace was known, the guard taking advantage of some disturbance to fire upon the prisoners and thus to take the lives of several heroes who had obstinately withstood the years of starvation and inhuman treatment. Captain Low was aged eighty-nine at the time of his death. BREVET BRIGADIER GENERAL I. CARLE WOOD- RUFF. ‘The death of Brevet Brigadier General Israel Carle Woodruff, colonel’ of the Corps of Engineers, United States Army, occurred at Tompkinsville, Staten Island, on December 10. General Woodruff was born in. New Jersey in 1815, and was appointed from that State to West Point in 1832. He wus graduated in 1836, and was attached to the artil- lery. Thence he was transferred to the Engineer's Department. He was made a Brevet Brigadier Gen- — on meritorious services during the rebellion of 186) PHILIP MARKS' EXPERIENCE, Captain Yule, of the ‘Iwenty-eighth precinct, noti- fied the Coroners’ office yesterday that Philip Marks, who, as alleged, had been beaten and robbed in McGlory’s saloon, inthe Bowery, on Sunday morn- ing, and then confined for two days in a padded room attached to the saloon No. 1,131 Third avenue, was lying in precarious condition at Roosevelt Hospi- tal. Coroner Woltman visited the hospital and had an interview with the injured man to ascertain if it was necessary to take his ante-mortem statement. With the exception of a black eye und a scalp wound, the result of a severe beating, Marks seemed to be in ascomparatively sound condi- tion, and no official action was therefpre taken in his case. In the Fifty-seventh Street Court John Flynn, re- siding at No. 309 East Twenty-third street, and Will- iam Langshaw, who gave his residence as No. 1,131 Third avenue, were accused of having assaulted Marks. Flynn is the proprietor of the saloon at No. 1,131 Third avenue, and Langshaw is raid to be a lounger in it. They were remanded to allow the police an opportunity to collect evidence against them. . BURGLARS IN’ PATERSON. The residence of Mr. W. H. Hayes, collector of Passaic county, N. J., at the corner of Twenty-fourth and Willis streets, Paterson, was entered by burglars either on Tuesday night or yesterday morning, and aconsiderable quantity of silverware and clothing carried off. The thieves broke the spoons and other articles to learn if they were solid silver and left all the plated ware strewn about the room in fragments. On the same a the residence of Mr. James Johnson, No. 417 Straight street, Paterson, was en- pposed, by the samme gang and #everal hundred dollars’ worth of silverware, jewelry and other valuable articles taken. Here, also, the silver was broken to determine its value. A NARROW ESCAPE, During the gale on Tuesday night a two story frame house on the Guttenberg road, near the Wee- hawken ferry, owned by ex-Governor R. M. Price and occupied by several families, was blown down and entirely demolished. Michael McDermott, who with his wife occupied the top floor, was absent, and Mra, McDermott had left the house only ten minutes be- fore its fall, Michael Brennan, who occupied the ground floor, was also absent, but his wife and two children, nine and thirteen years old respectively, were at home sitting around the stove when the crash came. After the fall of the building the neighbors rushed to the spot expecting to find that Mrs. Brennan and her children had been killed, and their astonfshment may be imagined when they discovered them in the street unhurt. When the building fell the timbers slid back over their heads, leaving @ square space of six feet around them, through which they le their way to the street. AFRAID OF HER HUSBAND. Mrs. Mary McElroy, of Long Island City, yesterday besought the District Attorney of Queens county to afford her protection against expected abuse from her husband on Saturday next. On that day he will be released from the Kings County Penitentiary, where he has served two years and six months for bigamy. He married for his second wife an orphan girl of New Haven, Conn., with an inheritance of $15,000, and managed to spend $1,000 of her money before being arrested, Since his incarceration both wives have obtained decrees of divorce. The one that asks pro- tection was his first wife, and she has a child six years old, The District Attorney said she would be cared for, George Abel, of No. 1,090 First avonue, last week was seized with @ mania for bargains in clothing, and disposed of his coat for two others and then stole another coat, for which act he was arrested, While in his cell he cut his throat with @ knife and was sent to Bellevue ae ge On the way there inthe ambu- lance he violently assaulted the doctor, On Tuesday night he was discharged from the hospital and upon his arrival home attempted to assault his wife, of whom, it