THE TABERNACLE BEATEN. ‘Tho suit of ex-Treasurer William J. Gelaton, of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, brought against the trustees of that church to recover $1,342 loaned by him to the defendants, was somewhat abruptly “wound up” yesterday to the discomfiture of the Tabernacle hosts, When Judge Reynolds took his seat on the bench of the Brooklyn City Court, where the case has been on trial since Monday last, the court room was crowded, and Rev. T. De Witt Talmage looked as cheerful as though he was present to receive tidings of joy. Several witnesses wero called to the chair who testified as to when, where, how and why they subscribed to liquidate the Tabernacle debt. Among the number was the plaintiff, Mr. Gelston, who was recalled and examined as to the “beg’’ of February 17, and the subscriptions of ‘‘Married Women” and of “= Friend of the Church.” Fire Marshal Thorne also told how he gave $50. ©. C. Shelly testified that he gave $550 for his class. On the cross-examination the latter gentleman said that he understood that the conditions on which the money was subscribed were auch that it was to be paid in four years; it was under such conditions that the class subscribed; he was under the impression that it was so publicly an- nounced, Counsel entered into an argument at some length, which the Court patiently listencd to. Finally Judge Reynolds interrupted them, saying that ho saw no ground to compel the estoppel to the plaintin, and he was sorry to come to the conclusion that they had not shown anything which had entitled them to this counter claim of plamntifl’s subscription to go before tho jury. He should, there fore, direct a verdict for the plaintiff for $1,443 44, The’ jury found a verdict accordingly. ‘Pastor Talmage’s smiling virage became rigidly elongated, Major Corwin’s countenance gave forth a sallow glow, the deacons, sub-deacons, masters of cere- monios, Lay College disciples and men of the Taber- nacle generally were taken aback at the wnoxpected turn in the tide of their second trial and tribulation, and for afew minutes consternation was apparent on all faces save those of the refractory brethren, District Attorney Tenny gave notice of their inten- tion to appeal the ese and move for another trial, EXCISE MONEYS. After Owen Murphy took his flight from this city Messrs, Patterson and Morton, his associate Com- missionérs on the Board of Excise, opened a now ac- count in the German Exchange Bank, the amount of their deposit being about $17,000, Of this sum, $1,100 was taken from the safe of the Commissioners, the lock of which had to be forced. The Court is now being called upon to determine to whom this money belongs, and the bank has brought a suit to settle the question before Judgo Van Vorst, holding Supreme Court, Special Term. Morton and Patterson claim thatthe money shall be paid to them, they holding themselves responsible to the city for the inoney thus coming into their hands, as the former Excise Commissioners, The present Board, Messrs, Merkle and Morrison, think that the money should be paid to them. ‘The liquor dealers whose payments for licenses taake up the und, but who have never received any licenses, claim that they are the parties having the firat claim on the money. Various co sel appeared, representing the various claimants, and there was considerable testimony taken, Judge Van Vorst toog the papers for examination, A FEMALE CRUSOE. AN INDIAN WOMAN EIGHTEEN YEARS ON SAN NICOLAS ISLAND—HOW SHE LIVED, WAS BES- CUED AND DIED. ‘The San Francisco Call of the 7th inst. contains s very interesting account of an Indian woman, who was abandoned on San Nicolas Island, on the coast of Southern California, and spent eighteen years alone there before she was rescued, The main facts aro as follows :— According to the information I have obtained from the three persons consulted through the interpreter, the history of the Indian woman, the feminire “Crusoe,” 18 as follows:—She was absent, gathering wood, when the others were taken a\ but re- turned to the camp or quarters, and finding them do- serted, she followed in time to be taken aboard the schooner, but not finding her children there, one a babe at the breast, and the other about three years old, she plunged into the water and swam ashore in search of them, Unable to find her chil- dren, she returned to the beach just in time to see the schooner leaving. She called to those on board, but the only reply she got, and which she remembered to the day of her death, was ‘“manyana,” pronounced mab-nyah-nah, the Spanish word for “to-morrow,” evidently mean- ing that the schooner would return for her to- morrow or the following day. She threw herself down on the beach and cried long and bitterly. Sho did not find her children, and supposed they were either taken off by the schooner or carried away aud devoured by the wild dogs on the Island. She became very sick and lay along time without