MILLIONS IN I. Testing the Validity of Tennessee’s In- ternal Improvement Bonds. Important Suit on Behalf of the Bondholders, oe Mempnis, Feb, 6, 1879. ‘There has just been filed in this city with the clerk of the United States Circuit Court for the Sixth Jue dicial district of Western Tennessee a petition astho initiatory step in an important action relating to in- ternal improvement bonds issued by the State of Tennessee to the Memphis, Clarksville and Louis- ville Railroad Company. The petition is filed on * halt of Calvin Amory Stevens, of New York, an own of thirty of the bonds, on his own and others behalf owning similar bonds, and is signed as solicitors aud counsel on his behalf by Mr. Edward L. Andrews, of New York, and ex-Judge Hoadley, of Cincinnati, with whom the venerable Charles O’Conor is asso- viated as consulting counsel. The petition, which ‘s exceedingly voluminous, sets forth im substance that when the Memphis, Clarksville and Louisville Railroad was about being constructed, in the year 1852, the State of Tennessee had an act passed whereby {ts eredit was to be leut to the company to aid in the construction of the road by the issue by the State, for the purchase of rails and the laying of the same, its bonds to be known as internal im- provement bonds. Such bonds, to the.amount of $1,582,000, were issued to innocent holders, among whom is the petitioner. By the act authorizing such issue it was provided that they should be payable in such place in the United States as the president of the railroad company should designate; that. soon as the bonds were issued they should at once, by operation of law, become a lien on all of the road, then or thereafter completed, without a deed from the company, such lien becoming thereupon in- vested in the State of Tennessce as security for the payment of the bonds, with interest; that at least tif- tech days before the interest on these should fall due it would be the duty of the company to deposit in the Bank of Tennessee, at Nashville, funds suflicient to meet the same; that should there be a fail- ure to make such deposit it would then: become the duty of the Governor of the State to immediately appoint some suitable person at the ex- peuse of the cofapany to take possession and control of the road and pay over its income toward the liqui- dation of such interest; that if there should bea failure on the part of the company to pay the prin- cipal of the bonds the Governor of the State shall have the right to direct judicial proceedings to be in- stituted, aud the courts shall thereupon make such orders and decrees as may be deemed necessary to secure payment of the bonds and the State from loss, including the appointment of # receiver and a sale of the road if necessary. Of these bunds there are now outstanding and unpaid 96, ot the value of $1,000 each. On thee there is due up to the Ist of January last and a consecutive years’ interest, amounting in the aggregate to about twenty. one per cent of their par value. During the late civil war the railroad company did not pay the interest on the bonds issued to it, and atter the war ontinued in great part in default. The State of nessee had iikewise been in defwult during the same time. The market value ot the bonds had in the meantime falien ;reatly, depre- ciating to about fitty per cent of their par vaiue, Under these circumstances the p! t was conceived of avoiding the liavilities of the rations for the — ot the bonds 1oaned to'them, and of ena- ling the State to reduce her unsecured debt at the expensa of the holders of the internal improvement bonds. That project was to bo entorced by treating the lien on the raiiroads as the absolute property ot the State without regard to the trust in tavor o: the holders of the bonds whose moneys tue companies had re- ceived. nalature was to be iuduced to pro- ceed on this basis, and to sell aud assign the lien oa each road, in consideration ot the receipt by the State of au wmount of its bonds trom the company without regard to whether they were the bonds issued to aud the obliugfions of the company deliver- ing them and were entMied to the lien on its road, ACTION OF THE GENEKAL ASSEMBLY. In July, 1870, the General Assembly of the State wed an act authorizing # sale of the interost of ‘Tennessee in the defaulting railroads for a