is daid, he was jealous. His sister-in- a Mrs. Francis King, hit him on the head with a club and knocked him down. He had her arrested, but the Judge in the Fifty-seventh Street Court yesterday discharged her. HOMCOPATHISTS AT WAR. A LIVELY TIME IN THE OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL LAST NIGHT—AN OBJECTIONABLE POSTER AND A STUBBORN JANITOR, ‘The battle between the members of the Home- opathic Society of the County of New York, at the Ophthalmic Hospital, corner of Twenty- third street and Third avenue, last evening, was short and sharp, but far from being decisive. Orthodoxy was in the ascendant, but the apple of discord thrown into the debate on the constitutional amendments still rolling on, The large attendance of members, including about twenty lady practitioners, showed is that something more than ordinary routine business was anticipated, Dr. A. K. Hills pre- sided and Dr, A, T. Hills was secretary, The first business was the election of officers. While the ballot for president was being taken a rem- ber jumped to his feet and called atten- tion to @ large electioncering poster, six feet in length, nailed to the wall, near the ceiling, on the right of the chair, It contained in rude letters the name of A. K. Hills for president, vice president, treasurer, secretary and all other offi- ces. Then followed asccne of excitement. Several motions were made in different forms, butallcouched in terms of bitterness, that the objectionable poster be removed by the janitor, To these mo- tions there was no dissent. A man at the door cried, «The janitor is here, but he says he won,t remove it.” Dr. Blumenthal, who sat beside the chairman, called out, “If the janitor bo there, let him step this way.” “No white feather about me,’ muttered the janitor, as he stepped forward. “Will you take down that poster?’ asked Dr. Blumenthal. “The meeting has ordered you to do it.” “I will not,” resolutely replied the janitor. “I make my living here, and I put that up under instructions from the college. If I disobeyed the man who directed me to put that up I would be doing « foolish thing to myself.’ As he continued defiant two members drose and volunteered to re- move the objectionable poster. ‘The janitor then, by the advice of some of the cooler members, pro- cured a ladder, and placing it against the wall tore down the obnoxious placard. He was asked to give the name of the person who directed him to put it up, but refused, ‘The result of the balloting for president was then announced, and Dr. Blumenthal was declared elected, ‘Another breezo arose on ‘the clee- tion of vice president, Dr. Blumenthal ob- jected to Dr. Phillips ‘voting because he had Femoved to Yonkers and should join the, society there. Dr. Phillips replied “that he oged to the societies in both “cities and paid his dues regularly. On’ motion his vote was cancelled. Dr. W. H. White was elected. The other officers elected were Dr. E. Carlton, treas- urer, and Dr. A. 1’. Hills, secretary. ‘The Board of Censors elected are Dra, W. J: Baur, A. Berghaus, ‘R. McMurray, A. K. Hills and L. Hallock. Dr. Fowler read a long address attacking the present system of hom@opathy, and moved for a committee to revise the constitution. This brought up a lively opposition and his amendment was lost. ON THE ‘VERGE OF INS ITY. SAD STORY OF DOMESTIC TROUBLE IN NEW- ARK—THE BITTER EXPERIENCE OF A YOUNG WIFE—FROM AFFLUENCE TO POVERTY. Five or six years ago a young girl about eightecn years of age, of unusually attractive appearance and of highly respectable parentage in South Germany, came to this country to visit a rich uncle residing in Newark, N. J. It was not her intention to stay here, but only to spend a year or so with her uncle and then return to her home in Germany, her father being very well off. Before she had been many months in Newark she made the acquaintance of a young man named Henry M. Bleuder, then in the employ of Mr. Franz Haefeli, proprietor of the Swiss House. The sequaintance ripened into love and an engagement.

The young couple, it is sad, lived happily enough together for a short whilc. The bride was possessed of some $600, which she had brought with her from Germany, and this with Blender’s wages enabled them to live comfortably. Soon, however, it is said, the young husband began to lose a@ection for his wife and to lead a wayward life, He got out of employment, but some money sent to his wife by her father enabled him to open a saloon, but he failed in it. Again there was an ap- peal to the father in Germany for assistance. It came in the shape of $1,500, but got into the hands of a banker who disap) suddenly about. a year ago with $8,000 or $10,000 of trust funds. ON THE DOWN TRACK. Since been on the down track.

