& AT THE BAR OF JUSTICE. COX ARRAIGNED IN THE COURT OF 10NS TO ANSWER THE INDICT- | HIM YOR MURDES IN THE | -“WE INTERPOSE A PLEA OF CHASTINE Gr RAL Sr ENT AGAIN ST DEGREE Nor GUILTY.” When Chastine Cox, the murderer of Mrs. Hull, left the City Prison for the Court of General Sessions yeeterday, whero ho was to be formally arraigned, before Judge Gildersiveve, to plead to an indictment for murder in the first degree, he seemed to be in | excellent spirits, for while he was being handeuffed to PMicer George Wilson he conversed wath him | pleasantly on the state of the weather. He was neatly dressed in a suit of navy blue, which was sot | off by a nico white tea rose in his buttonhole, pre- | sented to him on Sunday by one of the benevolent | ladies Of the Prison Association visiting the Tombs. Cox, while chatting good humoredly about the breesy morn, made no allusion whatever to his | crime, and gave not the slightest symptom of ner- | vousness or trepidation as he was marched out in | custody. An immense throng had congregated in the vicin- ity of the Tombs in anticipation of getting a glimpse of the “dandy nigger,” as he is termed, but they were doomed to disappointment, It was expected, of course, that he would be placed in the “Black Maria” with the other prisoners en roule to the Gen- eral Sessions, and the fact that a colored man named Wales was among the number of those who were placed in the dark conveyance at once created the impression that he was the man the crowd desired to see. Accordingly when the van started ‘for the Court House it was followed by several hundred per- sons, the number increasing rapidly at every stage. Thus Officer Wilson and his prisoner, who was also guarded by two other officers, escaped for the moment the searching glances and criticisms of the curious throng. Approaching Duano street, how- | death of | the theories of suicide and accident are | scouted. ‘fhe belief expressed by Dr. Fanning, who examined the body, that the wound could not have resulted froia a fall from the hay.

NO ONE YET AGRESTED FOR THE SUPPOSED MURDER AT STONY BROOK, L, 1,—SINGULAR APATHY OF THE OFFICIALS. peared in yesterday's Hina, increases as the time for the continuation of the inquest approaches, and | there is much public indignation at the apathy of | the authorities in-the matter. Nothing else is talked of by the people of the straggling hamlet, and the ideas advanced are as numerous as they well could be in a village of the size. Almost all, however, agree that Lyons was the victim-of foul play, and erywhere mow, but was probably inflicted by some hard and heavy fastruiment, has caused much comment. ‘The statement of Mrs. Hunter, as published in the HexALD, has created the most intense feeling, as it throws @ terrible weight of suspicion upon Mr. Daniel Sherry, the employer of the deceased. Mrs. Sherry and Miss Sherry e:cp..stically deny that they ever made use of the lanyuage attributed to them by Mrs. Hunter, aud state that if they said anything of the kind it was certainly not connected in any way with the death of Lyous, Mr. Sherry is suid to be one of the weulthiest men of the village. He is alnost broken up by the awful suspicion put upon him by his neighbors. It had been said that the District Attorney was to visit Stony Brook and make a thorough investigation of the facts of the case, but it is almost certaim now that he will not go until the | reopening of the inquest on the 8th inst. JOUN JONES’ DISCOVERY. The colored boy, John Jones, the discoverer of | the body, who is regarded with much suspicion, said ever, the stylish cut of the prisoner who, it could easily be observed, was handcuffed, at once attracted | attention, and ina twinkling Cox was surrounded | by @ surging mass. Desperate and determined ef- | torts were made by the running spectators to catch a glance at him, and the negro bore the ordeal with characteristic coolness. Indeed, if anything, he seemed rather flattered by the situation, looking to the right and to the left with evident satisfaction. ‘THE INDICTMENT AGAINST COX. He stepped nimbly up the iron steps leading to the court room, the passageway and corridors be- ing densely packed with spectators, whose exertions to get a look at the prisoner caused not a little con- fusion. Captain McCloskey, however, was