sum equal to the amount o: the bonds issued to thei. by the State, with interest, payment tor which could be made by an equal amount of the bonds of the State, issued in aid of any such. railroad or ior any other ot This prico could not be ob- tained, and in December of the ‘sume year the Legisiature passed auother act authorizing the sale for any amount of Louds of the dtate, including those not secured by hens on the roads, leaving the bouds so scoured still outstamling and wwpud. By un additional act passed in 1371 the sales chus pro- vided for, and which inciuded a sale of the Memphis, Clarksvilie and Louisville road, were confirmed. By virtue of euch sale the railroad compang claims that the lion on its property is satisfleg nyd discharged without payment of the interest or priucipal of the bonds in suit. But the potition claims that such sale was void in law and fraudulent in fact; that the pur- pose of the legislation was to convert the Len hela in wust by the State to the State's benedt; that by such acts an ament or sale of the mort- gage held by the State was a violation of the trust Tepowed in the State by contract with*tie purchase ot the bonds issued by it to the company. Its duty, the petition asserts, as trustee of the security, was merely to preserve and enforce it as ditected in the statute constituting the deed of trust. It could not #o transfer the security which it held in trust, as to confer # title upon another divested of the trust ‘The trust was en: bodied iu a. public law and consti- tuted exprcss notice to everybody. No sale of the statutory lien was authorized by the acta constitu- ting it, aud no realization or enforcement of the lien, in any manuer contemplated, save and cxeept for the Venent of the boudhviders. Such legivlative acis sought to impair the contract with the internal im- ovement bondholders contained in the gencral w of 1¢62. They were @ viviation of the tederal constitution, and conferred no right or authority to make the sale referred to, or to confer any title on the purchaser, save and except it may be @ title in trust for the benefit of the bonds in suit. Not only were the acts purporting to conter jurisdiction of a juoicial nature m relation to this sale repugnant to the constitution ot the United States, but in conflict with the constitution of the State of ‘Tennessee also, For so it is that the constitution of that State pro- hibits teow! poten special laws inconsistent with the general laws of the laud. OVINION OF A NASHVILLE JUDGE. In the your 1870, and about the time of the passage of the kets mentioned, Edward MH. East, then counsel for the Nashville and Decatur Ratlroad Company, whose road had also been buiit by aid of internal ui- provany bonda issued by the State, gave au opinion oiding that the lien on the different roads for pay- ment of these bonds was the absoiute property of the State, whlch she could treat in any manner she saw Wi bondhoiders, Svou thereatter Mr. East becaine Judge of the Chancery Court #t Nushviile, and the General Assembly enacted their law that a bill “shall be immediately filed in the C! Court at Nash- ville,” ulthough Nashville was not Within the county wherein the place of business of nearly ali the companies wero situated. Aiter reciting at length the tormal hm psn procevdings and docree of Chancellor t,-whereby was consummated the alleged void sale in violation and traud of the righis ot the innocent bonduolders, the petition asserts and cliuryes that the acts of @ date subsequent to the issuance of the said bonds, in so far as tuey attempt ox may be construed to have authorized the satintuc- tion ot the statutury hen established for the benefit of the holders of the internal improvement bonds of ‘Tennessee loaned io the said company, by any other means than payment, impaired of sought to impair tue obligation of the coutract aforementioned, aud were in Viviation of the tederal constitution and void, and ail acts committed therennder are illegal and null, The petitioner or piaintil in the case con- cludes bis petition by demanding, om the tacts alleged therein, that the priority of the said Hien of the internal improvement bonds and coupons aforesaid, upon ali the railroad equipments, incomes, tolis, riguts, privileges. property and trau- chises of the Memphis, Clar ie unt Louisville Rafiroad