“THE COURTS. Heavy Verdict Against the St. Louis Bridge Company. BANKERS AND BROKERS’ Dr. Crosby’s Raid on the Excise Law Violators. os ASSOCIATION. A heavy verdict was rendered yesterday in the United States Circuit Court against the Illinois and St. Louis Bridge Company, in a suit brought by Bailey Hascall to recover the amount due on nine promissory notes. The verdict was for $265,411 92. ‘The complaint alleges that on the 2Ist of May, 1874, the defendant made three promissory notes for $29,811 24 each, payable one year from dato: also five for $20,000 each and one for $30,000, pay- able at the same time and plice. The plaintiff alleges that upon the collateral securities given for the first three notes $100 was realized, and from the securities for the other notes $27,600. Payment upon the notes was refused. Judgment was demanded for the sum of $201,728 12, after deducting the amonnt of credits, with interest on $23,390 from November 24, 1874, at 7 per cent, and on $89,333 at 7 per ceut from May 24, 1875, and upon $78,000 ot 10 per cent from May 24, 1875. The answer set up a general do- nial, and alleged by way of counter claim a conversion by the plaintiff or his as- siguor, the Keystone Bridge Company, of certain bonds pledged as security for payment of certain promissory notes given to the Keystone Briage Gampany. The answer admits that the notes were given to the Keystone bridge Company, and claiins that the five notes for $20,000 each were se- cured by 200 third mortgage bouds of the company, the three for $29,511 each by nine notes for $10,000 each, und the other for $30,000 by fitty-one third fe nett g bonds and a note for $10,000, It was further claimed that when the notes were given au arbitra- tion was agreed upon by which the liabilities to the plaintif¥ should be ascertained, and that thea such return should be made as the worth of the securities should cxcced the value of the work done. ‘The defendant claims that this arbitration ‘was never had, and that on the 29th of June, 1874, the Keystone Bridge Company made a pretended sale to itself of the nine notes for $10,000 each, held as security for the three of $29,311 U4, for a greatly in- adequate consideration; that on the 29th of July, 1875, the Keystone Bridge Company made a pre- tended sale to itself of the 200 third mortgage bonds for $1,000 each for the amount named us credits in the complaint, at a time it was claimed when they were worth $120,000, and that no power was given for this sale, and that it was, therefore, irregular and void. The note for $30,000, ig was explained, was to Andrew Carnegré as a premium toward the early.completion of the bridge. This was secured by fifty-one third mortgage bonds and a note for $10,000, dated January 16, 1874, and payable in three years. The answer claims that the Keystone Bridge Company became the holder of these securities, and made the same pretended sale as with the other securities, without any power or authority. The suit was brought firstin the Su- preme Court in November, 1875, and was transferred to the United States Circuit Court early in 1876. By order of Judge Shipman yesterday the jury returned ‘@ verdict tor the full amount claimed, BONNER REHYPOTHECATIONS,. A decision was given yesterday by Judge Van Vorst, in the suit tried bofore him at. Special Term of the Supreme Court, brought by Robert L. Cutting as receiver of the Bankers and Brokers’ Association, against Thomas S. Marloe to recover $6,000 loaned to him by the association, the facts of which have been published. “I conclude,” says Judge Van Vorst, after summarizing the facts, “that a system of man- agement ofa banking house in which such conduct of its affairs was permitted was a breach of duty and grossly negligent toward its deal- ers and persons having stocks and bonds in its keoping. It does not appear that the trustees took any sustaniial oversight of the affairs of the association, or devised any measures for the safe keeping of its ars py They did not hold meetings, as required by the bylaws. If sum- moned to attend they did not appear. No periodical examination of the securities appears to have been made by any committee. Ordinary circumspection and safeguards were uot interposed for the protec- tion of the property of the association or of its de- | coe al and dealers, and Bonner’s license to do as we chose without accountability seemed unlimited. ‘The legitimate outcome of such license was ruin to Bonner and tie association and loss to depositors and stockholders. It is urged in behalf of the asso- ciation and Bonner in justitication of the confidence