equal to the occasion, and Cox was safety lodged in the prisen pen. Owing to excellent arrangements the court room was uot overcrowded, though had one-tenth of the crowd outside gained admittance it would have been packed almost to suffocation. An hour elapsed and Cox sat quietly in his seat, apparently at ease. The bill ordered by the Grand Jury for mur- der in the first degree was in course of preparation and merely awaited the signatures of the meubers of that body. Siortly after twelve o’clock the Grand Jurors filed into court and presented a batch of in- dictments, including that against Cox. Judge Gildersleeve discharged the Grand Jury with the thanks of the Court. "Lhe instrument, which was drawn by Mr. Rollins, contains thirteen counts. The first, second, third, fourth, fifth and thirteenth charge tbe prisoner with killing Jane L. De Forest Hull, at the house No. 140 West Forty-second street, on the morning of June 1, while engaged in a felony; the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth are common law counts for murder, and the tenth, eleventh and twelfth counts charge the prisoner with killing Mrs. Hull While engaged in stealing the property of Alonzo G. Hull. Besides the diflerences above named the counts vary only in setting out the mode ot killing. The death is said to have been effectedas toliows:—In the first, ninth and twelfth counts by smothering and suffocation, by various means particularly specified; in the second count by smothering and suffocating with clothes over the mouth; in the third and eighth counts by smother- iug and suffocating by placing the hands over the mouth and nose; mm the fourth, seventh and eley enth counts by smothermg and ‘sutfocating, not de- scribing how the deed was accomplishea; in the Bfth, sixth and tenth counts by smothering and | suffocating by means of instruments, and in a way and manner to the Grand Jury unknown, and in the thirteenth by smothering and suffocating by press- ing a pillow over the mouth and nose. THE MURDERER ARRAIGNED. “chastine Cox to the bar,” said Assistant District Attorney Kollins amid breathless silence. There was 4 rustle at the prison pen, the slamming of an iron door and the well knit form of Cox appeared in view. Every eye in court was strained toward him; but heediess of the searching glances on every hand he walked up to the railing with a steady tread. Cool, calm and collected, with a smile on his face and one hand upon the railing, he stood awaiting the formal- ity of his arraignment. Mr. John Sparks, the Clerk | ot the court, then read over to him the specitic charges against him contained in the indictment, winding up with the words— “Are you guilty or not guilty?” | ‘The prisoner looked steadily at Mr. Sparks, hesi- | tated, hung his head slightly and in # low voice eave it to my counsel, Mr. Howe, to say. “He says, Your Houor,’ he leaves it to me, Mr. Howe, who stood by the prisoner’s side. we interpose a plea of not guity.”” “L propose,” observed Mr. Rollins, ‘to move this case, unless the counsel for the accused has some said "Aud | application to make, tor the second Monday in the | July term.’ | “We desire,” replied Mr. Howe, “to throw no stone in the Way of a speedy trial, because we believe | Justice will be obtained by that method as well as by | deiay, for which there is no necessity, We are not aware of anything to prevent our going to trial on the day named by Mr. Kollins, save it may be the | absence of some witnesses trom Virginia, who, how- | ever, may not be summoned, I have, therefore, n objection to the case’s being set down for that da; “{ think,” remarked Judye Giidersiceve, “the Dis- trict Attorney and counsel had better consult with | Judge Cowing, who will hoid the July term of the Court.

A CAST TAKEN OF HIS HEAD. When the prisoner reached the Tombs he was d to eit for a plaster cast of his head by Mossrs. Fowler & Wells, phrenologists. He consented to do so. Prior tw taking the cast L. N. Fowler made an examination of the murderer's head, He found it to have combativeness, destructiveness and seusi- tiveness very large; parental love, benevolence, natura endowmeu® conscientiousness, reasoning power aud mechameai ingenuity large: the gitt of lanyuage larg jendship «mail; powers cf en- | Your Honor, durance great.