Company within the Stave of Tennessee, way Le established above ail other claims and de- mands a8 constituting the firat aud pa cumbrance on said property and rights income of said property, irom its use in t spplied in payment of the mierest on the « juprovement bouds, and that the pro} rty may be peek by order of the Court aud placed in the hands ot receivers, to bo admimetered wceveding to the liens aud trusts declared upon it to which it has Deen piodged and coveuantud to be applied, Although this proceeding only nominally applios to about $1,000,000 of the stock of the road involved, yet the result, whatever it may be, must goveru aa imense amouut of stack issued wider similar circt stances to other roads, aggregating sevore! millions, _ which has shared the same legislative aud judi- cial tate, A COLORADO SWINDLER FOUND. The Denver News, of February 5, says that B. Erlanger, the former banker in that city, who ab+ seunded seven years ago, with $35,000 of his de- positors’ money, has just been found in the Sand- wich Islands. The News adds: — % As matters now stand there is an empty vaultin the Denver Savings Bonk, another at Biack Hawk, about $35,000 of the people's mouey in the pocket of Hienjamin Erlanger, avd Lenjamin Erlanger, the “manager,” sone thousands of miles away, A meeting of the depositors in the losings institue eventing. tion wae fore Te inf hoe ‘8 ofties Between for |ins—moetly every tuilers—with honesty Yeltion all over tiem, were regard to any trust in favor of (he | resent, and it really excited sympathy to note the lengthened visages, As there is no telegraphic communication with Honolulu the negotiations tor Erlanger’s return to this city will have to be carried by mail from San Francisco, wl is as far as telegraphic messeges would reach. The fact that Erlanger is a fugitive from justi.e would prevent hii from taking adyan- tage of the fact that there wus no extradition treaty between the two countries. There is a t » how- ever, with the government of the Hawaiian Islands, so that if Erianger’s creditors want to yet him within bailing distance, where they can talk to him about a compromise, they have @ dine opsonsanity to do it now. It is fair to be inferred that the absconding banker has money, or he would not be dallying away at that far-away capital, « THE FSSHKILL BANK, STARTLING TESTIMONY IN THE CIVIL svUITS—- WHERE THE MISSING MONEY WENT—A MYS- ‘TERY CLEARED UP. 4 Poucuxrepate, Feb, 9, 1879. ‘The examination of witnesses in the suits against the receiver of the National Bank of Fishkill was re- sumed in this city yesterday before Reterce Brew- ster, of Newburg. Throughout the two trials of the defaulting cashier, Alexander Bartow, there was a suspicion that efforts were made to keep back the main facts in relation to transactions that led to the ruin of the bank and Bartow also. Civil suits were instituted and at every examination before the referee astounding facts have come to light and yesterday's exantination proved no exception to the rule, Indeed, the statements made on Saturday by witnesses under oath clear away all doubts as to what became of niost of the money used by Bartow. Many believed, when the bubble burst, that he was not poor, but that he had carefully saved thousands of dollars. He was a Sunday school teacher, a man much respected in the best society, and he, apparently, had no costly vices. What, then, became of the money stolen, some $75,000 or $100,000? One of the answers to the question, and the main auswer, is in the following testimony given on Saturday :— Leonard Horton, sworn, said:—I reside in New Yprk; in December, 1874, I resided in” Fishkill; I ‘was present at the sale of the Dutchess ore beds on the foreclosure of Van Wyck Brinckerhoff’s mortgage; before the sale the following sums were paid on the ~mortgage from February,’ 1872, to May, 1874, in the order named:—$4,000, $8,000, $2,000, $5,500, $4,500, $14,863 92; the property sold for $18,580; of this $2,780 17 were paid down, it being fifteen per cent of the purchase money; the personal property brought $1,503; to who paid the sums mentioned as paid before the sale witness said he paid the $4,000 out of his own monev; the $8,000 came from two notes which witness and Bartow arranged to have cashed by O. M. Cutler, of No. 58 Broadway, New York; the $2,000 came from