and power reposed in him that he was, up to his fail- ure, 4 man of good character. But it should not be allowed to any man, however he may seem to be, to be tempted with ‘power and property in this way. The stock and property of the association so readily acquired was the aliment by which his appetite for speculation was fed, and through which his ruin was probably hastened. | A banking association, with powers and privileges of the one under considera- tion, isunder a duty to adopt rules and regulations and so to conduct tts business as that property in- trusted to its sufe keeping should be reasonably pro- tected. against misapplication by its servants and agents, An omission to adopt and enforce prudent rules in this ieee is a failure of duty toward its dealers and is blamable negligence.” Judge Von Vorst, in conclusion, holds that the association is liable tor the uct# of ‘Bonner, and gives judgment for the defendant for the value’ of his securities above the amount of his loan, to be payable out of any renin the plaintiff! may have in his possession as re- iver. AN OLD BANKRUPTCY CASE. In 1874 Holmes & Lissburger, iron merchants, failed, ewing about $1,500,000, and filed their petition in bankruptey. They called a meeting of creditors tor tho purpose of making @ compositiqn in bankruptcy, ‘and offered to pay fifteen cents ona dollar. At this time they owed Henry F. Hamill for iron sold about $184,000, They paid the fifteen cents to all their creditors except Hamill. Certain creditors of Hamill sued him, and, under supplementary proceedings, William Sinclair, Jr., was appointed receiver of alt the cifects. The receiver filed his proof ot claim im the Bankrupt Court and the «mount due has twice been fixed, ouce at $112,000 and once at $118,000, to which amount the bankrupts object and refuse to pay the composition. The receiver re- contly brought suit against the bankrupts to recover the $134,000, and yesterday a motion was heard in Supreme Court, Chambers, before Judge barrett, on the derendsut’s part, asking that all the proceedings be stayed until the litigation in the akruptey Court was ended.. Lhe caso was argued at length, burger appearing for the motion. jor plaintif, opposing. cision was reserved. THE CLEAVER MURDER. ‘The trial of Frederick Feist, charged with killing Philip Schioppo, was continued in the Court of Gen- eral Sessions yesterday before Judge Gildersieeve. The first witness called was Frederick Weber, who testified that the deceased called the prisoner vile names und that there was a souflle between them, but that it was over in a minute. Dr, McWhinwio testided as to the cause of death, Christopher D, Sclirader, the former employer of both the devexsed and the prisoner, corroborated the testiinony of Weber and also that he saw risen rike deceased. Charles Gratz, an employe of | M Weber & Schrader, teatifiod that he heard the deceased call the prisoner vile names and that the deceased was tutoxicated, This ended the testimony for the proseention aud Mr. Alfred Steckler, counsel for tho prisoner, opened the | case for the defence, contending that it wis one af Justiflable homicide and that the deceusett wan the PoRsOr, and therefore that the prisoner wae eu- titled to @ verdict of acquittal, ‘The triai will be re- sumed this mornin, VIOLATING ‘THE EXCISE LAW, Several persons, indicted at the instance of Rov.

The court room was crowded, and, after quict had becn restored, Mr. Goodrich, counsel for the plaintiff, renewod his motion in re- gard to the direction of a verdict in the case by the Court. He held that the justification should 1. broad as the charge. ‘The motion was opposed by Mr. Parsons, who claimed that by reason of the failure of Mr. Groom to carry out the contract Mr, Cooper was justified in saying what he had. Judgo Pratt then Welivered his charge to the jury, Which was int purtial, and they retired to consider their verdict. After an absence of three hours they returned to the court with a verdict for the defendant. Ar. Cooper Was not present at the time the verdict was rendered. FROM JOY ‘TO GRIEF, Reuben I. Green, manager of the Baine Tea Com- pany's store at Bridgeport, Conn,, was arrested at Porichester, this State, on Tresday afternoon by OM- cor Cornolitis Foley, of the Fitty-seventh Stroot Conrt sqtiad, on a warrant issued by Judge’ Kilbrodh ow tho luth of last July, ‘Lhe charge against Green 16 that ho betrayed a Miss Elizabeth Smith, | now reeiding on Third avenue. was Aparuicnlar friend of the stoptather Mr. Heiden, aud by him eitu the family, Alter he had accom- Plished his purpose, as it