Unless the authorities take some immediate and de- cisive action, the death of Lyons will probably be added to the long lit of unfathomed mysteries, LOVE THAT LED 10 SUICIDE. A RICH FARMER BLOWS HIS BRAINS OUT BE- CAUSE HIS OFFER IS BEJLCTED—HUNTING- TON, L. I., EXCITED, Huntington. L. L., which is seldom, if ever, with- out a sensation of some kind, has one to-day of such general interest that hardly anything else is talked about. It is the suicide of Mr. Joel Scudder, a rich farmer, connected with some of the oldest and best people of the island. The circumstances attending his death are of a peculiar nature and not without an element of romance. About five years ago old Mr. Israel Scudder died, leaving a large property to be divided between six children. Two of the girls were married, but the three boys were bachelors. Joel and George Scudder bought out the other heirs, and for some years the homestead farm, a large and proauctive one, was run in partnership. After a while, how- ever, Joel bought out his brother and took upon himselt the entire management of the estate. The unmarried sister, Delia, lived with him and kept house. George also resided with him. After a while there were rumors of occasional family mis- understandings, and some time ago William built a new house, into which (some time in July) he was to have moved with his sister and brother George, leaving Joel alone. The latter became melancholy and complained bitterly of his intended desertion. It was commenly whispered, however, among his neighbors that he would not be long alone, as ho was paying marked attention to the dauguter ot a prominent resident of Cold Springs. This was the state of affuirs on Sunday afternoon, when Joel went to his stables, and selecting his favorite horse drove away in a buggy to Cold Spring. There he visited his married sister, and afterward the lady to whom gossip had reported him engaged. He had told his brother when leaving that he would not be back till late. The family were there- fore somewhat surprised when he returned at six o'clock, Putting his horse in the stable, he went slowly up the brick walk to his house, and, entering the dining room, tound his sister sitting’ near the table, supper being over. She said, ‘Joel, we have bad no tea to-night; it was warm, so we did not put the kettle on.” He replied, “Oh, that is nothing; I don’t care for any.” He then walked to the table and took trom it a piece of cake, which he ate, and atter- ward drank a glass of water. THE SHOOTING. Miss Delia then went up stairs to her brother George. Before she went, however, she saw Jocl go to a closet and take out a very handsome double bar- relled breech-loading gun and Ley f with it a mo- ment. He also took out a large tin box of cartridges. She had been up stairs but a moment when both she and her brother heard the report of the gun. They hurried down, and, not tinding Joel indoors, hastened to the back of the house, where they discovered him ying upon his ‘side quite dead. He haa placed the barrel to his right temple, and with the cleaning stick of the gun pressed the trigger. ‘The cartridge was large one and the entire top of his head was blown off. The brains were scattered for six feet around and pieces of the skull were thrown up fully thirty feet against the wall of the house. Physicians were at once sent for, but it was evident that the unfortunate man had not moved after the first shock. He was lying peace- fuily on his left side, his feet crossed, and his face, as ter a8 could be told, bearing not a trace of pain. His body was borne to his resi- dence, and Judge Rolph, in the absence of the Coroner, immediately impannelled » juryS After examining a few witnesses a verdict of suicide was rendered. The aft¥ir has caused the deepest regret throughout the surrounding country, where Mr. Scudder was widely knowr and universally re- spected. From the fagt that shortly before he shot himeelt he had made arrangements to borrow a horse for use on his farm to-day it is inferred that nis suicidal resolve was tuken at the last mo- ment. He died intestate, and the property which he has acquired by purchase from the heirs of his | father’s estate will now return to those from whom he bought it. The lady to whom the unhappy man was paying his _adaresses is the eldest daughter ot Mr. Joseph Buffet, living about three miles from Mr. + ider'’s: farm. She 1s a comely woman, perhaps twenty-five years old. She was greatly shocked by the news of her suitor’s rash act. In repiy to the questions of a Henatp reporter she said that Mr. Scuuder had been | paying attentions to her for several months, but | that she had given him no encouragement. He had roposed niarriage several times, but had been re- face, On Sunday when he c: |, a* he was in the habit of doing, he renewedgthe offer ceived the same unswer as before, He did uot seem speciaily downcast on this occasion and had never made a | threat of suicide, MUSEUM OF NATURAL HITORY, ‘Tho Amertoan Museum of Natural History was yesterday visited by muny of its patrons, fellows and members, Mondays and Tuesdays having been specially set apart as visiting days.