the sale of ore toCrocker &C ew York. ; the $10,00Uin two items came from Geurge Gay for an interest in‘the ore mines, he pay- ing once $8,000 and then $2,000; then on May 1, 1874, the $14,363 92 came from Alexauder Bartow, cashier of the National Bank of Fishkill; Bartow bought $20,000 worth of the stock of the ore company at par, and Leonard Horton $14,863 94 in drafts, and paid tho remainder as working capital from time to time, and told the witness it was his own money. Witness was shown a paper which, he said, Bertow gave him some time after the sate of the ore bed at Fishkill village. It was an account of money advanced by Bartow up to that time, and he wanted witness to take it to Poughkeepsie and adjust the claims with Allard Anthony, president of the company. The account footed up shows that Bartow dumped into that ore bed property, in less than two years, the sum of $61,138 98, Mr. A. Fowler cross-examined witness severely, Horton in reply to one question said he did not go to Henry Redmond in New York and say to him, “Here is $75,000 between the two banks in suit at Pough- Seep: and if you will go up and help mé swear we wil nt half the money,” nor anything to that effect. A. BANK EXPERT. A. W. Sherman, a bank expert, who was first em- ployed by the government in examining the beoks of the National Bank of Fishill, and wio was afterward employed by Receiver BoMwick, was placed upon the witness stand. He held a memgrandum in his hand His testimony showed in a series of astonishing fig- utes how Bartow deceived the Banking Department from time to time in his reports of overdrafts. The ‘contr: are simply astounding. The figures in tab- ular torm are given below:— r Reported Date, Overdrafts, February, 1873. + $704 59 April, 1573. . 896 OO June, 1873. + 1177 09 September, 1873 + "990 72 January, 1874 é 21 Febru: + Tse May, 1 + Gol OL Tune, 1874... « 702 50 October, 1874. + 1,047 09 December, 1874. + G19 65 March, 1575. . 658 75 May, 1875 + 482 06 June, 1875. + 798 40 October, 1875. « 969 67 Decomber, 187: + , 878 60 March, 1876. 21,187 04 May, 1876... + 1,343 28 June, 1875. « 892 81 October, 1876. see 999 1 ‘76,413 37 ‘tho overdrafts were found distributed through six accounts—viz,, J. B, Schenck & Son, C. R. Owen, J. N. ‘trimblo, Fishkill and Dutchess Ore Company and E. P. Dykman. During the examination of the expert Mr. Fowler stated that Mr. Browning, one of the bookkeepers of the bank, had sworn that he had falsificd the books from time to time. Judge Wheaton replied that Browning had simply followed Cashier Bartow’s diree- tions as cashier. The expert swore that he commenced his examination of the books as far back as 1871, and examined every book iu the bank, He exhibited ac- counts between the Fourth National Bank of New York and the National Bank of Fishkill and the re- conciling sheets of Cashier ww. He had com- pared them and found by the books of the National k of Fishkill a caste to the Fourth National Bank, “‘November, 1872, New York Exchange checks, $15,000." By the statement of the Fourth National Bank he found no corresponding credit to the Fishka!l bank; he found on the 7th of November, 1872, an- other charge, “New York Exchange Bank, $10,000; he found no corresponding credit to that amount on the statement of the Fourth National Bank; under date of November 30, 1872, he found a credit on tho books of the National Bank of Fishkill to the Fourth National Bank as follows:—‘Draft 1,039, $15,000;"" also on same date, “Draft 1,040, $10,000; he found no charge in the statement ‘of the Fourth National Bank for .those credits; the next chargo, said the expert, is November 14, 1872, in the book of the Na- tional Bank of Fishkill against the Fourth National Bank, “Circulation, $15,000;"" I found by reference to | the credit side of the journal of that date that $15,000 appears to have been taken out of the cash, and it does not spear it was deposited in the Fourth National Benk; if $10,000 didn't go to the Metropol- itan Bank and $5,000 to the Security Life Insurauce Company the money was dropped out altogether. Jang ‘ PO ing te ora eae. shee omas §, Dearin, who was tem: ly emy inthe bank by Bartow, testified ng male The payment ot filteen per cent at the ore bed sale and Bartow gave him the money; he went to New York ‘on several occasions with bouds for Bartow.