is charged, be lett the city, and went to Portchoster, where he became av- quaintod with the family of the late School Commnis- sioner Sunith, of Wesichester, Married one of the deughters, Alter his marriage he went to Bridgeport, Conn, w he has reinained ever since. On Monday aiternoon Mr. Holdeif visited the Fitty- seventh Street Court, and informed Sergeant Osborne Green would certainly be at Portchester following day to attwnd the tuncral of rin-law, Oficer Foley was accordingly despatched thither, took Green inte custody aud aF- raigaed him before Judge Morgan, at the Filty- | seventh Street Court yesterday, iis counsel set « defence that no sition from the Comimis- sioners of Charitics and Correction wax attached to the complaint on which the warrant was issucd, and, sevondiy, that the child of Miss Smith was now in the Foundling Asylum, and, therefore, not liable to become a county charge. On the second point raised by counsel Judge Morgan discharged the prisoner. He walker oui of the court room with a free, joy- owsair, but had hardly reached the outer door when he was confronted by Deputy Sheri MeGonigle, produced an order oF attest tor him issued by dud Danivix, of Ue Supreme Court, last duly, The order | was granted on the complaint ot Miss Smith's | mother, Who claims $10,000 damages tor the los of her danghter’s services, ‘The bail ia fixed at $4,000, and Greon, failing t furnish it, wae locked wp in Ludlow Surevt Jai, FIRING A TENEMENT. ‘THE LIVES OF TWENTY-FOUR FAMILIBS JEOPAR- DIZRD—DEMPSEY AND PERLEY postrrvény IDENTIFY THE ALLEGED “FTREBUGS.” ‘Lhe trial of Isaac Perlstein, jointly indicted with David Freeman, Charles Bernstein and Joseph Levy on the charge of arson in the first degree, was re- sumed yesterday, before Judge Cowing, in Part 2 of the Court of General Sessions. ‘Ihe peenliar charac- ter of the case and the heinousness of the crime im- puted to the accused attracted @ large number of spectators, The prisoner sat next his counsel, Mr. Charles W. Brooke, but remained almost motionless the entire day. The specific charge was the setting fire to the tenement house No. 1 Ludlow street, on the night of the 10th of November, for the purpose of securing certain insurance money, the building at the time being occupied by about twenty-four families. Daniel Dempsey, fireman of Engine Company No. 9, was then examined. He had seen the prisoner about twenty times before the fire took place; sometimes two or three times a day; he had been detailed to watch him; he knew the three other defendants, and had seen them together; he first saw Perlstein, Bernstein and Freeman on the night in question at No, 62 East Broadway, where there is a lager beer saloon kept by a man named Siegel; they left there about @ quarter past nine o'clock; they went up East Broadway to Rutgers street, thence to No. 23 Essex street; Perlstein carried a basket on bis arm at the time, which he haa with him when he left the restaurant. .Witness, in company with Charles Perley, of the Fire Marshal's office, remained on the opposite side of the street; Freeman went into the hall of tho building; Perl- stein handed the basket to Bernstein, crossed over the street, looked about him, then recrossed and followed Freeman into No. 23 Essex street, while Bornstein remained on the corner with the basket; both Freeman and Perlstein then came out together, and Freeman handed Perlstein a demijohn, and they went tothe corner and joincd Bernstein; witness and Perley followed them up Hester street to Ludlow, and they entered the building No. 11; Perley went in after them; witness saw Peristein reachiny out of the window of the third story ant pull in the blinds; Freeman then descended and came out on the street by the alley entrance, and walked up and down the street, Lernstein came buck and looked at the building, while stein and Freeman returned to No. 62 East Broa! way, and went into the saloon about ten o’ciock; witness then went into the engine house at No, 55 East Bro:.dway and warned the assistant foreman, who at once had the horses hitched up; witness then stood in tront of No. 63 when the alarm was given, and he ran aiter the engine to No. 11 Ludlow street, where there was a fire burning in the third story, where he had seen Perlstein put his head out of the window; the alarm sounded ten minutes a.ter he had spoken to the as- sistant foreman in the engine house; wituess, with the other firemen, entered the rooms and found the place ablaze, put the fire was quickly extinguished, the engine having been promptly on hand, Wit ness then described the movements of the