Schmidt, of No. 9 Battery place, being the complainant. The story of the charge, as re- lated toa HxnaLp reporter by the boy himself, is substantially as follows :— “My father, Christoffer Schmidt, went to the Fishing Banks on. Sunday morning, lesving myself and mother in charge of the establishment, which consists of a boarding house and saloon, About noon Iwas behind the bar and my mother was up stairs eating dinner, when an officer came in front of. the saloon door aud committed an indecent act, He was in company with another man and was in uni- form. Bothen ered the saloon together. ‘Ihe offi- cer was very drunk and walked up to a table where Officer Breslin, of the Twenty-sixth precinct, was eating his dinner with Mr. Wagner, a Castle Garden official. After recognizing tho other officer he stag- gered up to the bar and asked fora woman who boards here. I told him that I could not call the person he wanted just then, as it was dinner time. I asked him to wait. He did so, and after a tew minutes again asked fot the woman. I told him diuner was not over yet. He then drew a revolver and called out to the other officer, “I want you to help me take this damned bartender in.” He cocked the pistol and pointed it at my head, while he stood at the end of the counter, saying, “You Dutch —-—— —, I'll settle yo I called on the other officer to protect me, but he ran out of tho place jn terror, as the druken oflicer turned around and pointed his pistol at the people in the place, at the same time calling out, “I'll blow the brains out of uny man that interferes.” In an instant every one in the saloon started for the door, and before I could say anything the place was empty and I was alone with theoflicer. I then ran trom behind the bar and out into the street. FIGHTING WITH A WOMAN, «Just theu my mother, who heard the noise, came down stairs into the saloon, and on seeing me flying from an officer with a cocked revolver, cried out, ‘Stop, for God’s sake. What do you mean? Iam the boy’s mother.’ ‘ihe officer turned around and seized her by the arm with such force that she screamed. He then thrust the pistol into her face and said, ‘Perhaps you want some of it too, you damned .’ Then followed a struggle between the officer and my mother, who tried to escape. The officer yelled out, ‘If you don’t lock up your doors and give me the key I'll blow your damned brains out.’ My mother finally compelled him to leave the saloon, and we locked the door to keep him out. He stood on the sidewalk for some time and waved his revolver in the air, threatening to shoot any one who should approach him. All this time he was using fearfully foul language. My mother was trembling ull over and feared he would return and murder us, as he threatened. After a liftle while he went down towards West street, with the revolver pointed at each-person who came in his way. At the corner he was arrested by Officer Shaw, who took the prisoner to the ‘'wenty-seventh precinct station house. When he got there the sergeant at the desk knocked the re- volver from his hand and drew the cartridges. I made a charge of felonious assvult, accusing him of an attempt to marder myselt and mother. ‘Tue offecr then made a statement, and Capt.in Sanders came in. After hearing the story he re- fused to lock up the man, and sent for Captain Aiken, of the Fitth precin whom he delivered my assailant. I have since learned that, although the officer was drunk, he was put on duty at six o'clock, This morning I went to the Fifth precinct, where Captain Aiken asked mo not to make a charge against the offic r. Linsisted on it. and ho accom- panied me to Police Headquarters, where I told my story and made a tormal charge. When I came home my mother was sick in bed from the effects of her fright,” In answer to an inquiry the boy said he was eighteen years of age. Mr. Wagner, of Castle Gar- den, and Mr. Hogan, au expressman, corroborated his ‘story in eyery particular. ‘The