either water or food, but finally recovered and forgot her grief in wandering about the island, She lived on a plant resembling the cabbage, called by Californians “palosanto,” and a root known by the name of “coreomit also a yellow root, the name of which was not given, and seal or sea-lion blubber. As sho had abalone shellfish hooks, and lines made of tho sinews of the seal, it is probable she supplied herself with fish from the ocean. ‘An approaching storm and night coming on, t water being quite shoal about the island aud unsafe for a vessel during a high wind, they were compelled to leave for the safety of the schooner, intending to return at a future time for the deserted woman. vessel ran before the gale, and reached San Pedro Harbor in safety; but circumstances did not permit a return prior to the loss of the schocner in a storm afew weeks iater, and the distance to the island was too great to be safely made in small shore boats. In 1851 Mr. Nidever visited the island otter hunt- ing, and signs of a human inhabitant. He saw a footprint made during the previous rainy season, sunken deeply in the now dry, hard ground, and from the size judged it to be that of a woman; also three smail circular enclosures about two hundred yards from the beach and about a mile apart. They were about six feet in diameter, made ot brush; the walls five feet high, with a small opening on ono side, Near these openings were sticks of driftwood stuck in the ground in the form of a tripod support- ing dried seal blubber. These inclosures ap| to be simply wind breaks, affording no protection from the rain. The investigation was pursued no further, as an approaching storm compelled him to leave the Island. Mr. Nidever having scen many otter on his first trip to the island made a second during the winter of 1852, and being requested by the Mission Fathers of Santa Barbara had determined to make a careful hunt for the supposed lone inhabitant of the island. The head of the island being better supplied with fresh water closer to the beach and better facilities for fishing, ond the alti- tude such as to command a view of the greater portion of the island and coast, he epupons if alive she would be found there, and le his ar- rangements accordingly. He and his party tound the same or similar enclosures, above mentioued, and the tripod sticks su, — renewed pieces of blub- ber. In the neighborhood of the huts or wind breaks were seven or eight wild dogs, about the size of a coyote (a small wolf on coast), and in color black and white. Mr. Nidever said he had seen the same kind of dogs among the Northwestern In- dians, ‘They appeared to be very wild, Within half amile of the head of the island they discovered a basket in the crotch of a bush or 8) tree, covered with a seal skin, and containing # dress made of shags’ skins (the shag is a species of duck on this coast that can neither-walk nor fly), caretully tolded up, and several square pieces of skins similar to those of which the dress was made; also a rope mado ot seal sinews, abalone shell fish hooks, bone needles, &c. As it was late and time for them to re- turn to their boat for the night, Mr. Nidever scattered the contents of the basket on the ground, so that upon his return he could judge of the pres- ence or absence of the owner, by finding them gath- ered up or remaining as he lett them. ‘The following four or more days were busily spent in otter hunting, and before the search for the ludian woman was re- newed @ southeast gale compelled them to seck a more hospitable harbor at the island of San Miguel. A third voyage by Mr. Nidever and six others, tour of whom were Indians trom Santa Barbara Mission, was made to the island in July, 1863, and although otter hunting was the main object of the visit the Indian woman was not forgotten. They landed on the northeast side of the island early in the day, and, having selected their camping site, all but one, the cook, started for the head ot the island. Near there were observed fresh footprints leading from the beach to the ridge or higher elevation, but wére soon lost in the moss covered ground, which ended their search for that day. ‘The following.day they were more successful. One of the party, Mr. Brown, covered the object of their search at a distance, and, cautiously approaching in an opposite direction from the balance of the party, got quite close to her with- out being observed. She was in one of her peng, or wind breaks, clothed in # garment made of the skina of the shag, without sleeves, low necked, and, as ob- served when standing up, st to the ankles, She was sitting c! blubber with a rude knife, iron driven into a piece of wood. ‘There was no covering on her head excepting » thick mass of matted hair of a yellowish brown color, duc to the exposure to the sun and air, The hair was short, looking ag thongh the tree ends had rotted off. She would occasionally raise her hand and shade her eyes and look