accused men during the rest of the evening. DEMPSEY POSITIVELY IDENTIFIES PERLSTEIN. The witness was examined at great length by Mr. Brooke as to his identification of Perlstein at the third story window in Ludlow street. He said it was a bright inoonlight night, and swore distinctly to the identity of Fkerlstein as the man he saw closing the shutters. Charles H. Perley was then called by Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Rollins, who corroborated the tor- mer witness’ story. He further stated that he had foliowed the accused to No, 11 Ludlow street and saw them unlock the doors of the room ou the third story and enter; shortly after Freeman came out, and he (Witness), who was watching from the stairs above, followed him out, but again returned to the building and in about fifteen ininutes Perlstein and Bernstein came out, locking the door behind them, aurd, joiuing Freeman, went in the direction of Canal street; wit- ness remained iu the building, and in a short time discovered that the room just vacated by the three men was on tire; he at once torced open the door and saw the lounge on fire, another fire in the centre of the floor, another by the window facing the street nearest to Hester street and another in the bedroom; clothing saturated with kerosene was scattered over the floor; witness sounded tie fire alarm and rushed back to the building, where, with the assistance of some citizens, he succeeded m extinguishing the flames. There were two distinct fires on the louuge— one at each end, When the firemen arrived the flames were nearly extinguished. The floor was saturated with kerosene oil; there was some on the lonnge, and a connection was made to the bedroom. Everything was upside down, materials soaked in the oil be scattered in every direction. The tloor was charred, which a fire had becn lighted. Witness discovered several cheap calico dresses piled on a table in the centre of theroom, which had also taken fire, All the articles found were saturated with kerosene oil. Witness remained at the scene until the insurance patrol had cleaned up and got things in shape. ‘, oe further hearing of the case will be resumed 0-day. GUMBLETO} A MANDAMUS FOR THEIR EXAMINATION GRANTED BY JUDGE BARRETI—RUMORS OF A SECOND APPEAL, As the case now stands J, Adriance Bush has scored a point in his favor in the motion of his application for a peremptory mandamus directing County Clérk Gumbleton to permit bim to examine the books and records in his office, A decision in the case was given yesterday by Judge Barrett, before whom the application was made, granting the writ. The follow ing is Jndge Barrett's decision, which, as will be seen, is short, sharp and decisiv. JUDGE BARRETT 'SgpECISION. After what was said wt the close of the argument, it is only necessary to add that in our judgment the previous proceeding is 10 Lar to the present, and t the sufficient reason that the right is clearly c tinuous. There is not! to prevent Mr, Bush or any other citizen from examining the books in ques- tion every day the County Clerk's office is open, and the denial of the right is in plain disregard of the law. There is nothing in the point that the books are not kept. Mr. Gumbleton makes no such claim, and it is of no cousequence what Mr. Bush has been “led to believe” trom the transcript of accounts in the Comptrol!er’s office. The law requires the books to be kept, whether the relator believes in their existence or not, Mr. Gumbleton is bound to comply with the law and exhibit them on demand. Motion granted with cosis. NEXY STEP IN THE PROGRAMME, The filing of the above order carries with it the usualtwo days’ notice, until the end of which time of course no effort will be made to enforce compliance with the judicial mandate, Meantime Mr. Gumble- ton is in consuitation with his counsel as to the next step to be taken in the programme. Te were yes- terday coutlicting rumors in the matter, one that no further opposition woula be made to the examination of the books, and another that application would be made to another judge for astay on Judge Berrett's order pending the decision by the Supreme Court, General Term, on the appeal taken trom the prior mandamus granted w Judge Davis. CONVICTED OF BURGLARY. John Rogors, alias “Shorn’’ Rogers, was convicted of burglary in the second degree yesterday in the Kings County Court of Sessions. He was arrested for robbing the residence of Theodore Scheflenberg, in September last, and soou after was married by the Judge to a very pretty girl © whom had been ea- gaged for a long time. GREELEY'S FIRST) COUSINS.