boy’s mother, Mrs. Schmidt, did the same, and exhibited a shght mark on her arm where she said the officer rudely usped ber. Mr. Schmidt, the proprietor, is very indignant at the outrage on his wife and boy. He says that on returning trom the excursion he found his wife in bed from the effects of her scaring. OFFICER HALL'S ACCOUNT. ‘The other side of the story, as told to the reporter by Officer Hall, is considerably ditferent. Officer Hall says that he was on post all Saturday night, and went tora bath to the battery at six A. M. Sun- day. He then went to his home, in Desbrosses street, and found his wife ailing with hemorrhage of the lungs. He went, at her request, to Castie Garden tor the purposeof getting a servant girl. He could not find any one to suit him, and was on the point of leaving when he was accosted by man who told him that a good servant could be got at No. 9 But- tery place. Officer Hall’ says he accompanied the man thither, and, on entering, asked tor the woman in question. He was told to wait and did so. “After waiting for some time,” he said, ‘‘and thinking an officer in full uniform aright to some attention I again asked for the woman. This time I spoke sharply and was answered very rudely. 1 then muttered something about it being a ‘skin game.’ Then I waited and again asked for the per- son, I was retused, and openly said that they were trying to ‘skin’ me and I waen’t going to stand it. I got up, and allthe people suddenly lett the saloon and 1 went after them. As I did so the woman Schmidt ran to me, and I thought there was some put up job to rob me or assault me, as 1 heve heard of such things in emigrant boarding houses, I drew my revolver, and pointing it at tne woman-and boy, bucked out’ into the street. I sup- pose I acted a little queeriy, as 1 was very much ex- cited. I then walked down to West «treet, when Officer Shaw told me I would have to go to the station with hi Ibad my revolver in my hand, but gave itup. Then I was taken to the Twenty-veventh pre- cinct station house and made a statement, livered to Captain Aiken, who sent me on duty.” Captains Aiken and Sanders both say that Hall was pertectly sober and acted in ap orderly manner. The former speaks very highly of the accused oificer* ‘LL’ RAILROADS.

For the six months ending June 30, 1878, there were reported 514 failures, the total lia- bilities amounting to $39,080,795 and the assets to $11,012,662, Of course the repeal of the Bankrupt aw was the main cause of such a large nuiber of failures in that time, but the extraordinary differ- «nce in the gross liabilities shows that while there ure still a large number of failures entinually occurring it is mainly the small mer- cants and traders who have been unable to compete with the men who controlled more capital. Most of tae trades have passed through the trying ordeal of fiuancial stringency, and all appear in a fair way to fleurish, although their condition may be only grad- uilly bettering. A number of prominent and long esablished houses in the various lines of trade have ben forced by adverse circumstances to suspeud since January. The greatest number of failures in any one branch wa; in the produce line; twelve being recorded, with Halilities amounting to $142,877 and assets 229,057, Figit provision merchants fuiled, owing $304,970, andhaving assets to the amount of $110,937, Among thenumber were Herman Brock, William E, Harting and the Marshall Packing Company. In the dry gos trade there were only five failures, the aggre- gate liabilities being $1,222,977 und assets esti- mated at $295,995. The most noticeable failure was that of Whittmore, Peet, Post & Co., whic. carried down seycral other large manu- facturing concerns outside of New York city. Seven fancy goods dealers failed, having lia- pilities to the amount of $96,186 and assets $35,43 and seen dealers in gentlemen's furnishing goods suspetded, owing $36,156 and having assets aggre- gating $13,974.