FIRE IN NASSAU STREET, THE JOB PRINTING ESTABLISHMENT OF JOHN POLHEMUS ALMOST DESTROYED THIS MORN- ING. © At ten minutes to one this morning the Fowler Building, on the southeast corner of Nassau and Ann streets, was discovered to be on fire, and though the slarm brought several engines promptly to the spot the flames spread with such rapid- ity as to menace the adjoining stores. The fire had its origin on the fourth floor, which is occupied by the printing establishment of John 5 Polhemus. The flames were quickly communi- cated to the inflammable materials lying about and spread to the upper stories. ‘The printing presses were on the third story, which, fortunately, escaped serious damage. The building, which is six stories high, is constructed of brick. It was comparatively new, as two years go an oxtensive fire on t same spot stroyed the greater part of the former edifice. ‘The alarm was given by Watchman Musgrave, and ff Nevins was on hand bya little after ane A. M. Engines 4, 6, 9, 10, 12, 20, 27, 29, 32 and Hook and Tedder 1 and 10 promptly ‘arrived on the scene, and by half-past one the flames had been gotten under control. THE JANITOR'S ESCAPE. ‘The only person who sleeps in the building is Cal- vin Case, the janitor, an old, white-bearded man: He was aroused by the officer's rapping and made a timely escape, returning to get one or two articles of personal value. Mr. Chauncey Shaffer's law office, on the fourth floor of the Bennett Building, on the opposite side of Nassau strect, was dam- aged by water to the extent of about $200. ‘The fire apparatus of the Bennett Building was put at the disposal of the department by the janitor. ‘Two streams of water were turned upon the flames from the fourth story, and one from the roof. One-half of the first floor, front, of the burned building is occupied by John A. Dougan asa hat store, the remainder, next door to the corner, by William Edward's cigar store. A liquor store, kept by Ellwood Smith, is in the rear. The second floor was used by Mr. Polhemus as office and job room, The office of the Bank Note Reporter was also on this floor, The upper stories were used as com- posing rooms. DR. MARY WALKER AGAIN. Among the people who yesterday went to the court room in the Central Office to attend the police trials was Dr. Mary A, Walker, attired in her wonted dark frockcoat, spotless shirt and doeskin pants, with soft felt hat in hand and overcoat slung loosely over her arm. She created quite a sensation when sho made her appearance, First, she had gone to the Superintendent, of whom she inquired about the charges preferred by her against members of the force for arresting her. By that official she was referred to Commissioner Nichols, to whom she ex- pressed her intention of pressing her complaint. Ho stated that she would receive o hearing on Wednes- day next, when full consideration would be bg her case, That seemed to satisfy the aggrieved lady, and she went off seemingly unconscious of the battery of eyes that were turned upon her. After that the trials of the day were taken up, A few charges of intoxication were first heard, and then others of @ more serious ure were listened to, which had all the flavor of the phenomenal swearing which characterizes such investigations, MISSING. Catharine Clifford, eighteen years of age, left her home at No. 26 West Eighteenth street on November 30 to go to church and has not been heard from since.

Another bloody shooting affray took place last even- ing in “Owney” Geoghegan's saloon, No. 105 Bow ‘The first intimation of the sanguinary struggle that was tuking place inside was made known to the pe- destrians on the Bowery by the rapid dischar, revolvers. It was then about eight o' sidewalk was filled with curious people anxious to learn the cause of the disturbance and the list of the killed and wounded, No officer appeared during all this scene of tumult and disorder, and it was one of the leading participants in the shooting who was | the first to convey the information to Police Head- quarters. ‘The stories related concerning the shoot- ing and the wounding of two men arecouflicting, but it is certain that at least four pistol shots were fired, three of which took effect, causing injuries of a serious nature, THE APFRAY. It appears that a number of men were assembled last evening in Geoghegen’s saloon, Drinks were cireulated freely and the amiable gentlemen who frequent that resort gave evidence that they were spoiling for a fight. It is determined that Dennis Matlivan, of No. 240 Monroe street; Dennis Gillespie, who resides in Cherry str: aman named Driscoll aud an unknown man formed a carousing coterie in themsclycs. Whatever was the real bone of contention, the arguments nsed_in settling the dispute were of a very solid and strik- ing nature. In the course of the fracas | which resulted Sullivan received two pistol shot ounds in the head—one over the right ear, and another on the forehead, between the eyes. The latter was a slight flesh wound, but the former was more serious. ‘The ball had imbedded it- sel€ in the it was feared that the skull. was shot in the right leg above the ankle, Pp, au Gillespie “OWNEY'R’’ ACCOUNT OF Ir, Sullivan, accompanied by a few friends, proceeded to St. Vincent's Hospital, where the ball was ex- tracted and his wounds dressed. His injured companion was placed in a coach and driven home. Sullivan, after leaving the hospital, found his way to the ‘Tenth _ pre- einct, where he lodged a formal complaint with Sergeant Wasson against Geoghegan for shoot- ing him. In the meantime Gcoghegan had proceeded to Police Headquartery and told his side of the story to Inspector McDermott. He related that a party of roughs had entered his