SWAMPED BY MORTGAGES, HOW THE WESLEY MEFTHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF BROOKLYN WAS BUILT, AND WHY If WILL BE SOLD. The Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church, Brooklyn, is advertised to be sold under foreclosure of mort- gage on the lst prox. The corner stone of the edifice was laid in the fall of 1867 on the northwest corner of Tompkins and Willoughby avenues, and a pretens tious building was run up, with asharp and weather- Bauge crowned steeple, at 4 cost of about $15,000; $12,500 of the money was obtained from the Williams- burg Savings Bank at seven per cent interest per an- num. Before the structure was completed, a portion of the society, fearing the effect of this debt, left and joined the neighboring church ou Greene avenne, Mr. Robert Benson, a retired ropemaker, joined the Wesley Society abont this time and was elected treasurer, To show his appreciation of the honor conferred upon him he advanced $7,500 to complete the church, taking a second mortyage therefor. ‘This mortgage he presented to his daughter, Mrs. Abe Brower, though he drew the interest on it himself for some years. The income of the church was never sufficient to pay the running expenses, but the many dwelling houses in course of erection in the neighborhood pointed to better prospects in the future, and year after year the deficiency was made up by Mr. Benson as treasurer, or by some of the other trustees by giving their individual notes for various amounts. ‘THE CHURCH'S INDEBTEDNESS. Affairs went on in this way until it was deemed necessary to erect a chapel adjoining the church for ‘use as a Sabbath school, lecture and meeting room, At an expense of about $8,000 such a structure was completed, Then it was found that Mr. Benson had advanced over $5,500, besides the accommodation notes that were scattered around the market in pay- ment of the.running expenses of the church. To relieve the society of this sum as a “floating debt” he took, about three years ayo, a third mort- gage on the church property for $5,500, ‘The ehurch debt at that date was altogether about $25,000, The interest on this debt, at seven per cent per annum, $1,960, and the bp of the pastor and rent of par- sonage, $1,500, made the annual payments nearly $3,5u0, without counting gas, heating and other nec- essary expenses. Fairs, lectures and extra collections were all called into play to make the income reach the expenditures, but without avail, Next Mr. Benson ran short of ready means, the iall in real estate having crippled him, and piece after piece of property went to pro- poo for other pieces, until he died on December 26, 877. ‘TO BE FORECLOSED. ‘The church people were then periodically brought face to face with the financial difficulties, and strag- gled to overmaster them, but have slowly suc- cumbed, and finally defaulted in their payment of interest. Mrs. Brower dia, and her husband pressed for.the interest on her mortgage. The savings bank, unwilling to allow the default of interest to proceed further on their mortgaze, commenced proceedings to foreclose a tew days ayo, and on the 1st prox. the buildings and land will bé sold. The treasurer of the church, Mr. T. C. Nostrand, in conversation with # HERALD reporter said !—*In my opinion the church and Land will not bring more than $40,000 or $12,000, which will not pay the first mortgage. RevorreR—Then Mrs. Benson and Mr. Brower will be lett out in the cold ? Mr. Nosraaxp—I am afraid that is just how it will stand. Ido not sec how it can be otherwise, but the society will take cure of Mrs. Benson. Rerorren—But what will the society do—dissolve? Nosrraxp—Oh, no! They expect to get the church back, that is if the bank buys it in, which they may sbe compelled todo. ‘Then we can keep up our ex- istence and go on again in a better position than we are now, At this point a collector called on Mr. Nostrand to demand payment of tour months’ rent on the par- sonage, and was met with the reply:—"We have no money, but will do the best we can for you as we yo jong. In reference to the notes given by Mr. Benson to relieve the church from pressing creditors Mr. traud said:—At the death of Benson I went to the holders of these notes, some three im number, and notified them that the church was responsible for them. They were not individual paper, and I have since been paying $300 per quarter on them—that is, $100 on each note.” He could nog state the exact amount of the floating debt of the ghurch at this time, but said it was considerable. BROOKLYN TABERNACLE SUED. The Brooklyn’ Tabernacle, of ‘which Rev. T. De Witt Talmage is the pastor, has been sued before Judge Neilson ond a jury in the Brookiyn City Court by William J. Gelston, its ex-treasurer, to recover $1,200 due on a promissory note. The case was called for trial yesterday morning, when tha court room was crowded, members of the Tabernacle being in the majority. Rev. Dr. Talmage, pastor of the church, was present and watched the proceedings with a great deal of interest. ‘The first witness called was Mr. Gelston, the plain- tiff. He identified a note shown him as one made by defendants, dated January 16, 1878, and payable to Rey. Mr. Talmage. It was for $1,500 an], on March 28, 1878, witness paid it, as defendant bad not the money to meet it. Witness testified further that he partly paid himself out of moneys of defendant, snd the present suit was brought to recover the balance due him, Witness swore that on Febri debt of the Church was announced at # subscriptions were given with the understanding that the entire debt should be wiped out within six months. Counsel for the defence then asked that the Court direct a verdict for the plaintiff for the difference between his claim and the amount he subscribed. The Court refused to do so, and the case for the de- fence was then opened. Nelson Hamblin, the present treasurer, testified as the many in which the books of tie church were kept. iliam A, Hall, who acted as treasurer of the church for a short time, testified regarding the subscriptions mace on the 17th of February. The trial will be continued to-day. ESE ISS NEW YORK CATTLE MARKETS. nvexters ror Two 22, 1870.