toward the other men on a sandy plain near the beach, whom she evidently saw. ‘here were two or three of the wild dogs around the enclosure, who began to growl as Mr. Brown approached, but ran off at the bidding of their mistress. The balance of the party were now signalled in order that she might be captured if sho atvempted to escape. To the surprise of all she made no attempt to get away, but greeted each one as the approached with a'bow and a smile, and chatted all the time ina dialect that none of them understood, although the Indians accompanying Mr. Nidever were acquainted with several Indian dialects, She was talking, ap) tly to herself, from the time Mr, Brown approached within hearing distance until she was made aware of his presence. With n the enclosure was a fire smouldering, anda large ash pile outside showed that to have been her abiding place for some time. She was very hospita- bie, prep meal from her limited store of roots before nami nd serving the party with a grace and Leng that surprised them all. The ex- pression of her face was pleasing, her features wero regular and her complexion much fairer and her form more symmetrical than that of the Indian women on the main land, and she is believed to have belonged to a different and superior race, which opinion is strengthened by the fact of Mons. Leon de Cessac, Frenchman, now engaged in collecting archwological and other specimens of bygone years on the Pacific coast of North and South America for a Paris museum, finding muny things on the island (San Nicolas) similar to those previously collected in Oregon, Washington Territory and further north, and unlike anything found on either the main land or the other islands. Also the skulls and other bones of the human skeleton found there are unlike those found in othe: tions of Southern California, A notable obser is the absence of any evidence of syphilis, a striking contrast with other liuman bones tound in this latitude, I have had the privilege of oxamining several skulls exhumed from other islands, showing very plainly the ravages of this disease in those who have passed away probably cen- turies ago. Near her enclosure were several stakes, between which was stretched a rope made of seal sinews, supporting seal and sea elephant blubber, And fur- ther on were three huts made of whaie’s ribs, cov- ered with brush, but | ge 3 no evidence of bower been lately occupied. By signs and other means communication she was mado aware that they wanted her to accompany them, and, without any apparent hesitation, sue mado ready to follow. She filled a basket—such as were common among the Indians of thi coast for packing on their backs—with provi- sions, fishing tackle aud other articles, and, taking it ou one arm and @ firebrand in the other hand, she followed the company. In their course to where the schooner lay at anchor they fourrd a beautiful spring of water issuing from the bank above the beach, under a shelving rock. ‘The cracks or fissures in this rock were stack full of bones and there were other evidences of an enc ment of the lohe inhabitant of the island. Theso bones were used for nourishment, obtained by sucking; they were dried and resucked many times, showing that occasionally she was put upon short rations, but at tho time of her discovery appeared to have an abund- ance, stich as it was, She retained all her teeth, but they were worn low, supposed to be due to her ehew- ing tough and solid articles of food, Her age ap- peared to be about fifty yoars, Further on was another spring near the beach, under the bank. Here she indicated a desire to bathe, and was permitted todo #0 by the balance of tho party retiring out of sight. After her bath she joined the others and went direct to the shore boat, and thence to the schooner, She was prevailed upon to abandon her firebrand and seal binbber betore pecs | the beach, Going aboard the schooner, she went directly to the stove and warmed herself, indi- cating that she know what the stove was for, She ate heartily of the food of the crew, appeared to en- joy it aud it agreed with her. Mr. Brown made her a skirt of ticking, with which and a sailor's cotton shirt and ® black necktie, her dress was complete. She assisted in making her dress, but could not see to thread her needle. Her sewing was quite rude. She appeared much ploased with her new dreas. ‘The tollowing day she went ashore with the men, who made & separate shelter for her, which she occu. pied about a month, the time spent on the island ctter hunting. She was quite industrious, carryin wood and water without being asked, She appeated contented and happy, frequently singing and chit- tering to herself. The men could not understand what she said, nor she they, but Mr, Nidover said it was truly wonderful how she could converse with them by signs. She occupied a portion of her time in making water vessels of grass and asphaltum, & substance plentitul both on the island