place and attempted to creates disturbance. When they were ejected they fired two shots through the screen, Inspector McDermott ad- vised Geoghegan to seek protection at the 17 cinet station housc, Thither Geoghegan repaired, and, as he eutered the door, Sullivan Was narrating his grievances. ‘The latter turned round, pointed to Geoghegan, and said, ‘That's the man that shot me.’” He then gave his version of the aftray, which in substance was that he, Sullivand and a few friends were enjoy- ing # social glass in Geoghegan’s barroom. A dixpute ‘arose upon some subject, when “Owney” d his revolver, thrust it into Sullivan's face and discharged it, fring two shots, both of which took effect. Gil- leapie, the other wounded man, as stated, was driven home in # coach and detectives were subsequently detuiled to arrest him. ANOTHER VERSION BY GEOGHEGAN. Geoghegan said the tormer statements were all erroneous, He did not wound these men, nor dia- charge a pistol at all; in fact, he did not have a fire- arm -in his possession. He was present though when the shooting took place, and could, therefore, give a correct account of the whole affair. For some months past, he explained, he has been ‘annoyed by the presence of a gang of roughs, who nightly frequented his place and created a disturbance for the purpose of injuring his business. He had complained of these men to In- spector Murray and Captain Webb, but received no re- dress or protection. They belonged to the Hook gang, who are otherwise known as ‘the Boarders.” Last eveningjthree of these men—Sullivan, Gillespie and Driscoll—entered his place in company with a stran- ger, the latter being intoxicated. He treated his com- panions, and in paying for the drinks displayed acon- siderable amount of money. He attempted to go to the closet, when he was followed by Sullivan and Gillespie, Geoghegan divined their. intentions and warned the stranger that they wanted & rob him. Thereupon, Geoghegan claims, the representatives of the Hook gang assaulted him with chairs. His bartender in- terfered, when he, too, was roughly handled, The men then drew revolvers and fired indiscriminately, thereby wounding each other. fter the shooting,” continued Geoghegan, “I went to the. Central Office, where made my complaint to Inspector McDermott; I was about coming here, but called around to my store first, when I was arrested by Officer Hughes and taken here.” Geoghegan and Sullivan were locked up, and the arrest of Gillespie was looked for momentarily, A SENSATION SPOILED. What promised to be one of the most sensational trials ever held in Westchester county came to an abrupt and unexpected conclusion yesterday at White Plains by.reason of a legal nicety, One Caleb Sniffin was convicted of burglary in April last, and recently made an affidavit implicating Mr. Samuel Pine, a very wealthy and respectable farmer of Portchester, as accessory before the act. Sniffin broke into the house of Mr. Slawson, at Portchester, as he now claims, for the purpose of stealing a will there deposited, in the destruction of which Pine had an interest, Slawson having married his aunt. The high social standing of all parties, no less than the romance of the crime, excited wide interest, and yes- terday quite a number attended court to listen to the testimony on the trial of Pine, against whom the last Grand Jury found an indictment. The case was first called on Tuesday, but Mr. Cockran, counsel for Pine, asked leave and was permitted to withdraw the original plea of “not guilty” and enter a plea in abatement for the purpose of ascertaining how the indictment had been found. It was developed yester- day before the Court and jury that Suiftin's affidavit implicating Pine had not been read to the Grand Jury, but its contents communicated to the jurymen by District Attorney Baker. — This, counsel for Pine claimed, was in itself sufficient to inyslidate the indictment, for no one could tell what the facts contained in the affidavit had suffered by being passed through the memory of the District Attorney. On the other hand it was claimed that, leaving the Sniffin affidavit entirely out of the ques- tion, sufficient other evidence had been given by witnesses, Sniffin’s mother amo: the rest, to found an indictment on. Mr. Cockran called for this evidence and it was presented. On looking it over Mr. Cockran was delighted to discover that, while the evidence as to his client's complicity was Brgy ha not a word of evidence to the fact of the been presented and that the jury had accepted the burglary for granted. Thereupon he ved for the discharge of ine on the ground that the jury that indicted him had no scicatur in law of the pi Ba charged. Judge Gifford—nothing else being left for him to do—instructed the jury to dis- charge Pine, and so the case ended, CONVENTION OF UNITARIANS, ‘The Unitarian’ Convention was callet to order yes- terday morning in. the Church of the Messiah, Park avenue, at ten o'clock, by Mr. Dorman B. Eaton, the president, Twenty-five churches were repre- sented. The subject of “Three Steps of Liberal Religions Progress” was read as an essay by Mr. Dale and discussed by a number of emi- nent Unitarian divines. A collation was had in the chapel at half-past one o'clock, and the afternoon was devoted to business and speak- ing by the lay members. Three ladies addressed the congregation. The missionary meeting at night wasa densely crowded one. The general subject, “The Present Word of the Liberal Faith to the World,” was discussed by six clergymen, the closing address being by the Rev. Dr. H. W. Bellows. ‘The general Committee on Ways and Meaus made no public report and the Convention adjourned, HOTEL ARRIVALS. Congressman Daniel N.