The edifice was crowded by citizens and officials.

Houghton Meeting, 1879, Crite- rion Stakes, Zrialand Boreas. In the same caleadar which contains the announce- ment of the foregoing, it appears Mr, Lorillard de- clares his racing colors, which are slightly diferent from those he runs his hoi in at home, being first color cherry, black hoop -or sleeves, black cap, with gold tassel; second color same, with black sash, The object of entering Duke of Majenta in the Metropolitan Stakes, run on April.23, is a mystery, unless it is with the object ot getting aline as to the handicapper’s idea of his merit. The Duke has not been outside his stable door since he was taken sick, and so turf men will be in some measure able to Judge how serious an illness he has had, and they will at once conclude that in three months he cannot re“ euperate sufficiently to race, even provided he was now able to be about. Fortunately, there does not seem to be any reason to fear that his wind will be affected, but the continued discharge trom the ab- cesses which covered his entire’ body must have pulled him down considerably. Indeed, if he had not been @ horse of an iron constitution he must have succumbed to the attack. It is questionable whether the Duke will even be galloped before April, and if he is it by Goodwood Mr. Brown will be effect- ing little short of amiracle, His admirers in America May rest assured that September or even October anust arrive before the horse will be able to do jus- tice to their anticipations. On Thursday of this week Mr, Brown had Parole, Uncas and Pappoose out on the new exercise ground behind the Warren Hill plantation, and they did some trotting and easy can- tering. Parole has got on wonderfully since hig ar- rival, anc seems to lave entirely recovered trom the effects of his voyage, judging trom the way he has filled out. His rough appearance, compared with our Enylish horses, is very noticeable, but that will. im- prove, while a good many of the cracks might well take a pattern from his grand action. Providing the gelding is any. way leniently treated in the andicaps for which he is entered, there is no reason why he should not do weil even if he cannot get home first. Uncas must be relegated to the category of useful colts for he has not got on well enough to take rank ag a dan- gerpus Derby horse, though between now and June he may improve. His opponents aro not likely to be standing still, however, and they have already a good deal the best of him, The deticiency in his quarters and thighs is still conspicuous, aud he wants the driving power to take him up the steep gradients at in ee If judiciously managed he will be more likely to pay his way in handicaps. Pappoose is filling out very nicely, and it she does not turn out a flyer, then she is the most deceitful looking filly at lewmarket. Of the others Borwas is the most back- ward, but he was a very late foal, so he is handi- capped by his age, What Mr. Lorillard’s horses want, and indeed all of our horses from ene end of the iand. to the other, is a speedy change in the weather and a good open spring. SPORTING* EVENTS ABROAD. RACING AT NICE. {From the Sporting Life, Jan. 25.] The long dreary winter rendered to turfites the prospect of the sport at Nice particularly agreeable. We have passed through six months of inactivity, only occasionally enlivened by the meetings at un- important jumping tracks. Con#equently the ar rivals at Nice on the two days preceding the races were very considerable, the “noble army” of sports- men being present to aman. Of course the great element of interest was the Prix de Monaco, on which the betting ran high. Chilblain occupied the envizble position of first fayorite immediately that it became rumored around that neither Citizen nor Marshal Niel would put in an appearance. Muscadin was fancied, and much money ‘went on him. Alto gether sportsmen were greatly interested in the event, which had been so long on the (apis, The announcement of a 20,000f. prize