and shore of the main land. The grass was piaited into a shape rexem- bling @ demijohn, but wider at the top, and lined with She would put in several small Fitces of the last, mentioned sahetanse end then pon eee, small stones or pebbles about the size f hulled walnuts, heated sufficiently to melt the asphaltum, and, grasping the neck with both hands, the lower end on ground, give it arapid rotary motion for several minutes, and then empty the stones on the ground. The vessels had @ con- tinuous coating on the inside, and are reported to have been water tight, the lining even resisting heat of the sun when covered with water. boil water and cook if desired. ber she could kill the seals with a club when on land sunning themselves or snare them with her sinewy ropes. She obtained fire by rubbing two dry sticks together. One of them, partly flat, had a groove along its entire length, the other was pointed and fitted into the ve, in which it was rubbed rapidly backward and forward until it burned, As usual a storm compelled the to leave the island, and, embarking with their island queen, soon found themselves at sea inastorm. She made signs that she could stop the storm, and, obtaining permis- sion, she knelt on the deck facing the quarter whence the wiad came and commenced muttering something supposed to be a prayer, She soon got up, but con- tinued the prayer at intervals during the appar- ently without fear, and when the wind an to abate she turned to her fellow voyagers and with a smile made signs that her prayers been answered, When they came in sight of Santa Cruz Island, off this coast, she told them by signs that it was an island, and indicated from there how she had seen from her island ships pass up and down, but never land. Also that she had seen the Nidever party the revious day to her discovery as they passed to the ead of the island, She was afraid to make herself known until she knew there was no danger to her person. ‘There were many places of concealment on the island and unless taken unawares she would have been hard to find, As she was about to land at Santa Barbara ox team passed, which so delighted her that ¢ talked, laughed, danced and_ gesticulated, and before that excitement ended a man on horseback approached that gave her even more pleasure tl the appearance of the ox team, first it was s¥pposed that she thought the man and horse constituted one animal, but if so the mistake was soon corrected, for on landing she went up to the horse and carefully examiued it. The examina- tion gave her additional pleasure; she would turn to her late companions, and, laughing, request them to look at the horse. She straddled the thumb of the left hand by the two forefingers of the right, and moved them to represent the horse and rider as they passed along the beach, She was taken to the house of Mr. Nidever, where she became the centre of attraction. The Mission eat interest in her, sending to Los Angelos-and other places, hoping to find some one who could converse with her, but failed, Even tne Pepimaros Indians, who were said to have had an ac- quaintance with the Indians on the island, could not understand her, ‘The family of Mr. Nidever became very much at- tached to her, and although the captain of the brig Fremont offered largely for the privilegeof taking her to San Francisco and placing her on exhibition, it was refused; also, an offer of $1,000 from an- other party for a like purpose was refused, ‘Many people called on her and she received them kindly, but the afternoon was her favorite time for receiving calls, when she would put on her shag-skin dress and entertain her callers with a song-dance. She cared nothing for money, giving it to the chil- dren when given to her. She did not wish to sleep in a bed, and when in bed, did not desire bed cover- ing but was careful not to expose her person. Her manners were not rude, and in many things she was much more refined than many who enjoyed civilized privileges; yet in many things she was very much like a child. She wanted everything she saw that appeared pleasant to the eye or taste, and if fruit was withheld from her she would plead for it in such a child-like manner that it was hard to refuse her. When found she was in excellent physical condi- tion, strong and active; but the eating of truit and vegetables brought ona diarrhoea or dysentery in about three weeks after she landed, and that, in con- nection with an injury to the spine, received by fall- ing trom a porch, terminated her life four weeks later, or seven weeks from the time she landed. her sickness she reluctantly permitted her kind hostess to dress her in flannel underclothes, and took her bed under proper covering, but posi- tively refused to return to her former plain diet, as was proposed by some of those who called to see her. Her aress of shag skins, basket and trinkets were given to Father Gonzalez, of the Mission, who, it is said, sent them to Rome.