In the upper precincts of the city tho law was carried out most strictly, and the temperance people seemed to feel that such would be the case, 50 tho Society for the Prevention of Crime kept its agents SALOON KEI engaged down town and sueh complaints as they made in court yesterday were against saloon in the jower section. One Patan uct was palpably illustrated b; the appearance of risoners and that was the isinclination of the averaye patroliuan to interfere with the wealthy and iufluential Liquor dealer. Iu nearly every instance it was the keeper of some obscure beer saloon or groggery that camo before the bar, Searcely a sin- yle barkeeper in any large piace had been put undor a usual, the excise raid was the means of bring- ing a curiously assorted crowd to the police courts when the 1magistrate mounted the bench in the morning. Lawyers seeking bondsmen, politicians coming to ‘*squi hings’’ and the ordinary riff-raft that curiosity thither on such occasions—all were on hand, and served to throng the corridors and keep the court room buzzing. At the Jefferson Market Police Court six prisoners were produced. Justice Morgan declined taki any bondsmen ior the $100 bail required for cach of the prisonors until they were properly identified, This was effected after some delay, and all were liberated, At the Yombs twenty-tour prisoners were arraigned, of whom all but one were bailed. Inthe Essex Market Court — saloon keepors gave bonds to appear for trial. OLD MONEY BROUGHT TO LIGHT. In making up the ace ante of the refunding cer- tificates sold at the Now Y@rk Post Office somo inter- esting statistics have appeared of the kind of money paid for the ten-dollar notes. From $400 to $800 in silver pieces smaller than half dollars were received daily, and from $500 to $600 in gold coin, nearly all of old dates, as far back as 1855 and 1866. Tho money was not worn, but appeared like new coin that had been stowed away, Some of this mone; wrapped in tissue paper and tied up with thread. A large number of old filthy notes were also received, generally of small amounts, and presenting a greasy, musty a) rance, as if they had been pac: away in old dirty clothes for sate keeping. Some of there bills were criap and stiff, as if they had Iain between the leaves of books tor years, Between April 24 and May 29 over $3,000,000 was received by the Postmas- ter for the ten-dollar certificates, At loast one-third. | of this money was of the character above described and had evidently been hoarded up for years, with- out bearing any interest up to the time it was in- vested in the bonds. ——-+ + MARRIAGES AND DkaTHS, MARRIED.

A Strong and Fairly Active Stock Market. J MONEY ON CALL RULES AT 31-2 PER CENT Government, State and Railroad Bonds Buoyant. Wat. Strerr, Monpay, June 30—6 P, M. } Unless something unexpected occurs to destroy the resemblance the current week in stock circles’ bids fair to be as much like the past one as “two peas ina pod.” ‘That is to say, that it will be equally in- active, equally devoid of important fluctuations and equally free from that speculative excitement which ig needful to make a brisk and profitable market, Business this morning, as has been the case for some days back, simply drowsed through the session. When the market was half awake some little activity was manifested; when it went to sleep (which it did on the least provocation) activity slept also. In ite waking moments such stocks as St. Paul common, Delaware aud Lackawanna and Iron Mountain were for 2 brief period animated, al- though it must be confessed that, - whether asleep or awake, they continued notably strong the day through. The buying movement in the St. Paul common shares was persistent, and was the means of advancing prices about one per cent above the lowest prices of the day, and to so hold them at the end. Delaware and Lackawanna was equally strong, and showed a fractional rise. Both this company and Delaware and Hudson have issued. their schedules for July, which mark up the price of coal 10 per cent per ton. Loan impression prevail. ing among the innocents of the Board room that these companies may get this better price is to be attributed the firmness of the anturacite shares, The Iron Mountain property advanced nearly two per cent under the opinion that the narrow gaug- ing of the line and the contemplated co-opera- tion with the Texas and Pacific road would add materially to its prospects, and as a con-’ sequence to the market value of its stocks, It is announced that the Quicksilver Miuing Com. pany will, on and after to-day, be prepared to pay off their remaining bonded indebtedness to the amount of $263,000, and that beyond this amount the com. pany owes no debt whatever. The price of the stock was unaffected by this anncuncement, and if there was any rise iu quicksilver it was confined to the thermometer. Money on call was a shade sharper to-day, a temporary edge being put upon it by the fact that the various corporations which have an- nounced dividends desire to have their funds well in hand for to-morrow’s payments. In mining matters there is nothing to remark beyond an increased ac tivity in Great Eastern and a small advance in Bodie. All the dropsical mines are at work to-day pumping their superfluous fluid into the Sutro Tunnel, which is represented as being equal to all the tapping facil- ities which may be required of it.