had giventn additional zest to the meeting, which was thus ren- dered more important. Fears been expressed concerning the weather, which had been ina very bad stat2 during the preceding week. However, when Monday broke, we sew that our apprehensions were premature, for the day was as fiue as possible— in fact, the most perfect day that could be wished, Conveyance to the scene of operations was an im- portant question with many who were unprepared to pay the exorbitant prices demanded by the owners of vehicles, hacks, or what not. Transit by rail was, of course, available, but the arrangemepts of the P. L. M. C. were so bad that the trip was unpleasant, Never before had there been such an attendance, and the day will count as a memorabje one in the annals of the Nice turf, a * Two o'clock was the hour of commencement, but the grounds were crowded long’ before that time, ‘The heavy charges exacted by job masters had not diminished the number of carriages prosent; the whole town had seemingly been ransacked to secure these means of transportation. The course looked charming, aud the new track, Iaid out by the care of M. Dennotier, suited the Se admirably, Fault could perhaps be found, however, with the jumps, which had been lowered so much that they haraly constituted fairly formidable obstacles. This is the prevailing mania in France st the present time, although it has evidently a detrimental effect upon aleeplechasing, Baron Finot’s declaring his intention to start Mus- cadin in the first event—the Prix des Haras—sent M. Balensi’s Oiseleur =z toa high ro on the list, the head of which was hi by Chilblain until shortly previous to the start. To begin with, the English champion had partigans innumerable; but toward the close his two nenis—Oiseleur and Cap—were greatly tancied. Forcinal’s La Pitache tound some friends at her murket price of 8 to 1, as also did Clin-Foe. ‘The ball was opened by the Prix des Huras, which EY “moral” for Baron Fizot’s doughty old Masca- din, Indeed, we think that the Baron committed rare bit of folly when he withdrew Muscadin from the cup, which might otherwise have secured, Five starters camg out in the firet race, which Baron Finot certainly coveted, for he also started his good mare Mina, who, however, agin second fiddle to her companion. ' Getting off with tho lead Muscadin led from start to finish, winning easily. ‘The real business of the day now began in good earnest, the market fluctuating greatly, though Chil. Oiseleur and Cap were still hot favorites. Chil- looked iu the pink of condition; Cap and Kirtling also admired, but the event carried out the yen- opinion concerning the latter—that he was not cient quality. Much to the annoyance of the sportsmen asse: bled two abortive attempts were made before the | were despatched to a fine start. with Chilblain in w vance, closely pursued by Jocko and Cap. These po- sitions were kept during the first part of the race, atter which the dark blue jacket wes ever and anon eclipsed byghe colors of Sit Kdwrd’sJocko. Comin, home, the English champion was seen to falter, and ouentering the straight his place was occupicd by Jocko and Ojveleur, All was over then; after a fine Gnish the rank outsider secured the cup and prize money for his owner, La Pitache never reaching him, Cap third and Oiseleur running in fourth, The final steeplechase, the Prix du Conseil Général, was re- duced to a maten, Subjoined are details: — Prix pes Hanas, Heaper Rack—3,000 frances, for horses of four years and upward; 4,800 métres, Baron Finot’s Muscadin, by Capitaliste—itich- mond Hill, 72 kil.. ++ -(Kawards) 1 Baron Finot's Mina, 76 Mitchell) 2 Mr. Diggles’ Sicambro, (Page) 3 Comte L.

King Lear, who had behaved badly at the start, could not keep with the lot, aud finally came to grief over a hedge. Halfway around, Page, on Sicambre, was hard at work, and the race was then at the merey of Baron Finct's two repre- sentatives, Who cane on, and Muscadin won as he Liked by @ length, Sicambro a bau third.