FEBRUARY 14, 1879.-TRIPLE. SHEET. THE COURTS. Important Decision Regarding the Con- struction of the Revenue Laws. CLAIMS OF SAILORS FOR WAGES. A Judicial Opinion of the Framer of the Civil Damages Act. In October, 1875, a suit was instituted by the United States government against Edward and John Burke, importers of Bass’ and other English and Scotch ales; Gomez & Arguimbau, importers of Spanish wines and liquors; M. Lienau & Co., importers of French wines and brandie: Osborn & Son & Co., importers of Scotch whiskeys and London Dock gin, and McCul- lagh & Co., importers of Scotch whiskeys, under section 3,318 of the Revised Statutes, to recover from each a penalty of $100 for failure to enter on the in- ternal revenue books the foreign spirits imported by them. Up to 1875 it was supposed that imported liquors paid no internal revenue tax; that the law did not apply to such importations. Since then a contrary position has been taken by the government. The question came up for trial before Judge Blatchford and as jury on the test case of the United States against Seymour, at the June term of the United States District Court, in 1876. Then Judge Blatch- ford held that the law applied to imported as well as Somentic aptrite, twee hak persons then. sped id the penalty ot ) an ‘was suppost The matter was «at an end. The firm of Leszynsky & Troup, general importers, who also import foreign spirits, was at the time of this decision in the district of Collector Weber, but in 1877 moved into Collector Blake's district. Their first knowledge of this decision came from the visit of the internal revenue officers in December last. Their attention then being called to the decision they promptly confessed judgment for, and paid the ity of, $100, and supposed, as they were in the position the other importers had occupied when the question first came up, that would be the end of it. After the penalty had been paid, however, @ warrant was issued upon the same charge. ‘They admitted their tochnical lability be- fore the Commissioner, and pleaded the judgment and payment thereof in bar of the prosecution, claiming that they could not be twice punished for the same technical offence, This question was taken before Judge Blatchford in the form of a writ of habeas corpus and argued about a month ago. The decision of Judge Blatchford, which was rendered yesterday, is a very voluminous and exhaustive opinion, and quotes largely from the proceedings in similar cases in other courts. He holds that Con- Lr in section 3,318, specified that the wholesale lealer for failure to comply with the regulation of the Revenue De; ent was liable to pay a ty of $100, and on conviction to be fined and impris- oned, atid intended to provide for cumulative penal- ties or punishments, three in number. The three were intended as one punishment for the same of- fence; although the penalty of $100 might be recovered in a civil action, fine and imprison ment could follow upon criminal prosecution. In conciusion Judge Blatchford ‘says:—“The proper conclusion from these considerations is that Congress had power to prescribe the punishment by the penniey, and the fine and the imprisonment pre- seril by section 3,318 as a punishment, the whole of which may be imposed, and that the language is such as to indicate an intention that the whole shall be imposed. ‘The languago of Chief Justice Marshall, in the case of the United States vs. A iperect, is ap- plicable to this case, ‘Though penal lAws are to construed strictly these are not to be construed so strictly as to defeat the obvious intention of the Legislature, The maxim is not to be so applied as to narrow the words of the statute to the exclusion of cases which those words, in their ordinary a tion, or in that sense in which the Legislature has obviously used them, would comprehend. The in- tention of the Legislature is to be collected from the words they employ. Where there is no ambiguity in the words there is no room for construction. The jena must be 4 sicane igre aa sey would ben 'y acourt in departing from the plain meaning words, especially in a al act, in search of an in- tention that the words themselves did not suggest.’ It follows that the relatur is not, by what took place in the civil action, exempted from criminal prose- cution, under section 3,318, in respect to the matter ered by the complaint in such civil action, and cov that he is not entitled to discharge on corpus.”* he above decision renders all the importers named liable to turther Ricorans against them. ‘The question, however, will not rest here, as Mr. Leszynsky will take the decision of Judge Blatch- tord to the Supreme Court of the United States, and in this will receive the support of the entire import- ing trade. The matter on the part of the govern- ment was argued by Assistant District Attorney O. P. L. Butler, and for the P pg by Roger M. Sherman, who will carry the case immediately to Washington, CIVIL DAMAGES ACT. Asuit under the Civil Damages act was brought to trial yesterday, before Judge Van Brunt, holding Supreme Court, Circuit. Anna Lavelli, in her complaint, states that her husband, Fran- cis Lavelli, was in the habit of sending their young daughter to the liquor storo or distillery of Patrick Skelly, at No. 256 West Houston street, for liquor several times a day; that her husband would drink the liquor at their house, and, while intox- icated in consequence, would treat her ina most cruel and inhuman manner. She brought suit against Skelly for exemplary damages. After hearing various wit- nesses on behalf of the plaintiffs motion was made to dismiss the complaint. The motion was urged on the ground that there was no proof of direct partici- pation by the defendant in the sale of the liquor, and also no proof that the liquor was sold to Mr. Lavelli, “Under a liberal construction of the act,” urged Mr. Matthews, the defendunt’s counsel, “any person who selis liquor at any time to any other person is reaponsible for tho acts of auy third person who hap- pens to drink the liquor.” “That's so,” said Judge Van Brunt; “the a peroon who framed that act is a fit subject for a Sheriff's Jur; lost certainly,” said the defendant's counsel. “If I should buy @ basket of wine for a dinner party, ‘and one among the party should get drunk and abure violently one of the guests, the man who sold me the wine would, under the act, be responsible for such violence.” “Very clearly,” said Judge Van Brunt. “I'll dis- miss the complaint in this case.”” The plaintiff's counsel, Mr. E. D. Culver, askod for astay of fifteen days to make a caso jor appeal. WAGES OF SHIPWRECKED SAILORS. Asingular claim came before Judge Choate yester- day in the Unitea States District Court—that of the sailors of the steamship Cleopatra for money due them from the owners of that vessel. The steamer struck on a rock inthe harbor of Nassau, N. P., on the 23d of last October, on a voyage from Santiago de Cuba to this port. After lightering her cargo the steamer was floated off and taken into Nassau, where the damage was found so extensive that she was abandoned to the insurance companies, The sailors now claim that they are entitled to wages until their arrival in New York. When the steamship was taken into Nassau the owners offered to pay her crew up to the time the steamsbip struck on the rock, and twenty-eight of their number this offer. Nine others recused and rem in Nassau until the latter part of last January, when the steamship com} (4 refused to pay further board for them, and finally they were seut to Jacsonvill Fia., by the American Consul. By the authorities al Jacksonville they wore sent to Savannah from there they were brought to New York, free of charge, by the steamahip bona When the case was culled yesterday afternoon, by request of counsel for the steamship owners, an adjournment was had until next Monday, The steamship owners claim that they are only liable for the expense up to the time the steamer struck, but Judge Choate clearly intimated that at least they are liable up to the time the steamer was abandoned to the insurance companies, ELEVATED RAILWAY FIREMEN. Jacob Lovott, a firemanin the employ of the New York Elevated Railway Company, sued that corpora- tion in the Marine Court to recover $2,000 damagos for injuries received through the bursting of a glass gauge on one of the railway engines, the broken glass cutting an artery in his arm. Upon the close of tho plaintiff's case Mr. Dudley Field, who sented the defendants, moved to dismiss the complaint, and Judge McAdam granted the motion upon tho ground that there was not sufficient evidence of negligence, there being no poo of any it defect in the material of which the ‘was made, and that if the defect was one visible eye and apparent to ordinary observation, Pee tiff by accepting his omployment assumed tho ordinary risks incidental to it, of which the cause of his injury was one.

Roundsman Platt, who arrested them, stated that he found them passing through John street abort half-past nine o’clock the night before singing loudly and acting in « disorderly manner, The prisoners, who had the appearance of working) girls, gave their names as Catharine Carson and Mags gie and Jennie Jerome, Maggie Jerome testified thet sho and her companions, while out for ® walk were eateaes Throwuh John street ‘and singing in » moderate tone of voice.

When tho case came up again the testimony of the captain and sergeant threw another light on it. Captain Gaffrey ‘tcstified that neither of tho girls was jin any manner in the station house; the complaini prisoner had to bo held by two officers and was considerably under the in- fluence of liquor; she had used language and made efforts to assault the officers; her Gaye were less disorderly, Roundsman Platt denied that he had in any manner abused the gira, and said he only used force enongh to bring them to the station house. Sergeant Oates corroborated the seupeey of the roundeman and captain, and Justice Ott bourg fined the girls $10 each upon the roundeman’@ charge. “ALWAYS WITH YOU." ‘The Henatp has received from “0.