ROSS, OF HALIFAX, AND EMMETT, OF THE TYNE, MATCHED TO ROW ON THE THAMES—ENG- LAND’S GREAT COURSING EVENT. The engagement of Wallace Ross, of Halifax, to row Frank Emmett, of the Tyne, over the Thames | championship course, March 10, for $1,000, is attract- ing much attention among boating men, and this with the match between Hanlan and Hawdon will | make a pair of very interesting international races. | Wallace Ross has been taken in hand by Charles Bush, a well known patron of rowing, The Bush ‘hool” includes Higgins, Thomas and one or two other professional oarsmen, and it Koss had not shown that he knew weil how to handle the sculls it ix hardly likely that he could have found backers, in that quarter at least. He is, I believe, certain to de- feat Emmett, but he must do much work before the | day of the race, for he is far above his proper row- ‘ing weight, Emmett rowed a match race the other day with a man named Strong at Barrow-on-Fur- ness, and they fouled three thnes in the middle | of the river.” The referee said he did not think one man was moré to blame than the other, but, nevertheless, he gave Emmett the race. The | decision gave the greatest dissatisfaction, mote es- | cially because Strong proved himsgif to be much ¢ better man and won easily. The men Lave made anether match for double the original sum. Em- | mett’s friends say he was in,very poor condition, and | that Strong will find him a much more difficult cus- tomer to deal with next time they meet, We are rapidly approaching the great Waterloo coursing, which ‘will take place on Febraary 19, 20 and 21, but the frost put a stop to all the usual run ot meetings for such a time that the dogs will have to run untried in public or at home with dogs that have performed well in public. Betting on the Cup is reported daily, but until the name of the nomina- tion of Coomassie, the winner in 1877 and 1878, is an- nonnced no really genuine market can be reported. Once upon a time the Waterloo Cup was a gentleman's affair; now it is one of the greatest gambling events. of the year, and many tricks are resorted to in the way of nominating dogs which do not reflect credit upon the sport of coursing. MAY MARSHALL'S WALK. Wasuineron, D. 0., Feb, 9, 1879. Miss May Marshall completed her 1,930th quarter mile at eleven o’clock to-night. Durig the day her quarters were slow, but at night she brightened up, completing her 1,926th quarter in 2m. 58s. She has not yet decided whether she will keep up the walk to 3,000 quarters or content herself with beating Mme. Anderson's record. SCHLICK’S SHIRTS. Martin Sghlick, a young German, with a swollen” face and blackened eyes, stood before His Honor in the Essex Market Police Court yesterday morning as complainant against another young German named Eugene Howell, who was in the custody of Officer McCarthy, of the Tenth precinct. “What is this all about, officer?’ asked Justice | Murray, good naturedly. “It's an assault and battery case, Your Honor. You see this man,” pointing to the complainant— (the Justfce saw him). a Well, he charges this here man’? — ‘Dot's a he. Dot ain’t so. Idon’t scharge dot yon cent!” broke out Schlick excitedly. it,” said His Honor, “you want to charge him — Nein, nein, not von damnd cent. I vant my schirts.

Dot man make me doo plack eyes; auber 1 get me dem schirts I vos all scor- rect, «Aow me von vord, Schudge,” said tho prisoner atthe bar. ‘Dot man vas make me oud all wrong. I don’t struck dot man.” ‘Five doliars,” said the Justice, and Schlick left the court siniling. TAKEN BACK TO BOSTON. The case of M. F. Page, of Boston, who, it is alleged, defrauded bis creditors of a large amount of money, attracted considerable attention and has been treated at great length in the newspapers. It will be remembered that Page's friends did their Best to savehim from imprisonment. Strenuous efforts were made to have the amount of bail placed at $25,000, but the Court exacted $75,000, and counsel for tie defence proceeded to find an eligible person to sign the bail bond. G. W. Flower came forward to act in that capacity, and represented himself as the owner of $100,000 worth ot real estate. The Court ordered an investigation into his financial status, and dis- covered that the man who had signed the bail bond as Frank J. Watson was realiy G. W. Flower. Flower fled from Boston and eluded the detectives up to Saturday, when, while inquiring ‘for letters in the New York Post Office, he was arrested by Detective Deerborn, of Boston, and Detective Cunning, of the Central office, this city. The prisoner was locked up at Police Headquarters and was taken to Boston yesterday. COURT CALENDARS—THIS DAY. Scrreme CourtT—Cnammens—Held by Judge Dono- hue—Court opens at half-pest ten o'clock A.
